BLUNDERS BADLY
Testimony Implicates Many
More and Indicates Work
for the Grand Jury.
STORY OF PLOT LAID BARE
Ruef to Be Seized and Taken to a
Cabin in Mountains To Be Held
There Till tiro Statute of
Limitations Kxpircs.
fiAN FRANTISCO, Oct. 15. (Special.)
More details concerning the history of the
various kidnaping plots and the under
hand methods of the detectives, tlniKs and
rounders in the employ of Patrick Cal
houn, were developed during a long after
noon Investigation by the grand Jury to
day. K. T. Newsome's account of the des
perate scheme to abduct Abe Ruef
through the' forcible overpowering of his
guard, and of the plan to tuke another
important witness to a miner's cabin in
the mountains, 25 miles from Chtco, was
verified through the testimony of several
witnesses, and evidence was obtained of
more, recent attempts to suborn perjury
in the caso of witnesses called before the
grand jury and to place these witnesses
in hiding outside the jurisdiction of the
authorities.
Calhoun's Hirelings Poorly I'ald.
So tangled has been the skein of in
criminating evidence against Calhoun's
poorly organized and inefficient crowd of
hirelings that the next return of indict
ments Is likely to cause some large gaps
In his working force. The testimony to
day Involved Luther drown, J. C Brown,
A. B. Spencer, James McDonald and Erne
Noon, of the private detective force, and
possibly a chauffeur or two.
The facts concerning the disappear
ance last Saturday of Chauffeur Pete
I'al lander at the time he was wanted
as a witness before the rrand jury wTere
brought out during the afternoon, and
it was shown that Callander's story of
a duck-hunting expedition to Marys
VlUa was merely a fantasy, and that
he was actually registered in an Oak
land hotel under an assumed name
while efforts were being made to And
him, and while those in the secret of
ills whereabouts were denying that
they knew what had become of him.
Moreover, Callander was cornered into
an admission of an attempt on the part
of Luther Brown to cause him to give
false testimony similar in every re
spect to the attempt made by Brown on
Chauffeur Wyman, which i to Brown's
Indictment a week ago..
Miner Tells ot Plot.
y R. Montgomery, the Chico miner,
was the most important witness called
to substantiate Newsome's story of the
plot to kidnap Ruef and another wit
ness early in July. He verified in every
particular Newsome's statement of what
occurred at Chico, and Identified J. C.
Brown as the man he had seen at the
Park Hotel In that place. He said
Newsome had told him that the whole
ihlng was to bo a bluff so far as ac
tually taking the man to his cabin was
concerned, and that he had entered
Into the agreement with this under
standing. L. Westbrook, a clerk at the Park
hotel in Chico, testified to the fact that
on the date given by Newsome, J. C.
rown registered at the Park hotel
under the name of C. J. Morgan, and
that he received a telegram addressed
to C. J. Morgan. C. W. Isaacs, assistant
to General Manager O'Brien of the
Webtern Union Telegraph Company in
this city, produced a duplicate of the
telegram which was sent from Luther
IJrown's ofTice to C. J. Morgan on the
dato mentioned. The telegram as well
as the signature were in cipher.
Only One Witness Disagrees.
-Charles R. Cooper, manager of the
Oxford hotel in this city, produced the
register of his hotel, showing the sig
nature of J. C. Brown under his own
name, and also under the assumed
name. "Mr. Morgan." the signatures of
James McDonald and also that of New
some. James McDonald, who was implicated
by Newsome as one of the principal
conspirators in the early kidnaping
plots, was the one man of all the wit
nesses called who denieu the particu
lars of Newsome's statement, but his
story, which was intended to absolve
him of all blame, was worn and patched
In spots. He asserts that Newcome was
at tile bottom of a conspiracy to injure
him.
According to the evidence developed,
the scheme was to overpower Ruef's
guard, carry Ruef to the waterfront,
take a boat up the Sacramento River
and disembark at Chico, take the pris
oner to a lonely cabin in the mountains
and detain him there until the statute
of limitations should have run against
the indictment.
CHURCH HOSPITALITY.
Experiences of a Stranger Who Goes
Out us a Visitor.
New York Evening Post.
In one of thn popular magazines Miss
Laura A. Smith gives an account of
visits paid by her to some of the prin
cipal Protestant churches of New York.
J lev .object was twufold: First, "to
test the welcome given a stranger in
the average church, to see what was
meant y the invitations 'Strangers
Cordially Welcome'; " second, "to see
how many of the clergymen or the
members of the congregations would,
after tiie services, speak a word of en
couragement or greeting" to her. In
order not to make too dazzling an Im
pression, sho laid aside, as it were, the
uniform of the fashionable world, and
went :is a pialri-clothes woman on her
detective errand. In only four out of
twenty-one churches visited in the
Rorougii of Manhattan was she cour
teously treated or made to feel that she
was welcome. . At several of them she
met with actual rudeness. At one
Kpiscopal church she "did not encoun
ter a friendly glance or smile," nor did
two men and a lady who left when she
3 id', offer her an umbrella, although it
was raining. At a fashionable Baptist
rhuich, possibly because she was "wet
and shabby." she remained unnoticed.
"1 thought," she declares naively, "all
would rush forward and shake my
hand to gather me In." At a well-attended
Presbyterian church, while a
printed programme told her how cour
teous the "iiRheVs" were, she "received
not a nod of recognition, not a smile,
not a passing word." At a Congrega
tional tabernacle, where "the bright
sunyhlne accentuated' her shabby at
tire, no one smiled or spoke to her,
nltliough, as she went out. one woman
took her hand. In some places where
CALHQU
the seats were free and nobody mo
lested her, she still felt aggrieved be
cause she got no welcome from clergy
man, usher or woman.
Every one should sympathize with
Miss Smith and all other strangers,
within our gates who go seeking the
bread of the usher's smiles and words,
and who receive only the stone of back
seats and cold silence. But Rev. Dr.
Akcd Beeraa to have been somewhat
nettled at the account given by this
lady of her reception at the church of
which he Is the minister, and he spoke
In his sermon of Sunday with some
rudeness of her quest after politeness.
He' called her "unpleasant." said she
"rushed 'around like a mad person," and
furthermore Intimated that she was
one of those who are forever telling us
how oad things are, without making
any effort to improve them. For these
accusations. Miss Smith in her narra
tive gives no ground whatever; on the
contrary, she seems to have acted with
civility, and the fact that she wrote
the article proves that she is doing
what she can to correct the evil if
evil It be. Moreover, we think that
Dr. Aked meets her criticism mistaken
ly when he says that she expected too
much and was properly disappointed
for teat is virtually his reply,
ous. It is hoped that Miss Smith may try
her experiment again. She has adminis
tered a sharp. If undeserved, "reproof
Doubtless the next time she goes to
church, even If the day be wet, the pas
tor will shake her hand and ask her to
Sunday dinner, the ushers will Invite her
to the young ladies' sewing society and
the Lookout committee will not let her
leave until her hands are filled with
"leaflets" and "special appeals." In
short, she will be treated almost as well
as If she wore an Easter bonnet.
WIELDS POWER OF MOSES
RABBI WOLMSAY, OF NEW
YORK, IS FAMOUS MAX.
Still Keen at 105, Has 54 Descend
ants, Eats One Meal a Day and
i
Smokes Incessantly.
NEW YORK. Oct. 9. (Special Cor
respondence.) Nltjety-five years ago
Rabbi Barnett Wolnisky, now in his
106th year, saw the broken columns
of Napoleon retreat from Moscow. Last
Sunday night he was present .at the
marriage of his great-granddaughter
and took as keen an interest in the
ceremony as any of his 54 descendants
who were present.
He is a remarkable man, is Rabbi
Wolnisky. perhaps as remarkable as
any resident of this big town, while in
the East Side he wields a power over
his people as great as that exercised
in the days when, the prophets were
supreme and were the absolute rulers
Of their tribes. Sharp-eyed, vigorous,
mentally active, learned In the Tal
mud and all the sacred writings, mas
ter of seven languages, the rabbi, al
though no longer practicing his rab
binical duties, save the performance
of marriages, is the spiritual father to
thousands of the followers of his faith.
He is the Moses of a great faction of
his people in New York, and "is decis
ions draw acclaim for their shrewd
ness even from those who find defeat
in his Judgments.
Born in Kobrine, in the State of
Grodno, Russian Poland, he moved
about with his parents in early youth
and so came to see the ice-beaten regi
ment of the little corporal falling back
from Moscow. Marrying early, he set
tled in Antipole and traded in liquor,
most of his life in Russia being spent
in the wholesale liquor business. He
prospered and 12 children were born
to him and his first wife before he left
Russia for America some 25 years
ago. His wife dying and his business
being destroyed, he and his two sons
sought these shores.
Wolnlsky's business ruin in Antipole
began when Alexander II was assassi
nated in 1881. Alexander III, who was
by nature Inclined to mild . measures,
fell under true influence of the leaders
of the old regime, and in a period of
repression which the activity of the
revolutionists seemed to demand the
Russian soldiery were more aggres
sive than ever.
Cossacks broke Into Wolnlsky's es
tablishment In 1S81, drank all they
could swallow and opened every barrel
in his well-filled cellar. When they
went on their way he was ruined. He
at once determined to leave the coun
try. In the East Side here he was Immedi
ately recognized asa person of extra
ordinary learning ana he was elected
rabbi of the Eldrldge-street Synagogue,!
which place he held for many years,
retiring only two years ago, upon the
death of his second wife. He removed
at that time to the residence of a son,
who lives at 238 Thadford avenue, East
New York, and now lives there.
Wolnlsky's second wife was 22 years
old when, at the age of 65, he married
her. They had 15 children. He has
92 living direct descendants, of whom
54 are in this city or state or in New
Jersey. The others are in Russia; His
descendants have been increasing at a
rate of 12 a year for two or three
years. He knows the name of every
one of them, and never forgets their
birthdays.
He rises every morning at 4 o'clock
and has a few glasses of tea and a
pipeful of Mohoke tobacco, imported
from Russia, for breakfast. He uses
three pipes one for the street, one
for the house and a third for smoking
In bed. This last has a big bowl and
a long stem, the bowl resting on the
floor. He has never been 111. but eight,
years ago was run down while cross
ing Canal street by a Fire Chief's bug
gy. A wheel passed over his ankle,
breaking the bones, and when it healed
that leg was a trifle shorter than the
other, making it necessary to wear on
It a shoe with a very thick sole.
Rabbi Wolnisky is an inveterate
pipe-smoker. He smokes before he
arises in the morning, he smokes all
day and he smokes again before he re
tires for the night. He drinks daily
about 40 glasses of strong tea, and
takes it without milk. Hi drinks
neither water nor liquor, as a rule, and
Indulges In but one meal each day.
This consists of soup, bread and a
little meat, and is eaten at noon.
Steel's Output Climbs Up.
Wall Street Journal.
Here are a few steel mileposts: In 18S0
we were consuming a million tons of
steel, and thought we were doing big
things. Twenty years later the needs
of this country required 14,000,000 tons, and
this year will call for 25,000.000 tons. In
twenty-seven years the country's steel
demands have Increased 23 times. The
railway mileage of. the country alone now
eats up 2.000,000 tons a year, whereas a
quarter of a century ago the annual steel
consumption of the United States for all
uses was only half that amount.

HIS WILL-SET ASIDE
Nelson Morris ' Heirs Ignore
Trust Provision.
DIVIDE ESTATE EQUALLY
Edward Morris Yields After Stub
born Resistance to Demands of
Rest of Family Each of
Five Gets $6,000,000.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15. A JSO.OOO.OOO will
contest that was argued and settled out
of court was disclosed yesterday when
the last testament of Nelson Morris, the
packer, was filed for probate. As the
result of this remarkable situation the
principal provision of the will has befen
nullHi' d Instead of carrying out an ar
rant, ; . t which would have held the
bulk o.r -he estate in trust for at least 15
years. . widow and her four children
will di .".o the property equally among
themselves at once. Instead of $500,000
and an annuity of J15.000 during the njxt
20 years, each ot the five principal heirs
will receive at once JC,000,OoO In cash and
securities.
Furthermore, It became known that bj
fore the will was tiled each of the heirs
secured title to a fifth part of the es
tate. This property was allotted in equal
shares to the widow and the children in
a binding agreement signed by the ex
ecutors of the estate. When tha trust ar
rangement had thus been wiped out the
will was filed.
Ever since Nelson Morris died, n?arly
two months ago, a serious though friend
ly debate over his will has been going on
In the family. On one side, seeking to
ahrosata the trust plan under which they
would not have come into their inher
itance for from 15 to 20 years, were
ranged the widow and three of the
children, Mrs. Maurice L. Rothschild,
Mrs. Henry C. Schwab and Ira Nelson
Morris. On, the other side, peeking to
carry out the provisions of the will un
der which he would have been In control
of the estate, stood Edward Morris, tha
eldest son and the present head of the
Morris Packing Corporation. It was
simply a case of divergence of opinion.
The argument over the disposition of
the packer's millions reached a point
where lawyers were retained by the op
posing factions in the family and a long
drawn-out legal contest was threatened.
Finally Edward Morris met the views of
the rest of the family and an amicable
agreement setting aside the trust plan
and providing for' an immediate division
of the property .was signed by all the
heirs. The business, however, will be con
tinued as at present, with Edward Morris
in control.
BENEFIT FROM FORESTS.
Dalance Now on Right Side West

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 14. "Within three decades
after the first Federal recognition of
forestry, and sixteen years from the
date when the first 'timberland re
serve' was created, there have been
established, in the interest of the whole
people, 150,000,000 acres of National
forests, effectively protected against
fire and trespass, and thrown open on
advantageous terms to the use of the
public." Thus reads the annual review
of forest work in the Yearbook of the
Department of Agriculture.

National life that in some measure
every citizen shares the benefits which

always be the Western industries
which will most proiit from the pres-.
ence of the existing National forests,
upon whose resources mainly wood,
water and range they are largely de
pendent. The Government always
favors settlers and home-buildors and
prior users, both by granting free use
of timber and by encouraging small
sales. The business of the National
forests must increase largely; for so
vast are the resources of timber and
minerals, and the opportunities for
various business enterprises and for
the development of power and irriga
tion, that the utilization of the forests
can be said to have only fairly begun.
- Yielded Profit Last Year.
"Throughout the year marked prog
ress has been made in securing the
most prompt, simple, and precise busi
ness methods, and in bringing the for
est officers In the field and, through
them, the public into closer touch with
the aims of the Government in its for
est policy. On January 1, 1906, the
area of the National forests was 97,
"tlZfiVl acres, and on December 21,
1906, 127.154,371 acres; but the receipts
Increased in greater proportion from
$273,6110 in 1935 to $1,004,185 in 1906.
In addition, 1.300 permittees (near-by
settier3 and ranchmen) were granted
timber free of charge to the value of
$75,000. The progress of National for

Adapts Vtie to Conditions.
"In disposing of timber on the Na
tional forests, every effort has been
made to meet the local conditions in
each forest and in the different' parts of
each forest where the character of the
timber and the market require special
consideration. This has been done, not
only by varying the size of the trees
which are cut under the sales In ac
cordance with the kind of timber and
the situation, but also by supplying
the needs of the people In each vicinity
with the particular kind of timber re
quired by them in their industries.-
"The institution of a chargre for
grazing In the forests, with the adop
tion of regulations to prevent damage
to the range, and with satisfactory al
lotments of territory, both between the
cattle-owners and between individual
owners of the same kind of stock, were
important accomplishments of the year.
"Planting operations are at present
centered in eight nurseries withfn or
near as many different forests. There
are now on hand a total of 6,000,000
seedlings, and 7."0 acres were planted
in the Spring of 1907. Four of the
nurseries have been established long
enough to griw seedlings of size for
planting'. '
Telephone Unes and Roads.
''Better facilities for communication,
through public and private telephone
lines now being constructed and the
improvement of roads, will be of the
greatest assistance in the conduct of
forest business, and especially in the
control of fires. The use of the for
ests by the public will also be stimu
lated by the marking of roads and
trails, giving the direction and dis
tance to the nearest town, ranch or
camping place.
"Tha record Of 1906 has confirmed
the business success of the Govern
ment policy, and thus given encourage

NOT SO RUSTY AFTER ALL
Old French Dredge Doing Good Serv
ice on Canal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. Advices from
Panama say:
By the expenditure of $20,000 for labor
and material an old French ladder or
elevator dredge, which had been lying In
the Rio Grande River, above La Boca, for
more than 20 years, has been restored in
every part so that it is now capable of
excavating 120,000 cubic yards of material
per month, an amount equivalent to that
removed by fou- 95-ton five-yard steam
shovels. This dredge, when in service at
the La Boca entrance of the canal, will do
more work than a modern dipper dredge
costing $102,503."
In reconstructing the dredge all the es
sential parts used were French. These
were round In the jingle or among other
old French plants scattered along the line
of the canal. The three boilers, which
have been installed in place of the two
original, ones, were found in the jungle
near San Pablo, where they had been
lying for more than 20 years. They were
in excellent condition, free from corro
sion, and all bearings and fittings were
in good working order. The two cylin
ders also came from the junrjle, and were

in like excellent condition. Their valves
had to be reset and new rings fitted, oth
erwise they were In as good condition as
when new. The engine, which had re
mained in the hull, was In excellent con
dition, and could not be surpassed by
modern machinery, both as to adjustment
and economy ot operation. The copper
piping on all the machinery Is of very
heavy design, and shows much more care
ful workmanship than Is found in modern
machinery. The remarkable preservation
of this machinery was due in the first
place to the high quality of material
used In construction, and in the second
place to the use of white lead and grease,
which covered the parts and excluded the
air. '
The dredge is of the ladder or elevated
type, similar to the old Scotch dredge A2,
which was reconstructed five years ago
and was out of commission for repairs
less than 40 days during that time.
Another old French dred;re of similar
type is now being reconstructed.

Billions Drop In Stocks.
Wall Street Journal.
Since last December there has been
an average ' fall of prices of stocks
equal to over $40 a share in the case of
railroad shares and of $27 In the case
of industrial shares. Applying this to
the entire capitalization of stocks and
bonds of the railroad and industrial
corporations of the country, and tha
apparent depreciation in prices
amounts to about five billions of dollars.
