The charge against Kens was the sale of pineapple cake containing mouldy apples and With but the faintest trace of pineapple- as a filler. Quoting ProfpRsor K. J.

Grand Jury Indictments Are Likely; Rumors Concede That Certain Public Officials Will 'Be Scored in Annual Report Report to Deal With Gambling Operations in Chinatown and Regulations of Certain Cafes Popular Among Underworld 1 In spit "of the cQnstant rumor that th Grand Jury has discussed tures of the pending report and that one day Jast week the body worked through the lunch hour until 5 o'clock to finish up the work of probing the police department', it is a certainty that further testimony will be taken tomorrow when the Jury reconvenes. Features of the report have been thoroughly discussed by the Jurors and it is conceded that not only will severe criticism be meted out to certain public officials and their acts, but that a possible information, if not Indictment, will be returned. However, District Attorney W. H. L.

Hynes declares that the date of the report is still a matter of speculation because at the last moment other material has been uncovered which the Jurors demand be investigated. The report will deal in no uncertain language with the gambling opera tions of the Chinese, Chief of Police Walter J. Petersen has advised the Jury that Chinatown, which is the quarter between Sixth and Tenth street, from Franklin street east to Alice, is free of any vice and that no gambling is being done there except such as is under cover from the police. While this testimony has been received in the face of several raids and a constant stream of Chinese lottery tickets, the Jury has accepted it with the comment that this quarter Is the constant center of. graft pos- i elbilities and that as a matter of self- protection the police should exhaust every means at hand to keep the lid down.

One sale uncovered was to an attache of one of the best east bay clubs a woman who had Invested several hundred dollars in, the paper and insisted before the Grand Jury that her investment was legitimate, that she believed in the proposition and would purchase more.

She denied that her relations with the pdUcei; department were anything but casual. The Jury, soma of which are members of the club, endeavored on examination to learn how an employee earning, very mall salary could invest so heavily In the securities. This examination failed. ji Foreman Jea'n Polrier and District Attornev Hvnes declare that evferv -of information has been examined by the county body mna that no favors have been shown.

There was about 18 feet of water at thaiTter-head line and at the Bpot where tfe barge is moored, when the TRIBUNE launch made its visit.

Chalmer said that once a channel was dredged It would keep Itself clear without further dredging.

MANY PILES CRIVEN.S Commander A. J. Menocal, second In command at the Goat Island training station, is looking after the testing work for the government. Menocal is of Cuban descent and, it developed during miscel laneous talk with Chalmers, Is a cousin of President Menocal of the Republic of Cuba, In the preliminary test work on the Alameda site 54 piles were driven in an area embracing a nautical square mile, 6000 feet square, which contains under -acres. This Is the size of the site the government wants.

Aftgr these 54 plies were driven they were tested by engineering formula for as to their "safe load In tons." To stand the test without further tests being made to determine the nature of the bottom, each pile had to test a "safe load in tons" of at least 10 tons; Many of the piles tested 32P tQ'tn excess of 60 tons. Out of the 54 piles 8 showed a less test than 10 tons. Host of them were in a group, but one or two elsewhere. Borings are now "betng made on either side of these eight under' test piles definitely to determine the nature of the bottom or foundation. A drill is driven by a 2000-pound piledrlver hammer to a depth of 120 feet.

The material found in the bottom of the pipe shows the nature of the bottom, whether it is mud, rock, clay, or sand, or a mixture. Three borings make an average day's work. At times the ton weight of the plledriver hammer Is sufficient to send the testing pile steadily downward while at other times "piledrlver" blows of the big -hammer are -leeefsary to foroeJ the pipe through hard strata. Sometimes the 120-foot pipe line breaks under the strain of being forced downward or in being withdrawn and several lengths of valuable pipe are lost, HOW. WORK IS DONE.
