was sTtvrn out:
"In addition to the communication al

conveyed to the American Government
the assurances of the Kmperor that there
hns never been any ehanpe In his atti

STILL TRIFLING WITH LAW
nurf'v lawyers Again Stare Off the
Trial With Technicalltties.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 30. With the
proollnga against him In one court ef
fectually Mucked for the tlm being.
Abraham Ruef today bopan the name tac
tic In another court and temporarily
checked tha prosecution with a counter
move, when tha attempt waa made to
place him on trial immediately upon an
against him. The prosecution thia morn
InK endeavored ta put Ruef on trial In
Judge Dunnes department on one of tha
Indictments In the so-called Parkside
trolley franchise cases.
Ruef on Saturday filed a lengthy affi
davit, having for Its purpose the disqual
ification of Judge Dunne to preside at the
trial. As If Judge Dunne had anticipated
such a move, when court convened this
morning. Judge Maurice T. Dooling, of
San Benito, who sat for Judge Dunne In
the Tevls-Bulletln libel trial, took the
bench.
Henry Ach. of counsel for Ruef. de
manded a separate trial for Ruef,
who' was Jointly Indicted with W. I.
Brobeck. George H. Umbsen and Joseph
tireen, prominent real estate men. This
was granted. Mr. Ach then moved that
the case be transferred to some other de
partment of the Superior Court, and both
ha and his associate-. Frank J. Murphy,
argued long against Judge Dooling's right
to try the case.
This motion was denied, and the de
fense then gave notice that affidavits
setting forth the personal disqualification
of Judge Dooling would be prepared, and
the case was continued until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning, when they will be
presented In court. Counsel for Ruef
also announced that after the matter
of a Jurijrc to preside at the trial was
disposed of it would be followed by a
series of motions asking; for the dis
missal of the charges against Ruef on
various grounds, among them being to
"dismiss in furtherance of justice."
A motion by Mr. Murphy that
all proceedings ba set aside on the
ground that the court had no Jurisdic
tion, because Ruef was arraigned be
fore bench warrants were Issued, and
that the same had never been served
upon him, arguing that he therefore
was not properly In the custody of the
court, and that the arraignment was
void, was denied by Judge Dooling.
The cases against Brobeck, Umbscn
and Green were continued for 30 days.
At 8 o'clock tomorrow night Judge
Lawler will consider motions and argu
ment by counsel for Tlrey L. Ford,
whose third trial is to commence this
week, why further proceedings against
him should ba set aside.

ALASKA
American Auto Going by Ship
to Vladivostok.
ROUTE ACROSS SIBERIA
Hanson Recommends the Southern
Road, Which Is TrhTersed by tho
Convicts Not More Difficult
to Cross Than Indiana.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 30. The
American car In the New York-Paris
race, with George Schuster, driver,
George Miller, machinist, and Captain
Hans Hanson, arrived In the city .this '
morning, on board the steamer City of
Puobla. Owing to advices regarding
the condition of the trail between
Valdez and Nome, the Alaska part of
the trip will be abandoned, and the
party will probably take the first ship
from Seattle to Vladivostok, and go
through Siberia by the southern route.
Captain Hanson will have charge of
the party on the Siberian trip. He re
cently returned from that Country,
where he was located for 10 years, and
has crossed Siberia both by the north
ern and southern routes. Captain Han
son stated tonight that the final plans
for the remainder of the trip will not
be determined until advices are re
ceived from New York, but he has rec
ommended the southern route through
Siberia, by way of Vladivostok, and ex
pects to sail from Seattle on the next
steamer.
If the southern route Is adopted, the
entire trip through Siberia will be over
the convict military road. If the
Northern Siberia route Is used. It will
be necessary to cross over 100 'miles
of country where there are no roads.
If instructions are received to take the
northern route, the party may be held
In this city for an indefinite period, as
the scheme to take the big automobiles
over the Alaska route has been deemed
to be Impossible, on account of Spring
overflows, and In that event It would
be necessary to take boat to Nome or
direct to East Cape. Captajn Hansen
said:
I am of the opinion the southern route
will be the decision of the Kw York of
ficials, as the northern trip at this season
would be almost ImDossible. Of course. I
am willinr to believe we can make almost
any kind of country after some of the ex
periences we have had in Indiana, and.
If we reached this city earlier, we would
have tried the Alaska ajid Northern Siberia
toute, bttt there was a clause In the articles
sisned that, falling to reach Nome. Alaska.
by April 15. we should have the privilege of
taking the boat to Vladivostok and going by
the southein route.
I have spent 10 years in Siberia and do
not believe there Is any more difficult
country to cross than we have found in
Indiana. Thl'ee months- ago arrangements
were made to supply the machines with
gasoline either by the northern or southern
route, and we are ready to follow direc
tions, from New York.
The automobile and its crew were
given a great ovation on their arrival.
The wharf was crowded with automo
bile enthusiasts, and at noon a big au
tomobile parade was given. Tomorrow
night the motorists will be the guests
of honor at a banquet to be given by
prominent automobilists of Seattle.
The Corwln Is the first boat to sail
from Seattle for the Bering Sea, and
she leaves May 10. .
