BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Miss Veronica Smith of Law renee street left to-day for a weeks vacation in New York.
 Miss Laura Draher of Draher street has returned from vacation spent at Walnut beach.
 Miss Margaret Cronin of North Leonard street has returned from a two weeks vacation at Asbury park
 Felix Lallier, who has resided in Brooklyn and kept store for the past fifteen years, is moving to North Main street.
 Among those who spent last week at Walnut beach were Miss Della Burns of Washington avenue and Miss Lillian Weiss of North Leonard street.
 "A fight between a couple of men caused little excitement at the cor ner of Bank and James streets Sat- urday evening about 12:30. The belligerents took sneak" before the police arrived.
 The street department was busy in Brooklyn Saturday evening and gave Bank street much needed cleaning. The pavement was clean ed thoroughly and Sunday morning after its bath.sit looked as though It had just been laid.
 Yesterday number of people was attracted by smoke to the Pre-. savage building on James street as 1t seemed as though the block were -on fire. But 1t was only a pile of rubbish in the rear of the building that was blazing. Some one was just about to ring the alarm when the cause of the smoke was discovered.
 While a number of Soarders were sitting on the veranda of An tonic Pittzo's residence on South Riverside street yesterday afternoon about o'clock stone came through the air and crashed through the win dow in the store below. It had been hurled by one of the workmen on the railroad short distance away. Evidently 1t was the intention oi the man who threw 1t to have 1t land among the group sitting on the yer anda but his aim was not true. At any rate the proprietor of the store angered at the thought of having to pay s4.50 for having his name again painted on the window hastened to find policeman. He met Oficer Brickel and brought him to where the laborers were working. Pittzo accused one of the men and was positive that he was the one who had sent the stone through the window. The accused denied 1t but finally in- formed the officer that he knew who was the offender. He said he had "skooted" over to Jackson street. Brickel told him to lead him to the house and when they started they were followed by large. crowd, which had collected because of the trouble. When they arrived at Jack son street the man was pointed out and he made no fuss about stating that he threw the stone. But as he declared he meant no harm by 1t and willingly paid over the s4.50 which Pittzo said 1t would cost him to re- place the window, the man was not arrested.

IN THE TRIAL OF SAN FRAN
ClSco'S POLITICAL BOSS.

San Francisco, April 15.-For the Sec
ond time since the trial of Abraham
Ruef for extortion was begun Superior
Judge Dunno today formally disqualified
the sheriff and coroner of San Francisco
as united by bias, prejudice and per-
sonal interest to perform any of the func-
tions of the former offices in connection
with this trial, and for the second time
appointed and administered the oath to
William ]. Biggy as elisor. Bggy is
now charged not only with the custody of
Ruef but also with the summoning of
the jury when it shall have been selected
and sworn
In the course of today's proceedings
both the defense and the prosecution
scored important points under the rulings
of Judge Dune. The prosecution sub
mitted three motions-for the disquilafica-
tion of Sheriff NELL and Coroner Walsh
as officials prejudiced in favor of Ruef;
for the issuing Of a special yenire and
for the appointment of an elisor to sum-
mon 1t.
Against these motions the defense OBJ
jected with much spirit, and was sus-
tained by the court on one point. Judge
Dunno refused at this time to order a spe-
cial venire, holding that there appeared
no good reason why an ordinary venire
should not be summoned from the jury
list on which 14T5 names remained.

ROOSEVELT PLAYS
CONSPIRACY CARD
COL. G. B. M. HARVEY, EDITOR
OF HARPER'S WEEKLY, is NOW
ALLEGED TO BE PART OF THE
s5,ooo,ooo CONSPIRACY.

Washington, April 5.-(speciaL)- 1T be-
comes clearer from day to day that any
man of prominence who raises his voice
against the President or his policies Is
to be classed as a conspirator gainst the
Roosevelt administration and the well
fare of the republic. Closely following
the denunciation of II. II. Rogers for his
recent interviews on Industrial eondi-
tions, Col. George B. M. Harvey, who
criticised Mr.. Roosevelt In a Jefferson
day speech on Saturday night before the
National Democratic club In New York,
was today promptly placarded at the
White House as a part OF the 100000
conspiracy which Senator Penrose Of
Pennsylvania is suspected Of having re-
vealed in an after-dinner confidence.
The intimatlons this morning from the
vicinity of Mr.. Roosevelt sought to show
that Col. Harvey, who Is the editor Of
Harper's Weekly. is closely allied with
the interests OF j. Pierpont Morgan, Mr..
Hartman and other men OF great wealth.
and that they are all Interested in talk
ing a shy at the Presidents policies.
There is feeling here that the President
is In danger of oyerplaying the consplr-
acy card which he has worked up to this
time with more or less effect. Some of
his friends here are already beginning to
manifest feeling of restlessness under
the almost daily castigations, In more or
less official form of some person who has
publicly disagreed with him.
Not few Of these believe 1t would be
the wiser policy for him, now that ne
has scored his point. not to keep rub

ponents TO his policies to the intelligence
