Lawyers Consume Whole Day
in Closing Argument About
Bribery.
NO REST FOR PROSECUTION
Heney Ready to Devote Iilfe to Vin
dicating Law Defense Says the
Prosecution of Rucf Is
: Purely Personal.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 19. The case of
Abraham Ruef. tx-polltlcal boss,
charged with bribery, went to the Jury
at 9:30 o'clock tonight, after a day de
voted to closing arguments and the in
struction of Judge Dooling. At a late
hour the jurors were still deliberating,
without apparent prospect of a decision
tonight.
WTien court convened today Mr. Chap
man, attorney for Ruef, made the clos
ing argument. He devoted a great part
ot his time to criticism of Rudolph
Spreckels and Assistant District Attor
ney Heney, saying the prosecution of
Ruef T88 a personnl one on their part.
Heney to Continue Prosecutions.
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion Mr. Heney began his closing ad
dress and spoke for over three hours.
He apologized for the many clashes he
had had with Henry Ach, Ruef's attor
ney, during the trial. He gave much
time to an analysis of the testimony of
Supervisor Gallagher. He admitted Su
pervisor Daniel Coleman had endeavored
to change his testimony in favor of
Ruef at this trial and intimated that
the prosecution is not through with Cole
man. Mr. Heney remarked that the prosecu
tion is not dead and made the declara
tion that he would devote his life to
the vindication of the laws of Califor
nia and to show that no man Is above
the law of the state. Without using the
name of Gallagher, reference was made
to the dynamiting of the ex-Supervisor's
home. Mr. Ach objected to the remarks
of Heney, but, was overruled by Judge
Dooling.
Xo Sign of Agreement.
Mr. Heney concluded at 6 P. M. and
the Jury then went to dinner. When
court reconvened at 8 o'clock tonight.
Judge Dooling began the delivery of his
charge to the Jury. He consumed one
hour and a half in this delivery, of
which an hour was taken up in reading
the Instruction which had been sub
mitted by the attorneys for the defense.
The Jury then retired.
it is not believed there is a prospect
of reaching a- verdict tonight and very
few look for a report before late tomor
row. Judge Dooling remained in his
chambers until midnight, but, no report
Aomlng from the Jury up to that hour.

CALLS COTTON BROKERS
Federal Grand Jury to Inquire Into
Price Manipulation.
NEW YORK, May 19. A sensation was
caused on the New York Cotton Ex
change today when it became known
that a number of members of the ex
change had been subpenaed to appear
before the Federal grand Jury. One
rumor was that th6 subject under in--vestigatlon
was the trading of a very
large speculator in connection with ad
vance information secured by the specu
lator on Government crop estimates.
.It was generally understood that the
men summoned will be questioned as to
the methods of fixing the grades of cot
ton deliverable on the exchange. In
New York a committee meets twice a
year. In September and November, and
arbitrarily Axes what the differences for
all grades shall be for two months or
for ten months, while the New Orleans
exchange follows the actual market dif
ferences for these grades as established
by dally spot transactions.
In a recent repoij. on cotton ex
changes. Hebert Knox Smith, Commis
sioner of Corporations, said that in New
York the committee is usually made up
of men who are largely operators on
the exchange and who are constantly
interested in the future market.
"It is within their power," said the
Commissioner, "so to fix the differences
as to affect enormously the value of
their own future contracts. In the re
vision of November. 1906. when the dif
ferences fixed by the committee were
radically wrong, several members of this
committee have admitted that they
were at the time heavily interested in
future contracts and they profited by
the action of the committee. There is
no conclusive proof that they intended
this."

NORTH DEFENDS HIMSELF
Says Census Figures Correct and
Kidder's, Inaccurate; Gave Data
to Dalzell Pinchot Tells of
Dwindling Forests.
WASHINGTON. May 19. The taking
of evidence was not concluded today
by the wood pulp and print paper In
vestigation committee of the House,
as had been expected, and it will be
resumed tomorrow. A number of in
dependent manufacturers testified to
day and a great deal ot statistical evi
dence was placed on the record.
Referring to the telegram from John
Norris given out yesterday by the
committee. George Spearman, treasur
er of the St. Regis Paper Company, has
requested that newspapers which
printed the telegram will state that,
when he was before the committee
last Friday and before he had received
a promise of immunity, he declared his
connection with the Sparks manila
and fiber pool and acknowledged
his responsibility in that connection,
which is a fact. He said that he had
been advised by eminent counsel that
the pool was legal.
North Defends His Figures.
Director of the Census North was
the first witness today, and he ap
peared to reply to a letter sent by
Herman Ridder. president of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers' Associa
tion, to President Roosevelt and simul
taneously given to the press. Later
he accused the Director of the Census
of having issued a false and mis
leading series of figures regarding
news print paper prices. Mr. North
said that his figures were sent o Con
gressman Dalzell in a private letter,
after Mr. Dalzell had called upon him
and told him he wanted the informa
tion for a publisher in his Congres
sional district. Mr. North said he told
Mr. Dalzell that the census had been
official figures, and in reply to a re
quest from Mr. Dalzell said he was
trying to get the Information from
some other source. He said he got his
figures from the paper trade journal.
i Bidder's Prices Inaccurate.
He said that Mr. Ridder ignored
parts of his letter and was of the
opinion that Mr. Dalzell's figures rep
resented more accurately than did Mr.
Kidder's figures the prices paid in
the open market on the dates named
by the customer, who had no special
contract. The open market quota
tions, he said, were a safer index to
the fluctuations in the price of news
print paper than private contracts. "I
am informed that the figures which
Mr. Ridder contrasts with mine are
very Inaccurate statements of prices
that prevailed at that time," said Mr.
North.

Gilford Pinchot, Chief Forester, told
the committee that at the present rate
of cutting spruce supplies would be ex
hausted In New Hampshire in 25 years.

and Maine 28 years. There were other
woods, however, available for -paper-making,
and he gave the committee a list
of them. He thought spruce lands could
be cut over again in 30 years, but this
has been done within -15 years.
Letters were sent by the committee to
6932 publications having a circulation of
1500 or more. Up to last Saturday night,
1191 answers had been received and these
were turned over to the Census Bureau
for compilation.
Of that number 8R7 were sufficiently
complete to enable the bureau to tabu
late the information. Taking New York
as an example, the tables show that on
January 1, 1907, 106 papers reported that
the average price was $2.45 per 100. On
January 1, 1905, S5 reported the average
as $2.41, Oh January 1, 1900, 56 papers
Teported the average to be $2.35; January
1, 1897, 39 reported an average of $2.19;
January 1, 1894, 32 papers reported $2.59,
and on January 1, 1890, 16 papers reported
$3.24.
Regarding the removal of the tariff, 68
papers said it should be removed, 13
thought it should not be, 14 did not an

Declares Several Republican Nomi
nees Without Opponents, Have
Not Shown Proper Interest.
Generally encouraging reports, indi
cating the probable election of the en
tire Republican ticket, were made last
night by the precinct committeemen
at a meeting of the Republican County
Central Committee at Republican head
quarters in the Marquam building.
Probably 80 of the 114 members of the
committee attended the meeting, of
which Charles E. Lockwood was chair
man, in the absence of Chairman J. P.
Kennedy, who was engaged in other
campaign work.
Among those submitting reports was
W. M. Cake, state chairman, and com
mitteeman from Precinct No. 29. Mr.
Cake supplemented his precinct report
with a criticism of the members of the
committee for their apathy and appar
ent lack of Interest In the pending cam
paign and the success of the party's
candidates. Censure was directed par
ticularly against some of the Republi
can nominees who are fortunate enough
not to have any opponents in the gen
eral election.
Several of these, commented- Mr.
Cake, had not so much as visited head
quarters, and had done nothing toward
assisting their colleagues, against some
of whom the minority party was di
recting a vigorous campaign. The
state chairman presented the situation
to the committeemen in plain terms,
and declared that If they did not enter
Into the fight with the same vim the
opposition was exhibiting, some of the

days of the campaign, In the interest

where he secured an apparent victory
for the control of the National delega

"Alabama was claimed by the opposi

the returns answered the misrepresenta

mary system enables the voters to ex
press themselves.
"I appreciate very much the figrht that
has been made by my friends in Penn

and in Pennsylvania they had not only
the steel trust but several other trusts...

My remarks did not apily to Pennsyl

per cent of the vote I would have looked
on It as quiet a victory, and 25 per cent
would have been complimentary. My
friends have tried to make me believe
that I would win there, and I was satis

some of my friends have been."
