CULTIVATION
 OF FORD CASE
The Actual Trial May End
 Today
The Defense Promises a Surprise for the PrOsecu- tiOn This Morning.

San Francisco, Oct. 29-It is likely that the arguments of counsel in the Tirey l.. Ford bribery case will be be- gun tomorrow afternoon and possibly in the forenoon. Heney announced at the adjournment of the court today that he expects to close the case of the prosecution by Il o'clock in the morning. This means that Ruef will not be called as a witness in which event 1t may be forecasted with prac- tical certainty that the defense will not offer any evidence.
 The prosecution today placed on the stand a new and important witness in the person of Robert H. Peters, assist ant to William J. Burns. He testified that he shadowed Ruef to Ford's office in the car barns on the 23rd of August. 1906. the day on which Ford withdrew from the branch mint the last $lo0 600 of the s2O0,000 fund which it is alleged by the state was used to buy the pas sage of the trolley ordinance. Other new witnesses produced by Heney were the walters vino testified to see ing Ruef and Ford lunch together one day at the Cosmos club soon after the earthquake fire.
 Representatives of several San Fran cisco banks testified to the non depos' [ by the United Railroads by Calhoun. Mullaly. Ford or Abbott of the s20O00a in the issue. Adam M. Dahler. assist ant cashier of the railway corporation gave the defense an opportunity to ex- plode a surprise shell but though the fuse was lighted the bomb did not go off. being stayed until morning hy the ruling of Judge Lawler.
 The promise is that tomorrow the defense in the cross examination of Dahler will seek to prove by him that the S20O000 withdrawn from the mint was subsequently, sent to Brown Bros. & Co. New York. in matured bond coupons instead of being expended in briberies.

THE NATIONS
 RESOURCES
Never Showed to Better
 Advantage Than Now
They Have Established a Credit Abroad at a Criti- cal Moment.

New York, Oct. 29-The enormous influence which American exports are exerting in building up the credit bal ance abroad has been the most signal in the financial situation today. Reports from all quarters show that the great American staples of wheat, cotton. copper. tobacco. oil and meat are on the way to Europe, this being the season of the year when American products are marketed abroad The immediate effect of these shipments is to give the United States credit abroad which can be speedily converted into cash. These natural resources of the country promise to exert even a greater influence than the sale of American securities abroad.
 Foreign sales of a million pounds of copper yesterday were supplemented today by reports of similar heavy ex- ports. Today's shipments alone gave T foreign credit of $14.o00,OO0. Shipments of tobacco to Europe this year promise to break all records. Europe will pay over $100.OO0, 900 for this tobacco. Much of this money will soon be available in this market as contracts with the European importers call for immediate payment on delivery.
 Several favorable events marked the close of the financial day in New York. The enga cement of s2,000, 900 in gold by the First National Bank of Chicago and s5.0000OO by a Boston bank brought the total gold engage ments close to s20.000.O 900. While money at the stock exchange was loaning most of the day at high rates 1t fell near the close to six per cent offers of several million dollars at that rate being made by number of lead ing banks. Comparative calm reigned New York bankers. They all realized that the pressure for money was not over. but they felt generally that the unreasoning panic was at an end and that they would be able to meet all reasonable demands for cur rency. The general refusal to pay cash for boarding in the west and south as well as New. York it is be- lieved. will prevent the undue absorp- ticn of currency and permit the em- ployment of what is available in the most effective manner.
 Runs upon banks are practically over. The arrival of nearly $2O. .000, 900 in gold it Is believed will considerably relieve the situation and perhaps make call money a little lower on the ex- change. Aside from New Works con- dtion. all points showed a conserva- tive tendency. In New England there is no sign of serious unrest and the recent disturbance in Rhode Island is over. No failure is record ed at any point throughout the coun- try. On the whole. the banking com takes favorable view of the outlook and is practically encouraged in large foreign credits. secured through the enormous shipments of American products.

4 RADIUM MINE.
A Deposit of the Metal Discovered in
 the Alps.

Geneva, Oct. 29.-A radium mine has been discovered in the Alps by Prof. Joly. a noted geologist. He de- clares that there is a rich deposit of radium in that part of the Alps through which the Simplon tunnel runs. and that stones collected during the excavation of the tunnel reveal richer traces of the precious stuff than are known anywhere else in Europe. He also says that the cause of the abnormal heat experienced by the men excavating the tunnel was the large deposit of radium in that region.

The Chief Executive of Lincoln, Neb.,
 To Listen to Foolish Complaints.

Lincoln. Oct. 29.-In reply to a per emptory demand of the Japanese con- son for the isolation of Japanese la horers afflicted with beri beri, Mayor F. w. Brown today stated that he had no time to listen to such complaints. He insisted that if the laborers left quarantine at Ava without permission they would be isolated in an empty box car on a side track in Lincoln. un- til there was no danger of communi- eating the disease to other men of their race. The mayor told the consul that he did not understand the situa- ton here or he would not make such a demand.

 In an address last night she referred to America as "the most urdemocratic and most 'snobfulled' country in the world" and started out to play the rulers of the various countries with the exception of King Edward,> who escaped her criticism. The address on the whole was not very bloodthirsty or inflammatory and did not satisfy the anarchists among the audience. Of the kaiser she said that some people say he is not right in his head" and President Roosevelt was referred to as "our dear Teddy. who has about as much sense as his prototype in Ger many" Andrew Carnegie was put down as "a man who gives his work men books but no time to read them"

One is at Home and the Other is In
 Far Off India
The Alarming Growth of Socialism England and the Increasing Purpose In the Eastern Empire to Over throw British Rule.

London, Oct. 29.-Two very serious problems are facing Great Britain to- day. how to check the growth of so- cialism at home and how to prevent sedition from spreading among the na- tives of India. ~
 The bishops and archbishops of the Episcopal church are greately alarmed at the growth of socialistic ideas and the question of what the church is to do, has been seriously discussed.
 In a recent speech on socialism at the church congress at Yarmouth the Bishop of Stepney said:
 We see the tide of a great move ment, which, whether We like it or not. is going to be the master current of the life of the people of England in the twentieth century There is an abundance of luxury. but there Is ap- palling abundance of poverty. The nineteenth century forgot that it is not enough to produce wealth lavishly. it is important how it is disturbed. A reaction was bound to come. and some of us welcome it. The nineteenth cen tury was the period of individualism and competition. The twentieth cen tury will take its place as the era of socialism and cooperation.
 What is to be the attitude of the church? It cannot be one of mere opposition. The question is not whether we can arrest it. but whether the influence of Christ can lead and guide it; whether it can be made a movement which will come gradually and fruitfully, or suddenly and dan gerously. whether it will be a move ment of peace or of violence, of jus tice or injustice"
 The church, he added. could belong to no party. They might sympathize

with the labor movement. but they must remind il that labor has its du- ties as well as it's rights.
 The seditious movement among the natives of India is giving the govern are unable to find means to cheek it.
 The leaders of the uprising are making the most of the fact that MT. Keir Hardi, a member of the British Parliament during his recent visit ot India, openly declared himself in sympathy with the movement which purposes to overthrow British rule in that country.
 The rebels make no secret of their desires and the whole country is flood ed with seditiOus pamphlets and new papers in which the British rule Is de- nounced. one native paper which has a circulation of more than 1O0.0ee. wrote the other day:
 We want complete independence. India cannot prosper So long as the yer jest shade of the Feringhi's foreign er's) supremacy over it is left. Fie on the idea that the F'eringhis are to re- main our masters forever. A stranger has entered into our home He must be put out or kept only as a servant Or a guest. This is the aim of the new party"
 The object of the seditiOn-mongers is to drive the English out of India. and instead of British rule to set up the old oppressive social system of the native rulers, which is cheifly made up of class distinctions. degrading su- perstitions and objectionable forms of polygamy. This is the movement to (which Mir. Kier Hardie has lent to the authority of the labor party in Great Britain.

Lunenburg, n. s., Dec. 2.-Early this
morning the 6.OOO-ton steamship Mont
Temple, Of the Canadian Pacific, Ant
werp-St. John service, crashed upon the
ledges that surround Ironbouud Island,
Is miles from here.
On board were about six hundred pas
sengers, mostly immigrants. and there
was a wild panic when the steamer hit
the rocks. The sea was not very rough.
and. so far as can be learned, every one
viii be saved before morning. as several
tugs and other vessels began taking the
people of late in the afternoon. The
ship will undoubtedly be total loss.
Ran Into SnowstOrm.
The ship left Antwerp November 20 and
had a rough voyage across che Atlantic.
Last night she ran into a thick snow
storm. which prevailed until after day
break. and it was impossible for the Off
GERS to see very far ahead. The Mont
Temple evidently had gone of her course,
as Ironbound Island is about thirty miles
farther west than the ship should have
run. Suddenly the roar Of breakers was
heard ahead by the lookout. and. al
though the engines were quickly reversed.
the dead weight OF the ship carried her
into the rocks.
Passengers Become Calm.
In a second she was pounding heavily,
and finally was driven Into narrow
cleft in the rocks with seas breaking half
over her. The immigrants poured out on
deck. Many Of the women. some with
children in their arms. fell on their knees
and prayed for help.
The officers and crew did their best to
quiet the teTor-stricken people, and
gradually, when it was seen that the
vessel was not sinking. the foreigners
became calmed.
