RUFF ASKED TO PLEAD.
Sx-Boss Suddenly Called Into Court
In Conspiracy Case.


San Francisco, Dec. 18.-Ate Ruef,
yesterday before Judge Dunno, pleaded
not guilty to the indictment jointly
charging him with Jerry Dinan, ex-
chief Of police, with conspiracy. The
charge against Ruef has been continued
from time to time for the last six
months and when. Assistant District
Attorney Cook asked that the defend
ant be forced to plead his action came
as a surprise. Ruef's attorneys, how
ever, made no effort to block the prose-
cutiol, and when the clerk of the court
demanded his plea, Ruef in low voice
replied, in conjunction with Dinan,
"not guilty"
Dinan also pleaded not guilty to the
Indictment charging him with perjury.
Both cases were then continued until
next Monday to be set for trial.
That Ruef is to feel the weight Of the
big stick for his refusal to testify in the
United Railroads cases, is now prac-
tically certain. When his testimony
was wanted most, during the two trials
Of TREY L. Ford, he refused to go on
the stand to tell what he knew, unless
the prosecution granted immunity
This demand it was impossible for the
prosecution to grant, even had they
been inclined to do so, as he had
pleaded guilty to the extortion charge
and Judge Dunno had declared that he
would never allow the ex-boss to escape
without sentence.

DISGUISED AS JAPS.
Inspector Captures Men Who Try
to Cross From Canada.
LATEST DODGE OF Willy CHINESE
Four Well Armed and Carrying Jap
anese Passposts Fail to Make
Scheme Work.

Spokane, Dec. 19.-Four Chinese,
three of them disguised as Japanese
and carrying Japanese passports, after
sneaking across the American boundary
line, were captured at Custer yesterday
afternoon by l.. j. Fuller Of the Immi-
grafton department. The Orientals car
ried two shotguns and rifle, and we're
heavily loaded with shells when cap
tured. They we're taken to Seattle last
might and placed in the detention hos
pital.
Inspector Fuller was out of town
working on another clue when the four
Cinnamon walked in from the nor h
Friends sent messages by telephone
for him to different farmhouses and he
was soon located. AS soon as he heard
of the suspicious characters he hurried
back to town, arriving 40 minutes be-
fore the Seattle train. He arrested the
men Immediately, telegraphed to Seat
tile to have guards at the station and
hurried his men aboard the train as
prisoners.
When arrested the Cinnamon pro-
tested that they were Japanese and
held to their story until they saw that
arrest was unavoidable. Two Of them
spoke English, but when they saw that
their disguise was Intellectual they re-
fused to make any statement. Inter-
prefers will cross question them today
and it is thought carefully laid plot
will be unearthed.
During the Russo-Japanese war nu-
merous instances Of japanese officers
Disgusting themselves as Chinese were
reported, but this is the first time the
immigration officers have run across as
smooth work in the line Of disguise.

sHR1NKAaE OF IRON.
Curious Action of the Me+aI When
Cast I'm Mold.

Curious, Action of the Metal When.
Cast in Mold.
The action OF fluid cast iron in tha'
mold Is somewhat curiSus. When,
poured into a mold in a state of fiuiii-
ity, cast iron. and especially what ls
known technically as veSp gray. ax-
pands at the moment of, solidificatiDn,
thus giving q sharp impression in the
mold. The expansion, slight but very
noticeable, extends untlis in the process
of cooling the iron attaIns the stage of
red heat. Contraction then takes, place,
with the result that the cooled iron is
noticeably smaller than the mold, says
the Philadelphia Record.
In making patterns for iron castings,
therefore, patternmakers commonly al
low about an eighth Of an inch per foot
for shrfnkage. The, shrlnkage' in cast
ings, however, is by no means a con-
stant quality, but varies materially
with the proportion existent in the pat
tern and the character OF the metal
used-as much as one tenth of an inch
per foot being allowed when casting
beams and only one-thirtHsecond Of an
Inch with large cylinders
In casting, therefore, thin strips the
shrinkage Of the length is very great,
while In the. thickness 1t is scarcely al,-
preciable. A square plate shrinks lit
tie in thickness, but equally in width
and breadth; fat disk shrinks little
In thickness, but equally in diameter.
A thin ring shrlnks more in diameter
than thick one. When 1t is known
that iron with different shrinkage from
that generally employed is to be used in
foundry the patterns are altered to
meet the changed conditions.
Silicon, unless In excessive quantL
ties. gives a gray, soft iron, which has
the minimum shrinkage. In many cases
a Judicious mixture of iron viii give
the desired result without extra ex
pense in patternmaking. Charcoal iror
has usually higher melting point thar
that Of less pure iron made with coke
1t sets more quickly In the mold ant
contracts more, SO that an extra allow
ance for shrinkage must be made In al
patterns employed. 1t will be seeI
from the above that patternmakers re
quire special technical skill as well al
knowledge Of the iron to be used II
casting for their patterns. There ART
few employments which require CREATE
specialized knowledge Of rather a wild,
range than that of patternmaking.

SEARCH SUITABLE PLACES.
Grounds for Army Maneuvers Are
Wanted in California.

San Francisco, Dec. 19.-Colonel ].
w. Duncan, chief of staff, has been
very busy this last week accumulating
maps Of all the different sections of
California, where it might be advisable
to hold maneuvers early during the
coming year.
There has been some talk Of holding
the maneuvers at American lake,
Washington, but that is now out of the
question, as since the divisions were
abolished only the troops Of the Depart
Inent Of the Columbia could utilize
American lake-the troops of this de-
partment must have their manuevers
in this state.
The Heney ranch, at Atascade, and
the Baron Won Schroeder properties, at
Santa Marguerite, it is reported, are
both available should the government
decide to select the Southern portion Of
the state as field Of rendezvous.

BUILD LARGER CARS.
Hartman Has Plan to Beat Hill On
Lumber Traffic.


Omaha, Neb., Dec. 19.-E. H. Har.
riman, to keep up with his rival, ]. j..
Hill, plans to spend over 81 l,OOO,OO in
equipping the Union Pacific railroad
with newly designed freight cars, built
especially to carry lumber. About l.
600 of these cars are to be ordered from
the Pittsburg Pressed Steel Car COM
pany, at 81 900 each.
When put in service they will be
used solely for carrying lumber. They
will have twice the capacity for that
purpose of the present cars, and will
thus enable the Union Pacific to lower
its lumber carrying rates. Mr.. Hill
will be forced to do likewise and will
probably be forced to equip his lines
with the new style cars to keep from
losing money. The new cars will carry
$4,000 feet, against 10000, the capaci.
ty of cars now used.

falling off in, the attendance since his re-
cent decision to withdraw from the work
There was a good attendance yesterday,
for 1t had been announced that Mr.. Rock
efeller would be present.
Jesus Attitude Toward Pleasures was
the young millionaire's topic yesterday
Men needed pleasures he said. and should
take them in the way they preferred so
long as they were of the right kind.
Dancing and card playing he did not think
wrong. so long as they were properly in
dulged in. Gard playing gave a mental
stimulus that was not harmful. but when
it came to playing cards for gain that was
a sin. Theater going he also approved of,
so long as the plays visited were straight
sober and pure. Such plays he thought
tended to noble thought and great Deeds
The making of money was to some men
the greatest form of pleasure, Mr.. Rookie
feller said. and so long as money was ac-
cumulated for the doing of good and the
exaltation of the Lords name it was
proper. He spoke scathingly, however, of
those who piled up money simply for the
sake of piling it up without reference to
the good that might be done with it. Next
Sunday Mr.. Rockefeller will enlarge on
this subject when he speaks on Jesus

A special dispatch to the Sun last night
from New Rochelle says:
"The body of Mrs. Smith is still at the
private morgue Of George Davis. None
of her alleged relatives, the Bulkeleys Of
Connecticut has appeared to claim 1t, and
it is not believed they will. as they say
the woman is an impostor who has given
them a lot of trouble by appropriating
their name for her matrimonial adven-
lures.
.'Mr. Samuel Smith. brother Of the mur-
dered man, instructed the undertaken to
keep the body of Mrs Smith until Mon
day noon, saying that If her relatives did
not claim 1t by that time he would see
that 1t was buried. He said that his fam
lily knew nothing Of his brothers wife
except that she had frequently told them
that she was a member of the Buckley
family of Hartford.
