LEGAL CRIMINAL

San Francisco Boss Pleads Guilty.
Abraham Ruef, who for several years
of San Francisco and who for several
months has been under close guard
awaiting trial on the charge of extort-
ing protection money from Delmonico's
French restaurant, has changed his
plea from not guilty to guilty. He did
this in most impressive manner, read
ing in court from prepared statement
and showing great emotion. He said
the trial had become a threatening
danger to his health and to the health
of his parents and sister, and, although
he protested that he was guiltless Of

referred to the fact that Socialists In

that limitation upon the right of prl-
vate property was widely favored and
limitations upon individual opportunity
still more widely enforced among the
wageworkers of the labor unions, who
believe in putting limit upon the
amount OF work which each man shall
be permitted to do in q day. He
thought 1t doubtful if higher educa-

Foraker Repudiates Deal.
United States Senator Foraker of
| Ohio has set at naught all efforts of his
| colleague, Senator Dick, Boss Cox of
Cincinnati and other Ohio Republicans
| to establish a harmonious agreement
| or modus vivendi between the Foraker
and Taft factions. In prepared state
ment Senator Foraker said he would

president and Foraker for senator or

! to the peace pact, and he refused to
sanction any agreement reached by the
then projected conference of Ohio con-
gressmen, which was Gated by Sena-
| tor Dick. Following this statement
Senator Dick postponed the confer
| ence. Foraker insists that Cox's state
ment in favor of Taft for president
| and Foraker for senator was made
without consultation with him.
The failure of the state central COM
mittee to meet and indorse Taft for
the presidency was regarded as giving
| Foraker the advantage in the first
round CT the fight. Congressman Bur

and to do this he would work as the
humblest citizen, promising that his
future career would be one of integrity.
He preferred to face prison sentence
if necessary rather than go through the
ordeal of Il trial with the suffering it
would entail upon those nearest and
dearest TO him.
When he had finished. District Attor-
ney Langdon took him by the hand
and said. You did manly thing" as
suring him that the prosecution would
do all it properly could for him. Ruef's
change of front brought CONSERVATION
into the camp of Mayor Schmitz, as it
meant that the day of immunity was
past. Ruef had agreed to go on the
stand, and with his testimony it was
certain that the mayor could be con-
victed. Also it made probable the con-
viction of the rich corporation bribers
who had corrupted the city officials.
Pierce Must Face Trial.
In the federal court, ST. Louis, Judge
Adams denied the application of II.
Clay Pierce, head of the WatersPierce
Oil company, for writ of habeas cor
pus and ordered that he be remanded
to the custody of the chief of police to
be delivered to Sheriff Matthews OF
Travis county, Tex, for extradition.
Pierce is wanted there to answer IN
indictment charging perjury in an af-
fidavit made in May, 1900, to the effect
that the Waters-Pierce company was
not party TO any pool trust, confed-
GRAFTON or combination in restraint of
trade. In his decision Judge Adams
said the conclusion was irresistible
that the indictment contained the sub
stance of an offense and that techni-
calities should not stand in the way Of
justice. Pierce, who was in court at
the time OF the decision, showed that
he was laboring under great mental
stress, while his attorney, Priest. was
visibly disconnected, as shown by the
trembling of BIS hands. Priest gave
notice of two appeals that would be
taken, one to the circuit court of ap-
peals and one to tie Unlted States SUI
preme court, and Pierce was admitted
to bond in the scZl Of 10000.

years had an international reputation
as a member OF the New York divorce
firm Of Howe & lIummel and who III
1905 was convicted on the charge of
subornation of perjury in the Dodge
| Morse divorce scandal, reached the end
of the rope spun out by the laws delay
| when Chief Justice Cullen OF the New
York court OF appeals denied Hum
| mers application for a certificate of
reasonable doubt as 10 the validity OF
his conviction, which had been affirm
ed by the appellate division. This
meant as his attorneys admitted, that
Hummel would have to serve his SEN
tence of one years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary and pay a fine of $500
| This is regarded as a great legal vic.
tory for District Attorney Jerome
! who when Hunmel was convicted said
This man and his firm have been a
menace to this community for twenty
years" The case has been remarkable
for the long fight made by the convict
| ed man to escape the penalty by en-
| ploying every technical device known

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, April e6-"stiIi no rain in KAN
sas was the slogan Of bulls in the wheat
market which enabled them to force up
the price of that grain nearly two cents
per bushel today. At the close the July
delivery showed a net gain OF izsd2c.
Corn was up isQizc. Oats were ssGl5c
higher, ana provisions closed II to f71sc
higher.
The wheat market manifested decided
strength all day The early weather bu-
reau report, which announced that Kan
sas was still without moisture. brought
out an urgent demand when trading be-
gan and the demand was augmented
later by the official forecast of fair
weather tonight and tomorrow. There
was a great deal of realizing on the ad-
vance, but the influx of a new crowd of
bulls, largely influenced by New York 5
report of fifty-five carloads taken for
export. prevented any reaction. Bullisn
sentiment was additional, accumulated by
sharp advances in ali the leading Euro
pean markets. July opened 5xu&4c higher
at A5sae2ls, sold up 70 SSssQSSlsc. and
closed at S3i4 QS33sc, 17seI2c over yesterday.
May ranged between 1871 dS0ssc and closed
at the highest point.
The corn market was not overly re-
sponsive to the bulge in wheat, firm cab
les and small receipts. There was con-
siderable covering OF May contracts
throughout the session Under which that
option exhibited some buoyRney. Contin-
ued favorable weather for farm work,
however, held the delayed futures in
check. July opened a shade higher to kc
higher at 49SsH4s2.c to 49ii, and closed 10
&c higher at 499s d497sc. Nav closed at
50hc. showing a premium over July of
leQ5sc.
Unfav cradle weather for the growing
crop caused bullish sentiment in the oats
pit. Liberal realizing sales. however
tended to hold the market in check des-
pite a sharp advance in the price of the
cash article. July opened a shade to Is
axe higher at Hd4lsse, advanced to 42ise
and closed at H5sc.
Provisions were quiet, but steady in
sympathy with hogs and grain. July pork
closed 1712c higher; July lard was 121zd
15c higher, and ribs for July were 1eql91zc
up.
