MAY DISQUALIFY
PRESIDING JUDGES
Rumored That Ruef Will Make
the Attempt When Case
Comes to Trial.
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.

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.

British Columbia Parliament Dis
cusses Plan to Keep Out Immi
grants With Armed Cruisers.
i
VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 22. Some
strong language was used by members
for Vancouver In the British Columbia
Parliament yesterday In discussing the
proposed legislation aimed to restrict
Japanese emigration. Mr. MaeCowen,
Vancouver, stated that the situation
was growing desperate at Vancouver
and. if the aggression continued. It
might be possible that a resort to arms
might occur for self-preservation. He
said the Japanese of Vancouver were
thoroughly armed and if steps were
not taken to disarm them, Vancouver
citizens would arm themselves.
Dr. MacGuire, of Vancouver, sug
gested that the amount of J20.000.000
held to be due British Columbia
should be used to provide armored
cruisers, which would assist to defend
the Pacific seaboard of Canada, and
urgent steps should be taken whether
Canada proposed or not to exclude the
Japanese.
