Edward Marchand was introduced,
apparently for the mere purpose of
connecting the links in the tortuous
chain by which the first payment was
enected. He said he drew a check
for $4,000 and cashed it, securing five
Sl,O00 notes, which he turned over to
Priet. Two days later he received
checks for $1,175 each from Malfanti,
Blanco and Adler and cash in an un-

NOMINATE MEN FOR

Committee of Ten Submits
List of Merchants to

PLAN TO GUST OMAN
Members Work to Get Rid
of Department Chief
and Also Duffey
PLAN TO GUST OMAN

The committee of ten. composed OF
representatives of Ave leading COM
mercial associations, has placed in
the hands of Mayor Schmitz
new list of businessmen from which
he has been asked to select the
successor to w. II. Leahy on the police
commission. Sehuitz at first was in
clined to regard the SUI -estion with
favor, but later change rs mind. He
was then asked to name any business
man of standing for the place, but as
yet he has taken no action.
In all his dealings with the commit
tee of ten. Schmitz has shown
strange spirit OF indecision. Whether
he is triflng with the committee or has
been reduced TO a state OF nervous
uncertainty as a result of the graft
prosecution is not known. but, he has
for the nonce become reed blowing
hither and thither with every wind.
When the committee of ten began its
work IL counted on the assistance OF
the mayor and although he has been
appealed to several times he has never
been able to give definite answer on
anything placed before him. The COM
mittee places it's main hope in Gov
ernor Gfllett, and will consult with the
state executive wnen he returns from
Sacramento today.
For some weeks the committee has
been endeavoring to find a means OF
bringing about reforms in the police
and public works departments. 1t has
retained lawyers to study the situa
ton, but it has been found inexpedi-
ent to attempt custer proceedings
against any of the city officials. The
committee desires especially to be rid
of Chief Dinan and President Duffey
of the boar3 of public works The
committee bIlIeves that in this IL is
working al0ag the same lines as the
grand jury and will assist in every way
possible.
Meetings have been held throughout
the week by the committee of ten and
while no definite results are yet in
sight, the members believe that great
progress has been made.

RUFF STAR WITNESS
Prosecution Holding Him in Reserve
to Testify Against Schunitz

Abe Ruef is being held in reserve by
the prosecution as the star witness
against Mayor Schmitz in the pending
trial for extortion. Ruef's testimony
will complete the case against the
mayor and for that reason will not be
given to the jury until all the inter-
mediary points have been established
1t will be brought out through Ruef's
testimony that the mayor has been IN
conference with the police commission
ers unknown to Ruef and that the
boss became party to the transaction
after he had talked the matter over
with Schmitz
That the defense is apprehensive os
Ruefs testimony was revealed last
night, when c. III. Fairall, one of the
mayors attorneys, paid a visit to the
prison house in Fillmore street. Fairall
was formerly one of Ruef's attorneys
but their business relations ceased after
Ruef entered plea of guilty. The
visit of Fairall occasioned genral sur
prise, as it was not believed that the
defense would undertake anything SO
bold. Fairall was with Ruef for some
time. but nothing was vouchsafed in
regard to the interview.
Ruef did not care to discuss the
matter, but announced that he was alb
solutely unchanged in his determination
to tell the whole truth If called to the
witness stand.
No member of the prosecution could
be induced to discuss Fairall's action.
1t is understood that the mayors at
torney desired to learn If Ruef were
to go on the stand for the prosecution
and IL not whether his testimony could
be used for the defense.
The case against the mayor naturally
falls into five main divisions. 1t is not
necessary to prove that the mayor re-
ceived any money, but it must be
proved that he exerted the influence
that necessitated the payment of
money.
The first division of the case con-
sists of the pressure brought to bear
by the mayor on the police commission.
The second division concerns the action
OF the commission and the third the
action of the French restaurant pro-
prietors in raising a protection fund.
The fourth division of the case ends
with the payment of the money to
Ruef. With the introduction of some
additional testimony the prosecution
will have completed the four divisions
of the case.
One phase of the additional testimony
will consist of the proof of threat.
This can be shown circumstantiaIly.
and then but one feature will remain
to complete the chain. 1t will be neces
sary to show the connection between
Schmitz and Ruef, the man who exerted
the pressure and the man who received
the money. Ruef will be able to clear
this p0nt for the grand jury and If
necessary he will go further and state
that some of the French restaura nj
money found its way into the pockets
of the mayor.

Ninety-five Cents Per Bushel
Is Being Offered at This
Time for the Product of
Wayne County Farms.
is THE HIGHEST PRICE
PAID I'M EIGHT YEARS.
1t Is Not Believed the Price
Will Go Beyond This and
Much Unloading Is Expect
ed Before the Break.

| Not since the famous Letter wheat
speculation in Chicago, eight years
ago, has the price of wheat been as
high on the local markets as at the
present time, caused by the speculation
in the Chicago grain pit. Local mill
ers are now paying ninety-five cents
for wheat, but according to Charles j..
Carpenter. of the Richmond Roller
mills, the present quotations will hard
ly reach a much higher figure as the
conditions surrounding the present
wheat battle, are not like those which
surrounded the great Letter squeeze.
At that time there was a foreign or ex-
port demand for wheat far above the
81 figure, while at present the quota
lions have passed those offered by
foreign markets. 1t is for this reason
that Mr. Carpenter thinks the present
high prices cannot continue. At the
time of the great Letter squeeze in
Chicago. local millers paid S1.45 per
bushel for wheat, but there are no
chances for the same figure now.
Mr. Carpenter has been in the mill
ing business for thirty-two years, and
in that time he says the quotations on
wheat has increased over the S1.0u
mark. but six times. 1t has been due
to speculation in the big markets.
Wayne county farmers who are SO
fortunate as to hold several hundred
bushels of grain, are pleased, but are
waiting for still higher quotations on
the cereal Many of them have refus-
ed to SELL thinking that wheat would
go up. They are refusing to sell at
the present time. even though a fancy
figure is being paid. Many however,
will dispose of their holdings if the
market shows the first sign OF break
ing
