TRACE MOXEY PAID AT MINT Prosecution Trles to Show How Su pervisors Got $200,000. SAN FRANCISCO, May 7. The prose cution in the case of Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Railroads, on trial for offering a bribe, continued to day Its. painstaking effort to trace the J200.000 in currency paid to Tirey L. Ford at the mint on Calhoun's order in 1906, to the hands of the Supervisors, or rather to their alleged agent, Abra-. ham Ruef, from the office of -Ford, where the last positive evidence on the subject left it. The acting treasurer, A. M. Dahler, of the company, through whose hands all moneys, either received or paid out. must pass, was, perhaps, the most im portant witness of the day, since he showed that this great sum had not been handled in the. ordinary course of business, or, in fact, passed through his office at all. From this statement and the previous testimony of other witnesses as to the visits of Ruef to Ford's office, some where around the time the money was conveyed there by Ford and Abbott, It is the hope of the prosecution to con vince the Jury that no other deduction is possible but that the money was paid to Ruef and by him disbursed to the Supervisors. Evidence taken today was all along the line of elimination of other possible explanations for the withdrawal from the mint In cash of these particular amounts. The only other feature of . the day was the testimony of George B. Wilcutt, secretary and controller of the United Railroads Company, who brought into court the minute books of the directors' meeting for the year 190S. Wilcutt re lated the election of Mr. Calhoun as president, and told of the holding of all but some 25 shares of United Railroads stock by the United Railroads Invest ment Company. He was asked to bring to court such franchises belonging to the company as were saved from the tire in 1906, on Monday, when the case will be resumed. George H. Myers, a newspaper man wlio was present at the Board of Super visors meeting on May 14. 1906. when the trolley ordinance was passed to print, told of the reading and passage of the measure. Questions by the prosecution laid stress on the fact that Myers, who was a regular attendant at the board meetings, had never heard of the matter until it was read for pass age. Mrs. Henrietta Sittenfeld. sister of Abraham Ruef. was the next witness. She produced a receipt for $3500, paid to I A. Rea by her on, June 2, on be half of her brother, in a business trans action, but could not recall in what form the money was paid over. Alexander S. Latham, Ruef's chauf feur in the Summer of 1906, told of driving Ruef to the United Railroad of fices twice. The dates of these visit he could not recall. He was dismissed without cross-examination.

How long do you believe "peace would be preserved under such cond itions? "Now, the Navy and Army constitute the police force of the Nation, and we will have our hands nlled "with trouble unless they are maintained in full strength and to a high degree of ef ficiency. "The United States must not be a lag gard in naval and 'military preparations if she .s to maintain her supremacy." FRICTION INJURES NAVY CONGRESSMAN SAYS NAVY IS IN NEED OF ECONOMY.
