 Reuf to Get Money from
 Restaurant Keeper.
POLICE COMMISSIONER A TOOL

>sss1. Francisco, June 5.-The opening address of the prosecuting by Assist ant District Attorney Heney, the par- tial examination in chief of former Police Commissioner Thomas Began. the introduction as evidence of a mass of data of the minute books of the Police Commission for the years 1904 05, and the questioning in relation thereto of the secretary of the commits sion, Officer Charles F. Skully, were the incidents which made up the first days actual trial of Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz for extortion.
 Officer Skully will resume the wit ness stand at the opening of court to- morrow to further identify and cor roborate police commission records. He will be followed by MT. Reagan, who will complete his testimony and then be turned over to the defense for cross examination.
 It Is expected that the trial will take up not less than two weeks.
 Assistant District Attorney Money, in his opening statement to the jury, charged the Mayor and Ruef with plot ting to carry on 8 systematic scheme of blackmair' through the police com mission. Heney recited at great length the alleged methods used by the Mayor and Ruef to intimidate the French restaurants and to show them that Ruef was the only man who could se- cure their licenses to them and that money was the only tling that would obtain his inftueiaes
 To show the pad intention cf tht Mayor" said Heney, i've expect tc prove that the fight against Commits sioner Sutton, which ended in his re- moval by the Mayor, was made because Sutton was trying to close up disrepu- table resorts.
 Former Police Commissioner Reagan was the first witness He said his re- lations with the Mayor were very friendly. Began said 1t was in the summer of 1904, in the Mayors office in the new city hall, that he had his first talk with the Mayor on the subject of French restaurants. The Mayor told Reagan they were all bad places. and wanted Reagan to visit them to find out for himself and then close them up.
 The witness said there were then 3,070 liquor licenses and most of the French restaurants sold liquor under that form. In compliance with the Mayors instructions, Began assisted in holding up the licenses of these places.

SHOT INTO HOUSE
BROWNSVILLE WOMAN TEsTIFIEs
 AS TO VOLLEY FIRING.
Senate Committee Hear How Children were Put Under He'd When Negro soldiers Commenced "ShOOt-
 ing Up" The Town.

Washington. June 5-The Senate Committee on Military Affairs today listened to several dramatic stories of the shooting up" of the town of Brownsville. Texas. Chief among these was that of Mrs. Louis Cowan, in whose house are the marks of twenty-three bullets and who hid her six children under bed and threw herself on the floor during fusilade that lasted several minutes. Describ- ing her condition of mind during the affray, she said
 We stood 1t because we were too frightened to be frightened, 1T there IS such an expression"
 She was followed by Armada Mar tinez a Mexican woman. who has been a servant in the family for several years. She went to a window to close tbe shutters when the firing began and says she saw a negro soldier not more than thirty feet from the window raise his gun and fire into the house Arthur H. Davis. a clerk in the Miller Hotel testified that he heard the shots and heard also the working of a mag azine gun.
 Louis Cowan, who was absent from home when the shooting began. testi- fled that he was not surprised to learn that his house had been singled out to
  shooting, as he had been told a week before. by a negro named William Hen rv that the negro soldiers would shoot up the town after pay day. On the 18th. the day of the shooting, Cowan purchased forty rounds of 45-calibrc ammunition and Winchester rife. He said he got his ammunition to protect his family against an attack. should one be made He was still on the stand when the noon recess was taken
 Senator Foraker was given assur- ance that it would be safe for him tC visit Brownsville regardless of his ef- forts to prove that negro soldiers were not guilty of shooting up the town At the conclusion of Cowan's testimony Cowan said he had been quoted 1T special dispatches from St. Louis a. saving that if Senator Forakcr wenl to Brownsville he would be tarred anc feathered. Cowan denied that he made any such remark
 "Then you think it would be per fectly safe for me to go there?' asked Senator Foraker.
 "Oh, yes sir" said Cowan.
 .I greatly appreciate this assurance, said Foraker
 The senator then referred to anothe! special dispatch saying that Cowan. or his way to Washington. compelled q negro porter to make up berth h a Pullman car by threatening to shooi him. Cowan also denied the truthful ness of this story.
 Senator Foraker told Cowan that h' had seen the stories but thought SC little of them that he had forgotter them

ALLEGE PRE-ARRANGED SALE

Toledo. C.. June 5.--A petition op- posing the confirmation of the sale of the oledo Railways and Terminal Con- pany was filed in the United States Circuit Court here today by the Ohio Savings Bank and rust Company. It Savings Bank and Trust Company. It his allies in banking and railroad cir cles entered into a conspiracy at the time the Terminal road was sold, and that a committee representing the bond holders bought the road at the upset price of $2,0O0,O0O It further charges that the creditors were prevent ed from bidding on the road by pre- arranged plan of Morgan and his all lies.
 It is said that the road would have sold for 8 much higher price had 1t not been for this alleged agreement be- tween the railroad interests whereby the road was to be bid in at the upset price of $2,000,000 thus freezing out unsecured creditors and holders of floating indebtedness.
 The petition ayers that should the sale of the road be confirmed. a scheme pany. and bond the road for $6,0oo. 900, these bonds to be secured by the Pere Marquette, Lake Shore and other railroads said to be in the vanderbilt
 The capital stock of the terminal road was $3,00o,000 according 10 the petition, and the majority of the stock Is owned by the banking house Of J; T. Morgan and Co, owners of the major itY Of tho stock Sf the Pere Marqaette It Ae deelared that a, protective com mlttaeasof the bondholders was organ ixed and 1t IS alleged that this comnlit tee entered into collision with ths Commonwealth Trust Co, on the az. plication of which the roads went inta the hands of receiver to prevent com petitive bidding; that the road Was knocked down at low hgure to pre-, vent the collection of liabilities ann prevent the unsecured holders from be- ing represented.

 Further allegations are that the Pere- Marquette will receive some ol the bonds of the new terminal com pany without compensation as a re- ward for It's failure to oppose the Tore closure of the mortgage on the terni- nal. All the railroads entering To ledo with one or two exceptions are under the control and influence Of Mor, gan, it is alleged, and as result ol this, none of the roads opposed tht bidding of the bondholders committee which purchased the road at the re- markably low price on May 2S.
