NEAR-POL|T|ClANS WOULD USE
BEN GRIFFITH As FIGURE HEAD
Meeting Last Evening Used to Exploit County
Candidates and Magnify Managers

About 100 people-count EN-
I00-assembled sooner or later at
the Auditorium last evening in re-
Spouse to call for republican mass
meeting. Really there are more re-
publicans in this city than that. but
100 is all that showed up in response
to the handful call.
Neither should the meeting be TAX
en- as criterion as to the local popu-
larity of Mr.. Ben Griffith, in whose
honor the meeting was alleged to
have been called.
The meeting might have been more
of success but for two circum-
stances. There were too many at
fractions going on to interest those
who had not tired themselves out at
the fair. Another reason may be
found in the handful call. If some
of the names of expected speakers
had been left off the notice the at
tendance might have been consider
ably augmented.
People in general are not particu-
larly fond of sitting through an hour
of political clap-trap and the more
or less sincere promises of list of

The band blared and doomed its
preliminaries with accuracy and
sprightliness that evoked compli-
ments from the auditors. Then the
stage settings were changed under
the direction of stage manager John
H. Fry and the various notables and
near-notables given seats on the
stage. Among the number were At
torney N. C. Miller. who has been
through the political mill and knows
the roughness of the road; Rev. Eu-

county clerk: John ID. Secor, urbane

platform but the impression on the

TRAGIC DEATH.
Of GIRL IS
PRObEO
BODY EATEN BY ACID
[By Associated Press

San Francisco, Sept. PA wide
spread investigation was begun today
by the police of this city in an effort
to fix the responsibility for the death
of Eva Swan, a young>school teacher
of Paso Robles, whose acid-eaten
body was uncovered last night under
the basement of an unoccupied house
in this city.
Gallons of nitric acid had been
poured upon the body. which had
been crushed into shallow grave
under house in a sparsely-settled
residence district. So carefully had
the burial place been sealed with ce-
ment, however, that the body was
well preserved, instead of being de-
stroyed as the murderers had evident
ly planned.
There is no question as to the
identity of the victim, and all the evil
denee SO far uncovered by the police
tends to substantiate the story of
Ben Gordon, an assistant in DR..
James Grants office. who revealed
the secret tomb to the detectives.
DIR. James Grant. who is held in
detinue and accused by Gordon of
having performed an operation which
resulted in the death of Miss Swan
was questioned at length today. but
refused to discuss the case.
William Saache, who. according to
Gordon, assisted Grant in disposing
OF the body, is believed to be in Port
land. Ore.
Miss Marie Messerschmidt, a
nurse, who was arrested with Dr.
Grant, admitted today that she was
his wife. She said that Grant was
not the real name of the doctor: but
refused to give his true name.
