BROKE DOWN AND WEPT.
Dramatic Scene in Court When Ruef
Made His Statement,

San Francisco. May 15.-Abrahan1 Ruef,
nervous and pallid, today in Judge
DUNES court pleaded guilty to the crime
of extortion, the felony for which he was
to have been tried by the jury already
selected. In pleading guilty he made am
impressive address to the Judge stating
that he had commenced his career in ptl-
itics with high ideals for himself and fo-
the city, but that conditions had broken
him down, and he now desired only an
oppo; tunity to make reparation and re
store his character before the world.
As he concluded his address he fell back
into his chair. almost fainting and the
tears eoursed down his cheeks
His health, he said, could not endure
tl:e strain o. the trial which he vas far
ing, and the torture was hey nd the en-
durance to those who were nearest and
dearest to him
Lawyers Withdrew From Case.
Before Ruef arose his attorneys. Henry
Ach, SamCel Shortridge and Frank Muir
ply. one by one, arose and stated that.
owing to a grave difference of opinion
with their client, each of them must with
draw from the case.
Ruef In his address spoke with emotion
of the fidelity of his counsel.
Judge Dunno, at the termination of
Ruef's address, made no comment except
to continue the case two weeks for SEN
tence.
At ten minutes to u o'clock Ruef and
his attorneys. who has been in consulta-
ton. returned to the courtroom. Henry
Ach led the way. He was followed by
Ruef, who looked pale, weak and self
co7scious, and though he was laboring
under some terrible mental burden.
One Remained In Court.
Ach was the first to speak. He said
there had been a disa greement between
himself and his client and that he would
be forced to withdraw from the case.
Ruef expressed himself as agreeable to
this. Ach thereupon left the courtroom
and Samuel Shortridge rose. He also said
that h. could no longer represent Ruef
as his attorney, and with Ruefs consent
he would withdraw, Ruef consented, and

Heavy Demand for OYSTERS

The demand for oysters in the shell con-
tlnues quite heavy at the 18th street oyster
wharf, but the supply there is getting
small One of the vessels that arrived there
yesterday morning has already unloaded
her cargo of five six hundred bushels
and has sailed for the Potomac oyster beds
after another cargo The sloop Fannie
Shepherd was brought into port yesterday
afternoon by the tug Minerva, and her
cargo will aid in keeping up the supply 1n-
til the tug Camilla can return from the
lower river with the tow of oyster-laden
vessels she is expected to bring back The
Fannie Shepherd loaded below Colonial
Beach and sailed up the river without trou-
BILE as far as Fort Washington, where the
tug took the tow line and brought her to
this city. The Shepherd is the first sailing
vessel to come up the river under sail for
a month or more. The oysters at the wharf
are selling today at from IS cents to 81
per bushel big drop from the prices of
last week. when there were no vessels with
oysters at the wharves, and the supply was
in the oyster houses exclusively.

PUBLIC MAY SHARE.
Regal Shoe Company to Place Prefer
red Stock on Market.

The Regal Shoe Company, which has
teen years, has arranged to place 81, 800, 600
of it's per cent preferred stock on the
market whereby the public can share in
the profits of the company. 1t Is stated
that this issue is not dictated by any ne
cessity or idea of meeting any indebted
ness, but solely for the purpose of en-
larging the capacity of its factory and TAX
ing care of business already in sight. Fur
Their, the novel feature is that it will not
only facilitate subscriptions, but will offer
a specific guarantee of the safe and con-
sentative character of the investment in the
announcement that sixty-f1ve banks of the
United States will act as depositors for re-
ceiving subscriptions and delivering stock.
The company proposes that there shall be
no impartiality, and as soon as the subscr1p
tions are received they will be filed accord
ingly and will draw interest from the date
of actual entry, the company only reserving
the right Of rejecting any application for
cause, and of awarding parcels smaller than
may be applied for. 1t Is stated that the
business of the company for eleven years
yielded more than enough profits to- pay
above per cent on So, 100000. 1t Is con-
tended that this is all the more remarkable
in the fact that the firm was founded by
Mr.. E. J. Bliss in 1898 with capital of
81 800.
This company, it Is stated, now controls
122 stores and agencies, all Of which are
supplied by the home factory at Whitman,
Mass. 1t is stated that in New York alone
been sold in one day. The company will
send a complete list of the sixty-hve banks
to act as depositors for subscriptions to
any one making application.
