President Patrick Calhoun of the Unit
ed Railroads. He was finally forced
to admit his connection with the
Adams Phillips Company, the Los An
geles brokers, who fioated the Home
Telephone Companys bonds. While his
testimony related to the bringing nortn
OF the money il was in no way incrim-
mating, as il showed that the money
he had handled was that used for the
purchase OF the franchise, whereas the
Doodle money had been paid over some
time previously, the delivery of the lat
ter funds being about February %, two
months prior to the voting on the
franchise.
Percy Morgan of the California Wine
Company and a member OF the execu-
tive committee of the Pacific States
Company gave interesting testimony
despite the fact that IL shed no addi-
tional light on the Pacific States Tele-
phone bribery itself IT did, however,
develop the fact that the controlling
power of the company was practically
in the hands Of one man, and that
deals OF great importance and involv-
ing considerab BILE sums Of money could
be made without the knowledge OF the
members OF the executive committee.
Morgan was associated on the commit
tee with Homer S. King, the banker.
and Frank G. Drum, manager of the
Teyis estate and holder of a large in
terest in the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company at the time the tele-
phone money was paid into the hands
Of the Supervisors. Morgan was in the
East from November, 1905, to April.
1906 and declared that he had no
knowledge of what took place during
that period.
George Beanston, former auditor and
al present a member Of the bookkeep-
ing department of the Pacific States
Company. and John A Mallon. statis
tician for the same company, were eN-
amined as the last witnesses. They told
OF the methods Of the company in con-
Quoting its business, describing the
procedure in the payments Of money
and the issuing Of checks.
The Grand Jury adjourned 20 meet
at 1880 o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
when the final telephone witnesses will
be examined King and Drum, mem
bers OF the executive committee of the
Pacific States Company. will probably
be called, and new matters taken up.

companies and indictments viii then
be voted on. Monday the fight trust
bribery viii be investigated.
There are but few details now lack
ing in the evidence that has been
,amassed against the givers Of the ele-
phone bribes, and the prosecution ex-
poets confidently to secure what is
needed during the session tomorrow.
The testimony taken during the past
two days has been OF a detail nature
and corroborative in its substance.
The facts divulged yesterday before
the Grand Jury turned entirely on the
telephone gratis The main quest or
the day was the tracing Of the bribery
funds Of the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph Company from the time
the bribe was arranged for until the
money reached the hands OF the Su-
pervisOrs, as was done in connection
with the Home Telephone Company's
funds during the investigation on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
with the exception OF one witness.
James y. Martin OF Los Angeles, all
those called yesterday had been before
the Grand Jury before. They were
again subpenaed TO add TO what they
had already told concerning the trans
FER OF money for the telephone bribes,
and the Los Angeles bankers and tele-
phone officials were examined for the
last time and finally dismissed.
A. p. Cass. president Of the Home
Telephone Company Of Los Angeles,
was kept on the stand for over half an
hour. More details of the correspond
ence between officials in this city and
Los Angeles at the time Of the transfer
OF the bribe money were divulged. al
though Csss continued his denial OF
any knowledge OF the Doodle deal.
J. :. Torrance Of Los Angeles re-
peated in part his story OF Wednesday.
He declared that while he assisted in
getting the 100000 sent from the Los
Angeles Offices Of the Home Telephone
Company to the Oakland banks. from
which II was paid over to the city, the
only funds Of which he had any per-
sonal knowledge were those paid
through the legitimate channels for the
franchise itself.
James n Martin. who delivered the
100000 sent by the Home Telephone
Company from Los Angeles TO Oak
land, attempted TO hide his identity
when he left the Grand Jury room.

Many Informers Ready to Tell Of
Grating in Police Department
Expose Will Surprise Chief Dinan and His Men

against Ruef If he were not shut off
from communication from the wounded
ones he might manage to partly mend
the difficulties. In some cases 1t
would already be too late But he
might stop others from telling what
they know. In this matter the prose-
cution holds that Ruef did them a
great service when he escaped to Troc-
adero and made it possible for them to
render him incomunicado.
The amount OF evidence of the
smaller gratis that has been collected
in this way will astonish even the gen.
tleman who is incomunicado when he
hears it's recital. The fact is that
Ruefs methods were too raw to stand
the test of any thorough investiga-
ton. Boss Buckley once told Ruef
that, and now Ruef may reflect on the
truth OF the advice which he did not
heed.

LIFE WITH A BULLET

Worth While

CINCINNATI, March 2s.-willism A.
Proctor, president of the Proctor g.
Gamble Company and son OF one of the
firms founders. died today from bull
let wound, self-inhicted, at his home in
Glendale. a suburb of this city. Coroner
Cameron began an investigation of the
circumstances Of the shooting, and in
the meantime refused TO make any
statement except TO say that Proctor
had died from bullet wound.
Proctor was widely known in bust
ness circles and was a prominent lay
man in the Protestant Episcopal church,
to which institution he was a liberal
contributor. His wealth was estimated
at many millions, most of which had
been made by himself He was noted
for the cooperation scheme for a divi-
sion Of profits with employees that he
had designed for his company.

Prices Lower Than Ever

Every one OF these instruments, has
the advantage of old established repu-
tation and has always maintained
many friends. Every one of them has
been handled by other dealers before
we took the agency. at prices ranging
from $75 to $3.50 more than we regu-
larly ask for it. but during this sale
we are enabled through the liberality
of the manufacturers to establish prices
lower than ever.
All $3.50 and $500 grades are being
sold at reduction of practically 5000
on each piano. Styles that have reg
ularly brought $3.50 and $500 in the
past are now reduced to 1922. 1886 and
1853. and pianos which have never been
sold before as low as 1875 now 90 for
SPAS and s22S. A piano which another
house advertises as a rare bargain at
$275 you can get here for $z1S. These
prices are for cash. but you can have

The testimony of these witnesses as
sisted the prosecution materially in in
quiring into the methods of Ruef in
levying tribute on the corporations
and was significant chiefly for it's fund
of detail. Checks that went to Ruef
and the Supervisors were traced from
the time they were issued until the
time they were cashed, and the prosecu-
tors were able to add considerably to
the documentary evidence which they
are preparing for ultimate presenta-
tion in court. The books of two big

Both Senator Knox and Assistant
Secretary Of Treasury Howard had
direct information from pittSburg by
telephone today which was Of most

also encouraging. lie reported to
the president that Western bankers

selves from Wall street influences m-
