Moved by the cause of righteousness
to try to detect graft in their midst,
the Los Angeles board of supervisors
Yesterday began to investigate them
selves to see if possibly one or more of
them might not be grafters.
Not that any such slur had been
thrown upon them by each other, oh
no, but they had been talked about by
a. morning newspaper and they had to

unbeknown to themselves they might
not have grated little unconsclously.
Yesterday they all appeared all
primed for the occasion. incidentally
Diogenes, with his battered old lantern
Ioafed about the court house corridors
in hopes that he might strike a live
one but he didn't and he went away
in disgust.
Chairman Charles Patterson arrived
early. He was neatly groomed and
flawless. If anyone was going to find
fault with him he wanted to look as
nice as possible during the perform
ance. Following him came George
Alexander of the board. Alexander Is
the stereotyped honest man OF the
board. Nobody ever questioned his
honesty and the other members well
coined his appearance with delight, for
they had a model to point to II neces-
when 1t was learned that Alexander
did not have a shoe shine and the
other supervisors hustled him along in
order to get properly primped before
the examiners made their appearance.
Lowenthal in Ignorance
Pete Wilson, upon whose devoted
head most of the venom of the alleged
investigation has fallen, did not seem
to be worried. He was even discoV-
cred patting himself on the back be-
cause he knew how honest he was,

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
"ereen Bug" Reported In Kansas
Wheat Fields-Decline in
Provisions
By Associated Press.

DN associated ITeSS.
CHICAGO. March 12.--The announce
ment that the green bug" has invaded
the wheat fields of Kansas was the
reason for the strength developed late
in the day in the wheat market. Pit
traders here assumed that the reported
invasion will result in much damage
to the crop of that state and this
caused u wild scramble by shorts to
cover. During the last fifteen minutes
of trading May advanced more than
a cent and the close was excited and
strong at the highest Of the day. The
early sentiment was decidedly bearish
and prices ranged below the close of
yesterday. The governments estimate
of farm reserves was mainly respon-
sible for this weakness. A decrease
of $4,000 bushels in the worlds visible
supply as shown by Bradstreet's, COM
pared with an increase of 2S6 900 bush
els last year contributed in a small
degree to the strength May opened

a "a sold off to 76 &c and advanced
to 761ac where it closed a lsc net
higher Trading in corn was extreme
little change. The close was steady.
May opened 4 &C lower at 46 "A to 467s
dl7c and closed isc up at 471sc.
The government crop report caused
free selling Of oats and the market
was weak. May opened u a asc lower

declined to 40%c Final quotations
were at Al "a a 4 C, 3sc down.

mood. Special service is required at
many of the stalls to trim the sprouts
and box the onions that sell at varying
prices
Vegetables of a better quality are on
sale, but. a considerable portion of the
best specimens are selected early by the
pedders who cater to the best class OF
trade in certain sections of the city.
Good butter was in active demand and
jobbers were anxious to make purchases
in the market or on change to supply
customers. Receipts were over 5000
pounds.
Twenty-one carloads Of eastern pota-
toes were added to the surplus stock in
the market.
Posted receipts showed that nearly 500
cases of local eggs had been received. The
sales included fifty cases of local case
count and twenty-five cases of northern
case count eggs.
Northern cheese was advanced l cent

pressed ignorance of the whole affair.
Arthur Clark was then called and
was on the witness stand most of the
morning. He stated that q year ago
Attorney E. l.. Hutchison, accom-
panied by two disgruntled oil dealers,
had appeared at his Office and had Of
fered him evidence against the alleged
oil frauds in the form of a greasy note
book. The oil men showed great lib
erality, for they wanted only $500 for
selling out the men from whom they
had formerly secured contracts. One
of the oil men claimed to know that
the alleged oil graft had gone on for
some time and as a result a warrant
may be issued for him, because even
after the fraud had come to his
knowledge he did not report it to the
officers and therefore became a party
to it.
FL Hutch Has Crouch
Instead of reporting the case for in
vestigation at that time the public
spirited newspaper allowed the graft to
continue for year before taking it up
and then they exploited it in such
way as to prevent the securing of
legal testimony that, had their been
any ground, would have secured a con-
viction of someone.
At any rale, attorneys became wrathy
over the details of the proceeding and
Attorney Hutchison, who had come
in, evidently with crouch, demanded
that he be allowed to explain his posi-
ton, which he did at length without in
teresting anyone much and incidentally
he referee to one of the newspaper
men as "Abe Ruef" and trouble may
yet result from 1t.
When the afternoon had been COM
pleted at a late hour no one was con-
vinced that anyone had really done
anything and they adjourned until this
morning, when it will be taken up
again. The witnesses are being rigidly
cross examined, but everything thus
far has been straight and regular.
