No Indictments Returned.

The grand jury adjourned without re-
turning any indictments, until next Sat
urday, in order to give the assistant
district attorney time, it is understood,
to prepare the case against the United
Railroads, whose alleged bribing of su-
pervisors and others is to be prObed
next week by the inqUisitorial board.
An extraordinary incident today was
the appearance at Cough and GeaTy
streets of a man and an aged woman,
the latter carrying a huge placard
rudely lettered with denunciatiOns of
Rudolph Spreckels. Heney, District At
torney Laugdon and the grand jury.
The man attracted a crowd by standing
on the curb opposite Native Sons hall
and loudly haranguing against those
named. Members of the grand jury
came to the windows of the inquisitiOn
chamber and listened with some show
of amusement. A policeman finally ar
rived and chased the man and his aged
comrade off.
The trial of Ruef will be resumed I'm
the superior court tomorrow morning.

San Francisco, April 16.-FOr the sec

president of the Home Telephone COM
pany of Los Angeles, and one of the five
stockholders of the Empire Construc-
ton company of California, today re-
fused to be examined by the grand jury
as to his connection with or knowledge
of the alleged bribing of the San Fran

to the Home Telephone company of this
city. A few weeks ago Mr.. Cass, under
subpoena, appeared before the grand

through the medium of the Los Angeles

earthquake shocks continued on the
west coast until 4 o'clock this morn
ing. Late news from the earthquake
area shows that the devastation
wrought was greater than at first sup
posed. Beside the destruction of Chill
pancingo and Chilapa, 1t is now said
that TiXtla also was leveled. Messen-
gers reaching Chilpancingo say the
towns of Ayutla and Ometepec have
been wiped out.
The population of Ayutla is small,
and it is thought the loss of life there
will be insignificant
Ometepec is a town of about 1000 in
habitants, and the loss of life probably
is large.
Tlapa. near the border line of the
state Of OaXaca, is also reported to be
wiped out. A report from Chilpancingo
says the whole of the west coast from
Acapulco south of Salina Cruz has been
badly damaged.
Only One Wire Working.
The damaged places are remote. and
news from the stricken district conse-
quently is Incomplete Only one wire
is working to Chilpancingo. Through
the courtesy of the Federal Telegraph
company the Associated Press was Civ
en- this wire today at noon while it was
working through to ChiipancingO. The
operator at Chilpancingo declared that
up to that time ne knew nothing as to
the number of dead, beyond the fact
that he had seen about a dozen dead
bodies and knew of about thirty
wounded.
A dispatch to Ell Pals, the organ of
The Catholic church here, from the
bishop of Chilapa, confirms the report
of the total destruction wrought in
that neighborhood. Fourteen are re-
ported to have been killed in one house,
and the number of wounded is given as
thirty-nine.
In Tixtla it is reported that twelve
dead bodies have been taken from the
ruins, and that twice that number of
wounded are being cared for.
The operator at ChilpancingO reports
that the state government has provided
tents for the homeless people.
Continuous Shocks.
Up to 4 o'clock this morning the
shocks continued with more or less Sc
verify in the vicinity of Chilpancingo,
destroying some of the most important
public buildings. The hospitals. schools
and the Jail are in ruins. The prisoners
from the jail were placed under guard
by the rurales.
Up to this time the total number of
dead reported is thirty-eight, and the
wounded ninety-three. However, in
view of the later reports. it is thought
these figures viii fall far short of the
real number of fatalities.
1t is reported that Acapulco Is partly
submerged by great waves. On the
night of the first shock the harbor took
on the appearance of a typhoOn-swept
ocean. Just how much of the port has
been submerged is not known. A vague
message says that the houses as far
as the church are under water" A
number of ships were in the harbor
at the time. but il is said all escaped.
Reports from nearly all of the large
cities I'm the southern part of the re-
public have now been received, and al
thoukh many of these places felt the
shock severely, 10 less of life has been
reported and the property loss is in
significant.
News is anXiOusly awaited from the
isthmus of Tehuantepec, where it is
feared the earthquake may have done
much damage

Might Incriminate Himself.

Today Nh. Heney called up Mr..
Knight and told him that he OHnighD
had been misinformed as to the inten-
ton of the grand jury to indict his
clients with or without cause, and he
again EXTENDED to Mr.. Cass the priv
ilege'' of going before the inquisitOrial
body and explaining certain suspicious
circumstances if he could explain them
and desired to do So.
The result was that Cass appeared in
the grand jury anterOOm this afternoon,
but when invited TO take the stand he
refused. on the ground that he might
incriminate himself.
The witnesses examined at today s
session were former Police Commits
sioners H.W. Hutton, John DrinkhOuse,
T. F. Reagan and Josiah Howell. They
were questioned as to their knowledge
of the le-in-the-slot machine petty
grating alleged by the prosecution
against Mayor Schmitz and some of his
administration associates.

HERMANN CASE
NEARLY ENDED
Some Prominent. Officials TeS-
tify as to Reputation of
the Defendant.

Washington, April 16.-The defense in
the case of Binger Hermann for de-
stroying public records rested this aft
ernoop and the prosecution began its
evidence in rebuttal. The sur-rebuttal
testimony of the defense, it is expected,
will be brief after which arguments
will be made and tho case given to the
jury.
Thai Mr.. Hermann's reputation for
honesty and integrity is good. was tes-
titled to by Justice Mckenna of the
supreme court of the United States,
Justice Lowery Of the United States
court of claims, Justice Gould of the
supreme court of the District of Co
Iumbia and Chief Clerk H. H. Gilfey of
the United States senate. John S. Mos
by, leader of Mosby's guerillas during
the civil war, produced two letters
from the defendant commencing him
for work in running down land frauds
in Nebraska in 1902, when Colonel Mos
by was a special agent of the land Of
flee. These letters were regarded as
important as showing that not all Of
Mr.. Hermanns correspondence was
copied in his letter books.

spondent of a Portland, Ore, news
paper, identified a dispatch he sent his
paper July IS. 1902, telling of the crea-
ton of the Blue Mountain forest re-

got from Commissioner Hermann, and
It was printed in Portland two days
before the alleged tip" telegram sent
by Hermann to F. p. Mays of Port
land.
The precise place where S. A. D. Pu-
ter obtained the two $1,000 bills he said
ne gave to Senator Mitchell was again
the subject of controversy, Mr.. Puter
being recalled by the prosecution. Not
withstanding kilograms from Milwau-
kee and Chicago banks tracing several
drafts, Mr.. Puter stuck to his story
that he got six or eight such bills from
a Milwaukee bank.
Mr. Hermann resumed the stand and
was questioned briefly regarding a tel
egram on record in the land office sent
by him to w. n. Jones of Portland,
July ), 1901, which read:
Understand informally proclama-
ton now before the president"
This was intended to refute defen-
dant's previous testimony that he did
not know Jones.
