Then the party proceeded to the spot where the body had been found and subsequently climbed up the road to the top of the retaining wall, from which it was first thought by Captain of Detectives Martin that Blaise had fallen accidentally. SOEDER’'S ROOM VISITED. From there the party proceeded to the Neiblas residence at 827 Jackson street and viewed the exterior of the house and the room which had been oc- cupied by Soeder and Blaise prior to the murder. District Attorney Bying- ton walked behind Soeder most of the journey and watched him closely. After the inspection had been finished the court and jury returned to the Hall of Justice. The jury was dis- charged, after the wusual caution against discussing the case in any manner. The hearing will continue this afternoon. During the trip of inspection a crowd | of curious persons followed the jury g0 closely that Judge Cook was com- pelled to order the bailiffs to keep all outsiders at a distance.

The defendant accompanied the court and jury on the trip. All through the ordeal of viewing the scene whither it is claimed he decoyed Blaise and plunged a knife into his t throat, Soeder preserved the of countenance that has marked his demeanor through all of the court procedings so far had. He | smoked a cigarette with evident relish and the only evidence his uneasi- | | ness apparent was the nervous twitch- | ing of his hana: When the jury gathered around the spot where Blaise’s body had been found Soeder took one quick glance at the, grass and then turned away and riveted his gaze on the cliff on the op- posite side of the cut. Not once again did he look toward the spot where his | brother-in-law bled to death from a | stab in the throat. 1 | KEEPS FACE CONCEALED. | | During the car ride from the Hall | of Justice to Union and Taylor streets | Soeder kept a handkerchief before his | face in an endeavor to prevent the | newspaper photographers from taking his picture. Later he put away the handkerchief and even went so far as | to halt and allow himself to be photo- graphed. When the jury gathered | about the spot where Blaise’s body was found on the morning of January | 11, Soeder puffed his cigarette calm- | ly. A woman who had followed the | procession up the hill said: “1 wonder“ !how he can smoke at this place.” | Soeder heard her and he looked toward her with a glint in his eyes like a flash of a new bowie knife. She | paled under his gaze and shrank back | into the crowd. The Soeder case was taken up byl Judge Cook at 2 o'clock yesterday | afternoon. No witnesses were on hand, | as it had been decided to give the jury an opportunity to view the neighbor- hood of the crime. In addition R. Porter Ashe, Assistant District Attor- | ney, requested that the jury be allowed to inspect the Neiblas residence at 827 Jackson street, where Blaise and Soeder occupied a room together up to the time of the murder. This was ob- jected to by General Salomon, coun- sel for the defense, but the objection was overruled by Judge Cook, who | held that the jury might properly visit | any place about which material facts might be developed during the hear- ing. Salomon requested that the jury be allowed to view the crossing of Union and Taylor streets and this was readily granted. Before starting on the trip of inspec- Joseph Blaise, on ‘ | sidered by them. | that this is one of udge Cook and Detec- | tion Judge Cook warned members of | to use{ the jury that they were onjy their and not their ears When view- ing the scene and that no chance mark from either the officers of the court or any outsider should be con- He then placed the jury in the hands of Bailiff Martin Welch and Soeder was taken in charge | by Deputy Sheriffs Meynert r ey ley. All the officers of the court went along and the court reporter recorded all statements made to the jurors. The Union-street car that carried the | court and jury to Taylor and Union streets was packed to its full capacity | re- | and Kings- ! the Hall of Justice was down Jackson street through Chinatown, and every- | body in the crowded quarter rushed eagerly to get a glance at the noted prisoner. . An expressman named Richard Driscoll, who had hauled Soeder and | his belongings to the Flatley residence | on his return from Alaska last Octo- ber, was thunderstruck to learn that CONFER ABOUT HARBOR PLANS Idea of Raising $2,000,000 to Be Spent for Sea Wall and Wharves Is Discussed COMMITTEE APPOINTED RLoeiio Mortgage on State Property in This City Is Proposed as bLasiy for Bond Issue —— Representatives of the commercial organizations of San Francisco were invited to take part in a conference that came off yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce hall, the purposes of which was to form a plan to secure favorable action on a prop- osition to raise $2,000,000 on a bond issue for the extension of the sea wall in this city between its present south- ern terminus and the Pacific Mail dock. The construction of the sea wall, as explained by Secretary E. Scott of the Chamber of Commerce, would be only the first step toward increasing the dockage facilities south | New wharves are | The general conclusions of | of Harrison street. needed. those present at the conference were favorable to the improvement of ship- ping factlities. ] The movement originated with the Chamber of Commerce. At the last | quarterly meeting of that body it was voted to invite the other commercial bodies to send representatives to talk | the matter over. Captain W. H. Mar- ston, one of the trustees of the Cham- | ber of Commerce, was appointed chairman of the joint conference and E. Scott acted as' secretary. There | were present W. H. Marston, George A. Newhall, H. Rosenfeld, James| Rolph Jr., C. E. Allen, A. C. Rulofson, | W. S. Casey, T. J. Parsons, George Renner, F. H. Wheelan, Lippmann Sachs and James McNab. No opposi- tion developed to the general idea of improvement. Remarks were made by Captain Marston, George Renner, E. Scott, A. C. Rulofson and T. J. Par- sons. Mr. Scott said he had talked about the matter of extending the sea wall and bullding new and permanent wharves with Harbor Commissioner Spear. He had the assurance of Com- missioner Spear that the Board of| State Harbor Commissioners had no | intention to tax the shipping of the port gy increasing the port charges. | Captain Marston said the only in-| crease that could be made would be in wharfage rates. Several of those present represented that all the cost would fall on San Francisco. The in<i terior would be benefited by the pro- motion of shipping interests at this port. The proposition includes the mortgaging of all the property of the State on the San Francisco water front | to secure a bond issue of 82.fl00.fl00.‘ The voters of the State will be called upon to vote on this proposition in November at the general election. { Thomas J. Parsons moved that a committee of five be appointed by the | chair to submit a plan for the consid- eration of the joint conference of com- mercial bodies. This was adopted and the committee was made up as fol-| lows: W. H. Marston, E. Scott, T. J. | Parsons, George Renner and A. C. Rulofson. —_—————————— Cook and Waiter Fight. W. Caulfield, a waiter in the Russ | House, secured a warrant from Police | Judge Mogan )enwrda) for the arrest of “John Doe,” a cook, on a charge | of battery. Caulfield said the cook struck him on the head with a platker | vesterday morning, cutting his scalp, | and followed it up by bombarding him | with mashed potatoes. { | Ris passenger on that occasion and the | alleged murderer were the same.
