sion as complete and satisfactory,
however, Burns refused to answer.
THE plan to make Ruef out as
the star eXtortionist of the municipal
administration and hold him alone
responsible for all this bribery, will
not work, was Burns only comment
on the matter yesterday.
Suef Endeavors to Bear Up.
Ruef Is still much depressed but is
endeavoring TO Bear up With an air of
cheerfulness in the face of the des-
perate situation which confronts him.
He says that TO all except the grand
jury and the graft prosecution his
lips are sealed, and refuses to discuss
the details of his confession. Burns
is still a constant visitor at his quar-
ters, and Ruef is being asked to sup
plement those confessions he has al
ready made with others, under the
belief that he still has much in re-
serve.
Biggy's prisoner is suffering, obvi-
ously, under the strain of continual
cross examination. He seems to fully
realize that he is doomed, and that
even additional confessions are not
going to save him from a felons cell.
The fighting spirit in him is almost
exhausted, and the disappointment
which has attended the result of his
unbosoming shows plainly. He is
W dltneu every minute Ol the night
and day by his guards and, although
his prison is a giIded cage, there Is
little doubt that he loathes it.
Yesterday Ruef was taken out for
a walk by Elisor Biggy and a guard.
His only other recreation was a
phonograph concert
81 cannot talk for publication"
said Ruef. when asked to make
statement i'm connection with the re-
cent indictments, "for l am bound to
silence by the grand jury. When the
graft'investigation was first announc-
ed l gave an interview to the Chron-
icle, in which / said that 1 never
asked for a fee of even 81 from any
one for my political influence, and 1
can truthfully repeat that statement
now"
He tried TO appear himself when
brought before Dunno today but fail
ed miserably. His spirit is broken.
the indomitable Abe Ruef of two
months ago is a very much changed
man today.

House of Justice Day Is Closely
Gudrded--Three Suspects Are
Arrested -Rumor That Mich

Canton False.

Canton, Ohio, May 29.--Intense ex-
element reigns in Canton today as
a result OF the story started last night
to the effect that an attempt would
be made to assassinate President
Roosevelt, who is here to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Mckinley.
The city is crowded with visitors,
which makes more difficult the work
of the police and detectives, many of
whom are here from Washington.
All suspicious characters are being
shadowed and arrests are expected
The home of Justice Day, where the
president is stopping while in the
city, is closely watched by uniformed
officers as we'll as plain clothes men.
The arrival of the president was
closely guarded and the change from
the train to a private carriage was
made through lines of detectives and
special officers. The president him
self, however, takes the matter more
coolly than do his subordinates, con-
sisting of the cabinet officers.
The crucial period will be reached
at the time of the funeral. The an
archists, 1t is said, have planned ever
since it was known that Mrs. McKin-
ley was going TO die to make the fun
eral the event of the assassination of
the president, and the presence of
strangers in Canton, many of whom
are thought to be members of the
American society, is causing grave
feelings of unrest.
Crowds Continue to Arrive.
During last night and this morning
people from various parts of the
country continued to arrive to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Mckinley.
A rumor, apparently originating at
Cleveland, that Michael Czolgosz, n
brother of the assassin of President
Mckinley, was in Canton is discred-
tied by the police.
The police are on the alert, how
ever, and will take every precaution
in safeguarding President Roosevelt.
Strange Man Prowls Around Home of
Justice Day.
1t was learned today that yester-
day afternoon Justice Day notified the
police that a strange man had been
prowling about his residence, and
last night someone telephoned In
spector sutton that Michael Czolgosz
was in Canton.
This information, it is said, came

Kentucky Distillers To Form An
Association.

straight whisky had determined to
sever all interests with dealers in recti-
fed whisky and that they would form
an association to be known as the Ken
lucky Pure Food Distiller's Associa-
ton for the conservation wholly of the
straight whisky interests of Kentucky.
AS soon as the ew association is or
ganized, which will be within the next
thirty days. the distillers who now are
affiliated with the Kentucky Distiller's s
Association will withdraw from mem
