RUEF LOSES T
IN THREE POINTS
Biggy to Draw Jury Panel, but
Special Venire Is
Denied.
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. Slot machine petty grafting,
charged by the prosecution against Mayor
Schmitz and some of his administration
agents. Is also scheduled for further In
vestigation tomorrow.

EVACUATIONJS COMPLETE
Russia and Japan Faithfully Execute
Treaty of Portsmouth.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15. 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.

TOKIO, April 15. The work of with

preciation of the fact In a note to the
Japanese government. Baron Goto, to the

churian Railway was transferred April
1, said today:
I "The last vestige of war in Manchuria

BACKED BY LETTERS
Evelyn Thaw Will Again Tell
Story for Defense.
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.

Born Alive Father Called Be
fore District Attorney.
ROSEBURG, Or., April 15. (Special.)
The Conorer's jury in the case of a dead
child found between Myrtle Creek and
Riddle, south of this place, resulted in
finding the child had been born alive, and
not dead, as stated. In arriving at this
conclusion, the jury was assisted by Doc
tors Seeley and Houck. who performed an
autopsy at the request of the District
Attorney.
It is .said the husband of the woman
hunted through the train for a doctor,
but none was on the train, so Dr. Kirk
patrick was called at Myrtle Creek and
rendered the aid he could, but did not go
with the woman. In' a few moments
thereafter the child was born. In the car
lavatory, and thrown through the flush
ing trap. The parents came on to Rose
burg and another doctor was' called, who
attended the woman. The couple then
proceeded to Portland. The child was a
male, perfectly formed and weighed about
six pounds.
The father of the child is here, having
been subpenaed by the District Attorney.
Whether or not a charge of infanticide
will be lodged against one or both of .the
parents cannot be learned.
Mrs. H. Nash, said to be the mother of
the infant whose death is alleged to have
been caused by being thrown from a
Southern Pacific train near Myrtle Creek,
Or., last Saturday morning, is occupying
a room at the Good Samaritan Hospital.
She was resting well last night, and is
said to be rapidly recovering from her
illness. Her husband was with her until
l .Simiiav, when he lelt for. Roseburg, -where
j a Coroner's jury .yesterday declared the
baby was alive when thrown from the
train.
Although it was stated in a dispatch
that a charge of manslaughter will prob
ably be brought against the parents.

night that he has received no word about
the case from the Roseburg officials, and
has had no. word whatever on the matter.

R. AV. McCormick, of Taconia, Is
Picked Out as Candidate for
United States Senator.
TACOMA, Wash., April 15. (Special.)
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

at East Sixth street and Millard avenue,
in Sellwood, was totally destroyed by fire
about 9:30 o'clock last night, and the oc

An overturned lamp is believed to have
been the cause of the fire.
A still- alarm was sent to fire head
quarters, but in responding the firemen
were unable to get within striking dis
tance of the house with their lines of
hose, owing to the remoteness of the
water hydrants.

FISHING SEASON - OPENS
SEASON WILL BE JjATE NO BIG
CATCHES EXPECTED SOON.
Two Astoria Men Arrested and Fined
Because They Fish Three Hours.
Too Soon.
ASTORIA, Or., April 15. (Special.) The
Spring fishing season on the Columbia
River opened at noon today, and while
the usual number of gillnetters started
out this afterroon and evening, it is not
expected any of the packing plants will
begin operations before Wednesday. The
season is expected to be a late one,
owing to the continued cold weather, and
no large catches are anticipated for some
time. The same canneries and cold stor
age plants' will be operated as last year,
but later in the season there will proba
bly be more gear in operation.
The decision of Federal Judge Wolver
ton will permit the Sacramento fishermen
to come here without restriction, and a
number of companies have been organized
to operate purse seines In the lower har
bor. That class of gear is prohibited by
the Oregon laws, but allowed under the
statutes of Washington, so all operators
have to do is to secure licenses from
Washington In order to be free from mo
lestation. Anton Zankich and Joe Greget. two gill
netters, were arrested by Water Bailiff
Settem for fishing in the waters of the
Columbia River at 9 o'clock this morning,
three hours before the opening of the
Spring season. The men were caught in
the Westport Slough, where they were
making drifts. In the Justice Court this
afternoon both pleaded giilty and were
fined $50 and costs each, which they paid.
This morning Deputy Fish Commissioner
Burton, of Washington, arrested four gill
netters who were Ashing in the Woody

MEN HELD UP IN SALOON
Proprietor and a Guest Give Over
What Cash They Have.
Two burglaries and the holdup 'of a
saloon were reported to the police last
night, but each affair was performed by
different highwaymen.
Some time yesterday afternoon burglars
entered the home of Mrs. J. L. Wigle, at
508 Stephens street, while the family was
absent. The booty secured by the thief
consisted of about $3 in small coin in
the trousers pocket of Mr. Wigle's broth
er. The Intruder gained entrance through
a window on the front veranda.
At midnight two masked highwaymen
entered the saloon of T. J. Uhlman, at
Tenth and Flanders streets, and held up
the proprietor and H. S. Britt, one of the
patrons of the resort, and relieved the
proprietor of tlO in silver, all the money
ne had in the till at the time. The men
are described as being tall and short, the
former being about 6 feet in height and
wore a long, black overcoat, while the
shorter' of the two was 'about 5 feet 8
inches tall, and wore a gray check suit
of cheap clothing.
Both men wore white muslin masks and
carried blue barreled revolvers. They were
evidently not familiar with the location,
for yesterday morning Uhlman had con
siderable money on hand for the purpose
of cashing checks for patrons who re
ceived pay on the 15th of the month. Uhl
man and Brltt stated that the two men
apoke very little, and acted quietly and
appeared to be gentle in manner, for they
used no. profanity in the course of their
operation. Detective Price, who was sent
to investigate, announced that he believes
the holdup men were negroes and thinks
they are new men at the business.

est and longest earthquake shock record
ed upon the seismograph at the State
Museum here since the Instrument was
Installed began at 1:14 A. M. today and
continued for more than two hours. The

parts of the world."
The first indication of the disturbance

"WEAKNESS"
We not only cure "weakness" promptly, but we employ the only
treatment that can possibly cure the disorder permanently. It is a
system of treatment entirely original with us.
This may seem a broad assertion, but it is just as substantial ajl it
is broad. So-called "weakness" "is but a symptom of local trouble
or congestion, and a radical cure is merely a matter of restoring
normal conditions throughout the organic system, and this we accom
plish thoroughly and with absolute certainty.

der, with resultant kidney affections, drains and losses, receive most
skillful expert -treatment, and a perfect and permanent cure is guar
anteed in every case taken. Our method of treating those compli
cated ailments is painless and without resort to surgery. The affect
ed centers are soon restored to their natural vigor and vitality, and
the patient made strong and healthy.
