MANY COME TO HEAR DELMAs

Closing Talk in Glass
Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, July B.-Not a seat
within hearing range was vacant In the
auditorium of Temple Israel-Sherith today
when Dolphin NJ. Delmas began the clos
ing argument in defense of Vice President
and General Manager Louis Glass OF the
Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph
company whose trial for bribery has been
progressing for two weeks before a jury
in Judge Lawlor's department of the su-
peTior court
This is an Indictment" said Delmas,
Charging Louis Glass with the crime Of
br berry, alleged to have been committed
BY giving to one Boxton the sum of s. OOO
on the 18th of March, 1906 for the purpose
of influencing his action as a supervisor
of this city and the county in a matter then
pending before the board. the application
of the Home Telephone company for a
franchise to operate in this city. To this
charge he pleaded not guilty and the ques-
tion of his guilt or innocence Is the issue
and the sole Issue which you are to try.
What is the evidence here? What is the
proof of the commission of the crime? The
only proof that any money was ever paid
to DR.. Boxton is his own unsupported tes-
timony.
IF Boxton was bribed he is as much
sunny "a 'ho NillIe do 10 the man VINO
bribed him. That he was an acCOmpliCe
II the crime was committed is admitted by
the prosecution, You have then the sole
testimony of a man who tells you he sold
himself over and over again-a man whom
the law stigmatzes as unworthy of belief
in himself and whose testimony must be
corroborated by other and uncontaminated
evidence tending to connect the defendant
with the commission of the crime before
a conviction can be had"

PARIS, July 25.-Gil Bias publishes today
an interview with Vice Admiral 1juin
commander of the japanese squadron
at Brest on the Japanese navy,~[oA y
Japan had not decided in v'.cI AN
happenings, to enlarge its W<,HW avail
construction, the vice adm ,hed:
I'VE have a naval progi u for several
years ahead and we shall execute it pune
tually and vigorously, as do the great ma
tons Of Europe. But this program has not
been enlarged of recent months, and 1t
stands as it did when originated by the
admiralty last year"
Continuing, the admiral said It was In
exact to declare that the japanese loan
would be used for the increase Of naval
power and explained that this money would
be devoted to the construction of railroads
and other communication in Mancnuria.
I'VE are satisfied with the navy" Vice Ad-
miral Ijuin went on, "and we believe this
branch will be able to cope with all event
uaities. The Japanese Parliament while
refusing nothing for national defense, holds
us vigorously to the naval appropriations
and these we never exceed. We are to
build three warships of the type of the
Tsukuba, but more powerful, and they are
to be constructed in Japanese yards from
material furnished by Japanese industries" ="
Vice Admiral Ijuin knew nothing Of any
intention on the part Of the Japanese to
build warships for China. We are inter
ested in all things concerning the grandeur
and power ,of the Asiatic race" he said,
but up to the present time we have not
had to concern ourselves with the Chinese
marine. China has not appealed to us and
1t is not yet seriously interested in the
reorganization of its navy"
Minister of Marine Thomson entertained
at luncheon today Vice Admiral Ijuin and
the other Japanese officers from the
squadron now at Brest. British Ambassa-
dor Berthe was the only outsider present.
The toasts exchanged were cordial.
