LLSON, Local Forecaster, Temporarily i Charge. 5 BLUME BATTERY CASE BEFORE THE COURT Juge Cabaniss Continues the Hearing Until This Morning. The charge of battery preferred by A. E. Blume, a transfer agent, against Captain John Anderson of the Pacific Malil dock, came up before Judge Ca- baniss yesterday. After argument: the Judge continued the ease until - this morning. At the close of the argument of At- torney Willlam Cannon for the prosecu- tion' and Attorney Maddén for the de- fense the Judge salid: “I am of the opinion that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company does not pos- sess the legal right to exclude any citizen from the whatves that are un- der, its control. 1 doubt, in. fact, whether the Board of Harbor Commis- sioners would not be €xceeding its au- thotity to discriminafe against any citizen or any group of citizens in this connection.” He added, however, that he was open to argument on the point. There was little dispute about the facts. Captain Anderson did not deny that he had forced Blume off the dock on March 8 and had turned him over to a policeman, but he claimed that Blume had no right upon’ the-dock without permission. Blume was a prominent member of J Expressmen's Union, and the union and the steamship com-, pany had been at war for a long time. An ‘attempt was made by Attorney Madden to impugn Blume's character, AND GENERAL brisk ' southerly Attorney Cannon for the union read a decision of the Supreme Court in | which the extent of thé Dower of the absolute control over: the docks md.

Snook sits in his draughty emporium down by the water front and . calmly continues sending supplies to the various city institutions from ' such wholesale houses as may have the goods he needs. The Grand Jury has found that Snook & Co. have taken money from the city for -goods that have never ‘been delivered, and that théy still have contracts providing for the delivery of goods to jafls, hos- pitals and Almshouse, the prices named in‘ which are bélow what these goods can be'bought for at wholesale. The Grand Jury is now having pre- pared its final report, which will. be submitted to Presiding Judge Grahath next Thursday afternoon. In this re- port it will declare that demands for goods never delivered to the jails have been paid for by the city upon the “0. K.” of Curtis, and will censure him and advise the City Attorney to bring a civil suit against the ex-Sheriff and Snook to recover the amount of the al- leged fraudulent charges. Nothing has been embodied in the Grand Jury's report up to date, how- ever, that will help protect the city in future. That body seems to be content with finding that Curtis probably ap- proved bills for supplies he thought his underlings had - received, but that in fact were not delivered. There is no recommendation in the report as yet that the contracts of Snook & Co. be abrogated or that that firm be made to supply the goods the contracts call for. RESPONSIBILITY SHOWN. Assistant District Attorney Harrison, who has been in attendance on the Grand Jury, was asked yesterday whether any step would be taken to prevent the alleged abuses of Snook & 0Go. He said that matter was not up to the District Attorney's office. but that the City Attorney should take the initiative. Asked why the Grand Jury had not recommended that action be taken by the person whose duty it might be he said that that rested with the Grand Jury. The second week that Sheriff O'Neil was in office Snook, evidently depend- ing on some pull he deemed he had, dared even further than he had during the Curtis administration and sent out some four and .a half pound blankets, Instead of the six-pound ones 'his con- tract called for. He aid this despite the fact that the Curtis scandal was at its height. The goods were rejected in hot haste and he bought regulation blankets at $3.75, while his contract was $3.24. Besldes this he sent out groceries far below the contract stand- ard. Some of these were used, there being a shortage at the prisons. It is not thought that Snook will lose any money on any of hls contracts at the hospital, Almshouse or jalls if there is any way to avoid it. The testimony of the last few days at the prison Investigation was made public yesterday. Some of it is.very in- teresting. Rinchey. Riddell, Bnook & Co.’s bookkeeper, when asked whether he cast up the profits of the firm monthly or yearly, said he was “not bookkeeper enough for that.,” but thata man named Schiffer came around once a year and did it. He didn't know where Schiffer could be fouid. Sent down to Snook & Co.'s with a list of questions upon which to look up data he re- turned with answers, but said they had been made by Snook from memory. BLANKET OVERCHARGE SHOWN. Riddell could not show any memo- randum for 283 pairs of blankets paid for as having been delivered at the jalls during the last half of 1905. He denied that any new member had been taken into the firm and swore that E. ‘W. Williams, formerly clerk of the Jus- tice’s Court, was only a clerk there. He said that all blankets were purchased from Levi Strauss & Co. It was shown that only 143 pairs’ had been bought there during the last half of 1905, and that of these only twenty-five were six pounds, the rest being five pounds. He sald at first that when he went to work for the firm on January 1 there were 100 pairs of blankets at its “store,” and then, when uncomfortable figures were produced, sald there might have been many more. He said three sets of books were kept, but then de- clared that he meant three books. Snook gave him all the information for his bookkeeping, he said. Bills admitted by Riddell to have been written by him that were found at the jalls with a tag pinned to them, bearing the words “offset bills,” were produced. Riddell declared he. did not know what these bills were for., and that the tags had been written by W. J. Nixon, formerly a member of the firm, but who died last January. The Grand Jurymen were a( the opinion that words “offset-tags” were in the same handwriting as the bills. It was shown that on July 10 of last year Snook & Co. bought twelve pairs of five-pound blankets from Levl Strauss & Co. and on the same day charged the Jails with twenty-four pairs of six-pound blankets. Expert Waters has found that sev- eral demands passed through all the processes of official approval last year without having been sworn to at the office of the clerk of the Board of Super- visors. He is getting the Grand Jury's report into shape. The Original Little Loulsiana Company Franeiseo.

From the maner in which the committee discussed the matter it was | apparent’ that the Supervisors propose to reject the Bulletin's lower bid and award the contract to the Post. The de- sired object may be attained by reject- ing all bids and inviting new bids, but the manner of procedure remains yet to be decided upen. Election Commiasioner James A. De- | voto, attorney for the Post,’ held that| under the charter the board had the right to reject any or all bids if the interests of the public would be sub- served thereby. Devoto said that he| would present evidence to show that the Bulletin is not a responsible bidder because it had in 1901 entered Into an | alleged corrupt bargain with the Post under a former management whereby the Bulletin recelved from the Post 9 cents per half square under a 29-cent contract in return for refraining from bidding for the official advertising. Thomas Garrett, present publisher of | the Post, testified that James Cosgrave, formerly business manager of the Post, | but now dead, had informed him in 1801 that R. A. Crothers of the Bulletin was recelving a “rake-off” of 9 cents per | square on all city advertising, for which the Post received 29 cents from | the city. Thomas Hickey, attorney for the Bul letin, objected to Devoto’s line of ques. tioning. saying that there seemed to be a disposition on the part of the com- mittee to evade the issue by permitting Irrelevant testimony to be introduced, but his objection was overruled. Eus- tace Cullinan said the Bulletin had reg- ularly put in the lowest bid and he was | prepared to show that the Post did not have the circulation of 8000 required by the charter. HICKEY RAISES IRE. When Hickey remarked that the com- mittee was evidently unfriendly to the Bulletin, Supervisor Rea sald that the object of the inquiry was to determine if the Bulletin had robbed the city and | in that event it was not, coming now | with clean hands to bid for city work. | Huckey charactérized the proceedings as ridiculous and was sharply rebuked by members of the committee. Garrett produced the books contain- ing entries purporting to show that | cash to the amount of $6021.87 was paid by the Post to the Bulletin from May, 1901, to February, 1902, under a head- ing of “Allowance on city work—spe- | clal expense B.” Garrett said Cosgrave had teld him that the amount was the Bulletin's “rake-off.” Devoto suggested that the books of the Bulletin for ‘the corresponding period be produced to corroborate the entries on the Post's books. Garrett said that his conversations with Cosgrave on the subject were held in the presence of Guy Barnham, who owns stock in the Post. Hickey wanted to know the names of the other exist- ing stockholders of the Post, but this is evidently a sore subject with Gar- rett, for he refused to name them, con- tenting himself with saying that he owned a majority of the stock. Cul- linan said it was desired to show that If any of the present stockholders were parties to the alleged fraud then the Post itself is not'a responsible bidder. BIG INCREASE IN BID. Garrett sald his'bid of 35 cents was | an increase of 10 cents over his pres- ent contract and was due to. the iu- creased cost of labor, white paper ana publication expenses and that there was | no. collusion or agreement on his part | to pay anybody a rebate if he received | the award. The committee ordered a notice Is- sued for the appearance of R. A. Croth- ers with the books of the Bulletin this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, when a %oint meeting of the printing and finance committees will be held. Supervisor Gal- lagher sald that if Crothers did not comply with the notice it would be tantamount to a withdrawal of his bid. Cullinan asked that Garrett be required to produce the books of the Post show- ing its circulation and expenses and if he fails to do so that his bid be re- garded as having been abandoned. Su- pervisor Gallagher sald no such order would be made, as the bid of the Bul- letin, as the lowest bidder, against which. charges were flled, was under consideration and after it had been disposed of the charges made against the Post of, not having an 8000 paid cir- culation and of having entered into col- lusion with other publications in the matter of bidding would be then taken up.

WAKE NEW PROPOSAL H— Seek to Reach an Agreement With the Operators as to an Equitable Wage Seale NO COMPROMISE YET Joint Session Is Held but the Members Fail to Make Progress to Desired End INDIANAPOLIS, March 21.—The joint scale committees of the joint conferencs of the coal operators and miners of the central, competitive and southwest dis- triets were in session almost the emtire day, but nothing was accomplished to- ward arriving at an agreement. The opér- ators and miners attending the joint con- ference spent the day amusing them- selves. The committees of both districts will report to their several joint confer- ences as soon as they have reached & definite understanding. Any agreement reached must be ratified by those several the members of which are awaiting the action of their committees. The joint conference of the southwest district named a joint scale committes and took an adjournment pending its ac- tion.
