INDICTMENTS ISSUE IN SHEAVES
Heney and Burns Assert That They
Have Only Begun Ruef Ex
pected to Confess.
San Francisco, March 21. Sixty-fivo
indictments were filed by tho grand
jury today against Abo Ruef and 10
against T. V. Halsey, of tho Pacific
States Telephone company. They nil
chargo bribery. Assistant District At
torney Honey and Federal Agent Burns
assert that it is only a beginning.
The total amount represented in tho
indictments is $218,750. When to this
is added tho amount which went to
Ruef and Schmitz, tho total will reach
$1,000,000 in five deals exposed today.
Thoro aro more deals of which tho
public has small conception. They in
cludo not only local magnates, but men
who have mansions in New York, who
have trafficked for special privato gains
in San Francisco for their corporations.
It is understood that a power in "Wall
street who recently testified before the
Interstate Commerce commission will
bo given an oppoitunity to defend him
self. Tonight Ruof and Schmitz are abject
and forlorn. The entiro board of su
pervisors bas confessed. Schmitz is
ready to do the same. Ruef is awak
ening rapidly. By the end of next
week the indictments which will con
front him will be mountain high. By
that time it is expected that Ruef will
offer to confess.
PUTER TELLS STORY.
Admits of Deals With Hermann to
Steal Land.
Washington, March 21. Oregon con
victs occupied the limelight in the trial
of Binger Hermann today, while men
under indictment played minor roles.
S. A. D. Puter, the government's
heavyweight witness, was put on the
stand this afternoon and began the
narration of his relations with Her
mann in connection with land opera
tions that have subsequently tuined
out to be fraudulent.
Puter was preceded by Dan W. Tarp
ley, who told in considerable detail the
manner in which he, Horace G. Mc
Kinley and F. P. Mays attempted to
"get rich quick" through the absorp
tion of land in the Blue mountain for
est reserve.
The stories told by Puter and Tarp
ley did not throw any new light on
either the Blue mountain or the 11-7
land fraud cases, which were threshed
out in Portland. But the stories of
both men were retold today to show
their relations with Hermann and to
aid tho government in its efforts to
show Hermann's motive for destroying
the fateful letterpress copybooks.
STREETS ARE FLOODED.
All Business In Stockton Suspended
by High Water.
Stocklon, Cal., March 21. Water is
running through the streets of this city
like a millrace. In some places it is
six feet deep, while in others it varies
from one to three feet, the latter being
the mean average. All business is sus
pended, as most of the business houses
are flooded and the people in many
parts of the city are afraid to leae
their homes.
No portion of the town escaped.
Main, the principal business street of
the city, is the high point, and even
here the water averages nearly a foot in
depth. All the cellars and many of the
first floors of the business houses were
submerged and the loss in the city
alone will run into hundreds of thous
ands of dollars.
Roadbed Torn Up by Slide.
Ashland, Or., March 21. The con
tinued rains of the past four days have
badly demoralized the main Portland
San Francisco line of the Southern Pa
cific for a distance of SO miles through
the upper Sacramento canyon region in
Northern California. The country
most severely affected lies between Sis
son on the north and Redding on tho
south. In this section tho Sacramento
river has played havoc with the rail
road roadbed at various points, while
at other places slides of serious propor
tions have added to the difficulties.
Prefers Federal Control.
New York, March 21. ABked if he
thought tho conference between tho
railroad and' tho government would be
honeficial, John D. Rockefeller ea id:
"I cannot say. It is my idea that Fed
oral control would bo better for tho
roads. They would then understand
tho laws and plan ahead intelligently
without one state's suddenly demand
ing ono thing and another state being
equally insistent on something entirely
differont."
State Will Pay Their Fare.
Concord, N. II., March 21. A bill
forbidding state officers to use or solicit
frep passes on (ho railroads passed both

to contract for railroad transportation
for mombore of the logislaturo and
liouso cf congress as needed.

Hammond, Ind., March 22. Tho
strike situation at East Chicago was
intensified today when 3,500 men em
plojed by the Inland Steel company,

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
FINE CROP OUTLOOK.
Eastern Oregon Farmors Rejoicing
Over Rocont Rain.
The Dalles Tho rain and snow which
fell hero last week aggregated ono inch
moisture. Showers still continuo and
the snow on high olovations, which
varied from four to six inches in depth,
is gradually disappearing.
This will further rotard plowing and
seeding, which, owing to tho miry
condition of the soil, had but fairly
begun throughout thoeountry. Wlion
this last storm fell, farmors from tho
Tygh ridgo wheat bolt reported that tho
conditions for spiing grain have not
boon as favorable in many years as
now, becauso of the heavy freezing
which loosened the ground to a dopth
of 18 inches, and tho thorough soaking
from the deep snow and heavy rain.
Owing to tho long drouth and tho
lateness of fall rains, there is less acro
ago in wintor wheat than usual, but
undor the present favorablo conditions
for spring seeding, there will bo
about tho usual annual acreago in
grain. Tho fruitgrowers regard tho
late snow storm as most beneficial,
since it checks tho budding until dan
ger of killing frosts is past. No loss
of sheep is feared, since lambing on tho
sheep ranges of tho county has not yet
begun.

ly aid the already rapid growth of Mil

perous condition; all tho principal
streets aro being brought to proper
grade, and many changes for tho better

of tho commissioners, it was decided to
allow tho railroad company to mako the
increase.

to tho completeness of such a lout is
dispolled not only by tlio wording of

It is not thought that thoy seriously bei

Rudolph Spreckels. With graft reach
ing Into almost every branch of the cltj

havo broken down completely. Instead
of an organized form of administration,
Francis J. Honey is pmctlcally dictator
of thu city and county of San Francisco.
The people aro contei t to lot him and
Ills associates work out the problem.
The plan is to keep tho boalllng toper

obey Mr. Honey's orders. OfthUuVre
Is no doubt. Bliould they rofuic, indict
