The Government official who works for the Social Democracy breaks his oath, and we will not tolerate such an official.” Count _von Bulow then accused the Socielists of lacking thoss gqualities which are usually regarded as char- acteristic of the German peo; depth of sentiment, tenderness of | feeling and reverence. agitation, he said, la mor, The Socialistic $ #pirit and hu- withers like a hot simcon and passes like a parching sirocco over the German fatherland. | VON BULOW'S RETORT. !

LOST EVIDENCE CAUSE OF SUIT Supervisors Refuse to Pay W, E. Dutil Value of Father's Watch, Seal and Chain SRR LA C T Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 14. A claim was presented to the Board of Supervisors this morning for $300 as an equivalent for exhibits in a mur- der case tried twenty years ago. The exhibits -have disappeared. The bill was presented by W. E. Dutil, the father of whom was murdered by George Jones, whose long incarceration in the County Jail here made the case famous and was only ended a few weeks ago by the murderer's death after fighting off paying the extreme penalty of his crime for two decadés. Shortly after Jones' death young Dutil went before Judge Hall and se- cured an order for his father's watch | and chain, seal and ring. They were found in Jones' possession after the murder and were used as evidence | against the accused. Jones was grant- ed a new frial, but the case dragged along until death expunged it from the calendar. After securing the order for the property Dutil went from County Clerk to District Attorney and Chief of Po- lice in a vain quest, but no trace of jewelry has disappeared. County Clerk Cook said to-day that there have been fourteen County Clerks since the trial of the case and there is no trace left of the articles. 2 Now Dutil has presented a bill to the Supervisors, which they have re- fused to pass. Dutil will institute suit to recover the sum involved. ————————— — Granted Divorces. OAKLAND, Dec. 14.—Decrees of divorce were granted to Addie Ather- ton from A. D.
