groom plans a production by some
prominent American actor of his poetic
drama, "The Merchant Prince of Corn

Federal Court decided Edmund Rostand,
the French dramatist, stole the Ideas
which are In "Cyrano de Bergerac."
"I hope to see the drama successfully
presented here," said Mr. Gross.
"That will constitute a vindication for
me before the American public. Then
I shall have It produced In Paris, Ros

will happen then? He will be removed
from membership In the French Acad

play. He studied It for two years be

know, and when he was called upon to
write another he still had to go hack to

SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. (Special.)
The strain of the publicity Incidental
to 'the exposure of Adjutant-General
Ortls Hamilton has proven too much for
Mrs. Hazel Moore, and she is under the
care of a physician, according to a
statement Riven out tonight at the
home of her mother, Mrs. Alexander
Moore, 466 Rose street. Oakland. At
the Moore home It was stated that Mrs.
Hazel Moore was on the verge of a
nervoxis breakdown.
Mra. Moors arrived in Oakland late
. Tuesday night. She was met at the de
pot by a red automobile, and with her
daughter was driven rapidly to the
home of her mother. The Moore resi
dence was besieged all night by an
army of newspaper men and photogra
phers. Mis. Moore, the mother, asked
that a policeman be detailed to keep the
newspaper men away from the house,
but the request was refused. The
mother sat up all night In a chair by a
window and refused to answer the door
bell or any summons by telephone.
This afternoon mother and daughter,
worn out by the persistence of the
newspaper men, consented to inter
views. Mrs. Hazel Moore stated that
General Hamilton was a dear friend of
her former husband, Frank Moore, a
Southern merchant of means, and de
nied that she had accepted any money
from him.
The mother, who a week ago said
that she did not want to have anything
more to do with her daughter, has come
to her defense. She said this after
noon that her daughter and grand
daughter were persecuted, and that they
could have a home with her as long as
they cared to remain. She said that,
even if her daughter had made mis
takes, the way to repair them was not
to cast her oil and persecute her, but to
show her a little Christian charity.

Spreckels' Motives.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. With Pat
rick Calhoun s trial entering upon its
fifth month much matter new to the
bribery investigation was presented dur
ing the exhaustive examination of James
D. Phelan, who occupied the stand dur
ing the entire session today. From
statements made by Assistant restrict
Attorney Francis J. Heney durl.ig the
proceedings today It is learned that Ru-
uoipn bpreckels. one of the most oromi
nent figures in the prosecution, will be
called as a witness either tomorrow or
"rlday.
Motives of Phelan's Action.
The examination of Mr. Phelan had
to do with the reasons and motives that
actuated him in assisting the inceDtion
of the prosecution; his acts as Mayor of
tne city during his three consecutive
terms in office; all the controversies
over the trolley matter prior to the fire
of 1906; his connection with the' Valley
Kaiiroaa in tne San Joaquin Valley; his
relatione with Rudolph Spreckels at vari
us times and many other matters dis
tantly related to the present trial, though
tending to Indicate his state of mind
throughout the whole of these trans
actions. Mr. Phelan was excused at the close
of the day with a provision by the de
fense that he might be "recalled if they
so desired.
Proposed Donation to City.
After having told the story of the
controversy between the United Railways
and the Adornment Association. Mn. Phe
lan identified a letter from Calhoun to
the association dated March 30, 1906. In
this letter it was stated that the asso
ciation proposed and the railway com
pany agreed that the question of trolley
or underground wires should be left to
the people, and the company agreed to
donate to the Park Panhandle extension
the difference in cost should the trolley
system be adopted. Mr. Pheian denied
that the proposition ever came from the
association and said that he told Cal
houn the donation to the Park Pan
handle could not be considered.
A letter dated March 23 was then in
troduced, in which Calhoun withdrew
the offer because of threatening legal
steps against his company, but Mr. Phe
lan said he had no knowledge of any
such legal steps.
Not Allowed to Lift Lid.
Mr. Heney then drew out the fact
of the Incorporation of the Municipal
Street Railways Company by Mr. Phelan.
the Spreckels brothers and others on
April 17, 1906, the day before the earth
quake. Mr. Heney then sought to inquire Into
the reason for capitalizing the company
at J14.000.000. to which the defense ob
jected. "I thought you wanted the" bars thrown
down." said Mr, Heney to counsel for
Calhoun. "You have been insinuating
all through this trial malicious motives
"on the part of certain men. Now we
propose to open it up and let you - go
as far as you like, but you are not
willing to do it."
The court sustained the objection, and
following another question or two the
witness was surrendered for cross
examination. (
Plans of Rival Company.
Earl Rogers? for the defense, intro
duced a newspaper article dated Decem
ber 15, 1906, telling of the plans of the
company of which Rudolph Spreckels was
the moving spirit and Mr. Phelan an
adviser. Mr. Phelan said he did not
know that engineers were then at work.
A letter from Claua Spreckels to a news
paper dated March 23, 1906, was read, in
which he expressed bitter opposition to
the trolley system and declared he would
aid in incorporating an underground con
duit system if the United Railways per
sisted. Mr. Phelan admitted that the
Municipal Company quit after the fire,
having lost a great deal of money, but
could have engaged private capital. He
denied " knowledge of a trip made by
Abe Ruef with Rudolph Spreckels over
the proposed route, but he did know that
Mr. Spreckels had gone to Mayor
Schmltz In regard to the advertisement
for bids for a franchise.
Good Results Attained.
Mr. Rogers then Inquired into the sale
of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad to
the Santa Fe and the Independent Gas
& Electric Company to the old gas com
pany, and regarding the latter asked:
"Those lines were sold to the company
with which they were built to compete,
were they not? asked Mr. Rogers.
"They -first established the fact that
gas could be made and sold at a. dollar
a thousand feet with a profit, replied
Mr. Phelan.

transaction was distasteful to him.
Other witnesses were Sidney Newell,

PORTLAND MUST BRACE
DUGDALE PASSES OUT SOME AD

Says .Class of Other Teams Underes

SPOKANE, May 12. (Special.) "I be
lieve both Portland and Aberdeen will be
playing much better ball on the second
swing around the circuit," says D. E.
Dugdale, of the Seattle baseball club.
"To my way of thinking, both these
teams came into the Northwestern
League this season underestimating the
strength of the organization.
"Manager Rowland, with his bunch of
Three-Eye Leaguers, has been simply
looking on for the first few weeks of this
season. The class shown against his
team has stopped the bunch temporarily,
but as soon as he gets started with the
proper idea of what his team has to
meet, I believe Aberdeen will come to
the front and fight for the flag.
"The same might be said of the Port
land club. Casey was put In charge of
the team with a couple of the Coast
League players behind him, in the hope
that with the addition of some ordinary
players he would be able to stay at the
top of the list in the Northwestern.
"Now that both of the teams have found
they must get together and play better
ball, or be counted out, I believe they will
brace."
