President Duffey of the Board of
Works stated yesterday that the work
of repairing the streets was being de-
iayed because of the nonarrival Of
forty carloads of asphalt and bitumen,
which had started from Santa Cruz
as far back as February IA. Duffey is
wroth at the Southern Pacific Company
for falling to deliver the bitumen in
eighteen days, though the trip should
have consumed only twenty-four hours
at the most. He said that If the BIZ
tumen were on hand the temporary
repair of the streets would be an ac-
complished fact.
Duffey expressed himself as much
pleased over The cleaning of the streets
on Sunday. He intends to keep them
clean, and to that end has requested
the Police Department to maintain a
close watch on wagons for leaking
dirt or sand.

HEBBARD's CONDITION

At 1880 the contending parties ap-
peared before Judge Hebbard In his
courtroom on Clay street. Ruef was
represented byN Henry Ach. Samuel
Shortridge. Judge Fairall and Frank
Murphy, MYRTLE Cert, as usual being
in close attendance at the heels of his
chief. The State was represented by
District Attorney Langdon and Special
Prosecutor Hiram Johnson, who were
accompanied by Rudolph Spreckels.
Judge Hebbard was a few minutes
late in returning to the court. and his
appearance as he mounted the bench
caused the suspicion put in words last
night by Heney to fit through the
minds of most of those in the court
room. This was further heightened by
his manner of speech, the uncertain
gestures with which he accompanied
his remarks to the attorneys and the
argumentative language in which his
rulings were couched.

short by Attorney Johnson, who in
