added the pandects, the institutes and
the novels. These compilations were

Complaints from Business Circles.
The State department plans to make
public its text here later today.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived from American business men and
others that their mailS destined to points
in neutral European countries have been
opehed by the British censors. Steam
ships carrying neutral mails to and from
the United States have been held up by
British warships and taken to British
ports, where practically all mails have
been removed, by the British authorities.
The steamships then have been allowed
to proceed and the mails detained and
examined by the British censors. After
comaIete examination the mails have
been sent forward to their destination.
This has resulted in much delay, and in
some instances confiscation of corre-
spondence.

Frisco Board Was
Sold Out Without
Any knowledge Of It

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-Grand jury

money for the purpose Of influencing ac-
tion for or against granting of permits
for garages" was asked today in a reso-
luton adopted by the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors at the present
boards final meeting. Affidavits. receipts
for money and statements supporting the
alleged charges were said to be in the
possession of Ralph McLeran, chairman
of the fire committee.
Supervisor McLeran in formal state
ment to the board offering the resolution
said the committee has not obtained any
statement from any person to the effect
that money was paid to any member OF
the Board of Supervisors"
The evidence collected, he said, was
gathered at the request of his two coll
leagues on the fire committee the body
which acted on the garage permits.
The San Francisco Board Of Supervisors
was "sold out without knowing It" by
persons collecting money to aid in get
ting garage permits, McLeran declared
today.
Nearly everyone agreed that money had
changed hands-about $50 is a matter of
written record, McLeran said. What the
money was for is a subject of dispute.
McLeran said information Is that it was
to influence the supervisors.
Edward f. Burns. proprietor of a bath
house. said today that he had received
part of a specified $3.50, affidavits con-
cerning which are in McLerans posses
sion. He said it was used legitlmately in
