A GENERAL CONDITION.

1t Is not in this country alone that
the people are Directing to high prices
on the necessuries of life. Frank Dill
bingham, consul general at Coburg,
reports as follows:
During the past five years the cost
of living throughout the empire gen.
orally has increased materially. while
in some parts it has doubled This
increase In numerous instances has
caused privations, especially among the
laboring classes, because the average
wage remains the same as II was when
necessities of life cost 90 per cent
less"
The Socialists of Germany have
taken up the question in the Rrichstag,
and the government is considering the
advisabilty of modifying the restric-
lions on the Importation OF American
meat. to lower the price on that artl-
cle--a measure that. while beneficial
to the German consumer, would Ger
tainly result In higher prices here.

When Formal Documents

Cash Bail Is Set at $4,000, but
Warrant for Supervisor

Daniel E. Blackburn, supervisor of
San Mateo county, was formally in
dicted yesterday afternoon of the crime
of agreeing to receive bribe of
s1.134.5O from Charles s. Marshall of
the H. c. Crocker company. The in
dictment had been voted at the mid
night session of the Jury Yesterday
morning. Presiding Judge Van Nos
trand set the bail in the case at $4,000

same bail under which Blackburn is

warrant are based on similar facts and
charge an offense growing out of the
same transaction.
A bench warrant was issued for
Blackburn, but had not been received
by the sheriff's Office up to the hour
of closing last evening. The police
court warrant will probably be dis
missed by the district attorney, and
the indicted supervisor will have an
opportunity of using his present cash
bail to cover the indictment.
OTHER INDICTMENTS LATER
Surprise was occasioned when the
indictments against Joseph Debenedst-
Fl, former supervisor, Joseph Francis.

supervisor, on the charges of criminal
conspiracy to extort a bribe under sec
tion 182 of the penal code. Assistant

had not yet been prepared. 1t is q
difficult thing to draw up a true bill
in a conspiracy case, and the district
attorneys office will prepare the bills
between now and Monday. The grand
judy meets Monday at IL o'clock.
NO IMMUNITY GRANTED
Coburn is the man who opened up
the whole San Mateo situation this
time, and it was believed that he
would not be indicted, but would be
permitted to give his testimony for the
state and go in peace.
Assistant District Attorney Lane, in
discussing the case, declared yesterday
that the indictment of Coburn after he
had aided the prosecution was a proof
that he had not been granted inn
