VIII THE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION A Miracle by Which the Precious Life of a Great Grafter Was Spared, and Which Enabled the Regenerators to Inflame Public Sentiment At no time during the Graft Prosecution was the performance allowed to flag. Whenever public interest seemed on the point of drooping something occurred to whip it up. And invariably the something served the purposes of the pro-prosecution press. It was as though some power had contrived a preternaturally ingenious species of drama, --a piece historique, as it were, abounding in desperately conflicting events, sensational effects, picturesque situations, unlooked for rencontres, calculated to ravish the senses, fillip the imagination and keep everybody on the qui vive. The times were incessantly feverish. It was melodrama from beginning to end. Murder was always in the air. Conspiracies to kidnap or kill were of monthly occurrence--in the press, nowhere else. To the defendants were continuously imputed the most fiendish designs, thus justifying repeated admonitions to the public to be ever on the alert lest the complete subversion of government be effected with the suddenness of a bolt from the blue. All of which served to harrow up the souls of the susceptible and inspire them with hatred of the abandoned wretches who had the audacity to persist in fighting for their liberty. Never was this machinery for the firing of public sentiment so active as during the trials of Abraham Ruef. His first trial, after the repudiation of his immunity contract, was begun in April, 1908. The trial of Tirey L. Ford was then in progress before Judge Lawlor. This was the first time that two graft trials ran contemporaneously. Hitherto it was the policy of the prosecution to keep their forces united...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Regenerators a Study of the Graft Prosecution, of San Francisco Dear Sir: Permit me to offer you this little book if for no other purpose than to employ you as a pretext for the writing of a foreword. Though I do not agree with the writers of the long ago that a book rightly comprehended is but a peg on which to hang a preface redolent of the author's charming personality and pal pitant with his life-blood, I feel that not always should a man hazard himself between book covers without an explanation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaias Hellman, a Jewish immigrant, arrived in California in 1859 with very little money in his pocket and his brother Herman by his side. By the time he died, he had effectively transformed Los Angeles into the modern metropolis we see today. In Frances Dinkelspiel's groundbreaking history, the early days of California are seen through the life of a man who started out as a simple store owner only to become California's premier money-man of the late 19th and early 20th century. Growing up as a young immigrant, Hellman quickly learned the use to which "capital" could be put, founding LA's Farmers and Merchants Bank, that city's first successful bank, and transforming Wells Fargo into one of the West's biggest financial institutions. He invested money with Henry Huntington to build trolley lines, lent Edward Doheney the funds that led him to discover California's huge oil reserves, and assisted Harrison Gary Otis in acquiring full ownership of the Los Angeles Times. Hellman led the building of Los Angeles' first synagogue, the Wilshire Boulevard Temple, helped start the University of Southern California and served as Regent of the University of California. His influence, however, was not limited to Los Angeles. He controlled the California wine industry for almost twenty years and, after San Francisco's devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, calmed the financial markets there in order to help that great city rise from the ashes. With all of these accomplishments, Isaias Hellman almost single-handedly brought California into modernity. Ripe with great historical events that filled the early days of California such as the Gold Rush and the San Francisco earthquake, Towers of Gold brings to life the transformation of California from a frontier society whose economy was driven by the barter of hides and exchange of gold dust into a vibrant state with the strongest economy in the nation.

Download or read book A Debonair Scoundrel written by Lately Thomas and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1962, this book tells the flamboyant story of Abe Ruef and San Francisco’s infamous era of graft. In the year 1906, San Francisco was rocked by two calamitous earthquakes. Nature herself was responsible for one; a man named Ruef was responsible for the other. Abraham Ruef (1864-1936), known as Abe Ruef, was a rogue of innumerable refinements. A classical scholar, a wit, a bon vivant, he was also a political boss who not only picked the city’s officials—among them, “Handsome Gene” Schmitz, San Francisco’s “bassoon mayor”—but picked the city’s pockets as well. When he was finally arraigned for graft, Ruef attempted to appoint himself District Attorney to prosecute the case! In A Debonair Scoundrel, Lately Thomas reconstructs the little known but fantastic career and its gaudy, dramatic setting: a city thrown into wild disorder; fighting in the courts reeking with corruption; kidnappings, and flying bullets with overtones of slapstick comedy and suspense. The men who saw to Ruef’s undoing were relics of a bygone West: millionaire Rudolph Spreckels, who tried to reform his own class; Fremont Older, the Evening Bulletin crusading editor—and others, such as Teddy Roosevelt and William Randolph Hearst. Their encounter with Abe Ruef is wittily described by Lately Thomas, author of The Vanishing Evangelist, who has brought his magnificently creative gifts to a book as brilliant and rambunctious as the fabulous era he describes.
