STHMITE GIVEN HALE Boss Ruef Says He Divided Ex- tortion Money With Mayor. SEVERE BLOW TO DEFENSE! Tourt Overrules Objection of Attor- neys for San Francisco’'s Chief Ex- ecutive and Permits Witness to An- swer Important Question. San Francisco, June 13.—When the Schmitz trial was resumed, with Abraham Ruef on the stand, the court overruled the objectlon of the defense to the question that was pending when court adjourned the previous day. The question was: “Did you in January, 1905, in the house at 2849 Fillmore street, give this defendant, Eugene E. Schmitz, $2,500 in currency?” Ruef replied in tne afirmative. Ruef said when he gave the $2,500 to Schmitz_he told the mayor it was his (Schmitz’) share of the §5,000 that had been received from the French restaurants. Ruef testifled that he had in January, 1906, given to Schmitz telling the mayor that the French restaurant keepers had paid a second Installment amounting to $3,000. Judge Dunne’s temporary courtroom was crowded to its capacity, as it was recognized that this was the crucial day in the trial. It was expected that Ruef’'s answer to the question as to whether he had or had not given the $2,500 to Mayor Schmitz would prac- tically decide what the verdict of the Jury would be and for that reason in- | terest of the big crowd of spectators was intense. Ruef looked pale and a trifle anpre~| hensive as he took the witness stand. ; He had himself apparently well under control, however. Schmitz looked bet- ter and seemed in better spirits than at any time since the trial began. The argument as to the admissibility of the pending question was brief and ended against the defense. SECRETARY WILSON DENIES Made No Pledge to Suppress Names in Cotton Leak Case. Washington, June 13.—Secretary ‘Wilson again was on the witness stand in the trial of E. S. Holmes, Jr. He was questioned further concerning his alleged promises to suppress in- formati given him at the time of Holmes’ dismissal from the service of the department of agriculture. Regarding the formal statement given out by the witness at the time Holmes was dismissed Secretary Wil- son said he did not make the state- ment, which was signed by him, but that it was the report of the secret service people who investigated the Holmes case. He declared that he had made no arrangement or pledge with Broker Van Riper for the sup- pression of names. Mr. Worthington asked the witness why he had given the secret service report to the public to the prejudice of Mr. Holmes. Counsel for the government object- ed, but the question’ was adiiltted and I ADD the secretary replied: “I thought the Amerléan people had a right to the report.” STAR WITNESS ON STAND. Testimony Brings Out Hisses for the Defendant. Flundreau, S. D, June 13~-Peter Frickson, the star witness for the prosecution, was on the. stand during the afterncon. His testimomy was much along the same lines as at the proliminary examination of Mxs. Kauf- mann on June 12 last year. One new incident related by him had reference to an occasion when Agngs Polreis was jostled to the floor of a storm- house by Mrs. Kaufmann and being very weak was prevented from rising, according to the witness, by Mrs. Kanfmann, RErickson testified that Mrs. Kaufmanp preveated him going to the assistance of the girl. At this juncture there were some hisses in the courtroom, but they were quickly suppressed. The day was an eventful one in many particulars. The features were the direct and cross-examination of FErickson, hisses and applause accru- ing to the distinct advantage of the cause of the prosecution. GIVEN POWER TO ACT.

Cause of Disaster to- Naval Men in Hampton Roads. Norfolk, Va., June 13.—It is report- ed that the disaster in Hampton Roads which resulted in the sinking of a launch from the United States battle- , ship Minnesota and the drowning of eleven men, including six midship- men who were returning from the army and navy ball at the Jamestown exposition and five seamen who made up the crew of the launch, resulted from the Minnesota’s launch being run down by a tug and coal barge which the former was towing. The report, which, it was stated, had been made officially on board the battleship Minnesota, did not give the name of the tug or the barge. It was said, however, that the tug stopped in the roads immediately following the accident. but finding on trace of the G. A. R. Supper Friday. The ladies of the G. A. R. will give a supper at the I.

Everybody is "cordially invited to take supper with them. 7 object which had been struck or any sign of life or anything in the water resumed its course with the coal barge in tow. The presumption is that the launch, a small craft, sank immediately in the darkness of the stormy night, the eleven occupants being caught in their canvas covered craft with no possible ‘way of escape and carried to the bot- tom, drowning like rats in a trap. It was raining and the choppy seas were sending spray to such an extent that it became necessary for those in the launch to have the canvas cover- ing buttoned tightly to the sides of the Mttle Vessel. . . 7 Nicaraguans Said to Have Captured Honduran Port. = San Salvador, June 13.—Although no confirmation has been received here of the reported capture of Aca- jutla, Salvador, by Nicaraguan forces it is positively known that President Zelaya embarked troops and war mu- nitions at Corinto, Nicaragua, on the war vessel Momotombo, under the command of General Manual Rivas, and destined to raise a revolution in Salvador.

ONLY BREAK IN MONOTONY Cross-Examination of State’s Chief Witness in the Haywood Trial Pro- ceeding Slowly Along Lines Previ- ously Laid Down. Boise, Ida., June 13.—The Ilong cross-examination of Harry Orchard by the attorneys for the defense con- tinues ‘in the- Haywood trial. Only once during the day was the monotony of the examination broken and that was when Orchard described his at- tempts to kill General Sherman Bell in Denver. For some twelve nights he was at Bell’s residence, waiting an oprportunity to shoot him. More than once Bell’s life was saved by the bark- ing of small dogs. 5 Orchard said. Moyer ordered him to let up on Sherman Bell. The pres- ident of the federation had just re- turned from California and was in ill health. He said he wanted nothing done in Denver while he was here, as he did not care to run the risk of be- ing put in jail again. The early cross-examination covered the attempt on the life of Governor Peabody at Canon City and the evenis immediately succeeding, including the Goddard and Gabbert dynamite” plots, and followed the usual methods de- signed to confuse and discredit the witness. Attorney Richardson again suggested that Orchard was being coached by Detective McParland and counsel for the prosecution and pro- voked the sharpest wrangle that the attorney -and witness have had in their long contest. Orchard spiritedly denied that he was being coached and asserted that he was telling the truth. Orchard said that he and Pettibone discussed the project of killing Judge Gabbert, but that he alone had started out to murder Judge Goddard with a bomb without any suggestion from Haywood, Moyer or. Pettibone except the general talk of some months be- fore. » Still another crime came home to Orchard during the day. TUnder ex- amination he confessed that he swin- dled farmers in Southern Colorado with a fake hail insurance game while down there trying to Kkill Gpvernor Peabody. SAID TO BE IN CANADA.
