Serious Charge Made in Connection With San Francisco
Calamity-.-Said that in the Aggregate Steal
Will Amount to $l,OOO,O0O

San Francisco, Nov 15.-The Chron-
tcle says:
A new investigation is progressing
in the course of developments in the
local graft scandal. 1t now appears
that many sums of money, large and
small, that were sent from different
states to San Francisco for the re-
lief of the sufferers from the calamity
never reached the relief committee.
Some of these amounts, which aggre-
gated a large sum, were mailed to
the care; of Mayor Schmitz. F. J.
Heney, Detective William Burns and
about 100 government agents have
been making investigation.
President Roosevelt is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry and he de-
clares that no man guilty of diverting
the relief funds shall escape justice.
The cases come within the jurisdic-
ton of the federal authorities because
of the interstate character of the
postal service, which, it is alleged,
was criminally tempered with.
A considerable sum of money was
also sent through the express compa-
MES and the Wells-Fargo company is
now investigating the disappearance
| of $10,580 sent in one package from
the citizens of Searchlight, New, which
the relief committee says they never
received and which the company says
was delivered to the representative
OF the committee to whom it was ad
dressed. The crime of forgery is sale
to be included in the offenses of thu
raiders of the relief contributions.
1t is said that in the aggregate thu
stealings will amount to a million
dollars.

that he hang the jury and force dis
agreement.
Myers says he does not know who
the man who rendered him the money
was, though it was the same man in

The bride offered in the second in
stance may have been greater than
$500, as the agent did not state the
amount; merely displaying huge roll
of bills. -
Prosecutor David and other county
officers will not discuss the charge of
attempted bribery.
Members of the jury on which My
ers served have been summoned be-
fore the grand jury to give their tes-
timony. Rumors of attempts to bribe

been frequent during the trial and
afterward. This gave rise to the in

and wearing short moustache. He
explains that he~said nothing of the
offer because he feared the conse-
ouent notOriety.
