POLICE
SCANDAL
IN'FRISCO

ASSOCIATED Press Morning Service.)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S AS a
result of a recent police raid on a
Sausalito poolroom, a scandal in the
police circles of this city appears to be
developing, involving Commissioner
Flannery, placed by Mayor Mccarthy
at the head of the police commission
as it's president. The charge involves
that of promised protection for wire,
tappers on the part of the police. The
investigation Is taking place at San
Rafael, and the testimony is of such
nature that Mayor Mccarthy has
made a hurried return to this city to
consult Flannery.
Yesterday he called at the home Of
the police commissioner, but was
denied admission, Flannery being
seriously i'll.
A dispatch from San Rafael
yesterday states that one Joseph Abb
bot, who had been caught in the Sau-
salito poolroom raid, testified before
the jury that he had been promised
all the protection he and the other
wiretappers required, the promise be-
ing given in person by the chairman
of the police commission of San Fran
cisco.

Templor Ranch Oil
Company

FORTUNES have been MADE re-
Gently in CALIFORNIA OIL by inves-
tors who have had the courage OF
their convictions. To those FAMI-
LIAR with the property of the TEM-
PLoR RANCH OIL CO., this stock
has always been regarded as
SPLENDID INVESTMENT for future
returns.
On account of the LARGE ACRE
AGE controlled by the company, great
increase in production can be obtain
ed at small cost, the PROSPECTS
are PARTICULARLY BRIGHT for
these stockholders.
1t must be born in mind that the
PRESENT PRODUCTION is FROM
only a VERY SMALL PORTION of the
property. With one we'll to each
three acres, there is ROOM on the
Templor Ranch property FOR AT
LEAST 1866 WELLS and a production
that will enable the company to PAY
LARGE DIVIDENDS.
