SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.-r(Spcial.)
Abraham Kuef, the fugitive politician
boss of San Francisco, was captured by
Special Agent William J. Bums at the
Trocadero, a suburban resort, this even
ing. The Sheriff and Coroner of San
Francisco in turn having failed to comply
with Judge Dunne's orders to bring the in.
d-tcted Ruef into court. Judge Dunne late
this aternoon appointed William J. Biggy
an elisor, and immediately afterward the
latter, in company with Burns and several
of his assistants, hurried to the Trocadero
in an automobile.
Arriving there, the detectives surround
ed the place while Burns and Blggy en
tered and demanded of the landlord the
whereabouts of Ruef. He at first denied
that Ruef was there, but . the determined
tones of Burns' voice finally forced ad
mission from the 'boniface that there were
two strangers occupying a room on the
floor above. Blggy and Burns hurried up
stairs and, forcing an entrance to the
room, found Ruef. in whose company was
Vlyrtlle Cerf, nervously pacing the floor.
"Hello," He Says to Burns.
"Hello, Burns." said Ruef, attempting
to possess himself with an air of calm
ness. "Hello. Abe." retorted Burns, and he
and Biggy proceeded to view their sur
roundings. "I was just going into town." said
Ruef. "and Cerf was going to telephone
for an automobile."
"You needn't worry about an auto,"
remarked Burns, with a smile, "we've
got one waiting for you downstairs."
Ruef and Cerf were hustled into the
automobile and brought back to the
city direct to Francis J. Heney's office,
in front of which Ruef, under guard,
waited in the automobile for half an
hour, the object of the gaze of the curi
ous, while Burns and Biggy, in Heney's
office, were communicating to Hiram
Johnson, Heney's assistant in the graft
cases, the news of Ruef's capture.
Under Guard in Hotel.
Later, Klisor Biggy took Ruef to the
St. Francis Hotel, where it is in
tended he shall remain practically a
prisoner until his appearance is de
manded in court on Monday. He was
taken out by Blggy at 11 o'clock for
supper, and announced that he would
issue a statement before retiring.
At midnight Ruef's .attorneys said
they would not attempt any habeas
corpus proceedings tonight.
ItlEF'S LAWYER IS REBUKED
Judge Hunne Sentences Shortridge
to 24 Hours in Jail Tor Contempt.
SAM FRANCISCO, llarch 8. Sheriff
O'Neil and Coroner Walsh, having con-
fessed their inability to find, arrest and
' , bring into court Abe Muet, the indicted
lawyer and political boss, who has
been declared by Judge Dunne to be a
fugitive, It developed upon State Sen
ator W. J. Biggy. a local business man
and formerly Chief of Police of San
Francisco by appointment during the
interim between administrations of
Chiefs Lees and Sullivan, to discover
the whereabouts of the defendant in
hiding and take him into custody.
An order to this effect was made by
Superior .TudKo Dunne late this after
noon, and Mr. Biggy was appointed
elisor and sworn in. The power con
ferred upon Biggy authorizes him "to
take the body of Abraham Ruef. de
fendant in the case of the people
against Abraham Ruef. for extortion,
and to arrest and hold In custody said
Ruef until the next session of this
court, when you are directed- to bring
said Ruef into the presence of this
court for trial as charged."
As elisor. Mr. Blggy has also full au
thority to deputize as many other per
sons as he may require to help him
prosecute the search for the missing
lawyer, and as the charge Is a felony
charge he may Use "all force neces
sary" to effect Ruef's arrest.
"if I can tind him," said Blggy after
he had been sworn in. "1 will bring him
here. That much you may count on."
This was not the only sensational
development in today's proceedings in
the Ruef case. Samuel M. Shortridge,
attorney of record of Ruef, incurred a
severe rebuke from Judge Dunne dur
ing an examination of Assistant Attor
ney Heney into the incompetency of
Coroner Walsh appointed by the court
as substitute for the disqualified Sher
iff O'Neil to locate and arrest the in
dicted lawyer.
Shortridge persisted In an effort to en
ter objection to a question put by Heney,
and would not be silenced by the court,
who finally adjudged him guilty of. con
tempt and sentenced him to 24 hours' im
prisonment In the county jail. Short
ridge, however, escaped Immediate in
carceration by applying to the District
Court of Appeals for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that . no contempt
had been committed. The merits of this
controversy will be argued before
Justices Cooper, Hall and Kerrigan Mon
day morning. In the interim Shortridge
Is at liberty on his own recognizance.
The ordering of Shortridge to jail cre
ated a sensation in the city. As a law
yer he is well known throughout the
state. To the Associated Press Mr. Short
ridge said:
. - The action of Judge Dunne is an outrage,
committed not so much upon myself as
upon the legal profession and the citizens
of California The law expressly provides
that a defendant has the right to be heard
by counsel, and the objection sought to be
made by me and to whteh Judge Dunne took
such indignant exception was offered by me
in the interests and behalf of Abe Ruef. my
client. - My conduct instead of being "bois
terous and offensive," as stigmatized by the
court, was precisely the opposite. I was act
ing wholly within my. rights as attorney of
record for Kuef.
Judge Dunne said:
Mr. Shortridge brought his punishment
upon himself. In the matter of the examina
tion of the Coroner he had no more standing
in: the court than the merest spectator. The
examination of the Coroner was not a part
of the trial of Abe Ruef. but was a Judi
cial inquiry by the court to determine

torneys,' Whom Judge Dunne Sen

whether a public official had performed his
duty. Shortridge was In court as legal repre
sentative of Ruef. not of the Coroner. By
his Insistent and gratuitous Interruption of
that proceeding, and his refusal to observe
the silence enjoined upon him by the court.
he was guilty of conduct both boisterous and
offensive, and I ordered him to Jail for con
tempt.
ORDERS LAWYER TO SIT DOWN
Six Times Judge Dunne Seeks to Si
lence Attorney Shortridge.'
SAX FRANCISCO. March 8. Abraham
Ruef again failed to appear this morn
ing when his case was called in Judge
Dunne's court Coroner Walsh reporting
his inability to find the Indicted attorney.
Assistant District Attorney Heney was
examining the Coroner,, when S. M.
Shortridge, one of Ruef's attorneys, ob
jected to a question. Judge Dunne or
dered Shortridge to take his seat, but he
refused. Six times Judge Dunne ordered
the attorney to sit down, but Shortridge
kept on talking. Finally Judge Dunne or-

Bodily Lifted 300 Words From
Speech on Philippines- Willam- .
ette University Condemns
Action of Student.
The case of Wallace Trill Is the
third Instance of plagiarism that has
occurred in the Intercollegiate Ora
torical Association of Oregon. The
first charge of plagiarism was made
in 1002 against Edwin Minchin, of
Pacific College, who won the state
contest at CorvalHs on an oration
dealing with Wendell Philips. The
following year Professor Kelsey, of
Pacific College, filed a charge of pla
giarism against Erastus Smith, of
McMlnnvllle, who won at Eugene
with an oration upon "The Home
less Nation." Smith was severely cen
sured by the executive committee,
and McMlnnvllle was debarred from
competing the following year..
At that time more strict regula
tions were passed dealing with the
submission of orations which prob
ably resulted in the detection of the
literary theft before the contest in
the present Instance.
SALEM, Or., March 8. (Special.) Fac
ulty and students of Willamette Univer
sity were stupefied with astonishment
and mortification when word was re
ceived here this morning that Willamette's
representative. Wallace G. Trill, had been
barred from the intercollegiate oratorical
contest for plagiarism. The report would
not have been, credited but for the fact
fhat it came from Willamette delegates.
Who said there was no room to question
the truth of the charge made against the
Salem contestant. In Senator Beveridge's
speech on the Philippines had been found a
passage copied bodily by Trill, without
giving credit.
Surprise in Salem was all the greater
because of the general belief that Trill's
ability and application) would enable him
to 'prepare a creditable oration without
resorting to questionable methods. Trill
has been a student at Willamette for sev
eral years. He was graduated from the
college of oratory two years' ago and
Is now a student in the college of law.
Last November he was a candidate in
the Republican primaries for nomination,
for City Recorder, but was defeated.
In telephone conversations with Salem
friends today. Trill acknowledged his
guilt of plagiarism, and to one friend
said that he has quit Salem forever, ex
cept possibly for a short visit to close up
some business affairs. Thou eh the stu

dents have generally believed Trill tobe
a man- of considerable literary ability, a
few know that he had very poor com
mand of English and that his writing
was full of bad grammar and worse spell
ing. He was nevertheless exceptionally
good on delivery. Competent judges say
that his rendition of "Paul Before Agrip
pa' could scarcely be excelled.
The faculty of Willamette University
held a special meeting ton-ight and adopt
ed the following resolutions:
Whereas, It appears that Wallace O.
Trill. Willamette's representative in the in
tercollegiate oratorical content. Is guilty of
plagiarism, and so far k unabU to vindi

NO PROMISE TO MELDRUM
Baker Denies Freedom Offered for
Evidence Against Hermann.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 8. It is now understood
that the trial of Binger Hermann, which
began February 11, will probably drag
through the rest of March. There are
many witnesses yet to be heard and con
siderable evidence to be introduced, par
ticularly evidence similar to that brought
out during the past week, to show a
motive for the destruction of the letter
bookf?. There was a rumor here today that ex-Surveyor-General
Meldrum had been
promised his freedom if he would testify
strongly against Hermann, but District
Attorney Baker emphatically denied the
report, saying no inducement whatever
had been held out to Meldrum.
S. A. D. Puter will be the star witness
against Hermann next week.

Attack Veracity.
HAS ARRAY OF. ALIENISTS
Rebuttal Evidence May Prove Some
what Spicy Evelyn Thaw's
Brother Tells of Scheme to
Separate Her From Harry.
NEW YORK, March 8. The defense in
the Thaw case rested today immediately
after the convening of court and an ad
journment was ordered until Monday
morning. District Attorney Jerome said
that, while he had been informally noti
fied yesterday of the changed plans of
the defense, he had come to court today
expecting to be confronted by additional
expert testimony. His witness ess were
not ready, he added. It was upon this
representation and with the consent of
the defense that the adjournment was
taken.
The court proceedings occupied less
than five minutes and Mr. Jerome re
turned at once to, his own office to pre
pare the rebuttal testimony. Almost
his first move was to subpena Mrs.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw to produce in court
any letters she may have, written by
Stanford White. The District Attorney
also had May McKenzie notified to be In
court Monday prepared to go upon thm
witness stand.
Xot So Intimate as Formerly.
Miss McKenzie had been under subpena
by the state ever since the trial began.
She is the intimate friend of Thaw's wife,
and during the first stages of the trial
the two were inseparable. Lately, how
ever, Miss McKenzie has been seen but
seldom about the court. There is no in
timation that the young women have
quarreled. Mips McKenzie probably found
her position rather trying, sitting day
after day in the witness room with the
Thaw family. It is also said that Mr.
Jerome has summoned Mrs. J. J. Caine,
of Boston, who already has testified for
the defense.
Among the other known witnesses for
the state are Dr. BIngaman, of Pittsburg,
and Dr. Deemar, of Klttanning, Pa., the
Thaw and Copley family physicians. The
defense originally summoned these physi
cians, , but Mr. Jerome has stated that
the doctors can give Important testimony
which the defense has failed to develop.
The prosecutor has stated that he will
call Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, who at
first was in tho employ of Thaw's at
torneys but left the case when Thaw dis
missed Black, oleott, Gruber & Bonynge,
who were retained in his behalf by his
mother's legal advisers. Drs. Austin
Flint, Carlos MacDonald and William
Mabon have been in the employ of the
state ever since the Thaw trial began
GIRL"
and have attended every session. They
are prepared to testify at a moment's
notice.
Attack Mrs. Thaw's Veracity.
Just what Mr. Jerome Intends to prove
or will be allowed to prove on rebuttal
remains a mystery. The prosecutor him
self Is probably at a loss to know how
far he can go In attacking Evelyn Thaw's
story and in adducing evidence tending to
contradict and discredit her. His cam
paign may be changed at any time by
an adverse decision from Jusiice Fitz
gerald. Mr. Polmas. for the defense, un
doubtedly will made Mr. Jerome's pro
gress difficult by continued objections.
The rules of evidence invoked in the
Thaw case differ materially from . those
In any recent murder trial in this jurisdic
tion and it has been evident from the
first that attorneys have been feeling
their way cautiously. Mr. Jerome un
doubtedly will again summon Abraham
Hummel, the lawyer, to the stand to
testify as to the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit is
DetM-tlv. William J. Burns, Who Ix
eated Abe Ruef, When Sheriff and
Coroner Had Failed to Find the
WUj Boss.
alleged to have signed, charging Thaw
with cruelties because she "would not tell
lies" about Stanford White. Howard Nesbit
was with the District Attorney today and
it is Bald he will be called to testify that
his sister told him that Thaw had treated
her cruelly while abroad in 1903, because
she "would not tell lies about Stanford
White," Mr. Jerome hopes by the bro
ther to corroborate the testimony he ex
pects to elicit from Hummel.
Hopes to Finish in One Week.
With these witnesses and many others
under" subpena, Mr. Jerome adhered to
his prediction of last night that the case
might be -givn. to the jury by Friday.
When askod today how many witnesses
he would call, Mr. Jerome replied
smilingly:
"The minimum is zero and the maxl
mum 25, it may be either."
Despite Mr. Jerome's hope for a ter
mination of the long-drawn-out case
within the next week, few of those who
have kept track of the trial are willing
to hazard a prediction that the end is
less than two weeks away.
Before leaving for his home in Pitts
burg today, Dr. C. C. Wiley, the first
alienist put on the stand by the defense,
gave out a letter from D. M. Delmas.
The letter, after stating that the expert
testimony given by Dr. Wiley had "been
fully confirmed by that of the alienists
subsequently examined," contained the
following somewhat significant sentence:
"They have but reiterated your opinion,
that upon the facts of the case, the de
fendant at the time of the homicide was
of unsound mind."
From this expression by Mr. Delmas it
would appear that he .does not expect
to use the plea of "justification" in his
appeal to the jury, but rather hopes to
convince them that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw's
story about White - temporarily un
balanced the defendant's mind.
Move to Separate Thaw and Wife. .
There were many rumors today of a
serious estrangement between thg de
fendant's family and his wife and of the
reported desire of the former to blng
about separation of the young couple in
the event of a verdict acquitting Thaw
of murder, i Young Howard Nesbit, bro
ther of Mrs. Harry Thaw, is quoted as
saying:
"The Countess of Yarmouth has said
that she will not return to England until
her brother and my sister haye been sep
arated. I did not know of this until I
returned from Pittsburg Sunday. As soon
as I arrived here I went to the. Hotel
Lorraine to warn my sister, but , Mr.
Delmas would not let me see her alone.
I did not want any of the lawyers pres
ent while I talked to her because I knew
they would probably deny it. I am sure
that, if my sister knew of the plans
against her, she would assert herself at
once and not remain passive, as she t has
been so far."'
It has also been a matter of comment
that, as two experts have declared Thaw
insane at the time of his marriage, the
ceremony might be declared void and
annulled. Under this rule the will and
codicil, in which Mrs. Thaw is left the
main portion of her husband's estate,
are also void.
IXSAXITY IX MOTHER'S FAMILY

ALBANY, Or., March 7. "Harry K.
Thaw was subject to fits of insanity when
he was only a boy. Many times I've seen

signs of emotional -insanity."
This was the statement made yesterday
by John C. Christy, an Albany attorney,
who knew the Blayer of Stanford White
when he was a boy in Pennsylvania.
Christy went to school with Mrs. William
Thaw, Harry Thaw's mother, and is well
acciuainted with the Copley family, of
which Mrs. Thaw was a member. There
is a strain of insanity running through
the whole family, he says.

WASHINGTON. March 3. (Special Cor
respondence.) Most Americans are de
scended from English forefathers, and
despite -the twisting of the lion's tail,
and other occasional political and social
evidences of Anglophobia, the English are
not looked upon as other foreigners In
the United States. Of the three millions
of Americans In the colonies when inde
pendent Government was established, all
but half a million were English or of
English stock. The English language,
with improvements, is the American lan
guage. English laws are American laws.
The Constitution looks to English prece
dents, and every one of our stata consti
tutions comes from the same source.
American literature cannot be separated
from English literature, and even Eng
land does not attempt a distinction.
In the history of our country the Eng
lish names are most numerous and illustrious.-
Of our 25 Presidents, 15 have been
of direct English stock, beginning with
Washington and ending with Cleveland.
It Is worthy of note that all but two of
the Presidents have come from British
stock, either English, Scotch, Irish or
Welsh. The two exceptions. Van Buren
and Roosevelt, were Dutch In the paternal
line, but both Scotch in the maternal line.
To enumerate the English names which
stand out in the history of the Republic
would be to set down the names of at
least three-fourths of the men whose fame
has made the glory of America in state
craft, war and letters. Comparatively
few English are coming to the United
States now, the yearly immigration be
ing about 50,000, and they are almost im
mediately assimilated by the American,
population. Among the native English
men who are now holding high political
office in this country may be mentioned
J. J. Jenkins, Member of Congress from
Wisconsin and chairman of the important
judiciary committee; Senator George
Sutherland, of Utah, and Representative
William Lorimer, of Chicago.
Famous Scottish-Americans.
Andrew Carnegie is the best known of
the native Scots who are now Americans,
de came to the United States as a penni
less boy, and is now the second richest
man in the world. He has given away
more money than any other man In his
itory. Another Scot, born in the shadow
of the home of Robert Burns, is James
Wilson. Secretary of Agriculture. He is
the only one of McKinley's Cabinet offi
cers who has held onto his seat at the
President's council table until this day.
Alexander Graham Bell, the Inventor ot
the telephone, was born In Scotland. The
late Speaker Henderson, of the National
House of Representatives, came from
Scotland when a boy. Nine Presidents
of the United States boasted of Scotch
blood. Robert E. Lee, of Virginia, was de
scended from Robert Bruce, King of Scot
land. Washington Irving was of Scotch
parentage and the list of his successors
in American journalism who are of the
same blood includes James Gordon Ben
nett, Henry Watterson, Whitelaw Keid,
Arthur Brisbane and John R. McLean.
The St. Andrew's Society of New York
is 152 years old, and nearly every stata
has a Scottish-American organization.
The few Scots who come to this coun
try nowadays do not settle in colonies,
but rapidly amalgamate themselves with
the Americans. This was not so in the
old days when the frontier was beset with
dangers. Companies of Scotch people,
armed with good rifles and Bibles, and
accompanied by Presbyterian ministers,
broke oyer the Alleghenies Into the West
ern wild. Many of these colonies were
from the Carollnas. and in Tennessee and
Alabama and Mississippi they are found
today still Scotch, still Presbyterian, and
still unafraid. From such settlements as
these have come the Witherspoons and
Friersons, without which names the his
tory of American Presbyterianlsm can
not be written. A century old, each of
these little transplanted Drumtochtys;
holds to its old traditions, the marriages
are with Scots, and the blood is kept pure.
Welcome to as many of these law-abiding,
God-fearing people as will come.
Great Influx From Canada.
Our neighbor of the north, the fair Do
minion of Canada, sends us thousands of
her sons each year. It is said there are
more Canadians on this side of the bound
ary than there are in the Dominion. The
manner in which this country attracts the
young blood of Canada Is shown by a re- ,
cent class of engineers which was gradu
ated from McGill University, in Toronto.
At the close of the term 21 young men
were given diplomas, and 19 of them left
immediately to accept positions which
were waiting for them in various parta
of the United States. The Canadian -Is so
