Recommends That Either the System of Investigation Be Abolished or Laws Amended to Make Results Possible. The Grand Jury met yesterday and finally adjourned after presenting its re- port to Judge Belcher. The report proves to be the most interesting development of 1e entire session. It makes frank confes- on that nothing has been effected in purging the municipal government of the | rottenness that so plainly exists, but the jury finds its excuse in the limitations that are put upon it, and says so with no soft language. It deals at some length with the frauds that were built into the new ferry build- ing, but It also says that it could find no law by which those who profited by them could be punished. It takes up the rank dministration of the School Board, but ain deplores the laxity of the code as excuse and an explanation of the | | | i | an fact that, although over a month of time has been expended, together with hun- | the Board of Supervisors, turned over $64 | dreds of dollars, no indictments have been license fee to Martinelli and on_ the ength of this transactio: opened his oon.

The lingering touch of illness has lent a softening touch to the classic regularity of features, framed in by a mass of dark brown hair, and the large, soulful eyes have the pained look of the repentant sinner or great sufferer. The perilous position of her husband was fully appreciated by the proclaim h would-be suicide. “It is awful,” she repeated over and over again. But, though offered the opportunity to publicly affirm her belief in his inno- cence, she positively refused to make such a statement. “He has been a good husband always,” she declared. *“My health has been poor, and he always took the best care of me.

The report takes up the inheritance tax at length, and the injustice that is done | the County Clerk's office under the pres- ent system of its collection. The tax un- der the present law is paid directly into the treasury and no credit for it is al- lowed the County Clerk. The jury recom- mends that the law be so amended that all inher taxes all be paid first into the office of the County Clerk and there recorded and passed on finally to the Treasurer. In this way the Clerk will be given full credit and the operation of the law greatly expedited. Touching on the Hall of J interminable dels 8 Our attention was called by your Honor to the u varranted and unnecessary delays in the ion of the Hall of Justice.

The peculations of Peter McGlade and o1! ers of his ilk the jury attributes to the luxity of the financial plans of the differ- ent heads of departments and to the long raci.g seison. It suggests that the de- partnients arrunge a plan between them- ves t will make Impossible the suc- ful workirg ot such forgeries as those perpetrated by McGlade, and that :he Beard of Supervisors abolish all horse racing w e bLetting is done. . Retferring to the inefficiency of the code e elation to Grand Jury investiga‘lons The Grand Jury respectfully recommends that the coming Legislature, or the Code Com- | mission now In session, take up this matter ’n d_either amend the ' code so that crimes | | against the municipality by municipal officers can be reached and made punishable through the Grand Jury or abolish the Grand Jury sys- tem, for as it is now the Grand Jury is con- demned by the public for falling to. do that which it is powerless to do, no matter how anxious or how willing, and is held In mock- | ery and contempt by those who should fear it most.

Head of a Magnificent Aggregation of Burnt- Cork Artists. WILLIAM H. WEST. terfield, Beau Brummel and Chauncey Depew of the minstrel stage, has organized an aggregation of burnt cork artists that is destined to eclipse any ambitious effort ever attempted in that line W 383'.32',332',283128282328;‘;.?,2‘.%%E%%R%%%a%%fi%%%fl%%%%’ 8RR &8 nRuRuuLRLN of popular amusement. Mr. West's reputation is world wide and his name alone is sufficient recommendation for any show with which he is associated. He has been in the minstrel business for thirty years and had Primrose for a partner for exactly twenty-seven years and twenty-one days. The advanced ideas, of Mr. West caused a dissolution in the firm which was originally Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West, and by reductions came to be Thatcher, Prim- rose and West, then Primrose and West, until finally the name of West alone now figures at the head of the magnificent enterprise. When seen yesterday in his apartments at the Palace Hotel Mr. West modestly de- clined to make any special claims of superfority for his present company. “The present minstrel company which I am directing,” he said, “was organized at my home in Bensonhurst, on Long Island, on August 12 of this vear. We began our season in Brooklyn and played a five weeks' en- gagement in New York City. We have been eminently successful every- where, but I am particularly desirous of appearing in San Francisco, for this city more than any other is fond of a good minstrel performance, and I am sure it will find its expectations realized in the present instance. I have gathered together the best talent I could find. I have made the singing a special feature—this is something that minstrelsy has lacked for fifteen vears. Such artists as Richard Jose, whose taking of twenty- one high C's in four minutes and twelve seconds while singing the ‘Ave Maria’ from ‘Cavelleria Rusticana’ and eighteen more for an encore stamp his performance as simply marvelous. Clement Stewart, the tenor, has a London reputation and is sure to please. For comedians I have, among others, Carroll Johnson, the prince of black face artists, and Tom Lewls, a protege of the late Luke Schoolcraft, and a corpulent wit. In this presentation I have evolved something that will please the eye as well as the ear, and the result will be a continuation of surprises. My ideas on minstrelsy are what I might term lucky thoughts, but I am happy to state that they have always met with a fair measure of success. We carry all our own scenery and an orchestra of fourteen under the direction of Professor Robert Carmichael. In the olio we present Tro- vollo, a ventriloquist, who works with the novelty of lifelike figures, who walk about the stage, and Freese brothers, who swing no less than thirty- two tambourines jointly at the same time. A special feature will be a spectacular representation of the crew of the battle-ship Maine, with your humble servant as Captain Sigsbee. These spectacles have been my speclalty for and I am sure will appeal to the patriotism as well oyment of the audience.” ILLTAM H.
