FORD AND RUFF
TO GO ON TRIAL
PROSECUTION TO CARRY ON
TWO CASES
HENEY MAY SEEK JoHNsoN's
ASSISTANCE
Judge Lawlor Rules Adversely on
Plea of Defense That He Be
Disqualified from Pre-
siding
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-District
Attorney Langdon announced today
that the trials of TREY l.. Ford of the
United Railroads and Abraham Ruef
would be conducted at the same time
in two different departments of the SUI
perior court. 1t is said that to do this
1t will be necessary for the prosecution
to employ special counsel.
According to the plans mapped out
by the district attorney Francis j.
Heney will conduct the trial of Ruef
before Judge Dooling, which will begin
tomorrow morning with the drawing of
jury. Heney will, no doubt, ask the
assistance of Assistant District Attor-
ney John O'Gara.
1t will then be necessary for special
counsel to conduct the Ford case,
which will begin Thursday morning. In
this respect the name of Hiram John
son, who acted in the Schmitz case, has
been suggested, but without vertical
ton.
The juries will be drawn from the
new panel selected at the beginning of
the year.
Judge Lawlor today, after denying
the motion of the defense in the trolley
cases to disqualify him, ordered that
the jury be In court Thursday morning
to be used in the Ford case. Ford is to
be tried on indictment 812, that charg-
ing him with offering bribe to former
Supervisor Daniel G. Coleman. A stip-
ulation was made that the defense be
allowed forty days in which to prepare
its bill of exceptions Attorney A. A.
Moore wanted further delay before
the trial was begun, but 1t was ordered
continued until Thursday.
The other trolley cases, involving
Ford, Patrick Calhoun, Thornwell Null
lally and w. M. Abbott, were continued
until April 20, against the objection of
the defense. Attorney Moore still per-
sisted that Patrick Calhoun should be
the first of the trolley defendants to be
tried.
Ford read to the court an amend
ment to his plea of not guilty, made
September last. It reads:
I'm addition to his plea of not guilty
made herein the defendant pleads that
he has already been acquitted of the
offense charged and that he has al
ready been in jeopardy for the offense
charged"
The prosecution entered a denial to
the additional plea, and Judge Lawlor
seemed of the opinion that It was for
the jury to decide.

CITY STILL OWES ON
INCINERATOR PLANT
COUNCIL FACES UNEXPECTED
BILL OF $12,5OO
Decarle Company Assigns Claim Due
Last Week and the Board of
Public Works Presents
Demand

The board Of public works revealed
an unlooked-for bill yesterday for the
city council when it sent up correspond
the Decarie Manufacturing company for
putting in garbage incinerator in Los
Angeles, among which is an assignment
from the Decarie company to N. F.
Hugo of the final payment of $12,5O0,
which was due on March rs, 1908.
The First National bank now holds an
assignment from Hugo, and the board
has been requested verbally to present
a demand for the amount now due. The
board referred the matter to the coun-
Gil, as no appropriation was made in the
budget for the street department for
the present fiscal year for the payment
of this claim of $12,500.
In pursuance of contract made by a
former council with the Decarie COM
pany the board recommended that a
demand be drawn upon some available
fund to pay this claim.
Though the city council made no ap-
preparation for buying teams and wag-
ons for carrying carcasses the special
committee named to arrange the details
has hired a team, wagon and driver at
Sc a day to be on call ready to answer
all messages to collect dead animals.
The committee recommended that an
ordinance be passed requiring all per-
sons who have dead animals to immedt-
ately notify the chief of police of the
facts or deliver them to the city incin-
orator.
1t is proposed to charge 1895 each for
the removal of horses, mules, cows,
steers or animals of that size. and SLAB
each for dogs, sheep, goats, pigs or sim
liar sized animals.
The garbage collectors will take care
of cats, chickens and small dogs.
Inspector of Public Works d. K. Ed
wards says there is an old ordinance on
the hooks making the police responsible
for the removal of such carcasses,
hence he fails to see why his depart
ment should be charged with this work.

In all probability the exact date Of

LARGE CROWD GOING
TO SAN PEDRO FIGHT
Fans Attracted by Match Between
Montana Kid and Frank Plcato at
Twenty Rounds for Wednes-
day Night

No fight that the San Pedro club ever
staged attracted the attention OF Los
Angeles fans in the degree that attaches
to the twenty-round mill scheduled for
tomorrow night, In which Montana Kid
and Frank Picato are to be the princi-
pals. The result is that probably the
greatest number of fans that ever went
from Los Angeles to any fight will go
to the harbor city tomorrow evening.
According to the plans already arrang-
ed the bunch will leave on the car that
goes at about $3.50 o'clock and as the
electric railway company has promised
that there shall be no difficulty In get
ting cars back to Los Angeles after the
fight many will attend who otherwise
could not take the risk of having to
stay over night by the seaside.
Picato has made such a great record
in his short career in the ring that the
fans are expecting a stiff battle be-
tween the boys, while the friends Of
Montana Kid, who always has been re-
garded as topnotcher in the light
weight division, are anxious to see him
get back on top and will attend the
fight In the expectation of seeing him
defeat the italian. 1t will be case of
an experienced, clever slugger against
a green hand with pair of terrific
wallops, a game heart and good speed,
with fair knowledge of the fine points
of the game thrown in. Two prelims
are arranged as curtain raisers.

Beginning Friday and all day and
night yesterday, the Hudson river from
the Battery to 125th street has been
simply alive with Lafayettes. Every
pier along the water front has been
lined with fishermen, fisherboys and

Such a lot OF fish has seldom ever
invaded the river. The Lafayettes bite
anything. The Lafayette is what Is
known as pan fish and few are longer
than five inches. The average is four
inches. 1t is one of the most veracious
of small fish and one of the most de-
licious as far as edible qualities are
concerned. Those who caught a mess
Sunday were back again yesterday
for more.
