WILSON GIVES LINK
Shows Connection of Ruef
With Bribery.
GOT SUPERVISORS IN LINE
l'roves Willing Witness Against Cal
lioun When Immunity Contract
, Ms Been Revoked and
Remembers All.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 Andrew M.'
"Wilson, whose failure to testify to cer
tain recollections In one of the trials of
Tirey I Ford was followed by revo
cation of his immunity contract and his
Indictment upon three charges of hav
1ns; accepted bribes, was the principal
witness in. today's session of the trial
?-f .f.tr,c,t clhoun. president of the
t nlted Railroads. Under direct ex
amination of Assistant District Attor
ney John O'Gara. Wilson recited the
story of how he sounded the members
of the Schmitc Board of Supervisors
on the proposal to pass the overhead
trolley permit, and was promised 1 10 -000
for his vote and effort after con
versations with James L. Gallagher and
Abraham Ruef. Stanley Moore, of the
defense, .supplementing Earl Ropers as
cross-examiner, subjected Wilson to a
severe cross-examination that had not
been completed when the hour of ad
journment had arrived.
That Mamlock. the tlth member of
Ihe Schmits Board of Supervisors sum
moned, testified that he had been prom
ised $4000 for his vote on the trolley
permit by Gallagher, and he recalled
that he had received J2000 from Galla
gher In a safe deposit vault, but he
could not recollect the circumstances
under which the second payment was
made, although he was certain that
Gallagher had given him the money.
Mr. Rigers devoted most of his ques
tions to the understanding Mamlock
had with Gallagher. The witness re
called that Wilson had corroborated
Gallagher's promise of money and Mr.
Rogers expressed mild surprise that the
matter was not mentioned by the wit
ness at preceding trials. Mamlock ad
mitted that his recollection had been
strengthened by reading his previous
testimony, but Mr. Rogers asked:
"Does your memory, likeold wine. Im
prove with a lapse of time?"
'Some memories do, Mr. Rogers," an
swered Mamlock.
Wilson's testimony was regarded as es
pecially important by the prosecution be
cause it furnished a second link directly
connecting Abraham Ruef with a mem
ber of the board. Wilson told of several
conversations regarding the trolley per
mit with Gallagher, saytng:
"In compliance with a request by Gal
lagher, I sounded some of the Super
visors on the trolley matter and reported
to Gallagher that the matter could be
passed. He told me I would get $10,000
or more. Subsequently Gallagher paid
me the money in two installments."
Wilson, when asked to relate his con
versations with Ruef, said:
"I had a talk with Ruef a week be
fore the ordinance was passed, and he
told me he was negotiating with the
United Railroads attorneys, who had
submitted to him an application for a
number of franchises.
"Ruef said he had returned the ap
plications and recommended that they
substitute an application for a permit,
the franchise to come up later. He told
me that Gallagher would see me later
and give me the amounts decided on as
necessary to put It through."
On a. second occasion, Wilson said he
met Ruef in the board rooms oh the
day the permit was passed.
"He said he expected to find at his
office the permit ordinance, and be re
quested that I introduce it and make a
strong talk for It." said Wilson. "To
this I agreed, and the ordinance was
passed later In the day."

FIRE DESTROYS SALOON
Germania at The Dalles Damaged
$4000 by Blaze.
THE DALLES, Or., May 4. (Special.)
A fire which started about 9 o'clock this
morning in the building occupied by the
Germania saloon and rooming-house for
a time threatened to destroy the entire
block of frame buildings on Second Btreet,
between Court and Union streets, in this
city.
A strong wind was blowing from the
west at the time, but after an hour's
hard work by the volunteer firemen, dur
ing which time five streams of . water
were steadily- played on the building, the
flames were under control. Loss to
buildings and fixtures is estimated at
$4000. The building waa fully covered by
Insurance. The origin of the Are is sup
posed to have been a defective electric
light wire.
The building is owned by the Star

the Oakland detectives were on the
watch for just such confidence schemes
and a member of the "force" applied
for one of these Alaskan Jobs at "$60
a month and found." Then followed a
little quick communication between the
Oakland Chief of Police and the San
Francisco office of the Geological Sur
vey and also the Director of the Survey
at Washington.
In the meantime the applicants for
the Alaskan positions were many and
Coble was evidently expecting a rich
haul for his three days" work. Thirty
applicants were to report on Tuesday

Scheme AVas to Hire Young Men for
Alaskan Service, Require Deposit
of 96 5 'From Each, Tben Ap
propriate Funds to Himself.
WASHINGTON, D. C-, May 4. (Spe
cial.) Clever detective work and
prompt action on the part of the police
of Oakland, Cal., prevented a bogus
geologist of the United States Geo
logical Survey from fraudulently col
lecting and making off with several
thousand dollars.
One D. P. Coble, possessing several
aliases and hailing from Vancouver,
B. C. has confessed to the authorities
he thought it would be simple and easy
way to outfit himself for a trip to Mex
ico by stopping in Oakland and engag
ing a number of young men for United
States Geological Survey work in Alas
ka during the coming season, requir
ing them to deposit with him $65 each
as a guaranty they would not quit the
service.
He therefore opened an office In Oak
land, hired a stenographer had $25
worth of work done in printing Geo
logical Survey letterheads and elabor
ate blanks, forged several cleverly
written letters addressed to himself
from the Director of the Survey, show
ing his authority to hire young men
for Government service, and then in
serted an advertisement for such young
men in the Oakland papers.
He was well prepared to carry out
