BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March so.-Two
sensational pieces of evidence in the
bribery graft investigation were ad-
duced before the grand jury today.
Three members of the executive board
of the Pacific States Telephone COM
pany-E. S. Pillsbury Homer S. King
and Timothy Hopkins-testifed that
they had no knowledge whatsoever of
the alleged bribing of supervisors to
vote against the award of competi-
tive franchise to the Home Telephone
company and that if bribery was com
mitted it was "up to" Vice President
Louis Glass, whom the grand jury al
ready has indicted on nine counts, to
explain.
Another member of the executive
board, Percy C. Morgan, made the same
denial of knowledge several days ago
when on the witness stand.
The second sensation came when L.
S. Pillsbury, who is director of the
Pacific States Telephone company, tes-
titled that Abraham Ruef the indicted
political boss, has been for more than
two years on the private pay roll of
that corporation and has been paid
regularly $1,000 a month. This, said
Pillsbury, was more than the salary
paid to himself.
When he discovered this, he testified.
he objected to the company and his
own remuneration was increased.
Witnesses Examined
The following witnesses were exam
ined by the grand jury today:
e. S. Pillsbury,. Timothy Hopkins and
Homer S. King; w. j. Kennedy, cashier
of the Pacific States Telephone COM
pany; John S. Cannon, janitor of the
Mills building, who was interrogated
as to his knowledge of the alleged pay
ment of supervisorial bribes by ]. v.
Halsey, in behalf of the Pacific States
company in a room of that building:
DR.. Fred Eaton and Miss Mary Ryan.
The latter was Halsey's stenographer
at the time of the alleged bribery and
is now employed in a stenographical
capacity by the Southern Pacific COM

Distance

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, March 3d.
Tonight the Southern Pacific lines
south are completely blocked. Coming
on top of the tie-up Of the coast road
is the third of series of small freight
wrecks on the Tehachapi mountain
near Caliente, which occurred early
this morning.
The wrecker was dispatched from
Kern, and while picking up one of the
derailed freight cars the wrecker itself
toppled over, making the blockade
complete.
There being no other wrecker on the
division, the longer method of building
a spur track around the wreck had to
be employed, and 1t will be after mid
night before this will be completed and
the trains again moving.
At Caliente five passenger trains are
stalled.
They include last nights Nos. 8 anC
10, and the morning trains from Lo
Angeles and the coast road.
In the local yards are last night:
Owl and tonight's No. s, and the even
ing and morning Santa Fe trains.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-General
Dioniso Gutierrez, one of the most
prominent leaders of the revolution in
Honduras against President Bonilla,
probably will be president of the pro-
Visional government established by
the Honduras revolutionists with the
aid of President Zelaya of Nicaragua.
A dispatch received today from Com
mander Winterhalter of the American
gunboat Paducah, now at Port Limon,
Costa Rica, states that it is reported
there that General Gutierrez is the
favorite candidate for the head Of the
new government in Honduras.
1t is also reported in Port Limon, ac-
cording to Commander Winterhalter'
dispatch, that President Bonilla is
completely surrounded. The dispatch
does not state exactly where President
Bonilla is, but it is believed that he is
somewhere near Amapala on the south
coast of Honduras.
Dispatches received by the state de-
partment from several different points
in Central America announce the bonn
harding of Amapala.

Every Hour
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 30.-Victory for
both Busse and Dunne is confidently
predicted by their respective managers
tonight.
James e. Reddick, manager Of the
Republican county committee, says:
"All the indications favor the election
of Fred A. Busse. The Republicans
have made a clean campaign and will
win. In my judgment the total vote
of the city will be in the neighborhood
of 345,00O. On that basis I estimate
the mayoralty vote will be divided as
follows:
"Busse, IT'S, 900; Dunno, 1000; Social
lists and Prohibitionists, 10000. This
would give Busse plurality of $4,000"
w. L. OConnell, chairman of the
Democratic central committee and the
manager of the Dunno campaign, says:
Mayor Dunno will be reelected by
from $4,000 to $4,000. We have been
gaining rapidly in the past week. May
or Dunno is strong because of the enc
mics he has made. All good Democrats
will rally to his support and he will
gain an immense independent vote"
Victory for the traction ordinances
passed recently by the city council
against the protest of Mayor Dunno
was predicted tonight by the leading
officials Of the several non-partisan or
ganizations that have been crusading
for the measure during the campaign.
Mayor Dunno vetoed the ordinances
because they did not provide for imme-
diate municipal ownership of the street
railways. Should the ordinances re-
ceive the approval Of the voters on
Tuesday the city will practically con-
troll the surface lines of the city, as
the measure provides for twenty-year
franchises with the city having the
privilege of purchasing the lines after
six months notice.
The ordinance also provides for the
immediate rehabilitation of the system
under the supervision of the city en-
gineer, universal transfers throughout
the city, books of the company open to
city officials and the city to receive So
per cent of the net earnings of the
lines.

KING MAY SAVE
MURDERER LIFE
Home Secretary, Mr.. Gladstone, Sug-
gests That Death Sentence Against
Horace G. Raynor Should
Be COMMITTED
Ry Associnted Press.

LONDON, March 30.-It was an
nounced today that as a result of the
popular agitation in favor of a re-
prieve for Horace G. Raynor, who on
January "a killed William Whitley, the
well-known merchant, the home secre-
tary, Mr.. Gladstone has advised the
king to commute the death sentence
to life imprisonment at penal servitude.
The king almost invariably acts upon
the home secretary's advice and there
fore Raynor's reprieVe may be re-
garded as an accomplished fact
The exercise of the royal influence
of mercy is probably due to the public
feeling against nursing a dying man
back to life only to reserve him for the
hangman's moose, together with the
sympathy for the prisoners wife, who
is about to be accouched.

"CUTICURA REMEDIES A

Last year. after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-

l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that We
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment. and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks We had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
In july Of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and armt
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticurs Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment. and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
