Dooling. of San Benito County, who is sitting for Super ior Judee Frank H. Dunne in the trial of Buef. in hearing argument on a motion made by counsel for the defense for a change of venue on the ground that there exists such a state of prejudice and bias In the public mind in this city that Ruef cannot have a fair and impartial triaL In support of this motion counsel for Ruef will introduce the flies of all the dally papers In San Francisco and one In Oakland, from October 15, 1906. to date.

In addition to these volumes of the dally papers, which it Is alleged have worked up such a state of public opinion against Ruef that it is Impossible for him to obtain a fair trial, counsel will offer In evidence several scrap books Wiled with hundreds of articles and many cartoons, the flies of all the weekly pa pers In tills city, one printed In Los Ange les and two eastern magazines, contain ing articles and comments upon the bribery-graft prosecution In San Francisco. It Is generally believed that Judge Dool ing will deny the motion. The work of empaneling the jury which la to try Ruef consumed 19 days and over 60 names were drawn before IS men. ac ceptable to both sides were obtained. The partioular charge upon which Ruef is first being tried is the offering of a bribe or Jlooo to Jennings J. Phillips, for his vote upon the Parkslda trolley franchise. Jurors to Be Prisoners. Immediately upon completion of the Jury, Judge Dooling. after expressing his regret for the necessity or advisability of removing It from all possible influence, ordered that the 12 men be locked up and not allowed to separate until the end of the trial. This brought such a vigorous protest from some of the Jurors, one of them. W. F. Swift, asking the court "Whether that was constitutional." that Judge Dooling Anally relented and con ceded that the jorors might be at liberty until tomorrow afternoon in order that They might arrange their business affairs. Assistant District Attorney Heney, who will conduct the prosecution, refused to state who would be the witnesses against Kuef. but it has been repeatedly Inti mated that among them will be G. H. X'mbsen. & prominent real estate man, Joseph Green and W. I. Brobeck, the lat ter a well-known attorney, all three of whom were Interested In the Parkslde trolley franchise and were Jointly indicted with Ruef. having, according to the prose cution, testified before the grand Jury that they paid Ruef $,000 to get the pro posed franchise with a promise of $15,000 more. Lino on Testimony. ' From the questions asked by Ruef s counsel during the examination of Jurors, It is believed Ruef will claim that the money was a fee paid to him as an at torney. On the other hand. It has also en asserted that his co-defendants will testify that "Ruef held up" the company, controlling as he did the Board of Super visors. 7CKORS TARE AX A1RXXG aTudge In IVtord Case Heeds Their Plea for Change. SAX FTtANCTSCO. April 2S. The Jury -In the Ford case today protested to Judge lAwlor as to the length to which the trial Is being extended, and the Incon venience they were sufforlng in conse quence. Through the bailiff, in whose custody they are when not In the court room, they sent a message to the Judge .Lsklng that night sessions be held, as their business Interests were suffering because of their prolonged absence. Judge Lawlor took the matter up at the close of today's session and told the jury that he was satlsned with the pro srress of the case but he thought it would work a hardship upon attorneys and stenographers to hold night sessions, hut he proposed as a compromise an evening at the theater for the jurymen. Some of the Jurors, however, wanted to go for a walk, thinking fresh air was what they most needed. The final scheme was that those who wished should walk, and those who did not. should remain at the hotel In guard of a third bHilirr. The testimony today was almost en tirely a repetition of that given on former trials. FORGIVES TYRANT HUSBAND Wo nmn Who Was Beaton and Hand cuffed Not to Get Divorce. TAiXKMA. Wash.. April 2S.

KING FEARS II PLOT Manuel to Be Closely Guarded as He Rides to Cortes. LISBON FULL OF TROOPS Authorities Will Take Every Precau tion Becomes Known That Late "Royal Advances" Amount" ed to $1,500,000. IJSBON. April . Great concern ex ists lest the reopening of Parliament tomorrow may be the occasion of a fresh outrage possibly an attempt on the life of the young King Manuel, Who. in accordance with traditions, must go in state to the Cortes to pro nounce the opening. The city Is full of troops and the entire route from the Necessidades palace to the Parliament house will be lined with soldiers. The King will travel in a closed carriage surrounded by lanoers. Some time ago a plot was discovered, said to be a direct sequel of the tragedy of February and a man named Halanaque was arrested, but the police failed to procure Incriminat ing evidence and he was released. The Republicans and Francolsts seem to have completed preparations to precipitate an onslaught on the government shortly after Parliament opens by reviving the scandals in con nection with the "royal advances'" ob tained by the late King Carlos from the state treasury. The young King apparently sincerely desires to make every possible amend; he wanted the whole question investigated and re peatedly expressed his intention of re paying to the treasury the money Ille gally advanced. No commission, how ever, was appointed. It now leaks out that the secret of the failure to comply with the King's request was that the amount credited to the King on the treasury books was not 1500,000, as everybody sup posed, but that the sum liquidated by Franco was approximately Il.i00.000. The most sensational revelation, how ever, is that the royal family has ac tually received only $730,000, the re maining $800,000 having been ab sorbed in the process of transmission by the "rotatlves" then In control.
