CASE MAY LAST LONG TIME Prosecution Explains How Long Im paneling of Jury May Take. Grand Jury to Finish Tele- -phone Inquiry Today. SAN FRANCISCO. April 15. For the eccnd time since the trial of Abraham Ruef for extortion was begun, Superior Judpe Dunne today formally disqualified the Sheriff and Coroner of San Francisco is unfitted by bias, prejudice and personal Interest to perform any of the functions of the former's office in connection with this trial and for the second time ap pointed and administered the oaith to William Blffgy as elisor. Mr. Bigfty is now charged not only with the custody of Ruef whom he keeps under heavy guard in a Fillmore-street boarding house -but also with the summoning of the Jury when it shall have been selected and sworn. Heney 'Wins Two In Three. In the course of "today's proceedings both the defense and the prosecution scored Important points under the rulings of Judge Dunne. The prosecution sub mitted three motions: For the disquali ncation of Sheriff O'Neil and Coroner Walsh as officials prejudiced in favor of Ruef: for 'the issuing of a special venire, and for the appointment of an elisor to summon it. Against the motions the de fense objected with much spirit and was sustained by the court on one point. Judge Dunne refused at this time to order a special venire, holding that there appeared no good reason why an ordinary venire should not be summoned from the Jury list on which 1476 names remained. Fifty slips were accordingly drawn from the trial Jury wheel, and Mr. Biggy was directed to have the new venire in court Wednesday morning. Lifetime to Try Ruef Charges. In arguing for a special venire on the ground that it could be obtained more quickly than an ordinary venire, Special Prosecutor Johnson remarked that it has taken more time to examine the 14 tales men thus far interrogated in this case than was occupied In getting the Thaw or Durant Jury. There are now nine pro bationary Jurors in the box. that num ber of--talesmen having passed the quali fication tests. When three more have taken their seats from among the 60 to be summoned by Biggy the peremptory challenges will be exercised. Of these the defense is entitled to ten and the prosecution to Ave. So the whole 12 may be told to stand aside. In this event, it is reckoned, at least two more weeks would be consumed in getting a Jury to try the indicted poli tical boss on the five counts of extortion In which he la accused Jointly with Mayor Sehmlts of having "held up" the French restaurateurs for large sums of money upon .threat to take away their liquor licenses. The. extortion cases disposed of, Ruef faces trial on 66 grand Jury indictments charging bribery in connection with the awarding of public service franchises by the Supervisors. , . One Juror Excused. Juror Duffy was excused from further service. He presented a physician's cer tificate stating his physical disability. The cases pending In Judge Lawlors court against Supervisor L. P. Nichols for alleged grafting and against Peter Duffy for perjury were today deferred by con sent to May 6 for trial. The postpone ment was purely formal, as it is under stood that the District Attorney's office will not proceed in these matters until the Ruef-Schmitz trials are ended. Finish Telephone Inquiry. No meeting of the grand Jury was held today. At tomorrow's session It is hoped to conclude the Investigation of the Home and Pacific States Telephone matters. Five more Indictments are under consid eration as a result of alleged bribery by the Home Telephone Company of San Francisco and three more on a like score against officials of the Pacific States cor poration.

The ex piration of the 18 months' limit for the evacuation of Manchuria by the Russian and Japanese troops was -marked by the nomination today of Russian consuls at Kirin and Tsltsihar, the last two towns In Manchuria to pass from Russian hands to the Chinese. The evacuation by the Russian troops was completed March 21. almost a month ahead of the specified date. A Foreign Office, official, commenting today on Russia's premature withdrawal, said: "It is a complete Justification of Russian good faith in fulfilling the treaty. It was Insinuated when the treaty was signed that Russia would never abandon Man churia, but would find some means of evading her objections. But the expira tion of the stipulated period finds not a single soldier of the Russian army left in Manchuria. The railroad guards; ap proximately 8000 as provided for by the treaty, are commanded by General Chlca goff and are attached to the Ministry of Railroads and not to the War Ministry. The functions of the guards are confined strictly to the railroad. Th nnHino- nt he country and the repression of the Chi nese oanaits nave been turned over to the Chinese troops. "Though the final results of the Russian negotiations with China for the re-establishment of the Chinese custom houses and with Japan for treaties of commerce and fisheries, which will carry out the Portsmouth treaty, having not been at tained, both negotiations are proceeding satisfactorily." Count Witte. the negotiator of the Portsmouth treaty, has now withdrawn almost entirely from political life, except in the minor role as a member of the Council of the Empire. When questioned regarding the evacuation of Manchuria, he said he was out of touch with diplo matic affairs, but the prompt evacuation of the Chinese territory was no surprise to him. Dispatches from Petersburg, Tokio and Pekin show that the evacuation of Man churia by the Russians and Japanese, as agreed to under the Portsmouth treaty, and the re-possesslon of that vast domain by China has been accomplished under the terms of the agreement between Rus sia and Japan fixing yesterday. April 16, as the limit of time for the final actual transfer. CHIXESE STEP IXTO CO.VTROL Xew Officials Installed as Fast as Japanese Depart. PEKIN, April 15. The . Russian and Japanese troops have now completely evacuated Manchuria, according to terms of the treaty of Portsmouth, retaining only a certain number of railway guards. All military movements have ceased and the Manchurian towns, etc., which were under Russian and Japanese contrai have been returned to the Chinese authorities. Since the handing over of Mukden to the Chinese, the evacuation of Manchuria by the Japanese had been going on gradual ly, the Chinese local authorities stepping in and taking over the administration of the places evacuated by the Japanese. Chinese troops had already departed from Heilungklang to replace the garrisons of the towns evacuated by the Russians. China's note to Japan, expressing her hearty appreciation of the complete with drawal of the Japanese troops from Manchuria, gives emphatic assurances that the Chinese government will shortly proceed with the reorganization of the aununistration or Alancnurlan provinces. It is understood that Hsu Chin Kiang, who has been selected to be first viceroy of Manchuria, will , be given special powers to that end.

O'REILLY IN FULL CHARGE Thaw Changes Lawyers and 'Will Rest Case on Insanity Plea Sus tained hy the Letter of White to His Wife. NEW YORK, April IS. "If another trial Is held, it has been agreed that the same line of defense as that used in the first trial will be followed. Evelyn Thaw will tell -her story again, but her testi mony will be greatly strengthened by documentary evidence that was not used before." This is the statement credited to Daniel O'Reilly, of Harry K. Thaw's counsel, tonight. It has been reported that Mr. O'Reilly would be chief of the defense when the trial is called again, but this report was not confirmed today, -and it was even stated semi-officially that none of the lawyers who- officiated at the last trial had been dispensed with by Thaw. On the other hand, it was said that sev eral of them have been paid the stipu lated fees, and, while there would not be a formal announcement of their dis missal by Thaw, they would not reappear in the case. As to Mr. O'Reilly's reference to docu mentary evidence, it was said tonight that he referred to letters written to Evelyn Nesbit 'by Stanford White. After a consultation with Thaw Mr. O'Reilly said the defense at the second trial will be practically the same as that offered at first insanity of the de fendant at the time of the shooting. He said while the alienists called as witnesses by the prosecution at the first trial had admitted that Thaw was medically insane, the District Attorney had contended he was not legally Insane. The defense at the next trial will be prepared to prove, according to Mr. O'Reilly, that Thaw was then legally insane also. Called Down Delmas. Delphin M. Delmas, who led the fight at the recent trial, it Is said, has severed his connection with the case. In this con nection a story of the remarkable pro ceedings of Thaw at a critical period of his trial Is published here today. The story relates that, when the trial was re sumed after the report of the lunacy commission Mr. Delmas called Dr. Ham ilton to the witness stand to have him testify as to Thaw's mental condition when the murder was committed. He was Just about to question him when he received a note from Thaw which read: "You are no longer in charge of my case." Delmas secured the court's permis sion to confer with his client, the story states, and when he asked Thaw what the note meant. Thaw is said to have replied: "It means Just what It says. You are not going to make those men testify that I am insane. 1 am -sane and you know it. You are no longer in charge of my case.'" Mr. Delmas then asked Thaw for per mission to withdraw, but his request was refused. Mr. Delmas, under the - law, could not voluntarily retire from the case and Thaw having told him that he (Thaw) was the leading counsel in his own case, Mr. Delmas askeQ what he wished done. "I want you to take Dr. Hamilton off the stand and begin to sum up before the Jury, was the reply. Mr. Delmas attempted to reason with Thaw, but he was immovable, and there upon announced that the defendant rested his case, and Dr. Hamilton was excused without testifying. Will Move for Ball. Mr. O'Reilly will move within a week to have Thaw released on bail, and he says he expects to succeed. Thaw today received a handsome cane made of layers of various kinds of skins, highly polished, with a silver handle mounted with pearls. It was sent to the prisoner by F. Rr Moore, of Yuma, Ariz. The package in which the cane was wrapped bore an inscription reading: "We all vote for your acquittal., "WELLS-FARGO BOYS." Another Statement From Nesbit. PITTSBURG, April 15. In a sworn statement Howard Nesbit, brother of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, denied that he wrote that portion of his letter made pub lic in New York last Saturday which reads: "Perhaps I was wrong In" coming here,, but my parents are responsible for that." In his affidavit young Nesbit avers that the above formed no part of the letter he write to Harry Thaw. This statement, he said.- is made to ex onerate his parents from the implied charge of instigating him to go to New York as a witness against Thaw. F NEWLY-BORN BABE WAS LEFT TO PERISH.

The insurgent faction in the Republican party at the banquet given to State Sena tor Condon at the Union Club here Satur day night made a bid for the assistance of Governor Mead In the attempts to shelve Lieutenant-Governor Charles Coon and Senator Levi Ankeny by declaring for the renomlnation and election of the Governor. In the little heart-to-heart talks before the banquet it is said the Senatorial ques tion was gone over carefully and that it developed that a scheme is being hatched to quietly slip R. W. McCormick, of Tacoma, into the shoes now worn bj Mr. Ankeny. The plan is to gefc, the McCormick deal all fixed up before the people generally find out what Is up, so as to head off any opposition that might develop locally. While McCormick has many friends here, especially in corporation circles, it is thought by politicians that if Tacoma is to get a Senator the people at large here would prefer to select a more representa tive man. Congressman Cushman and some othel citizens nearer the people have been sug gested along this line. WIDOW'S NARROW ESCAPE Upsets Lamp and Barely Gets Out of Her House in Time.
