NEWS OF THE COUNTIES BORDERING SAN FRANCISCO BAY
DARGIE GROWS RICH
ON 30 YEARS' GRAFT
brand Jury Secures Records
Showing How County Treas
ury Has Been Looted
OAKLAND, May 27. — A record of the
graft of 30 years' duration, which has
enriched "VT. E. Dargie ana impover
ished the county treasury/was laid be
fore the grand jury today,, when a list
»f the useless or overpriced stationery,
stored in the basement-of the hall, of
records was finally submitted. Special
attention has been given the part
played by the. active majority of the
present board of supervisors In adding
to the accumulation of needless sup
plies for the county and, of much
needed cash for Dargie arid his Tribun«.
t.A session of last week sufficed for
he acquisition of data regarding
printed blanks stored in. the basement,
and that of today was. .devoted to re
viewing the county's generous, stock of
leather bound books, which 'Dargie
printed. Full information regarding
the prices paid, the amounts, on hand
end the sequence of ordering the ma
terial is before the grand Jury. There
is also Information regarding tbe price
for which the stuff can be secured in
\he .open market today.- : .Printing
jirlces paid by the county have - b^&n
carefully compared with bids secured,
and the cost of books for which the
county paid Dargie extravagant sums
iias been set in parallel columns, with
the .cost, for which private firms, pur
chase similar books.
Duplicate of stock: "-;. ' ; -
- From this deadly parallel much- of.
the subsequent history of members of
the board of supervisors- will spring,
It is expected, as a result of the grand
jury inquiry, r -.s*^ \u25a0/,":.; i.
A common rejoinder when the over
stock in tbe basement has been .men-,
tioried is, "Oh. that old t stuff down
there was ordered "by county ' clerks
and boards of supervisors that:, had
their day in the SO's and 90's, and the
present county administration has had
nothing to do with it." Much solace
had been derived from this view, as It
-was construed as giving the Mitchell
board of supervisors a clean bill of
health and as setting them up as spot-
Jess. - - - ,
- The grand jury, however, has made a
special point of discovering Just how
much material the present .board has
'- ordered duplicated when?, there .-..was
plenty stored in the dark places* down
stairs. And after determining how.
many instances of this sort occurred
defenders of the existingWregime- will
be further called upon to explajn'.why,
with plenty of material .ib . the. cellar,
more was ordered at rates.far- in cxV
cess of the regular market-price. .>'; V
The question which th^publlc^has
asked for years. "Why hasithe '^ooixty
government been so anxibus__.to throw
;,'clufh"**ito the coffers of DargieT/may
|be answered when Chairman^ -John
Mitchell explains the attitude and;
actions of the present board. V " ,'i
COSTLY REPAIRS O.V DOORS-
The county's collection of high priced,
wooden, unpalnted doors was also a
matter of interest to the grand jury, to
day, *for; Store Keeper Frank Perata
carried a list of their number,"*- kind
and cost along with his memoranda of
books. ; These doors . are ~ used to ; form
voting booths ' at polling places and
have the distinction of costing for re
'palrs twice the figure for which Su
pervisor H. D. Rowe publicly offered
to replace them. new... • V
There are 1.500 doors altogether, and
the board of supervisors- had them re
paired before the general election, of
ISOS at a cost of (6.000. About 55 strap
ping political hirelings were given op
portunities to labor with the doors
prior to the \u25a0 election. They were ap
pointees of Supervisors Mitchell, Hom
er and Kelley, with County Clerk
Cook contributing a. quota. ;- '.\. \ \u25a0 . -
No one was ever "able to detect the
alterations^ in . the doors which .might
be supposed to have resulted from so
lavish an expenditure of money, but
apparently it satisfied the board and
; the bills- were, passed.- ....... \u0084\u25a0 ;
Supervisor Rowe,' the minority mem- ;
; ber, offered/ to furnish new doors 'for
53,000, but, while his lack *"of tact was
painful to the exquisite nature, of. his
i fellow members, they,, stuck 'to ; their
' gUns and manfully spent the J6.000.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
BARRED IN BERKELEY
Free Holders Declare New Char
ter Will Contain No Provision
* for Feminine Vote
..BERKELEY. May 27. — Berkeley
women will not vote in this city if the
new charter which Prof. William Carey
Jones/ President -Wheeler and 12 others
of the' free holders' board are preparing
for modern Berkeley Is accepted by the
people. The free holders' board has a
majority Of Its members in favor of
woman -suffrage, but a constitutional
provision prevents the insertion into
the city charter of Berkeley of a clause
granting, women | the franchise/ accord
ing to the legal view. \u25a0-\u0084<.
Mrs. William Keith, wife of the land
scape artist, and other members of the
local political equality club are disap
pointed over th* view of the .question
taken >y the free holders. ,; -They, have
been quietly campaigning for some time
for the passage of a provision to allow
woman suffrage on the part of the
free holders.. ' They say, however, that
they are not going to give up- the
fight, but will take the matter before
the legislature, and hope to 'have , a
constitutional amendment submitted to
the. people. -
"Authorities differ," said Mrs. Keith
today, "as to the legal rights of mu
nicipalities to make their. own charter
provisions for woman suffrage. . How
ever, we are in the flghf to win. and
will carry the matter to ; the legisla
ture."
"We decided at .the last meeting:. of
the free holders' board," said- Prof. Wil
liam Carey Jones, chairman of ' the
board, "that the constitutional pro
vision regarding the - franchise was
mandatory. So ther,e will be no; pro
vision granting the right for. women to
vote in municipal elections in the new
charter."
.Among the provisions of the new
charter will be one fixing the limit of a
public service corporation franchise to
35 years. \ \u25a0 , ' >;iSS»3Bfcsaffl

today ' adopted a sweeping resolution
calling on the secretary, of the Interior
for i Information - regarding the location
of j railroad rights of way in Alaska. In
connection "-. with its consideration the
house, was thrown \u25a0 into disordex

to speak on: another ; subject.' He was
called to order by Hamilton of Mich
igan, and . the chairman ruled that
Heflin, must confine his remarks to the
resolution. Ignoring the admonition
Heflln continued. his remarks in a low
tone of, voice,' so. that, in fact, only the
stenographers could -hear him. " Major
ity Leader 'Pajmtrcrossed the chamber,
amid the jeers of democrats., and took
a seat directly In -front of Heflln. and
after hearing^ few words renewed the
point made by.Hamitton. By,' this time
the house ? was .'ln ? complete confusion.
The incident was. brought to a close by
the" speaker directing the reporter-riot
to take down Heflln's remarks. *

DIVORCED PARENTS
FIGHT FOR CHILDREN
Albert Sutton Is Accused by
Former Wife of Causing an ;
Estrangement \u0084
There Is trouble between Albert Sut
ton. the well known architect, and
Ethel M. Sutton. who were recently
divorced, about their two \u25a0 children.-
Anna and Alberta, aged 10 and It re
spectively. Under the terms of the>
decree of divorce, which was granted
to the husband \u25a0by Judge Graham «n
the ground of desertion, th* custody of
the children was awarded- their father,
but Mrs. Sutton was given permission
to visit them once every two weeks in
the presence of some person designated
by their father and to take them "out.
Both 'parties bound themselves not to
do anything to create prejudice in the
minds of the children against' the other
parent. . • •
*In a petition filed yesterday to have,
the decree modified to the extent :<ff
awarding, the custody of : the ehtldr«»
to her instead of to the" father. Mrs.
Sutton charges that her- ex-husband
has not kept the compact.' Since. 'the
divorce, she complains, her children
have acted in a cold and unaffection
ate manner, showing the effect of re
straint and fear, and she states their
father has prejudiced them against net*.
Mrs. Sutton avers she is better able to
give proper, care and attention -to th»
children than" their father by reason oC
the fact that business demands a larsc=»
part of his time. She says farther that
she has considerable property, to tehld*
the .children -will -succeed upon'- -her""
death. • " - " *
Mrs. .Sutton also .filed yesterday an
answer, to her -husband's petition that.
he be_ appointed guardian of .the peti
sons and estates; of the "two ' children*;
If the "court- decides thAt a guardian
should be appointed' she asks that It
be not the father, but some third per
son in whom both parents hive 'confi
dence. -The hearing of Sutton's peti
tion for guardianship is set for today,
before Judge Sturteyant.

DR. PIERCES REMEDIES
That our American forests at»Tmd la
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most * eminent medical

tored Indians had discovered ' the usef ul-
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. . This Informa-
1 .tion, imparted freely to the whites, led
' the latter to continue investigations until
j to-day we have a rich assortment of most
. valuable American medicinal roots.
