traffic congestion in the west. The
railroads are cramped for terminal

passenger traffic congestion often,
ensue.

that in order TO get cars to til"

CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY
! APPEALS TO PRESIDENT
Morgan Tells Roosevelt
That the Corporations
Fear Him
CONFERENCE ASKED
At His Request Executive
Agrees to Treat With
Railroad Men
CONFERENCE ASKED

WASHINGTON, March Ill. Pier
pont Morgan of New York was in con-
ference with President Roosevelt for
two hours today. The hnancier came
here at the request of certain busi-
ness men of New York to discuss the
business situation, particularly as af-
fecting the railroads. He asked the
President to grant an interview to four
railroad presidents, which request was
granted.
The object of Morgan's visit was to
urge the President to take some action
to allay the public anxiety now threat
ening to obstruct railroad investments
and construction Morgan pointed out
to the President that the financial In
terests of the country were greatly
alarmed at the attitude Of the admin
istration toward corporations, espe-
cially the railroads.
At Morgan earnest request the Pres
ident has agreed to have a conference
with four leading railroad presidents
McCrea of the Pennsylvania, Newman
of the New York Central. Mellen of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
and Hughitt of the Chicago and North
western-to determine If some agree
ment can be reached as to the relations
between the railroads and the admin
istration. 1t is probable that E. H.
Hartman, head of the Hartman lines,
also will participate in the conference,
which, it is understood, will take place
at the White House some time during
the latter part of this week.

SACRAMENTO, March Ii The
Broughton bill, establishing a uniform
law for the creation of new counties,
passed the Assembly today by vote
of so to Is. AS amended the bill pro-
vides that no old county can be left
with less than $4,000 population and
1900 square miles OF territory. New
counties must have a population of
5000 and the county line must not run
nearer than five miles of the old county
seat. Every new county shall be re-
sponsible for Its proportion of the
debts of the old county.
In addition to this, petition for
division must be signed by so per cent
of the voters of the proposed new
county and the plan must receive the
approval of 65 per cent before a new
county can be established.
These conditions are satisfactory to
the San Diegans, who want to estab-
lish Imperial County, but make it prac-
tically impossible for Henry Miller and
his Gilroy supporters to carry out
their cherished desire of dividing Santa
Clara County and creating the county
of Miller.

OAKLAND HARB0R BOARD
BILL DIES QUIET DEATH
Mott and McElroy Refuse to
Give Support to the
Measure
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET

SACRAMENTO, March 1.-The Oak
land Harbor Commission bill died
quietly tonight, when Jere Burke Of
the Southern Pacific passed round the
word that the Jig was UP.
Arrangements for an unostentatious
funeral were made shortly before the
night session. A conference was held
at the Capital Hotel between Mayor
Mott of Oakland. City Attorney McEl-
roy. Assemblyman Phil Walsh and Jere
Burke. Efforts TO bring Mott and Nc
Elroy TO the support of the bill had
been in progress all day without result
and Burke. not daring to force the
measure through, for fear of retalia-
tory action by the city OF Oakland,
made il plain that no rush orders
would be issued.
After the conference had ended, rail-
road retainers and insurgents were in
formed that the Southern Pacific
would not press the bill, but would
consent TO leave the question open until
the next session OF the Legislature.
The Western Pacific also ceased its ef-
forts, and the bill died on the files.
Mayors Mott said tonight that the legal
department Of Oakland would prepare
q carefully drawn bill OF a more COM
prehensive nature for presentation TO
the next Legislature and that mean
while the people would attempt to
enjoy control OF the water front given
back to them by the Federal Court.

Ruef Lawyers Accused
by Dunno of Deceit
Defendant to Apply to United States
Supreme Court as Last Resort

that as the question of the qualifica-
tions Of Juror Wise was matter on
which the Supreme Court of the United
States was to decide, he would not pass
upon that point Then, at the con-
clusion of Ach's fash OF eloquence,
bench ruled as follows:
NO WRIT FOR RUFF
The granting OF a writ OF habeas
corpus is not an absolute right-at
least the Supreme Court of the United
States has decided. The Circuit or Dis
trict courts are not to interfere by
granting a writ with the proceedings
Of the State courts prior to the utter
ances OF judgment, unless the petition
er is held for an act authorized by the
statutes Of the United States, or in
violation of a right Of treaty. In this
case what is complained OF is an act
Of the Superior Court of the city and
county OF San Francisco made subse-
Quent to the denial of the writ OF
habeas corpus and the allowance Of a
writ OF error and admission to bail.
II is not necessary for this court to
exercise its power for the purpose Of
protecting the Jurisdiction OF the Unit
ed states Supreme Court that court
is qualified to protect it's own juris-
diction. That is the court where this
matter shall be settled. The order to
show cause is discharged"
Murphy had new petition ready
asking for an appeal. This was
promptly denied by the court, who sug-
gested that Ruef had the possible
remedy OF applying to the Circuit Court
or the United States Court The lat
ter alternative is TO be selected by the
Ruefsters, probably because Of the dis
tance Of the tribunal from this city.
To Washington the writ Of error will
be carried.
Ruef left the Federal courtroom with
the elisor by his side and spent the
night in his pretty little dungeon at
the Hotel St. Francis.
