Recent Decision That Allows
Appeal to Supreme Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6. (Special.)
Following the threat of Judge Hebbard
that ho would "fix Heney on sight," a
large crowd gathered about the court
room today when the case of Abe Ruef
was called. The overflow extended into
the street and a mob formed on the out
' side. Assistant District Attorney Heney
spent most of the day in Judge Dunne's
court. Hebbard was in a nearby chamber.
The two did not meet.
Hebbard's declaration that he would
'fix Heney' followed the publication of
a statement made by Heney that Hebbard
was drunk when he granted Ruef a writ
of error and allowed him to appeal to the
United States Supreme Court. Failing
to find Heney. Hebbard had flashed his
revolver at a reporter, but- no shot was
fired.
There was a tense expectancy about the
court all day. It was known that Heb
bard was armed. So was Heney. Heb
bard has a name as a fighter, and
Heney's record is well known. The situ
ation is calmer tonight, but those con
cerned in the case have prepared them
selves to meet any emergency that might
arise. '
Admits He Was Drunk.
During the court proceedings today
Heney made, no reference- to Hebbard. The
latter emerged from the sanitarium today
and opened court, but the session was
brief. "I have been bitterly assailed by
the press." he began. "It is most un
pleasant to open the paper and read these
accounts of one's doings. They say I was
drunk last night. Well. I admit It, but
there -was nothing of that sort when I
made my decision on Monday. I have
been accused on all sides. I would like
to hear the opinion of some of those pres
ent In this court."
' A few of Hebbard's friends had gathered
in his courtroom and they expressed their
admiration of him.
Slay Be Impeached.
Impeachment proceedings have been
suggested, but it is not likely that such
a move will bo made. The case will go
to the Legislature, and adjournment has
been set for Saturday. Moreover. Ruef's
following In the State legislature is
strong enough to block any attempt to
remove Habbard.
Although Ruef is still In hiding, it is
generally understood that he has not left
the city, but has secreted himself until
certain papers can be prepared and tiled
by his attorneys.

Unci's Attorneys Move to Stay
Proceedings.
SAX FRANCISCO. March S.-That conn
eel for Abe Ruef have not exhausted their
resources, but still have hopes of saving
their client from immediate trial, was
made known tonight when one of their
number went before the District Court
of Appeals with an application in behalf
of Ruef for a writ of prohibition restrain
ing Superior Judge Dunne from proceed
ing with the hearing of the felony
charges brought against Ruef by the
grand Jury.
The application is based on the fact of
the Issuance of the temporary writ of
error by Superior Judge Hebbard which
enables Ruef to apply to the Supreme
Court of the United States for a perma
nent writ of error. Ruef's lawyers con
tend that by virtue of the latter proceed
ing their client has gained a 60 days'
stay of all proceedings ' In the Superior
Court and on this showing they ask that
Judge Dunne be restrained.
The application to the Court of Appeals
was not signed by Ruef, but by his coun
sel. Ruef's signature to the application
would have been an admission of his
presence within the jurisdiction of Judge
Dunne's court, before a fact which the
prosecution asserts and defense declared
Ignorance of.
May Not Have Standing.
The failure of Ruef to attach his sig
nature to the application, however, has
raised the question whether Ruef has
any standing before the Court of Ap
peals. Justices Cooper. Hall and Kerri
gan, composing that tribunal, will render
their decision tomorrow upon the appli
cation. Ruef is still a fugitive from justice, ac
cording to Superior Judge Dunne, who
late this afternoon decided that Sheriff
O'Neil had not shown due diligence in pro
ducing him for trial, and appointed
Coroner Walsh as elisor to serve a bench
warrant for his appearance in court. The
Coroner was ordered to make a return
at service at 3 o'clock tomorrow after
noon. This was the net result of a day devoted
to a fruitless search for Ruef, although
HEBBARD
VOWS
none of those Interested deny that he is
in the city. When court convened at 10
o'clock this morning. Sheriff O'Neil re
ported that his search for the attorneys,
whose trial was pending, had been unsuc
cessful. Others supposed to know the
attorney's whereabouts were examined,
but no information of value was ob
tained. Close Friend of Ruer.
Then, after two adjournments had been
taken. Assistant District Attorney Heney
presented to Judge Dunne a lengthy affi
davit signed by himself, in which he re
cited the alleged facts that Sheriff O'Neil
is a close personal friend of Ruef; that the
latter, "recognized as the political boss
of San Francisco," had procured O'Neil's
nomination and assured his election and
that, consequently, the latter was under
obligations to Ruef, unfitting him to serve
as the arresting officer. Similar- asser
tions were made regarding the Sheriff's
deputies, who, it was charged, had been
named by Ruef. -
The Assistant District Attorney also
stated that he had been informed during
the day that one of Ruef s attorneys had
applied to the District Court of Appeals
for a writ of prohibition, declaring at the
same time that if it was granted the
missing attorney would be produced. For

these and other similar reasons. Heney
asked that Sheriff O'-Neil be replaced by
Coroner Walsh, as the officer delegated
to produce Ruef in court,, and Judge
Dunne so ordered. Mayor Schmitz ar
rived today and is expected to be in
court tomorrow.
Mayor Schmitz Is Home.
SAN . FRANCISCO. March 6. Mayor
Schmitz arrived in the city at 2:15 this
afternoon on the belated - Coast Limited
train at "Los Angeles. With him were
members of the Board of Education, who
accompanied him to Washington. Schmitz
declined to talk to any of the newspaper
reporters, saying he would issue a state
ment on the whole Japanese situation.
In response to a question as to whether
he would be a candidate to succeed him
self, he declared he "would stand by his
guns." and that he would not be driven
out by the newspapers.

TWICE OVERCOME BY SORROW
Her Son Haunted by Thought

ens Lunacy Commission.
NEW TORK, March 6. Another dra
matic chapter was added to the history
of tne trial of Harry K. Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White today, when
the defendant's mother took the witness
stand to contribute what she might to
ward saving lier son from the electric
chair. Mrs. Thaw's stay before the Jury
was brief. When Mr. Delmas had defi
nitely limited her examination to the
change she noted in her son's condition
following his return from Paris in 1933,
after Evelyn Nesbit had told him her
life story, and when District Attorney
Jerome "had, with great consideration,
conducted a short and ineffectual cross
examination, the mother-love welled
strong in Mrs. Thaw, and she felt she
had not done ner all. She was loth to
leave the witness chair.
"There is the question of heredity,"
she protested when both Mr. Delmas
and Mr. Jerome told her she might step
down.
"1 have asked you, madame, ail that
Is considered necessary,' said Thaw's
attbrney. With the- utmost deference.
Mrs. Thaw half rose, hesitated, and
was about to sit down again, when the
leading counsel for the defense offered
her bis band to assist her from the
stand.
Twice Yields to Grief.
Twice during her recital Mrs. Thaw
broke down and was unable to pro
ceed. After a few moments Justice
Fitzgerald asked solicitously if she felt
able to proceed, and Mrs. Thaw, evi
dently much chagrined that her grief
had overcome her strong will to re
sist it, nodded in the affirmative. She
declined a glass of water, made an ef
fort to proceed, but failed. Justice
Fitzgerald then interposed a relief for
which the elderly woman must have
been deeply grateful. He said that, as
many of her remarks had been uttered
in a very low voice, it would be neces
sary to have the stenographer read all
the testimony up to that time to the
jury. When the reading was ended,
Mrs. Thaw had regained tier compos
ure and was able to proceed.
She said that, when Harry came
home In 1903, he seemed depressed and
apparently bad lost all interest in life.
He passed sleepless nights; would often
leave the table at meals and go into the

parlor to play the piano, the music
growing softer and softer, until it
finally died away. t
Life Ruined by Wicked Man.
"He told me a wicked man probably
the wickedest man in all New Tork had
ruined his life," said she.
It was not until some time after he had
offered this explanation of the change in
him that she learned the story of the
young woman who was to become her
daughter-in-law., Mrs. Thaw told of her
son's breaking down in a Pittsburg
church and explaining that it was all be
cause of the sorrow which prevented the
young woman he loved from being at his
side.
Mrs. Thaw told of coming to New Tork
to meet Evelyn Nesbit and of giving her
consent to her son's , marriagethe one
condition being that the girl's past life in
New York should be a closed book, never
to be r erf erred to in any way. Then came
the story of the marriage in Pittsburg in
April, 1905, the honeymoon trip and then
a happy, placid Summer spent at the
mother's home in the mountains.
Mr. Delmas ended her testimony abrupt
ly. The District Attorney was taken by
surprise and began to cross-examine Mrs.
Thaw In a very low voice. He then asked
about conditions surrounding her son's al
lowance, but Mr. Delmas objected. He
asked what rKaon's income amounted
to. airs. Thaw saldltwas moderate and
nothing like the sum the newiftpapers have
so often reported. '
Jerome on Thin Ice.
Mr. Jerome next trod upon what he
must have felt the thinnest of ice, lest he
put himself in the attitude of attempting
to harass the pathetic figure in black on
the stand. He asked the mother what she
knew of her son's relations with Miss
Nesbit before she became his wife.
"Nothing," she replied, without hesi
tancy. The District Attorney seemed complete
ly baffled and brought his examination to
a close.
Mrs. Thaw's story was deeply impres
sive In its simplicity and brevity. If
Harry Thaw's fate is thrown into the
hands of the 13 men in the jury box who
today heard the mother's story, there
seems little doubt that what she said will
carry wonderful weight.
Threat of Lunacy Commission.
. But Mr. Jerome gave the impres
sion that he might use the mother's
testimony as a weapon in another
direction in his fight to have a com
mission appointed to test the present
state of mind of the defendant. While
the elder Mrs. Thaw was-on the stand,
the District Attorney engaged in a
wordy war with Mr. Delmas, during
which he uttered publicly for the first
time the threat of a lunacy commis
sion. Mr. Delmas was- invoking the
presumption of law that if Thaw was
Insane in 1903 he was Jnsane in 1904.
This was to enable Mrs. Thaw to state
conversations with frer son in the latter
year. These conversations were ad
missible only on the ground that they
were the utterances of a person ment
ally irresponsible. Mr. Jerome said
there was no reason why the assump
tion should not continue down to the
present, and, if Mr. Delmas point was
well taken, the trial should be sus
pended and a commission appointed.
Justice Fitzgerald upheld Mr. Delmas
and said the question of a commission
was pot before the court.
With the completion of the mother's
testimony today Thaw's attorneys said
they would have but two more wit
nesses, experts, who will be called
upon to answer a newly-framed hypo
thecal question covering the entire
case from beginning to end. These ex
perts are said to be Drs. Graeme M.
Hammond and Smithe Jelllffe.
Harry Thaw, during his mother's
stay upon the stand, seemed unusually
pale and extremely nervous.
At the end of Mrs. Thaw's examina
tion court adjourned until Friday

OTHER DEALS REPORTED
Enormous Purchases and Rapid Ad
vance on Weak Market Keep Wall
Street In a Flutter Moving
x- Power Carefully Hidden.
NEW YORK. March 6. Sensational
buying of the shares pf the Reading com
pany today gave Wall Street its most
exciting experience since the Northern
Pacific contest of six years ago. Read
ing had been strong in the face of a
general weak market all through the
morning session of the stock exchange,
when shortly after 1 o'clock there devel
oped an enormous buying movement in
the shares, which carried the price up
more than 8 points in half an hour.
Up to the close of the market there
was nothing to show the source of the
purchasing orders, but a persistent rumor
was in circulation that E. H. Harriman
was buying the stock with the object of
acquiring control of the property and
that Mr. Harriman was taking all that
was offered in the open market in addi
tion to the holdings of H. C. Frick,
which he was said to have purchased
privately. It was also said that the
Reading stock held by the Lake Shore
had been turned over to Mr. Harriman
so that he would have absolute control.
Basis of Harriman Humor.
It was pointed out that Mr. Frick, hav
ing become a director of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, would desire to dispose
of his. Reading stock and that, as he Is
friendly with the Harriman Interests, he
would be likely to sell to them if they
eared to buy.
The reports as to Hariman's buying
were circulated throughout the financial
district and were given credence in spite
of the lack of anything official to confirm
them, but there were other rumors. One
of these was that 3. P. Morgan & Co..
who formerly dominated Reading,, were
buying to resume their former position
in the property: another was that the
New York Central was adding to Lake
Shore holdings of Reading, and a third
attributed the buying to the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western.
All the time that the stock was going
up efforts were made without success
to discover the source of the buying
and to obtain either denial or confirma
tion of the various reports in circulation.
At the offices of the banking houses as
sociated with the different parties men
tioned in the rumors all knowledge of
the movement was denied, but at the
same time it was said that Independent
action to secure the property might have
been undertaken without the knowledge
of the firm interviewed.
Will Not Say Yes or No.
Mr. Harriman, who Is in Washington,
was informed of the use of his name in
connection with the Heading transactions
and he then made a statement through
his secretary to the effect that he was
not "interested in Wall Street and did
not care to be denying all the rumors
originating there." Further than this
nothing was obtainable. The brokerage
houses handling the buying orders were
numerous and their Identity gave no in
dication whatever as to the persons for
whom they were acting.
The trading in Reading reached the ex
tremely large total of 736,300 shares, or
about one-third of all the transactions
on the stock exchange for the day. The
magnitude of the sales seemed to pre
clude the idea that an ordinary manipula
tive maneuver for higher prices was be
ing executed. The blocks traded in were
laree. ranging up to -KM) and 5000-share
lots, one block of 10,000 changing -hands
at 125.
Heading Alone Is Strong.
The strength of Reading attracted at
tention early in the day, owing to Its
being in sharp contrast to the weakness
in the list generally. The market opened
with a rally from yesterday's decline,
but before noon the better tone gave
way to a renewed bearish sentiment and
the decline became violent. The feeling
on the exchange bordered on demoraliza
tion, with extremely heavy liquidation
and declines for many Issues to the low
est points of the year. The Harriman
shares and the stocks in what is called
the Standard Oil group were notably
sensitive to pressure, and this fact em

strengthen the entire list and a general

tinued up to the close.

Heading Officials In the Dark.
PHILADELPHIA, March 8. At the of
fice of the Philadelphia & Reading in this
city, it was stated that the officials had
heard of the rumor, but -knew nothing
about the passing of the company to Har
riman control. A high official said the
transfer books do not show such a change
In ownership.
At the office of a bank firm which has
frequently participated in Mr. Harrlman's
operations, it was said that nothing was
known there of Reading purchases for
Mr. Harrtman. and that It was not be
lieved he was responsible for the rise in
the stock.
Does Not Care to Deny Rumor.
WASHINGTON, March 6. When the
report from New York to the effect that
Mr. Harriman had secured large holdings
of the Reading & New Jersey Central
Railroad stock was 'shown to him, Mr.
Harriman, through his secretary, re
quested the Associated Press to say that
he is not interested in Wall street, and
did not care to be denying all the rumors
originating there. '
Has Not Sold to Harriman.
WASHINGTON. March 6. Senator C. M.
Depew, upon his return to Washington
tonight from. New York, denied that the
New York Central had sold Its holdings
in the Reading to El H. Harriman.
ILLINOIS ' PREPARES ATTACK
Plans to Invalidate Alton Bonds Is
sued by Harriman.
CHICAGO, March . A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Official
steps have been taken by the State of
Illinois to attack the validity of $32,000,000
in Alton Railroad bonds issued by IS, H.
Harriman and his associates when they
reorganized the Chicago & Alton Rail
road Company. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has received an appli
cation from W: H. Stead, Attorney-General
of the State of Illinois, asking for
a complete transcript of all the testi
mony taken by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Its hearing at New York
regarding the Chicago & Alton Railroad.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has begun to comply with the request
which was made under the special, di
rection of Governor Deneen.

Harriman Discuses Railroads in Re
lation With Government.
WASHINGTON, March . E. H. Har
riman tonight granted a farewell In
terview to 150 newspapermen, saying
that he would return to New York to
morrow and stop talking for publica
tion. Mr. Harriman discussed trans
portation problems, railroad legisla
tion, the tariff, the currency question,
the attitude of the public toward the
corporations, and the probability of a
panic.
"I. notice that the afternoon papers
say that the New York Central hold
ings and tiiose of the old Wasserman
pool In the Reading Railway were
taken over last night. This is not true.
I have not purchased a single share of
railroad stock since I have been in
Washington."
He refused to answer the direct
question as to whether he had -secured
control of the Reading.
As to the currency and the tariff, Mr.
Harriman said:
"I think the currency and tariff
questions should be settled in a more
definite way before Congress and the

BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN. '
WASHINGTON, March 1. Although.
America has long been the land of' a
thousand roads to fortune, the Italian
was the last to come here in the searcn.
for success. But now that he bas
found the way, he is making up for
lost time. In the decade" 1ST20-33 only
408 Italians came to America,"an aver
age of only 41 a year. Now they are
coming at the rate of upwards of 330,
000 a year. Italy is now furnishing the
greatest number of men that the old
world Is sending to the new. The in
crease in the population of New York's
"Little Italy", has made that city the
third largest Italian 'center in the
world.'
- The Italian is a genuine hustler. Ha
comes over here for .a job, takes what
ever kind of work he can get, and
sticks to it. I heard of a physician
who served as a dish-washer, and a
lawyer who worked for several years
as a waiter until he could learn the
language and become adjusted .to the
general scheme of things. One steam
ship line will have only Italian steve
dores, because they work harder and
are more temperate- than - the- men of
other nationalities. The enterprise and
thrift of the Italians is indicated by
the statistics, which show that in New
York they have 4000 real estate hold
ings valued at J20.000.000. They own
10,000 stores in Manhattan and have
$16,300,000 in the tavlngs banks. There
are two Italian steamship lines and 16
'daily and weekly newspapers.
Little Crime and Drunkenness.
It is a rare thing to see an Italian
beggar. Boston snows a court calen
dar that has only three drunken Ital
ians out of every of the popula
tion, against three out of every 130 of
the population drawn from Northern
Europe. The women rarely appear in
the police courts and are noted for
their thrift and virtue. Reports on
temperance and crime show that, while
24 per cent of the distress suffered by
Americans is due to drink, less than
4 per cent of the Italians' troubles is
traced to this source. They are quick
tempered, and their acts of violence are
generally due to this characteristic
Through the efforts of the mission
ary sisters of the Sacred Heart and
of the resident Italians, the Columbus
Hospital was established In New York.
While this Is essentially an Italian
charity, the patients represent every
nationality and creed. There Is not an
Italian physician on the staff, which
is proof of the broad American spirit
that actuates the management. There
are Itulian policemen and postmen In
New York, and the members of that
race are In the Legislatures and on the
bench in several states. The president
of a giant fruit concern in San Fran
clsno and the promoter of a million-'
dollar ranch industry came to the new
world only a few years ago in tno
steerage of an immigrant ship.
Statues of Italian Heroes.
The American-Italian citizens of
New York have given three statues to
that city. One of these Is the figure
of Garibaldi that faces Washington
Square a short distance from "Little
Italy." Another is the bust of Maxzlni,
the Italian liberator, in Central Park.
Both of these pieces are the work of
Turin!. The third statue stands on the
lofty column in Columbus Plaza at the
Eighth-avenue and Fifty-ninth-street
entrance to Central Park. These pa
triotic people are now raising funds to
build a school in memory of Verdi, with
whose music even the most humble of -them
are thoroughly familiar.
Although two-thirds of the total num
ber of Italians in the United States are
located In New York, the trend of their
emigration is now toward the country.
California's success in fruit-growing is .
said to be largely due to the efforts of,
the 45.000 Italians who have made their
home there and who brought their art of-vine-culture
and wlne-maklng with them.
They have some of the largest wlne-vats
in the world and ship fruit by the train
load. They own 2726 farms In California,
and the value of their ranches and busi
ness interests amounts to nearly $116,
000,000. The Asti colony. In Sonoma
County, is famous the world over, per
petuating in Its name the renowned city
of the Piedmont wine country of Italy.
The grapes grown here are made into
Italian wines, red and white French and

which are shipped all over the -world,
