SOME SCANDALS OF JUSTICE ENORMOUS SUMS PAID TO PETTY OFFICIALS. Constables and Justices Alone Tax Every Registered Voter One Dollar Per Head. Oakiand Office San Francisco Call, 5 908 Broadway, Oct. 8. | The Grand Jury now in office enjoys tae distinction of having served a longer term than any other Grand Jury in this county. The law requires that two grand juries shall be drawn each year, and as the pres- ent jury was impaneled December 27, 1897, it will soon have to quit, although there is a lot of work which it would like to take up. For several weeks the members have | been trying to reach a final report, but| matters of importance have always pre- | vented it. At present they are delving | into the affairs of Justices and Constables | and some astonishing facts have come to light. A report of all the costs of Con- stables and Jystices in Alameda County for the last fiscal year shows that these petty offices cost the county the enormous sum of $24,386, and this, of course, is inde- pendent of the civil business done by This large amount repre- sents a tax of 1 per head on every voter e name appears in the Great Regis- er. The cost of the four departments of he Superior Court for the same period vas $12477, and some members of the and Jury are outspoken in their opinion hat it is high time some legislative action | cas taken. And yet, in spite of the great amounts paid to these petty officials by the county, there is evidence to show that even the bail money and fines in some instances are not turned into the county treasury Many additional scandals have been lald | before the Grand Jury than those which have been made public through the issu- | ance of indictments and the subsequent trials. In the Justices' Courts of Oakland | and Brooklyn Townships especially much | underhanded and criminal work has come | to light, although great difficulty has been ?x;)gx-ienccd in locating the responsibility or_it. “We are not at all of the grand jurors our work.

Mayor Phelan yesterday vetoed de- mands on the city treasury aggregating $24,625, for lighting the streets in August. His reasons are set forth in the follow- ing communication, which will be present- ed to the Supervisors next Monday: SAN FRANC! ‘0, Oct. 1833, To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco—Gen- flemen: 1 herewith return to you without my approval authorizations Nos. 219 and 220 (sec- ond series) and demands on the Treasury cov- ering the same, drawn in favor of the S Francisco Gas and Electric Company for aggregate sum of $24,625 05, being the first pa; ment under an alleged contract made and tered into between the Board of Supervisors and the lighting company for two years from August 1, 1898, The reason for my objection is_as follows: The contract Itself was vetoed by me on August 5 of this year on the ground that there Was & case pending In court to determine the ghts of the Mutual Electric Light Company Which, it determined in favor of the company, would glve the city and the citizens the benefit of & competitor for public and private light- year and the consumers $100,000, and that case, sub mitted in June last, has not yet been decided. The veto was overridden by the votes of nine members of the Board of Supervisors, includ- Supervisor Roltanzi, whose vote was nec- ry In order to override the veto, and azainst I protested at the time. ' There is a grave question as to his Tight to vote as a member of the Board of Supervisors, because he has accepted and holds a lucrative offi under the United States, as well as an offic of profit under this city and State, which is inhibited by section 20, articls IV of the con- stitution. 1 find this language in Desty’s *‘Con- stitution of California,” page 250: ““The ap- pointment to a second incompatible office is not absolutely void, but the first office 18 ipso facto vacated.” (Biencourt ve. Parker, 27 Texas, 635.) As # further objection I desire to paint out that the contract is illegal, as it should have been let under the provisions of the act of March, 1895. That act requires a ten-day publi- cation and posting of a notice inviting propo- sals and limits the power of the city to let a contract of this kind for more than one year. The Bupervisors in this case gave buc five days' notice and have undertaken to let the contract for two years. Furthermore, the specifications prepared by the Supervisors show internal evidence of a de- sire to suppress competition, which is con- trary to the very letter, purpose and intent of the law. (Santa Rosa Lighting Company vs. Woodward, 119 Cal, page 34.) The city was subdivided Into districts supplied exclusively by one company, and from which all other companies were barred by the rgfusal of the board to grant equal privileses td competitors, who made application in good season, as early as the 10th dey of last April. Bidders were called upon to supply both gas and electric light, whereas there was no possible compe- tition except in the matter of electric light. When, s in the case of San Francisco, mu- nicipalities do not own their own lighting plant, the only protection of the city and the consumers is {n the fullest and freest competl- tion. The act of 1395 and the consolidation act before it have amply provided for this, but you have, without legal authority and against what I belleve to be the public interests, ignored them; and, it you have done %o With an er- roneous idea of your powers and duties, this veto, if it is sustained, will give you an op- portunity to correct your mistake. Respectfully, JAMES D, PHELAN, Mayor. —_—————— Letter From Dewey.

The third match of the season, which was to have been played on the Webster- street ground at Alameda to-day be- tween banks and insurance men and all- comers, will not take place. R. B. Hogue, captain of the all-comers’ team, has been seriously indisposed dur- ing the week and is still too weak to be able to play cricket. J. H. Harbour, J. McLean, A. Price and T. W. G. Wallace being also not d rous of playing, the match has been called off. It is possible that the game may be played next Sunday, which is an_ open date on the schedule of the California Cricket Association, but the interest in the sport seems to have waned so much that this is hardly likely. The visit of the Citrus Colony team from Placer County will revive the cricketers’ enthusiasm for a few days, as the Placer County men are strong players and the representatives of the clubs round San Francisco will be anxious not be defeated on their own round. If, as seems likely, the San lose cricketers come up to this city to play their match against Placer Countf‘. a good town versus county match could be arranged. With the departure of the Citrus Colony men for their own homes cricket for the season of 1888 will be en- tirely over, and nothing more will be heard of the game until April, 1899, One More Pioneer Gone.

Some Important Legislation Is Pro- posed—The Signal Corps Wants Field Appliances—Naval Militiamen to Report. The work of reorganizing the two regi- ments of the Second Brigade particularly, and the other brigades generally, is going on this time in earnest, and the indica- tions are now- that within six weeks the National Guard of California will make a respectable showing. Last Wednesday Governor Budd, commander-in-chief, and Major General Dickinson, division com- mander, who in the absence of Adjutant General Barrett, now in Washington, D. C., comprise the board of location, held a meeting and it was determined to musier in without delay, on application, such bodles of men properly qualified for mili- tary duty in the several brigades as may make application therefor in proper form and number, not exceeding the number of | companies in the brigade now in the volunteer service of the United States. Preterence will be given to localities thac have furnished companies now in the voi- unteer service. it was further determined that all ap- plicants for formation of such new com- panies shall be physically examined ac- cording to the United States army stand- ard, to which standard they must con- form as well as to the laws of the State | ana National Guard as to age, residence and other qualifications. The men who will offer themselves will have to comply with the rules determined upon before their applications shall be considered with a view to mustering them in. Tieutenant Colonel Hansen, surgeon of the staff of Brigadier General Warfield, commanding the Second Brigade, has been detailed to make the phi’!lr‘al ex- amination of the men who will be pre- gented for the companies of the First and Fifth regiments of infantry, and it is ADVERTISEMENTS. SENT FREE T MEN The State Medioal Institute Discovers a Remarkable Remedy for Lost Vigor. ARE SENDING FREE A TRIAL PACKAGE TO ALL WHO WRITE. Free samples of a most remarkable remedy are ll’)r-ing distributed by the State Medical Institute, Fort Wayne, Ind. It cured so many men who had battled for years against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhood that the insti- tute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write. It is a home treatment and all men who suffer with any form of sexual weakne resultis from youthful folly, premature loss o strength and memory, weak back, varico- cele, or emaciation of parts can now cure themselves at home. The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act direct to the desired location, giving strength and development just where .t is needed It cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of misuse of the natural functions and has been an absolute suc- cess in all cases. A request to the State Medical Institute, 193 First National Bank Building, Fort Wayne, Ind., stating that you desire one of their free trial pack- ages will be complied with. The Institute is desirous of reaching that great clas. of men who are unable to leave home to be treated and the free sample will en- able them to see how easy it I8 to be cured of sexual weakness wl the proper remedies are employed. The in- stitute makes no restrictions. Any man who writes will be sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a plain package so that its reciplent need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity.
