SAN FRANCISCO, August 20. -- Ths
task Of showing that by means Of q
"straw" Home Telephone Co., the Pacific
States Telephone Company sought Il
prevent the entrance OF the real home
company Into Oakland, was resumed Of
the Glass trial today.
The evidence introduced tended 10 show
that the franchise for the "straw" Home
Company was secured, and later trans
ferved TO the Pacific States Company.
Finally the Pacific States Company, II
Il alleged, through thinner asked 10
have the franchise forfeited and the
bond returned,
Delmas secured the admission from
Attorney Beasley OF San Jose who tcs-
titled regarding the 'stra%" company,
that the legal papers connected with
the matter were drawn up by the Pa
ciGc states legal department presided
over by Attorney pillsbury, who while
on the stand last week, sworc this work
to be solely under the direction Of
Glass.
President Scott and Auditor Sherwin,
Of the Telephone Company, testified that
the approval Of vouchers for Abe Ruefs
salary was made known TO the grand
jury as long ago us last month.
During the afternoon session bad blood
between Heney and Delmas showed IL.
self again Secretary Ryan of the board
OF supervisors was called to the stand
TO identify the franchise granted by that
body TO the Home Company.
Heney and Delmas got into a wranglc
over the physical character Of the evil
ience offered and finally Hcney exclaim-
ed impatienty to Delmas,
"oh, well, I'm not as particular about
my dress and speech as You are, any
show"

/ Il have always understood" said
Delmas. "that there is nothing more III.
bred than to refer 10 gcntleman's
dresas
THAT Is true" said Hensy. and there
Ia no man who 10 more panctillious In
his dress and less careful In his conduct
than you are
And there Is no greater blaakguari
living than you are answered Delmas.
Tho contest Of words was getting
close TO the personal contact point and
both Attorney Delmas and Attorney
Heney wec getting red In the face and
shouting TO each other. Their wordy
passage OF the day before had brought
a great many TO the court room who an.
ticipated such another exhibition today
ami there was considerable disturbance
In the court room. The jury lost all
interest In the words OF the witness and
Judge Lawler raped impatiently on the
desk In front OF him while he strived
TO make his voice heard above the din
OF the two lawyers snarling speech and
that occasioncd by the spectators in the
court room.
II desire this evidence to be read
without any further exchanges of this
Sort" said Judge Lawler, his manner
being very curt and impatient.
When the two lawyers had been re-
pmmanded by the court they settled down
again into the detail Of carrying on the
trail but 1t is easy TO see that there
is keen personal rivalry between the
two which may break out at any time
in such an incident as occurred today or
even worse, Both men are Of testy
temperament and the clash today will
only bring more Of the curious minded
to the trail room who wish to see the
great Heney and Delmas have set-to.

its horror this morning and the rest

When the Prince first arrived ev-
erything was formal. On the platform
were Mayor Clark and Stuyvesant
Fish, who told the Prince that his crew
were the best behaved lot Of sailors
Newport had ever seen. The Prince ex.
pressed his thanks and the ceremony
ended. When the floor was cleared for
dancing the Prince watched until he
could keep still no longer. Jumping
down on the floor, he placed his royal
arm around the trim waist of Miss
GeNlh Swenson and joined the dancers
After that the Prince danced with half
the girls in the room, until Baron Lager
crantz led him, exhausted but laughing
to o seat.

Railroads Could Help.

saThe best possible regulation of rates

cured by an honest agreement between
me railroads themselves to carry out the
law Such a general agreement would.
for instance at once put a stop to the
efforts of any one big shipper or big rail
road to discriminate against or secure adj
vantages over some rival; and such
agreement would make the railroads
themselves agents for enforcing the law.
