. under the weight of S indictment, with
, ball reaching well toward the million
mark, Abe Ruef alt a gloomy prisoner
In Jita luxurious "cell" at the St. Fran'
- cl hotel. - He haa grown restive lii con
finement and the sensational report that
a rescue waa planned by hie f rlenda
caused order to be Issued by Elisor
Blggy that anjr one making attempt to
reach the prisoner should be Shot by
the guards. 1 " .
Until It became definitely known by
' Ruef that the Indictments were pend
ing, the boss had placed '. every hope
in the petition - to the supreme ' court
for a writ freeing him from the cus
tody of Elisor Blggy and- remanding
him to the car - of Sheriff O'Neill.
-Yesterday, after -- long con imitation
with his attorneys. Falralt and Aoh, It
waa decided by Ruef to ask permission
of the Burn-erne court to withdraw that
petition, and Special Agent Burns and

Immediately upon the aotlon of Ruef
In abandoning tha plan in which he
appeared to center his hopes, the sys
tem of ' guarding tha - prisoner waa
changed. Two of Blggys trusted men
now guard Ruef day and night.-, in 1
hour watches Instead of four a pre
viously. . v, . .,, .. '
Various peculiar requests that ' Ruef
mad caused the watcher to put two
and two together, and it la positively
stated that i Burns and Blggy, fear an
attempt to rescue the boss by some of
Ills powerful friends who are anxious
to see him out of the way.
Last Tuesday- Blggy received an
anonymous warning that an attach of
the hotel grill who had been taking

holding, important , conversations - with
the prisoner in French tinder th pre
text of receiving orders for meals. An

(Joaraal Special Servtee.) ? '
San Francisco, March 11. In a state
ment Jsaued District Attorney. Langdon
furnishes some startling facta, concern
ing the prosecution of municipal graft
ers. He said! i . ,
The publlo has Uttl Idea, of how
widely the ramifications of municipal
graft in this city extend. I can say
that with th Indictments returned so
far w have only mad a beginning of
tha vast work that Ilea before us. -
"It Is my opinion -that 'the man who
tempts a publlo' official with a bribe la
far mora of a criminal ' and more dan
gerous - to society than the man who
takes the bribe, and every bribe giver
of ' whloh th prosecution .has any
knowledge shall be brought to th bat
of Justice and punished for his crime,
if there la any law in the land to do it.
Information already in our possession
shows us that the graft scandal In
volves a much' greater number of people
than th publlo haa any Idea ef. . ,
Hilars of Charon Oullty. -
"The tentacles of th graft octopus
extend In all directions and it is Impos
sible for. us to forecast where th In
vestigation may end. . Men of highest
social and business' standing in th
community, who pose as pillars of the
church and society are Implicated in th
scandal. And In each case th prosecu
tion will follow them to th end and ex
pose them. ' 1 - '
"It is estimated that it will require
two years to complete tha graft investi
gations and try th graft cases In th
courts. I am going to pk a special ap
propriation from tha . board of , super
visors to pay th Increased expenses of
th district attorney's office resulting
from th graft prosecution."
From another source It is learned that
Heney and Burna hav brought the trail
of th grnfft scandal close to high of
ficials. They are on a new track now
which rune very near the door of Wil
liam F. Herrin. ohlef of the law office
and the political agent of th Southern

San. Francisco, March II. An Indict
ment has been returned against former
Supervisor George Duffey, now , pre si
dent of th board of publlo worka. Th
evidence against him Is complete. Ac
cepting a bribe, of 1760 to vote for an

pany. Ruef paid -It to Gallagher and
Gallagher turned it over to Duffey.
Duffey received 1 1,000 from the Horn

With completion : of the- Spokan

trains into Spokane, and the expected
trafdo arrangement for Interchange of
business between th Canadian Paclflo
and the O. R. V N. la being made. In a
ahort time. Portland shippers can make
through ahlpmenta to Canada and th
east over these lines.
-"There -is no-contract signed as "yet
for such an arrangement, but on is
under consideration,'' said R, B. Miller,
general freight agent of the O. HaN,
Co. "Should an arrangement b mad
It will be for th interchange of busi
ness between the O. R. AY N. and the
Canadian Paclflo at Spokane, similar to
th exchange already la effect at vari
ous points oetween tne us k. at I, ana
Northern Paclflo, Great Northern, South

will make a Spokane gateway for Port
land business to an J from Canadian Pa
clflo points. There will be no operation
of trains of the- Canadian Paclflo over

Mr. Miller declined to discuss th
terms of - th proposed contract ' and
aald ,lt would be a-matter more espe

ple than . to th .publlo. It - is under
stood the exchange of traff lo will be
limited In some matters, as are other
similar traf f lo agreements, respecting
classes of freight, points of origin and
destination. ' , -
The ' arrangement win, however, be
beneficial to Portland, as It . wlU In
crease th facilities for traffic between
this city. and Canadian territory. At
th present tlm th Northern Pacific
has a similar agreement with the Canadian-
Paclflo on Seattle business, and
th Canadian road's freight traf flo on
Pugct sound Is very large. -

Johnson, general agent at Port
land for the Canadian Pacific, aald:
'"The agreement will put th Canadian
Paclflo on th same basis as to traffic
In Portland that It now snjoys at Seat
tle. Our road Is already running trains
Into Spokane, and is doing a big busi
ness there. By May 15 we will be ready
to put a Pullman sleeping car and a tour
ist car on th O. R. N. Co.'s Spokan
train operating Into Portland, and pas
sengers for th east can go through to
King's Gat without Chang. We will
be able to exchang carlot Of freight
between Portland and ' the . east ' and
handle ' homeoeeker business between
Portland and th Alberta country, th
same as we now do at Seattle.
"Heretofore our road could secure but
tittle) of this business here, as there was
no available equipment, and th North
rn Paclflo did not care to let Its equip
ment go Into Canada. Tha new arrange

of coal between the Canadian coal fields
