KEEPS PLANS VERY QUIET Strain and Cold Caught In Jail Are Telling on Him Opinions of Judge Dunne May Cause Grounds for Accusations. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21. The date ot the trial of Anraham Ruef on one of the 14 bribery Indictments against him in con nection with the granting of a trolley franchise to the United Railroads by a former Board of Supervisors, will be set by Superior Judge Lawlor tomorrow morning. , Ruef left" the County Jail in his auto mobile at 10 o'clock this morning and had a busy day, spending some time at his office and holding numerous conferences with attorneys down town. Ruef is suf fering from a severe cold, contracted at the County Jail, which, with the strain fie Is now laboring' under, has had a marked effect upon his appearance. Just what arrangements he succeeded in making today for counsel, Ruef de clined to state. He was equally silent as to his plans of defense. It has been ru mored that one of Rucfs first moves would be an effort to disqualify Judge Lawlor and Judge Dunne from presiding at his trial because these two judges had been consulted by the prosecution at various times. The criticism of the Appellate Court decision by Judge Dunne and the. ratter's opinion regarding Ruef's guilt will, it is said, be made an additional ground for the allegations of bias and prejudice Hgalnst that Judge. Ruef, however, de clined to affirm or deny this, or in any way to discuss the matter. District Attorney Langdon was equally reticent regarding the plans of "the prose cution. When asked what particular in dictment Ruef would first be tried upon, the District Attorney stated he would decide on that point tomorrow night. PAPKE WINS OVER STANTON Seconds Throw Vp Sponge After Four Rounds' Fierce Fighting. BOSTON, Jan. 21. Bill Papke, of Valley Falls, III., who claims the middleweight championship of tho world, defeated Walter Stanton, of San Francisco, in four rounds here tonight. Stanton throughout the first round landed rights and lefts on the body and face, driving Papke from one end of the ring to the other. The punishment, however, did not seem to affect Papke. in the fourth round both started fight ing like whirlwinds. In the close in lighting, Papke drove his man around the ring and with a heavy blow to the stomach floored Stanton for the count of nine. Stanton came back and landed a dozen hard blows, but Papke was too Ftrong and with a succession of punches sent Stanton down again. Stanton's seconds threw up the sponge and the .bout ended. FORCES DALZELL TO DENY (Continued from First Page.) happens to have a seat here' said he. "get up with an amendment like this that casta a slur upon Rentlemen that hold places In this honorable body, seek ing to prevent them from ever engaging 'even In the average and ordinary voca tions in life." Payne said it was painfully evident that there were "some first termers from Missouri" who feared that Missouri would be landed permanently on the Re publican side and who wanted to be re turned, and who felt that unless they got Boinf thing demagogic in the bill the 'would not be returned, "hence," he said, ""these attacks atl along the line are not on the merits of the bill, but simply to out-llerod Herod." Clark Starts Storm of Cheers. Vociferous applause greeted Champ Clark, of Missouri, when he roee to reply to Payne. He dt-nied the right of Payne, to lecture the Ieniooratic side, and defenh'd the right of new members to express their opinion. When Clark touched upon the political attitude of Missouri, the Democrats again broke out into applause. Payne, ho said, seemed to think there was some question as to how Missouri was going to vote at the next Presidential election. He then explained that at the last election 5,0)0 Democrats stayed home, "because they did not like a certain telegram sent from Esopus to the St. Louls convention." Those Democrats, he declared, were not dead. "They haven't moved away." he said, "and they did not join the Republican party, because Roosevelt got only 7000 more votes than McKinley in 1900." The next moment he threw the House into an uproar when he de clared that "on the Sth of July next we intend to nominate William J. Bryan for President." The Democrats applauded, shrieked and pounded their desks, and later the Re publicans In derision, joined In -the dem onstration, which lasted for some min utes. Contimiing. Clark challenged the Republicans to name their man. "I will bet my head on the proposition." he said, "that there are not 10 men on that side that will dare stand up and say wno their caiintdute will up. Tumultuous Democratic applause and laughter greetxi tins remark. Forced to Scurry for Votes. "I can tell you who the gentleman from Illinois is for." Interjected Boutell. of Il linois, who took up the challenge. "You are for 'Uncle Joe' Cannon sug jested Clark. "I am for him." replied Boutell, amid Ri pubMcan applause. "You may nominate our Bryan in July, but we will elect . annon in November. Some amusement was created when Ilark inquired of Boutell if he was cer tain that the administration forces would be for Uncle Joe or not. "Every Republican In the United States will be," aid Boutell; "Ah! Don t you believe any such stuff as that," said Clark, whose retort called for more demonstrative applause which broke out again when Clark inquired of Boutell: "Were you at the Gridiron dinner here when Roosevelt and Foraker had that fuss'? "That." replied Boutell. "was simply one of those little ebullitions of spirit that will be entirely forgotten, and every Re publican in the country will vote for the Republican nominee." "On lone fisherman,'' remarked Clark with "a sigh as he took his seat amid shouts of laughter from the Democratic was -brought to a close by Randell, who challenged any man in the body favor ing the acceptance of gifts by Senators or members from corporations "to stand up and show his face to these people here," pointing to the crowded galleries. He referred to the remarks of Payne and said: "His expression anywhere else but -on this floor would simply be the unmasking of graft." The Randell amendment in relation to the acceptance of gifts, on division, was carried, fsO to GO. Loud Democratic ap plause greeted the vote. Moon, Pennsyl vania, was prompt to call for tellers and messengers were sent out by both sides to bring members in. They came hurry ing in through every door. The Repub licans had rallied their forces and the amendment was lost, 88 to 109. An amendment was adopted making it a criminal offense for any officer or employe,, of the Federal Government to give out advance information regarding any crop statistics authorized by law to be prepared. ANOTHER FOR GOVERNOR HEXRY M'BRIDE TO ENTER THE KACE IX WASHINGTON. Holding Back in Announcing Till After Delegate Convention Four Candidates So Far Appear. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 20. (Spe cial.) Henry McBride will be a candi date for the Republican nomination for Governor. There has been no an nouncement to this effect and McBride will not say anything for several weeks, but hie close friends know that he has determined to enter the race. Whether or not the McBride an nouncement will precede the meeting of the Republican State Convention to name delegates to the National Conven tion will depend largely upon circum stances. McBride's friends are anxious not to be drawn into the delegate flght, if any should occur, and may delay the formal launching of the McBride boom for that event. Chairman Ellis de Bruler has not called the state committee together to determine upon a convention date and probably will delay the meeting of the committee until March. De Bruler's idea is that the state convention should meet during the first week in May, and if this is the opinion of Republican leaders, plenty of time will elapse be tween a March call and a May conven tion to choose state delegates. Guber natorial politics are in danger of being Involved with senatorial and state tights and McBride men want to hold oft as long ae possible to eliminate as much as possible of the danger. Attorney-General J. D. Atkinson, re peatedly urged to make the fight for the Republican nomination, has been holding off to hear whether McBride would be brought out. W. W. Robertson of North Yakima, and P. A. Hazeltine of South Bend, tried about three months ago to launch a gubernatorial boom for R. A. Bal llnger. As a matter of fact Ballinger only agreed to take the land office ap pointment for a year, and The Ore gonian printed an exclusive story eight months ago showing that Ballinger had attempted to resign and would leave not later than at the end of his first year. The most intimate friends Ballinger has here declare' he ' will not consider the nomination, and word from Ball inger is to the same effect. Colonel W. M. Rldpath of Spokane, once before a candidate for Congress, and prominent in both the Ankeny and Turner Senatorial campaigns, has a gu bernatorial ambition.
