Merely corroboratiye.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2s.--The
Grand Jury investigation Of the bril-
berry and graft In San Francisco re-
suited In finding no new indictments
, today. But one session was held, last
from two until Ave and at the conclu-
sion. District Attorney Langdon said
opened up today but from the witness
ses examined confirmation had been
elicited Of certain facts tending to
connect some links In the chain OF
evidence showing the bribery of San

Heney said I'VE went over new
ground today. but purely for the pur-
pose OF clInching the evidence al
ready adduced.'
The witnesses examined today con-
sisted principally Of bankers and capt.
talists OF Los Angeles. who are stock
holders In the Home Company.
The extortion cases against Abra-
ham Ruef were called for trial this
morning before Judge Dunno in the
Superior Court and upon motion OF AS
sistant District Attorney Heney were
continued for one week. Mr.. Heney in
asking for the postponement explained
the reason as the necessity OF proceed
ing at once with the examination Of
'briberies before the Grand Jury. The
continuance was vehemently opposed
by the defense.
Ruers attorneys asked for an order
of the Court directing Ellsor Biggy to
permit Ruef to be sent at any reason
able time by any person bearing an or
der from them and also directing the
Elisor to take Ruef to any place In the
city where he has business at any

NEW YORK. March 26--Jacob H,
Schlfr. head of the banking firm OF
Kuhn. Loeb & Co, who returned to
Wall Street yesterday after a short
vacation In the South. said In an In
tervlew which appears In the Times
this morning that the fear that some-
thing exceptionally distressing will

present state OF affairs In the stock
market than the money market As.
Mr., Schift continued
"The real problem, therefore. seems
to be In this railroad situation. /
have thought II over carefully, trying
TO keep in mind the point Of view both
Of the railroads and OF the govern
ment and II seems to me that a pos
sible solution is to be found In the
adoption Of plan, the main features
of which should ,be these:
First, the appointment by the rail
roads themselves OF certain number
Of representative railroad men con-
versant with that side of the matter
who should go into convention or con-
ference with the members Of the In
terstate Commission, that body, of
course representing the government,
In this conference there could be a
fair and frank discussion OF all the
proposals for railroad legislation Of
all kinds and 1t ought to be possible
for such a body of men to agree on a
plan Of legislation fair to all bodies,
which could receive the sanction of
the President, Of the people gnerally,
and to the stockholders Of the roads.
This could be made the basis of legis-
lation by Congress and It would be of
a thorough nature as to make 1t un-
necessary for individual states to do
more than to follow the lines laid
down there"
