SYMPATHt WITH CRIME SHOWN BY JURORS fTjHESE arc the members of the Glass jury who do not want I clean government in San Francisco : X George A. Kohn M. C. Samuels Hugo Schussell C. P. Fonda These men gibbet themselves in full view '-of the public as willing to condone bribery and to extend immunity to the bribe giver. There was not, of course, in the mind of any reasonable man, the slightest doubt that Louis tjlass was guilty of bribery. ; His counsel made some paltry pretense that the chain of evidence was not complete, but that was only done to furnish some sort of excuse behind which a man affected with sympathy for bribery and graft might save his face.' E. J. Zimmer, auditor of the telephone company, is. the man who supplied thatvexcuse. If he was not actually concerned : in the commission of crime he becomes by his own act, accessory after the fact With a full knowledge of the nature of: his offense he defies the law and gives aid and comfort to a criminal- Zimmer is every bit as guilty as Glass and should be prosecuted in the same manner. . .•.X^JTK-v It is a most distressing feature of these prosecutions that men who hold positions of apparent respectability in the com munity, men of independent means and a certain standing,. should exhibit themselves in the flight, where Zimmer and these jurors stand. They do not seem to appreciate their own infamy. They would not, we presume, , associate themselves with;- a common thief, but Louis Glass is- no better than suchv and i he is far more .'dan gerous. • . It is : in this social category that they voluntarily (place themselves. Of course, Glass will be tried again, and. before. a jury of honest men he will be convicted. Zimmer, who is equally guilty, will undoubtedly spend a considerable -part of his. time' in- the county jail under sentence for contempt of court. ''.\u25a0:; These men who band together to give aid and comfort to crime may or may not escape the hand, of the law, but one and all they stand before the community as infamous. RETAILERS COMING DOWN TOWN NO better proof can be. adduced of a healthier feeling in mer cantile circles and also of a return' of a sense of security than by noting the . action of the retail merchants.. Before the selection of Dr. Taylor as mayor there Was ' marked reluc tance on the part of some retail' dealers to even consider/ the pos sibility of abandoning their present locations for the downtown district. They put forward the argument that, owing to the unset-; tied political conditions which affected, all classes of business," it .would be unwise on their part to make any change. There was, ; however; a radical change in their opinions when Mayor Taylor was placed in office. Men who had frowned at the idea of moving down town were the foremost in the ranks of those who desired to reopen their places of business in the "-'bid district, arid it may be said with safety that before the expiration of another year the' old retail. section will be firmly established pretty well on the same lines as before the fire. Many of the present stores undoubt edly will be ; ' maintained as branch : establishments. * It is expected - that in the space of twelve months the large retail houses which have begun the erection of buildings will have them completed, and they will naturally attract other stores, -for it is an accepted fact that ladies, who are really the only shoppers in a community, only will make purchases in a locality where the stores . are grouped together. The planning out, then, of- a retail district is a thing to be considered carefully^ for ;it is 'veritably* .the heart of a city,. where life and interest centers, and thus becomes the choicest and the most valuable part of town. How important is the retail district f may be, judged from the fact that the; sum *o£ $3,000,000, which .was sent here; from theVeast to be invested lay John H. Speck, carried the stipulation that it was to be, loaned only to those who intended to build in the retail ;- section of Sari Francisco. The future retail district , promises to excel in the point; of convenience and in the way of modern buildings any' city of the same size. One example can be quoted/ to prove the : truth Vofl this assertion. There . is a building which will be ; finished shortly; in the downtown district to be used as a: piano storey and the "on the; upper floors will be leased 1 only to^thosel persons connected with the profession.- Teachers . of music will be given fa vorabie terms to establish their studios, and the convenience to masters and pupilscan be readily. appreciated. This is merely one example. There rare many 'others show ing that the builders of the future San 7 Francisco: have taken ' into consideration the necessities^^ .The new San Francisco ; wilf be unlike its older contemporaries, ' for it will be built under totally' different which are- noticeable in other/ places will be avoided, and •\u25a0alfppportunt des.ieitgerJri k the;matterpf Ips^tio^byspa^:sayirig,^iirb e^utiii2edi Wc ; willhave every reason to be proud 6f{the^new;Sari:Fran-: nsco.
