No Sunday Performances Legal.
Justice O'Gorman goes much fur
ther and says that under the law as it
stands no performances of any kind
are permissible in theaters on Sunday,
and the production of any such per-
formance is punishable by a loss of
license and by criminal proceedings
against the proprietor
Despite Justice O'Gorman's decision,
it is likely that all theatrical managers
who have been giving Sunday concerts
will continue them unless the police
interfere. 1t was said at several the.
aters last night that Sunday shows
would go on until the police commits
ksioner issued an order forbidding them
or else send policemen to stop the
performance.

city's history made final report
last evening. During the investigation
the jury returned AL indictments. in
volving Al persons. Most Of its work
was concerned with graft and bribery.
connected with the municipal affairs
and public utility corporations of San
Francisco. The final report says. in
part:
I'VE cannot even outline the vast
amount of evidence received by us,
showing corruption and vice of the
lowest kind. involving great moral tur-
pitude such as the participation of the
former mayor in profits earned by the
prostitution of the lowest of fallen
women, which constitute recital OF
seemingly inconceivable sin, shame
and violation of law.
Property Owners Are Robbed.
"The unlawful and corrupt protec.
tion given by the police to vice for the
benefit, pecuniarily and politically. OF
the heads of the administration and
many of the rank and file of the de
partments is unbelievable. There was
not property owner in San Francisco
after the fire in whose property there
remained any salvage, who was not
robbed by the connivance of the police
officials with the junk thief"
