Are Being Heard Temporarily in Jewish Synagogue. San Francisco, May 27. Abraham' Ruef appeared as his own lawyer to day In one of the many criminal pro ceedings pending against him. Seat ed alone In one of the crimson-cushioned pews in the Jewish synagogue, Judge Lawlor's temporary court room, he looksd deserted and forlorn. ' He was unshaven and not dressed as tidily as is his habit. His face, too, showed sleeplessness and long days of nervous dread. Back of Ruef sat Elisor Blggy, his guard and deputy. Directly across the aisle, in another pew, sat Schmltz, at liberty on $400, 000 bonds. Delphln M. Delmas, who attracted worldwide attention by his defense of Harry Thaw, has been retained by Louis Glass and T. V. Haysel, of the Pacific States Telephone and Tele graph Company. This announce ment was mado y T. C. Coggan, who thus far ht p,Hfiared for Glass, and at this request Delmas was en tered as an additional attorney of record. Bail to the amount of ?910, 000 was given by the six millionaires, and Mayor Schmltz. Frank G. Dunn gave a $700,000 cash ball and Schmltz, Eugene Desabla and John Martin $140,000 each in bonds on in dictments charging them With bri bery of supervisors to fix the gas rate at S5 cents instead of 73 cents for the year 190G. G. H. Ubsen, Thomas Green and I. W. Brobeck gave bonds in the sum of $140,000 each in connection with the attempted bribery of the super visors to grant the Bary Side troiley franchise. Glass and Halsey were arraigned on additional lndlcements charging them with bribing super visors to vote against the issuing of a competitive telephone franchise. They were given until Saturday to plead, as were-also Ruef and Schmltz, who were arraigned on lndlcements charging them with the same crime in connection with the United Rail ways. The only man who has made no kj effort to offer any kind of ball Is Ruef. His ball, which originally amounted to $50,000 In the extor tion cases, has now piled up to the appallng sum of $1,125,000 bonds, or $567,500 cash. Ruef was asked whether he Intended to make any ef fort to give ball. He replied if his premonitions were true there were so many more duplicate lndlcements forthcoming against him that it would take many millions to set him free temporarily. An effort was made by Schmltz's attorneys to have his $400, 000 ball reduced on the grounds that It was "Excessive and , Violative of the constitution." Judge Coyey has the matter under advlse- ' ment. It may be stated by author ity that the grand Jury has In mind the returning of at least 100 moro counts against the men already in dicted. The statement of the prose cution is that in several alleged bri beries of the supervisorial board by the ofllclals of public service corpora sions, every one of the IS super visors and mayor himself were cor rupted. Thus far the jury has re turned lndlcements against only some of the supervisors charging bribery and none against the mayor.

The Japanese press is still generally calm and re served over an apparently unpro voked attack on the Japanese In San Francisco, but It is only out of defer ence to President Roosevelt and his administration and confidence in them that the public expression of resentment held under restraint. Even the most conservative and hopeful fear that a repetition of a similar occurrence may have serious results upon the relations of the countries. It is confidently hoped that the Washington government has decided to take steps to prevent repe titions of attacks on the Japanese.
