VAN LIEU is @swEATED"

John Van Lieu, treasurer of the En-
pire Construction Company, one of the
associate enterprises of the Home Com
pany in Oakland, came out of the
Grand Jury room with sweat dripping
from his forehead. Langdon and Heney
had him on the witness stand for more
than half an hour, and their acquaint-
ance with the operations of Detwiler
while he was making his headquarters
in the Office of that company In Oak
land was a matter of genuine astonish-
ment to Van Lieu. He was unwillingly
forced to buttress the case being built
UP by the prosecution against Detwiler
and to make admissions that greatly
embarrassed him. Toward the close of
his cross-examination the prosecutors

its franchise in Oakland, and while no
direct testimony was given before the
Grand Jury yesterday which proved
that 1t was secured irregularly. the
activity OF Detwiler in dining the mem
bers OF the City Council and other
officials while the fight on the ordi-
mace was pending indicated that his
methods were not very different from
those he followed when he was paying
the members of the Board or super
visors in San Francisco for their votes.
Detwiler, among other things, took
the members OF the Oakland City Coun-
ell on junket to Los Angeles. Yes
terday's testimony before the Grand
Jury brought out that prior to this
entertaining journey opposition to the
Home Company was very vigorous
among the Oakland Councilmen. When
the junket was over, however, the COM
pany had secured enough votes to pass
the ordinance providing for the fran
chise- The final vote stood to s.
PRENDEGAST EXAMINED
Nicholas Prendegast promoter of
the Home Company, was among the
chief witnesses examined before the
Grand Jury on the doings of Detwiler
in Oakland. Prendegast had intimate
knowledge of a lot of the inside do
ings of the company in Oakland, and
was able to furnish the jury with much
information affecting the manner in
which the corporation secured its fran
chises in that city and San Francisco.
Detwiler, according to Prendegast, had
charge of all the details relating to
securing the franchises and arranged
for the junkets and other entertain
ments given by the company to enlist
support in its favor.
J. S. Reardon. chief clerk of the Cen
trail Bank of Oakland. was another wit
ness questioned closely by Langdon
and Heney on Detwiler's doings in
Oakland. II was in the Central Bank
that the 100000 brought by Detwiler
from Los Angeles to secure the fran
chise of the Home Company, In San
Francisco was deposited. For the
franchise itself only $4,000 was paid
to the city. The remaining $4,000
went to the relief fund. The check for
the latter amount was made out to
Supervisor Gallagher and by him
turned over to the officials of the relief
fund. Reardon testified to this and
other facts which showed the intimate
relations between Detwiler and Gal
lagher, but could give no direct testi-
mony on the Toledo capitalists opera
tions in securing the Oakland fran
chise for the Home Company.

A Remarkably Able Communi
cation to the Legislature
NEEDED LAWS ARE SUGGESTED
Says Our State is Enjoying a Period
Of Unbounded Prosperity-Favors
Education and Morality.

The following is the substance of
the message Of Governor R. B. Glenn
to the General Assembly of North
Carolina:
To the Honorable, the General Assem-
bly, Of North Carolina
You meet to-day under most favor
able circumstances. Never before was
the State in such a prosperous con-
dition, and its increase agriculturally,
educationally and morally, has been
phenomenal.
Since the General Assembly last
met, crops have been generally good
and have brought prices above the
average, so that our farmers are in
good condition and out Of debt, and
their lands much enhanced in value.
New enterprises have everywhere
sprung into existence, and the rattle
OF the loom, the hum Of machinery
and the scream Of the steam whistle
make sweet music to- the industrial
ear. To-day our State has taken the
second place in the United States in
the manufacture Of cotton goods and
furniture, and first in the production
OF plug tobacco.
Labor has received good wages, but
there IS a great scss:city in every line
OF work, and a growing demand is
therefore being made to devise some
remedy for an increase in laborers,
provided they be the right kind.
The cause Of education has greatly
advanced. Good school houses and
equipment, a higher grade Of teachers
longer terms, and more general in
terest IN school work, are evidences OF
an educational awakening that prom
Uses great things in the future. The
moral trend has gradually been on.
