SAN KRANeiStX March 14.-Jude
linnes Indignation at the attemptb to
prove that he hud promised Abe-Ruef im
munity from . punishment and at . the
higher courts for saving Schmit. and In
cidentally Ruef. from the penitentiary, got
the better of hu Judicial dignity today.
He denounced us false the affidavits of
Rabbis N-ieto .and Kaplan, and was on
the point of sentencing Ruef on one of the
indictment to wiieh the bous'had pleaded
guilty when Ruef's attorney interposed a
motion to arrest judgment. Then, he
launched out in denunciation of the
Court of Appeals and abruptly adjourned
court, refusinK to rule on a motion to re
duce Ruef's ball and thus foiling an at
Umpt to secure that worthy'e release
from Jail.
Heney Move for Sentence.
Assistant DiRtrlct Attorney Francis J.
Meney had ask d for a week's time to see
If pood Indictments could be carved out
K the extortion indictments declared by
1 he Appellate Court, In the case of ex
fcluyor fichmitz. who was convicted on
the jtaunt- chargu, to be fatally defective,
which election was unanimously sustained
by tiie 'Supreme Court. Judge . Dunne,.
howevr, dismissed four of the five In
dictments, at tlie game time directing the-J-lHtrit
Attorney to resubmit the fact 9
to another grand jijry.
Whep Indictment 30. to which Ruef had
pleaded suilty, came up. Prank J. Murphy,
Rfjsoclate counsel for Ruef, asked that the
Sffendant be allowed to withdraw his
ph-a. bavins: filed a lengthy affidavit sev
eral day ago as a foundation for this
motion. -
Mr. Heney opposed the withdrawal of
the pica, argued that the facts In the In
dictment had only been "defectively
slated," and trint the defendant by plead
ing guilty had waived all rights and was
not entitled to be dineharK'd because of
the decision of the Supreme Court.
"He now stands before this court for
sentence," said the Assistant District At
torney, "and the recommendation of the
District Attorney, tn view of the evidence
In the Schmitx case. Is that the defend
ant be given the full term of punishment
provided by law for such cases."
Judgo Denounce Rabbis. -
Mr. Murphy then began to summarize
the grounds upon which the motion was
made. When -be reached thtft.part of
Ruef's affidavit where he said that Dr.
Jacob Nteu and ; Dr.. Bernard " Kaplan,,
two prominent Jewish rabbis, had statx
to the defendant that Judge Dunne had
promised to" permit Uuf to withdraw his
plea if lie pleaded guilty as" desired by
the prosecution. Judge Dunne Interposed
with:
"Stop, Mr,, Murphy. I want to. stop
you right there, to say that any person
making any such statements as that is
telling a wilful, villous falsehood and a
deliberate untruth, made for no other
purpose than to interfere with the admin
istration of justice and to assist the
greatest criminal that has ever appeared
before the bar of this cpurt to escape
his just deserts. . .
"1 want to say that. If 1 had the power,
would order this whole matter submit
ted to the grand Jury, to the end that In
dictments might be returned, but that
power does not lie with the cpurt, but
with the District Attorney. .
"Let me tell you again, all persons, no
matter how high their station or how re
spectable their calling, should be brought
to the bar of Justice and the higher their
station and the more respectable their
calling, the more reprehensible their con
duct and the more certain and severe
should be their punishment.
"The motion Is denied. Abraham Ruef,
stand up.
Ruef Trembles on Verfce.
The color fled from Ruef's face. For
perhaps half a minute he did not move
fronu hi chair. Then slowly he arose,
and, pale and agitated, he stood by
the side of his counsel, expecting1 that
the next few words from Judge Dunne
would be his sentence, and only re
course to habeas corpus would save
htm from being taken to the peniten
tiary. Mr. Murphy was utterly taken
bat k by the sudden turn of affairs.
Judge Dunne slowly recited the his
tory of the vase and the defendant's
pica of guilty. When the Court said,
Abraham Ruef. do you know of any
legal grounds why sentence should not
be passed upon you?" Mr. Murphy has
tily interposed a motion to arrest
judgment,, while Ruef sank back into
his chair.
Mr. H uoy then said:
When Court. Reverse Themselves.
Thf oniy chanc ih people have to have
Mr. Ru pimiihs3 tmrjer thl p!a 19 for his

H raff committed error. It- would Hot be the
iVt that' that It 1 acknowledged rommlttlng
error, nor wouM it be the fir? time the same
sort of thin happened tn ther states. 1
recall that in ijisuoun. when the t-ollvieai

reached the Suprem Court of Missouri, it
rverad tn such a way that he went

the vtiine trouble agvtn came before the court,
with fon.e intgntricant perscnage having bees
vonvit tid. and the court very promptly re
ered Uself and held th other way. It la
barlT pottb!e that a change of .heart or. a
char.s of understanding or a change of soma
kind might occur here.
Shot at Appellate Court.
"Vf." interjected the Court, "that
might happen with some other defend
ant, but not the one now before the
BREAKS
IS
Court." Continuing. Judge Dunne said:
Tl)e" defendant would be sent to Fo'som frr
the maximum term permitted by av If the
Fuprero Court had aot coin to his relief on
Monday Hut at this tUn I sea no alterna
tive than to grant the motion.
I want tr ny here. both a a cltlten and

equally ope to them, which would bring aa
Hiuoh comfort and encouragement to the
forces of good aa the conclusion which they
did rtova w4ii bring to tha force? of evil
throught'Ut the state.
; Keeps Ruef In Jail. .
. Mr. Murphy then brought up the
matter 'of the double indictment, ene
aeries of which he wanted dismissed,

i
Dunne picked up his papers and
lfft the- bench, saying: . -
"That's a matter between you and
the District Attorney," while Mr. Mur
phy kept shouting: 1
"I want to make a motion. T want
"to make a -mutton." until the Judge-disappeared
in .hhi chambers.-.
Ruef cannot take any. further action
in the matter of the dismissal of thf

HE CANNOT SERVE BOTH
DEVLIN" XOT TO CONDUCT HAR
KIMAX REBATE CASES.
Tries to Serve Both Government and
Railroad, but Is Prime Favorite
With the Southern Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 14. (Spe
cial. )-InfiuIries fn regrard to the delay
in instituting prosecutions against the
Southern Pacific for rebating have
elicited the explanation from Wash
ington that United Statf-8 Attorney
Robert T. Devlin is to be displaced for
these cases by a special ' agent of the
Attorney-General.
The disqualification of Mr. Devlin is
based on his affilfations, legal and po
litical, with the Harrirnan company.
Mr. Devlin acted as attorney .for the
Southern Pacific in Sacramento before
his appointment to his present posi
tion. It was thought that with his
appointment he had relinquished the
railroad business, but a recent case re
vealed the peculiar arrangement by
which Mr. Devlin continued to act as
attorney for the railroad while inves
tigating its wrongful acts. The at
tention of the administration at Wash
ington was called to this state of af
fairs, and then it was that a delay in
.the arrangements for the local prose
cutions was ordered.
Mr. Devlin professes to see nothing
awry in his double service, to the South
ern Pacific on the one hand and the Gov
ernment on the other. Mr. Devlin's po
litical connections with the Southern Pa
cific are so close that it has been current
gossip that the machine was grooming
him for the United States Senatorship.
At Mr. Devlin's offices today it was
stated that the rebating as disclosed by
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Franklin K. Lane was purely a state
affair. On ' the contrary, Mr. Lane held
that the violations were interstate.
. Local influences -have, been .used t'.

CARACAS, Venezuela,' March 12, via
"Willemstad, Curacao. March 14. The
Superior Court today handed down a ver
dict confirming the judgment of the lower
court, which condemned the New York &
Bermudez Asphalt Company to pay a fine
of J5.000.000 to the Venezuelan government
for having extended assistance to the
revolution which was directed against
President Castro. This sum ts the esti
mated cost of putting down the revolu

of Cassation. .
The controversy between the asphalt
company and the Venezuelan government
has been long and bitter and was in a
critical state at the time that Herbert W.
Bowen was American Minister at Cara
cas. On this occasion the State Depart
ment sent what was practically an ulti
matum to Venezuela in regard to the
matter. The charge that the company
aided. the revolution with funds has been
substantiated, officials of the company
having testified to the truth of this state
ment in New York In 1905.

Ezra Meeker last night addressed the St.

T THE BILL
Burton's Reasons for Oppos
ing Fowler Measure.
MAKES RADICAL CHANGE
Says Guaranty of Deposits Would
Encourage Reckless Banking and
Speculation and, Depositor
Would Lose at the Finish.
'WASHINGTON, March 14. Representa
tive Burton, of Ohio, today submitted to
the House his minority report as a mem
ber of the baft king and currency com
mittee, dissenting from the majority re
port, which recommended the passage of
the Fowler currency bill. Mr. Burton's '
report concerns itself wholly with the
Fowler bill and his reasons for opposing
it, and makes no reference to either the
Aldrlch bill or .the Williams bill, the
latter, measure having been recommended
by the Democratic members In a minority
report.
In his repdrt Mr. Burton says that he
does, not regard the passage of the Fowler
bill as either practicable or desirable at
this time. He adds:
Good Points of Bill.
This bill raakee elaborate provisions for
the changed conditions which would ejist by
reason of the adoption of Its provisions. It
has many features which will roeftt with
very general commendation and .no doubt. If
legislation should be framed for the crea
tion of a banking system, many of . them
would be adopted. It contemplates the issue
of bank notes against assets in accordance
with the demands of business, thereby giving
elasticity to the currency and adjusting its
volume to the requirement of trade. It may
toe conceded that this is the most correct
principle for the issuance of currency.
After citing further provisions of the
bill and admitting the soundness of their
theory, Mr. Burton says:
Revolution in Currency.
At the same time the meajmre Is most revo
lutionary In it character. The changes con
templated are quite as radical as have ever
been attempted in any advanced country, save
undr the stress of highly exceptional cir
cumstances, euch as are exacted by war or
a change in the form of government. For
more than 40 years there has been a cur
rency which, however unsatisfactory it may
be In Important particuiitre, has possessed
the quality of undoubted security. The poo
pie will not readily consent to so marked a
departure as would be involved in the sub
stitution of a guaranty . fund which hi ex
pected to ecure not only a probable $1,000.
OCO.0O0 of toank notes, but 113.000.000,000 or
deposits.
' Danger of Giving Guaranty.
While the voluntary agreement of banks
for the ' guaranty of common deposits Is
worthy of universal approval, a compulsory
guaranty fas dangerous and unprecedented.
Such a provision places upon the same level
the banker of prudence and honesty and the
one who Is careless and ready to resort to
questionable methods. If there Is any line
of business in which car and conservatism
it If ban k trig. Th is proposed
$ Uie very qualities at a

Under a guaranty of deposits

to banks or financial institutions in
center, because higher rates of
culd be obtained, though the re
sult uVtiM be that capital would be invented
In a manner which .would be sure to lead to
speculation and to unsuccessful undertakings.
In the long run the public , as In the cawe of
all oppreMive or unnatural. legislation, would
be- compelled to bear the Iop, either ! the
form of higher rates ot interest or of a Tower

ing of the advisory council and officers
of the National Congress of Mothers -held

TOO BVMPTIOVS.
Jealous of Japan's Success, Says
Hepburn, Britain Alone AVould
Not Rejoice in Our Defeat.
NEW TORK, March 14. Ex-Controller
of the Currency A. B. "Hepburn,
now president of the Chase National
Bank, after a two month's sojourn tn
Europe gave out the following interview
today :
The one thing- that most atronely im
presses itself upon the mind of a care
ful observer in Europe at the present time
Is the fact that the Continent of Europe
does not like the United States. They re
gard us as a bumptious people that ought
to be spanked into some sort of decorum,
and they would welcome and rejoice in an
International complication not involving
themselves that would brlns us into diffi
culties. We are their commercial and finan
cial rivals They think- or affect to. that
their present- financial and commercial diffi
culties are chargeable to us.
It Is our (rowing importance as a naval
and military power that most disturbs them.
It disturbs- the international balance of
power as it heretofore existed and upon
which their diplomacy has heretofore been
based.
Neither does the Continent of Europe like
Japan, and for similar reasons. Her re
cently achieved naval and military prestlpre
and her English alliance have brought Japan
into the front in the family of nations,
and as a force that must be reckoned with
in world politics. Commerce is rufferlng a
serious check and is bound in future. In
view Tof the wonderful commercial adapta
bility1 and activity of the Japanese, to en
counter a competition heretofore unknown.
England is the only European power that
would not ' welcome a condition of affairs
that might bring to us disaster or defeat.
