travelling Preachers.

Four strangely costumel people,
two men and two women, calling
themselves Israelites of the House Of
David. with headquarters at Benton
Harbor, Mich, were in the city yes
terday evening, and preached their
peculiar doctrine to a good sized
crowd at the corner of Main and
Market streets.
They travel in a large wagon built
for such trips, hold meetings on the
streets, in churches, halls and other
public places wherever they can find
hearers. The picturesque character
of the people attract the attention of
the crowd. The men wore long hair
and boards, and their hirsute adorn'
ments looked as though they had not
been trimmed in years. The Israelltes
claim to stand between the Jew and
the Gentle, and interpret their creed
One of the speakers quoted Scripture
at will and recited passage after pas
sage with ease and accuracy. The
.qelites do not expect the destruc'
ton of the world in the sense Of de-
stroying the planets, but look forward
to the actual reign of the Kingdom
of Heaven on earth. They do not
take up collection, but pass out
small pamphlets at the purchasers

from place TO place, working wnere
he could until 1905, when he once
more came back to Denver. On his
way, at Pueblo, he met Orchard and
Vaughan. Orchard told him he had
been selling life and hail insurance
and had been making lots Of money.
Easterly said that In Colorado he
once heard Orchard declare that he
had lost his interest in a valuable
mine through Steunenberg and would
get him.
Senator Borah here took up the
cross-examination of the witness.
Easterly said he was in Colorado
during the Steunenberg troubles in
the Occur d'Alenes and as member
of the union he contributed to the
support of the Idaho miners. He also
felt with others that Governor Steun-
enberg was trying to break up the
union. Orchards threat against the
governor after so many years I'M
pressed him, Easterly said, but he did
not really know il the man intended
to carry it out.
C. A. Collins of Leadville, Colo,
brakeman on the Colorado Midland
railroad, was next called to the stand.
He lived 125 feet from the Independ-
ence depot on the night of the explo-
sion and said that the depot was aban-
doned before and after the explosion.

TISSUE OF LIES, SAYS TAFT
Secretary Denies Stories Re-
garding Canal Affairs.

Washington, June 29.-"It is tissue
OF falsehood," said Secretary Taft
when his attention was called to the
reports OF dissatisfaction on the part
Of the administration of the manage
ment of affairs under the isthmian ca
nal commission and the intention OF
the officials engaged In that work to
reliIquish it and return to the United
States. The secretary was very EN-
phatic In his declaration that he had
not received a single communication
from Colonel Goethals showing in any
way that he was dissatisfied or de
sired to end his connection with the
work
mo immediate change is contem
plated in the administration OF affairs
on the isthmus," continued the secre
tary. "and there has not been single
kick of any sort. There is no truth In
the story of the army officers asking
for leaves of absence to return to the
United States"

NEW JAPANESE GRIEVANCE
Refused Privilege of Removing Intel.
Iioence Office Permits.

San Francisco, June 29.-The board
of police commissioners has denied
the application of five Japanese for the
privilege of renewing their permits to
keep intelligence Offices in this city
and refused two Japanese applicants
who desired to obtain new permits for
the same business on the ground that
the applicants were not citizens of the
United States and that heretofore the
policy of the board had been always
to give the preference In these priv
ileges to citizens against those who
are not and cannot become citizens.
1t had been urged on behalf of the
petitioners that they were entitled to
the privilege by virtue of the provi-
siors of the treaty, but the police COM
mission contends that If such right
does exist it is still subject to laws en-
acted under the general police powers
of the state concerning police and
sanitary regulations. A refusal to
grant such permits is not, according
to the construction of the board, a
violation of the right to trade.
President Hagerty, In giving the de-
cision of the board, said that 1t was
the policy of the board to grant such
permits only to citizens of the United
States and not to citizens Of foreign
countries and he further suggested
that the refusal to grant these per-
mits would open the way for deter
mination In court of the extent OF the
rights of Japanese in this respect un-
der the treaty between the United
States and Japan, should the appli-
cants desire to take the matter into
the courtS

Sentencing of Ruef Is
Postponed by Request
Case Continued for Two Weeks
on Petition of Prosecutor

Accompanied by Elisor Biggy and
three attorneys, Abe Ruef appeared In
Judge Dunne's court yesterday morn
ing, but did not stay long. 1t was the
time set for passing sentence on the
charge of extortion to which Ruef
pleaded guilty. With the prisoner were
Attorneys George B. Keane, w. T.
Hume and Richard O'Connor.
Abraham Ruef for sentence" called
Judge Dunno.
Abe was not asked to stand up. for
District Attorney Langdon arose and
asked that the passing of sentence go
over two weeks.
rs there an objection to the re-
quest?" asked Judge Dunno, turning TO
Attorney Keane.
NO objection" answered Keane.
Thereupon a continuance to July 10
was ordered.
Four other cases IN which Ruef is
charged with having extorted money
from keepers of French restaurants
went over by consent to the same date.
This closed the proceedings for the day.
Ruef held a brief conference with his
attorneys, after which he was taken
back to the white prison in Fillmore
street
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-27


tence for two weeks, intending by this
delay to give the defense ample time
to prepare its bill of exceptions. When
court is called this morning in the
Bush street temple the attorneys for
Schmitz can ask for an arrest of
judgment, file their bill of exceptions
and ask for a new trial. According to
statements made yesterday by attor-
neys for the defense they will not press
upon the judge a request for an ar
rest of judgment, but will simply take
their appeal after sentence has been
imposed. Following the appeal will
come a new petition for bail.
The application for new trial will
be based chiefly upon the contentious
that Judge Dunno was biased against
the defendant and that the court erred
in allowing the cross examination of
Schmitz to include the question con-
cerning his receipt of a share of the
French restaurant fund from Ruef. 1t
will be recalled that Schmitz, when
on the witness stand, disregarding the
advice of his attorneys, denied that
he had received any share of the res
taurant protection fund This denial on
the part of Schmitz laid the foundation
for the introduction in rebuttal of the
testimony of Ruef. who swore that he
had given Schmitz $2,5o0, or one half
of the fee"
Assistant District Attorney Heney,
for the prosecution, argued that the
question put to Schmitz, to which the
defendants attorneys objected, was ad-
raissible as tending to show the in
tent of SchmitZ when he ordered
Thomas Reagan to hold up the French
restaurant licenses The court sus-
tained the prosecution.
After sentence has been passed upon
Schmitz the prosecution Will feel free
to go ahead with the reorganization of
the city government Convinced that
the conviction of Schmitz automatically
removes him from the office of mayor,
the prosecution will pay small heed to
