MORE LEGISLATION WANTED
AGAINST THE CONCEALED
WEAPON.

"IfhF NV
One of the most serious and
perpleXing problems with which
the South has to contend is the
prevalent pistol toting habit
Probably majority of the
homicides and shooting scrapes
yearly occurring + directly
due to the ever ready revolver
concealed about the person.
Is there no way of legislating
the concealed deadly weapon
out of existence? We sincerely
trust so. South Carolina has
cred several laws against tbr
evil, but without appreciate
success. The present law
seems to be but little, if any,
improvement on its predecessors
Why not try something more
drastic? Why not make the
penalty for carrying a concealed
deadly weapon so severe that no
man will dare violate the law?
There is no question about
the fact that this pistol.toting
business is a grave menace to
the very civilization of this
country, and such being the
case, we believe that the legisla.
ture would be fully warranted
in enacting whatever law may
be necessary to suppress it. If
1t cannot be stopped in any
other way make the punish
ment a term in the penitentiary.
and give the officers of the law
&he right to search persons sus-
pected Of carrying conceded
'eauly weapons.
The Columbia Record calls
nntion to a bill now pending
e the Legislature, introduc.
st year, which it says in the
on of many would, if en-
edo more good in SUD-
g the carrying of conceal
aapons than any other
ne yet suggested" The
is modelled, the Record says,
..er the law of the District of
and it further says
that ''this law is being adopted
in various states because it has
proven so effective in the dis.
trict." The main provisions of
the law are given by the Record
.as follows
1t shall be unlawful for any
person to carry concealed pts,
tolls, dirks, daggers, razors,
brass knucks, etc. 1t shall be
unlawful to carry such weapons

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SAN JOSE, Oct. 13--In a squalid lit
tie room in the Delmas building on Post
street, Ernest Born was found in a
dying condition this morning by Po-
liceman John Humburg. Born was
partly dressed and was lying upon
his face on the floor at the foot of the
bed The door and window of the
room were both locked on the inside.
and the policeman gained entrance by
climbing through the transom. 4 large
cash was found below the right eye
of the dying man, and a search OF
the room revealed nearly $4,000 in gold
and bank books representing about
$4,000 more.
Born is San Francisco refugee and
he came to San Jose several months
ago. obtaining employment at the
freight yards of the Southern Pacific
in this city. He is about so years of
age. His recovery is doubtful
The theory of the police is that Born
was suddenly stricken with apoplexy
and that the abrasion on the cheek was
caused by his face striking the floor
The fact that the window and door
were locked and the large amount of
money found in the room discredits any
theory of attempted murder or rob-
berry.
Born had not been seen for several
days. and the police were asked to
make an investigation. Humburg was
detailed on the case. He had the al
most lifeless body removed to the
Emergency Hospital. from which place
it was afterward taken to the Red
Cross Sanitarium. Up to late hour
Born had not regained consciousness.
1t is probable that he had been lying
in the same position on the floor for
two or three days He was but few
feet from the bed. and had evidently
just gotten up when he was stricken,
and fell to the floor. His face struck
the wooden flooring with heavy force
causing the deep cash below the eye

In the course of investigation into

Eastern Federal agents, under the di-
rection of William ]. Burns, have run
across what is called a wasps' nest in
municipal affairs While pursuing in
vestigations the Eastern and local
Treasury agents have found evidence
of corruption and thievery in depart
ments of the administration that
would result in indictments had the
crimes been committed against the
Government.
The first intimation of graft that
Burns and his men obtained was while
the internal revenue conditions were
under scrutiny. The whisky dealers.
in conversation with the secret service
men, told of dealings with the admins

information obtained with Francis ].

Of this city convinced the Federal Of
hcials that the local police were not
able TO furnish adequate protection

Gallagher Fails to Quiet

The mass-meeting heralded as
great popular uprising was engineered
by body Of citizens who as recently
as last Thursday had promised to send
Abe Ruef to the penitentiary. About
their secret organization they had
erected wall calculated to guard them
from their enemies without. but Ruef
entered the sacred precincts in the
bowels Of a wooden horse When this
secret committee gathered in the rooms
of the California Promotion COMMITTEES
to arrange the hnaI details before call
Ing the meeting to order. IL was
found that Ruef and Acting Mayor
Gallagher were on the spot ready to
Cooperate" There was an awkward
delay and then the radical members
OF the committee charged that E. r.
Lilienthal OF the Crown DistiHeries
Company and president OF the Mer-
chants Exchange had supplied Ruef
with the wooden quadruped.
Lihenthal hotly denied the accusa-
ton. but said that no good could come
from such a meeting should 1t take
on political hue.
So all the political tints in the back
ground were erased. and then Ruef
came forward with his brush and after
few artistic strokes had converted
the canvas into a political whitewash.
RESOLUTIONS TURNED DOWN.
The bold resolutions calling upon the
citizens to stop lawIessness. cleanse the
city and sweep the mercenary boss
from his throne amid the ruins" were
properly" expurgated before they
