AVERY SETTLES BILL
OF OFFICERS CLUB
Witness Testifies at Court Mar.
: tial That Captain and His
Wife Gave Notes

The court martial of Captain Solomon
Avery Jr., which convened at 10 o'clock
yesterday a. the Preside, was given
over to the testimony of agents of the
different firms with whom Avery. as
secretary Of the officers club, had dealt.
Captain Avery is charged with con
duct unbecoming an officer and a gen.
tleman," and also with conduct detri-
mental to the service The basis of
these charges was that when he re-
signed his duties as secretary and
treasurer, Avery was reported to have
stated to Captain ]. r. Robinson that
the club was in a good financial con-
dition.
After Robinson took the position of
secretary he found that there were
s1,400 of outstanding debts that Avery
had not mentioned when he resigned.
The debts consisted of bills due to
caterers, liquor merchants and cigar
firms.
From the testimony adduced yester-
day it appeared that some of the ac-
counts had been outstanding as long
as two years.
E. C. Epps, representing the Shea
Bocqueraz company, stated to the court
that Avery had bought goods for the
club from his firm amounting to 1890,
but that he had received a note for
the amount from Avery signed by both
Avery and his wife.
From the testimony it appeared that
nearly all the claims of the different
merchants had been paid by the club
since Avery resigned his secretaryship.
The case will be resumed at 10 o'clock
this morning.

prospects OF encountering the Laguna
ledge.

tion of the company to work through
it. having secured perpetual right to

Definite word has been received by
the managers of the coming Pacific
coast championship tennis tournaments.
which will be begun on the Hotel del
Monte courts September z, continuing
until the 10Th, that three and perhaps
four star eastern players will compete.
They are Nathaniel Niles. the Harvard
champion; Wallace c. Johnson, inter-
scholastic champion, and Irving
Wright, brother of former Champion
Beals c. Wright
A fourth man is expected to make
the trip, in order that two doubles

has been in communication with the
tournament managers and may decide
to come to the coast. Alexander was
to have played against Beals c.. Wright
yesterday for the national champion
ship, but rain prevented the match. 1t
Is understood that his delay in giving
a definite answer regarding his coming
to Del Monte was due to a desire to
await the completion of the national
tournament and that the answer de-
pended upon the showing he made in

be the greatest every brought off on
the Pacific coast.
San Francisco will be strongly rep
resented in the championship events.
Among those who will go from here
will be Coast Champion Maurice Nc
Loughlin and former Champions James
and Long, while the juvenile star. Rob-
ert Strachan, whose sensational play
ing when he reached the finals in the
Santa Barbara tournament set the ten
mis- world agog, is expected again to
give good accounting of himself In
the fast company he will meet.
Great interest centers in the pros
pective matches between the Califor-
MIA players and those from the east.
Tennis tradition has 1t that since the
time of George Whitney the Pacific
coast has not developed one expert
that classed with the best beyond the
Rockies, but some fast players have
been developed here In the last year
or two. Local enthusiasts expect
Champion Mclaughlin to hold his own
In any company, despite his youth and
lack of great experience away from the
local courts.

INMATES SPIRITED
AWAY FROM HOUSES
Raids on immoral Places Result
in General Wedding Out
of Aliens

Alarmed at the arrest OF Jessie Hay
man and the raids made upon several of
the immoral houses in Commercial
street, San Francisco, and on the house
of Ill fame at 463 Fourth street, Oak
land, the proprietors OF these houses
are now conducting their illicit busi-
ness with much caution. In anticipa-
tion of additional raids from the fed
eral officers, the proprietors of the
houses have spirited away those OF the
inmates who have not been in the
United States more than three years.
Never before in the history of San
Francisco has there been such a far
reaching crusade against the immoral
houses as the one just started by the
federal officials. Jessie Hayman is
awaiting a hearing before United
States Commissioner Heacock on a
charge OF harboring an alien girl in her
house of Ill fame. The woman,s bonds
have been fixed at $4,000 and her hear
ing has been set for September 5.
The immigration officials are disap-
pointed because they did not effect the
capture OF the two men who brought
six Of the girls captured In Tuesdays s
raids to this country. The following
French girls were taken in the raid
made on the house at 72S Commercial
street. Buth Mabler. Anna Mosb. Elsie
Wolf and Bluma Biedeman The girls
arrested In the raid at 463 Fourth street

man fell into the tolls of United States
Marshal Elliott because she had Ethel
NJ Southwood, an English girl. who has
been In the United States only since last
March, in her house. She asserts the
Southwood girl was only a musician.
The 10 girls arrested Tuesday are
now confined in the Alameda county
jail Unless it is clearly proved that
they have been in the United States
more than three years they will be de-
ported. The burden of proof does not
rest with the government. 1t will be
necessary for each of the girls to give
the officials the information, which will
prove the time she came to the United
States.
Records are kept by the immigration
department in every port of entry in
the United States. which show the
names Of the persons entering the
country, the date. the steamer on which
they came, together with general de-
scription of their appearance. Lapse of
memory Will not save the girls. 1t is
absolutely necessary that they shall
prove conclusively that they have been
here more than three years The United
States immigration department has
made treaties with nearly all of the
foreign countries which make it possi-
bic to deport IN the case of immoral
aliens
Several kilograms have been received
from the eastern ports Of entry given
by the girls taken in the raid as the

SHIPPERS CHARGE
DISCRIMINATION
AIIege That the Railroads Are
Favoring Los Angeles
and Reno

Although called for the purpose of
perfeeting the organization OF trafnc
bureau as an adjunct of the merchants
exchange, the greater part of yester-
days meeting of the exchange was de-
voted to f1inging accusations at the
railroads, charging that discrimination
in many respects against the San Fran
cisco shippers in favor of the Los An
geles and Reno shippers has been made
by the transportation lines.
Steps were taken in the direction of
permanent organization when j. 0. Har
ron offered motion, which was sue
cessfully seconded, which called for
the appointment of committee on
rules and regulations. The appoint
ment was left in the hands Of r. p.
Rithet, temporary chairman of the
traffic association
Attention was first called to the rail-
road company's alleged discrimination
by A. l.. Scott, who declared that
charges were made against San Fran
cisco shippers which were never re-
quired Of the shippers In neighboring
large cities. He cited the charge made
by the Southern Pacific company of 20
cents for unloading; various switching
charges and a general higher arbi-
not exacted from the Los Angeles or
Reno merchants.
James Rolph Jr., president of the
merchants exchange, J. o. Harron of
the firm of Harron, Rickard & McCone
and Bruce Hayden of Dunham, Car
rigan & Hayden spoke upon the need
of organization. Harron declared that
central Nevada was gradually slip
ping away from San Francisco ship
pers. He urged that in order to main
tain the city's standing as a distribute
ing center San Francisco merchants
should work hard to regain the trad
ing territory which they had lost.
I'VE should interpose objections to
the acts of the railroads when they
are apt to harm our interests con-
cluded Harron
Bruce Hayden reiterated Scott's state
ment concerning railroad discrimina-
tion. He scored the merchants for
their slowness in organizing a traffic
bureau. and said that merchants were
derelict in their duty when they did
not join the traffic bureau.

Technicalities and Will
Hear Bribery Charge

The motion of the defendant to
transfer the cause is denied.
The motion of the defendant to put
in evidence, both direct and on cross
examination, is denied.
THE motion of the defendant to dis
miss the indictments is denied.
The motion OF the defendant to

cry of J. J. Furey. will set the trial
for Thursday, August 27, at 10 o'clock"
With four terse rulings and sue
cinct order Superior Judge William P
Lawlor yesterday noon cleared away
the litter of technicalities with which
Abe Ruef and his attorneys, Henry Ach
and Frank J. Murphy. have sought to
embarrass the proceedings of the graft
cases and indefinitely to delay the
course OF justice. He set this morn
ing as the date for beginning the trial
of Abe Ruef on an indictment involv-
ing the bribery OF Supervisor J. j.
Furey to secure the passage of the
overhead trolley franchise desired in
May, 1906. by the United Railroads
ACH MAKES STRENUOUS OBJECTION
Aclf, of course. was eloquent with OBJ
jections to the expedition of the court
He declared that he was surprised at
the ruling.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
stated that the case had been set for
trial some months previous and that the
hearing on the motions Just acted upon
by Judge Lawlor had been regularly
brought up on the day preceding the
day set for trial. He asserted that the
defendant had to be ready for trial at
any time during the hearing of the
motion.
Ruef who appeared in a May day
spring suit of delicate blue, opened the
MONDAY session with an affidavit filed
in support of his motion to have his
case transferred from the jurisdiction of
Judge Lawlor. Heney objected to the
affidavit on the ground that it con-
tained scandalous matter and In other
ways was inadmisible. In the docu-
ment Ruef asked that he be permitted
to introduce as witnesses Rabbis Nieto
and Kaplan, Bertha Weigle and F. A
Reese. He contended that their testf-
mony would disclose the iniquity of
Heney and William j. Burns. who, he
says, tried to force him to commit per-
jury. He further insolently contended
that Judge Lawlor was Of the legal
opinion that should Ruef put Heney
Burns and Langdon on the stand for
cross examination the result of the oral
investigation would be the granting of
the motion. Lawlor struck all that mat
er from the affidavit.
When that was out of the way Ach
moved to dismiss the indictments on
the ground that immunity had been
granted him and voiced other insults
against Heney and the court. All the
motions were denied by Judge Lawlor.
and this morning Ruef will face trial
for the first time in an Indictment in
