Heney Imagines Effort to Spirit
Ruef Away.
WANTS HIS BAIL REDUCED
Jtuef Thinks 91,1 IS. 000 Too Much,
hays 37 Duplicate Indictments
Asraliist Him At Present Kate
Trial Would Last 116 Years.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 20. Abe
l;uef, lndtotrd on 11 counts, thinks the
um of 1, 115.000 is too much bail, and
pays there are 37 counts against him
imi which the bail is ;i;0.00, of whfch
lie should be relieved, nd that the bail
on the remaining ro'ivlus Is excessive.
Kuef was in court on a writ of habeas
corpus.
Assistant 'District Attorney
Heney
presented an affidavit stating that
Iluef was wealthy, and that he believed
there was a conspiracy to jret Ruef out
of the country. He cited the attempt
ed kidnaping of James L. Gallagher,
on whose testimony he said Ruef would
be convicted, and also the attempted
kidnaping of ex-Supervisor Ixmergan,
Just before Ihe Tirey L. Ford trial.
When asked for a list of the dupli
cate indictments by the court, Heney
said:
"We concede there are many. We
do not Intend to file any list of any kind
upon behalf of the District Attorney's
tfnoe."
f t'onrt Wants List Filed.
"The Diatriit Attorney Is an officer of
this court and should assist it," replied
J'jdge Cooper. Turning to Murphy.
Ituef's associate counsel, the judge said:
"If the District Attorney refuses to
make out a list for this court, you can
file one, and if it is not oontradlcted. we
will consider that it is a correct one."
Heney then explained that he meant
no disrespect to the court, but that It
was merely a question of law which
caused the District Attorney to take
that attitude.
Assistant District Attorney Heney. in
his arrument against a reduction of
bail, which he contended was not ex
rcssive in Kuefs case, argued that the
object of the law was to Insure certainty
of punishment, not severity: that the
prefumptlon of innocence until proved
guilty shi a "Action of law for the trial
only,' and that for the purpose of fixing
bail a man must be considered guilty;

that Ruef .was charged with not one
crime, but with 116, and therefore the
incentive to flee was that much greater,
and that the wealth of Ruef and some
of hia co-defenuants would Increase the
chances that he would endeavor to es
cape punishment, which, in proportion to
the number of crimes charged with, was
that much more certain than if charged
with but one crime.
Xeed 116 Yean for Trial.
Murphy pointed out that at the present
rate of progress over a year and not one
trial It would take 116 years to try Ruef
on all the charges. He said a conviction
on one or two charges would practically
send him to the penitentiary for life.
"I suppose," said Judge Cooper, turn
ing to Heney. "that you will not try the
defendant upon more than four or five
charges if you convict, nor more than
that number if you fail to convict."
'No: we won't stop on four or five
Indictments If w fail to convict. We
won't stop until we have tried him 116
times unless we get several convictions
or else go out of office before ..iat time."
Just when the Appellate Court will
render Its decision in the matter is un
certain. GRAFT OS

GUESTS LEAVE IN HASTE
Fire Breaks From Linen Closet and

vmen on Roof Make Hur
ried Descent.
CHICAGO. March 20. Fire resulting
from crossed electric light wires dam
aged the Grand Pacific Hotel today to
the extent of $100,000, and for a time
threatened entire destruction of the
building. No lives were lost, although
many of the guests were compelled to
make hasty exlU by the fire escapes,
and but three persons were injured.
Two of these were in the crowd In
front of the hotel and were slightly cut
by falling glass. The third was a
fireman, who suffered a fracture of
the left arm.
The fire was discovered by James
Ryan, a mechanic, who was at work
upon the roof. Two weeks ago a por
tion of the hotel smokestack was
blown down in a gale, and Mr. Ryan
was in charge of a gang which was
putting up the new stack. He was in
the act of placing a block under one
corner of a derrick when a small
tongue of flame shot up into his face.
He at once gave the alarm.
Saved by Desperate. Work.
For a considerable time it was Alt
believed that the fire would be serious.
It was generally known that repairs
on the srookestark were in progress,
and. when the 'first clouds of smoke
rolled along the roof and drifted down
Into the hotel court, they were gener
ally believed to come either from the
defective stack or from the apparatus
in use by the workmen.
The flames were confined by desper
ate work to the north wing. When
the employes responded to the calls of
Mr. Ryan they found a linen closet on
the eighth floor to be entirely ablaze.
From- this point the flames spread
along the entire north portion of the
seventh floor and also destroyed the
rear portion of the sixth floor. At this
point the fire was checked after a se
vere struggle.
The entire hotel, however, was com
pletely flooded with water and the

HOOD'S Sarsaparilla
A Pure Medicine
THE PURE FOOD AND DRUGS LAW
Always pure, safe and beneficial, no changes have been necessary in
Hood 's Sarsaparilla, or its advertising', to comply 111 the Pure Food and
Drugs Law, or with public sentiment.
From the Time it was first carefully perfected from the prescription of
Dr. Oliver of Boston, to the present day, its ingredients, its proportions, and
the peculiar -process used in its preparation, have remained the same.
Being an honest, genuine medicine, it has always welcomed the closest
examination.
Its Advertising, too, has always been sane and reasonable.

solid truth, and have been justified by thousands of cures actually effected.
It Cures of scrofula, eczema, psoriasis, blood-poisoning, catarrh, rheu
matism, and of all other troubles or diseases arising from or promoted by
impure blood or low state of the system, have been truly marvellous.
It is Coring thousands today, just as it has cured thousands in the past.
Unfair criticism may try to create prejudice against prepared medicines,
success often meets with unfair assaults, but Hood's Sarsaparilla continues
uring just the same.

cally the same curative properties. Of druggists, or sent by mail on receipt

BLACK HAND CAUSES PANIC
Threat to' Dynamite School Building
Alarms Parents.
BUTLER, Pa., March 20. A panic
among school children and their par
ents resulted -today at the Institute
Hall School building when a report
was circulated that President Melhling
of the school board has received a
Black Hand threat demanding $500 or
the building would be blown up with
dynamite. Many women, frantic with
fear, rushed to the school and de
manded that their children be in-
IN
stantly dismissed. When the teachers
persisted in keeping the children In
their rooms, a number of women
fainted.
In a short time the children deserted
the building when they learned of the
report. All efforts to hold them In
check were futile. An official state
ment has been issued denying that
such a demand has been made.
