RUEF WON'T SHARE
ROOM WITH
MAYOR
Raved When Told of
Schmitz' Coming.
PUT BOTH IN SAME HOUSE
Executive May Be Ordered Into
Custody of Biggy.
"CAPTIVE IN OWN HOME
Curly Boss Says Fiddler Will Have
to Stay Downstairs He Thinks
Treasure Room Appropri
ate Prison Cell.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 19. (Special.)
Should an order be issued, as pre
dicted, which will place Mayor Schmitz
In the custody of a special elisor, he
will become the charge of William J.'
Biggy, who has acted as Ruefs cus
todian since the Incarceration of the
boss. In this event, Schmitz would be
come a captive in his former residence
where Ruef is now under gaurd. It is
this contingency which has already ex
cited Ruef to angrer. When he heard
the report today that the Mayor was
to share his prison, Ruef spoke his
mind with unwonted freedom.
"I don't want that damned fool
around here," exclaimed Ruef. "Things
are bad enough as they are without
bringing him here. Well, if he comes
he'll have to stay downstairs, I don't
want him around my room."
Then Ruef began to jest. "I suppose
they ought to give Gene his old room
with the treasure chest," said Ruef.
"Maybe he won't need the chest: but it
will remind him of the old days."
Mayor Schmitz replied In kind to the
assertions of Ruef. He called Ruef "a
man of small mentality," and insinuated
that all the evil acts of his administra
tion were the work of Ruef, while the
few good deeds were his own.
Schmitz was in conference today-wlth
hiB attorneys. He has added to his legal
staff C. H. Kalrall of Stockton and J. C.
Mansfield of Boston. Mansfield de
fended Tucker In the famous Boston
murder case a year ago. He will reach
the Coast in a few days to assist in the
defense of Schmitz.
' The prosecution has made all ar
rangements to answer "ready" when
the Schmitz case is called tomorrow.
The preliminary maneuvers will be con
ducted for the prosecution by Attorney
Hiram Johnson. He will examine tales
men, while District Attorney Langdon
and Francis J. Heney are busy with the
grand Jury.
After Judge Dunne passes on the affi
davit of prejudice, the examination of
talesmen will be begun. The defense
will pursue the same wide range of
questioning as Attorney Henry Ach em
ployed when defending Ruef. The spe
cific charge on which Schmitz will be
placed on trial Is extortion of the sum
of $1175 from Delmonico's restaurant.
The chief witnesses against the Mayor
will be the restaurant proprietors, the
members of the Police Commission and
Abe Ruef. The case is regarded by the
prosecution as extremely strong.
No announcement has been made by
the prosecution as to the plan it will
pursue In case the Mayer is ordered
Into custody. Should the Mayor resign,
the Supervisors will elect his succes
sor. Should he refuse to resign com
plications would ensue.
6CHMITZ OX TRIAL TODAl'J
Court Proceedings Will Be Similar to
Those Fsed in Ruef Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 19.-Eugene E.
gchmltz. Mayor of San Francisco will be
placed on trial in Superior Judge Dunne's
Court tomorrow on the charge of extort
ing money from French restaurant
keepers. The charge is similar to the one
to which Abraham Ruef pleaded guilty
last week. The state code provides that
the trial Judge, may at the beginning of
a trial order the defendant, although
under a bond placed In custody. The
matter rests entirely in the discretion, of
the courts. It is Btated that the prose
cution will ask Judge Dunne to order
Mayor Schmitz Into -the custody of an
elisor. This will be seriously opposed
by the Mayor's attorneys.
The committee of seven business men
to whom Mayor Schmitz has given full
power to cope with the peculiar situation
V brought about In municipal affairs by the
developments In the graft investigation
will meet tomorrow. An invitation has
been extended to a- number of labor lead
ers to be present with suggestions. The
committee has' issued a declaration of
principles In which It says:
We Intend to bring about a clean condi
tion of affairs In this community and make
It saf for habitation by human beings and
for the Investment of capital.
We shall do nothing- In the naturs of
class legislation and recognize that every
element In the community has a right to
representation in the government of the
city. '
MARKET NEVER SO STRONG
Last Week's Scenes in the Chicago
Wheat Pit One Vnprecedented.
CHICAGO, May 19. The past week, with
its "dollar wheat," has been a historic
one- In th aanaU. of the, Chicago Board
of Trade. Statistics on the quantity of
wheat which changed hands -are not ob
tainable, but assertions of veteran trad
ers that the volume of business was of
unprecedented proportions nay be safely
accepted.
There have been many wild sessions in
the wheat pit before, notably when "cor
ners" were being run, when prices fluctu
ated more violently when small cllqu'

tunes, but never before has there been a
broader or better sustained general mar

a larger business.
For more than a week, when the rest
of the city was asleep, the lights In the
brokerage offices were ablaze while clerks
were working Into the small hours trying
to keep track of the business done. Hard

fcHOSHOXE SHERIFF ARRIVES
Former Officer Important State Wit
ness in Trial of Haywood.
BOISE. Idaho, May 19. Several of the
more important witnesses summoned in
behalf of the state in the trial of William
D. Hayw.ood, for alleged participation in
the assassination of ex-Governor Steunen-
berg. arrived at Boise today.
The prosecution hoped by this time that
a trial Jury would have been Impaneled,
but It Is now evident that all 12 seats in
the Jury box will not be satisfactorily
filled for several' days. When court ad
journed Saturday afternoon the attor
neys for the prosecution and defense were
trying to fill a vacancy caused by the
exercise of the state's fifth peremptory
challenge. The defense still has six of
its ten. arbitrary challenges available
and the state, under the new Idaho law,
has five more challenges to its credit.
Formerly the prosecution was allowed
only one-half the number of peremptory
challenges granted the defense.
The work of Jury selection will be taken
up again tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Only 26 members of the special venire of
100 remain and there is wide speculation
as to whether or not the trial panel will
be completed before the talesmen are
reached. If it is there will be a delay of
several days while Sheriff Hodgln and his
deputies are rounding up a net of men
from the county.
Perhaps the most interesting of the
state's witnesses who arrived today was
ex-Sheriff Angus Sutherland, of Shoshone
County. A Scotchman by birth, but a
pioneer of the American Farwest, Mr.
Sutherland Is quiet, unassuming, modest,
typical of the steel-nerved men of the
law and order days of the frontier. He Is
intimate, with the Coeur d' AJene. troubles

NOT SQUARE DEAL, SAYS BELL
He Would Ha-e Moyer-Hay'nrood
Tried in State of Colorado.
DENVER. May 19. General Sherman M.
Bell, who commanded the state troops in
the trouble with the Cripple Creek Miners'
Union under the administration of Gov
ernor Peabody, has not been called In
either side In the Haywood trial at Boise.
though he knows of much of the Inside
history' of the Western Federation of
Miners.
"I shall not appear aB a witness," said
General Bell today, "except of my own
volition, but if any attempt to Job the
Jury or any attempt to use me as a tool
by either the Western Federation of Min
ers or the Mine Owners, I give notice now
that I shall take a hand. Why sho'uld
they try these men in Idaho? During the
troubles here and before the murder of
Steunenberg, there were 75 persons killed
In Colorado; and yet they take men from
Colorado to Idaho to try them for crimes
committed In Colorado. Why don't they
try them here? Is It because they are
afraid?
"The whole thing Is is a farce. It is un
fair and un-American. I detest the prin
ciples of Moyer and Haywood, but I think
they should get a square deal, and if you
take men from a state where the alleged
crimes were committed to a place sup
posedly hostile to them in another state.
I don t call it a square deal.
BOMB STORY PROVES A FAKE
Nam pa Authorities Find It Started
From Vtterance of Excited Crank.
BOISE, Ida., May 19. (Special.) The
officers of the town of Nampa have
been excited for several days over an
alleged bomb factory there. They
thought they had track of a man who
who was making infernal machines,
dynamite for which was being stolen
from contractors on the Boise-Payette
Irrigation works.
It simmers down to an utterance of
a crank, who seems to have become
violent by reading the Appeal to Rea
son and other like papers, and has
been hinting that something was on
foot for blowing up a lot of people con
nected with the prosecution of the
Haywood case. He is being watched;
but it is not believed he is connected
With any plan to commit violence.-
Bulkley Wells, former Adjutant-
General of Colorado, has arrived to ap
pear as a witness for the state in the
Haywood case. . It was he who led the
party that dug up the bomb at the
gate of Judge Goddard at Denver, the
planting of which had been told of by
Harry Orchard. It is supposed he will
be called upon to tell It to the Jury, hi
testimony being Introduced for the pur
pose of establishing Orchard's credi
bility.
Former Sheriff Angus Sutherland of
Shoshone County Ij another arrival,
together with Bailey, the present'
Sheriff. Sutherland was at the scene
at Caldwell soon after the murder of
Governor Steunenberg. and was the
first to recognize" Harry Orchard,
though for a time' he could not' recall
his name.

PUEBLO, Colo., May 19. A knowledge

life of George Stuart, a messenger boy
employed In the Minnequa office building,
who was accidentally locked in a steel
vault yesterday. Stuart tapped a wire

extra instrument which he found in the

RAIN FALLS OVER

Downpour.

Continue to Grow stead
ily After Present Soaking.
COLFAX, Wash., May 19. (Special.) A
rain which will be worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the Palouae
country fell last night and tonight. The
rain, which had been threatening for two
days, began falling gently about dark
and continued all night. Increasing in
volume until about midnight, when It
was coming down in torrents. It de
creased toward morning until It was a
gentle drizzle again, and gradually ceased
about 8 o'clock. The total rainfall last
night was nearly ha4f an inch and It was
distributed evenly over the entire Palouse
country. Tonight there is a downpour
that clinches matters.
Reports from all sections show that
the rainfall was general and that it came
at the time to do the greatest amount
of good. In Western Whitman County
Spring-sown wheat Is up and several
Inches high. This was needing rain to
keep It growing steadily. In Eastern
Whitman County much of the grain' was
not yet up and would not come up with
out rain. The rainfall of last night will
bring this up evenly and there is suf
ficient moisture In the grqund to keep it
growing. While the top of the ground
was quite dry and In many, cases a hard
cru4t had formed, the ground is wet two
inches beneath the surface and the rain
was merely needed to soften and dampen
the surface. Farmers are Jubilant. The
prospects for a big yield of grain have
seldom been better and the Indications
point to higher prices than have prevailed
for several yeajs.

A rain that will probably mean over $100,

continues will more than make up for the
loss caused by the continued dry and hot
condition of the weather for the past
week. A further examination into the
condition of the fruit crop reveals the fact
that while much loss will result from the
freeze two weeks ago, the crop is by no
means an entire loss. In several cases
only a part of the peaches are gone, and
there will In most Instances be an extra
large crop of other fruit.

MED FORD, Or.. May 19. (Special.)
While rushing to the relief of a de
railed freight train near. Tolo this
morning, the Southern Pacific wreck
ing outfit from Roseburg was ditched
near Woodville. No one was killed In
either derailment, but the main line of
the- Southern Pacific was closed all day
and traffic is not expected to resume

A wrecker was first sent to the scene
of the Tolo wreck from Ashland, but

light nnd was sent back, the Roseburg
outfit being ordered out. The first de
railment was that of a light train run
ning east, whose crew was filling
water barrels.
The double derailment on the South
ern Oregon division of the Southern
Pacific blocked passenger trains due
here last night, and train Nov 14, due at
11:30 P. M., will not arrive until late

ness the event and to convey the honor
and esteem in which they hold the mem
ory of the man whose body was laid
to rest In the churchyard of St. John's
Catholic Church nearly 50 years ago.
More than BOO people surrounded the
temporary speakers' stand, and listened
to eloquent addresses by leading men of
the state, and although seven speeches
were made they were brief and the
crowd did not tire. The , members of
Meade Post, Grand Army of the Republic,
attended In a body as a courtesy to
Father Sherman, who Is a missionary
priest of the Society of Jesus, and a
son of the late General William T. Sher
man, who led the famous march from
Atlanta to the sea during the War of
the Rebellion. -
Speaker's Stand Draped in Flags.
Seated upon the platform were Mrs.
Eva Emery Dye, author of "McLoughlin
and Old Oregon"; J. . C. Sawyer, com
mander of Meade Post, G. A. R-. and
other well-known people, including the
speakers of the day. The scene was en
livened by numerous American flags that
covered the speakers' stand,- and a huge
ensign of the United States formed a
background for a large framed picture
of the grand old man in whose honor the
ceremonies were held.
Rev. A. Hillebrand. pastor of the St,
John's Catholic Church, Introduced the
speakers and had charge of the arrange,
ments. Father Hillebrand, who has been
in. this city for 19 years, was In a Joyous
mood over the culmination of his un
tiring efforts to build a lasting memorial
to-.McLoughlin. The establishment of the
school Is due to his energy and Industry
In the cause of education. In opening
the ceremonies he said:
The Institute of which the cornerstone has
been laid today by our beloved archbishop
Is the first enduring monument to a man
whose statue should be In the hall of
fame at the National Capitol at Washing-'
ton. We believe in erecting monuments to
people, but monuments that will last. What
better name could we have given to an edu
cational Institution than that of John Mc
laughlin, so well known for his honesty
and probity? I am proud, indeed, that this
school shall- have the name of the greatest
benefactor that Oregon City and the whole
state has ever had. It will be opened to all
children, without respect to their faith or
nationality, and shall stand as a monument
of our own love.
Remarks by Major Caufield.
Mayor E. G. Caufield was then intro
duced and said:
In the history of Oregon the name of Dr.
John MoLoughlln stands out In relief above
all others. Whenever and wherever there
Is a meeting or gathering of Oregon pion
eers, the name of McLoughlin Is mentioned
as the man. who rendered help and assist
ance to the' early settlers In the time of
their meed. The absence of anything that
Is lasting as a memorial to McLoughlin
has often been remarked. Father Hllle.
brand, pastor of this church, arrived In
Oregon City at a time when the parish and
school were quite small, but through his
tireless energy and industry both bava
grown wonderfully, and his work has won
for him the admiration and esteem of all
people. r
County Judge Grant B. Dimlck said
that he had often heard his father speak
of McLoughlin and his kindness to the
early settlers. He said that no monu
ment could have the effect of the monu-
ument that McLoughlin had laid for him
self by his ministrations to the pioneers
In the long ago. The speaker said that
about three-quarters of a century ago
McLoughlin was laying the cornerstone
of the State of Oregon and the Northwest
territory. ,
Benevolent and Tolerant Leader.
Circuit Judge Thomas A. McBrlde pre
faced his remarks by saying that he had
given Father Hillebrand premlssion to
throw the cornerstone at him if he con
sumed more than five minutes in his ad
dress. 'It was my privilege," said the well-
known Jurist, "Just once to have gazed
upon the benevolent countenance of Dr.
McLoughlin. When I entered upon the
duties of life, he was not, for God took
him. The grounds upon which these
buildings stand are the fruits of his be
nevolence. Another church stands upon
ground given by him, as evidence of his
broad tolerance In matters of religion."
