QUALIFY ON RUFF BONDS
Judge Cabaniss Fixes Amount
on Charge of Bribing Ex-
Supervisor Furey

An application was made to Police
Judge Cabaniss yesterday by Attorney
A S. Newburgh to release Abe Ruef on
bonds on the charge of bribing John J..
Furey, eX-supervisor, in regard to the
Parkside franchise. The judge fixed
the bonds at $4,000.
Ludwig NJ Seeliger, capitalist, 1920
Mission street, one of the sureties,
qualified upon property valued at $40,-
900, at 522 and 524 Third street near
Bryant, and property valued at $4,000,
at Twenty ninth and Mission streets; i;
the latter he held jointly with his wife.
There was mortgage OF $5,O0O on the
Third street property, but he had $4,000
on deposit in the San Francisco savings
union to meet it.
Assistant District Attorney Deasy in
sisted upon documentary evidence be-
ing produced, but the judge thought
that Seelinger's oath was sufficient. He
would eliminate, however, the property
at Twenty ninth and Mission streets,
as it was held in the joint names of
Seelinger and wife.
Attorney Newburgh qualified as the
other surety on two first mortgage
bonds of the Nevada City railroad, val
ued at $1,000 each, and two bonds OF
the Pacific gas and electric light COM
pany, valued at $1,000 each. He also
showed his bank book with deposit of
81, 900 with the Union trust company.
Deasy objected to bonds being ac-
cepted as security, as they were easily
negotiable, but the judge said he was
pose of the bonds and accepted him.
The bonds will be available only In
the event of Ruef being released by or
der of Judge Murasky.

EAST FAVORED IN
CANAL CONTRACTS
Pacific Coast Merchants Seek
Share in Big Order for
FOOdstuffs

Isthmian canal commission circular
No 1852. calling for sealed proposals
for commissary foodstuffs, etc, has
caused considerable comment. among
local merchants and manufacturers on
account of the delivery point OF these
supplies being at either New York or
New Orleans. Pacific coast merchants
are unable to bid on these supplies be-
cause of the delivery being on the At
lantic coast or on the gulf. Nearly all
of the foodstuff required are California
products and the merchants of this
state cannot furnish the supplies at as
low rate at New York or New Or
leans as their eastern competitors.
The chamber of commerce has taken
the matter up and sent the following
kilograms yesterday to the purchasing
agent of the canal commission, the pu-
chasing agent of the Panama railroad
in Washington and to the assistant
purchasing agent of the Panama rail-
road in New York:
Pacific coast merchants unable TO
bid on circular proposal No. p 152 ac-

A telegram was also sent to the same
parties requesting information as to
whether they would require any
amount of produce, particularly pota-
toes and onions. California Will pro-
duce an unusually large crop OF pota-
toes and onions this year and the grow
ers are seeking outside buyers SO as
to prevent any part of the crop from
going to waste.
The supplies purchased under thls
circular will cost several hundred thou-
sand dollars and the California mer-
chants feel that they should be en-
titled to some share of the order.

required:

be a dramatic pose he read from an
article in an afternoon paper not in

asked that steps be taken to cite the
paper for contempt of court for what
he persisted was an effort to influence
Judge Murasky against Ruef. Judge
Murasky quickly cut the attorney
short.
