Four Thousand Dollars Apiece for
Franchise.
Ban Francisco, April , 21. Daniel
Coleman, the boodllng supervisor for
the alleged bribing of whom Tlrey 1
Ford Is now standing trial In the
Parkslde brlbedy case, continued his
tale of bribe taking today which he
began late Monday.
The defense, by close questioning,
brouKht out the fact that the old
boodle board had been asked to at
tend a meeting by Detective Burns to
"rehearse" their .testimony. Cole
man declared the meeting was held
In the district attorney's office and
was presided over by O'Qara.
The defense then Introduced a Joint
affidavit made by the boodlers a short
time after the graft charges were
first made In which they reported
they had taken no bribes.
After Coleman left the stand, for
mer supervisor James L. Gallagher
was called. He testified that he saw
Ford In the committee rooms of the
supervisors several times before the
fire. Ford was then fighting a pro
posal to reduce the fares of the com
pany. tie then testified that Uuef spoke
to him about an overhead trolley
ranchlse about a week after the fire.
He said Ruef told him the company
wanted a franchise and that he
should find out what It would take
to secure the passage of the ordi
nance. (Gallagher then testified that he
visited the supervisors, among them
Coleman and shortly afterwards, Ruef
told him they would get 14000 apiece.
The first Installment of 12000 was
paid In July or August Gallagher
then stated that Ford received a note
In his office one day warning him
that the grand Jury was trying to
trap the supervisors In a graft
scheme and ford gave Gallagher a
noto which told him to convey It to
Ruef at once.
Gallagher stated that he hud made
a short hand copy of the note.

Geary Klmhrell Shoots Hole Through
Desk at Police Station,
This morning Geary Klmbrell, city
engineer, discovered that an automatic
revolver Is an uncertain weapon,
About 10 o'clock he was in the police
station and In a spirit of Investiga
tion was looking at a big 45 calibre
automatic gun belonging to Chief
Gurdane.
wniie tne surveyor was tooling
with the pistol It went off with a bang
that could be heard a block away.
The weapon was pointed at a little
desk out in the corridor and as there
was no one else in the room at the
time the accident had no serious ef
fects. The steel ball ploughed through
the desk, bored a hole in the pile of
papers contained therein and passing
on punctured two overcoats hanging
on the wall. The bullet then dropped
to the floor, having become spent.
Naturally the accident has been the
chief subject of conversation at the
District police station today and the Joke Is
considered upon Mr. Klmbrell. Judge

versally Regretted.
E. H. Clarke, veteran wool buyer
and well known Elk, died at the hos
pital at '8:80 last evening from the
effects of pneumonia. He had been
ill less than a week and was taken
to the hospital Saturday. At that
time his condition was serious an4 It
was feared he could not live. Early
In the evening yesterday he began to
sink and the end came suddenly but
peacefully.
A sad feature in connection with
he death is the fact that Miss Estell
Clarke, daughter of the deceased, was
to be married at Stookton, Cat., to
morrow. Last evening the sad new
of her father's death was wired to
the young lady and her brother, both
cf ilicm live In California.
K. H. Clarke was born at Newton,
Mass., August 15, 1844. He passed
his early life In Massachusetts and
was a soldier In the union army dur
ing the civil war, being ln the 44th
Massachusetts infantry.
In 1870 he came west and became
associated In the wool business with
Christy & Wise of San Francisco.
Twenty-five years ago he came to this
place as representative for that com
pany. He remained with them until
the firm dissolved and he then serv
ed as an Independent buyer. During
the past five years he worked with
Charles H. Greene as buyer for S.
Koshland & Co.
In 1878 the deceased was marrleO
to a young lady of Stockton, CaL
Thirteen years later his wife died"
while spending the winter In Cali
fornia. Two children, Estelle. a
daughter, and a sqn, Fred, were born
to the couple.
When the Pendleton lodge of Elk
was formed on February 21, 1895. the
deceased Joined that order as a char
ter member and his signature was one
of the first placed upon the roll of
the Pendleton lodge. He was also a
member of the Woodmen and Work
men lodges.
Among woolmen and others who
knew him the deceased was always
liked because of his genial disposi
tion and pleas-ant, cultured manner.
Accordingly, there is much genuine
regret over his death.
At the request of the deceased his
funeral will be conducted by the Elks
and last evening R. W. Henneman, ex
alted ruler, appointed R. Alexander,
Dr. F. W. Vincent and Charles H.
Greene as a commute to have charge
of the funeral.
It Is now planned to have the serv
ice from the Church of the Redeemer
t 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The
service will be according to the rituaf
of the order of Elks and the funeral
will be widely attended.
