SAX FRA.YC7SCO, March 3!. With a
6 parlvantaee of at Wst eiprht pounds
neair.st him. Alo Attoii. champion feath
r: w.-iEht of America, tonight foujrht Bat
tii'np Nelson, of Chicago, to a 15-round
draw. The ficht was most epeacular
and there was not one round that the
preat crowd present was not on its feet
Fhntuln? for one man or the other. At
t!io end of the contest both men were
fairly dolupcd with blood. Nelson's face
in particular presenting a gory sipht.
Attell had the advantage of all the.
earlier rounds. lie matched his superior
Fkill, aeility, cleverness and fleetness o
font apajnst the riisarder and sturdier
mnn, and by outR-eneralinq- his opponent
in t!:is manner bade fair to earn a clear
cut decision.
Turning-Point in Ninth.
Th turning- point came, however. In
Th ninth round. Nclscn. who had been
taking his punishment without a v.'him
jkt, finally succeeded in getting past the
ITbre-w's heretofore impregnable guard,
and once, bavin;? paved the way. he wor
red his man considerably. In the four
teenth round it looked as if Nelson would
tcore a knockout, as Attell was apparent
ly In distress. Rut the wonderful clevpr
nfss and knowledge of ring trickery stood
Attell well in hand and he-stalled and
emothcred the round out.
Each Man Dissatisfied.
The consensus of opinion seemed to
be that, while Attell by far landed the
most blows and was much the cleverer,
thi3 was to a great extent offset by
Nelson's ag-prrsssi veness and the superi
or power of his blows. It was on this
Tapis that Referee Smith based his de
a cision, and he so stated to the assem
bly and to the press reporters. Both
of the pug-Ilists were dissatisfied with
the decision, each man maintaining
stoutly that clearly the decision should
have been awarded to him.
Th conditions of the contest made it
necessary for the men to weiph In at
J32 pounds at 6 o'clock. Both men
easily made the required weight and,
-while there was no official record made
of the exact weights, it was generally
known that Nelson was as low as 131,
while Attell weighed about 124 pounds.
Xiettinsr on the result favored Nelson,
odd" of 10 to being offered at the
time.

RUEF fJOT NAMED
Judge Dunne Files Affidavit of
"Midnight Meeting."
OBJECTS TO TRIAL JUDGES
Hnef Petitions Transfer From Judge
Dunne's Department and Make
Affidavit Charging Judge Doo
ling With Prejudice.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-nSuperior
Judge Dunne filed today with Judge
Lawlor an affidavit giving his version of
the "midnight meeting" that was held in
his chambers and at which were present
Heney, Burns. Dr. Jacob Nieto, Dr.
Bernard Kaplan and Judge Dunne. The
affidavit states that Judge Dunne came
only at the earnest solicitation of Spe
cial Agent Bums, who had represented to
him that the meeting was of the utmost
importance.
In his affidavit Judge Dunne specifically
contradicts the averments of the two
reverend gentlemen, denies he promised
that Ruef would be'allowed to withdraw
his plea of guilty and declares that Ruef
name was not even mentioned.
What Passed a the Meeting.
After apologizing for bringing him out
at such an hour. Judge Dunne avers that
Heney said:
Judge, 1 have com her with these
gentlemen at their request, to have you tell
them what your uractlce is as to recom
mendations of the District Attorney on be
half of defendants in criminal cases pend
ing In your court &nd also whether you
have confidence In Mr. L&ngdon and myself
as bis assistant.
I reified exactly or substantially in tha
following language: "I have confidence
!n you. Mr. Heney, and In the District At
torney, and. while I have that confidence
in the District Attorney, whenever a recom
mendation or suggestion is made by him in
a cause pending in my department. It is
my practice to entertain and be guided
by it. provided, of course, it is in the Inter
est and furtherance of Justice."
Thereupon Dr. Kaplan spoke up and said:
"But your honor, suppose a man pleaded
guilty and afterwards asked to change his
plea.'
I replied: "You have heard what I have
said, gentlemen, as to my practice. Of
course, in all casci of uch recommenda
tions, whioh I lnist shall always be made
in open court, whenever the District At
torney fails to convince me that he is well
advised or that good and sufficient grounds
exist for his motions, tt must be remembered
that the final determination must always
rest with me."
Judge Dunne also avers in his affi
davit that he had no knowledge of the
much-discussed "immunity contract"
when Ruef pleaffed guilty, and did not
even know that the prosecution was ne
gotiating with Ruef. Referring to the
incident last January, when District At
torney Iangdon called upon Judge Dunne
with reference to the withdrawal of
Ruef s plea of guilty, Judge Dunne avers:
Mr. Langdon called upon me in my cham
bers and said in effect: "Ruef is outside,
and wants to make a motion to withdraw
his plea of guilty in the extortion cases."
I promptly told Mr. Langdon with some
emphasis that I would not consider such a
motion at that or any other time.
Judge Lawlor announced he would aJso
make an affidavit, and continued the
matter of Ruefs motion to set aside his
arraignmen t and plea in the United
Railway case untii Saturday morning.
Ruef Objects to Trial Judges.
Rxief's attorneys this morning filed a
petition asking that Judge Dunne be
compelled to transfer the case to some
other department of the Superior Court.
A writ of prohibition was also asked pre
venting Judge Dunne or Judge Dooling
from sitting In the cases against Ruef.
Ruef also filed an affidavit, which was
read in court before Judge Dooling, seeK
ing to disqualify the latter on the ground
that he believes the defendant guilty;
that as a friend of Judge Dunne he shares
the latter's malice, and that the fact that
he caused Ruef to be expelled from the
Native Sons of the Golden West shows
his prejudice and bias.
Heney suggested that a continuance be
taken to allow the court to reply in an
affidavit, and this was ordered. The
court held, however, that belief in a de
fendant's guilt does not disqualify the
Judge from presiding at the trial. Judge
Dooling. in answer to a question by Ach,
denied that he had ever attacked or ar
raigned Ruef In a speech before the Or
der of the Native Sons and stated that his
relations with Ruef, up to about a year
ago. were of the pleasantest nature. "We
cpased to meet about a year ago," said
the court.
ANOTHER MOVE TO DISQUALIFY
IRuef Would Hare Judge Lawlor
Barred From Hearing Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 31. (Motions
preliminary to the trial of Tirey L.
Ford, for bribery )n the United Railways
trolley franchise case, were heard by
Judge Lawlor, before whom the trial is
sot, tonight. The attorneys for Ford
presented an affidavit in support of a
motion to disqualify Judge Lawlor from
sitting in the case and after considerable
argument between the attorneys Judge
Lawlor granted the motion to receive the
affidavit, and the proceedings were closed
for the session.
An immunity contract was made with
Ruef, the affidavit asserts, with the
agreement of Judges Dunne and Lawlor
and the affidavit charges that Judge
Lawlor has been at all times friencHy
with the so-called graft prosecution, as
shown in previous trials of Ford and
others charged with graft.
The affidavit recites that Judge Lawlor
permitted Deputy District Attorney
Heney to argue in Ford's former trial,
that the reason he did not place Ruef
on the stand wa"s because he had de
manded immunity when the judge knew
at the time that Ruef already had been
granted immunity.
JCDGE DCXNE OX A VACATION
Leaves for East Judge Dooling to
Sit in His Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, March SL Superior
Judge Frank H. Dunne, who presided at
the trial of ex-Mayor Eugene E. Schmltz,
convicted of extortion, and before whom
Abraham Ruef, the former political boss,
pleaded guilty to the same charge, ex
pects to leave tonight for the East on an
extended vacation.
Judge Dunne has called in Judge
(M aurice T . Dool ing, of San Ben i to
County, to preside in his court during
the coming trial of Ruef on the charge of
bribing the former Board of Supervisors
in connection with the granting of the
Farkside trolley franchise
Judge Dunne will stop a few days In
T7ew Orleans and then go to New York.
BAD BOY TELLS BOLD TALE

10 o'clock. The lad was so braxen with
his attempt to mislead the police that he
told his own mother over the telephone
that she was mistaken and that It was
only her Imagination that led her to be

He broke down, however, when his unde

VALUATION OF RAILROADS;
Knapp Estimates Cost and Proposes
Chaoses in Bill.
WASHINGTON, March SI. The Sen
ate committee on Interstate commerce
yesterday received a letter from Chair
man Knapp. of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, giving the Commis
sion's estimate of the La Follette bill
for an official valuation of railroad
property. It estimates that it will take
not less than three years and cost not
less than J3,000,e00 to make the valua
tion, but 'does not think these limits
will be materially exceeded.
Mr. Knapp says it is not clear
whether the measure is lntr. ftrft to
provide for the valuation or
urban railways, which he thinks sho
be excluded except as they are Integral
parts of or subsidiary to the steam
railways. It is pointed out also that it
is not clear whether the bill is intended
to apply to express companies, sleeping-car
companies.- pipe lines, boat
lines, transfers and common carriers of
similar classes. It is suggested that
the bill should include provision for the
valuation of cars of packing companies
and other private- concerns, whose
equipment is used in interstate trans
portation. He says the bill could con
tain some general instructions relative
to the report to be made, and calling
for analysis of the elements that con
stitute the valuation of railway prop
erty. Such analysis is essential before
any judicial use can be made of the
figures reported.
Another matter of criticism by the
Commission is the fact that the biH
makes no provision for the right of
agents of the Commission to enter upon
the property of corporations. Provi
sion should be made for the agents to
have free access to the property and
records of railroad companies.

TELLER FOR STATE RIGHTS
Bewails Tendency or Government to
Stretch Its Powers.
WASHINGTON. March 31. The alleged
tendency of the General Government to
override the powers of the states of the
Union and to ignore the restrictions of
the Constitution was the subject of re
marks by Teller of Colorado in the Sen
ate today. He declared that there had
grown up a practice of attempting to
Justify any act by the Federal authori
ties, whether there was authority for it
or not. so long as it was ascribed to the
public interest.
"We hear the repeated assertion." said
Teller, vthet wluever ought to be done
wf should find a method of doing."
He referred to a speech by Secretary
ftoot calling attention to the fact that
the states were not exercising powers
conferred upon them by the state gov
ernments and that we must not com
plain of Congress assuming to do what
they fail to do. He also quoted the Pres
ident as having recently said that there
were certain evils "Congress ought to
find a way" to remedy. The President's
power, he said, was fully denned by the
Constitution. and no "interpellation"
should be made- to extend those powers.
The fall of the confederation of states in
the past, he said, had resulted from a
failure to recognize the rights of each
of the states. He commended the atti
tude of Mr. Justice Harlan in upholding
the state.
Teller spoke on the bill grantlmr a
right to a private company to construct
a dam in the Snake Riveri Washington,
declaring that the. right sought in that
bill belonged to the state and not to the
Federal Government.
Teller criticised in sharp terms the ad
ministration of the forest reserves, con
tending that they were largely conduct
ed under regulations of the bureau,
which continued to transcend the laws
and afforded but poor opportunity to
either the homesteader or the prospector
to avail himself of the opportunities
which Congress intended to afford to
both classes.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to discussion of the Benton dam bill on
Its merits. Heyburn and Borah, both
of Id-aho, took opposing sides, Heyburn
opposing and Borah favoring. Heyburn
declared he would maintain his position
even if satisfied that by doing so he
would imperil his seat In the Senate. No
vote had been reached when the Senate
adjourned.

Here's Exactly What
We're Up Against
Landlord Tears Out Rear of Graves &
Company's Store.
Not content with forcing out the
largest General Music Store in the
West, the 'almighty lessor' of Graves
& Co.'s quarters now apparently seeks
to stop, if possible, the closing out of
the remaining stock of Sheet Music,
Talking Machines and Musical Instru
ments. When th rentals demanded by this
"lease operator" are Actually 35 per
cent and in some cases ol per cent
higher than asked in cities of twir
and thrice the population of Portland,
it would seem that this certain indi
vidual has lost all sense of values, re
sulting in driving out nearly all his
former tenants with his unreasonable
demands. Possibly this is why a large
cigar concern, a line that is supposed
to be able to pay the highest rentals,
quit the premises.
Certain it is that if other owners of
Washington -street property followed
the same frenzied course, this city
would soon have a new retail district.
In the case of Graves & Co. it meant
the turning over to this "loaf e oper
ator" practically the entire net profits
of the business.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN t
But apparently the limit of unrea
sonableness has not been reached, for
imagine our surprise on finding a gang
of carpenters tearing out the protect
ing wall in the rear of the establish
ment. Can it be possible that this
lessor would even try to stop us from
disposing of our goods?
If that's the game, we want to stata
right now that we will dispose of our
stock even though it becomes neces
sary to call In a regiment of soldiers
to hold the place until everything has
been snapped up.
No combination of circumstances
ever necessi t.ited such drastic meas
ures. We don't know what "he" will
do next, but certain it is that there's
no time to lose. Prices have been cut
and slashed out of all reason and
everything must and will go at once,
even though it's necessary to virtually
give it away.

Then why buy coffee that falls short of the necessary,
health-giving, desirable elements? The United States
government's authority says that all coffee should contain
caffeine, caffeol and fat to the extent of 10 to 13.
J ill MMmMAA
Brand Coffee,
Formerly called 11 DE-TAN -AT ED" COFFEE
is rich in these desirable elements to the extent of 24
This is because the undesirable part has been removed,
leaving only the healthful, delicious, nutritious coffee
principles. From the best coffee obtainable has been
extracted and discarded the poison bearing, bitter tasting,1
useless cellulose tissue, the part of the coffee that does harm
and which you have heretofore bought ground upkwith
the rest of the berry. j
Look into the subject; it is worth investigating. "When
you have tried it once you will never use any other brand
than "Puri-tan-ated."
