MAYOR TO EXPLAIN
OFFERS OF BRIBES|
Give Names of Those Alleged to Have
rendered Him 100000 Year

"Come to my Office Tuesday morning
and let us have little talk about that
$4,000 bribery charge you made before
the fire commission Friday morning.
Bring your memory with you" This
was the context of u letter Mayor Nc
Aleer received from District Attorney
Fredericks yesterday morning. The
district attorney did not even trust this
invitation to Uncle Sam for delivery,
but sent it by special messenger.
What will Mayor McAleer have to
say to District Attorney John D. Fred
ericks when he appears before the le-
gal adviser of the county Tuesday
morning to explain the statement made
by him, when, in speaking Of the at
tack on Chief Lips, he remarked that
$S0O00 a year in bribes had been Of
fered him during his term OF office?"
This is the question which the most
prominent politicians and business
men of the city were asking yesterday
and there promises to be large and
select audience in the corridors of the
court house Tuesday morning when
the mayor comes up to have his little
tete-a-tcte with Fredercks.
IF there be any grating we viii
have the grafters arrested and will
probe the case to the bottom" was the
statement made yesterday by the dis
trict attorney.
Early yesterday morning District At
torney Fredericks prepared a course
OF action. He had learned of Nc
Aleers statements regarding the bribe
and when he was interviewed he was
prepared to give his ultimatum.
Will Probe Case
81 have learned the statements adj
Nanced by the mayor" said Fredericks
yesterday: IF the bribe of $4,000 was
offered the mayor L shall find out about
it, and # there is a bribe giver / shall
find that out, too, and a prosecution will
follow. If the facilities of my office
are insufficient to cope with this case
I shall ask one of the superior judges
to call a special session of the grand
jury"
When the communication was re-
ceiVed at the city nall yesterday there
was CONSERVATION. The note from
Fredericks looked simple enough, but it
caused the mayor to wear a worried
expression during the day.
what have L to say regarding the
communication from the district attor-
ney," said McAleer "Well at this
time I will make no statement. At
the proper time and before the proper
authorities L shall have a statement

ing to be said about it,
Following is the statement made di-
rectly to the newspaper men, just pre-
ceeding the exoneration of Chief Lips
by the fire commission, Friday. The
statement was made by Mayor McAleer
in the presence of fifty witnesses.
II want to go on record at this time
as saying for the benefit of some of our
critics that this fire commission is the
first that L have ever known in this
city that is above reproach from any
faction Affiliations, political or other
wise. There is not man at this table
today who has not been approached
directly or indirectly with offers of
money bribes in buying supplies.

ministration we are criticised. Why?
Because we do not allow ourselves to be

Business Men Ask Questions
This statement of the mayor busi-
ness men of Los Angeles took up with
q jump. "Why," said Los Angeles
man of finance yesterday, "if the mayor
and his fire commission have been ap-
preached with sucn bribes, has there
not been some complaint made to the
authorities? Why, if the board is the
only wholly honest one in the history
OF Los Angeles has it allowed people
to sneak in there and attempt to cor
rupt it by Offering bribes of such mag
nitude? IF the bribe giVers consid-
cred the mayors price somewhere in
the neighborhood of $4,000, what did
they offer The members of the fire COM
mission? Why is the mayor or the
fire commission entitled to any consid-
Grafton from newspapers or anyone else
when they allow bribe givers to offer
them money and not report them? The
mayor says no wanted to go on record
as saying that there is not Il man on
the fire commission, including himself,
who has not been approached with

is now on record all right.
"What corporation or individual in
the city or county of Los Angeles needs
the yearly assistance of the mayor
to the extent of $4,000? What has the
mayor to buy in connection with the
fire commission that the letting of the
contracts would be worth $S0,000 to any
tirm?"
Many of these questions the mayor
will be called upon to explain to Dis
trict Attorney rredericks.
Early yesterday morning many re-
quests for an Investigation We're re-
ceived by the district attorney The
price alleged to have been shown the
mayor as an inducement seemed rather
high to business men of the city and
they stated that they really wanted to
know which of their coWorkers was
able to afford such a comfortable
bribe
Rogers in Secret
Attorney Earl Rogers, who conducted
the defense of Lips, stated Friday that
he, too, was in on the alleged bribe
secret and that he could tell some-
thing about it if his clients required
that proof be given.

and certainly If there had been any
bribe-giving or Offering during my ad-
ministration I should have immedi
ately taken the case before the grand
jury.
