Suspicious of Graft

At that time, three years ago, Hon
est John" MaeBain, the only member OF
the old board of supervisors not under
suspicion at the present time, objected
strenuously and threatened to have
his fellow members enjoined. Such
action was not taken by MacBain, how
ever, and the taxpayers representa-
tiyes awarded the contract to the
Crocker company if resulting sus-
picions and insinuarions OF graft.

Police Blame Weather

The police trace the increase of crime
to the severity of the winter and the
cessation of traffic out of the city.
Those conditions bring and leave a num-
Der OF the worst class of crooks in the
city. And apparently there is nothing
to deter the criminals from following
their evil bent. There seems. no fear of
the law great enough to stop the prowl-
ings of the footpads.
The city is in the same condition
that existed nearly 20 years ago when
Sydney Bell and other footpads made
nocturnal movements a danger to
every wayfarer.
At that time the reign of crooks was
broken by Superior Judge Wallace, who
adopted the simple expedient of fol-
lowing out the code provisions and
sentencing every convicted fotpad to
the full extent of the law. When the
criminals knew that if captured and
proved guilty they would have to spend
from % years to a life sentence in the
penitentiary, they quit their night
work or left San Francisco for fields
Of less drastic retribution.

Bullock Denies Charges

Bullock has denied these charges
and maintains that Mcclellan made no
such accusations against him when a
member of a previous grand jury of
the county At the same time an in
dependent investigation is being pur-
sued along proper lines by the sleuths
of the present jury.
Since its adjournment Wednesday,
the grand jury has been delving into
various official acts of the supervisors
and sheriff. These Investigations have
been of startling import.
Trade in Saloon Licenses
1t is said that supervisors have
driven a thrifty trade in saloon
licenses, the prices paid being $3.50
and upward Evidence has been OBJ
tanned to show that Supervisor D. E.
Blackburn sold license for saloon
to be located near the Pigeon point
lighthouse over the protest of the peo-
pie Of that community for $500. Those
concerned In the deal will be called be-
fore the jury Wednesday.
The existence of a roadhouse running

situated ut the end of the automobile
boulevard near the old coursing park
is also being looked into. On account
