In winter it is heated. In fog the out

attention The investigation OF the AFFAIR,
which has been attended by several sem

showed that something unusual was ex-

which the warning had not reached, or
where IL had been disregarded, were
pounced upon by the raiders and before
morning the cells a the Tenderloin sta

their capacity.
Bail commissioners reaped a rich har-
