L. Daniels, Convicted of Embezzlement, Sentenced to Serve Two Year Term ——etaa il Probationary methods were applied ! yesterday by Judge Lawlor in the case of S. P. Wetzel, who was convicted on one charge of burglary and pleaded guilty to another charge. He has not yet attained his majority. L. Y. Boyn- ton of the electrical department at the | Joshua Hendy Machine Works offered to give Wetzel employment and the Judge suspended sentence till Novem- ber 18 and ordered him- released on $1000 bonds in each case. The boy’s father, Dr. J. F. Wetzel, and his moth- er were made probationary officers. The defendant entered the room of Frank Turner in the Plymouth Hotel, Bush and Jones streets, on May 5 and the room of A. Abrahamson, pro- ! prietor of the Richelieu Hotel, on May 9. An attempt was also made before Judge Lawlor to obtain probation for Charles L. Daniels, convicted by a jury of felony embezzlemeént. He is 24 years of age. His father, James M. Daniels, a railway man from Texas, of- fered ment. to provide him with employ- Others testified as to his previ- -character. The Judge said on of the defendant’s father was pitiful and if it were possible to apply probationary methods in the case he would do so. He thought the action of the jury in bringing in a verdict of guilty was entitled to the highest commendation. The jurors had done their duty and he would not be found wanting. He denounced the at- tempt of the defense at the trial to | throw the blame upon William Dolge, a fellow clerk of the defendant, who the Judge said had been foully and ;unjustly accused. He sentenced the defendant to serve two years in San Quentin. Daniels, while employed as !a clerk for the Illinois Glass Works, | collected a claim of $98 40 from the Southern Pacific Company and ab- ! sconded with the mopey.

It says that it has decided, after a long and detailed investigation, not to approve the August bills of the F. M. Yorke Company for repairs to bituminous streets. The bills were for an aggregate amount of $6264 20. The report goes into the evidence adduced at the investigation, from which the committee concludes that the maxi- mum output of the kettles used by the company for the month of August was only sufficient to cover 81,000 square feet of bituminous pavement, which, at four cents per square foot, the con- tract price, would amount to $3240, whereas the bills were for almost double that amount. The report also dis- cusses the inadequacy of the supervi- slon of the work and the instructions given to Inspector Boone by Commis- sioners Schmitz and Maestretti to be reasonable in his computations as to surface covered where the depth of the bitumen exceeded 2% inches. The re- port savs: “There is no law that permits a practice of the kind and it is cbvious | that an injustice has been done to the city and to possible bidders, through whose bids the city might profit, there- fore it is necessary for us to condemn it out of hand as intolerable. If the specifications of the contract do not meet with precision the actual condi- tion of affairs, it is the duty of the Board of Public Works to reconstruct those ‘specifications so as to conform with that condition. Obviously the eity is at the mercy of its officers and de- prived of the benefit of fearless com- petition in bidding. Injustice is dealt out to It by the arbitrary exercise of this discretion by the inspector, acting under instructions of higher officials, that everything may work to the profit of the contractor. It is an absolutely inconceivable and fllogical rule even of discretion that gives the contractor ad- ditional compensation for depth in ex- cess of the specifications and makes no deduction from his charge in favor of the city for a surface of less depth than that required by those specifica- tions. ¥ MANY SIGNATURES USED. “No_ supervision is exercised either over Boone’s inspection of the work or over his computations thereof. He af- fixes his O. K. to the bills, which he makes out from his own nverified computations, and the other officials, through whose hands the blills pass, affix their signatures thereto, relying upon his signature. Comment upon such a condition of affairs would be idle. It is eloquent of inefficlency and of opportunity for abuse and imposi- tion, without measure, upon the city. “In closing we think it well to call your attention to the peculiarly infor- mal nature of the award of the con- tract under which these bills are pre- sented. The contract was awarded to F. M. Yorke & Company on July 14, 1904. Mr. Yorke testified that at that time F. M. Yorke & Company was a partnership, consisting of himself and P. M. Gopcevich; that though no for- mal written articles of agreement had been made between them they had an oral understanding for a partnership. The bills are presented by F. M. Yorke & Company, a corporation, which the records show was organized only on July 29, 1904, or some two weeks after the award of the contract.” Mr. Yorke testified that all the stock in this com- pany was held by Gopcevich and him- self and that after the award of the contract they proceeded to purchase their plant. The informality of per- mitting a corporation to perform work under a contract awarde” to a partner- ship is clear. This does not, hcwever, call for anything more than ecriticism and a suggestion to the Board of Public Works that a like informality will not be permitted in the future, “For the reasons given we have con- cluded not to allow these bills of F.
