S. Mcckbee, V. B. Wise and R. McCubbin, says: investigation we found that Justices' fees nave been char ed by two different Justices of the Peace, and.

in some ca-es, three for the same case, on the pica that they had a right to do so on being called in to sit in the place of each other on trial, and in that way several hundred dollars have been illegally drawn from the county treasury between three Justices of the Peace, W. 11. Lnvyer. J. D.

Beggs and I. Herrington, and the Board oi Supervisors have ordered suit brought against them for the of said money. On the advice of the District Attorney suit has been brought against J. D. Beggs for that purpose, with the stipulation with I.

Herrington to abide ly the decision in that case, and the Jury strongly ur es that these suits oe pushed to speedy trial, to the end thai the public treasury may protected in the future against such double and treble Charges." Under the beading of "Dives, social evils, opium dens, gambling and lotteries," this report says: "Ttie Grand Jusy. by its committee, has I made investigations sufficient to that dives, opium dens, gambling ana lotteries are conducted, ior a portion of the I time at least in the city of San Jose, but as they com under the head of misde- meanors they are not inaictable. The only thing we can do is to call the atten- tion of the city officials to their existence and urge them to greater diligence in their suppression. It is an undeniable fict that gambling has been the cause of the downfall of more men who aie intrusted with the care and custody of money belonging to others than any other vice, and it is generally accompanied by all other vices, and should be restricted by all lawlul means i nd discouraged by nil the moral influences that can be brought to i boar against "Bat we do not think that interests of public morals are by continually flaunting the fact in the Ural papers, and when the admitted i responsible managers of these papers, called upon to furnish the sources of their information that th- facts may be legally proven, utterly rtfuse do so on the ground that it would injure their busi- i ness. Such a course on their part serves two purposes.

It advertises those places the guise of roasting them and is a guide to the stranger in the town and to the uninitiated. "So far as the money interests cf the county are concerned, by far the most damaging feature of gambling is the enormous drain of money from the county by th? purchase of foreign lottery tickeis "When two residents sit down togamb.e so far as the public is concerned it makes very little fference which of them gets up with the money, but the money that is aid for foreign lottery tickets, both to Chinese and is drawn from the county and is gone never to return or at leasi the greater part of it and if the sale of those tickets could be stopped entirely the county would be a great gainer." It also contains the following: "We desire to ca 1 the attention of th? Board of Supervisors to ihe fact that they have for i tome time past been monthly paying out of the public treasury the salary and ex- pense of maintaining a game warden whose duties are so limited that said office is of little if any benefit to the taxpayers of the county, and should be immediately abolished." A minority report was tiled by Juror T. W. Carroll. This report handles the District Attorney, the Board of Supervisors and several of the Justices of the Peace without mincing words.

It recites facts that, as already stated in The Call, sub- I jects three of the to indictments and place the office of the District Attorney in a questionable position. It is as follow- To the Hoi-. W. G. Lorizan, Judge of the Superior Court of the of Santa Clara, California: In compliance with the instructions of your Honor wo -beg leave to submit the following as our report as such Grand Jurors: We concur with the committee reports in all the officials that have been the.

exception of the ieport covering the offices of the Lorrd of Supervisors, District Attorney and Justices of the Peace. We have made careful and diligent inquiry into all maiters brought to our notice, and after due consideration we are compel ed, in justice to ourselves and as members of said Grand Jury, to positively assert that a most infamous state of affairs lias for many years past existed In this county, and we are more than surprised at the careless manner in which the Board of Supervisors and District Attorney's office have conducted public affairs, and at this time we are unable to find language sufficiently strong in which to express our condemnation for the negligence i shown by said Board of Supervisors and the District Attorney in the discharge of their respective 'it; les toward the laxpajets of Santa County. From the undisputed evidence preset! ted to us, there remains no excuse for said official other that said officials are either ignorant of the laws governing them or that they are prostituting their official positions at the dictation of political miscreants. One of the most scandalous affairs brought to our notice is the manner in which the Justices of the Peace of San Jose Township. Santa Ciara Township and Redwood Township have conducted their i fflces for the past two years (that is as far back as we investigated).

From the evidence presented to us and which cannot be disputed, William H. Dwyer, a Justice of Jan Jose Township, I. Herrington of Santa, Clara Township and J. D. Begg.of Redwood Township have a.l three been receiving fees from the county treasury for trying the same identical criminal cases, as follows Dwyer would present a claim for certain criminal case and the District Attor- ney by one of his deputies would indorse the claim "it-sral" upon its face aad the Board of Supervisors would allow the fame, and Dwyer would get the amount from the treasury.

11 ton of Santa Clara Township would officiate in Dwyer's abser.ee at some stase of the same proceedings and would also present a claim to 'he Supervisors, and like Dwyer's claim tne Di-trict Attorney would indorse the same bs and Ho-rrington would get his fees rom the county for the aforesaid same fuse that Dwyer had been paid for. We also find that the same practices were indulged in be' ween Beggs and Herrtngton and Beggs and Dwyer. nether there was any understanding between the trio mentioned to charge as above stated we are unable to say, but nevertheless hundreds of dollars have beet; taken from the public treasury by this process, and in each instance we find the claims indorsed by the District Attorney and allowed by the Board of Supervisors. We desire to state that on or about May, 1597, the Board of Supervisors ordered that the ks of various Justices of the Pence throughout the county be examined, and yet we find that only reports have been made I filid in three instances, which are those of Dwyer, Rgs and Kerrinston, and from the reports filed in those cases we positively assert mat a most infamous state oi uffairs mis been ii tel- Why trie Board of Supervisors failed; to with the full investigation of the books f-f a)J the Justices is a surprise to us unless it yip? b'i that too much infamy may have been in the three examined. It seems thai if.a fj'intd of Supervisors preferred to act coniiifi 19 vi iicsoi the general public and i -Mil.

a lull exposure of the practices officials will cause the pubm it, i Supervisors for neglect of (MifOtfitUi guardians of the public "wJiSI It, Uwycr, as Justice of the I Peace, cnarged $3 each for issuing search rants aud upon examination of the claim we find that the District Attorney has indorsed said claim as "legal upon its face," when in truth said Dwyer was not entitled to receive any consideration fiom the county for such services. And as graua jurors we are perfectly powerless to reason out why it was the District Attorney and Board of Supervisors permitted the allowance of the as a mere tion of the biJls would have shown they were i illegal, and said District Attorney must be held accountable for their conduct in the premises. We find that H. Dwyor as Justice of the Peacj received and retained in his custody for months flues and forfeitures collected Dy him, and we elso rind that said Dwyer has received as Justice of the Peace certain fines and forfeitures and still retains the same, and as yet the District Attorney and Board of Supervisors have faile 1 to take any action toward causing said Dwyer to pay into the county treasury such amounts retained. silence upon tne part of the Board of Supervisors appears to us to be gross negli! gence, and we as grand jurors are unable to proceed in the matter for lack of proper legal ad vice.

We also find that hundreds of criminal complaints have been issued in a few days in Justices' courts and many of them have never been entered upon the dockets. We also fiDd i tiiat Justice Beircs of Keel wood Township has actually charged and received from tne county of Santa Clara $3 apiece for the trial of persons charged under an ordinance of the City of San Jose with being drunk, and the District i Attorney, by his deputy, has indorsed upon i the claim "Legal upon its face." This shows me care.ess manner in which public affairs are looked after by the Board of i Supervisors. All of which is respectfully submitted. A second minority report was filed Grand Jurors M. Uobin, F.

Altman, Wal( ter Chrismati, C. H. Cropley, John Fiannery, Miles Hollister and S. Saunders. A peculiarity about this document is that it is signed Chrisnian, Hollister and Saunders, who al-o attached their signatures to the main report.

Whether i they thus tried to trim sail for any wind i that might blow, or simply did not know any better, was cot explained. Their report follows: We dissent from the clause tlio Board of Supervisors with gross negligence in th Disbursement of some of tue funds al- I lowed to induce immigration, as we believe all the funds voted by them were honestly used. We believe, furthermore, that as the Board i of Trade is composed of representative busi; ness men, honestly and earnestly laboring for the best interests of the county and is the recognized headquarters for the distribution 'of facts and information regarding iha county, the whole amount of money allowed could be more profitably by that body than by any other agency. We afso dissent iroin the recommendation of the abolition of the oflice of Game Warden, as we believe such an office is useful in pre; serving game from indiscriminate slaughter aad lor the introduction of game and song birds, and food fish in our streams. I As part of their report they also submitted a list of those county and other public officials whose bonds had become insufficient through death or from other causes, and who had failed to file new bonds.

The list is as follows: Sheriff J. H. i Lyndon, Superintendent of the Almshouse W. J. Wolcott; notaries X.

The Chilean Bteamsbip Company, one of the heaviest corporations in Sou; America, oOicially announces that it will extend its service up the Pacific coast as far as Ban Francisco. An outline of company's iilans is printed in American papers. The company alreacv has con nee ions with Panama, and wttl extend its service on January 1 as far north as Acapulco.

Accused Directors Said to Have Maintained a Blacklist List Of Principals Who Were to Be Ousted If They Did Not Contribute. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Nov. Tha Board of Education lias decided that the investigation as to the charges of extortion and blackmail preferred against one of its members directly, and a 1 of the members as originally instituted, was farce. This was the conclusion citizens had reached, and the action the investigating committee took this evening indicates that it concurred.

At any rate the investigation was commeiicsd anew, as though no testimony had ever been taken. Matt us of the board announced that he proposed to satisfy the public, and he insisted that whatever was done must be done to the satisfaction of the general public. This stand of the president was unexpected nnd startled his colleagues, who had counted on his aid to make the investigation niorj or less of a whitewashing affair. When the talcin of testimony commenced to-night T. E.

Gibbon announced that he desired to cross-examine witnesses on behalf and as a representative of the League for better City Government. There was at first some protest to this, but it was finally permitted. The only witness examined was Professor P. O. Bnnebralce, the late principal of the Heliman-street School.

He testified that it was a fact well known by teachers that unless they paid a certain amount' of money by a certain date they would be very fiabla lose their places. Tue wine is a blacklist of principal who were to have been "bled," and, if they failed to respond, were to have been dropped "fir W. H. Housh, principal of the High School; A. W.
