THE GLASS BRIBERY Success and Disappoint ment for Prosecution UNWILLING WITNESSES Lively Tilts Between Attorneys Heneyand Delias Add Spice to the Case DR. BOXTON ON THE, STAND He Wat Cross Examined Regarding His Appearance Before Grand Jury But tbo Court Refused to Allow the Wit new to Answer Question. SAN FRANCISCO, July id. Both disappointment and sucoesa fell to the lot of the prosecution in the Class cae today. Two witnesses, John Krause, sub agent of the Pacific State Company and Misa Mary Ryan, formerly T. V. Halsey'a stenographer proved unwilling witnesses. Mis Ryan waa relied on by the prosecution to tell of incriminating conversations between Halsey and Glass, but the beet Heney could get from her and that she had seen Boxton in Hal- ey' office and that she had been dis missed when Halsey and Boxton enter ed into conversation. From E. S. Pillsbury, the attorr.ey for and director of the company and for many year a wet known lobbyist in this state Jleney after much difficulty elicited statement tht Halsey had re ported directly to Glass and at the time of the alleged briberies, Gla.98 was the only official of the company with pwer to sign check for disbursement with out approval of the board of directors. After Miss Ryan took the stand, she was aksed a trivial quetion or two by Heney, Miss Ryan insisted that ber memory did not serve her and when Heney repeated the question, Delmas came to his -feet 'with this remark to the court ''Your honor, we must serioUsly object to the sneering manner adopted toward witness by the assistant district at torney." "It wa nlot sneering," Heney ref torted hotly, "And you know St Mr. Del in as. You have no right to charac terise my attitude as sneering." "I submit to the court that it. was sneering,1' replied Delmas, "And I wiH now inform tlie gentleman on the other side that my rights to my client's cases are not to 1 prescribed or limited by hint ' "I shall address myself to the court whenever it appears to me tbat the gentleman is transgressing,'1 replied Heney, "And I will tell him now that if he does not cease questioning my state ments I will settle with him elsewhere." "Ha, ha, ha," laughed De4ma. Miss Ryan then testified reluctantly that she "supposed'' she had seen Bos ton and Halsey together. She "Didnt pay any attention to- what they said" and didn't "remember" whether she had ever taken down a letter from Halsey and addressed to Glass. Then came the most sensational in cident of the examination. Heney look ing full into Miss Ryan's face asked her if she hadn't had a talk with Hal sey in the corrido yesferday. Objec tion to this was sustained. "Didn't Halsey la the hall downs'taira yesterday urge you not to testify to forget what you knewt" Before Delmas could object or the court could rule Miss Ryan answered: "Ha certainly did not." Further questions were objected to end sustained. Miss Ryan was followed by Dr. Boxton who was cross-examined 'garding bit appearance before the grand jury but th court refuted to al low toe witneaa to answer any ques tions. CAR SHORTAGE.

SITUATION THE SAME No Relaxation In Strike of Tele - graph Operators WILLING TO MEET COMMITTEE According to an Official of the Union 'no Difficulty May bo Experienced in Ar ranjrinc. Compromise Should Company Desire to Treat With the Strikers SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. The ten sion of the situation in the strike of the telegraph operators was not relaxed yes terday and no possible headway was made toward peace. Commissioner Neil and President Small met again last night but refused to divulge anything tbat developed at the meeting. The men insist that the Western Union agree to meet committee of the union. According to one of the officials of the local union should the company show a desire to treat with- the striking operators, little difficulty would be experienced in arranging compromise, so far aa the men are con cerned. This official said last night that the men would demand that in the event of a settlement all members of the union be reinstated, ' Members of the union, according to those in a posi tion to know the disposition of the striking operators, would be willing to compromise in the matter of an increase instead of 25 per cent would be accepted. On the other hand, should the officials of the company remain firm in their re fusal to treat with the striking opera tors, the local executive committee will Insist that operators in other parts of the country bo ordered out.
