the alleged manner of their deposit.

may be kept in possession of the treas

Assessor May Be Questioned

Before the final adjournment of the
grand jlFy is taken it is probable that
the probe will be used on the Office of
County Assessor Clarence Hayward, the
object being to determine whether all
assessable property within the county
is actually listed on his books.
It was determined yesterday that the
grand jury will take no action toward
instructing District Attorney Bullock
to commence suit against Treasurer
Chamberlain for the 2 per cent interest
claimed to be due on the funds on de-
posit. If such a suit is Instituted the
initiative will have to come from the
board of supervisors. The board at a
special meeting yesterday morning
failed to act upon the resolution al
ready introduced with this end in view,
putting the matter over until the next
meeting.
The grand jury will resume its work
today, and tonight there will be held
in San Mateo a. mass meeting called by
Adolph Jacobs of South San Francisco
to protest against existing conditions
in county government. This mass meet
ing has not met with favor in the eyes
of the grand jury, but the efforts of
Foreman Kertell to prevent it have
been fruitless and it will take place as
announced.

Nat c. Goodwin's best play in the opin-
ion of many. Turning upon the secret
love of d middle-aged bachelor for his
ward, there is some fine dialogue and
plenty of action. Richard Carewe, past
bis first youth, fears that his ward,
Phyllis, just 81, loves another, a youth
left in his care and that of two friends,
the Doctor and the Soldier Man, by a
brother officer years before. These
three old cronies arrange that Phyllis
and the youth whom they call the Imp,
shall marry. The two are not in love
with each other, though the older peo-
pie think so. Phyllis really loves Ca
rewe. and the Imp has secretly married
a woman of the lower music halls VINO is
called the FREELY. When Carewe hears
of the boys infatuation, not knowing
of the marriage, he goes to the woman
and buys her off, his task being easy
when she learns that the Imp is not
rich, as she thought him. The Imp
happens along as the bargain is being
concluded, and accuses mis- foster father
of treacheTy. He leaves in q rage, say
ing that he will never return. When
he does come back he has found his
