UNDER CAPT. EDWIN FARLEY
SCHMITZ GUILTY
OF CONSPIRACY
WITH JUNK THIEF

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 1.-THE
Oliver grand jury, the most noted in
the city's history, made a final re-
port today. During the investiga-
ton the jury returned AL indict-
ments involving AZ persons.
Most of its work was connected
with graft" and bribery, connected
with municipal affairs and public
utility corporations of San Francisco
The final report says in part:
eve cannot even outline the vast
amount of evidence received by us
showing corruption and vice of the
lowest kind involving great moral
|terpitude such as the participation OF
former Mayor Schmitz in profits
earned by prostitution of the lowest
of fallen women, which constitute a
recital of seemingly inconceivable
sin. shame and violation of law.
Unlawful and corrupt protection
given by police to vice for benefit,
pecuniarily and politically. of heads
of administration and many of the
rank and file of departments is un-
believable. There was not a property
owner in San Francisco after the fire
in whose property there remained
any salvage, who was not robbed by
connivance of officials with the junk
thief"

COUNTY POTTER'S
FIELD DISCUSSED
In FISCAL COURT
Members of Court Favor Sell
ing Tyler Tract and Purch-
asing Cemetery Across the
Road From New County
Poor Farm.
EMERY AND GHOLsON OPPOSE

Quite a lively tilt was precipitated
in the fiscal court yesterday over a
proposition to sell the present county
burying ground at Tyler and pur-
chase several acres across the road
from the new poor farm, for a Gene
terry. Two years ago the county pur-
chased the Tyler site near the NJ, C.
& st. L. depot for $1,000, and a
motion was made at The session yes
terday afternoon to sell the tracy
for $3.50.
This was opposed by Magistrates
Emery and Gholson. who favored re-
tanning what the county had bought
Magistrate Emery took the position
that it would be bad business policy
for the county to sell for $3.50 a tract
for which it had paid s1,050 two
years before, especially as the land
promises to be worth more, and the
county. while not in actual need OF
the $3.50, does not have to pay taxes
and can afford to wait.
On the other hand, he suggested
that as the county owns ~ acres al
the poor house site and only four
are under cultivation, two acres on
one of the Mills might be converted
into a cemetery. He opposed pur-
chasing a site across the road, be-
cause the inmates would have too
clear a prospect of their futures gaz-
ing at the pauper tombstones every
day.
The court voted to secure an op-
ton on the tract across the road
Magistrates Emery and Gholson
alone opposing.
It was also suggested that the
,ounty cemetery be plated and tHei
the graves. in section Of four, be
numbered, and a record kept,
so that a body may be readily
Identified by reference TO the plat.
Slabs with metal stensils also prob
ably will be used for marking
graves.
