SAX FRANCISCO, March 21.-(Spe-cial.)
The testimony given before the
Brand jury today by a member of the
Pacific States Telephone Company placed
louis Glass, former general manager ot
the company and now member of the ad
visory board, in a dangerous position.
Mr: Glass Ls a brother:in-law of Theodore
Halsey. who has already been indicted
by the grand jury? It may be positively
stated that another indictment was voted
late this afternoon. It was not made pub
lic but it is understood that it was
against a prominent official of the Pacific
States company. . .
The most Important witness ot the day
was Henry T. Scott, president of tha
Pacific States Telephone Company, for
mer vice-president of the "Union Iron
"Works, one of the executors of the Crock
er estate and a multi-millionaire. The
testimony was favorable to Mr. Scott
and he. showed to the satisfaction ot the
jury men that he was not in San Fran
cisco when the bribery deals for which
llaey was indicted were put through.
Mr. Scott showed that he was called to
New I'ork by the death of Mrs. Francis
Burton Harrison, one of the Crocker
heirs, and was not even in California at
the time of the ncjotlations. Mr. Scott
also produced private memoranda to show
that lie had not been in San Francisco
at the time specified in the Halsey In
dictment. '
Tracing Telephone Cash.
Several officials of the Pacific .'States
Company were placed on the witness
stand, including cx-Auditor Zimmer and
Auditor Sherwin. These two officials
were on the rack for three hours. The
books of the company were brought in
and the items care Wily scrutinized. All
expenditures made by Halsey were the
subject of inquiry and the fact was
brought out that Mr. Glass, In his capac
ity of general manager, and not Mr.
Scott, had exercised control of the com
pany's disbursements.
Frank O. Drum, a director ot the Pa
cific States Company and an official of the
gas corporation and agent of the Tevis
estate, was on the stand for half an hour,
lie was given a severe session, emerged
from the room in a state of nervous ex
citement and rushed upon a photographer
who attempted to snap him and 'choked
him until the, newspaper men nearby in
tervened. Drum denied that he was in
ony danger, but it was stated by the Dis
trict Attorney that he had spent some un
comfortable moments under the fire of
lleney.
Miss Smith Holds the Key.
Cine of the biggest sensations of the
great Inquiry broke today, when it leaked
out that Nellie Smith, a stenographer of
the Home Telephone Company, had writ,
ten the letter to Ruef in which proposals
were made for the franchise In San Fran
cisco. Miss Smith wrote the letter at dic
tation. In paying the bribes to Ruef and
the Supervisors, the Home Telephone
Company exercised but little discretion,
and the wonder now is that they were
not detected in the very act.
The letter, the key to the situation, has
been destroyed, but Miss Smith can tell
Its contents and therefore has the situa
tion in her hands. She will bo given an
other opportunity to think over the mat
ter, but the prosecution will insist that
she reveal all she knows.
RUK.F STIM. CI.OSK PRISONER
Burns Works lo Get Confession.
.Move fur Release Propped.
SAN FRANCISCO, March II. The Su
preme Court today on the request of
attorneys of Abraham Ruef. the central
figure in the municipal graft Investiga
tion, dismissed Ruef's application for a
writ of habeas corpus to transfer him
from the custody ot Klisor V. J. Biggy
to that of Sheriff O'Neill and to be taken
from the St. Francis Hotel to tile County
Jail.
Ruef." said Mr. Blggy, "upon looking
up authorities, came to the conclusion
that the Supreme Court would sustain
the action of Superior Judge Dunne In
appointing an elisor and forestalled an
adverse decision by having the writ dis
missed." The dismissal of the writ was to some
extent a disappointment to the prosecu
tion, who hoped that the Supreme Court
would hand down a decision which would
elearly define the duties and authority
or an elisor, some points of which are
now a matter of contention.
Ruef Pays Off Three Lawyers.
It leaked' out tonight that Ruef late
this afternoon paid off three of his attor
neys. Messrs. Fairall. Murphy and Short-
ridge, which has revived the report that j
there is dissension among them and that
at least one of them, Mr. Shortridge,
desires to withdraw from the case. This,
however, was denied by Mr. Shortridge.
who with Mr. Fairall also disclaimed any
knowledge of dissension or difference of
opinion' In the Ruef camp. Neither Ruef
nor any. of his Attorneys, .will discuss his
case.
Burns Works for Confession.
Color Is lent to the report persistently
circulated that Secret Service Agent
Burns is working on Ruef to get him
to confess by the frequent visits paid
by the secret service agent to Ruef and
the fact that Mr. Burns .was closeted
with the dethroned political chieftain un
til 2:30 o'clock this morning.
From those who are now guarding Ruef
it ls learned he now realizes the full
seriousness of his situation. For two
nights, there wag little sleep for Ruef.
and he Is said to have moaned and
groaned and tossed in his bed and the
guards asked him if he were ill. Mr.
Burns visits him several times a day.
Ruef and Mr. Burns seem to be on the
best of terms, laughing and chatting with
each other. Mr. Burns in a joking man-

tan Francisco Board of SaperviH
orn. Who Acted Kuef's A sent la
Distributing Graft.
ner tells how the various officials have
confessed, but each story has a point
which has its effect upon Ruef. Kvcry
little kindness or privilege shown to Ruef
is impressed upon him as having been
granted by Mr. Burns.
( If patience; perseverenee, method and
influences that are being brought to bear
can accomplish it, it is believed that Ruef
will confess.
What Is affecting Ruef the most is the
fact that his aged mother, to whom h
was frratly devoted, is an invalid and
cannot visit him. His father and other
members of the family visit him daily.
With the dismissal of the writ by the
Supreme Court tonight the question of
a place of detention for Ruef has again
arisen. ristrustinp the police and the
Sheriff. Ruef has been kept in the St.
Francis Hotel pndlns the. decision of -the
Supreme Court as to the legality of his
detention in the custody of Mr. Biggy.

Cullum Says Harriman Drained Al

With Loot Valuation of the
Railroads Next Problem.
WASHINGTON'. March 21. (Special.) A
forcible expression' of opinion from Sena
tor Cullom after an interview with Presi
dent Roosevelt at the White House this
morning has led 4to speculation as to
whether the President in his recent inter
view with Governor Deneen and Attorney
General Stead, ot Illinois, may not have
inquired of the'two latter 'official! regard.'

inflict bodily punishment upon K. H. Har
riman for looting the Chicago & Alton
Railroad in other words, make an exam
ple of Harriman that woild have a lasting
effect upon any who might be inclined to
imitate his exploits and, by divorcing him
from his questionably acquired properties,,
restore the confidence that will be lacking
as long as he aid his kind are suspected
of being In' control. '
Would Put Harriman In Jail.
"If I could have my way and there was
a law by which it could be done." said
Mr. Cullom, "I ' would put Harriman in
jail and keep him there long enough to
make him pay thefull penalty for looting
the Alton and bringing about conditions
for which the road's bondholders will
have to suffer." '
Mr. Cullom called at the White House
and to the President he' expressed cur
sorily, he say, the same opinion he
voiced to interviewers. . -TJie. President. 4t
is understood, did not reply in words, but
lie may have -felt the same way himself.
Those who understand the President's in
nermost feelings have no doubt that lie
would lose no sleep ' sympathizing with
Mr. Harriman in a prison cell.
"I am afraid though." said Mr. Cullom,
"that there is no law by which Mr.
Harriman can be reached. . It ought to
be possible, however, to prevent such
things In the future, now that there has
been an exposure.
Alton Like Squeezed Lemon.
"I feel the outrage in the Alton deal
most keenly,' continued the Senator, "be
cause the road runs through my own
town. It was a fine property, hut it
has been drained dry and the bondholders
must suffer from the despoiling of 'the
road simply to gratify the looting pro
clivities of Mr. Harriman. Having lined
his pockets by looting the property and
disposing of the bonds for several mil
lions of dollars to innocent purchasers,
I do not suppose he cares what becomes
of this particular line, or any other which
he has exploited. The whole business is
simply outrageous. -
Valuation of Railroads.
"The problem of getting a valuation of
railroad properties for guidance to further
legislation is going to be a hard- one to
deal with. In this matter of valuation
there is a staggering task. If. as pro
posed, the work be attempted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, it will
require millions of dollars and be beset
with many obstacles. We also will have

port that Mayor Tom I. Johnson of

Bryan said he had not decided whether

Regarding the railroad situation, Mr.
Bryan expressed the opinion that the
first stop toward reform was to ascertain
the value of the railroads, since a rea

give a reasonable return on a legitimate
investment, and at present no one knew
what thft railroads really were worth.

DECIDE ON SANITY MONDAY
7udge Fiterald Hears Opinion of
Experts That Thaw Is Incurable
Paranoiac Delmas Blamed
for Calling Hamilton.
NEW YORK. March 21.-District Attor
ney Jerome today presented- to Justice
Fitzgerald ' eight affidavits in support of
the suggestion he made yesterday in the
case of H. K. Thaw, that the defendant
I now in such a mental state as to be
incapable of understanding the proceed
ings against him or making his defense.
Court was in session for less than an
hour, Mr. Delmas for the defense stat
ing that their answer to the District
Attorney's proposition was not ready.
Justice Fitzgerald allowed both sides un
til Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock to
file such affidavits as they desired. There
will be no further heading in the matter
of the appointment of a lunacy commis
sion unless Justice Fitzgerald so directs.
Neither the jury nor Thaw was in court
today. The jury had been excused until
tomorrow morning at 10:10 o'clock. There
will be a brief session at that time and
a formal adjournment until Monday
morning, which was announced. Monday
Justice Fitzgerald. is expected to be ready
to announce his decision.
Hamilton's Opinion Excluded.
Mr. JeVome pleaded today for permis
sion to examine Dr. Allan McLane Ham
ilton orally, but in the absence of a )
walvt-r vt pvffrsfvaJ privilege .on U.a
part of the defense Justice Fitzgerald
jaid -he would not allow -the-doctor to be
examined further at this time. Justice
Fitzgerald added significantly that he
would take judicial notice of everything
which had been adduced in evidence dur
ing the nine weeks of the trial. Dr.
Hamilton, it will be remembered, yester
day testified that in his opinion Thaw is
not at present capable of directing his
defense.
The refusal of Justice Fitzgerald" to
allow Dr. Hamilton to be interrogated in
the proceedings to enlighten the con
science of the court as to appointing a
commission was interpreted in various
ways by those in court today. The at
taches of the District Attorney's office
were inclined to the belief that, Dr.
Hamilton having already stated his opin
ion to Justice Fitzgerald, the latter
deemed it unnecessary to precipitate an
argument as to the waiving of profes
sional privelege. The defense seemed in
clined to the view that Justice Fitzgerald
had held Dr. Hamilton's evidence coiild
not be taken into consideration and that
consequently the District Attorney's posi
tion was materially weakened. Dr. Ham
ilton" was first called into the case by
Thaw's lawyers, and it was while he
was in their company that he had made
the examination of the defendant. Under
the law ho cannot testify unless under
an express waiver from the man who was
his patient.
Opinions of Seven Experts.
Mr. Jerome's affidavits submitted today
embraced the opinion of his seven ex
perts who have heretofore testified and
a statement by Irwin S. Cobb, a news-
paper reporter,' who gave the text of the I
statement which was issued at the con
clusion of Mr. Jerome's long and severe
cross-examiriation of Ejvelyn Nesbit
Thaw.
Mr. Jerome in presenting his affidavits
called particular attention to the one
signed by Dr. Carlos MacDonald. who
declares he is firmly convinced that Thaw
is suffering from paranoia and that while
he knew enough to . realize the nature
and quality of his act when he shot
Stanford White, lie is now and foT some
time past has been incapable of under
standing the proceedings against him.
Thaw's Comment on Jerome.
Mr. Cobb In his affidavit sets forth the
facta connected with Thaw's dramatic
manner of issuing his statement concern
ing Mr. Jerome's cross-examination of
Evelyn Thaw. All these facts were nar
rated at the time the insistence of Tiiaw
that the reporter should sign and seal
an envelope containing the original of
the statement and compare the original
with the typewritten copies which were
subsequently handed to him for distribu
tion among the other newspaper nen
at the trial.
Mr. Jerome occupied most of the time
today in a personal explanation of the
reasons which had hindered him from

earlier calling the attention of the court
to Thaw's present stale of mind. He
said he .ha.d long .been, convinced that the
defendant was of unsound mind, but he
had no way of legally bringing the at
tention of the court to the matter until
Dr. Hamilton was put on the stand by
the defense.
Mr. Delmas declined again to waive
any privilege with regard to Dr. Hamil
ton on the ground that, if the District
Attorney's contention as to the" present
Insanity of the defendant is sound, his
lawyers have no right to waive anything
for a lunatic.
TIjrw's Counsel Disagree.
It has been rumored all day that Mr.
Delmas would not be in court this after
noon because of the attitude assumed
by some of his associate counsel yester
daj". AH the attorneys were present,
-however, when Justice Fitzgerald took
his place on the bench. Mr. Delmas also
was heard by Justice Fitzgerald. Twice
Mr. Hartridge attempted to .enter the
argument, but was rapped down by the
Judge.-
Thaw had a conference in the Tombs
today with A. R. Peabody. of his counsel,
over the question whether Thaw should
be permitted to hear the argument over
the appointment of a lunacy commission.
Thaw wanted his counsel to assure him
that he would be allowed to attend the
hearing In court this afternoon, but Mr.
Peabody did not promise him the desired
permission. . ,
John B. Gleason, of counsel "for Thaw,
said today that Mr. Delmas is responsible
if a commission is appointed, as it was
he who called Dr. Allan McLane Hamil
ton to the stand and told Mr. Jerome
to go ahead and ask the witness any
thing he wished to. Mr. Delmas. said he
would gladly assume all responsibility. '

WASHINGTON. March 16. (Special
Correspondence.) While George Washing
ton, a devout church-goer, worshipped In
many churches In the United States, only
one has the distinction of having been de
signed by him. This is Pohick Church,
about seven miles from Mount Vernon.
He gave both money and labor to ii-s
building and was vestryman there for a
long whHe. It was begun in 1764 and fin
ished in 1773. During a part of the last
century it was in decay, but history-loving
people will save it from further dis
solution.. It was in this church that the
eccentric Mason Weems preached. Weems
was 'the biographer of Washington who
is accused of manufacturing the cherry
tree story, yet whose book was immense
ly popular and still has a good .tale.
Washington also had a membership in
Christ Church, Alexandria, the best pre
served of all the old Virginia fanes. Here .
the first President paid the highest price
for a pew, and this has been kept by
some member of his family ever since.
It was in this churchyard that Washing
ton and his neighbors gathered on Sun
day mornings in 1771 and gravely dis
cussed the advisability . of revolting
against England. . It was here that he
came nine years later, ' Hie ""conquering
hero., the retired leader of a victorious,
army, and 'worshipped as simply and as
quietly as any other citizen.
Gave Thanks for Victory.
On the receipt of the news that the
Bfitisli Army had retired from 'America,
a greut service of thanksgiving was held
in Christ Church. Wreaths and mottoes
adorned the wall and the minister
preached from the text, "Tea, thou shalt
see thy children's children and peace upon
Israel." ' The decorations were kept in
place until Washington's return m time
for the Christmas celebration the next
week. The church was kept open for
dally prayer during the period of the
War of 1M2. while the English ships
swung at anchor at the .wharves demand
ing all the city's portable property for
its ransom. Perhaps the prayers saved
it, for the vessels eventually drew away '
without damage to the town. Christ
Church seems to have had an early
faith in the executive ability of wompn,
for two of the early sextons were wom
en, marching sedately . down the aisles
and locking the pew doors with all the
dignity of their masculine predecessors.
This church was said to have been de
signed by one James Wren, a descendant
of Sir Christopher .Wren.
Modern Vicar of Brar.
Washington also held membership in
Falls Church, a little further up. the
river. On account of its lying between
the lines in the Civil War. the rector was
in continual doubt as to whether it would
be safest to pray Tor "the President of
the United States" or "the President of
the Confederate States," as the prayer
books of the opposing factions decreed.
So he wisely substituted "the Governor
of Virginia" and so saved himself from
suspicion and possible arrest. The King
of England was himself interested in th
building of this little church, the brick
for which was brought over from Lon
don. 1
The present Old North Church in Bos
ton is the successor to the one in which
Paul Revere is said to have hung his sig
nal lights on that April night of long ago.
The first sermon" was preached In the old
church in 160o. but the edifice was demol
ished by the British because it harbored -"a
nst of traitors." It was from the pul
pit of the present church that the first
crusade against liquor in ttiis country was
begun, the leader being Henry Ware.
Kmerson was a member of this congrega
tion. .

St. James' Kpisoopal Church. Goose
Creek. South Carolina, has tlie distinction
of being not only the oldest church in
South Carolina, but the only one in which
hatchments still hang on the wall back
of the pulpit. It was a custom long ago
to carry the hatchments of the dead on
their cofnns and then place them among
the church memorials. In this church
the armorial bearings are those of tha
Izard family. The present church build
ing was erected in 1714 and the British
coat of arms is still on the wall. It has
been preserved so far by the fund be
queathed it by the Rev. Richard Ludlow,'
an early rector. It was In this church
that daring Archie Campbell, a British
officer,, calmly held a pistol in the face
of the patriot rector 125 years ago and

with whom he had eloped.
