ABE RUFF DISAPPEARS
FROM SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, March 6.-When the
court reconvened yesterday afternoon
to proceed with the trial of Abe Ruef
on the charge Of extortion, Prosecutor
Heney announced that Ruef could not
be found and stated further that Ruef
is fugitive from Justice.
Ruef's disappearance has created q
tremendous sensation. The entire
force Ct detectives at Heney's COM
mand are loopking high and low for
him.
It is not generally believed that
Ruef has left the city. He on Monday
secured writ of error from Superior
Judge Hebbard and did not appear be-
fore Superior Judge Dunno for trial
on the indictments for alleged felony
returned by the grand jury. Ruef and
his attorneys are believed to have con-
sidered that the action of Judge Heb
bard acted as bar to further proceed
ings before Judge Dunno on the ground
that, following the granting Of the
writ, steps had been taken to carry
the case to the United States supreme
court, the federal appeal being based
on the plea that Ruef had been de-
prived of his constitutional rights.

REFERENDUM MEASURE
dies In STATE SENATE

Olympia, M arch 1.-THE senate last
night, in it's first evening session, pas
sed the three good roads bills prepared
by the house committee on roads and
bridges. They are the committee
compromise bills which Representa-
tive Ramsay led in preparing, one of
which permits the counties to get back
half of the money in improvements
they have paid into the general fund.
Ranck's bill on initiative and refer
endum was indefinitely postponed af-
ter Senator Cotterill made speech in
it's behalf. He sounded an earnest
warning that the senators ought not to
proclaim the legislature master and
the people servants. He referred to
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, and ask
ed that the precept that the govern
ment of the people by and for the
people be not allowed to perish. The
bill was killed by a vote of 25 to IL.

SENATOR SPOONER has
rendered RESIGNATION

Washington, March 4.-Senator J.
G. Spooner has written letter to Gov.
Davidson, of Wisconsin, rendering his
resignation as senator of the United
States, to take effect May l next. The
letter was dated Saturday, but the fact
that such letter had been written or
that Mr.. Spooner contemplated resign
ing did not become known until late
Sunday, when it created great surprise,
and the Wisconsin senator at once
found himself the subject of many
ANXIOUS inquiries. To all these he
answered that his mind was fully made
up. He had found, he said, that to
continue In his present position would
REQUIRE q sacriflc on his part that he
could not justify himself In making.
In reply to questions he said he would
resume the practice Of law, but de-
clined to say whether he would be To-
Gated in Wisconsin. He did say, how
ever. that he would continue to be a
citizen OF that state as long a. he lives.

other railroads. The domination
which Mr.. Hartman already possesses
over the West is being extended to the
East. His recent enormous purchases
of stock of the Baltimore & Ohio and
the New York Central give indications
OF ambition to set up an Eastern rail-
road empire.
All this railroad expansion had it's
origin in an issue of 500, 600, 900 of
Union Pacific bonds in 1901. In other
words Mr.. Hartman obtained a loan
for that amount by pledging the COM
pany's property, and went into the
business of buying up other roads with
borrowed money. His investments
proped profitable and by turning the
millions over and over he has been en-
abled to 60 on adding to his railroad
empire and incidentally making him.

HIS SOUTHERN HOME
~~~~~~~~~

~ HALL I put in the pale blue even
- ing gown, dear?" asked Mrs
- Worthington. She was packing
trunks, because they were going to Ed
gars home, down in Mississippi, to visit
the old plantation.
Yes, darling, do" said Mr.. Worth
ington. He sat on the edge Of the bed
and smoked, thus greatly aiding his
wife. He looked at her fondly. The
old folks had never seen Dora, and
now at last he would take her South,
that she might see his birthplace, and
be feted by the aunts and cousins, the
married sisters and all the rest.
Its like another world" he said
dreamily, mot like it is up here, where
they're all SO cold and unsociable
Well stay a couple of months, by
George! 1 can arrange it. That will
give you rest from this beastly little
fat"
Mrs. Worthington sighed happily.
"Will the cotton be growing?" she In
quired, land the sugar cane? And the
magnolias? Oh, how long to breathe
their sweet perfume"
Mr. Worthington assured her that
the magnolias would be working, even
if it was a bit late for cotton.

vised. 1.-THE gov'nor does a good lot

STOPS SURVEY ON
PENINSULAR line

Port Townsend, Wash, March .
rhe entire surveying crew of the
Northern Pacific railroad which has
been busily engaged in laying off
the route of the new line along Hoods
canal, has arrived here by launch and
went up sound on the morning boat,
having suspended operations under
peremptory orders. The reason for
this action is not apparent here, as
the Hood canal route taps the richest
timber holdings in Western Washing
ton and it was believed here that no
dealy would be brooked in pushing
the preliminary and construction
work. The engineers In charge de-
clined to offer any opinion as to the
sudden change Of plans which stops
the survey when more than half COM
pleted.

spent MUCH MONEY
SHORT SESSION MAKES RECORD
ON APPROPRIATIONS.
Amount Is Practically a Billion
Dollars---Besides Appropria-
tons Considerable Important
Legislation Has Been Enacted.
Adjournment Monday Noon.

Washington, March 4.-More money
has been appropriated during the short
session of the Fifty-ninth congress,
which passed into history at noon to-
day than during any previous session.
The amount approximately is billion
dollars.
Two big battleships for the navy we're
authorized, and for the artillery corps
appropriations we're also made. A gen.
eral service pension bill was granted
to veterans of the Mexican and Civil
wars, and like provisions we're made
for army nurses. For river and har-
Dor improvements the appropriations
aggregated $83, O0O,O0
Increased salaries were given to cab
met officers, the vice president and
senators, the speaker Of the house Of
representatives and it's members, to
am bassadors, ministers and consuls,
to postofice clerks and letter carriers.
The public made more inquiries for
information from the document rooms
of congress regarding the ship subsidy
bill, the currency measure and the
bill regulating the hours of labor of
railway employees than any other pend
ing legislation. Ship subsidy died hard
in the last hours.
The migration bill, one Of the mea-
sures brought over from the long ses-
sion, was completed under the spur Of
the president, that he might meet the
acknowledgements situation by CIV
ing the administration control of
coolie transportation through pass
ports. The bill further restricts the
admission of aliens to this country. A
bill was passed for the establishment
of an agricultural bank in the Philip
pine islands. The fr o alcohol law Of
last session was modified so that far
mers may distill waste products to he
denatured.
The right of appeal in criminal cases
was granted the government, a mea-
sure intended to strengthen the anti
trust legislation by affording a means
whereby the supreme court may pass
on the constitutionality and construc-
ton of such laws. An Investigation
was ordered regarding the condition
of women and child workers. The in
terstate commerce commission was
authorized to ascertain if the express
companies of the country are evading
the railroad rate law of last session by
buying, selling and handling on con-
signment fruit, vegetables and oysters.
Reed Smoot was retained as a sena-
tor from Utah, ending a four years
controversy.
The senate ratified treaties with San
to Domingo and Algericas.
The president was authorized to use
his good Offices to prevent atrocities in
the Congo.
The senate also launched an ex-
haustive investigation Of the Browns
Vile ARRAY.

The referendum bill has been one
Of the most interesting ones before the
house for several days and has been
several times shifted about by the COM
mittee on rules to prevent it being
brought to vote. At other times the
house has reached it and FASTENED to
adjourn, but the advocates of the bill
insisted on a vote, and when it came
there were enough men pledged to
vote for it in addition to those actu-
ally in favor of it to procure it's pas
sage.
The same bill has been on the SEN
ate calendar for several days, but put
over from day to day on motion OF
Senator Cotterill, its chief hampione,
who desired to have it votedc on in til
house first. There was better chance
of passing 1t in the house and he de.
sired the prestige of its passage there
to help it through the senate.
The passage Of the bill by the house
brings it before the senate in the best
possible shape, since if that body fails

and amended by adding an emergency
clause. The senate at once concurred
in the amendment. The bill went to

T. D. Rockwell, member of the

POSSIBLE CURES FOR
RAILROAD CONDITIONS

New York, March 4.-The inquiry
into the Hartman roads made by tho
Interstate commerce commission, which
resulted in some sensational develop
ments of high finance during the past
week, has caused variety Of sugges-
lions for remedies. Among those now
under consideration by the commits
sion are the following:
Prohibition of ownership Of any
stocks and bonds by one railroad COM
pany in competing line.
Consent of some federal authority
before any new securities could be
issued.
Action by the attorney general in
the courts to dissolve control by the
Union Pacific over the Southern Pa
CHIC as parallel and competing line.
Similar action in the case OF the
chicago & Alton, which is parallel
and competing line to the Illinois
Oeatral, which is controlled by the
Union Pacific, and to the Rock Island,
winch has joint agreement with the
Union Pacific to control the Alton.
Legal action to dissolve the joint
tralnc agreement between the Union
faclhc, Atchison and San Pedro lines,
which arbitrarily fix the rates of the
west and Southwest.
For two months the commission
has taken testimony in different cities
legardlng the Hartman roads. The
.niet object, so far as Interstate COM
merce Is concerned, was to ascertain
whether rates charged on freight bust
ness were proper. To determine this,

THE SPIRIT OF DREAM.

A dream is like a ghost that walks
In lands of lost delight;
We lean to it across the bars
OF velvet-footed night.
With pleading hands held out to 1t,
We follow it's dim feet
Into the valleys of the bloom
Where youth and gladness meet.
The little pathways of the hill,
The ladders to the sky,
With golden rungs to tread upon,
Up these it passes by;
And when we lean and when we call,
And when we feel it near,
Lo, in the little window peeps
The sun, and morn is here!
