FACTS BROUGHT
OUT IN RUFF CASE
French ReStauranteurS Paid tor
Protection Without Any
Threats Being Made.

San Francisco. June The pro-
prietors before the fire of the five French
restaurants alleged TO have ben victimized
BY Mayor Eugene F. Schmitz and Abra-
ham Ruef, testified for the prosecution
today in the trial of the mayor Tor eA-
tortion. Two things stood out most prom
imentIy when they had finished. flrst.
without exception they claimed TO nave
paid into the $4,000 protection fund De
cause they were satisfied that unless they
employed Ruef they would lose their IL
cerses and as a result their business; sec
ond, without exception they denied thae
any threat had been made tnat lheS
would lose their licenses unless they en-
ployed Ruef and paid him. or that Ruef
asked TO be employed. or that he or any
one in his behalf solicited the $4,000 or
any sum of money whatever
Claims of Prosecution.
The prosecution contends that it is
building I'D certain conviction by estab-
fishing by circumstantial evidence, OF
seeking TO establish, the fact that certain
of the French restauranteurS themselves
acted as the agents of Ruef in suggest
ing that he be employed TO protect their
licenses for them, and in the develop
ments which followed. and Mr.. Heney
has promised to proVe-preSumably by
the Testimony of Ruef himself. who has
turned states evidenCe-that the money
maid to Ruef was by him divided with the
mayor. after which the licenses were
granted.
Position of Defense.
The defense takes the position that thus
far the prosecution has utterly failed &c
support the accusation against the mayor
inasmuch as he is charged with having
'extorted through threatening and fear

Action May Be Taken.

Commissioner Knapp explained that he
did not complete his investigation and
that therefore he was not prepared to give
a definite opinion as to the sufficiency of
the evidence to warrant the government
in instituting at this time suit to nullify
the Alton deal. As soon as the Interstate
commerce commission has completed its
hearing in the case Il report will be made
to the attorney general. who will at that
time take charge of the matter and de-
termine what. if any action shall be ia
ken. 1t is not expected. therefore, that
any suit will actually be begun for some
time. The question of the prosecution of
the bituminous coal-carrying roads was
discussed at some length. but the mat
ter was left in the hands of the attorney
general for such action as he might see
fit to take. There appears to be some
question as to whether any action will be
taken in the immediate future.

how much money the witness had at eacn
place. Orchard supplied the information

that a large percentage of his wages
went over the gambling table. He sell

months in any mining camp.
Up to the time he went TO Colorado in

Goebs statement.
Secretary Loeb at midnight issued this
statement concerning today's cabinet
meeting:
The conference was held for the pur-
pose OF affording ample discussion con-
corning the matters which have been I'M
der investigation by the interstate COM
mcrce commission. The commission has
not yet formulated it's report, and all of
the discussion was of a purely preliminary
kind After report has been made the
attorney general will, of course, carefully
consider it"
The discussion took very wide range.
Much-of the time was given to the Harri-
man Alton deal. Every phase of that
transaction was thoroughly gone over and
discussion was participated in more es-
pecially by the president, Mr.. Kellogg. At
torney General Bonaparte, Commissioner
Kuapp and Lane. The conclusion was
promptly reached that however damaging
the evidence might be against Mr. Har-
riman the testimony he had given in the
interstate commerce investigation had
given him complete immunity from GRIM
