Idea had exhausted their peremptory chal
lenges. Th taking of testimony will
commences tomorrow afternoon, the morn
ing session of the court being taken up
ty Judge Maurice T. 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.
Will Offer Scrap-Booka.
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

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.

jail at Kenosha, Wis., waiting for his

that he would die two days later. He
also told him he wquld find in the jail a
one-legged man. a Dane, and a cross
eyed man. He was picked up in Kenosha
yesterday, talking incoherently.
Awaiting at the door of the jail were
Harry Hansen, a Dane: Charles Hansen,
who has only one leg. and Ole Hertzber
ger, who is cross-eyed. When Chrlsten
sen saw the three men he threw up his
hands and cried: "It's no use!" Then he
fell in a faint on the floor. Since that
time he has been preparing for death.
Physicians attending him say his condi
tion is such that he may not survive.

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.

Violent Quarrels Each Has a
Fighting Chance to Live.
TACOMA,. April 28. George S. Klontze,
a former resident of Salt Lake City, aged
23 years, shot and probably fatally
wounded his frirl-wife while the two

baby along the street this afternoon,
and then, turning' the weapon upon him
self, placed the muzzle of the revolver
In his mouth and fired a shot, intended
for his brain.. .

which occurred about two hours before.
The woman la only 17 years of age and
since the couple's marriage about a year
ago quarrels have been numerous and
Klontze was last December fined heavily
for assaulting his wife.
The would-be murderer talked freely
of his crime, blaming it to his wife's
relatives. The young woman and her
assailant are both in St. Joseph's Hospi
tal, the former with few chances of re
covery, attending physicians state, and
the latter guarded by an officer from
