"stranger in Town. Makes Good.

The largest audience of this sum- mer's season at the Electric Park Ca sino saw the second performance of "A Stranger in Town" by Frank Beamish and his capable company.
 No better compliment could be paid to the company than to chronicle the fact that the second nights audience saw the opening of the engagement. !.
 The proof Is conclusive that the com pany has made good with the public, and that's who the company wants to make good with.
 "A Stranger in Town" Is really clever comedy and its presentation is entirely satisfactory. 1t is a farce, rather tre-goiag America never really got enough of. Both MT. Beamish and Miss Knight have become favorites in Mont eomedan While .ofmer tbe latter h fin addtion to being capable actress, has a mag nificent stage appearance.

San Francisco Grand Jury Still
Hard at Work.
They Are Attempting to Trace $50,
900 Telephone Money--A stem
oorapher Who viii Not Tell.

San Francisco, March 22.-The
grand jury Thursday resumed its work
Of investigating the alleged wholesale
graft and corruption in the municipal
affairs Of this city and after an allday
session with a brief recess for noon,
adjourned Thursday night until II O."
clock Saturday morning. No indict-
ments upon the alleged briblng of the
supervisors by the telephone compa.
MES on which 81 indictments have al
ready been based, were found.
The grand jury made a determined
effort to trace the $4,000 alleged to
have been paid by T. V. Halsey, rep
resenting the Pacific States Telephone
& Telegraph company TO ten of the
supervisors to prevent the granting
Of franchise to the Home Tele-
phone company. For the same pur-
pose almost all the officials and
books of the Pacific States company
were taken before the grand Jury by
Secret Service Agent Burns.
Miss Nellie Smith, stenographer to
Gerstle, Prick and Beedy, the attor-
neys who represented the Home Tele-
phone company in the obtaining OF a
franchise from the supervisors, was re,
called Thursday and spent over an
hour In the grand jury room. She is
considered by Heney and Burns to be
one Of the most Important witnesses
In the deal by which the home company
is said to have paid $4,000 to the
supervisors through Ruef for their
franchise. 1t is said that all efforts
30 far to get any information from her
have failed.

RUFF IS Glossy WATCHED
His Application for Writ of Habeas
Corpus Dismissed.
Five Men Keep Constant Vigil over
Indicted San FranclsLH Bose
Working for Confession.

San Francisco, March 22.-The su
preme court Thursday on the request
of the attorneys of Abraham Ruef, the
central figure In the municipal graft
investigation, dismissed Ruef's appli'
cation for a writ of habeas corpus to
transfer him from the custody of Ell.
sor W. ]. Buggy to that OF Sheriff
O'Neill and to be taken from the st.
Francis hotel to the county jail
"Ruef," said Buggy, upon looking
up authorities, came to the conclusion
that the supreme court would sustain
the action Of Superior Judge Dunno
in appointing an elisor and forestalled
any adverse decision by having the
writ dismissed. r.
The dismissal of the writ was TO
some extent disappointment TO the
prosecution, who hoped that the su-
preme court would hand down a de-
cision which would clearly define the
duties and authority Of an elisor,
some points of which now are mat
ter of contention.
Color is lent to the report persis-
tently circulated that Burns Is work
ing on Ruef to get him to confess by
the frequent visits paid by the secret
service agent to Ruef and the fact
that Burns was closeted with the de-
throned political chleftaln until 2:3O
o'clock Thursday morning.
The dismissal of the writ by the
supreme court, the question of a place
of detention for Ruef has again aris-
en-. Distrustlng the police and the
sheriff, Ruef has been kept in the st.
Francis hotel pending the decision of
the supreme court as to the legality
of his detention in the custody of Ell
sor Biggy. Now that this matter has
been dropped by Ruef and his attor-
neys, the prosecution are casting
about to find another place of deten-
ton for Ruef. 1t has been decided to
take an apartment or a private house.
Perhaps no prisoner In the United |
States today is so closely guarded as
Is Ruef. Burns has placed six OF his
picked men under Buggy to guard
him. At night Buggy sleeps in the
same room with Ruef, two guards are
IN duty In the room with their eyes
on Ruef, one man stands
guard in the hall in front of the door
ind one man is on duty outside Of the
window in the room. In the event
II an attempt Of rescue or escape the
men have orders to kill Ruef.
