chased stock for a customer and to whom
it was delivered.

The first direct step toward arming
Detective William j. Burns and his as
sistants with power as officers of the

flee in the war on graft was taken by
the board of supervisors yesterday at
Mayor Taylor's suggestion. when a COM

Langdon to the mayor and the latter's
approval were referred to the finance
committee for action.
Langdon asked, and Mayor Taylor
recommended, that the district attorney
be empowered to employ "one special
agent at monthly salary of 1925 and
"25 assistants" at monthly salaries of
$3.50 each to act as detectives under
his direction.
The board of supervisors has already
in the burget set aside special fund
of $4,000 to be used by the district
attorneys office for its extraordinary
expenditures in lighting the higher ups,
and Langdon suggested that this fund
might properly be drawn upon for the
appropriation. Supervisor Booth in

salaries be allowed and asked it's ref

Thinks New York Will
Give Bryan Knife
Controller Metz, Fresh From
Convention, Says eve Won't
Take Off Our Coats"


That Bryan will receive but luke
warm support from the New York
democrats is the belief of Herman A.
Metz, controller of the city of New
York, who registered at the St. Francis
last night after spending a week in
Denver.
"Of course we are going back to
New York and shout for Bryan" Metz
said I'VE won't take off our coats or
get excited about it, however, and,
ballot. We wanted Johnson. 1 was
the only delegate seated from Kings
county. and when the rest left the con-
vention hall 1 went with them
I'm the event of either candidates
election, there is nothing to fear. The
worst has already happened. Bryan
says that Roosevelt has stolen his poll
cies. Eight years ago we were afraid
of the Bryan idea. Now we have been
schooled and know how to handle such
policies. There was nothing note
worthy in the convention Happily the
people still believe that they have
popular government.
Times are still hard In the east.
The mills are working only half time.
Credit is better, however, and financial
conditions are easier. The banks are
holding their money in fear of re-
turn of the conditions of last October.
They are not lending on real estate and
the result Is that there is little build
ing going on.
The causes of the panic, however.
have been done away with. Too much
expansion and a system of lending
money too easily were at the bottom
of the panic. 1t wasn't banking. but
system of pawn brokerage. The
reckoning day came and the conse-
quent distress.
The Roosevelt agitation against
trusts has had this effect: 1t has put
stop to the manipulation feature of
the railroad business. Hitherto rail-
roadmen did not care how much the
road was going to make. They wanted
to control it merely for stock jobbing
purposes.
Metz was nominated for congress
once. but withdrew from the field. He
was a member of the board of educa-
tion before being elected controller.
He has large copper interests and
chemical and dye factories in this city,
New York, Chicago and Boston.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN JOSE, July l3.-Cursing him
self in full round oaths, all the more
terrible because uttered in a clear
childish voice, II year old Leon Frost,
a San Jose schoolboy, drew pistol in
the sheriff's Office this afternoon and
attempted to kill himself after he had
been arrested for robbing a neigh
boris house and had been told that
there was a possibility of his being
sent to the Whittier reform school.
Deputy Sheriff Howard Burlington
managed to reach the child's side, and
as the little fellow pushed a couple of
cartridges in the weapon, he snatched
the gun away in time to prevent his
using it, Burlington then doubled the
child over his knee and administered a
good, sound, old fashioned spanking.
The boy entered the home of Mrs.
Bailey on McKendrie street today dur
ing the absence of the family and stole
a gold watch, considerable amount of
money, locket and knife. He en-
tered the place through window.
AS he was leaving the place he saw
Mrs. Bailey and her daughter return
ing from a drive and Informed them he
had just seen a tramp running out of
their yard. The women investigated
and found that the house had been
robbed and ransacked. The sheriff S
office was notified and after working
on the case for several hours the boy
was taken into custody. AS soon as
he saw that he was suspected of the
crime the boy attens1ted to get rid
of a pistol by throwing it in some
bushes.
1t proved to be a weapon taken in
former burglary of the Bailey resi-
dence. The boy is bright member of
the seventh grade of the Hester school
of the city and resides with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. n. Frost, at 3s2 Mont
gomery street.
