Not cer- tain where he was, but his soundings showing that he was approaching the danger zone marked by the skeletons of many a fine craft, Captain Frank Hemming decided to lie to till the hft- ing of the fog with daylight. Had he imitated e carelessness of the master of the V cia, it is unlikely that the Miowera would have been in port to- day. The Miowera was behind time on her run from Honolulu and w making good progress on Thursday night when she ran into a heavy bank of fog off Cape Flattery. This was at 10 o'clock at night. The Miowera crept along feeling her way for the entrance to the the | strait. It was not until 3 J'clock on Friday morning that the soundings showed that she was on the shoaling banks off the dangerous west coast. Rather than take any chances, al- though he believed at the time that he was about fifteen miles off the coast, Captain He: ng lay to. B o - L2 AR RUST FIXES GOST OF TUBE SERVICE N CITY Amendment to Postal Bill in Accord With Price It Demands WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Senator Fulton of Oregon, for Senator Crane of Massachusetts, presented an amend- ment to the postoffice appropriation bill today providing for the establishment of the pneumatic tube service in San Francisco and other cities named in the last postoffice bill but which were de- nied the service on account of the in- - | ability to secure bids from the contract- ing parties for the price fixed by Con- gress—$17,000 a mile. Fulton’s amend- ment provides that the Government shall pay $25,000 a mile for the tube service in cities where the tubes are less than three miles long, if the cost of operation does not exceed 8 per cent of the gross postal receipts of the city. The sum of $1,250,000 is appropriated in Fulton’s amendment as a direct ap- propriation and the Postmaster General is authorized to contract for $2,000,000 for such service. This is the figure demanded by the tube trust and it is expected that the amendment proposed by Fulton will occasion a lively inter- change of views. FOR THE ORLAND PROJECT Government Allots Big Sum for Irriga- tion in Sacramento Valley WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Represent- ative McKinlay has received a, letter from Secretary Hitchcock informing him that the Interior Department has allotted $650,000 of the reclamation fund to the Orland project in Sacra- mento Valley. The Water Users' As- sociation of Orland, having performed the necessary preliminary acks to the formation. of the project, it is now pro- posed that surveys shall be completed and the work begun. CLERKS COMING FROM EAST ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—First As- sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock told The Call correspondent today that about 150 postal clerks would be sent immediately to the Pacific Coast, prin- cipally to San Francisco and Seattle, upon the passage of the postoffice bill which makes the appropriation for this work immediately available. - The clerks are needed to take the places of those lured away by higher wages in private employments. e Moneyback grocer sells Best tea and coffee. RUEF IN SUBDUED TONE Plea as Indictments Are Read DELAY TACTICS FAIL Court Ignores Technicalities and Will Set the Trial Date Monday “Guilty or not guilty?® w;s the ques- tion put to Abe Ruef, indicted boss, four times in Judge Dunne's court yes- terday mornirg, after the court had overruled ‘the demurrer filed by the shifty defendant's array of legal talent. Not gui low tone, four times. Now the boss and Mayor Schmitz nrust stand trial in the Superior Court for the four alleged acts of extortion practiced against Irench restaurant Keepe nd next Monday is the day on which the time of trial will be set. At that time it is expected that Ruef's codefendant, Schmitz, Wwill have re- turned from his expedition tq Washing- ton and he then must plead to the charges contained in the four indict- ments ruled upon by WJudge Dunne. These are indictments No. 304 to 207, inclusive. The validity of indictment No. 303, the first count returned by the Grand Jury against the Mayor and his manager, is be considered by the Supreme Court on habeas corpus pro- ceedings brought by Schmitz. This in- dictment was a 4 jointly with the other four true bills and if it is sus- tained by the Schmitz will have to plead “guilty” or “not guilty” to it. The advance step Wwas not taken without much ncidental hindrance from Henry Ach and Samuel Short-- ridge, counsel for Ruef. Ach had his usual programme of obstructign. When the case wa called he Toved that the Judge ruling on the de- murrers be postponed for a week, to give the Supreme Court more time to act uponi the habeas corpus proceed- ings. This motion was overruled and then Judge Dunne rendered his deci- sion on the validity of the indictment. The court ruléf that the indictment did state a public offense, that the business of conducting a French res- taurant was “proverty” in 'the legal sense of the term and that the alleged threat made by the defendants to pre- vest the issuance of a permit for a liquor license unless money was paid was a threat contrary to the law—a threat of an unlawful injury. Ach was again on his feet. ned that the five separate offenses charged were in reality but ome, and e wished to reserve the right of his client to plead on but one at this time and on the others after the first trial. ‘We wish to be able to plead then her ‘once in jeopardy’ or ‘prior con- on,” said Ach. cl vice “‘Motion overruled,” said the court. “But your honor, may I ask a ques- 2" continued Ach. ““Will you please be seated?” ordered the court. Then Ruef was given the opportunity to plead not guilty. TESTIMONY IS REVEALED Heney Exposes His Case Against Dinan, Sullivan and Ruef “Kid” Sullivan’s intimate associa- tion with Chief of Police Dinan was fully exposed bLefore the Grand Jury during the investigsation that resulted i1 the indictment of the head of the force with Abe Ruef for conspiracy in protecting the house at 712 Pacific street. Assistant District Attorney Heney in open court yesterday read evidence given before the jury by Dinan and “Big” Andrieu which showed that Sullivan was the agent for the chief and also that Dick Creighton and others paid $250 a week to Ruef and $390 a woek to Dinan for the protec- tion of the Pacific street hrothel. The matter was brought out during the final arguments on the motion of Dinan and Ruef to have their indict- ment set as’de on the ground that the bill was invalld. Tre arguments were submitted and Judge Dunne set next Monday »s the time for passing upon the indictmert. Dinan was in court at the time and had the unpleasant experience of hear- ing Heney read the incriminating tes- timony adduced before the jury. The Assistant District Attorney read from the transcript to prove that he did not violate his oath by making improper statements to the jury. Dinan was a witness, it appeared from the testi- mony, with a shifting memory. When one question was propounded he would know nothing about the matter; to the next he would answer with an abun- dance of information. “What does ‘Kid' Sullivan do?” Heney had asked in the Grand Jury room. “I don't know; I don’t think that he S | NE BED Pleture shows de- sign correotly, DRESSER Exactly like Bhe A = gives no idea of its your eye {fistant- Iy.

James Fox, a workman employed on the Folsom-street cut at the chief had told him to see “Kid” Sullivan about it. The “Kid” had set the price at $100 a week, to be paid him for those “higher up.” In addition he charged a commission of $10a week for making the collections. “It would not be proper for me to tell the court now,” said Heney after reading that testimony from the tran- script, “but the”Grand Jury may have already returned indictments against “Kid’ Sullivan which have not yet been of perjury before the Grand Jury, which | were set for trial yesterday in Judge | Jury that he had interviewed Dinan| Oriental Parlors, 816 Van Ness. moved | regarding the opening of a house of|to 395 Fillmore, Auditorium Skating ill fame on Fillmore street and that|Rink building. .

Nich- GET IN CHICAGO TO NEW YORK IN 10 HOURS The Chicago-New York Electric Afr Line Rail- road will accompiish three things: First: Reduce the mileage between Chicago and New York by building on the shortest route that physical conditions will permit. The Penn- York is about 950 miles in length. The Air Line 'fll be 750, miles In length, a saving of 2 miles. Second: Reduce the time between Chicago and New York. The present time is from 1S to 20 hours on the fastest. Air Line electric locome- tives can ran 100 miles an hour. The time will easily be cut down to 10 hours. Th Reduce the cost of transportation be- tween Chicago and New York. The present fare is $22 over the Pennsylvania. This fare does not include the Pullman sleeper, Which is unneces- sary on the 10-hour electric Air Line. The fare on the Air Line will be $10. The Air Line is to be double-tracked, built with minimum grades and curves, eliminating highway and rallroad crossings at grade and to be equipped with elec- tric traction. A railroad comstructed on these lines can be operated with far greater ecomomy than with steam traction, and a high speed, at- talned with perfect safety, impossible for exist- ing lines to equal. Read what the Hon. W. F. Porter, ex- Secretary of the State of Nebraska, says about the Chicago-New York Hleetrie Air Line Railroad. In part, he says: “About the middle of July there appeared in s number of Chicago papers advertisements of the CHICAGO-NE %lfl LECTRIC AIR LINE RAILROAD COMPANY, which greatly interested myself and a number of my Nebraska friends. 1 decided to make a per- sonal fnv tion of the company and its plans. days looking up the men who had formed I accordingly went to Chicago and spent uv;nl 1o~ Pure, clean silk floss mattress; full double width and As usual, we of- fer the best car- pet values in the usual welght | city. g Made with unus: ual care, and only h?-: Patterns the best grade XX Apetey Byd.
