GALLAGHER POINT
OF BITTER ATTACK
ttorney Moore, of Calhoun
Defense, Flays ex-Supervisor
Mercilessly.
LONG TRIAL NEAR CLIMAX
Masterly Review of Trial Given in
Closing Argument That Is Filled
With Bursts of Oratory
and Sarcasm.
SAN FRANCISCO. June lB.-Wlth men
and women scrambling; and wrangling for
standing room in the courtroom. Patrick
Calhoun's explanation of the bribery Inci
dent against him practically wu submit
ted to the jury tonight when A. A. Moore,
enlor of the six counsel for the president
of the United Railroads, promised to sub
mit his case during; the flrst hour of to
tnorrow'a session.
As the nive months' trial aoproaches
.. Its climax, dormant public interest is
wakenln to the point of eager demon
etration, and the behavior of the public
at Carpenters Hall today sorely taxed
the patience of the dozen policemen sta
tioned at the courtroom's entrance. A
still greater crush Is expected tomor
row, when Mr. Moore concludes his ad
dress and the Inst of the arguments that
Dave now occupied full three days will be
concluded.
, Fine Review of Case.
A. A. Moore's argument, which has
already lasted eight hours, was pro
nounced tonight by adherents of both
aides a masterly review of the case.
is power of denunciation, his sarcasm,
lid his flights into classical realms'
evoked frequent murmurs of appreciation
or laughter from the audience; and while
the speaker openly confessed the weari
ness his hearers felt at the close of the
long day. the attendance had not dimin
ished when the hour of adjournment ar
rived. Patrick Calhoun, whose wife, daughters
end sons were present throughout Mr.
Moore s address, relaxed his solemn de
portment of the past few weeks and
laughed openly at some of the speaker s
Jnetaphors. His friends, business asso
ciates and the friends of his attorneys,
pressed htm into the foreground, but
throughout the day he never ceased to
observe the Jurora and take full note of
the scenes in the crowded sections be
hind him.
Sarcasm for Immunity.
Mr. Moore referred to the immunity
granted the Supervisor-witnesses as "a
strange and sad story. When we look
for a reason explaining the strange arti
fcialify of this transaction." he con
tinued, "it seems that these men were
taken into the fold of Spreckels under
Outstretched wings of the graft prose
cution whatever that grizzly horror may
"Gallagher and Nicholas were both
Jwearlng for their necks. There waa a
kind of bastard immunity given them
sort of bunco game since pronounced
Illegal, that nearly approaches bribery
Itself."
At the time of adjournment Mr. Moore
bad attacked every vital feature of the
prosecutions argument, paying particu
lar attention to alleged discrepancies in
the. testimony of the Supervisors, to the
negations that Rudolph Spreckels
wanted a rival street railway system
nd to the activities of private agents of
the prosecution.
No Mercy for Gallagher.
Mr. Moore was particularly severe in
Ms denunciation of James L. Gallagher
head of the Supervisors.
"The top of his head does not emerge
Irom the pit of corruption he has
digged for himself. If you knew a
Oian who had added perfidy to perjury,
had then turned informer and sworn
bis confederates into jail, would you
return a dog to the pound on his testi
mony? Or would you deprive a man of
Ms liberty and honor on the same au
thority?" Mr. Moore, declaring that hundreds of
Innocent lives wero taken in the French
revolution upon the perjured state
ments of informers, and graphically de
scribing the scenes in Paris during the
reign of terror said:
"And the knitters, poor misguided
women, actuated by the highest of
patriotism, sat by the guillotine and
Knitted as the blood dripped, dripped
from the boards. And they knitted
when Madame Roland, a noble patriot,
raised her white arms as she ascended
the block and said, 'O. liberty, what
crimes are committed in thy "name." "
As he rpuke, Mr. Moore turned from
the Jury and dirt c ted his gaze to where
were seated a score of women wearing
tiny American flags, emblems of the
Citizens' League of Justice, an organi
lation friendly to the prosecution.
Women Grow Restless.

HONOLULU, June 16. With the lead
ers awaiting a reply to their appeal to
Ambassador Takahlra at Washington to
make the arrest of four Japanese edi
tors and the seizure of their papers last
week by the territorial authorities the
subject of an International inquiry, there
have been no further developments ln
the Japanese strike situation.
Small groups of Japanese have returned
to work unmolested on some of the plan
tations, and numerous conferences were
held today by the leaders, whose prelim
inary examination on the charges of
vuiisjjiracy win oegin Jfriaav morning.
Po'llce Still Vlglrknt.
Precautionary measures taken by the
police have not been relaxed, but so far
there has been no Indication of disorder
on the part of the strikers, who, while
much Incensed over the arrest of their
leaders, are conducting themselves peace
ably. The authorities, however, are appre
hensive that the coming of the Japanese
cruisers Aso and Soya, which will ar
rive In a few days from Seattle, will be
made an occasion for a demonstration on
the part of the strikers.
Leaders Talk of Ships.
Both the coming of the Japanese train
ing squadron and that of the cruiser St.
Louis, wnich also will arrive at Hono
lulu in a few days, are ln accordance
with a schedule arranged many weeks
ago by the navy departments of the two
countries. This, however, is not being
told the Ignorant strikers by their lead
ers, who are taking advantage of the
occasion and" making use of the coming
of the Japanese .warships to get their
forces to stand firm la their demands for
higher wages, and not return to work.
Renewed threats. It Is said, have been
made against M. Sheba, editor of a local
conservative Japanese paper, who op
posed the strike. He has requested the
police to furnish him with a bodyguard.
