ONE CAPITALIST
WORTH WHILE

SAN FRANCISCO, April g.
When District Attorney Langdon
became aware of the municipal rot
tenness of this city and enrolled
Francis J. Heney in his fight for
civic purity. it was necessary to
look around for financial support
to make the campaign of inyestiga-
ton.
Then it was that Rudolph
Spreckels. millionaire in his own
name and heir to the millions of
his father, Claus Spreckels, came to
the front with the offer to raise a
fund for reformation purposes.

SCHM|TZ LIVED LIKE A KING
ON HIS SALARY AS MAYOR

San Francisco to date exactly $751;
500.
Schmitz has spent during his ten
ure of office $1,000.
Mayor Schmitz claimed that he
sold his old residence for $4,000
and it was this money that he put
in his new home. Adding that sum
to his salary as mayor, it would
give him in years and months
exactly $40,500. Out of this sum
he has spent $751; 900 and still has
money left.
Schmitz was an uncouth and sun
cultured man when he-had great
ness thrust upon him, but he rapid
ly outgrew this condition.
He learned the art of public
speaking and as time went ON and
he got practice he cultivated a
rather crude imitation of oratory.
But to return again to that money
proposition. Besides spending
$751; 900 with only $46,500 going,
Eugene f. Schmitz still has money
in the banks, few bundles of ne
gotiable securities and a little
bunch of real estate that would
trouble a working man to pay taxes
on.
The wonder is "where did it all
come from?"
San Francisco's grand jury, un'
der the direction of District Attor
ney Langdon and his able assistant
Francis j. Heney, is uncovering the
answer.
They spell it graft"

SHE DIED AT
THE WHEEL

SAN RAFAEL, Cal, April g.
Riding on her beam ends in the
wind swept waters of San Pablo
bay, her sails spread upon the
water the wreck of the Scow
schooner Mystery is all that is left
to describe the fate of brave Grace
Espinosa, her aged father and 2
sisters.
When the terrific storm that has
been raging in these parts was at
it's height, the Mystery was tossed
about as if it was a cork. Hour
after hour the Is year old daught-
err of the owner, Grace Espinosa,
chung to the wheel on deck. She
had been trained from childhood to
pilot the schooner, and when friend
ly seamen volunteered to come
aboard during the storm and re-
lieve her, she would not consent.
"The Mystery can ride in this
kind of weather" she shouted land
I'm not a bit afraid. The storm will
die down before morning"
The lights Of the Mystery were
seen bobbing up and down in the
storm as late as midnight. In the
morning the wrecked schooner,
with no lives aboard, lay riding on
her beam ends. The bodies of the
old man and his 8 daughters have
not yet been recovered.
The Mystery was oen of the
strangest craft that ever cruised
the bay. ESpinosa and his )
daughters knew no other home,
The 3 girls were the sailors and
did all the work of loading and I'M
loading the craft. At the time she
succumbed the Mystery was taking

GETTING EVEN WITH

SEATTLE, April 6.-Believing
that what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, large num-
Der of subscribers to the Sunset
Telephone Co. are getting even
with that concern for docking the
pay of its telephone girls in Feb
ruary by taking 10 cents off their
phone rent for that month
The Sunset company locked the
girls pay because February was a
very short month, thereby saving
several hundred dollars.
Many phone users, believing this
q gross injustice, decided to hold
out 10 cents of their phone rent for
the short month. No phones have
been taken out yet.
