Municipal Employees Forced to Pay Tribute
Jury Will Probe
Petty Police
Graft
Evidence Is on Hand

Graft In the Police Department will
be one of the new matters introduced
to the attention of the Grand JuryVby
Prosecutor Heney when that body re-
convenes on Tuesday.
Conclusive evidence is in the hands
of the graft investigators. it became
known yesterday, of trafficking in stars
to special policemen, the assignment of
policemen to theaters and other places
of public amusement, and the shaking
down" of Chinese DESTROYS of returning
TO San Francisco from Oakland and
other suburban towns since the earth
quake and fire.
The selling of stars to special police
men, according to evidence amassed by
Secret Agent Burns. has been one of
the petty but most extensive gratis in
the Police Department Money which
has likewise been supposed to go into
the city treasury from the service of
bluecoats detailed to public places of
amusement has reverted to the pockets
of officials of the department and been
regarded as a perquisite of their Of
fee. which no one had a right to ques-
ton.
The police, according to the evil
denee, had become so accustomed to
this form of graft that they appeared
to consider any one who refused 1t to
be unfit for service in the department.
The axiom that maintains In other big
cities among the superior officers of
the Police Department that the wisest
bluecoat is invariably the wealthiest
one, seems to have been fully appreci-
ated in San Francisco. Graft in all its
ramificationS was more familiar to
some of them than the business of
catching crooks or detecting crime, and
formation that makes some of the ex-
perienced shake-down men Of the police
in Chicago and New York look like
amateurs when compared with those
in San Francisco.
The holding up of Chinese since the
earthquake is by far the most repre-
hensible of all the grating that has
come to the knowledge of Burns since
he has been Investigating the police.
The evidence in this matter is the most
conclusive in his possession. 1t was
secured from the lords of Chinatown
in Oakland, who were at first disinclin-
ed to make any revelations. Pressure
was brought to bear on them through
ton, Sir Chentuns LANG Cheng. how
ever, and they finally placed at Burns
disposal an exhaustive mass of evil
dence. This includes names of police
men. dates on which they shook down
Cinnamon, and the amounts paid by the
latter. AS testimony goes, 1t is among
the most detailed in possession OF the
graft investigators.

dence amassed by Secret Agent Burns
which will be used in an attempt to es-
tablish the fact that Gallagher was
eognizant of all the graft carried on
In the Board of Supervisors and that
as chairman of the finance committee
no bills could be passed without his
assent and supervision.
The finance committee. so Heney will
attempt to prove by the evidence Sc
cured by Burns. played a prominent
part in the building, supplies, telephone
and other big gratis which have been
matter of street gossip since April
and upon which the most sensational
revelations yet to be made in the IN
CURRY will hinge. Heney was sure of all
his facts, it is declared, al the time he
called Schmitz, Ruef and the members
of the Board of Supervisors "uncon-
victed felons" and said that the assault
made by them on the prosecutors office
was a confession of their guilt
The programme Heney will follow
In proceeding against Gallagher and
the Supervisors, it is declared, will be
as follows
Indictments will be sought against
each of them on separate and specific
charge s-similar to the indictment
asked for the desk graft in which SUI
pervisor Nicholas is involved. No at
eOiiPt Will nc iflduc 10 group
and the Supervisors collectively in any
OF these Indictments. but separate bills
will be asked for in each individual
case of proved graft. AS soon as one
indictment has been secured, Heney
will proceed to present further evil
dence against the same individual or
individuals on other charges The
cases TO be worked up against the
grating officials. in other words, will
he 6er~
complete in themselves, and separate
bail is to be asked for each The Sc
curing of bail, in fact, promises to
play an unusual factor in the inyesti-
cation now on, If indictments are re-
turned at the same rate and frequency
as they already have been In the case
of Ruef and Schmitz. the surety com
panfes will soon have to come to the
relief of more than one city official
One thing that became known yester-
day, however, will give municipal
grdfters some ease That is the fact
that Heney is personally opposed to
liking ball at prohibitory figures when
more than one Indictment is returned
against men now being investigated.
who have less money than Ruef or
Schmitz. Heney is not seeking to make
indicted officials spend their time in
Jail before being brought to trial. The
trial of the men is the sole thing he
is aiming at, and his object in separat-
ing the cases of Individual officials in
dicted for similar charges is done to
insure this end In the case of bail
having to be given on five different
charges, in brief he would much pre-
fer that it would be small in each in
stance and come from five different
sources, rather than that it should be
so large in bulk that bondsmen could
not be secured and the indicted official
must be sent to jail to await trial.
