GRAFT WAS COLOSSAL.
Searching along the track of police
blackmail that led to the murder of
the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, the
states attorney now reports form of
social evil from which colossal graft
is collected. This blackmail. he says,
was obtained from about dozen
houses in this city, each of which paid
from 81, 500 to $4,000 a month for po-
lice protection to the inspectors in
whose districts they were situated.
District Attorney Whitman has learn
ed that these houses paid a rate of
tariff for protection not because of
their great income but protection was
an essential tax TO their existence.
These houses were expensively fur
nished and decorated, and only the
proprietor and few servants lived in
them. Callers were shown a list Of
names of girls who were called upon
to come to the house when wanted.
Opposite the names of these girls
were their ages and the lists in the
hands of the District Attorney show
that the ages OF these girls ranged
from fifteen to eighteen years.
Assistant District Attorney Smith
has been investigating this form of
dfsorderly house graft for several
weeks and the results of his investi-
CATION will produce a sensation.

The soldiers at Forts Barrancas,
Pickens and McRae, who have not re-
ceived any money for the past three
months, will be paid off at Barrancas
tomorrow, according to information
obtained there last night. The money
with which to pay the men for service
during this period is expected to reach
the post by tomorrow morning and
will be distributed among the men.
The reason Of the long delay in Sc
curing the money was the failure of
the army appropriation bill to pass
and meet with the approval of the
president. The senate and house could
not at first agree and delay resulted.
Then the president did not like some
OF the amendments tackled on to the
measure and vetoed it. The bill final
ly passed just before congress ad-
journed and was approved by the
president and the money is now avail
able.
There are four companies Of artil-
lery stationed at the forts and a large
amount will be distributed among the
men tomorrow.
PAY FOR OTHERS.
Employees in other branches of the
government have also been without
their pay for several months and they.
too, will receive their back salaries
within a few days. although most of
the civilian employees have arranged
during the period they were drawing
no money to secure the amount of their
salaries on vouchers advanced them.

Quite lively discussion followed
the Introduction of a resolution by
Alderman Bear at the council meeting
last night, the purpose of the resolu-
ton being to require the water and
gas committee to prepare a budget of
expenses for that department for the
next fiscal year, just as is done by the
other departments Of the city AZ
present. The resolution was finally
adopted.
In introducing the resolution, Alder
man Bear stated that the resolution
emanated from the finance committee.
Alderman Kugleman, who Is chair
man of the water and gas committee,
objected to the resolution and said
that he would fight ii to the end. He
said that the water and gas commit
tee had no objection to the council
knowing exactly what they were doing
all the time and that no expenses were
incurred without the knowledge and
approval Of the council, but that he
was unalterably opposed to turning
over the receipts of the department to
the general fund, as he was convinced
that the finance committee would not
allow the necessary funds to make i'm
provements as they We're being made
at present, should this plan be adopt
ed. Mr.. Kugleman said that if the
proposed plan had been in operation
for the past four years instead of
having a balance of more than $4,000
on hand the committee would have
nothing.
Alderman Concannon spoke in sup
port of the resolution and said that il
the water and gas committee had
s25,00O on hand that it was just that
much of the peoples money boarded
up and that the taxpayers should be
getting the benefit of it.
Others who spoke in support of the
resolution were Aldermen Fisher, De-
Silva and Meyer.
At the close Of the debate a vote
was taken, all of the aldermen present
voting for the resolution except AL
derman Kugleman. who refused to
vote on the question.
