When it became evident that the Grand Jury had voted to indict not only Dalton and Ozkes, but Stedman and Hadley, and had left Daniels out, notwithstanding the fact that he was one of those originally | charged with the crime that the Grand {Jury found existed but fastened upon { others, the stock of the editor began to increase in value. There are many stories afloat. One is that Daniels went before the Grand .ury and testified that he did not get any of th money that was pald on the two chec but that the money was turned over to County Assessor Henry P. Dalton. It is claimed that upon this testimony the in- dictment of Dalton was found. In other words, It is i that Daniels turned State's evidence. IN CLUTCEES OF THE LAW. Whether this be true or not Daniels es- caped indictment. while his friends Dalton | 2nd Oakes fell before the Grand Jury and his two enemies, Stedman and Hadiey, were coupled with them. Danieis’ plea of | ignorance of the transaction seems to have availed him much, while the very | fact that Stedman and Hadley admitted e pass tbe deal upon George Oakes, while | knowledge of it while they denied com- plicity in the fraud, has landed them in the clutches of the law. The parties invoived in the case are not inclined to discuss the matter until the Grand Jury makes its formal report. The Enquirer, however, has an article on the action of the Grand Jury, in which it en- deavors to put the best face on the matter possible, and which statement may be re- garded as official from the Daniels-Dalton a]‘dh“ the trouble. The Enquirer says to- night: One report which has been accepted by many as authentic is that no indictments will be returned, but that a written report will be presented censuring Assessor Dalton for care- lesspess in conmection with orderé for the manufacture of hooks. Still another story of the matter which many believe is the genuine one is that the Grand Jury has not yet taken final action of any kind The glst of this report is that on Thursday afterncon the jurors, for reasons of conveni- ence, directed District Attorney Allén to draw up four or more indictments and bring them to the juryroom at 10 o'clock Saturday morn- ing. The intention was that at that time the jury should take a final vote and decide whether these indictments or any of them should be returned to the court. If this report is to be credited, and it seems plausible as eny, no indictments have been decided upon and no declsive action has been taken. | CARNEGIE LIBRARY WILL BE DEDICATED | Committee of Trustees and Ebell | Ladies Arranges Programme for Monday Night. | OAKLAND, Jime 2.—The dedication of the Carnegle Library building of the Oak- land Free Public Library will be held next Monday evening.

The jury in Judge Melvin's court that was impaneled to try him for insanity declared to-day that he was mentelly ir- responsible when he shot down John J. O’Connor at the little pumping station near Shell Mound on March 31 last. The declsion ‘means that Devine's future homs will be behind high walls, as he 1s never expected to fully recover his reason. David Devine, the murderer's nephew, and David Dillon, his friend, both of whom were section hands under him, tes- tified to-day that Devine harbored a re- sentment against O'Connor that they tricd to_persuade him was purely imag- inary. He would have none of it, how- ever, and swore he would have his ene- my’'s life blood, because he believed him to have broken up his family relations. He talked about it in-his sleep and he talked about it by day. Dr. A. T. Hatch, superintendent of e Btate Lunacy Commission, corroborated the diagnosis of the other physicians who had examined Devine and pro- nounced him insane. From his observa- tions of the man, he said, he belleved him to be suffering from monomania.

EERKELEY, June 27.—The enrollment at the University of Callfornia Summer School, which has been in progress for two days, shows an attendance this year which surpasses any previous session. Although the recorder has not yet re- ceived the full number of registrations, the_ number of applicants for admission so tar has been more than 82. A feature of the attendance at the pres- ent sesston is the large percentage of stu- dents from without the State. Many far Eustern colleges are represented. The fact that Mrs. Stanford will not allow summer sessions to be conducted at Stan- ford University has resuited in the en- rollment of over thirty students from that institution at the California Summer School.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 27. The Republican Congressional Commit- tec of the Third Congressional District degided to-day that there should be but one set of del -ates to both the State and Congressional conventions and that the delegates that were elected to nomi- nate a Congressman from this district should ‘also sit in the State convention and sssist in selecting the general offi- ccrs of the State. This means that Cop< gressmgn Victor H. Metcalf will take 4n interest in more than his own nomination for Congress, and that he will have a de- cided anchor to windward in case any- thing happens in the State convention of which he may decide to take advantage. It means that whoever desixgs any favors at the hands of the delegation from this county must first consult with Vietor H. Metcalf, who is thus made the party leader on this side of the bay. The nomination of Mr. Metcalf for Coi was absolutely assured and the: has been a belief growing that the Con- Bressman might even carry the county against all comers for any other office. There has been much talk within his cwn county that he might enter the lists for Governor, but until the action of the Con- gressxonal Committeée there has never een any indication that the Congress- man looked beyond his seat in the na- tional legislature. Now the politicians are wondering if the Congressman has Cecided to look for State honors. His friends in Oakland say “no,” and the Congressman is in Washington maintain- ing a judicious silence. The Gage men in Alameda County are anxious to see Mr. Metcalf succeed in Congress. They are making an Alameda County campaign for him for a member of the Cabinet, so anxious are they that Mr. Metcalf should remain in Washing- ton. The Pardee men have already declared against a delegation from this county that would nominate both a Congressman 2nd a Governor, for that would force Pardee to go to Metcalf. The touching anxiety of the Pardee men to see Met- calf succeed in his ambitions in Wash- ington is eaualed only by that of the Gage men. But the action of the Congressional Committee in declaring for one delega- tion makes the Congressman master of the situation. and he can now take what he wants himself or force other candi- dates to come to him. - Urder no circumstances can any candl- date take a trading delegation to the Re- publican State Convention from _this t")?l'l(y without the consent of Mr. Met- calf. The question that is now agitation Ala- meda County s whether Mr. Metealf wants that delegation for himself for Governor. AGREEMENT IS REACHED ON NAVAL APPROPRIATION WASHINGTON, June 27.—The conferees on the naval appropriation bill reached | an agreement to-day on all items except that’of building warships in Government yards.

The proposed increase in the medical and pay corps was struck out, it being understood that the naval personnel act would be taken up at the next session and materfally re. vised. The submarine torpedo-boats pro- vision also was struck out. R 3 Irish League Directory Meets. DUBLIN, June 27.—A meeting of ths directory of the United Irish League was held to-day.
