SANTA ROSA, Jan. 11.—Rev. Monroe H. Alexander, pastor of the Methodist Bpiscopal Church here, in an address last night before a large audience at the “Week of Prayer” services while speak- ing on the subject of “Civic Righteous- ness” created a sensation by declaring that “graft” was prevalant in the Sher- iff’s office of this county. In support of his statement he cited cases where the Sheriff had collected mileage where he had gailed papers to be served by officers in other counties and also for mileage to and from Seattle when he went after a fugitive from justice. He claimed that owing to a @eadening of the higher moral conscience public offi- cials and others took advantage of the taxpayers and charged and collected more for public service than for private ser- vice and saw no wrong in doing so. As the Rev. Mr. Alexander is a Re- publican and Sheriff Frank P. G. Grace of Scnoma County a Democrat, the lat- ter's friends see in the attack consider- able politics. Sheriff Grace declares that the bill for a.service rendered by mail had been approved by the late Judge Thomas Rutledge as a proper and legal charge before it was allowed by the Supervisors and paid, while in the other case there was a question of Interpreta- tion of the laws. Instead of return mileage the District Attorney had al- lowed the bill for expenses incurrecd, which in most cases would be larger than the mileage expense.

FOR MURDER OF THEIR FATHER | UARY 12, 1906. Warned by Block Signal, ~Leap and Save Their Lives ESCAPE IS MIRACULOUS Engineer Manages to Stop and Jump Into Bushes Be- fore Awful Crash Comes WELLS, Nev., Jan. 11.—The Southern Pacific fast mail train, No. 9. carrying California and Oriental mail, a coun- terpart of the same train which met Wwith Jisaster in a wreck at Harney less than a weck ago, was wrecked last night at 7 o'zlock at a siding called Wright, forty miles east of here. The The block signal system in use on the division was all that saved the train crew and mail clerks from death. A westhound freight had stopped at the water tank at Loray. Two box cars and the caboose broke loose from the rear end and started down the heavy grade to Wright siding, three and a half miles away. he fast mail was passing Wright at a high rate of speed, when Jngineer Noble of the mail saw the block signal tower display a red danger signal, indicating that some- thing was on the block. Instantly he stopped. his train in obedience to the warning. 'The fearful rear of the wild cars coming down the grade could be heard, and it was apparent that the ac- cident could not be avoided, and all the trainmen and mail clerks sought safety in the sagebrush. There were none on the train when the crash came. The impact was fearful, but it did not derail the mail train. All the runaway cars, though, were smashed into slivers. The escape of the fast inail from destruction was miraculous. Railroad men state that had not the block sig- nals been working perfectly the train would have been demolished and the crew and clerks kflled.
