GRAND JURY WORKS ON BIG
GRAFT PLOTS.
Thousands of Dollars Said to Have
Been Paid for Franchise Ordinances
by Various Corporafion5-May Have
Received Confessions.
liars Said to Have

The action of the grand jury at San
Francisco in bringing before 1t Monday
the members Of the board of super
visors aroused the greatest interest in
the proceedings Of that body, which
has been forced to suspend its sessions
on account OF the doubts thrown upon
its legality of existence by the attor-
neys OF Mayor Schultz and Abraham
Ruef, indicted for alleged extortion.
When it was announced Monday that
the grand jury would probably remain
in session all night it was conceded
that extraordinary results might be
looked for.
To add to the public excitement the
Bulletin published an extra" declar-
ing that further exposures of munich
pal corruption had been made and
that many indictments would soon be
made. In certain circles the state
ments were given credence because of
the knowledge that the Bulletin people
have been openly securing evidence TO
aid Assistant District Attorney Heney
in his prosecution Of public officials.
The Bulletin says that a plot involv-
Ing the granting of valuable street rail-
way privileges was laid bare Monday.
1t is charged that the sum Of $780,
600 was paid to higher officials to per-
nit Of the conversion Of street railway
systems into electric lines and that the
bulk of this money was retained by
"a mysterious man." and that small
sums of money were parceled out to
minor city officials to secure enough
votes to permit of the granting of the
required franchise.
Another story is that rival telephone
companies each paid large sums Of
money, one to shut off competition and
the other to secure the right Of COM
peting for public patronage.

JEFFRIES TO FIGHT AGAIN.
Champion heavyweight is in Need OF
Money

Jim Jeffries, the greatest pubilist Of
them all, has been compelled to come
out of retirement and will be seen
again in action in about four months.
Jim needs the money badly and on
that account he has notified Match
maker McCarey, Of the Pacific Athletic
club, of Los Angeles, to match him
with Bill Squires as soon as the Aus
tralian champion arrives in Califor-
MIA.
Jeffries has lost considerable money
gambling during the last twelve
months. Word has been received in
New York that he has given up his
ranch outside of Los Angeles and has
moved into the city. 1t is said that
his money is all gone and that his
wife has refused to give him any more.
That is why the big fellow is ready
to fight again.

SIGNS PAVING CONTRACT.
Mayor of Aberdeen Convinced City Is
Getting Square Deal.

The paving question, which caused
such a turmoil in Aberdeen about two
weeks ago, and which resulted in one
alderman resigning because Of the OPP
position that developed to the propos-
ed Improvement, has been settled so
far as the mayor and city council are
concerned The mayor signed the con-
tract, giving the work to the Kettle
River Quarries Co., of Minneapo-
lis The cost Of the paving to be done
will amount to $4,000, and before
signing the contract the mayor made
inquiries in other cities where the
company had done similar work. This
was to satisfy himself that Aberdeen
is getting a square deal, the impress
sion having been that the firms bid
ding for the work formed combine to
keep up the price.
The trouble is not yet over, accord
ing to one of the leading spirits or
those opposing the paving, and 1t is be-
lieved an effort will be made to hold
up the contract by injunction so that
the matter can be submitted to ref
erendum at the next election. In the
meantime the contract has been
awarded and work will begin as soon
as the weather permits.

GRIEF FOR THE SALOON MEN
1t Is Seen I'm New Law Enacted al
Pierre.

It Is Seen I'm q New Law Enacted ut
Pierre.
One of the new laws enacted by
the recent legislature which will make
considerable trouble for some of the
saloon men of South Dakota, provid-
es that no saloon can do business with
in a third of a mile of an educational
Institution. In Sioux Falls there are
a number of saloons within the pro-
hibited distance Of the high school
building, the Central public school
building and the Sioux Falls Business
college. The same is true of practi-
cally every other city or town in the
state. where saloons are doing busi-
ness within a third of a mile from
public school buildings. The only
weak poin in the law, from the stand
point of those desiring its strict en-
forcement is the failure of the law
to specify exactly what schools will
come under the head of educational
institutions. This leaves a loOphOle
which will without doubt be taken
advantage of by saloon men who may
be affected by the provisions of the
new law, and if attempts are made in
Sioux Falls or elsewhere to withhold
licenses from saloons doing business
within the distance Of a third of q
milo Of any school or college, litiga-
ton is certain to result and the exact
meaning of educational institutions
will have to be judicially defined.

BROKERS SOBER UP.
Big Wall Street Spree is Finally
Checked

An unusual scene was enacted on
the floor of the New York stock ex-
change Friday just after the market
had closed strong and buoyant in
sharp contrast to the Generalization
Of Thursday. Brokers gathered
around the trading posts and cheered
loudly in demonstration Of their re-
lief and satisfaction at the days
change in speculative sentiment from
the panicky feeling of the day before.
Congratulations were exchanged all
around the room on the fact that the
members Of the exchange without ex-
ception had successfully passed
through the severe declines in prices
OF the past two weeks, and hopes were
generally expressed that the worst was
over.
A feature of the day was the state
ment by William Rockefeller. He
said:
1.-The present astonishing decline in
the values of securities is as much a
mystery to me as it can be to anyone.
l know that public confidence has
been disturbed, but do not think that
it could have been in any such meas
ure as to justify so great a fall in
prices. With genuine, overwhelming
prosperity throughout the country
there certainly seems no adequate rea-
son for it. AS for myself and asso-
ciates, our faith in the future of the
country has net been shaken at all,
and we have been buyers and not SELL
ers throughout the past ten days.
Throughout the business troubles we
have done and are doing all we can
to restore and maintain public conf
dence. 1t is very clear to me that the
people who are throwing away their
securities at panic prices will sorely
regret 1t within the next six months.

While the law protects antelope in
this state, such protection would be OF
little avail in much of the country
west Of the Missouri If it were not for
the fact that the ranchers themselves
look to the prevention Of the slaugh-

Der Of bands of the animals are locat-
ing themselves. Several with from
twenty to thirty in band are report
ed to be on Bad river, near Philip,
this winter, probably having come out
Of the Bad Lands, where they make
their summer pasturage. One man
who has just come in from the Grand
river country reports seeing a band OF
more than 100 on that stream a few
days ago. He claims to have counted
100 in the band, and that they were
spread over a hilltop, and he knew
that some of the band were out of his
sight With the protection which is
now being given them these animals
should in few years again be numer-
Gus in the western part of the state.
