Of doing. Il consider myself" he wrote,
more guilty of the offense than she, as
il was my fault that she went wrong,
as l should have taken more care of

dock when she arrived. If she is re-
leased l will send her to my people in

Andrews Statement.

When the Grand Jury was organ
lied l realized that it could do no ef-
fective work without funds" said
Foreman Andrews last evening, land
1 at once set about on a hunt for
money. Judge Kerrigan, who was
then presiding Judge; Auditor Baehr
and District Attorney Byington were
called into conference. The law was
thoroughly threshed out and we are
absolutely safe on the proposition that
the court can make orders on the
treasury for our expenses.
1T was agreed by Judge Kerrigan
and Auditor Baehr that they would
honor the payment of claims to the
amount of $1,000 a month for a period
of three months. We ignored Mayor
Schmitz in the matter because we did
not deem it prudent to appeal to him
for aid inasmuch as his administration
might come under investigation dur
ing our Investigations.
"I have a finance committee on the
Grand Jury that goes over all the ac-
counts and then the whole body
passes on them. No, I did not item
ize my personal expense bills to Judge
Iawlor, who is now presiding Judge.
He has said he will o. K. anything 1
sign nv name to. I could not reveal
the items because they are part of
the Grand Jury secrets"
The foreman described the attitude
of the Mayor as "a case of sour
grapes"

Sent 70 the Central Emer-
Qency Hospital.


When Mrs. Grace Squires appeared
before Judge Cook yesterday to be
sentenced on two charges Of burglary
her attorney. Walter Gallagher, said
he was satisfied that the woman was
mentally incompetent. There was no
necessity for her to steal, as her hus-
band was able TO keep her and her lit
tie daughter in comfortable circum-
stances. He suggested that she be
examined as TO her sanity.
The Judge said the woman did not
appear TO belong TO the criminal class.
He asked her what motive she had
in stealing and she replied, I don't
know" The Judge said he would
make an order sending her to the in
sane ward at the Central Emergency
Hospital and if a report was made to
him that she was irresponsible he
would exercise the power given him by
the Legislature and allow her TO go on
probation. although he had never done
so before.
The cases were continued till Feb
ruary p. Mrs. Squires entered the
room Of Mrs. Verlie Campbell, 123
Turk street. on October 81 and the
residence Of Peter Hoy, 11O5 Laguna

Questions Legality of Pay
ing Grand Jury Expenses
Upon Orders From Court
STATEMENT is FILED
Will Take Steps to Have
Money Paid Back if the
Expenditure Is Invalid
STATEMENT Is FILED

AS a preliminary to the proposed in
vestigation into the Legality of the ex-
penditures incurred by the Grand Jury
in excess of the appropriation spe-
cifically made for the purpose Mayor
Schmitz yesterday received an itemized
account of the audited demands of the
inquisitorial body from Auditor Baehr
Accompanying the account was the fol-
lowing letter from the Auditor:
Hon. E. E. Schmitz, Mayor:
Your communication of the 18th inst
received. In accordance with your re-
quest l inclose you herewith an item
lied account of all audited demands of
the present Grand Jury to date The
demands have been audited by me upon
the authority of the Superior Court of
this city and county on orders made
and issued through the presiding
! Judges thereof. namely: Frank H.
kerrigan and William P. Lawlor
Under the decisions of our Supreme
Court, l consider these expenses the
same as jurors fees and reporters
fees, which must be paid out of the
general fund without regard to the
specific amount raised by the Super
visors for these purposes. In the case
of Jackson VS.. Baehr, which I took to
the Supreme Court, on this question the
court said: 1T is claimed by the de-
fendant that the Board Of Supervisors
has set apart $4,000 for trial jurors in
criminal cases, and that this fund is
exhausted. That he is expressly for
hidden by the charter of the city and
upon an unexhausted specific appro-
priation. 1t is sufficient in answer to
this to say that the Superior courts are
State courts, and criminal cases con-
Germ the State and are State affairs.
The statute provides that the fees Of
jurors shall be paid out of the general
fund Of said county, or city and
/ county,
The expenses of the Grand Jury being
a State affair imposed upon the city
and county by general law, L have al
lowed their demands on 80 general
fund, in accordance with the foregoing
decision.
HARRY BAEHR, Auditor.
DISBURSEMENTS TTEMIZED.
Among the demands are the follow
ing:
December-Rent OF rooms, s97 so;
carriage hire, $42 50 incidentals for
Foreman Andrews, $34 16 automobiles,
SO; furniture. $153 72 law books, S35.
January-Carriage hire, SIS so; cash
expended by Foreman Andrews, $373 IS;
experts De Laveaga and Dinkelspiel,
$45; expert architect, Tharp, s25S 80; ex-
pert accountant, Douglass Young,
S25S 80 mot audited; rent for Febru-
airy, $65; furniture, s38.
Il will make an investigation in or
der to ascertain if these bills should
be paid by the city simply because the
court orders their payment" said May
or SchmitZ after he had read Baehrs
letter. From preliminary inquiries /
am of the opinion that the court has no
right to order the payment of these
bills unless they apply to the expenses
of the court itself. Now l do not con-
slider that the expenses of the Grand
Jury are part of the courts expenses
and therefore it has absolutely moth

George A. Davis was ION the wal
path" yesterday afternoon. This as
sertion is original with that member
of the bar He said it to A NJ. Brown
his associate counsel in a case about
doris. The remark had reference to a
case in the District Court that morn
ing, where Messrs. Brown and Davis
were opposing counsel. Mr. Davis lost
the case and thereby hangs this tale.
Just before meeting, in his afternoon
ally, his antagonist of the forenoon.
Mr. Davis had interviewed Judge De
Bolt in the latters chambers and done
some talking.
! On coming out he flashed a type
written document in an Advertiser re-
! pCrter's face. but declined to allow
| copy of it to be made, or even permit
perusaI long enough to convey gist
of the contents.
Mr.. Davis, however, gave an oral
statement of the trouble. From this it
appeared that the object of pursuit at
the further end of the war path on
which the attorney had entered is Dis
trict Magistrate w. L. Whitney.
If Judge De Bolt should refuse to
issue a, warrant to bring before him for
trial two defendants whom Judge
Whitney that morning discharged, Mr..
Davis would bring a charge of incom-
potency against Judge Whitney under
a statute made and provided for the
regulation of district magistrates
I'm my twenty-seven years expert
ence at the bar have never known a
clearer case of guilt made out Mr..
Davis said. These men were proved
guilty of extortion of one hundred dol
lars. Yet Mr. Whitney dismissed the
case without giving any reasons
sakano and Uta Nakashima, Japa-
nese, were the defendants in the case,
the charge being conspiracy.
Mr.. Brown, counsel for defendants,
was surprised Wnen seen later at the
commotion Mr.. Davis was attempting
to raise
when the prosecution had put on
its evidence" Mr.. Brown said, 81
moved that the defendants be discharg-
ed, as the prosecution by it's own show
ing had failed to make out a case.
Judge Whitney evidently saw the mat

was positively no case proved

The daily newspapers which have occasion
now and then to refer to the enlisted force

bers as tackles" This is a relic of the
expressions OF former times, and IL ought
to go the way of other archaic phraseology.
1t Is not dignifed term. such as may prop

are connected with our ships of war. and

why the title of Jackie" should live longer.
1t has served the purpose of nickname In
the period when the navy was less serious

The service has changed with the years.
The wooden frigate, with its imposing
broadside of muzzle loading guns, has been
taken from the sea. The steel marvel Of
propelling and fighting machinery has taken
its place. The rough and tumble. hearty,
loyal sailor of the Delaying pin period is an
engaging memory. The modern sailor and
marine Is the triumphant product of prac-

Years OF intelligent obedience have brought

These are the qualities which make the
American "bluetacket" an object Of pride
