SAN FRANCISCO, April "a
few days ago, through the es4fes-
sion of an employee of William ].
Burns, the detective, who. for more
than two years. has been engaged
in the work of stamping out cor
ruptiOn in this city, that he had
been bribed to betray his trust, 10.
was discovered that secret papers,
containing evidence and informa-
ton, gathered in an endeavor to
force rich criminals to pay the PEN
atty of their crime, had been
stolen.
When the loss of those papers
was known, you would have
thought that the American citizens
of this great American city would
have placed themselves solidly be-
hind Heney, that they would have
demanded the punishment of the
guilty person or persons, that they
would have declared that the pros
ecutions must go on until every
rich lawbreaker had gone to trial
and his guilt or innocence estab-
lished beyond a doubt.
They did not.
Why?
If you could be given an oppor-
tunity to speak to each one OF the
voting citizens of San Francisco,
and should ask each one his senti-
ments toward the prosecution OF
grafters. 1t is a conservative esti-
mate that eight out of 10 would
say one Of two things. Either:
"Oh, Calhoun and his gang are
guilty, all right, but Calhoun will
never go to the pen. What's the
use of wasting money? Heney-a
up against it. I'm sick of the graft
prosecution. So is everybody else.
It's hurting business. 1t ought to
be stopped" Or
Pat paid the money, all right.
He couldn't get what he had to
have any other way. 1t was BUSH
ness, that's all. He's no worse,
and maybe lot better, than
Heney. They can't convict CAL
houn. The city's sick and tired OF
Heney and his prosecutions"

A crisis in the grand jury investi-

tion that 1t is understood charged
Judge r. H. Sullivan of the super
Tor court with divulging the secrets
of the grand jury room.
Just as Foreman Davis had got
ten fairly started In the reading of
the citation or accusation, he was
peremptorily ordered to cease the
further reading of the document by
Judge Huneke.
Prosecutor Pugh made vigorous
protest against the order of Judge
Huneke and demanded that the
communication be read in open
court. The court seemed to ignore
the request of the prosecutor and
told the grand jurors that the Ave
superior court judges would take
the matter pat the noon recess
and report to the grand jury at 2
o'clock.
The word had been in circulation
for some time that there has been
a leak in the grand jury proceed
ings whereby information reached
the attorneys for Judge Gordon
soon after anything TRANSFERRED.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Sulli-
van was called before the grand
jury and testified and II Is said that
soon thereafter the attorneys for
Judge Gordon. Nuzum & Nuzum, f.

named brother of Judge Sullivan.

the grand jury room. Judge Sulli-
van was a former law partner of
Nuzum & Nuzum.
Judge Sullivan was before, the
grand jury again this forenoon,
when it is believed the matter of
the leak In the proceedings of yes
terday afternoon were under consid-

the jury In a loud tone of voice
that could be heard on the stairway
leading to the grand jury room, and
from this the nature of the matter
In the communication to the court

today's session of the grand jury
Judge Sullivan stormed and ragged

daring to charge him with causing

Attorney N. Il. Nuzum was seen
near the grand jury room today and
II Is presumed had been called for
the verification Of certain matters
the grand jury desired to know.
Today's episode began with the
filing of the grand jury into Judge
Huneke's court at 1850. BY a

YOUNG WIFE ENDURES
MELONS But OBJECTS
TODRUNKEN REvFLRY
LIVED ON CANTAL0UPES; GETS
DIVORCE
Tells Court When Theatrical Troupe
Stranded Members Of Cast Ended
Farming Experiment in
Grand Debauch

Mrs Lucille Johnson, pretty young
matron of Long Beach, told Judge
James of the superior court yesterday
that cantaloupes as steady diet was
something she could endure, If neces-
sity so ordered, but when other mem
bers of a stranded theatrical troupe to
which she and her husband belonged
became gloriously' drunk, she packed a
suit case with her few belongings and
returned to the protection of her
fathers home, and in due time filed
suit for divorce. A decree was granted.
Mrs. Johnson is a daughter of John
w. Boyd, wealthy property owner of
the beach city. Four years ago she
was married to Albert M. Johnson,
whose generosity in financial matters
before the marriage became extrava-
gance after the wedding took place. He
met with small success In any of his
ventures, said Mrs. Johnson, and finally
Mr.. Boyd started him in business,
dismal failure resulting.
"Then he Joined theatrical troupe,
and 1 went along" said the wife. 1.-THE
party became stranded at Ell Centre,
and we all contributed what money we
could and began raising cantaloupes,
for sale and our own consumption. We
lived in tents, and sometimes the rain
leaked in and made it very disagree
able. We were getting along pretty
well, however, until the night all the
other persons in the party got drunk,
and boarded a train and went back to
my father at Long Beach,"
Mrs. johnson asked for a divorce on
the ground of failure to provide, alleg-
ing that her father had supported her
during her married life. MY husband
is 2S and handsome; everybody likes
him. but he won't work." she concluded.

MYSTIC UNABLE
TO LEAVE JAIL
HIGH PRIEST OF OCCULTISM
REMAINS PRISONER
QUITS IRON WORKS TO BECOME
cLAIRVoYANT
Man Charged with Theft of Goods
Valued at $4,000 Formerly oper-
ated Extensively in Los
Angeles

Unable to summon to his aid the
spirits and other inhabitants of the
unknown who he taught were able to
overcome any earthly obstacle, ana
probably having lost the gift of render
ing himself invisible and passing out
OF the city Jail, where he is confined on
a charge of having stolen jewelry and
goods valued at $4,000 from Mrs. E. L..
Rose of san Francisco, o. r. Arnold,
alias H. Dugan, alias Amer Dutt, and
q dozen different names, is still prls-
oner in the city Jail in default of $500
bonds.
The arrest of Arnold was the result
of months of work on the part of the
police and a search extending over the
country from coast to coast and from
border to border. He was found at the
Louvre apartments at sos East wash
ington street and arrested Friday night
by Detectives Murray and Mccain.
According to the police, Arnold lived
in Los Angeles for a number of years.
Several years ago he was employed by
the Baker iron works and worked in the
shops. Evidently he decided that the
work was too hard, and after a snort
study of psychology, 1t is said, he left
the iron works and branched out as
full-f1edged mystic.
He opened parlors on Spring street,
and, according to the police, prospered.
He obtained the necessary license to
conform with the law, ana clients
thronged his place.
Later according to the police, Arnold
moved from his downtown place and
leased a home on West Thirty-sixth
street. This house was furnished law
ishly. Here Arnold is said to have
made considerable money, and his
crowning feat was de-materializing'
rings. lockets and other articles of his
clients, who were so wrought up over
the mystic teachings that they did not
worry over the disappearance of their
jewels.
Then Arnold, it is said, was seized
with a sudden fancy to travel. Prob
ably the customers in Los Angeles were
not so enthusiastic in the doctrines or
the East Indians and he felt his pow
er slipping away.
He then went to San Francisco and
while there met Mrs. f. L. Rose, wife
of a prominent merchant of that city,
and an intelligent and highly cultured
woman.
Finally Arnold, 1t is alleged, persuad-
ed Mrs Rose to accompany him to IN
Ola for the purpose of studying the an
Gent doctrines from the source in the
old temples in that country. He told
her that she must assist him and Ka-
mara Chadura, a Hindoo, who was
brought into the game, in holding the
seances. Mrs. Rose consented and sent
q quantity of costly furnishings from
her home to Arnold for the purpose of
fitting up a place at Oakland.
So far Mrs. Rose has not appeared
since the arrest of Arnold. The latter
was in consultation with Attorney Ap-
mel whom he retained late Friday
right. and it is thought he will make
q strong effort to secure his release.

Self Poisoning
Constipation
Fills the Blood with Impure
ties and Causes Skin
Diseases

Constipation poisons the body by rem
dering the blood impure. The blood be-
comes simply loaded with all manner
of foreign material or impurities which
are absorbed from the large intestines
and carried to all parts of the system,
causing headache, sallow or muddy"
complexion, and feeling of general
lassitude.
When a continuous constipation is
present the impurities from the colon
or large intestine collect In such i'm
mense quantities that the blood cannot
be cleansed of them, although the
lungs Kidneys and other purifying or
gans are compelled to work overtime in
their effort to eliminate them.
They must be eliminated from the
system in some way or other, however,
for If the accumulation in the blood
continues, they will poison the system
to such an extent as will actually cause
death, through what is known as auto
intoxication, or self-poisoning.
The blood finding itself unable to
eliminate the swiftly accommodating pol
sons through the purifying organs, has
nothing left to do but send them out
through the pores in the form of boils
carbuncles, pimples, blackheads and
other skin eruptionS.
Stuart's Calcium Waters, the princi-
pal ingredient of which is that most
powerful of all blood purifiers calcium
sulphide, acts not only on the blood,
eliminating all impurities therefrom,
but also on the kidneys, liver and in
testines, toning them up so that they
are strengthened and become able to
resume their functions as eliminators,
and to prevent the self-poisoning of the
system.
The constipation is also cured, which
prevents the absorption of impure or
foreign matter into the blood, and as
natural sequence the pimples, boils,
carbuncles, blackheads and other skin
eruptions disappear at once.
Don't make the mistake of attempting
to cure skin diseases by the local appli-
cation of salves, lotions, emollients, etc.
You simply drive the disease from one
point to another, while the real cause,
the impurities in the blood, remains as
bad as ever.
Give the blood a thorough spring
cleaning and renovating through the
use of Stuart's Calcium Waters, and
you will not be annoyed by the presence
of skin eruptions.
Secure a box from your druggist and
rid yourself of self-poisoning constipa-
ton and its consequent blood and skin
disease. Also send us your name and
address and we will forward you trial
package free. Address F. A. Stuart
Co, IFS Stuart bldg, Marshall. Mieh.

money held by Bryson were made by
their attorney, F. E. McGurrin, who
came to Los Angeles several months
