SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 10. The
Chronicle says: A new investigation ls
progressing In the course OF develop
ments In the local graft scandal II now
appears that many sums OF money,
large and small. that were sent from DIFF
fercnt states 10 San Francisco for the
relief OF the sufferers from the calam-
lty never reached the relief committee.
Some OF these amounts. which aggre-
gated n large sum. were mailed TO the
care OF Mayor Schmltz. Il. j. Heney,
Detective william Burns and about a
hundred government agents have been
making an investigation.
President Roosevelt Is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry. and he de-
clares that no man guilty OF divertlng
the relief funds shall escape justice.
The cases come within the jurIsdlc-
lion OF the federal authorities because
Of the Interstate character OF the postal
service. which II Is alleged was crimi-
nally tempered with.
A considerable sum OF money was
also sent through the express compa-
MES, and Wells Fargo. which company
Is now investigating the disappearance
OF $i0,5s0 sent In one package from
the citizens Of searchllght. New, which
the relief committee say they never re-
celved and which the company says
was delivered TO the representative OF
the committee TO whom II was ad.

The crime OF forgery Is said TO be In.
cluded In the offenses of the raiders of
the relief contributions.
1t is said that In the aggregate the
stealings will amount TO $1,000.000.
Word was received here that Mayor
Schmitz sailed from Europe for New
York on Nov. on the steamship Patri.

NEED OF DISCRIMINATION.


Those who like that peculiarly rich,
pulpy Western fruit known as the
papaw, which has been defined as "a
natural custard,' are likely to be inn
moderately fond of 1t; but those who
do not like 1t nearly always have a
strong aversion to 1t. A man was on
trial in a Missouri court, charged with
having broken into neighbours prem
ises and stolen bushel of this fruit.
The first man examined as to his
qualifications to sit on the jury was
asked this question. among others
DO you like papawsT
Il can eat hatful of 'em at one
sitting" answered the man. with a
broad smile.

attorney, 1--WE challenge this man."

judge.
The next man who was examined
did not like papaws-the very idea of
eating them made him sick"
We'll take him, your honor" said
the prosecuting attorney.
Hold onw exclaimed the attorney
for the defense. I'VE object to this

the judge.
"The fact that he doesn't like pa
