No Damage at Berkeley.

San Francisco, June 1Z-Referring to
the alleged attack on a japanese horti-
culturist at Berkeley, Thomas C. Wal
ker. representing the japanese Associ-
alton of America, states that it was
trivial affair. Some boys had thrown
a few stones at a greenhouse belonging
to a japanese, but the damage was
slight, and the association would take
no action in regard to the incident
leaving the local authorities to deal
with the offenders.

ground that the former was not properly

ton no such matters had been preached
to the mayor. Judge Dunno decided that
the pertinency of the question could not
be doubted.
The opening address for the prosecu-
ton by Hiram ". Johnson, son of former
Congressman Grove l.. johnson, and one
of the foremost criminal lawyers of the
state, occupied one hour and fifteen min
utes. 1t was mastery in argument and
i'm eloquence. Mr. Johnson avoided any
thing like an attempted resume of the
evidence in all it's voluminous detail. He
selected rather the main peaks and steer
ing by them endeavored to pilot the jury
over d short course to conviction.

To Jury Today.

Mr.. johnson was followed by J. J. Bar
rett who spoke for two hours and one
half in behalf of the defense, making
much of the argument that had the court
permitted Ruef to eell the whole story he
would have testified that the restaurant
men came to Ruef and besought mis- SerV-
ices as an attorney. and that no threat
was made to or held over them that they
would lose their licenses if they did not
pay him money, and that RuefS cOnten-
ton would have been that he did not eX-
ercise any control over the license board.
Barrett told the jury that under the tes-
timony adduced the most that might be
proved was that money was eXtorted by
Ruef from the French restaurant men by
threat to close the bedrooms on their up
per floors
THE Indictment. commented the may
or's attorney. charges this defendant
with eXtOrting this money by threat to
take away their licenses to sell liquor.
You cannot. gentlemen, accuse a defend
ant of one crime and convict him Of an
other Remember that"
When Barrett concluded the court adj
journed for the day.
The closing arguments will be made to-
morrow and the case will probably reach
the jury before night.

five minutes Mr.. Barrett was speaking.
the mayor was either giancing over news
papers CT buried deep in typewritten

prosecutors address escaped his sensitive
ears.
Ruef was of course the sensation of the
day. To hear him do one of two things.

WHITE NACKINE1Y II
GOOD ro1 NEVADA

The marvellous and rapid develop
ment of the great Nevada mining dis
tricts has created al unprecedented de-
mand for all kinds of mining machin-
cry and especially for hoists operated
by gasoline engines, as fuel and water
for steam generation are extremely ex-
pensive and difficult to obtain in most
of the mining localities.
The gasoline engine has been so tho
roughly perfected that no one questions
the reliable and efficient operation of
any of the standard makes, and it only
remains to select the best combination
of engine and hoist.
When the Nevada mines first began
to call for gasoline hoists many manu-
faceurers were not prepared to meet
the demand and some of them hastily
made up outfits hat did not in all cases
meet the requirements. They were
crude, not too well made, and many
were far from satisfactory.

Prof. j. E. Bray. member Of the fac
ulty of the state university at Reno,
spent several days in Goldfeld this
week, visiting the schools and confer
ring with the board of education. Prof.
Bray says Goldfeld has laid the founda-
ton for an excellent school system.
The preparatory work is good and by
the beginning of the next school year.
the foundation will be laid for a full
high school course. By that time Prof.
Bray says, there will be a class OF
thirty pupils qualified for the high
school course. This number may be In
creased by the coming of additional
families with children.
Prof. Bray was much impressed by
the earnestness and evident ability OF
the teaching force in the Goldfeld
schools, as well as with the broad
minded policy of the members OF the
board Of education.

GOLDFIELD SCHOOLS

Il did not come here as a critic"
said the professor, but to advise the
school authorities and the teachers In
any way that / could. The members
of the board appear to be anxious to do
everything in their power to give the
children all the benefits of a public
school education as good as a be OBJ
tanned in the larger cities. and they
are succeeding. The teaching force is
excellent n I am glad to note that
the teachers are selected for their abil-
ity alone. no preference being shown
and no appointments made simply be-
cause the applicant is a resident of the
city,"
Prof. Bray left for Tuscarora last
Tuesday. After visiting the school in
Lincoln county h will return to Reno
and make his report to the university
authorities, having completed his tour

The location includes the site of the
