TO EXPOSE CORRUPTION
Conditions in San Franoiso Require
Legislative Inquiry.


An important phase Of the outcome
of the Densmore dictaphone report In
connection with the prosecution OF the
Mooney and other bomb cases Is the
decision of the California Law En-
forcement League to undertake to
secure a legislative investigation OF
the whole system OF alleged corrup-
ton In those phases Of San Francis
co.'s municipal affairs against which
grave charges have been made.
/ What is known as the Densmore
dictaphone report writes the San
Francisco correspondent Of the Chris
tan Science Monitor, was based on
an investigation of the San Francis
CO district attorneys office by United
States Director General OF employ
ment John B. Densmore, 1t being al
legged that Mr.. Densmore installed a
dictaphone in the office Of the district
attorney and ,apped telephone wires
leading to that office. The result OF
this investigation was a voluminous
report containing alleged converse
tions revealing what are declared to
be grave Irregularities in the conduct
of the prosecution of the San Fran
cisco Preparedness Day bomb cases
and other matters, which was made to
Mr.. Densmore's SUPERIOR. United
States Secretary of Labor William b.
Wilson.
The San Francisco grand jury has
lust completed its investigation OF the
Densmore charges. The California At
torney-General U. S. Webb, and AS
sistant Attorney General E. B. Power
whose office conducted the investiga-
ton before the grand jury, say that
Secretary Wilson will not allow Mr..
Densmore and his aids to return to
San Francisco and testify before the
grand jury, 1t being pointed out that
the alleged dictaphone records do not
constitute evidence and that nothing
could be done without the presence OF
Mr.. Densmore and those Of his aids
who actually installed the mechanism
and heard the alleged conversations.
The California Law Enforcement
League, according to its executive,
former State Senator Edwin E. Grant
will now endeavor to have the State
begin a thorough investigation. The
league, said Mr.. Grant, had Intended
to ask the Legislature to inquire into
the failure of the District Attorneys
office to enforce the Red Light Abate-
ment Act, but it will now seek to have
the powers Of the commission wide
enough to include matters relating to
tho prosecution Of the bomb cases.
1.-THE idea Is to have this legislative
commission given power to subpoena
and examine witnesses and go into
the whole matter thoroughly. on the
ground that the situation has reached
a stage where the whole State Is
grayely concerned" said Mr.. Grant.
while there will be no opposition In
the legislature to the proposal to start
the cleaning up process. feel that the
new legislature, many members OF
which were elected on prohibition
platforms, will welcome the opportu-
nifty to have the whole matter cleared
up" he said.
The California State Law Enforce
ment league Is a strong organization
whose chief work up to the present
time has been the enforcement Of the
red light abatement act and laws per-
tainiae to tho liquor traffic.

Aul,orous Department

Positive Proof.-One Friday. when
an indianapolis teacher returned to
her room after the usual dismissal,
she was very much amused at two OF
her pupils, who were engaged in con-
yersation, says the News. They were
washing the blackboard. when Charles
who is not quite seven, said to Thorn
ton, who was on the top Of the black
board steps:
.T wish my mother would come
home, Thornton"
"Why, where has she been? I didn't
know she was gone." replied Thornton
who has just passed his eighth birth
day.
"She's gone to grandma's- You
know grandma; we'll she's awful SICK.
Hmm awful sick. Well. my uncle
Elmers awful sick. and I'll bet you
he's sickern your grandma"
mo, stree. My grandma's sickern
anybody In the world"
This was little challenge to Thorn
ton. He Immediately climbed down
from the steps and, getting as close 10
Charles as possible. he began shaking
his finger in his face.
"Lookee here" he began, I'll petcha
any money that my uncle's sickern
your grandmother. What dye bet!
he yelled.
The indignant Charles Strengthened
e%
himself up and said with the most
amusing courage:
"well, won't bet va nothin. IN
deed. my mothed don't low me to bet.
But, anyway, you can't prove tha'
your uncle's sickern my grandma
ct can't, can't II" yelled the excited
Thornton.
At this moment both voices became
very shrill. Both children. were now
In the highest state Of excitement.
We'll, how sick Is your grandma
persisted Thorton.
"Well. she's sickern anybody In the
world" replied Charles.
.Is she sick enough to die?
"Yes, she is, and I'm a-soing TO the
funeral. too, when she dies. cause my
mother says I was, so there.
"Well, I've got va. My uncle's the
sickest, cause he's already died last
night, so there"

Lenine and Trotzky being then at the
height of their power.
Although the world Is willing to

any bank so far. however, under the
Bolsheviki rule is to pay out money to
government departments or factories

1.-THE Bolshevih call themselves
idealists, advanced moralists and altru-
istic economists. But, as matter OF
fact, they have shown themselves to be
wicked despoilers. Their whole policy,
as saw it in daily practical operation,
is to override the majority by force
and mob rule. They are harder on
the old-fashionerd pre-war Socialists
Of Russia than the most despotic aris-
tocracy Of Peter the Greats day.
