Saunders. Walter L. Chrisman, William ]
Phelps, Robert Walker, J. A. Weldo,
Miles Hollister, J. S. Mcckbee, V. B. Wise
and R. McCubbin, says:
'•Upon investigation we found that
Justices' fees nave been char ed by two
different Justices of the Peace, and. in
some ca-es, three for the same case, on
the pica that they had a right to do so on
being called in to sit in the place of each ■
other on trial, and in that way several j
hundred dollars have been illegally drawn j
from the county treasury between three
Justices of the Peace, W. 11. Lnvyer. J. D.
Beggs and I. Herrington, and the Board
oi Supervisors have ordered suit brought
against them for the recover* of said
money. On the advice of the District At
torney suit has been brought against j
J. D. Beggs for that purpose, with the j
stipulation with I. Herrington to abide
ly the decision in that case, and the G.'and
Jury strongly ur es that these suits oe
pushed to :i speedy trial, to the end thai
the public treasury may b» protected in
' the future against such double and treble
Charges."
Under the beading of "Dives, social
evils, opium dens, gambling and lot
teries," this report says:
"Ttie Grand Jusy. by its committee, has I
made investigations sufficient to proT<!
that dives, opium dens, gambling ana lot
teries are conducted, ior a portion of the I
time at least in the city of San Jose, but j
as they com under the head of misde- |
meanors they are not inaictable. The j
only thing we can do is to call the atten- j
tion of the city officials to their existence ]
and urge them to greater diligence in their |
suppression. It is an undeniable fict that j
gambling has been the cause of the down
fall of more men who aie intrusted with
the care and custody of money belonging
to others than any other vice, and it is
generally accompanied by all other j
vices, and should be restricted by all j
lawlul means i nd discouraged by nil the ,
moral influences that can be brought to i
boar against i!.
"Bat we do not think that t*ie interests
of public morals are sub^ervei by con
tinually flaunting the dis:igreeable fact in
the Ural papers, and when the admitted i
responsible managers of these papers, j
called upon to furnish the sources of their j
information that th- facts may be legally |
proven, utterly rtfuse :o do so on the
ground that it would injure their busi- i
ness. Such a course on their part o:ily
serves two purposes. It advertises those
places un.:er the guise of roasting them
and is a guide to the stranger in the town |
and to the uninitiated. [
"So far as the money interests cf the
county are concerned, by far the most
damaging feature of gambling is the !
enormous drain of money from the county
by th? purchase of foreign lottery tickeis !
"When two residents sit down togamb.e
so far as the public is concerned it makes
very little d fference which of them gets |
up with the money, but the money that is
aid for foreign lottery tickets, both to
Chinese and white?, is drawn from the j
county and is gone never to return — or at
leasi the greater part of it — and if the sale j
of those tickets could be stopped entirely j
the county would be a great gainer."
It also contains the following: "We de
sire to ca 1 the attention of th? Board of
Supervisors to ihe fact that they have for i
tome time past been monthly paying out j
of the public treasury the salary and ex- \
pense of maintaining a game warden
whose duties are so limited that said office ;
is of little if any benefit to the taxpayers
of the county, and should be immediately
abolished."
A minority report was tiled by Juror T.
W. Carroll. This report handles the Dis
trict Attorney, the Board of Supervisors
and several of the Justices of the Peace
without mincing words. It recites facts |
that, as already stated in The Call, sub- I
jects three of the Justic?s to indictments ;
and place the office of : the District Attor
ney in a questionable position. It is as
follow- :
To the Hoi-. W. G. Lorizan, Judge of the Su
perior Court of the .'County of Santa Clara,
California: In compliance with the instruc
tions of your Honor wo -beg leave to submit
the following as our report as such Grand
Jurors: We concur with the committee re
ports in all the officials that have been in
vestigate.!, ui'.h the. exception of the ieport
covering the offices of the Lorrd of Supervisors,
District Attorney and Justices of the Peace.
We have made careful and diligent inquiry
into all maiters brought to our notice, and
after due consideration we are compel ed, in |
justice to ourselves and as members of said j
Grand Jury, to positively assert that a most j
infamous state of affairs lias for many years |
past existed In this county, and we are more j
than surprised at the careless manner in j
which the Board of Supervisors and District !
Attorney's office have conducted public !
affairs, and at this time we are unable to find
language sufficiently strong in which to ex
press our condemnation for the negligence i
shown by said Board of Supervisors and the
District Attorney in the discharge of their
respective 'it; les toward the laxpajets of
Santa Cl^ra County.
From the undisputed evidence preset! ted to j
us, there remains no excuse for said official
ne^ii^ence, other lha:i that said officials are
either ignorant of the laws governing them
or that they are prostituting their official
positions at the dictation of political mis
creants.
One of the most scandalous affairs brought
to our notice is the manner in which the
Justices of the Peace of San Jose Township.
Santa Ciara Township and Redwood Township |
have conducted their i fflces for the past two
years (that is as far back as we investigated).
From the evidence presented to us and |
which cannot be disputed, William H. Dwyer, j
a Justice of Jan Jose Township, I. Herrington j
of Santa, Clara Township and J. D. Begg.of j
Redwood Township have a.l three been re
ceiving fees from the county treasury for try
ing the same identical criminal cases, as j
follows :
Dwyer would present a claim for trying*
certain criminal case and the District Attor- |
ney by one of his deputies would indorse the
claim "it-sral" upon its face aad the Board of
Supervisors would allow the fame, and Dwyer
would get the amount from the treasury. L
11 -.Trine ton of Santa Clara Township would
officiate in Dwyer's abser.ee at some stase of
the same proceedings and would also present
a claim to 'he Supervisors, and like Dwyer's
claim tne Di-trict Attorney would indorse the
same bs ••luta." and Ho-rrington would get his
fees rom the county for the aforesaid same
fuse that Dwyer had been paid for. We also
find that the same practices were indulged in
be' ween Beggs and Herrtngton and Beggs and
Dwyer. •
\V nether there was any understanding be
tween the trio mentioned to charge as above
stated we are unable to say, but nevertheless
hundreds of dollars have beet; taken from the
public treasury by this process, and in each
instance we find the claims indorsed by the
District Attorney and allowed by the Board of
Supervisors.
We desire to state that on or about May,
1597, the Board of Supervisors ordered that
the bo< ks of various Justices of the Pence
throughout the county be examined, and yet
we find that only reports have been made au<i I
filid in three instances, which are those of j
Dwyer, B Rgs and Kerrinston, and from the !
reports filed in those cases we positively assert
mat a most infamous state oi uffairs mis been
• r • ■• ii tel-
Why trie Board of Supervisors failed; to pro
.<•■! with the full investigation of the books
f-f a)J the Justices is a surprise to us unless it
yip? b'i that too much infamy may have been
*j,/»wn in the three examined. It seems thai
if.a fj'intd of Supervisors preferred to act con
iiifi 19 Hi* vi iicsoi the general public and
, i -Mil. a lull exposure of the practices in
(#iri#i if» »'/ „i v officials will cause the pub
m it, K,w\*in\\ -i,. i Supervisors for neglect of
(MifOtfitUi <lutlo» a» guardians of the public
"wJiSI „-< v,. It, Uwycr, as Justice of the
I Peace, cnarged $3 each for issuing search war
> rants aud upon examination of the claim we
find that the District Attorney has indorsed
said claim as "legal upon its face," when in
truth said Dwyer was not entitled to receive
any consideration fiom the county for such
services.
And as graua jurors we are perfectly power
less to reason out why it was the District At
torney and Board of Supervisors permitted the
! allowance of the claim?, as a mere examina
| tion of the biJls would have shown they were
i illegal, and said District Attorney must be
' held accountable for their conduct in the
premises.
We find that \V. H. Dwyor as Justice of the
Peacj received and retained in his custody
for months flues and forfeitures collected Dy
him, and we elso rind that said Dwyer has re
ceived as Justice of the Peace certain fines
and forfeitures and still retains the same,
■ and as yet the District Attorney and Board of
Supervisors have faile 1 to take any action to
ward causing said Dwyer to pay into the
county treasury such amounts retained.
Tai.* silence upon tne part of the Board of
Supervisors appears to us to be gross negli
! gence, and we as grand jurors are unable to
proceed in the matter for lack of proper legal
ad vice.
We also find that hundreds of criminal com
plaints have been issued in a few days in t|ie
Justices' courts and many of them have never
been entered upon the dockets. We also fiDd
i tiiat Justice Beircs of Keel wood Township has
actually charged and received from tne
county of Santa Clara $3 apiece for the trial of
persons charged under an ordinance of the City
of San Jose with being drunk, and the District
i Attorney, by his deputy, has indorsed upon
i the claim "Legal upon its face."
This shows me care.ess manner in which
'. public affairs are looked after by the Board of
i Supervisors.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
A second minority report was filed t> y
Grand Jurors M. Uobin, F. Altman, Wal
( ter L Chrismati, C. H. Cropley, John
j Fiannery, Miles Hollister and S. Saun
ders.
A peculiarity about this document is
j that it is signed Chrisnian, Hollister
j and Saunders, who al-o attached their
; signatures to the main report. Whether ;
i they thus tried to trim sail for any wind
i that might blow, or simply did not know
! any better, was cot explained. Their re
port follows:
We dissent from the clause chßrgin? tlio
Board of Supervisors with gross negligence in
j th ■ Disbursement of some of tue funds al-
I lowed to induce immigration, as we believe all
j the funds voted by them were honestly used.
We believe, furthermore, that as the Board
i of Trade is composed of representative busi
; ness men, honestly and earnestly laboring for
! the best interests of the county and is the
recognized headquarters for the distribution
'of facts and information regarding iha
: county, the whole amount of money allowed
could be more profitably .used by that body
than by any other agency.
We afso dissent iroin the recommendation of
the abolition of the oflice of Game Warden,
as we believe such an office is useful in pre
; serving game from indiscriminate slaughter '
aad lor the introduction of game and song
! birds, and food fish in our streams.
I As part of their report they also sub
mitted a list of those county and other
public officials whose bonds had become
insufficient through death or from other
\ causes, and who had failed to file new
j bonds.
The list is as follows: Sheriff J. H.
i Lyndon, Superintendent of the Alms
house W. J. Wolcott; notaries public— X.

JERSEY CITY LOSES
THE SUGAR-HOUSE
| Threat of the American Com
pany Is Now Being Car
ried Out.
Because cf the Increased Water
Rate "ha Works Will B) Trans
ferred to Brooklyn.
i s-ppctal Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK. Nov. 23— The threat of
the American Sujrar Refining Company
to close its large refinery in Jersey Ci!y
because the city authorities broke faith
I with it is being carried out. A* told in
! these dispatcher last night, the company
I agreed to pny $13,000 of the disputed water
I rent, provided the city would sell it water
■at the old rate. This proposition was ac
' cepted by resolution and tbe company
; paid the $IS,OOO. Then, at the instigation
of Mayor Hoos>, the water board refused
to keep its agieement, demanding an in
creased rate.
The company had concluded to close
1 one of its refineries in Brooklyn, but not
i aware of this the Jersey City officials ue
: cla:ed there was no danger that the com
pany wouid shut down thebip refinery in
their c ty for the trifling sum of J3OOO a
year, the difference between the o.d anil
new raies. It is now said the Brooklyn
refinery is to be continued and the Jersey
City one cios?d. Six hundred employes
have already been discharged, and the re
maining 500 will co on Thursday or Fri
aay. Thus over 1000 families will be de
prived of support.
Al' st of tnese men are unskilled Jabor
i ers and many o them are foreigners, al
most entirely ignorant of the English
language. This will be the first time in
j eighteen years that the sugar-house in
j Jersey City has been closed. When in-
I fornird oi this action oi the company
I Mayor Hoos said :
"Jersey City has to buy water at a high
rate, and she cannot afford to sell at a
j los-. The city would inevitably suffer if
water was sold at a lower rate to all its
customers, who have just the same right
I to the reduced rate a* the sujjar-house."

TO COMPETE WITH
THE PACIFIC MAIL
Chilean Steamship Company
Will Run Vessels to San

New Service to Be Instituted by

Year.
Special Dispatch to the Call.
SAN DIKGO, Nov. 23.— The Chilean
Bteamsbip Company, one of the heaviest
corporations in Sou; h America, oOicially
announces that it will extend its service
up the Pacific coast as far as Ban Fran
cisco. An outline of ti-.e company's iilans
is printed in Soui^ American papers. The
company alreacv has con nee ions with
Panama, and wttl extend its service on
January 1 as far north as Acapulco.
It has four steamers that will be devoted
to the run between Acapulco and the
south. Tiiis state of affaire will continue
until December, 1898, when the service
will be e± tended to iSan Francisco. Con»
cessions are to be obtained from all the
Centnl American republics for carrying
the mail-, and, from all indications, the
new competitor o; the Pacific Mail will be
the most formidable it has ever had.
The company intends, if the business
warrants, to institute a two weeks' service
between San Francisco and Valparaiso,
calling at i tie prmciDal ports both way*.
The steamers rtb said to be superior to
those of the Pacific Mail. Nothing is
said rej;ardinu oiatcinK San Die^o a port J
of call, :in<i it i< not likely that this port j
will be included, as the law doe^ not al- j
low foreign stean ers to touch at more j
than one American port on any one trip.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 23. — The main
recitation building at the Naval Academy,
one of the oldest of the croup which form
the institution, was condemned to-day by
a board of inspectors composed of naval
officers, and its use will be immediately
discontinued.
The walls of the structure were found to
be so badly aprune as to render it unsafe.
There are thirteen recitation-rooms
in the building, and its abandon
ment will make it difficult to
the faculty to find room for the
classes htrcofore occupying them. It
may be founu necessary to house some ol
them in private residents until the
building can bo replaci.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23.— Tha Board
of Education lias decided that the investi
gation as to the charges of extortion and
blackmail preferred against one of its
members directly, and a 1 of the members
as originally instituted, was & farce. This
was the conclusion citizens had reached,
and the action the investigating commit
tee took this evening indicates that it
concurred. At any rate the investigation
was commeiicsd anew, as though no testi
mony had ever been taken.
.President Matt us of the board an
nounced that he proposed to satisfy the
public, and he insisted that whatever was
done must be done to the satisfaction of
the general public. This stand of the
president was unexpected nnd startled his
colleagues, who had counted on his aid to
make the investigation niorj or less of a
whitewashing affair.
When the talcin • of " testimony com
menced to-night T. E. Gibbon announced
that he desired to cross-examine witnesses
on behalf and as a representative of the
League for better City Government. There ;
was at first some protest to this, but it was :
finally permitted.
The only witness examined was Profes
sor P. O. Bnnebralce, the late principal of
the Heliman-street School. He testified
that it was a fact well known by teachers
that unless they paid a certain amount' of
money by a certain date they would be
very fiabla t > lose their places.
Tue wine is a blacklist of princi
pal- who were to have been "bled," and,
if they failed to respond, were to have
been dropped "fir cause": W. H. Housh,
principal of the High School; A. W. Plum

Professor Bonebrake's testimony created
a sensation. It was not looKed for, and in
the rush the committee adjourned. It ap-
Dears that the developments thus far
reached a.re only on the surface.
REAL ESTATE

Sales of City Property Con
tinue With Wo Change
in Prices
Dealers Report an Increased
Demand for Tracts of
Country Lands.
It is the same old story in real estate,
many sales at sniali prices and a few large
ones to break the monotony ot the pass
ing weeks. An increase in price is looked
for soon, and one of the best proofs that
such is so is the action of certain dealer*
in country lands taking various excellent
tracts and subdivisions of tracts off the
ma ket, in expectation of a rise in values.
