CHARGE AGAINST NICHOLAS

OdANG6 AGA1NS1 N1CaOLAS
The specific charge against Mich
olas is that he ''willfully, unlawfully,
feloniously and corruptly" agreed
with J. A. Holmes to receive a bribe
of S26.10 in return for his vote as
chairman of the committee on public
buildings of the Board of Supervisors
in favor OF a bill of SOL for furniture
supplied for municipal purposes.
As chairman OF. the committee on
public buildings Nicholas had super
vision OF all the furniture bought for
the city, and the charge brought
against him IN the Indictment repre-
sents but small part of the graft in
which Prosecutor Heney intends TO
involve him and other members of the
Board of Supervisors.
According to evidence 'amassed by
Special Agent William Burns. Mich
olas collected a commission OF 10 per
cent on all furniture sold to the city,
and the graft is said to have reached
extensive proportions. Immediately
after the FIRE and earthquake, II IS
pointed out by the prosecutors, nearly
every municipal Office in the city had
to be supplied with new furniture.
Heney believes that at least 100000
worth of furniture was sold to the
city at the time. and that the graft on
his item alone reached at least $4,000.
OTHER OFFICIALS INVOLVED
1t is not intended TO charge the
receiving of all this graft against
Nicholas. He, according to Heney,
was but one of the Supervisors in
VOWED in this form of graft, and fur
ther indictments against other mem
bers of the board are expected to fol-
low from evidence to be presented to

John Black, Governor Hayward yes
terday notified the attorney general,
Mr.. Leroy F. Youmans, that it is the
intention Of the governor to remove
Major Black from Office if the law
gives him the jurisdiction so to do.
Governor Hayward says in a 6inif1ed
way that Major Blacks conduct is a
grave o6ense against the peace and
dignity of the State and his inclination
is to remove Major Black from his
Office "as a rebuke for such behavior
on the part Of one holding so import

The attorneys representing Major
Black argued with Governor Hayward
for two hours yesterday as to his ju-
risdiction in the matter. The principal
argument was made by ex-Sen.
w. B. Gruber, a brother-in-law of
Major Black. The whole matter was
referred to the Office Of the attorney
general, and it is probable that Mr.
Youmans Will not have an opinion
ready before Tuesday, as he was indis-
posed yesterday. AS soon as he receiv-

Eye Comfort

In the higher, or civilized stage Of
life. the eye is required to do more
than in the lower spheres of life.
There is more strain upon vision
because it rs the most important
means of knowledge. Those follow
ing pursuits of civilization have their
eyes fixed i'll their scrutiny of near
objects a greater part OF the time
This means a continuous contraction
of the ciliary muscle, which means
a continual supply of nerve force to
the eyes. Now If these muscles and
nerve centres are not in perfect har-
mony you will experience headache,
sleeplessness, stomach trouble and
feel as though you can not contain
yourself-neryousne More than
one third of the gray matter of the
brain is utilized to perform the func-
tions of the eyes. My speciality is to
see that the demand of this gray
matter does not exceed the supply. If
