RUFF FILES AFFIDAVIT IN
TROLLEY BRIBERY CASE
Declares That First Persons to Try
to Induce Him to Accept Inn
munity Were Two
Supervisors

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 4.-Abra-
ham Ruef today filed another affidavit
in the trolley bribery case, in which
he was jointly indicted with Patrick
Calhoun. Thornwell Mullaly, TREY L.
Ford and Eugene E. Schmitz, in which
document he makes the statement for
the first time that the first persons to
try TO induce him to accept immunity
and give testimony against the others
indicted were from Supervisors James
L. Gallagher and Andrew M. Wilson
The purpose of this affidavit, he says,
is to show the court that he gave up
an important safeguard in the French
restaurant case because he had faith in
the word of the prosecution when they
later offered him immunity, and he
signed a contract with them.
He says on May Is. 1907, he made the
stipulation that he was to be given i'm
munity upon the dismissal of his ap-
plication for bail pending before the
supreme court.
Detective Burns. he says. informed
him previously that these supervisors
would call on him and talk the matter
over and that they were authorized by
Burns, Heney and Spreckels to offer
complete immunity.

NEW YORK, March Although
Mrs. Margaret Dunn died, physicians
say, while seated in a big armchair
gazing out of the front window of her
house on Berry street. Williamsburg.
some time last Saturday, the fact of
her death was not discovered until
yesterday.
Passerby, in the interim, who saw
Mrs. Dunn at her accustomed place at
the window, merely glanced up at the
familiar sight and thought nothing of
her constantly maintained position.
According to her friends it had long
been a habit of Mrs. Dunn to maintain
her vigil at the window She was not
without a reason for it. Her aged hus-
band, it is said, disappeared about a
month ago while apparently Temporal
rily deranged, forgetting where he
lived While out walking. 1t was several
days before he came home finding the
place at last because, while passing
through the street, he happened to see
his wife at the window watching for
him, the sight apparently restoring his
senses. Then he disappeared again last
week. Mrs. Dunn notified the police
and resumed her place at the window.
Yesterday two little girls of the
neighborhood, getting no response to
their customary greeting, a wave of the
hand, entered the house to speak to
their friend. When she failed to an
swer them they became alarmed and
an investigation revealed the fact that
the aged woman had been dead in front
Of the window since Saturday. Her
husband is still missing.

OF DISPUTE
NOW SOUGHT
MARINE ENGINEERS PREPARED
TO MAKE CONCESSIONS
CONFERENCE WITH SCHOONER
OWNERS is PLANNED
Basis of Compromise Not Announced
but New Basis of Arbitration
Is agreed Upon at San
Francisco
Ru Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-Nego-
tiations looking to a settlement OF the
differences between the Marine En-
gineers' association and the steam
schooner owners of the coast will be
orened tomorrow, when new commit
tee from the engineers will call upon
the owners committee and ask that
Il conference be held for settlement.
The engineers committe will put in
motion the fleet of Iumber-carrylng
steam schooners that has been laid
ur for six weeks pending the settle
ment of the controversy.
The new committee, the third that
has been appointed by the engineers,
is composed entirely of engineers who
have been operating steam schooners.
Just what the basis of the compro-
mise will be is not definitely decided. but
it is understood the engineers will go
to the owners prepared to arbitrate
the dispute upon the basis of indicated
horsepower of the vessels, together
with the distances required on the vari-
Gus voyages.
The owners have already stated they
would arbitrate on this new basis. and
there is a likelihood that compromise
will be effected before the end of the
week.
May Demand Full Crews
1t is understood the engineers will
insist upon a full crew for long voy-
ages, but will meet the owners half
way concerning ships travelling short
distances. As this is the real point of
the trouble, d compromise is expected
by both sides.
The steam schooner Francis H. Leg
sett, which was compelled to put back
to port Monday on account of inabil-
ity of her engine crew to run the ves-
sci, cleared today with an oil expert
il. the engine room to superintend the
fires. The schooner Butler also cleared.
These are the only vessels running
with non-a.ssociation crews.
An agreement was signed today be-
tween the marine engineers and the
owners of the schooner Sea Foam.
whereby the vessal will be allowed to
ship with association engineers to Al
f'on, with supplies. II is understood no
lumber will be carried on the return
trip. The engineers say they will put
no obstacles in the way of provisioning
the northern ports which have no rail
connections with San Francisco, when
the owners have not been able to get
sny non-association engineers to run
these boats.
1t was learned today that the owners
lad sent to the Marine Engineers as
sociation at Cleveland, asking for fifty
engineers. The Cleveland association
Hired the local association to learn If
there was any trouble, and being in
formed there is, no engineers will be
