San Francisco, DEC. 27.-When SUI
perior Judge Dunno resumed the hear
ing of Abraham Ruef's motion to set
aside the live extortion indictments
yesterday new attorney appeared in
on behalf of the mayor. reiterated the
many times repeated motion OF
Schmitz for a chance to plead.
Judge Dunno, in response to Metzen's
motion, declared:
'When these cases were called the
defendants were willing to stand to-
gether. After two or three days one
of the defendants, Schmitz attempted
to associate himself from the defendant
Ruef. I am not ready and I cannot
say when a decision will be reached;
motion is decided"
"Then 1 understand" said Metzen
chat the court rules that we cannot
separate"
',rhe court has nothing to do with
that. That is matter wholly within
the province of the Defendants replied
the court.
Argument was finally ended by Judge
Dunno, who ordered Attorney Ach te

No estimate of the cost of this con-
struction work is made by the Rail-
way Age, but railway officials say it
has probably averaged $4,000 mile,
and represents an aggregate expendi-
ture Of s250,000,o00
The most extensive building has been
in the southwestern states, where con-
struction has aggregated 1918 miles,
and the smallest amount has been done
in the New England states, where it
has amounted to but 1861 miles, The
large aggregate in the southwest is
chiefly due to improvements made by
the Rock Island-lFrisco system. The
Trinity and Brazos Valley from Mexia
to Houston, with mileage of 1913 miles,
a Rock Island Frisco enterprise, is the
longest stretch of new road COM
pleted.
Last March the Railway Age made
a canvass which showed that $4,000
miles of new line were then under
contract The railways have been un-
able to get more of the work done be-
cause of the shortage of labor and
rails. With the Western Pacific and
st. Paul pushing for the coast and all
the large western systems building
branches and extensions, the pros
poets are that railway building in 1907
will rival the record of last year.

IRELAND lNcuRs PopE's WRATH
Archbishop's Sermon on French situa
ton Does Not Please.


Rome, Dec. 27.--The local press has
| published the summary which APP
peared in the Paris Matin of the state
ment issued by Archbishop Ireland OF
| st. Paul on the Franco vatican con-
flict. This summary has not found
favor with the vatican authorities, as it
| blames the French clergy, who are
praised by the pope.
The Osservatore Romano says this
summary should be accepted with re-
serve as coming from an infected
source, and, explains that the cores
pondent Of the Matin in New York may
have misunderstood the archbishop.
In spite of the French governments
denial that 1t has made anys reply to
the vatican's protest to the powers on
the subject Of expulsion from France
of Mgr. Montagnini. the vatican has
been informed that M. Pichon, the min
lister OF foreign affairs for France, has
made verbal statements in answer to
this protest to several diplomatic repre-
sentatives at Paris. These statements
were communicated by the ministers
to their respective governments.
According to the yatican's authority.
NJ. Pichon said that Mgr. Montagnini
had no diplomatic standing; that the
papers seized at the nuniciature were
unimportant the important documents
having been removed previously.
The vatican now declares with au-
thority that the statement that docu-
ments were removed from the nuncia-
ture before that building was Searched
is unfounded and calculated to deceive.

HAWAII SHORT OF LABoRERs.
Sargent Says They Are Fewer Than
Two Years Ago.

Washington.( Dec 27.--A report on
Japanese conditions in the Hawaiian
Islands will be made to President
Roosevelt by Frank p. Sergeant, COM
missioner of immigration and natur-
alization. as the result of his recent
visit to the islands. Sergeant yesterday
expressed the opinion that there were
fewer Japanese in the Hawaiian Is
lands now than there were two years
ago, a greater number having come 10
America in that period than arrived IN
Hawaii.
Mkt Saito, Japanese consul at Hon
ol,llu, intimated to Sergeant that the
Japanese government discouraged ITS
people from coming to the United
States because of it's knowledge OF the
conditions existing in this country, es-
pecially on the Pacific coast, and 1t was
apprehensive lest the coming here OF
great numbers of Japanese might in
duce prejudice against them that would
be embarrassing.
Sergeant found owners of planta-
lions in the islands are in serious need
OF labor, and many Japanese are COM
ing to the islands to work on them.
He said efforts are made by Hawaiian
planters to diversity their labor as faf
as possible, not combining 1t to any one
race, but getting people from all quar-
tiers of the world. A second ship load
Of Portuguese will arrive shortly and It
is probable these immigrants will make
the islands their permanent home.
Many more plantations would be OPP
Grated on the islands if 1t were possi-s
BILE to obtain necessary laborers, but up
to the present time, labor has been
scarce. 1t is expected the arrival in the.
islands of European laborers will be the
solution Of the Hawaiian labor prob1.

TO SAVE NIAGARA FALLS.
Secretary Taft Begins Action to Settle
Complex Questions Involved.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 27.-Secre-
tary Taft is preparing to take up for
final disposition the complex questions
presented to him under the terms of
the Burton act relative to the conser-
walton of the waters Of the Niagara
river SO as to prevent the sacrifice Of
the falls to the commercial interests
in this country. Grave constitutional
questions are involved. Attorneys for
the electric lighting and power COM
panies which have been taking the wa
ter from the river are insistent that
the national government has no au-
thority to undertake to regulate the
disposition of the waters of streams
save where the navigation thereof is
concerned. In the case of the Niagara
river where the water is taken from
the stream above the falls only to be
returned to it again below, this issue
is not involved. So far, however, the
right of the United States government
to regulate the admission of currents
of electricity generated on the Canada
and side of the river has not been chal-
!enged and to this question the secre-
tary intends to first address himself.

DIES FROM BOXING FOR ELks.
Fargo, N. D., is Scene Of Fatal Ring
Accident.

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 27.-The death Of
a negro participant in sparring
match given at a social session of the
Elks, which was attended by Lieuten-
ant Governor elect Lewis, States At
torney Barnett, Sheriff Hunt, and
prominent state and local politicians,
has caused lot of uneasiness.
Calvin Good, of Columbus, o., who
had been giving exhibitions over the
state. went on with Jim Gains, an
other strange negro. In the eighth
round Good fell unconscious, and re-
NAMED so until he died.
Five leading physicians held a post
mortem. and discovered that death was
due to the congested condition of the
mans lungs, hastened by the violent
exercise. The coroner's jury brought
in verdict to that effect. No blame
was placed on the Elks.

Grades Weak.

Chicago, Dec. 27.--The cattle market
was on steady basis today. Re
ceipts We're light and the quality was
not very attractive. Packers needed
cattle and some shippers were in the
trade. The general condition of trade
this week has been favorable to SELL
ers, and prices made good gains, the
advance on the great bulk of stuff be-
ing 20, while there We're number OF

The upward trend of prices for good
fat kinds of steers should not be mis-
construed by country feeders as mean
ing generally better market for all
grades of steers Such has not been ex-
perienced thus far this week, but, on
the other hand. the plain and medium
steers have sold rather unsatisfactor-
lily. small receipts being taken into con-
sheraton.
Packers have had their coolers full
of beef for two weeks and the small
consumptive outlet for all but the best
grades has demanded cautious buying
of the light and half-fat steers. These
however, have been marketed in big
volume up to this week, so literally. in
fact, that even tho the run this week
has fallen far short of week ago. the
palmer classes have not made material
advances and show range hardly bet
ter than steady to 10c higher, despite
the goodly advance in fat 1300-lb and
heavier classes.
Hogs.
Buyers were bearish and selling on
the side. The market was unable to
prevent declines. AS compared with the
close Of the previous day the market
was full 10 lower, while showing OF
about 15c decline was made, compar-
ed with the best selling time Wednes-
day.
The bulge this week may be respon-
sibe for decided expansion in the
movement next week. At all western
points the supply is similarly def
cient.
Sheep.
Only the better class of sheep and
lambs We're steady. Other grades We're
weak. and looked generally 10 to ] :

Washington. Dec. 27.-Representative
John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, who
is in favor of enacting new statute
providing that members of congress
shall forfeit $3.50 for every day they
are absent, announces that, as a result
of "A search thru the old documents at
the capitol he has found that a statute,
passed in 1856, which prohibits absent
members from collecting their salaries
unless they are kept from their official
duties by Illness has never been re-
pealed. An attempt was made to en-
force this law, he says, in the Fifty
second congress, which resulted in a
strenuous effort to repeal the statute in
1894, when the democrats had control
of the house. Representative Gaines
will call attention of congress to the
statute, he says, and insist that 1t be
enforced.

Cows and heifers good enough to go

Big droves of hogs cost 7@9c more
than Monday. the average price being
