Three Of His Counsel Withdraw.
After one of the most desperate le-

crime in the history Of California, ABB
raham Ruef today entered a plea Of
guilty of the indictment charging him
with extorting money from the French
restaurants under pain of having their
liquor licenses revoked.
The plea came as a thunderclap,
and following the defeat of the defense
in the last stand in the effort to Sc
cure a change of venue. When the
motion was denied the defense sought
continuance, which was also denied.
Ruef then asked time in which to hold
conference with his attorneys, and
this was granted. At the expiration OF

Ruef's Statement.

Ruef's statement was as follows:
with the permission of the court I
desire to make the following state
ment against the protest of my at
torneys: To the public have only
feelings of greatest kindliness, and I
here wish to make a formal statement
declaring they have always fully be-
lieved me innocent Of all the charges
against me. My personal condition is
such cannot stand the terrible strain
of another three or four months in
court. Nightly in conference with
my attorneys, and long hours over
law books, and daily appearance in
court have undermined my health. so
that it would be beyond my physical
powers to endure 1t longer. More
over, strain upon those who are near
and dear to me is such that their
health is also undermined and they
are in a state of vital collapse: their
lives are in danger"
Ruef Nearly Collapsed.
Ruef appeared hardly able to stand
while reading from the manuscript.
His voice faltered, his face twitched
and he frequently broke down COM
pletely and drank cup after cup Of
water, and spoke very slowly.

sition in this city, and have long borne
an honored and respected name. My

PHILIPPINE COAL

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Govern-
ment experts are to be sent to the
Philippines to investigate the coal
fields there and to arrange for the
opening of the mines and the supply
ing of the government transports.
1t has been reported that the gov
eminent proposes to take on no more
coal for its vessels at Nagasali, the
port at which nearly all the naval
and army vessels have been coaling
Rumors of explosives found in the
coal bunkers of some of the vessels
are given as a possible cause for this
but the desire of the government to
open the Philippine fields is probably
due to the desire to not be dependent
on any foreign nation for an absolute
necessity.

TELtPHOTO CAMERA
FOR ARMY USE
AN APPARATUS FOR KITES AND
BALLOONS WHICH is BEING
MUCH DISCUSSED.

WASHINGTON, June 24-Army peo-
pie are very much interested in the
purchase abroad of a telephoto ca
mera for use on kites and balloons.
This camera marks a new departure
in telephotography. The Signal Corps
has made frequent use of Photographic
apparatus in the field, and has already
had experience in taking photographs
from kites promising results have been
obtained by the use of the ordinary
cameras. In order to get photographs
of sufficiently large size to be of use
in showing the details of distant OBJ
jects, the cameras hitherto used have
been very bulky. The telephoto ca
mera is expected to supply a want
in that direction, since it produces
photographs showing details in dis
tant objects without a corresponding
increase in the size of the camera.
The type to be purchased gives an
enlargement of six times.
Experiments have recently been COM
pleted at the Springfield, Armory, Mass.
to determine if it is possible to prolong
the accuracy life of the musket barrel
without changing it's balistic qualities.
The experiments demonstrated that
the loss in accuracy of a musket Is
proportionate to the amount of erosion
occurring near the bullet seat.

Miss cahiIl in Marrying Mary"

Manager R. s. Douglas announces Ma Tie Cahill in Marrying Mary" as the attraction at the Jefferson theatre Thurs day night. Theatregoers of Birmingham know Miss Cahill The New Orleans Picayune tells the story of Marrying Mary in part as follows:
 Marrying Mary at the Tulane last night proved scintilant sunburst of humor, with Marie Cahlll as the bright est jewel but with the settings not lack in in luster. In her play of this year. which is by Edwin Milton Royle, with the lyrics by Benjamin Hagood Burt and the music by Silvio Hein, Miss Cahill seems welded to the best vehicle that she has had in some time. and this union was prolific of an evening of whole some and infectious mirth that kept the audience in one spell of good humor all the evening. Miss Cahill, as the unfortu- nate possessor of q collection of matri- monial misfits, soon Uttered and gurgled herself into the good graces of her hear CTS, until she had to answer curtain calls on every occasion on which she sang. Like wine, her sense of humor seems to grow better every year. until her pace as the comedienne of the stage seems quite incontestable, and everything about her last night confirmed this claim. Her laugh was simply contagious, her voice was attuned to her lines and every movement of her body added to the effect and heightened the delicious humor that seemed but the expression of herself, but which was in reality the expression of her art. for Miss Cahill has acquired to a remarkable degree an ingenuousness that gives color to all of

He gives the child into the keeping of the concierge S wife. At about this time an Austrian princess eloped with a Hungarian musi- elan and was later reinstated in court The eonclerge's wife, of a romatic turn of mind, believes that the founding is no other than the child of the princess, and the youngster is named Beatrice Vic toria after the Austrian noblewoman. She is brought up to believe this and when Stewart sent her to an American school, the child clings to the belief of her nativity and develops an imperious manner among her school mates and teachers.

"Painting the Town"

Painting the Town" the new musical play, which comes to the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night for one performance is said to be a combination of opera, comedy. spectacle, ballet and pantomime, with an unusually large investiture of scenery, new mechanical features, elab- crate costuming and the latest novelties In electric lighting effects. It was the aim of the management in presenting Painting the Town" to endeavor to offer something out of the general run in musical comedy and nothing has been left undone 1t is claimed that knowledge, ability or liberal outlay could insure to effect this end
 The story of Painting the Town" is bright, clean and funny while the comedy complications will appeal at once to those who enjoy a hearty laugh.
 The music, which has been especially composed for the piece ranges from opera to the ever welcome "ensemble numbers" and is of that quality which insures an immediate success. A novel singing and dancing feature has ben prepared in an ensemble number, requiring the entire force of the company entitled "The Elm
