Six of the Jurors bave been practical prisoner at the St. Francis Hotel since March 9. The trial is estimated to have cost 150.000. and the record Includes 4.250.000 words, f which 2.50O.000 were spoken In the examination of talesmen. C'viiftatle Aganst Bribery. The trial Is the climax' of a crusade fcea-an by K. J. Heney. backed ftnan ejally by Kudolph Spreckels. J. r. Phelan and others, against bribery In the city government of San Francisco. In November, 1!0.1. Mr. Hencv publlcly chargred Abe Rnef, the boss, and Eu rene Schmltz. the Mayor, with corrup tion. W. ' J. Burns, a (invprnmrnt secret service agent, was employed to secure the evidence. In March, 1S07, he trapped Charles Hoxion. Kdward' I. vv'alsh aud Thomas Lonera-an. .Supervis ors. Into accepting- bribes, and with this leveroa-e extorted confessions which Implicated Kuef. Schmits and all the other Supervisors, with one or twg ex ceptions. The confessions showed that the Tinted Hallways Company had paid S00.ooo ror a trollev franchise that the Pacific States Telephone Com pany paid to have a franchise refused to Its rival, the Home, and that the Home paid to secure a franchise which It did not get; that restaurant-keepers and keepers of disreputable houses paid blackmail tor Immunity from prosecution: that a syndicate of fight promoters paid bribes to secure a monopoly.

Supervisor Coffey has been tried and sentenced for re ceiving a bribe, having renounced his Pledge to testify ror the prosecution in consideration of which he was pledged Immunity. Charge Against Calhoun. The charge against Calhoun is that on the day after the Supervisors granted the trolley franchise, on May 21, 1906, he sent from New York to the Mint In this city $200,000. wjiich he had pre viously authorized the Mint officials to pay to Tlrey 1. Ford. The money, as is admitted, was withdrawn in threo installments by Ford, who presented orders signed by Calhoun. It was al leged by tiie prosecution that within a few days after each of Fords visits to the Mint, he received a call from Ruef. Following this theory, James Ual lagher, chairman of the Supervisors, testified that Ruef had paid him over (40.000 in July, and an equal amount In the following month. Gallagher de clared that he had retained $15,000 for himself, had paid J10.0OO to Andrew M. "Wilson, one of his lieutenants, and had given $4000 to each of the other Super visors. It was affirmed by the prose cution that Ruef and Schmitx divided the balance of the fund, amounting to about JU5.000. The charge on which Calhoun was tried is the bribery of Supervisor Fred P. Nicholas, who testi fied against him. Sensational Incidents. The trial and the period Immedlatelv preceding have been replete with start ling Incidents. The house of Galla gher In Oakland was blown up with dynamite, and one of two brothers named Claudianes has admitted that they were hired to commit the crim by Paudevarls, an emplovment agent for the United Railroads. One of the brothers has been convicted and sen tenced: the other was discharged for lack of evidence. On March 25 and 26 three employes of W. J. Burns confessed that they Had sold information and documents of the prosecution to the defense, and they were arrested, together with W. M. Ab bott. Luther G. Brown and other offi cials of the Cnited Railroads. This was followed by a raid on the United Rail roads offices, under a search-warrant, and the seizure of about 2000 papers alleged to have been stolen from the prosecution. The search was conUnued even after an injunction had been served on the officers, and charges of contempt followed, which are still pending.

(Continued From First Tage.) floor, where th. jurors indulged in graver discussion, and no person was permitted to approach any spot that even com manded a view of the Jury room. Patrick Calhoun, sitting in his accus tomed place at his attornevs' table for a time regarded the rows of spectators without exchanging a remark with any of his associates. Later, however, he engaged in an animated conversation with his attor neys and several times the defendant laughed heartily at some remark by one of the little group. Meanwhile the two older daughters of Calhoun chat !d,with friends 'n the corner nearest their fathers seat, and his young son. whose first appearance In the court room was of recent date, viewed the proceedings with suspnsc. Outside the room chatting with As sistant District Attorney John OGara and surrounded by agent3 of the Dis trict Attorney's office was Rudolph Spreckels. whose private subscriptions to the cause of the grafi prosecutions made one of the important issues of the trial. Later James D. J'helan, twice Mayor of San Francisco, and one of the financial supporters f the prose cution, made his first appoarance in the courtroom as a spectator since he was called as a witness some time ago The first disorder in the heated chamber was when the 12 men who will decide the charge of bribery against the street railway magnate filed out of the jury box under escort of two Deputy Sheriffs, just . sworn anew to keep them safeguarded. As Judge Lawlor left the bench the deportment of the spectators was re laxed. Mr. Calhoun! rose from his seat and strolled over to the rail, conversing first with a host of his associates who thronged about him. and next with his wife and daughters, who remained after many of the spectators had departed. The defendant's manner was confident, and he chatted and laughed with his friends as if no Issue of such Import was about to be decided. The streets in the immediate vicinity of the building were cleared by 'the po lice after the seating capacity of the courtroom had been exhausted.

When Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney. who had spoken 15 hours at the end of last night's ses sion, resumed the final stage of his ar gument, his voice was so hoarse that every word had a rasping sound, but the volume was undiminished, and he spoke more rapidly than upon previous appearances, apparently in an effort to make the most of his allowance of 90 minutes. At intervals he paused to wipe his face, flushed beyond its usual ruddiness and covered with perspira tion. Mr. Heney made' direct charges of witness-fixing and perjury against sev eral officers or employes of the United Railroads Of Luther Brown, of Los Angeles, he said: "He Is another of their . trained and practiced perjurers who swore he never induced Ruef's chauffeur to leave the state." Mr. Heney brought his argument to a close three minutes ahead of the allotted time. A moment before he was engaged In a review of the testimony of a super visor. Judge Lawlor reminded him that the remaining moments were few, and Mr. Heney, throwing aside a quantity of notes yet unreferred to, said: "Gentlemen. I thank you for your atten tion. I leave this case in your hands, confident and expectant that San Fran cisco will have no cause to question the good faith of your verdict, whatever It may be, and that the State of California will learn from your conduct that you do not have to bring before a jury the men who saw a briber pass the money to secure a. conviction-; and that a vast amount of circumstantial evidence will not be treated as insufficient when a wealthy man is on trial, although a su pervisor Coffey for instance can be con victed In a few minutes." After a recess of five minutes the doors were locked and the judge began his in structions to the jury. CXAIDIAXES HAS HIS FREEDOM District Attorneys Make Application for His Release.

CONSTITUTION BARS IT Republic Wrill Xot Even Discuss the Question With Monarchy Whoso Yoke She Threw Off With Aid of America. HAVANA, June 19. Secretarv of State Velez. in replying to Senor Soler the Spanish Minister, has declined to consider Spain's proposal t"hat Cuba assume a portion of the Spanish National debt. This announcement was made at the close of what Senor Velez described as most amicable negotiations between him self and the Spanish Minister relative to Spain's desire that Cuba assume a pro portion of ,the Spanish debt. The Sec retary today gave out the following of ficial statement: o-"T Spanish Minister to Cuba on May 2i. 1909. addressed to the Cuban Depart ment of State a . courteous note setting forth the desire of his government to maintain the closest and most friendly re lations w ith Cuba as becoming two coun tries s6 closely united by blood, tradi tion and mutual interest. He said that he had been instructed to express the de sire of Spain for a discussion of the mat ter of the debts contracted by Spain on account of Cuba, when the latter was her colony. Spain founded her contention on the principle that a country Separated from another should be charged with a part of the debt of the country from which it had separated. "Having studied closely the antecedents ... 2uestion which public opinion in neither Spam nor Cuba suspected of be ing still pending. Secretary Velez replied yesterday to the note of the Spanish Minister. Secretary Velez declared that the Spanish view was incompatible with the provisions of the Cuban constitution to which Spain had assented in recognizl ing the Republic. The Secretary had de cided, consequently, that his government was unable to enter Into negotiations on the question of the Spanish colonial debt. Speaking of the outcome of the ex changes today, Senor Velez said that the result of the negotiations was not fraught with the least danger to the amicable re lations between Cuba and Spain.
