Efforts of CRATER to Escape Pro-
SecutiOn Fail

SAN FRANCISCO. April 2.--Abra-
ham Ruef, former political boss Of
this city, against whom more than
100 indictments charging bribery of
the former board of supervisors were
returned and whose preliminary legal
skirmishes to avoid trial have kept
some of the courts occupied for two
months. sustained three adverse rul-
Ings today, one in the superior court
and two In the appellate court.
Judge Maurice t. Dooling OF San
Benito county, requested by Judge
Frank p. Dunno to preside in the
latter's department OF the superior
court in the trial of Ruef. denied the
motion OF counsel for Ruef TO trans
fer the case to another court and re-
fused to make an order upon the
showing OF the defense disqualifying
himself. ruling that he was not
biased nor prejudieed and that he
was qualified to sit in the trial. The
district court of appeals also turned
down Ruef's petition for wriis OF pro-
hibition.
Henry Aeh and Frank J, Murphy,
counsel for Ruef, have made a
strong technical fight for two months
to prevent Ruef's trial. and were In

JERRY COCHRAN IN THE TOLLS
Is Charged With Assaulting Joseph
McCarty.


A warrant charging battery has
been issued out OF the court OF
Judge A. v. Chamberlin against
Jerry Cocoran. The complaint upon
which the warrant is based is pre-
ferred by Joseph McCarty, and
charges Cocoran with striking and
beating him.
Both men, 1t seems, as near as can
be learned, are staying at the home
of Jane Turner at Lacrosse. Cocor-
an, 1t is said, had been on a visit
to Spokane and returned in an In
toxicated condition and conducted
himself in an abusive manner toward
the woman, using abusive language
to Mrs. Turner and also treating her
in a violent manner. The woman, il
is said, ordered McCarty to hitch up
team and proceed to town and have
warrant sworn out for the arrest
of Cocoran. This he proceeded I'd do,
and he was met at the stable by Co
coran and a fight ensued between
the two. During the encounter, II
is said. McCarty used a club and
after delivering a severe thrashing
to Cocoran proceeded to town and
had a warrant sworn out for him
charging battery.
The warrant has been placed in
the hands of an officer, but no arrest
has so far been made.

Girl FOrger.
SPOKANE, Wash, April Mrs.
Charles Sweeny, wife of the million
aire mining man and mother OF
Frank Sweeny. whose name was
forged to two $40 checks, called at
the city jail yesterday morning and
held an earnest, motherly talk with
Eliza Schultz, the self-confessed forg-
er and former domestic in the
Sweeny household. Following the
conference between Mrs. Sweeny and
the girl, the former positively refused
to prosecute the young woman. The
police department was amazed fur
Their when George T. Crane of the
Crane Shoe company, which store
had cashed one of the bogus checks.
also refused to prosecute.
While Mrs. Sweeny was talking
with the accused young woman. the
latter broke down and wept, express
ing extreme sorrow for the mistake
she had made.
Accompanied by the matron of the
Salvation Army, who meets all young
women in trouble with the police au-
thorities, and who advises or COM
forts them, the young woman APP
peared in police court.
In Low Voice Girl Pleads Guilty.
Facing the court and in a voice in
audible to the gaping crowd of police
court habitues. the young woman
pleaded guilty to the charge of
forgery, and Justice Hinkle ordered
that she be held to trial in the su-
perior court. Prior to her arraign-
ment in police court the accused
woman had been confined in the
women's department of the city jail,
the other inmates being a negro
woman and a white woman, the lat
ter two accused of vagrancy.
Chief Rice and the police depart
ment, in searching the trunk of the
young woman yesterday, found other
evidence that led them to believe her
, unworthy of any deep sympathy. The
trunk is said to have yielded up ar
ticles of minor value that had for

Note the Postal Law.
60 IT is well to con-
~ slider this fact when

From now on all subscriptions
to The Chieftain must be paid in
advance. This is in accordance
with new ruling of the postal
department which declares th.t
no claims for circulation will be
allowed except those based on
actual paid subscriptions.
In order to be admitted to the
postofice the label on the wrap
per OF each paper must show
that the subscriber is not in ar
rears or receiving the paper
gratis.
The action of the postofhce de
partment makes it necessary for
all subscribers who receive their
paper through the mails, to pay
cash in advance.
While the new ruling may work
a temporary hardship on few
subscribers it is believed that the
general effect will be beneficial
for all concerned.
Send in your checks now and
thus get square with Uncle Sam
and The Chieftain at the same

WASHINGTON - Restaurant keep.
w ers who own cracked mugs must
not intrude them upon their patrons.
DR.. Wiley, Uncle Sans chemistry ex-
pert, says it is wrong.
The cracked mugs which have fallen
under the ban of DR.. Wiley are not
those known in some circles as badly
arranged faces or pounded visages.
They are rather the abused drinking
utensils which come bounding over
the counter at you when you enter a
hurry-up lunchery and hoist the cry:
"'Arf and 'arf," or draw one.'
DIR. Wiley says the crack in an ordi-
nary mug doing daily duty in lunch

the nation into decadence. Death of
horrible sort turks in these cracks.

NEW YORK is to build state prison
" which will be veritable palace
of crime, with all modern conven-
fences. 1t will include many of the fea-
lures which contribute to the success
of the city's biggest hotels, and in
every way will be a Jail so tempting
that 1t is feared many crooks will be
moved to adopt the prison as a per.
manent home.
Sing Sing is famed in story and has
sheltered more notorious criminals
than any similar institution in the
country, but it is to be superseded by
a 100000 structure on the opposite
side Of the Hudson. For months a com.
mittee has been searching for a site,
and the one selected is, it is claimed,
unrivaled in location even by any
summer home. Around this 1900, 900
establishment will be a mile-long stone
wall, so feet high, on top Of which it
has been facetiously proposed to in
stall a promenade which in criminal
society would correspond to the "a
nous board waQn at Atlantic City.
One of the advantages Of the new
site prominently mentioned in advo-
