 OF ABE RUFF
May Secure Freedom for
 the Former Boss
The Prosecution May Grant Him Immunity In EX- change for Evidence.

San Francisco. Dec. 12.-From a statement made by Heney it is believ- ed that the prosecution is contemplat- ing granting Ruef immunity in order to successfully prosecute the bribery graft cases by getting the former boss between Supervisor Gallagher and the public service corporations who through Ruef are alleged to have done the bribing. The acquittal of Ford and the reason assigned bv the jury. that there was a link missing in the evidence has forced the prosecution to recognize the importance of Ruefs testimony.
 The latter it is said, has held out for fun immunity which Heney refused to grant While not saying that Ruefs demand for immunity would be grant, ed, Hene- said today: Two juries have declared Ruefs testimony neces- sary to return d verdict Of guilty. and that without IL the evidence is not complete enough to convince. Public opinion seems to demand that Ruefshall testify, even ,: he has to be granted immunity. r. the public wants it. it may be necessary to put Ruef on the stand or those terms"
 Will you grant his demand for full immunity and place Ruef on the stand at the trial of Calhoun" Heney was asked.
 "I am not saying what l will do. am playing poker was the character istic reply
 Prosecutor Hene- is forcing others to play poker" was Ruefs reply when asked if the prosecution had made made overtures to him ~to testify against Calhoun.

Goldfield, Nev. Dec. 12.-The first day of the attempt to reopen the mines of the Goldfield district without the aid of the Western Federation miners has passed There has been not a single instance of attempted violence or dis order. The unar1ned pickets of the miners union have approached as close to the scene of operations as the armed guards Of the mine owners association would permit. and have succeeded in inducing some of those who signed the agreement to violate the agreement and leave the mines.
 General Funston arrived at noon and his coming seems to have helped the situation and greatly to have strength ened the constantly growing impress sion that the fearful incidents of other camps will not be repeated here.
 Ii was stated tonight that the leaders of the strike have secured what evil dence they want, to prosecute some of the mining operators under the state statute which makes it a crime pun ishable by fine and Imprisonment to require any employe to promise or agree not to become a member or to remain a member of any labor organ izatiOn. Arrests may be expected at any time. it is said by some. while others characterize the whole report of probable arrests as a bluff.
 After a conference with President MacKinnon. which was the last of series of conferences which General Funston has been holding since his arrival. Governor Sparks. Col. Reynolds Acting President DOwlen. and Secre- taTy Erb Of the Mine Owners AssOcia- tiou and others were called into a con- ference. General Funston wasted no time in acquainting himself with an outline et lasst. O: conditions.
 While he refused to say what was contained in his report. he said it con- tained nothing in regard to the prob able length of stay Of the troops. but is confined to the needs for them at the crescent time.
 The regulars will be here at least until the arrival of the commissioners from Washington" said General Fun ston. This mears that the.- will be here another week. It must be under stood that I am not here to go into the merits of the dispute between the mine owners and the miners. That is V HdI Ire CoiIlilllSsloneTs are com Ing for They doubtless will go deeply into the merits of the grievances of both sides, but I am simply going to deter mine whether the continued presence of troops, or a part of them is neces- sary to prevent disorder. riot and bloodshed. ! am convinced that the presence Of the troops thus far has been a necessary precaution.

There Was No Time When Port Arthur Gould Not Have Been Taken by Assault
The Former COmmander-In-Chief Says That the Great Mistake Was In SuppOsing the Russian Fleet to Be Invncibe.

St. Petersburg. Dec. 12.-General Kuropatkin, testified today at the courtmartial of General Stoessel and other army officers charged with need lessly surrendering Port Arthur ito the Japanese, that the Japanese could have taken Port Arthur by assault in the early days of the war, as the defenses were then incomplete. On the whole. Kuropatkins evidence was favorable to Stoessel.
 The conduct of General Fock. who is charged with the responsibility for the defeat at Nan Chang subsequent to the retirement upon Port Arthur was re- viewed by court. The evidence of Ku- ropatkin was helpful to this officer as well Kuropatkin declined to answer several questions on the grounds that it would make known military secrets but he did say that the whole plan of the war was based upon the sup

posed invincibility of Russian fleet and that the original scheme for the de- fense of Port Arthur could not be car ried out successfully after the squadron had been crippled by the 'treacherOus opening attack of the Japanese.
 According to the indictment Fock's retreat from Nan Chang jeOpardized the fortress. but Stoessel produced or ders from Kuropatkin and VicerOy Ale$ieff justifying FOcks's retirement and he obtained an armissiOn from Kuropatkin that the position was un- tenable without the assistance of the fleet. The name of Alexieff who has declined to appear as a witness was mentioned continually today in an un- favorable light and a ripple of merri- ment was provoked by phrase in one of his orders saying "the chief task of Fock is to retreat at the proper time"
