Mr.. Bryan again referred to the
necessity of harmony:

Mr.. Bryan IN conclusion declared

BRYAN ON HARMONY.

There seems TO be no reason why
the Democrats of the country should

Harmony" Said he:

posed Barrett.
.ephe Supreme Court has given me
that right but it has been the rule
of this court hot to do so. except on
the request Of the Judge before whom
the case is pending, and 1 viii not alter
that rule" replied the Judge. And
] do not want - hear more argument"
Barrett continued to talk and hotly
TO urge that the record in the other
court be produced and that Judge Gra-
ham devote several days TO its study,
holding his decision in allegiance in the
meantime, but il was to no effect
'KNiA not your Honor then go to
Judge Dunno and ask him TO allow
the case to be transferred" persisted
Barrett
so far as seeing Judge Dunno is
concerned" replied the Judge with
some aninnus, II have no desire to see
Judge Dunne.-. because the Judge has
intimated that ] am man Of wide
sympathies and generous impulses. 1
am afraid that If / were to find Judge
Dunno ] would not find sympathetic
chord in his body"
Barrett informed the court then that
he did not consider that any structures
passed by Judge Dunno on his Honor
called for any reply, and he continued
with some remarks to the intent that
both he and William MetSon were hon
orable men.

continued, that while my good faith

The courtroom was crowded yester-
day morning when the motion for the
transfer OF the case against the Mayor
was TO be heard. Many We're turned
away from the door, unable to gain an
entrance. Heney, Hiram JOhnson,
Langdon. Rudolph Sprecl1els and ]. J.
Dwyer were present, and the Mayor
and Ruef We're there attended by
Henry Ach, Metson and Barrett. Heney
opened by reading a reply affidavit
reviewing the course of the proceed
ings before Judge Dunne, and showing
that the present motion was merely an
attempt 10 evade joint hearing on
the motions which the two defendants
had Jointly made. and which one of
them continued 10 delay by tactics
which had developed no material evil
dence. He urged that the evidence
which might be presented for either
OF the defendants against the con-
spiracy for which they were Jointly
charged must OF necessity be identical
and that as a matter of fact Schmftz
was only asking for trial on one of
the cases, that on Indictment No 3OS-

davit OF the Mayor which was pre-
viously filed, setting forth, that his
official duties IN the matter Of the re-
construction of the city and the set
tlement Of the japanese question de-
manded his immediate attention
Heney showed that Schmitz had been
out on bond and that even his pres
ence in the courtroom had not been
required during the pleadings of his
cO-deferdant.

ment, Graham al once ruled that he

Witness Says He
Paid Ruef. for
Protection

After an enforced recess of TWO
weeks the Grand Jury assembled yes
terday afternoon at it's rooms in Native
Sons Hall, Geary and Cough streets,
and heard additional testimony as to
the methods used by Abe Ruef and
Mayor Schmitz TO extort money from
the French restaurant proprietors. L.
BlapQuie was the sole witness OF the
session. IT took him but a few mo-
ments to give his testimony and it was
OF so convincing a character that the
grand 5urors held a consultation i'm
nediately afterward and, it is believed,
voted additional indictments against
RDef and the Mayor.
Blanquie testified before the Grand
jury that he had been interested in
Jacks Rotisserie, which was formerly
at 6l5 Sacramento street. He said that
early last year he had been informed
by Camille Mailhebuau OF Franks res
taurant that the French restaurants
would lose their licenses unless a big
sum OF money were paid to Ruef
BlanQuie demurred at first, saying to
MailhebGau that, in the first place, he
conducted his business legitimately
and, in the second place. the price de-
msnded by Ruef was too high
Mailhebuau, according to the testi-
mOny. conveyed the message TO Ruef
but the boss was insistent, finally cut
AAu2 lnt sum uOAA ana agreeing 10
let four restaurants of for a total of
$500. OF this sum Blanquie testified
that he had been forced TO pay $3.50.
When asked by members of the
Grand, Jury If he had understood the
payment to constitute a legal fee TO
Ruef, Blanquie replied in the negative.
He said that he had paid the money
70 Maflhebuau knowing that it was to
go TO Ruef for the purpose of securing
protection.
After Blanquie had been excused the
grand jurymen held a long consulta-
rion and il is understood that indiet-
melfrs were voted against the Mayor
and Ruef, not only in the case of
Jacks restaurant, but also the Old
Poodle Dog, Franks and Pauls. all of
which were forced to pay tribute. AS
the Grand Jury has decided not 10 re-
turn any more Indictments in court un-
til ready TO adjourn sine die, the true
bills voted yesterday viii be held
secret
IT is the plan OF the Grand Jury to
meet again on Wednesday morning at
9 o'clock As the attendance of mem
bers VIII be required in Judge Dunne's
courtroom on Wednesday, it is not ex-
pected that a long session viii be
held. 1T is believed that the grand
jurors will be free TO continue their
sessions unhampered at the end of the
week.

ANDRIEU CASE DISMISSED
Cabaniss Refuses 10 Entertain Charges
Against Graft Witness

f. The attempt on the part of Schmitz
and Ruef TO railroad Alfred Andrieu to
the penitentiary on a charge of placing
Jennie Hubner in the municipal brothel
at go Jackson street was defeated by
Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday when
he held that the defendant had not
been guilty Of any crime. An6rieu is a
star witness against the grae+ers, and
they made desperate efforts to discredit
him by means OF a trumped-up ac-
cusation that he was responsible for
the womans downfall.
In dismissing the case Judge Cab
aniss said that the evidence showed
that the girl entered the place not
through any misrepresentation on the
part Of Andrieu, but with a full knowl-
edge OF the life she was about to lead.
