OLD TIME ACTING.

The old time actor had peculiar
and primitive views as to elecution
and its uses. remember certain
old friend of mine, who when he re-
cited the opening speech in Richard
III, and arrived at the line I'm the
deep bosom OF the ocean buried" sug-
gested the deep bosom OF the ocean
by hending his voice down into his
boots. Yet these were fine actors, TO
whom certain young gentlemen, who
never saw them constantly refer. The
methods Of the stage have completely
changed, and with them the tastes OF
the people. The probability is that
some of the old actors Of only a few
years ago would excite mucn
merriment in their deliniation of ira
gedy. A very great tragedan OF a
past generation was wont in the tent
scene in Richard III, TO hold a piece
OF soap in his mouth, SO that, after
the appearance of the ghosts, the
lather and froth might dribble down
his chin, and he employed, moreover,
a trick sword, which ratified hide

Several Indictments
Are Due Today

large fee from the keepers of the
evil resort at 712 Pacific street. The
testimony in this case is particularly
strong. Dick Creighton, A Andrieu
and E. Wilson have all stated that Ruef
was paid for protection. AS the pro-
lection could only be granted through
the Police Department, over which the
Mayor had control, it will be estab
lished that Schmitz was party to the
crime.
The case against Chief Dinan is based
largely on the testimony of A. Andrieu,
who said that he took up the white
slave traffic with the consent of, the
Chief. According to Andrieu, he went
to Dinan and placed the matter before
him. The officer, according to the tes
timony, told Andrieu to see kid" Sui
livan and that whatever the Kid said
would be all right" Andrieu says he
saw the Kid" and the Kid said it
would be ''all right for $40 a week"
This seemed to be satisfactory all
around. The arrangement is supposed
to have continued in force until the
Kid approached Andrieu and demand
ed $40 instead of $40 a week. Andrieu
rebelled and his place was closed. This
is the sordid tale as it has been re-
lated to the Grand Jury.
Chief Dinan has affected a spirit of
Indifference toward the accusations.
When they have been placed in more
tangible form an altered attitude may
ensue.

YAQU|S ARMED BY.
CAL|F0 F0RN|ANS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL.


SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2e.-The Repub-
lie of Mexico through Consul General
Ornelas has called upon Governor Par
dee to stop the sale of firearms by citi
zens of this State to the Yaqui Indians,
now in rebellion against Mexican au-
thority in the State of Sonora.
The letter of the Consul General is
very earnest in tone, protesting that
it is due to the supplying of arms and
ammunition by California citizens to
the Indians that they have been able
to keep up murderous and predatory
state of disorder. If this supply is cut
off lie Consul General declares. 1t will
reduce the menace to Mexican and
American interests in the territory oc-
cupied by the Yaqui Indians.
1t is recognized at the Capitol that
the situation is one calling for action,
although just what line this action
should take is not so clear. There is no
State law directly covering the matter,
but the Governor will use every en-
request tonight to the District Attor-
ney of San Diego County to investigate
the sale of firearms to the rebellious In
dians on the Mexican frontier and re-
port to him. The Governor will then
communicate with the Mexican Consul
General
1t is believed the treaty of the United
States with Mexico would fully protect
the latter country from the supplying
of arms to the warlike tribe and this
treaty may be involved if California
itself is powerless to stop the traffic.

PRISONERS DIE IN
TEST Of VIRUS

MANILA, Nov. 26.-As a result of
experiments with cholera virus at Bill
bid prison ten prisoners out of twenty
four who were inoculated have died
The experiments were conducted by
DR.. r. P. Strong of the Bureau of
Science. The death of the prisoners
took place few days after they were
inoculated.
1t is claimed by investigators that
the fatalities resulted from a con-
tamination of the virus with bubonic
plague virus. Cholera virus is in con-
stant use here and had proved bene-
fetal previously. 1t has been used in
Spain in thousands of cases with ex-
cellent results.
Governor General Smith in a state
ment to the public exonerated Dr.
Strong and declared that the commits
sion would take care of the families of
the dead prisoners.

Today will be indictment day for the
Grand Jury. Abe Ruef, Mayor Schmitz,
Police Chief Dinan and possibly Eddie
Graney will make up the list District
Attorney J.angdon, Francis j. Heney
and their assistants were occupied far
into the night preparing the documents
They denied themselves to all callers
in order that they might devote their
entire attention to the work in hand
Although the indictments have been de-
termined upon by the Grand Jury, the
formal documents must be presented
for their approval before they can be
submitted TO the court.
The indictments will represent the
results of further inquiry. into the
French restaurant scandal, the investi-
cation of the BelV edere Music Hall and
various disorderly houses.
The day will be one of the busiest
the Grand Jury has known. Several
new witnesses Will be heard and others
will be recalled TO add to their testi-
mony. Among the new witnesses "Jer-
ry'' Driscoll and Camille Mailhebuau
will be the stars. Driscoll, cousin of
the Mayor. was the administration rep
resentative in the directorate in the
disreputable place at 712 Pacific street.
Mailhchuau was one of the proprietors
of Franks restaurant. He will tell how
he was forced 10 pay to an agent of
Ruef the sum of s175 in order to con-
tirue in business
GRANEY'S CASE IN DOUBT
The case of Graney still remains in
doubt. Should he again take the stand
and give further testimony in regard TO
the Belvedere Music Hall. he may yet
escape the irdict -.leHg that now therat-
ems him. Heney is not entirely salts
fed with Graney's statements on the
stand He believes that the blacksmith
can tell more if he will. Graney has
said that Ruef was presented with 25
per cent of stock in the Belvedere Mu-
sic Hall as a mere matter of friendship
other testimony has been to the effect
that Ruef extorted the stock Graney
desires to protect Ruef, as lack of ad-
minlStratlon support would work great
injury to his business.
An indictment for periury would
place Graney on the retired list as a
prlzehght referee. Graney has estab-
hshed reputation for integrity in the
roped arena and it has meant profit
as well as honor Graney regards him
self as a professional honest man. For
this reason Heney has given him every
opportunity to avoid indictment. He
mas gone beyond the ordinary limit in
this matter. While some of the at
torneys associated with him have lost
patience with Graney and have urged
summary proceedings, Heney has
chosen to postpone the step as long as
possible. Three or four times he has
recalled Graney to the stand, but the
blacksmith either is convinced that he
has told the truth or else he has re-
fused to take the warning Should
Graney's memory show renewed vigor
today the title, ''the honest blacksmith y
will not be torn from him.
FELoNIEs WILL BE CHARGED
The indictments against Ruef and
Schmitz will charge either extortion or
bribery. 1t will be alleged that the
Mayor. acting through the Police and
Works board, enabled Ruef to collect
The San Francisco call., 1906-11-27

he really did not know haw much he
had paid yearly to Thornton. He had
not kept an account of it. 1t might
have been more than $1,000 a year and
IL might have been less. He also ad-
mitted that he had taken no steps to
administer the estate, but that he had
handled it as he saw fit, without giving
any accounting, and that the will itself
was in the possession of a notary in
France and nobody could gain access
to the document without his consent
Attorney Henley obhcted to this tes-
timony, and when Slack stated that he
was going to show that Mrs. Cotton
knew she could not trust Sacher with
money Henley cried: IF you'll make a
solemn promise to do that I'll not OBJ
ject." Crittenden Thornton, the grand
father, began pacing the floor and ven
tured, You'll never do it." Sacher tes-
titled that he had talked with Mrs.
Cotton about the child, Helen, after
the death of Mrs. Sacher, and that Mrs.
Cotton wanted to adopt the baby He
also stated that she had said, in speak
ing of a will:
i think l will not make any will;
the law is just and then they cannot
take anything away from the baby
HENLEY WANTS SHORT HOURS
Much time was consumed by the
witness in framing an answer to
Slacks question as to whether Sacher
had ever made a statement to the ef-
feet that If Mrs. Cotton did not amply
remember the child in the will he
would break 1T. Sacher answered that
he felt certain that undue influence
had been used with Mrs. Cotton by
others, and although he could not re-
member positively he said: IT may
have, said it: it is quite possible that
! said something like that in sub
stance, knowing that undue influences
had been at work, and that if my child
was neglected I, as her father. would
do everything in my power to see that
the child came into her natural
rights"
This was as far as Sacher's memory
could take him, and after a series of

religious freedom, at the head of which
will be the Rev DA Algernon s. Crap
sey. who has resigned from the min
istry of the Protestant Episcopal
church rather than recant opinions
adjudged to be heretical. Prominent

many of them in the diocese of New

of Dr. Crapsey's trial and have had
printed thousands of copies of his de-
fense, which have been scattered
broadcast.
His friends have been consulting as
to the best means to be employed by
Dr. Crapsey in diffusing the Tight" of
his religious convictions. Whether he

will found an Independent church or
devote himself to literary exposition of
his theology is matter to be deter
mined. Well-informed churchmen said
today that they did not expect that
there would be any defections in the
future, as those who held views akin
to those of the convicted minister
would wait to be summoned to trial
All concerned in the matter are look
ing forward with eager interest to
the next move made by DR.. Crapsey,
and 1T is their impression that 1t will
