ELABORATE REPORT
OF A Commission ON
THE CITY CORRUPTION

lions was still free from legislative
scandals. Schmitz was again elected
in 1903 by the aid of Ruef and through
the solidarity of the labor unions.
1t appeared that Ruef began his ca
reer of municipal graft through the
apointive boards in Schmitz' first ad
ministration. The obvious form OF
graft under such conditions would ma
turally be to blackmail and to sell
privileges of an Illicit character to the
underworld. This is KNOWN as police
graft and is common in every neglect
ed city.
RUFF PROPOSED CAR STRIKE.
Not satisfied however, with this re-
resource, it appears from Mr.. Rudolph

(By Prof. J. S. Donaghho, College @
Hawaii, in Thrum's Annually

During the time when the last two
Stuarts were making the political life
Of England exciting, Sir Isaac Newton
was maintaining the interest of its
scientific life by the results of his
struggles with the great problems OF
astronomy. By the year 1880, he had
proved that all the motions of the
planets would follow of necessity, il
they were attracted toward the sun
with a force varying according to a
very simple law. He also proved that
the path of any body moving under the
influence of such an attraction from
the sun must be one of three rather
simple curves.
Acting upon a thought suggested
by the last principle, Edmund HALEY,
a young friend of Newton's, made a
laborious investigation of the paths
pursued by twenty-four comets. He
found that each of them moved in one
Of the three curves, so that their mo-
ton was explained as simply as that of
the planets. Another interesting fact
became evident upon careful study of
his results: Three brilliant comets, re-
corded in 1881, 1907 and 1852, had fol-
lowed substantially the same path, at
intervals of about seventy-five years.
Delving into the records again, he
observed in 1856, 1880 and 1905, max
ing six successive comets, appearing at
intervals of about seventy-hve years,
and three of them known to have fol-
lowed the same path. To HALEY the
most reasonable view seemed to be
that these were not distinct comets,
but Temperatures of the same one,
and he predicted it's return in 1858 or
1859.
HALEY understood that the motion
of the comet would be disturbed by
the attraction of the various planets,
but he could not compute the amount
of the disturbance. Before the pre-
dicted time, however, that problem
was attacked by Clairaut, and with
the assistance of Lalande and Nine.
Lepante, he computed that the comet
would reach the point of its orbit
nearest the sun within a month OF
April 10, 1853. The observed date was
March IL.
The mathematician's pencil has trac-
ed the career of the comet backward,
as we'll as forward, and it has been
identified with recorded comets as far
back as II b. G. One of its note
worthy appearances was in 1866, when
it was seized upon by William the
Conqueror as a good omen for his
projected invasion of England, and as
a result a representation of it appears
in the Bayeux Tapestry. Another ap-
pearance was in 1456, few years after
the fall of Constantinople, and it rous-
ed the fears of all Europe. Christians
tried to see in it the form of a cross,

SAN FRANCISCO GRAFT STORY AND ITS LESSONS

Spreckels that in 1903 Ruef came to
him and proposed tnat, inasmuch as
a large issue of municipal bonds was to
be sold, a good piece of business could
be done by stirring up labor trouble
and discrediting the city at the time
when bids were to be let for the sale.
He proposed a street car strike. Spree
kels then and there made up his mind
to organize a movement to clean out
Ruef and his friends and to organize
the town for good government, and so
told Messrs. Driscoll and Tobin.
FUSION CAMPAIGN.
Next CAME the Democratic and Re-
publican fusion campaign of 1905, at
which time the iniquities of the Sch
mitz-Ruef alliance were thoroughly
ventilated. When the votes were
counted it was found that the fusion
had failed and that Schmitz had again
been reelected. 1t was during this
campaign that Francis J. Heney made
the statement that in the event of
Ruef remaining in power he would re-
turn and see to it that he went to San
Quentin 1t. appears, however that
the courts felt differently. In this cam
paign it was clearly demonstrated that
the Schmitz hold on the laboring peo-
pie had considerably lessened. AS

President HOlcOmb on Prices.
President Holcomb, of the Fruit
Growers Association, refuses to con-
firm any prices which it is rumored
have been received for the recent
sale of the association pool. 1t was
reported yesterday that Spitzenbergs,
extra fancy, were sold at $2.15, and
fancy at $3.50; extra fancy Winesaps
at $1.75 and fancy, $50; $50 and
$3.50 for JOnathans. These figures
were presented to President HOlcomb
by reporter of the Daily World
this morning, and he stated positive
ly that these figures were incorrect
1t is the desire of the association di-

JAPAN CONCLUD-
ING TREATIES
May Decline to Enter Into
Negotiations With the
United States.

Toxic, Oct. 6.-Work has begun
in earnest on the new commercial
treaties which Japan expects to con-
clude before the end of the year
Every power except America is now
engaged in the negotiation of these
treaties.
There is good reason to believe
that when the turn of the United
States comes, if a clause regulating
japanese immigration is insisted
upon Japan will decline to make a
treaty, on the ground that her immi-
grafton is now being satisfactorily
regulated and that so long as this
continues treaty on the subject
would be humiliating.
In England there is much criti-
cism of Japan, it being declared that
Japan's ally receives no advantages
Experts here point out that Japan
must, in self-protection, care for her
export trade, and that the greater
part of that trade is with the United
States and France. Hence it would
be impossible to give any country an
advantage, because this would at
once lay Japan's exports open to the
maximum tariff, where now her ex-
ports enjoy the minimum both in
America and France.
1t is possible that In various cases
no treaties will be made. Some of
the officials who have the matter in
hand here appear not to attach great
importance to commercial treaties.

VIM. Turner, Member of AS
ISOLATION Directors, Talks
Of Organization.

The directors of the Wenatchee
Valley Fruit Growers Association
have positively not given out figures
at which the 400 to 500 carloads of
apples were sold. Efforts have been
made by other dealers to get these
prices, but the members of the board
have positively agreed to keep with
the greatest of secrecy all prices un-
IL after the crop is moved"
This is the statement made by
VIM. Turner last night to the Daily
World
Our reason for this" said Mr.
Turner, lis that the other dealers
may not have club to use over us.
There are certain interests which
would like to disrupt the association,
and if we advertised the fact that
we got $500 for Winesaps, the deal
ers would gladly pay $2O5 or $2.1O
to put us in the hole Growers are
more or less selfish, and if those men
who had pooled their apples with us
found out that outside dealers would
pay 5 cents above the price we re-
ceived, the growers would go back on
their contracts with us and sell their
apples elsewhere We have had eX-
perience of this kind in the past and
that is the reason we are not MAX
ing public the figures at which the
big pool moved.
Cleans Up Entire Holdings.
The board will be in session to-
day closing up some unfinished bust
ness. The crop was handled by the
Gibson Fruit company. We were in
consultation a long time but found
that the Gibson bid more clearly met
cur ideas of what we should get than
the bids of any other concern. The
Gibson Fruit company will job the
apples bought from us. For instance
the company may have sold so cars
in New Orleans, % cars in Pittsburg,
100 cars in Washington, etc. These,
instead of being consigned directly
to the Gibson company in New York,
will be directed to the institutions to
which the Gibson company has sold

The prices received were f. o. b.

ceive a portion of their money just
as soon as the fruit is shipped This
will make it easier on the growers.
They will have money to defray the
cost of marketing their crops imme-
diately after the delivery if their APP
pies.

AUSTRALIA
Southern Continent is De-
veloping and Trade Will
Be Enormous.

London. Oct. 6.-Those who study
the reports continually arriving from
the various cities in Australia and
New Zealand cannot fail to notice
the rapid rate at which these cOun-
tries are developing If fresh evil
dence of the increasing prosperity of
New Zealand and Australia were
necessary, it would be found in the
fact that no fewer than II large
liners have been ordered by some of
the British steamships who deal with
the passenger traffic between Great
Britain and Australia. Two vessels
of $4,000 tons, which are being con-
structed for the Peninsula e Orient
Steam Navigation company, will be
by the SueZ canal route. In addi-
ton to the two vessels, the Malaja
and the Medina, which will be the
largest owned by the company, ten l.
ers have been invited for two more
steamers TO be employed for the Au-
stralian service via the Cape of Good
Hope. The Orient line has also in
creased its fleet of vessels during
the last two years by five steamers
of 5000 tons each, in addition to
which a sixth liner of 1900 tons
is now being built. 1t is expected
that these vessels will be ready about
the middle of 1912.
The Aberdeen White Star line has
also been increased by an addition
al two liners of $4,000 tons each. A
special feature of these vessels will
be that they will be fitted with a
certain number of single berth and
third class cabins. 1t is expected
that the journey between London
and Melbourne will occupy about 40
days In addition to the vessels
above mentioned, vessels will also
be run by the Ocean Steamship COM
pany, one of which, vessel of TO-
600 tons, will carry only first class
passengers, of which she will have
accommodation for 800. Additional
vessels have also been launched for
the New Zealand trade, so that it
can readily be seen that the outlook
for the future of both Australia and
New Zealand is most promising.

Association a Big Factor.

The people of this valley general
ly do not appreciate the work of the
Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers
Association. While it is composed
of only small minority of the
growers of the valley, yet it is the
only bull influence here. BY reason
of the organization of a few of the
growers, controlling probably one
fourth of the output of the Wenat-
chez valley. we have been able to
hold out for higher prices, and in
fact, secured them. | am satisfied
that the prices we have received are
the highest that will be paid in the
valley this year, and organization
has done this. | am satisfied thai

price this year. The giving out of

tend to put this bull influence out

cut down our handling charges. This
