TO EXPLAIN PAYMENT
MADE TO ABE RUFF
He Will Contend That Money Was
Paid as an Attorneys Fee and
That There Was Nothing
Improper in the
Transaction.

San Francisco. Sept. 25.-In ac-
cordance with the general plan un-
der which TREY l.. Ford is likely to
take the stand in his own behalf to
clear himself of the charge of brib-
cry hanging over him, Patrick Cal
houn, it is now said, will surely take
the stand in an effort to convince the
jury that all which the attorney for
the United Railroads did was JUS
titled and without the taint of brib-
cry.
The word that Calhoun will take
the stand does not come, of course,
directly from the array of counsel
which surrounds the United Rail-
roads men at this memorable time,
but ii does come from a source near
to them--in fact, from a snrewd OBJ
server, who, although not an attor-
ney is closely connected with the
cases.
A Bold Move.
If 1t is true that Calhoun is to
the policy that the defense has evil
IDENTIFY adopted-a bold, "go-to-it"
game, with frankness and palpable
openness sticking out at every turn.
1t has been argued that this Is the
best possible plan for the accused
men to take; that the jury will be
most impressed with such tactics,
convinced to the Calhoun side to
bring at least a disagreement, and
perhaps an acquittal.
1t was said several days ago that
the defense would admit the pay
ment of the money in question to
nothing wrong in it. Then, of course,
the task of the defense would be to
show to the satisfaction of the jury
that the size of the sum paid was
nothing remarkable-that it was
such a sum as might have been paid
to any attorney for an important
task.
OF course there will be risk in
such defense. but it is in line with
the attitude that Calhoun and his at
torneys, might be expected to take.
Calhoun, with all his willingness to
submit the whole case to his attor-
neys, is a man of dash, and he is
with the spirit of dash and boldness
that is supposed to have appealed
most to him.
While the air ds full of rumors as
TO the intentions of the defense, the
graft prosecution is taking no long
| chances with Abe Ruef. Heney and
his associates are said to have come
to the conclusion that the defense is
practically sure to cross examine
| Ruef i'm searching way, instead OF
dropping him like a hot potato at
| the crucial moment as Campbell, the
attorney for Schmitz. did. Ruef in
timated at the trial of the mayor
| that his testimony would not be very
| hard against SchmitZ, but Schmtz' S
| attorney took no chances with that
| lead, II II was a lead, evidently fear
| ing 1t might be a trap from which
he could not climb without getting
nipped.
Calhoun's attorneys, It Is prophe-
Fsied will gladly take the opportunity
| of going into a searching cross-ex'
animation of Ruef With this In
view, the prosecution is taking every
| possible care to keep Ruef free from
any influences that might damage his
value to that side of the case.

The landing of hordes of Asiatlcs

ALTON IMMUNITY WILL

Clover Leaf Ready to Take IL

Discussion.

Chicago, H., Sept 25.-The Inter-
Ocean today says that the granting
of immunity to the Chicago & Alton
railroad for paying rebates to the
standard oil company removes the
only obstacle to the ratification Of
the sale by the Rock Island railroad
OF a controlling interest in the Alton

consolidation ultimately Of the AL
ton, Glover Leaf, Minneapolis and
ST. Louis and the Iowa Central rail-
roads.
The deal for the c. & 4. was made
some time since by the Glover Leaf
but there were certain restrictions
which the officials OF the latter road
insisted must be compiled with be-
fore the road would accept the AL
ton. The principal one OF these con-
ditious was that the immunity alleg-
ed 10 have been granted the road I'm
the standard case. be made certain,
as the Glover Leaf did not care 20
buy a law suit Now that this con-
dtion has been met, there Is no
doubt that the proposed sale and
later combination will take place.

PROSECUTION HARDLY
EXPECTS CONVICTION
Popularity of Senator and His
Bold Denial of Charges Against
Him Lead to General
Belief In His In
nOCenCe.

Boise Idaho, Sept 25.-The gov
ernment today began che introduce
ton of testimony in support of the
charge that United States Senator
william f. Borah, in conspiracy with
twelve other persons. defrauded the
hundred and eight timber tracts of
100 acres each in central Idaho.
Much of this testimony, it is declar-
ed, will be documentary. Other
phases OF it will come from men who
will confess that they swore falsely
in taking out timber claims.
Papers Read to Jury.
The entire morning session of the
court was taken up with the intro
duction in evidence of thirty-one sets
of alleged fraudulent papers filed in
the land office by dummy entry
men, who afterwards turned these
claims over to the Barber Lumber
company. S. r. Rush, of Omaha,
special assistant to the attorney gen.
eral of the United States, has charge
of the Introduction of this testimony
and he read some of the papers to
the jury.
Conviction Not Expected.
The prominence and popularity of
| Senator Borah crops out at every
stage of the proceedings, and ii is
| generally believed that 1t will be i'm
possible to secure conviction
| though the general impression l.
that the senator is not guilty. The
announcement of the prosecution
that 1t only contends that the Of
| fense is a misdemeanor, and is not
trying to convict him of felony, has
| had considerable effect toward max
| ing the people of Idaho certain oi
his innocence. If he is guilty of the
crime of conspiracy, they declare
that the government would prose
cute for felony and not in a hall
hearted way for a misdemeanor only
Attorneys for the government, how
ever, hold that the offense charged
against the distinguished Idahoan Is
| only a misdemeanor and could be
no greater.
Struggle Expected.
When the evidence at hand is al
read to the jury, it is believed thai
the real struggle will begin. The de-
fense is not objecting very seriously
to the written evidence, but it vii
fight much of the oral evidence tC
be offered There are a number o.
witnesses subpoenaed and it is be
lieved that the trial will be Ions
drawn out, lasting probably Owe
l,another week.

Oyster Bay. l.. l.. Sept. 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt began the journey to
Washington at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, ending his summer vacation
which commenced on June II. The
trip from Jersey City was made in

dent will make his western trip, on
which he will start next Sunday.
Mrs. Roosevelt Miss Ethel and
Quentin accompanied the president.
The leave taking at oyster Bay was
ed at the station and many shook
the presidents hand. He heartily
expressed his pleasure at seeing his
neighbors.
President is Busy.
While the president has enjoyed
his vacation in his usual strenuous
style, he has been very busy, having
held a number Of important consul
tations with officials other than cab
met members, written his message
to congress, and disposed of all busi-
ness as rapidly as it came to him.
He intended to have all business out
of the way in time for his trip down
the Mississippi and his hunt in
Louisiana and he has kept his sec
retary busy with that object in view.
The Roosevelt family was never In
better health than noY and it will
reacn Washington in the best OF
spirits.
Not until after the trip to the
south Is completed, will the presi-
dent take up the active life of the
white house, though he will natural

TAFT WILL Be HONORED
WHEN HE REACHES
RUSSIA
Visit There Will Be Filled
With Attentions Usually
Paid to Rulers.
AGREEMENT WITH THAT
COUNTRY is POSSIBLE

ST. Petersburg, Russia, Sept. 25.-
Secretary Taft's tour OF the world is
being followed with unusual interest
here. The government is taking
measures to surround his journey
through Siberia and European Rus
sia with the attentions usually OBJ
served for rulers of states, and the
press is busily speculating on the
likelihood and advantage of Russo
American convention. The object
OF Tafts visit to Europe being, 1t Is
alleged, to negotiate an agreement
between the United States and Rus
sa. The conviction prevails here that
was between Japan and the United
States is inevitable In the distant fu-
ture.
In an article today on THE New
World Power" the, Nova Vremya
says: America is about to challenge
her rival for the throne of the Pa
citic."
Car Likes Taft.
The czar has openly expressed his
admiration for the manner in which
Secretary Taft pushes affairs, and it
is probable that the Americans visit
to this city will be honored with all
the pomp usually accorded a visiting
emperor, provided he does not sign
ify his wishes, through the American
ambassador, for less formal recep-
tion.
That the United States, in a way
may be the avenger of Russia's sup
posed wrongs at the hands of Japan,
I is generally believed here, hence the
next president Of the republic. Rus
lia expects that Japan will fight the
I United States and she wants to see
Japan get a vigorous whipping.
