UNWILLING WITNESSES
M GLASS BRIBERY CASE
From One Of Them the Defendant
Sand Boxton Were Brought Together.

San Francisco. July 16.-Both disap-
pointment and success fell to the lot
of the prosecution in the Glass bribery
trial today. Two witnesses, John
Krause. agent of the Pacific States
Telephone company. and Miss Mary
Ryan. a stenographer formerly in the
employment OF Agent T. V. Halsey.
proved unwilling witnesses. Miss
Ryan. who is the first woman thus far
to appear in court in any of the graft
cases. was relied on by the prosecu-
tion to tell of discriminating conversa-
tions between Halsey and Glass. but
the best Heney could get from her was
that she had seen Boxton in Halsey's
office in the company's building in
Bush street. She had been dismissed
from the room before Halsey and Box
ton entered into conversation.
From E. S. Pillsbury. attorney for
and director of the company. for many
years a well known lobbyist in this
state. Heney after much difficulty
elected the statement that Halsey re-
ported directly to Glass and that at
the time of the alleged bribery Glass
was the only official of the company
with power to sign checks for dis
bursements without the approval of
the board of directors.

san Francisco. July 16.-Dr. Edward
Robeson Taylor. dean of Hastings Law
college. was elected mayor tonight,
following his selection at o'clock this
afternoon by the prosecution of the
bribery graft cases.
DR.. Taylor was the third man TO
whom the election was offered by Ru-
dolph Spreckels, and District Attorney
Langdon. His selection came as a
complete surprise. for at no lime in
the past weeks of daily guessing was
his name mentioned outside the secret
councils of the district attorney and
his half dozen associates.
The office was rendered to DR.. Tay-
lor a few minutes after o'clock this
afternoon and his acceptance was in
the hands of Langdon and Spreckels
before five.
Following the refusal last Friday of
the labor organizations and some conn
mercial bodies to embrace the conven-
ton of thirty plan submitted by the
district attorney as a fair and non
partisan method of selecting clean
mayor for San Francisco. Langdon on
Saturday went to Santa Barbara and
asked DR.. John G. Gallwey to accept
the mayOralty. He was spending the
weekend with his family in the south
ern city. "Dr Gallwey is a physician
of wide practice. said Langdon in
discussing him, "a man of fine educa-
tion and character has never been
mixed in politics. though a democrat
bv affiliation. l spent Sunday with
him and did my best to get him to ac-
cept; but he declared that he abhorred
the thought of public life. that all his
mature years had been spent in the
ministrations of his profession and he
was loath to entertain the offer. He
agreed however, to consider it and /
returned to San Francisco on Monday
in high hopes. only to receive a tele-
gram of rejection.
Last night, after another confer
ence with my associates, Robert c.
Harrison. former justice of the SUI
preme court, was asked to accept an
election. He is a republican. Judge
Harrison, much to our regret, declin-
ed. He is more than seventy years of
age and felt on account of his age that
the duties Of the office would be too
heavy for him to carry. He returned
his declination to us today.
This afternoon about o'clock we
brought up in conference the name Of
DR.. Taylor and instantly we were
unit in his favor-if we could induce

MIDSUMMER DULLNSS
OF Tilt STOCK MARKET
One Of the Depressing Features Was
the Diseouragins Copper Outlook.

New York. July 16.-The stock mar
ket was a dull affair and had all the
characteristics of the midsummer Pc
riod. There was some activity in
three or four stocks but If the shares
OF these were deducted from the total
sales of the day the remainder is in
significant.
Union Pacific was an active feature
and its sales make up an important
proportion of the days business. The
movemen. Of Union Pacific was also a
dominating influence upon the narrow
movement of the whole market. ANAL
gamated Copper and Reading made
another important proportion of the
small dealings of the day. The general
movement was sluggish in conformity
with the narrowness of the stock mar
ket The friends of Union Pacific
proclaimed their conviction that the
Inference to be drawn from the Har-
riman report OF the interstate COM
merce commission is the admitted fu-
tility Of the prosecution to dissolve the
railroad combination. The demand for
this stock from domestic sources was
heavy and more than sufficient to
absorb some Of the large offerings for
the foreign account.
An obstacle to the rising tendency
was the bad effect of the sentiment
produced by the instability of the
price of copper. The stock market was
confronted at the outset today with
, the slump in the price of copper war
rants in London. During the day
there occurred a further reduction of
I1%G1Ac per pound for all grades of
copper. Opinions found expression to-
day that the fall in the price must run
several more cents before business can

THE DISASTER
UNAVOIDABLE
Official Opinion As II
BdttIeship Explosion
Mechanism Was Perfect
and the Officers and Crew
Careful.

Washington, July 16.-It is said al
the navy department that 1t is ex-
tremely improbable that the explosion
aboard the battleship Georgia resulted
from any carelessness on the part OF
the officers or crew. A short time age
a thorough inspection was made OF
every detail of the Georgias ordnance
by Commander Schofield. one of the
most expert ordnance officers of the
navy. This inspection included every
one of the guns, the details of the tur-
ret mechanism, the workings of the
ammunition hoists, which in the case
of the superimposed turrets of the
Georgia are rather more complicated
than in the ordinary type, and. fin
ally. and most important the hand
ling of the guns. mechanism and am
munition by the sailors. 1t was found
that the ships company was very ef-
ficient at all points and it is claimed
that they were following very closely
the firing regulations in every essen
tial detail.
A theory is advanced by some of the
Georgia's officers when they came
ashore at Boston that the powder
charge of the eight inch gun was fired
accidentally by clot SCOT. whichcame
floating down, smouldering from the
ships smoke pipe and settling by
chance into the open scuttle on the tor
turret. alighting directly on the fifty
pound bag of smokeless powder in the
arms of the loader at the breech OF
the gun.
hn fol nln
president at oyster Bay regarding the
accident was received at the navy de-
partment this afternoon: Il am mex
pressibly shocked and grieved at thu
dreadful accident on the Georgia ant

men. / wish full particulars at tbs
earliest possible date. Let me know

NEW MINERAL FOUND IN ALASKA
Has Consistency of Chalk and is In
digo Blue in Color.

A recent discovery 1876 miles below
Rampant on the Yukon has aroused
intense interest in the North. James
Langford, Rampant pioneer, has
found vein of mineral of the con-
sistency of chalk and of an indigo blue
in color. 1t can be used as ordinary
chalk. None of the Alaskan minero-
logists can identify it and it is being
sent to Seattle for analysis.
There are now in Alaska probably a
dozen unidentified specimens of min
erals and one of the many benefits to
Alaska and Yukon of the Alaska Yu-
-kon- Pacific Exposition, which will be
held at Seattle in 1909. will be the as
semhling and classifying of these now
unknown specimens. In many cases
the owners of the veins of unidentified
minerals believe that they stand a
chance of winning great wealth as
their find may be some hitherto undis-
covered combination. AS original re-
search work will go on all the time
the exposition is in progress one of the
first duties of the savants in charge of
this branch will Ee the identifying of
the unknown elements or combinations,
and the adapting of them to some
commercial purpose.

CONGESTION AT PORTLAND
Given as Reason For Grain Embargo
By o. r. & N.

What is practically an embargo up
on all grain shipments from the inland
empire, excepting to four Portland
concerns, has been issued by the o. R.

gestion of grain at Portland wharves.
In notice to all conductors aud

plicit instructions that no cars be
spotted" nor shipments of wheat or
barley received for any grain shipping
companies, except the Pacific coast

company and Albers Brothers of Port
land, and states as reason for the or
der that the tracks are crowded with
unloaded cars and the wharves and
docks are congested with shipments
which cannot be moved.
This is one of the first admissions on
part of railroad company in the
northwest that the traffic of the coun-
try is outgrowing the facilities and

Umatilla Tax Rolls Show Increase of
Half Million Over

The completion of the footing up of
the real estate roll by Assessor Strain
and Deputy Whitman shows an in
crease of half million for Umatilla
county over the total county assessment
for last year. The roll totals $S, 5S2,- :
65l for this year, which is an increase
of $377,886 over that of last year.

assessment will exceed that of last
year by $125.OO0, thus bringing the
total for this year to about $40, 800.
900.
According to the assessor the in
crease in the realty assessment comes
largely from the higher valuations he
has placed on raw land in the western
portion of the county. In the past The
arid land in that section has been
assessed at almost nothing, but now
that il is to be reclaimed aud is selling
at high prices. the assessed value has
been increased

this year is 1904, ,669 acres, whereas
last year it was but 952, ,O66. The cul-
tivated land this year amounts to 416,-
625 acres, an increase of 60 acres over
last year; while the total amount of
uncultivated land in the county is Civ
eu at 5S8, l44 acres
Last year the uncultivated land of
