NEWBURGH CAUSES DELAY
Ruef'S Attorney Tries to Bully
Court and Prosecutor

Though oft repeated, the story of
the manner in which Abe Ruef's graft
ing hand polluted the municipal chan
nels of San Francisco was of sufficient
interest to crowd a courtroom yester-
day when big Jim" Gallagher contin-
ued his testimony in the police court
presided over by Judge Cabaniss.
Gallagher reiterated his former
statements. He went into all the
shameful details of the bribe giving
and bribe taking, of purchased votes
and degraded supervisors and showed
behind all the greedy cunning of Ruef.
Attorney Newburgh, for the defense,
He objected and then withdrew the
objection. He tried to bully the court
and was promptly reprimanded. He
tried to insult Heney and was given d
dose of his own medicine.
Though Ruef was on trial, New
burgh was the chief attraction yester-
day. He opened the proceedings by
appearing in court half an hour late
and was accordingly hauled over the
carpet. Later on he tried a particu-
larly offensive and uncouth way of ad-
dressing the court. Wait a minute
Judge Cabaniss. He did this two or
three times and was again placed on
the pan and roasted. He then directed
his shafts at Heney.
Il don't travel in your class" he
burst out once.
Perfectly evident" replied Heney,
sitting a yawn.
On account OF Newburgh not much
testimony was heard. That which did
come out between the ripple of objec-
tions dealt with the gas rate, the prize
fight trust and the Pacific States tele-
phone company. Gallagher testified to
Ruef giving him money to distribute
among the other supervisors, with the
understanding that they should vote
for these deals according to the wishes
of the curly headed boss. The case
will be continued this afternoon.

HOLDS RUFF
BOND is FORFEITED
Aetna Indemnity Company Fails
TO Secure Release for Obli-
CATION for 100000
Judge Declares HabeaS Corpus
and Writ of Error Proceed
ings Were Fraudulent

The Aetna indemnity company got
little comfort in Judge Dunne's court
yesterday from its application through
Attorney Hartley f. Peart to have
vacated the order made in the extortion
cases forfeiting the 100000 bond under
which Abe Ruef stood when he hid him
self in the Trocadero. Peart based his
plea on the ground that the surety
company surrendered Ruef to Sheriff
O'Neil and received a signed receipt
from him at the time the boodler gave
himself up for the purpose of applying
to Judge Hebbard for writ of habeas
corpus.
"Thenceforth he was out of the COM
panys custody, and can the company
be held responsible for the failure of
the sheriff to do his duty?" asked Peart
The city ought to have this
100000" answered the judge. Your
company was under bonds to produce
the defendant and failed to do so. The
entire habeas corpus and writ of error
proceedings before Judge Hebbard
were a miserable fraud on the part of
Ruef and, whether Willingly or unwit-
tingly, the surety company was a party
to the fraud. No transfer Of the pris-
oner from the company to the sheriff
was made. He was simply allowed to
go free and the surety company should
be held responsible"
After argument between Peart and
Assistant District Attorney William
Hoff Cook, Peart said that the fail
ure of the district attorney to bring
suit within year for the recovery of
the money was another reason why the
order snould be vacated.
Judge Dunno agreed to take the mat
ter under submission. The court. am
convinced, very properly ordered the
bonds forfeited" be observed. Nobody
is permitted to fool with the law nor
to batter the peoples rights in this
court. The surrender of Ruef to the
sheriff was not made in good faith, and
it never operated either physically or
legally because the sheriff never pro-
duced him. The fact that the district
attorney has not brought suit for the
recovery of the money has no bearing
on the matter of vacating this order"

Three short plays, "A Maker of Men,"

Ellington and Bruce McRae in the cast
presenting a picture of an unsuccessful

wife and children, and the second being
a story of a wandering musician. his
daughter and a choleric but warm
hearted grandfather, well acted by
Richard Malchien, Minnie Lee, John

modernized version of the trial scene,
is remarkably clever little skit. full

GAS CORPORATION
SEEKS INJUNCTION
Follows Lead OF Spring Valley
and May Try to Make
Rate of $l.20
Asks That City Officials Be
Compelled to Annul Tariff
of Two Years Ago

Following the lead set by the
Spring Valley water company in at
tempting to enjoin the city from en-
forcing the ordinance establishing the
water rate. the San Francisco gas and
electric company yesterday fled suit
in the United States circuit court
based on similar plea and on similar
allegations. The company demands
that the city be enjoined from en-
forcing the So cent gas rate. which
| is identical with the rate that the
company bribed the boodling board
OF supervisors to establish. and that
the ordinance establishing this rate be
declared void
Gas at s1.20. instead of at S5 cents
is understood to be the ultimate object
OF the suit. although the officials of
the company carefully refrain from dis
cussing a rate which they would con-
slider fair
WOULD ANNUL RATE
The suit does not ask the court to
determine fair rate, but only to annul
the rate now existing, on the ground
that 1T is oppressive and cOnfiscatory.
the company's plan being, in the event
| it should win this point, to establish
any rate it may desire.
| This is exactly what the Spring VAL
ley water company is attempting to
do, in the face Of the contention by the
city's attorneys that the constitution
prohibits any public service corporation
from establishing it's own rates. but
gives this power explicitly and solely
to the board of supervisors.
The suit of the gas company prob
ably will follow along the identical
lines pursued in the water litigation.
The papers filed yesterday include an
application citing the city and county,
the mayor and the board of supervisors
to show cause why a temporary in
junction should not issue to restrain
the city from enforcing the So cent
rate ordinance. and an application for
decree invalidating the ordinance.
The citation is returnable July Is be-
fore Judge Van Fleet.
GIVES PARTIAL RECEIPTS
The papers as originally drawn con-
tained a request for a temporary re-
training order to become effective at
once, but this demand was withdrawn
when the case was presented to the
court. The company will make no ef-
fort to collect more than S5 cents from
consumers while the litigation is pend
ing, but. instead of giving receipts for
payment in full, will only receipt for
partial payment at the S5 cent rate. re-
tanning the right to collect the differ
ence between this amount and any rate
it might see fit to establish in the
event that 1t Is successful in Its suit
In general, the claim of the company
is that an S5 cent rate allows it no
margin for profit, but deprlves it of
its property and forces it to operate at
loss. In the present hearing it will
not attempt to establish what it claims
is fair rate. but will only seek to
nullify the existing one.
President John A. Britton refused to
say yesterday what rate the company
would demand in case of its success
in multiplying the IS cent rate. but its
previous claims and contentious make
it almost certain that it will attempt
to establish the $1.20 rate.

establishing new record
for the motoring classic Of

markable feature of this long

that the car covered the last

same time as on the fast

ranged for the run south.

~ ALICE SPTlI1XS @flrr1
On August 5th a White
Steamer won the Free-For-
All at the Witter Springs
Hill Climb, covering the two
and a half miles of heavy
grade in minutes and 40
seconds, which was faster
time than scored by any gas
Oline machine, regardless OF
price or horsepower.
The White has won so
many important hill climbs
that its superiority In this
style Of competition is no
longer questioned. The rea-
sons for this superiority may
be stated as follows:
l., The White engine, when
called upon to do so, can
probably develop more power
than any other type.
2 1t is certain that a larger
percentage of the power OF
the engine is delivered at the
rear wheels in the White than
in any other machine. This
was proven with mathematf-
cal exactness in the great
English contest at South
Harting, held for the purpose
Of determining this point.
3. The question Of proper
gearing for different gradi-
ents is not q vital one in
the case Of the White, as The
car adapts itself perfectly to
varying conditions. In other
words, the unique flexibility
of the White is OF consider
able advantage in hill climb
