SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 1S,-The
action of the grand jury in bringing be-
fore It today the members Of the Board
OF Supervisors aroused the greatest in
terest in the proceedings Of that body
which has been forced to suspend its ses-
sions on account OF the doubts thrown
upon its legality of existence by the at
torneys Of Mayor Schmitz and Abraham
Ruef indicted for alleged extortion. When
It was announced today that the grand
Jury would probably remain In session all
night 1t was conceded that extraordinary
results might be looked for. To add to
the public excitement the Bulletin tonight
published an extra declaring that fur
Their exposures Of municipal corruption had
been made and that many indictments
would soon be returned. In certain circles
the statements were given Credence be-
cause 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 involving the
granting of valuable street railway privi-
leges were laid bare today.
Big Price for Franchise.
1t is charged that the sum of $4,000
was paid to high officials to permit of the
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 Sc
cure enough votes to permit of the grant
ing of the required franchises. Another
story is the rival telephone companies each
paid large sums CT money, one to shut off
competition and the other to secure tho
right of competition for public patronage.
Another charge is that a corruption fund
of $4,000 was raised by prize fight pro-
meters TO secure a monopoly of fight per
mits The railway franchises and the tele-
phone franchise were passed by the super
visors in the day Of confusion Immediately
! following the earthquake in April Tho

all of these legislative acts.

which have direct bearing on charges pri-
vately and publicly made. Assistant Dis
