worth nearly Two millions having
come up.
The board has no power to compel

Mountainair, n. NJ. August 29.--
Especial. Howard Coleman, the
young Belen cutoff engineer, who
wandered away In demented con-

near here this morning. Though
without nourishment during the en-

posed to constant rains day and

have examined him today believe
that he will soon recover
Coleman, who has been employed
on the CUTOFF for some time, was
taken i'll last Friday and brought TO
his home here. In a moment of de-
lirium, he evaded the nurse and
wandered away.
Search has been kept up constant
ly and II was generally believed that
the missing man must be dead, as he
was in very weak, delirious condi-
ton when he escaped from his room.
Only one or two traces of him were
discovered until this morning, when
one of the searchers saw man with
torn clothing, coming toward the
town and investigation proved that
1t was Coleman.
Exposure Cured Him
The effect of the delirium had al
most passed away and to the surprise
of everyone who saw the man, he
seemed much better physically than
when he was last seen before his
disappearance. Despite the rains oil
almost every day and night, and the
fact that he had no food, he had
not suffered and is apparently on this
road to a rapid recovery. All traces
of fever seem to have left him.

San Francisco. Calf, August a.
The leading members of the grand
jury. the men who have borne the
burden OF the work in pursuing and
indicting bribers and pribe takers
are preparing to formulate detailed
report of the work of the grand
jury to be issued when that body as
at present composed goes out of ex-
istence. Never in the history of any
grand jury In San Francisco has
there developed the interest that is
current regarding the final report of
the work of the inquisitorial body.
the grand jury will prepare a
lengthy report in addition TO the
statistical and formal report of Fore
man oliver for the enlightenment and
political education of men of all
professions and walks of life in San
Francisco.
The plan to issue a full report of
the Investigations undertaken orig
mated some time ago and met with
instant and strong opposition from
the heads OF three subcommittee
OF the grand jury. After argument
had been tried and in vain, a com
promise was effected and it was

Elementary reports of the sub-com-
mittee chairman on each municipal
department under Investigation.
Would Eliminate Some
This plan was acceded TO by the
minority, for In that way no record
would be made public by the grand
jury showing that Ruef. Glass and
other prominent men who are not
officials of the city had been indict-
ed. In this way the reports of COM
mittees would show that Schmitz and
other officials. of the boodiing gang
had been attacked and the names OF
Ruef and others equally guilty and
more responsible would be eliminat-
ed from the report.
This plan was about to be pursued
when II was blocked by a laughable
obstacle Several committee chair
men absolutely refused to make re-
ports on their departments, and
When pressed for reason declared
that they were unable to couch
their reports In readable English
and would therefore rather make
no report. The objection has beer
finally overcome by the promise OF
other committeeman to supply the
stenographer to straighten out the
kinks in their dlctation so that the
reports may be complete.
