sunk again and caused the company to
abandon the route temporarily.
1t is the theory of the Southern Pa
ciic engineers that they can avoid these
difficulties by abandoning the marshes
for the solid ground between South
Vallejo and Cordelia- The ferry boat
Solano has been used to carry trains
across Carquinez straits from Port Co.'S
ia to Benicia, where the span was mar
rowest. The crossing from Rodeo to
South Vallejo will be much longer. but
II will enable the company to avoid the
marshes, and this is the object of the
change.
Rodeo is to become one of the most
important shipping points on the bay.

engineers Of the railroad company that

Aside from the advantages to be
gained in transcontineutal freight and
passenger service by the proposed
changes in the route. connections with
the Northwestern Pacific, in which E.

the arguments should not be concluded
until the evidence was all in He said
that on the testimony adduced the de-
fense was entitled to believe that the
indictment against Glass, naming San
derson as the recipient of the telephone
mans bribe, had in fact never been
voted by the grand jury
Delmas called Foreman Oliver of the
grand jury to substantiate this claim
and developed quite the contrary in
formation. Oliver swore positively that
the IL indictments against Glass were
separately voted and ordered by the
grand jury on March 21. Sanderson did
not appear before the grand jury until
March q, and as Oliver insisted that
the whole investigation of the Glass
cases was concluded when the indict-
ments were voted and nearly a week

Langdon Objects to
the Demand for
Large Salaries
Thinks $40 a Day
Is Enough for
Sewer Work

District Attorney Langdon and Grand
Juror Greenbaum protested yesterday
against the payment of more than SO
Day each to Frank O'Kane, inspector,
and Thomas ]. Tully, superintendent,
on the lower Market street sewer work.
The board Of works employed O'Kane
at a salary OF SIS day, and also
agreed to pay Tully 10 per cent on all
material and labor utilized in the work
at the time that the city undertook to
build the sewer 1t was estimated that
Tully would draw $4,000 or more un-
der that agreement when the work
was completed.
Langdon and Greenbaum considered
that SO a day would be ample pay
for the two men, and Horton Will take
that view OF the matter and refuse to
audit the demands for any amount in
excess Of $40 day

the existence of grand juries had in
fact no bearing upon juries but applied
only to those persons whose names
were on the slips in the jury box and
who had not been drawn and sworn TO
serve upon jury. He supported this
contention by decisions of the supreme
court cited by Coogan on the pre-
ceding day in support of a contrary
contention and by a Hypothetical case
involving trial jury which had been
settled in case determined.
His hypothetical case contemplated
a trial jury drawn in December from
the jury list selected the preceding
January. Assuming that the trial
should be prolonged through the
month of January and into February,
Cobb insisted that by. parity Of Coo
gan's reasoning a verdict returned by
that jury would be void, while in fact
courts have held directly to the con-
trary.
Cobb insisted that the provisions Of
the code touching grand jury terms
were intended and in fact did govern
the matter of drawing juries from the
jury box. and did not and were not in
tended to affect juries alCer they were
drawn and impaneled.s
Citing in re Cannon, one of the lead
ing cases and one relied upon by the
defense, Cobb showed that the defense s
argument was not in accord with the
majority and deciding opinion, but in
accord with a single dissenting opinion.
BY the same case he showed that the
supreme court had held that the statute
law fixed the time in which grand
jurors should serve for the purpose of
being actually drawn and sworn; 1t did
not affect the terms of their service
after they had been so drawn and
sworn The same case was cited in
support Of the prosecutions claim that
an indictment returned by de facto
grand jury was as valid as one re-
turned by a de jure inquisitorial body.
The argument was enlivened by sew
eral passages at arms between Cobb
and Delmas, who did not approve of
the young prosecutor. In opening his
address Cobb said he would confine
himself to the main point raised by
Coogan, which, he understood, was to
be applicable to all interested defend
ants. Delmas did not agree with this
general understanding. and addressing
the court said ponderously:
I'VE have no authority to speak for
any other than ourselves. We have not
spoken for any other than ourselves.
We will not speak for any other than
ourselves"
"All right" retorted Cobb. Feeling
that the other defendants have lost
nothing by failure to adopt your argu-
ments as their own, will address my
self TO answering the arguments in the
Glass case"
Cobb told the court after the noon
recess that the prosecution wished &c

motion was submitted might desire to
correct some deficiencies or TO amplify
some portions of the testimony touch

Graham's court Delmas insisted that

F. w. Dohrmann May
Be Selected as Mayor

VIII Resign Next Week

A report gained circulation yesterday
that the graft prosecutors had finally
determined upon r W. Dohrmann as
the new mayor, but no one connected
with the district attorneys ONCE would
confirm the rurnor. II was said that
Dohrmann was TO be asked TO take the
office next week and that before the
week had elapsed the supervisors who
had confessed to boodling would resign.
Coupled with this report was the
statement that nine members Of the
late board Of supervisors would be ap-
pointed TO their old positions. 1t was
said that Brandenstein, D'Ancona,
Comte, Connor, Mcclellan, Rock. Hooks,

verified the rumor last night that the
commission had pledged itself to show
Dinan 1 exit and admitted that the
commission had not only started the
ball rolling in this direction three
weeks ago, but that the only cause Of
delay was the unexpected and unex-
planned esisnation Of President VIII

carry the sad news to the indicted
chief Wallen said:
YES, Grand Juror Sonntag did ap-
pear before a meeting of the police
commissioners about three weeks ago.
The commission was meeting in execu-
tive session at the time and an effort
was made to keep knowledge of the
visit from becoming public. Sonntag
appeared as representative OF the dis

ton. and proposed that the commission

There was a long discussion over
the matter, resulting eventually in the
agreement that this demand should be
modified and that instead of demanding &
z resignation we should ask Dinan TO
apply for a leave of absence extending g
over a long period Of time, and should
then grant it without any delay Sonn-
tag proposed that during Dinans leave

Oliver also explained at length the
procedure in the return of the Glass
indictments and the subsequent sub
stitution of two new bills for the in
dictments naming Furey and Sanderson
as bribees- He said the IL indictments
were voted March 21. The district at

bills on March %. Ten of these bills

Canoya, S. d., Nov 7-Seven armed
bandits held up this town early today.
They blew the safe in the Interstate

hour later without leaving the slight

While two bandits worked at the
bank others guarded the approaches.

but the robbers opened fire and drove
them back, threatening to kill the first

staple in order to meet our balances
in Europe. The function of the cotton
industry in financing our foreign trade
is SO important, indeed, that one might
almost expect to see bill in Congress
introduced by gentleman from Penn
sylvania and backed by the stand-pa
league, forbidding planters to Withhold
single bale that was ready for export.
We have marvellous resources in ore
and fuel for the steel industry. But
we cannot trade with the world very
much on them. Artificial prices,
made by the tariff, prevent that. Elk

amount to only one sixth the exports
of stuff produced on the farm. 1t is
the unprotected producer upon whom
we must depend to settle for the
articles we buy abroad. Unprotected
cotton and foodstuffs, comprising
about sixty per cent. of our total ex-
ports, enable US to do business with
the world. Saturday Evening Post.

lie is given to the statement that Sen

The Argus Leader will doubtless
be panied to learn that Kittredge was

is never so happy as when it can
make itself believe that someone,
somewhere, has offered its pet slight
or an insult. However, we see no
reason why Kittredge should be in

WHAT WE TRADE ON.

1t seems to be kind of treason this
fall for planters TO Withhold their
cotton from market in the hope Of
forcing higher prices. Not only is
money tight; but at this writing
foreign exchange is rising, involving a
threat of gold exports. We must
depend principally upon cotton, which
Europe will buy in great quantities,
and which runs into money very fast,
to overcome this menace and turn the
tide our way. That, in view of such a
public need, planters should hold
cotton for merely personal gain is
sruly reprehensible. We read that the
banks generally will keep them in the
.1ath of duty by sefusing to extend
loans on stored cotton.
A similar situation arises every fall. !.
Cotton makes nearley one-quarter of
oIr total exports. Much more than
anything else, it is what keeps our
trade with the World going. We
must, each year, hurry out the great
