Perjury on the Stand
Once More.
He Says Attorney Ruef Wanted

The Defenss's Case Closed and the
Plaintiffs Are Now Putting in
Rebuttal Evidence.

Reaction set in on the Fair trial yester-
day. and the session passed off without
sensation or even incident of consequence
aside from the closing of the defense and
the beginning of the plaintiffs rebuttal.
Something better than this was ex-
pected. and the courtroom was rendered
sitting by curious and anticipating
crowd. True, Charles S. Bartlett - the
man who confessed himself under oath to
be miserable periurer, and was con-
signed in consequence to dungeon by
Judge Slack-was on the stand again, but
even he was disappointment for aside
from tangling himself up worse than ever
and giving an exhibition of his abilities
as a prevaricator he was not entertaining.

OF fifty-four elective members and the
Mayor, who shall be mem Der ex-officio
and chairman of the Council and entitled
to casting vote, the Supervisors to be
elected at large and to hold Office for two
years.
John NJ. Reynolds supported the sub
stitute of Mr.. johnson. He said that it
would be a. great mistake TO frame a
charter upon the models of the pro posed
charters which had been already rejected
by the people. The people wanted some
thing different.
There are thousands OF children in New
YORK and Boston without school facilities
and he ascribed that condition of affairs to
the TACT that the governing powers of the
schools had been appointed instead of
elected. IL was time that all the depart
ments should be grouped together and
elected by the people, and i. was time
that the people OF the City and County of
San Francisco should abandon the old
and useless ideas and EN- brace new and
progressive ones.
%. F. Pond opposed that part OF the
substitute IN which it was provided that
the standing committees should be
elected by the majority of the Super
visors. He argued that the committees
should De appointed by the Mayor If
they were appointed by the Supervisors
the NJ aiority could com bine into ring
and take control of all the com mittees and
departments. Ii Supervisors were cor.
rupt now, if bossism prevails, worse
state of affairs would ensue If the charter
were framed according to the ideas of Mr.
Johnson's substitute. The Mayor should
have the appointing power. He should
aiwaysstand between the Supervisors and
the people.
Senator Braunhart said that in ali his
experience OF thirty-fve years as man and
BOY In this City there never had been an
honest Board of Supervisors, but there
had been many an honest Mayor, and
they mad saved the people. The last pro.
posed charter would have been adopted
by lo,O OO majority had there not been in it
clause discriminating against persons of
certain religious belief. 1t was not for
the convention to follow the example
OF Glasgow or of some city in New
Zealand.
Edward Rosenberg said that the ques-
tlon was whether they should have die
tatorlai Mayor or democratic form of
government Rome changed from econo-
mic aosolutlsm to q dictator, and then
went down. Now the cry from the cities is,

The Legislative power of the City and

designated the Board OF Supervisors;
such body is also designated In this
charter the Supervisors.
The foregoing is the first paragraph OF
the report of the com mittee on legislation
of the Committee of One Hundred on the

after spirited and rather wandering de-
bate lasting three hours. The ball was
started rolling by Gavin McNab's motion

MORE Time NEEDED.
No Charter Election Will Be
Held in the Month Of
October Next.
Attorney-General Fitzgerald's 0pin-
ion on the Subject Asked by
Election Commissioners.

The Board OF Election Commissioners
held a meeting yesterday to act on COM
munication from the charter comm ittee
requesting that q special election for free
holders be held ct the earliest possible
moment Auditor Frederick, City and
County Attorney CreswelI, Tax Collector
Block and Surveyor TiIton were present.
Tax Collector Block moved that an cleo.
ton be called Tor the second Tuesday in
October, stating that after the middle of
October he would be very busy and would
not be able to give the matter his atten-
ton.
Auditor Broderick objected to so early a
date on the ground thai it would be i'm
possible to prepare for the election in so
short period, the labor involved making
at least two months preparation neces-
sary.
1t was stated that the City Trustees of
Sacramento had been advised that charter
elections could only be held under the
primary election laws, and that they had
asked AttorneyGeneral Fitzgerald for an
opinion on the question.
On the votes OF the Auditor, City and
County Attorney and Surveyor it was de-
cide6 to await the decision of the Attor-
ney- General, and the Registrar was in
structed to communicate with Mr.. Fitz-
gerald at once and transmit copy OF his
opinion when rendered to the board. No
action will be taken before Mr.. Fitzgerald
il heard from.

CRITTENDEN DIS CHARGED.
VIII Not Be Compelled to Pay His
Contempt of Court
Fine.

Attorney James L. Crittenden, who was
fined $3.50 by Judge Slack for contempt of
court for carrying a loaded pistol into
court, has escaped punishment, as he was
discharged from custody yesterday by
! Judge Carroll Cook on writ of habeas
corpus.
case of Lillian Ashley against Lucky
Baldwin was on trial in Judge Slack s
court. 1t appeared that Miss Ashiey's sis
ter deemed it her duty to kill Bald win,
and she took shot at him with her little
pistol. Her action caused the widest
excitement, for pistol practice is unusual
| even in the courts of California.
In the melee Mr.. Critienden drew bis
pistol from his pocket, or at least put his
hand in mis- pocket and was about TO draw.
When questioned by the court he ac-
knowedged that he carried pistol, but
urged that in attempting to draw 1t he
was only intending to act in self defense,
| as he thought that his life was threatened
by some of the friends of Bald win whb
were present in court and had likewise
! shown their weapons.
! For more than year the matter hes
been dragging along in the courts, no less
| than four wrltS- OF habeas: corpus hayin o

The custody of Al Evans, deputy in the
County Clerks office. That book has
disappeared and there is no record of the

| effort to cure this defect was made by the
entry of second order signed on the 9th
of July. Judge Cook held that the only
authority the Sheriff could have, under

Mr.. Mitchell said his side had concluded

Chief Lees put in an appearance now and

patton.

mony was mad Missile, the occasion being
when Captain Curtin was on the witness
stand.
Tho same ruling will prevail this
time" said Judge Slack.
avery well, them" was Delmas' acqui-
escence. That is all, Chief" And the
Chief departed. ~
Mr. Delmas now said he wanted to re-
call Attorney Russell ]. Wilson to the
stand to have him identify letter written
by Senator Fair from Yuma to Louis
Bresse, regarding a wheat deal. He bad
been able to serve Wilson with a SUBJ
pena, however, and as that gentleman
was TO be the last witness for the defense,
he could not close his case.
Mitchell suggested that the matter
might be settled by stipulation. This
was agreeable all around. and the record
now shows that Mr.. Wilson identified the
letter-just as if he had appeared In
person and inspected it.
The defense then rested, and the plain
tiffs were given the reins once more, this
time for rebuttal. To the dismay of the
Jury and audience, the old wearying SUBJ
ject of notarial blanks was again taken up.
A. C. Forsyth, who in 1896 was manager
OF the stationery departing n t of the H. s.
Croker Company, was called. He iden-
titled an order on the printing department
for blanks he had written on the 18th of
February, 1896. The object of introducing
this bit of evidence was TO rebut the testl-
mony Of OK. Bonestell, who said he sa W
these same blanks in General Dickinson s
Office during the first four days OF Janu-
airy.

Then came the ubiquitous Stanford-the
young man who has been on the witness
stand at least dozen times since this trial
began. He is clerk at the Croker store
and has charge of the legal blank depart
ment. He said he received the written
order previously identified by Forsyth and
filled it. Subsequently he delivered the
blanks to General Dickinson, who was the
attorney for the Croker Company.
The packages which were found in Dick
inson's office were shown to the witness,
and he Immediately recognized them as
the ones he delivered. Stanford was still
on the stand when court adjourned.

Butte Gateway Not Omen.

Denver, Colo, June 2l.-In answer
to message OF inquiry sent him from
this city, S. W. Eccles, general traffic
manager of the Oregon Short Line,
wired:
Have not opened the Butte gate
way, and do not contemplate doing so
at present"
Had the Butte gateway been opened
it would have let the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads into Utah to
compete with the Rio Grande Western
and Union Pacific and would have given
the Union Pacific chance to practic-
ally freeze out the Oregon Short Line
on through traffic between Ogden and
Butte by cutting the rate from the Mis-.
souri, river to Ogden to $5 or $40.
