WANTS HIS BAIL REDUCED Jtuef Thinks 91,1 IS. 000 Too Much, hays 37 Duplicate Indictments Asraliist Him At Present Kate Trial Would Last 116 Years. SAN FRANCISCO. March 20. Abe l;uef, lndtotrd on 11 counts, thinks the um of 1, 115.000 is too much bail, and pays there are 37 counts against him imi which the bail is ;i;0.00, of whfch lie should be relieved, nd that the bail on the remaining ro'ivlus Is excessive. Kuef was in court on a writ of habeas corpus. Assistant 'District Attorney Heney presented an affidavit stating that Iluef was wealthy, and that he believed there was a conspiracy to jret Ruef out of the country. He cited the attempt ed kidnaping of James L. Gallagher, on whose testimony he said Ruef would be convicted, and also the attempted kidnaping of ex-Supervisor Ixmergan, Just before Ihe Tirey L. Ford trial. When asked for a list of the dupli cate indictments by the court, Heney said: "We concede there are many. We do not Intend to file any list of any kind upon behalf of the District Attorney's tfnoe." f t'onrt Wants List Filed. "The Diatriit Attorney Is an officer of this court and should assist it," replied J'jdge Cooper. Turning to Murphy. Ituef's associate counsel, the judge said: "If the District Attorney refuses to make out a list for this court, you can file one, and if it is not oontradlcted. we will consider that it is a correct one." Heney then explained that he meant no disrespect to the court, but that It was merely a question of law which caused the District Attorney to take that attitude. Assistant District Attorney Heney. in his arrument against a reduction of bail, which he contended was not ex rcssive in Kuefs case, argued that the object of the law was to Insure certainty of punishment, not severity: that the prefumptlon of innocence until proved guilty shi a "Action of law for the trial only,' and that for the purpose of fixing bail a man must be considered guilty; Low necked, sleeveless Tests, Swiss ribbed cotton; nicely made and neatly finished; splendid val ues to seli at 35c each.

Xeed 116 Yean for Trial. Murphy pointed out that at the present rate of progress over a year and not one trial It would take 116 years to try Ruef on all the charges. He said a conviction on one or two charges would practically send him to the penitentiary for life. "I suppose," said Judge Cooper, turn ing to Heney. "that you will not try the defendant upon more than four or five charges if you convict, nor more than that number if you fail to convict." 'No: we won't stop on four or five Indictments If w fail to convict. We won't stop until we have tried him 116 times unless we get several convictions or else go out of office before ..iat time." Just when the Appellate Court will render Its decision in the matter is un certain. GRAFT OS POLICE BEATS Two Sergeants and Seven Officers Accused in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.

Your HOTEL IN FLAMES Famous Grand Pacific in Chi cago Damaged. GUESTS LEAVE IN HASTE Fire Breaks From Linen Closet and Drives Out BanqnetersWork vmen on Roof Make Hur ried Descent. CHICAGO. March 20. Fire resulting from crossed electric light wires dam aged the Grand Pacific Hotel today to the extent of $100,000, and for a time threatened entire destruction of the building. No lives were lost, although many of the guests were compelled to make hasty exlU by the fire escapes, and but three persons were injured. Two of these were in the crowd In front of the hotel and were slightly cut by falling glass. The third was a fireman, who suffered a fracture of the left arm. The fire was discovered by James Ryan, a mechanic, who was at work upon the roof. Two weeks ago a por tion of the hotel smokestack was blown down in a gale, and Mr. Ryan was in charge of a gang which was putting up the new stack. He was in the act of placing a block under one corner of a derrick when a small tongue of flame shot up into his face. He at once gave the alarm. Saved by Desperate. Work. For a considerable time it was Alt believed that the fire would be serious. It was generally known that repairs on the srookestark were in progress, and. when the 'first clouds of smoke rolled along the roof and drifted down Into the hotel court, they were gener ally believed to come either from the defective stack or from the apparatus in use by the workmen. The flames were confined by desper ate work to the north wing. When the employes responded to the calls of Mr. Ryan they found a linen closet on the eighth floor to be entirely ablaze. From- this point the flames spread along the entire north portion of the seventh floor and also destroyed the rear portion of the sixth floor. At this point the fire was checked after a se vere struggle. The entire hotel, however, was com pletely flooded with water and the Waists0 and dainty lace; some of them price. There are Ties of all ir i r r- i We know that the dressy celebrated Cooper's Spring Derby Rib. Gray, blue, or salmon color.

BUTLER, Pa., March 20. A panic among school children and their par ents resulted -today at the Institute Hall School building when a report was circulated that President Melhling of the school board has received a Black Hand threat demanding $500 or the building would be blown up with dynamite. Many women, frantic with fear, rushed to the school and de manded that their children be in- IN stantly dismissed. When the teachers persisted in keeping the children In their rooms, a number of women fainted. In a short time the children deserted the building when they learned of the report. All efforts to hold them In check were futile. An official state ment has been issued denying that such a demand has been made.
