GREAT GRAF IN
SAN FRANCISCO
Two Million Dollars Annual
ly Squeezed Out of
Dive Keepers.
BY Associated Press.

San Francisco, Cal, April 26.-Po-
lice Captain John Mooney, who has
made me sensational charges in his
testimony before the grand jury, will
again be star witness at today's ses
sion of the grand jury. In addition
to the captain, several of his patrol
men who have been doing plain
clothes duty in the "Tenderloin" will
be called to the stand.
The charges of wholesale graft in
the police department that have been
given by witnesses before the grand
jury have been qualified to some ex-
tent by witnesses before the district
attorney. that not all men who guard
the Red Light" district of the city
are guilty OF the charges of eXtortion
and graft.
1t is pointed out by the various po-
lice officials that if the charges were
true in but half the cases of patrol
men. corporals, seTgeants and higher
officers the money so derived would
amount to nearly $2,0O0,OOO and the
price paid by each dive nearly $500
week.
The trial of Abraham Ruef will pro-
coed tomorrow, when the new We
nire of jurors will be examined.

THE
FIRE ALARM
SYSTEM
A Heavily Charged Electric
Wire Came in Contact
With Alarm Wires.

The fire alarm system of the city
was practically destroyed last night,
when, in order To save the truck
houses the wires were cut. This was
due to the wires coming in contact
with heavily charged electric wires.
Shortly before : o'clock it was
noticed that the woodwork in all of
The truck houses, where the alarm
wires entered. was smoking and that
the alarm gongs were beinb burned out
As soon as this was discovered a mes
sage was sent to City Electrician Lee
Baron and it vas soon found that the
entire fire alarm system was charged
With electricity IL such al extent that
the truck houses would be badly dam
aged or burned If something was not
Immediately done. Being unable to
locate the point where the electric and
fire alarm wires were crossed il was
decided best 20 cut the wires Of the
fire alarm system, and this was done
without delay.
II is feared that many Of the alarm
gOngs il the truck houses have either
been badly damaged or burned ut
completely. The one in the home of
Chief Bicker. which was recently pur-
chased. was burned out completely.
As il will require some days 10 place
the system in condition so that fire
alarms can be sent in from the boxes
in various sections OF the city. resi-
dents are notified that when fires are
discovered TO telephone any OF the
truck houses IN order that the hose
CCmDanieS can respond to the alarm.
