DELMAS TO DEFEND GLASS
Trial of Telephone Men Set for June
17 Schmitz Complains Ball Is
Excessive Hundred More
Counts In Reserve.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27. Abraham
Ruef. the Indicted ex-boss of San Fran
cisco, appeared as his own lawyer to
day. In one of the many criminal pro
ceedings pending- against him. Seated
alone In one of the crimson-cushioned
pews of the Jewish Synagogue, Judge
Lawlor's temporary courtroom, he
looked deserted and forlorn. He was
unshaven and not as neatly dressed as
Is his habit. His face showed sleep
lessness and long; days of nervous dread
of the ordeal he sot for himself when
two weeks ago, in Judge Dunne's
shabby courtroom, he changed his plea
to guilty, turned state's evidence, and
declared In a speech broken with emo
tion his intention to lead henceforth
an honorable life and to bend his ener
gies "to undo as far as possible what
ever of wrong he had done in the past."
In the pew behind Ruef sat his guard,
Klisor Blggy, and a deputy. Directly
across the aisle, in another pew, sat
Mayor Schmitz, Rucf's fellow defendant
oh many charges brought and on many
others to follow, at liberty under $400,
000 bonds.
Delmas to Defend Glass.
' , "'sv '- ,T. -Mm.is, the Sen Francisr
lawyer who attracted world-wide at
tention to himself by his defense of
harry . K. Thaw In New York for the
murder of Stanford White,' has been re
tained to defend two of the men entan
gled In the bribery-graft dragnet of
the Oliver grand Jury. The announce
ment that Mr. Delmas will help to de
fend Louis Glass, president, and Theo
dore V, Halsey, agent, of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, was made In court this morning
by T. C. Coogan, who thus far has ap
peared for Olass, and by request of the
latter Mr. Delmas was entered as an
additional attorney of record.
The first cash bail to be offered by
any of the 19 men thus far Indicted was
a $70,000 certified check on the London,
Paris tc San Francisco Bank, tendered
to Judge Coffey today by Frank G.
Drum, Indicted on 14 counts charging
the bribery of Supervisors in behalf of
the San Francisco Oas and Electric
Company.
This was mere arraignment day for
the millionaires and multl-mlllionalres
In Temple Israel. Olass and Halsey
were arraigned before Judge Lawlor on
additional indictments charging them
with bribing Supervisors to vote against
the Issuing of a competitive telephone
franchise. President Patrick Calhoun,
Vice-President Thornwell . Mullally,
Tirey I Ford and W. M. Abbott, attor
neys, of the United Railroads, were
called for arraignment on indictments
charging them with having bribed Su
pervisors to award the trolley fran
chise under which the United Railroads
system Is operated. They were given
until Saturday morning, June 1, to an
swer. In the afternoon Ruef and
Schmitz were arraigned on Indictments
charging the same crime in connection
with the Supervisors and the United
Railroads. The same disposition was
made.
Ball in the. total sum of $910,000 was
given today by six millionaires and Mayor
Schmitz. Frank G. Drum gave $70,000
cash ball, and Schmitz, Eugene, De Sabla
and John Martin $140,000 each In bonds,
all on indictments charging them with
the bribery of Supervisors to fix the gas
rate for 1906-07 at So cents Instead of 73
cents. , G. H. Umbsen, Thomas Green and
I. W. Brobeck gave bonds In the sum of
$140,000 each on indictments charging
them with offering to bribe Supervisors
to grant a trolley franchise to the Park
side Transit Company.
Ball Given by Millionaires.
President U. Williams of the new Cal
Ifornla Jockey Club and William J. Din
gee, a wealthy capitalist, signed as sure
ties for Srhmltz. R. M. Hotaling, a
millionaire liquor merchant, and Leon
Sloss, of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, qualified for De Sabla. Louis Sloss,
of the Alaska Commercial Company and
R. M. Hotaling qualified for Martin. Leon
and Louis Sloss are brothers of Justice
Max Sloss of the California Supreme
'. Court. William H. Crocker and Charles
E. Green, president and cashier of the
Crocker National Bank, put up personal
bonds for Umbsen. Wellington Gregg, .of
the Crocker National Bank, A. F. Mor
rison, of the law firm of Morrison, Cope
A. Brobeck qualified for Green and Bro
beck. With the exception of Calhoun, Mul
lally, Ford and Abbott, whose bonds
were given by the Metropolitan Surety
Company, of New Tork, all of the ac
cused men have come Into court with
; fioreonal friends, millionaires and. multi
millionaires who have stood good for
their personal liberty pending trial.
The only man of them all who has
made no effort to offer ball of any kind
Is Abraham Ruef. His ball was origi
nally fixed at $50,000 on the five extortion
charges first brought against him. The
additional Indictments returned against
him have piled up his ball requirements
to the appalling sum of $1,125,000 bonds,
or $567,500 cash.
Rue"f was asked today whether he In
tended to make any effort to 'give bail
and regain his liberty, in case Judge
Dunne for his own part was willing to
accept bail, now that Ruef has convicted
himself by pleading guilty and is actually
in custody pending sentence. He replied
that. If his premonitions were correct,
there were so many more duplicate in
dictments forthcoming against him that
it -would take many millions to set him
temporarily free.
Messrs Campbell and Fairall endeavored
today to get a reduction in the. $400,000 bail
required of Mayor Schmita, which they
;' &)
Tlrey L. Ford, General Counsel of
United Railroads Company, Indicted
with Calhoun and other. for'Brtb
lnaM7or and Supervisors.
denounced as "excessive and violative of
the constitution."
More Indictments in Reserve.
Judge Coffey has the matter under ad
visement. It may be stated by authority that the
grand jury has in mind the returning of
at least 100 more counts against men who
have already been indicted. The state
ment of the prosecution is that In the
several alleged briberies of the Board of
Supervisors by officials of public service
corporations, every one of the 18 Super
visors and the Mayor himself were cor
rupted. Thus far the grand jury has
returned counts charging the bribery of
only some of the Supervisors, and not of
the Mayor at all.
The trial of Louis Glass and Theo V.
Halsey has been set for June 17. At
that time more than 25 witnesses. In
cluding the 18 Supervisors and Ruef, will
be present to testify for the state.
WOULD RESTORE LOST CREDIT
Commercial Bodies Appoint Commit
tee to Act With Heney.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27. (Special.)
Acting upon the suggestion of Governor
Glllett, a committee of ten, composed of
two representatives of each of the five
leading commercial organizations of San
Francisco, met' at the Merchants' Ex
change today and took steps to form a
citizens' body to restore the Injured credit
of the city. At the meeting were Frank J.
Symmes and A.H.. Vail, representing the
Merchants' , Association;, A. A. Watkins
and Martin Triest, representing the Board
of Trade;. E. R. Lillenthal and T. C.
Friedlander. of the Merchants' Exchange;
R. E. Sbarboro and' J. P. Carrier, the
Manufacturers' and Producers' Associa
tion, and C. H. Bentley and James Mc
Nab, the Chamber of Commerce. Mr.
Bentley presided at the meeting. .
The committee decided that . imme
diate steps were necessary to sustain
the credit of the city. To this end. It
was deemed essential that San Fran
cisco should not wait the turn of the
year to , inaugurate much-needed im
provements, but should Institute the
work at once. To this end, the com
mittee will place Itself in touch with
Francis J. Heney, and, if It Is able to
secure his co-operation, it will take up
urgent matters with the Mayor.
The lack of government, the absence
of an authoritative head of affairs, It
is contended by the business men. are
responsible for the depression that
overcasts the industrial and financial
situation. Affairs In San Francisco are
In a chaotic condition. The time Is ap
proaching when the crops of the state
will be ready for market, and with the
approach of this time has already be
gun an increased demand for money.
HEXEY BARS LAWBREAKER S
Challenges Bookmaker as Juror.
Two More for Schmitz Jury. .
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27. With eight
Jurors accepted, the empaneling of a Jury
for the trial of Mayor Schmitz on the
extortion charge was adjourned today to
await a new venire, which will be re
turned when Judge Dunne's court, meets
again today.
One of the Jurors, Otto Fehren
bach, who was temporarily passed by
both sides last Friday, was challenged by
the state on the ground that up to Sat
urday night he had been running a hand
book on the Emeryville races in connec
tion with his cigar stand business at Bay
and Powell Btreets. Fehrenbach con
fessed the accusation, which was brought
against him by F. J. Heney.
"Then," cried Mr. Heney, "we challenge
this juror for cause. A man engaged In
violation of the law under police protec
tion shows great boldness coming here
and offering to qualify as a Juror in this
case."
The defense resisted the challenge but
Judge Dunne allowed it and Fehrenbach
was compelled to Btand aside.

WASHINGTON, May 27. (Special.) Au
thentic information reached Washington
today to the effect that William J. Bryan
will fight the reactionaries of his party
with their own weapons. The Democratic
conservatives, as recently stated In dis
patches, have planned to break up- the
Bryan strength by securing several state
delegations to the National convention
next Summer pledged to favorite sons.
Now Mr. Bryan is going in for favorite
sons to defeat the purpose of the reac
tionaries. The information, which comes straight
from high Bryan circles, corroborates to
some extent the observations of a 'leading
Democrat relative to the possibility of
Bryan's not desiring the nomination for
President next Summer and his desire to
shift the party leadership to Governor
Hoke Smith, of Georgia.
Bryanlte Favorite Sons.
Mr. Bryan has advised his friends to en
courage favorite son booms wherever the
favorite son has made a reputation for
regulating corporations. If there is a
Democratic Governor anywhere . whose
state wants to Instruct him for the Presi
dential nomination, Mr. Bryan's friends
will not Interpose an objection, provided
the favorite son aforesaid does not belong
to the coterie of Democratic reactionaries.
The Governor of Georgia Is such a favor
ite eon as Mr. Bryan is willing to- see
complimented, and the Governor of Ala
bama is another. In Texas there are two
Democrats who meet the requirements of
the Nebraska leader. One Is the Gover
nor, and the other Is the senior Senator,
Mr. Culberson. Of Missouri's Governor
Mr. Bryan has said many complimentary
things, but Mr. Folk, so far as reported,
has not encouraged his friends to etart a
Presidential boom. '
Separate Sheep From Goats.
Mr. Bryan's willingness to have Georgia
declare for Hoke Smith and to have Texas
present Culberson will In no wise Jeopar
dize his nomination, if the favorite sons
so indorsed are not associated in a cabal
to prevent his nomination. It will draw a
sharp line, too, between Southern delega
tions which are manipulated for the sole
purpose of defeating Mr. Bryan and dele
gations whose candidates are not inimical
to him.

CHICAGO. May 27. A campaign against

on September 17 was launched yesterday
by the United Societies for Local Self

people and claiming a total
membership and vote-swinging power of
more than 87,631 persons. Resolutions
condemning the charter act and Insti
tuting a local fight against all legisla

committees at Springfield, were adopted.

resolution, which went through without

by Senator Fuller that a National con

resolution, is as follows:

DARR0W ON BORAH'S RACK
Senator Cleverly Prods Chicago Law
yer Into Anger Vain Effort to
Disqualify Veteran Another
' Venire Is Called.
BOISE, Idaho, May 27. (Special.) The
adjournment of the court this afternoon
until Friday morning may be understood
as a recognition of the discouraging fact
confronting the court and its officers that
men who are busy cannot be Induced to
qualify on the Jury for the trial of W. D.
Haywood. "It has become shameful,"
one of the officers of the court remarked,
as the people poured out of the Court
house after adjournment this afternoon,
"that there has been perjury enough
during the day to All a good-sized
prison."
Today the plea of conscientious scru
ples against capital punishment was con
spicuous. It seemed as though venire
men had Just generally discovered it was
a certain and easy way to get off. During
the examination of the first 88 men called
into the box In this case, only three
pleaded such a sentiment, and there were
more than that in one session today.
Only Busy Men Have Scruples.
It has been observed quite generally,
however, that, when men have been
called Into the box who are not busy,
having nothing immediate needing their
personal attention, they have far more
generally faced the situation Kke citi
zens willing to do their duty. They have
often admitted prejudice, but have de
clared their ability to set It aside If
sworn as Jurors. This fact is thought to
have given the Sheriff a clew, and It Is
anticipated he will bring In SI men on
the present venire who will not feel It
necessary to get oft to look after their
crops or other interests demanding their
present attention. This Is the secret of
the long adjournment. The Sheriff could
pick up 61 men In a half day in town,
but they would not be the kind of men
who are free from this pressure of busi
ness. It will take time to go out and
find men of more or less leisure, but that
is on the programme now. The Sheriff,
it seems certain, will look up persons
who, he has reason to believe, can spare
the time to sit on this case.
No AVorkingmen Summoned.
A rather clever play was made by
Mr. Richardson just as the venire was
ordered this afternoon. It was that
there had been no workingmen brought
in by the Sheriff. There had been six
bankers out of $0 In the county, but
out of 1200 labor men in line in the
last Labor day procession only one had
been summoned. Judge Wood prompt
ly stated he had every confidence in
Sheriff Hodgin, and Mr. Richardson, as
BY?
though feeling he had made a blunder,
hastenea to assure the court he had .no
Intention of reflecting upon the Sheriff.
It is interesting that Mr. Richardson
should have made such a remark. A
persistent contest has been made for a
year on the part of the Socialists to
prejudice the working people of the
county in favor of the defense. Again,
there are two classes of workingmen
those who belong to unions and those
who do not. A union man is met with
questions about the effect of the Social
ist agitation on his mind, and the non
union Juryman must be met with an
other line of attack from the other side.
He Is assumed to be antagonistic to
union labor and is questioned closely.
While it is surprising that Mr. Rich
ardson made the suggestion, it is- not
surprising that those questions have
not been opened up under high pressure
by summoning a great number of union
and non-union workingmen.
During the examination of Harmon Cox
today by Mr. Darrow for the defense there
occurred the finest exhibition of perslst-

ent good-natured prodding, which was
by Senator Borah, that has yet been wit
nessed in the case. Mr. Darrow tried for
an hour and p. half to get Mr. Cox tangled
into an admission that he was disquali
fied. He went farther afield in his ques
tioning, and some of it was of such a
character that Mr. Borah felt obliged to
defend, the Juror from what he designated
as insults. Mr. Cox stuck in the box,
despite the strong effort to get him off
for cause. He was the only man passed
by both sides during the day, and the
state then exercised Its ninth peremptory,
dismissing Henry Curtis. '
Cannot Hold Totirtellotte.
That leaves the state one peremptory
and the defense two.' There is one seat
not filled. Four men must be qualified to
fill those places, while it is practically
certain that Mr. Tourtelloite will have to
be let off. The statute declares a man
with conscientious scruples against capi
tal punishment must not be placed on a
Jury. M. Tourtellotte made the qualifica
tion to the effect that he would hang a
murderer who was an anarchist or when
the Nation, was' engaged in war. There
does not seem to be any cause in the re
ports ".where such a qualification by a
juror has been passed upon. To seat him
would introduce an entirely new question
into the case to be fought over on appeal.

by the Portland Railway, Light

THE MURDERER.
Man about 5 feet 10 Inches In
height; weight about 165 pounds;
build, slender, and clothing dark.
Supposed to have boarded O. R. at
N. freight train east-bound.
REWARD.
General Manager Fuller of the
Portland Railway, Light A Power
Company, last night offered a re
ward of (10OO for Information lead
ing to the arrest and conviction of
the bandit.
Conductor C. L. Nevlus was shot and
killed and Motorman B. V Hull was .
shot through the rTgUt hand. "In a battle
with a lone bandit who held up car
No. 136, on the Rose City Park branch
of the East Ankeny streetcar line, at
9:40 last night. There were no passen
gers on the car.
After robbing the conductor of his
day's receipts the highwayman ran
away and is supposed to have boarded
an east-bound freight train on the O.
R. & N. The daring crime was com
mitted at the intersection of the street
railway track with the O. R. & N. rail
road, at . East Thirty-seventh street.
At this point the cars are required to)
stop, the conductor running ahead tot
see that the track Is clear.
Conductor Nevlus was with the mo
torman on the . front end of the car,
which had Just left the end of the line,
bound for Portland. Nevius was about
to alight when a masked man boarded
the front end of the car.
Upon seeing that the supposed pas
senger was masked, Motorman Hull de
tached his controller and threw it at
the head of the stranger. His missed,
and the bandit drew his revolver, firing;
point blank at the motorman. The shot
went wide, but Motorman Hull pre
tended he was hit and fell off the car
on his barK.
Meanwhile Conductor Nevius had re
treated into the car, where the bandit
now followed him, pointing his pistol
at the conductor's head. The robber
forced Nevlus to produce his day's re
ceipts, estimated to be b"etween $20 and
$30, and also took ills change holder
and watch.
Bandit Murders Conductor.
At this Juncture, being unobserved,
Motorman Hull picked up a heavy rock and
as the robber came out of the car door
threw it, striking him full in the chest.
The desperado was felled by the blow,
but quickly recovered and, seemingly con
fused, turned toward Conductor Nevlus
and fired two shots at him, both taking
effect in the region of the kidneys. The
bullets ranged slightly upward and came
out Just below the last rib on either side.
After the conductor had fallen the ban
dit turned the gun towards Hull and
fired twice, and ran hastily down the rail
way tracks toward the glty. One ot the
bullets mangled Hull's right hand, two
bones being shattered.
A few moments later an eastbound
freight came puffing slowly up the grads
out of Sullivan's Gulch. It Is supposed
that the robber boarded this train.
The courageous motorman then hurried
to the side of his stricken comrade and
endeavored to assist him to the car, but
before he could gain his feet the sadly
wounded conductor gave a gasp and was
dead.
Calling a man from a nearby cabin,, the
motorman then assisted in lifting the
body of Nevlus to the car platform and
with his left hand started the car for the
East Twenty-Eighth street barn for as
sistance. Arriving at East Twenty-Eighth
street and Sandy Road, an outbound car
was encountered, which was manned by
Motorman J. E. Hull, brother of the
wounded man. and Conductor C, L. Klln
ger, who immediately reversed their car
and towed the car bearing the murdered
conductor to -the barns.
Motorman Hull had fainted from his
wounds at this stage, and when taken to
a drugstore opposite the carbarns he
was almost unconscious. Drs. W. V.
Spencer and R. J. Ellis were summoned
quickly, and soon had him revived and
the wounded hand dressed, after whlcfc?
