STARTLING TESTIMONY
 AGAINST ABRAHAM REU F.
Rudolph SperckleS Tells of An Al. legged Offer Concerning Buyin"
 Up of Bonds.

San Francisco. Dec. 20.-StartlinS Spreckles in the proceedings before Superior Judge Dunne in which May or Schmitz and Abraham Reuf are seeking to set aside the first indict- ments found against each of them for felony eXtortion. Spreckles, who had been called to the witness stand examination that Abraham Reuf had called on him at the time of the big municipal election bond issue and asked him to form d syndicate to take all the bonds thus authorized. Spreck- : les was unable to see what guar antee there was that if a syndicate were formed it could secure the bonds as under the law they must be put up at public auction and sold to the highest bidder.
 Reuf informed SprecKles. accord i ing to his testimony 9n the stand that this could be easily arranged, for he would have general strike declared on all the street railroads and tie up the differenJ lines. With san Fran cisco in this condition relative to its passenger transportation, he calcul- ated, so Spreckles says, that no out side capital would bid on the city bonds and the syndicate would have a clear field.
 Spreckles also testified from the witness stand that Reuf called on hin and made demand that he be retain ed as the attorney of the San Fran
 cisco Gas and Electric company.

Charles E. Hani'Ord.

There is no man who needs to be more firm in th" courage of his con yiGti0ns tban the actor who resolves to devote his life to the legitimate drama. .Nt the outset he is thrown into a maelstrom of competition, even though the pecuniary rewards of an actor who plays small roles are proverbially small. And in ad- dition is the constant disposition of well-meaning friends to hail with ridicule a young mans histrionic ambition. Charles B. Ilanford as a youth discarded brilliant prospects as a lawyer Tn order to cast his lot unreservedlv with the drama. In the time which elapsed before he ap- peared as a star he played many parts. It was as Mare Antony in the Booth-Balrett production of Julius Caesar" that he achieved his first great hit and it is as Marc Antony" that he will appear at the Elks theater on Wednesday, Decem- ber 26

WORK OF ANCIENT ENGINEERS
Jewish Men Of Science Were Masters
Of Their Craft


King Hezekiah, it seems, was trou-
bled over the bad water of Jerusalem
about $500 years ago. and built a
reservoir outside the city gates for
spring water, which was brought ttith-
er in a tunnel, the construction OF
which rivals the famous Simplon.
DR.. Bertholet of the University Of
Base has identified this ancient engi.
neering masterpiece. One of the 81.
rach manuscripts of this date states:
"Hezekiah fortified his city by bring
ing water thereto and he bored through
the solid rock by means of bronze,
and he collected the water in a reser.
voir."
The tunnel leads into the pool of
Sloan and is $50 yards long. Work
was carried on from both ends, as is
proved by an inscription in the tunnel
and by the marks of boring tools,
picks, etc, which show the direction
in which the excavation was made.
What instruments were used for de-
termining levels and directions, and
how were errors detected? Allowing

tions suffered by these ancient Jew.

HAD GONE FROM LIFE FOREVER.
Frozen Fish Beyond All Hope Of
Resuscitation.

A long pike, frozen in the center
of large cake of ice, caused sew
eral dead game sports to lose a bunch
of money last night. The fish and
tho block of ice reposed on the back
bar of a well-known thirst parlor and
the pike was viewed with curiosity.
Finally someone started discussion
by stating that if the fish were re-
leased from it's prison of ice it would
revive and continue to live just as If
there had never been any ice. An
other gent disagreed with the first and
a general argument followed.
One fellow said that that was the
way fish spent the winter months, reg,
ularly. Like snakes, he said, they re,
mained in a comatose condition all
winter and when the ice melted in
the springtime they were just as
frisky as If summer had continued all
winter. The discussion became very
heated and bets amounting to several
hundred dollars were laid on both
sides of the question at issue. The
cake of ice was split and the fish
placed in a tub of lukewarm water,
but at last reports he had shown no
signs of life. The hackers of the re-
suscitation proposition wouldn't give
up the money until an old fisherman
came in and said: "Ef you hadn't
