CAMDEN. S. c.. March II. 1909
Spring Is here and the old gardens are
cleaning with beauty and fragrance amid
frameworks of somber green hedges, the
woods and drives radiant with yellow
jasmine and wild plum, each day more
perfect than the one which preceded it
AS a result Camden's visitors are living
much in the open air, social affairs back
grounded. a special attraction being cross
country riding to Coil Spring for tea.
Another novelty was a polo game be-
tween the stable boys with bicycles for
mounts. Calculated at first as merely an
amusing feature the spirit Of which the
youngsters entered into it and the skill
with which they played. turned attention
toward the final result. Most remarkable
of all was the manner in which the
wheels were handled, the direction gained
with the shots and the small number of
tumbles. only three resulting. Following
the burlesque was the usual polo game
and tea at the Country Club, Mrs David
r. Williams presiding.

hardly likely that the suggestion will

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10.-Disclosures
of startling nature concerning the
relations of Mayor Harper and the
chief of police with the restricted dis
trict, are made in minority report
signed by six members of the grand
jury.
1t is specifically stated that the Of
f1cials were not only aware of viola
tions. but that in the mayors Office
the deal was arranged for the rental
of houses in the district, and which
has been shown to total 100000 an
nually. This is equivalent to charging
profits of crime.
Following the calm caused by the
majority grand jury report, which CEN
sured city officials, but did not in
dict, CONSERVATION was caused by the
appearance of the minority report ad-
dressed to the presiding judge. in
which the mayor and the chief of po-
lice were fayed unmercifully. The
story OF orgies in the red light dis
trict participated in, the minority
charged, by Mayor Harper and a po-
lice commissioner. were made public
in this minority report. The six mem
bers declared they could not conscien-
tious1y sign the majority report.
Minority More Explicit
In the minority report the mayor and
police commissioners were censured for
not enforcing the laws regarding the
red light district, gambling and the
sale of liquor.
The minority went farther and as
serted the mayor and commissioners
were fully aware of these violations
and even participated in them. Rentals
in the red light district in few build
ings were shown to amount to $500, 0OO
minority that the deal for the rental OF
houses in the red light district to be
used for disorderly and unlawful pur-
poses was made with the assistance OF
the mayor and that the deal was made
in his Office at the city hall.
Seek Harper's Recall
The censure by the majority and the
startling accusations by the minority
are expected to have tremendous ef-
feet on the movement now under way
to recall Mayor Harper for alleged pro-
lection of vice and yielding to the die
tation of the Southern Pacific bosses
in the appointment OF commissioners
In the recall petition five grounds are
stated. The first declares Harper in
competent, the second that he has Sc
lected unfit persons for positions OF
trust for personal and political rea-
sons third, that mayor and commits
sioners are interested in promotions
that are under this regulation and con-

laws, and, fifth. that Mayor Harper is

resolution before the senate

it became painfully apparent that
no legislation intended to give to San
Francisco an adequate and independent
water supply was likely to be passed
at this session of congress. This much
was admitted tonight by all of the men
