that Sullivan is drawing salary

JUSTICES CAN'T
GET THEIR PAY

t6y United Press Leased Wire)
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 90
The seven justices of the state SUI
preme court-W. H. Beatty, F. M.
AngellOtt, Lucien Shaw, F. M.
Henshaw, H. A. Melvin, w. G. Lori
gan and M. c. Sloss-have not
drawn their salaries for the past
year, leaving $4,000 idle in the
state treasury. The reason given
for the failure of each member to
receive his $4,000 is because he
cannot make an affidavit that there
is no case before him which has
remained undecided for more than
30 days from the time it was sub
mitted. The bribery case of Abe
Ruef, now on appeal, is believed to
be the obstacle in the way of the
judges getting their pay. In the
meantime the money can be loaned
out at interest by the state treas
urer, thereby earning the state
81 900 to date.

The police commission has de-

whitewashing ex-Acting Chief of
Police Sullivan until after the
charges preferred against John T.

heard by that body. And 1t is also
more than probable that in the
event of the council finding Sulli-
van guilty the commissioners will
forget the purpose Of its recent
farce investigation and bring in a
verdict which will result in the dis
missal of Sullivan from the police
