Oakland, Cal, Dec. 3.-John S.
Delaney, one of the most prominent
attorneys of Oakland, was found
guilty of felony embezzlement by a
jury today, after being out just 80
minutes.
The charge was made in connection
with the recent scandals in the office
of the public administrator, it being
alleged that Delaney, as counsel for
Public Administrator Gray, withheld
funds from estates being admins
tered.
When the scandals were exposed,
Gray was forced to resign. 1t was
shown, upon investigation, that he
delegated much of the work of the
ocffie to Delaney. Several indict-
ments were returned against the
attorney.
The trial has attracted much at
teDtion here.
Delaney has returned about $19,-
900 to the county, and he and his
attorneys believed that this would
serve to clear him.
Delaney is a member of wealthy
family, and is connected with the
leading people of the city.

that only those roads which were
performing their duties, when the
Act was created, and did not need

The Southern Pacific bridge over
the South Santiam washed out in
November 1906, and not being re-
built, the company did not operate
the seven miles of track between
Crabtree and Tallman. This Com
mission, Notwithstanding the fact
that the road was net being operated
at the time the Commission Act took
effect, claimed jurisdiction, and af-
ter the matter had been heard wrote
the attorney general as. follows:
"On November z, 1906, a wash
out occurred which took out two
hundred feet of trestle bridge over
the South Santiam. The washed out
portion was rebuilt; on November II,
1906, another washout occurred,
which has not been rebuilt. In con-
sequence the branch line has been
operated from Woodburn to Crab
tree and from Albany via Tallman
to Springfield, and the portion of
the line between Crabtree and Tall
man (about miles) has not been
operated for almost two years past.
I'm the opinion of the Commission
this constitutes a violation of the
railroad laws of the state. You are
therefore requested to bring suit by
mandhmus or otherwise as may be
best calculated to insure full rem
edy to the end that operation over
the whole line may be resumed"
