mands Legal Advice.

mands Legal Advice.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 2S,---Jos-
eph E. Green of the Parkside Real
Estate company, demanded the priv
ilege of consulting an attorney be-
fore answering a question directed to
learn If he was a coconspirator with
Abraham Ruef. The incident oe-
Cured while he was acting as a wit
ness in Police Judge Cabanniss' court
during the preliminary examination
of Ruef on a charge of offering a
bride to ex-Superyisor J. j. Furr in
1906 to pass the Parkside trolley
ordinance.
Prosecuting Attorney Louis Ward
asked Green whether he, as president
of the PaT2side Realty company, had
taken any action toward paying any
money to Ruef in connection with the
trolley franchise. This was the in
terrogation to which the witness de-
elined to reply. 1t was occasioned
by the statement of Attorney New
bergh for Ruef that It was necessary
for the prosecution TO state whether
Green was to be considered as a co
conspirator with the defendant

TELL STORIES
THAT CONFLICT
Spaulding and Sales Disagree as to
How Auditorium Fire Started

Charles Spaulding and Glenn Sales.
who were arrested yesterday on sus-
picion of being connected with or
possessing some knowledge concern
ing the burning of the opera house.
are still held in the custody of the
sheriff at Rathdrum pending further
developments In the case.
Both men were put through a
thorough sweating process last night
by the prosecuting attorney and the
sheriff's officials, but 1t succeeded In
bringing forth nothing beyond the
fact that there is a difference between
the story told by the two on one ma
terial point, and otherwise IL Is the
same. The point upon which the
two differ is that matches were used
by Spaulding when he arose to go
down town. Spaulding claims that
he did not light a match at this time,
and that he has no knowledge of any
matches being used at the time or at
any other time during the night
while they were there. Sales, on the
other hand, maintains that when
Spaulding arose he III a match for
the purpose of finding the electric
light in the room, and gives 1t as
his opinion that this match fell or
was inadvertently thrown between
the walls of the room in which they
were sleeping. The walls of the
room had not been boarded, and this
left an opening around 1t into which
had been swept all the trash and
other matters accommodating In the
room. Sales is of the impression
that the match fell between these
walls, and that 1t ignited this matter
lying between them. and that In this
way the fire was started. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Potts this morning was
asked IL he had taken any legal ae-
tion against the two men and stated
that he had not He was also asked
whether he contemplated taking any,
and stated that upon that point he
had not arrived az decision.
The various lodges which used the
upper portion OF the building for a
hail have not selected any perman-
ent meeting place and a number have
not yet decided upon a temporary
hall The knights OF Pythias will
temporarily occupy the Company G
armory. but the Pythian sisters have
made no arrangements. The Odd
Fellows have made no temporary ar
rangement nor has the auxiliary
lodge, the Rebekkas, but expect to
have a meeting tonight for that pur-
pose. The knights Templar will
meet this evening at the pavilion and
discuss the matter of a hall for that
lodge, and also the other branch
lodges of Masonry. The general ex-
pressions from members of this lodge
seem to indicate that they will favor
the construction of a temple upon the
lots which they purchased some time
ago.

Loeb or Long?

Washington, June 22.-Repub- blican leaders in the city say that either Secretary Loeb or Senator Long of Kansas will be selected eventually to manage the Republican campaign. A hint is dropped, however, that Frank
 H. Hitchcock was just playing ''possum" in withdrawing his name from the consideration for the job.
 Secretary Loeb has had the job offered to him but declined. It is expected that Representa- tive Sherman would be glad to see Loeb directing affairs and that 8 united effort will be made to induce Loeb to change his mind.
 The feeling is widespread that Arthur l. Vorys has been elimin- ated.

Cases Postponed

Little Rock, June 23.-With one exception, all poodle case. have been postponed and will not come up for trial until fa:l. Prosecuting Attorney Roy D. Campbell this morning appeared before Judge k. J. Lea and in- formed him it would be impossi- ble for him to familiarize him- self with the poodle cases in the short time intervening before the dates upon which they are set, and asked that the cases be continued for the term. John II Holland, senator from Sebastian n County objected so far as his case is concerned. He ex- plained that he is a candidate for recollection and his trial must come up before the election. He soon fixed matters with Prose cutting Attorney Campbell so this case will be called July 20 and tried upon that day without fail. The other cases were then postponed for the term, there te- ing no rush about them.
 The trial of Senator Holland, who is charged with perjury for the alleged denial of receiving sum of money to influence his vote in railroad legislation dur ing the Legislature of 1905, was originally set for July 13. This date did not seem to Senator Holland to be the proper one up on which to go to trial, the num- Der being unpopular, so he asked for a new setting, and July 29 was then agreed upon.

It bears the cabalistic signs of the old Katipunan society and denounces Americans. saying they brought ty- ranny instead of liberty and their pur- pose is to rob and enslave the Fili- pinos.

 Pending open revolution, it urges a campaign involving the assassination of invading Americans. burning of homes and killing of animals. It concludes with the wish for long life to the Filipinos" and death to the Americans"

IS TRANSPARENT FRAUD.
Anti-lnjunction Plank So Termed
 by Bryan.
CRITICISM IN COMMONER.

Only Charitable View, Says Article, Is
 Convention Was Buncoed by Some
 Trust Lawyer and Taft Still Favsrs
 Use of Statute.
 Lincoln, Neb., June 23.-Following up his expression in criticism of the Republican national platform in gen. eral, Hon. w. J. Bryan gave out a statement in which he assails in partic. slar the anti-injunction plank of the Chicago declaration, characterizing it as "a transparent fraud" The statement, which will appear under the heading, Republicans Deceiving Labor" fin the next issue of Mir. Bry. ans Commoner, in part is as follows:
 "The anti-unjuction plank of the Re. publican platform, as finally adopted, is a transparent fraud.
 Tt is possible that the members of the committee were buncoed by some trust lawyer-that is the only char. itable view that can be taken of it.. Those who advocated the plank claim ed to be doing 1t as concession to the wage earner. and yet. If one will read the plank, he will soon see that 1t is in fact announcement that the Repub- lcan party is unalterably opposed to the laboring mans position. The plank reads as follows:
 The Republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integri- ty of the courts, state and Federal, and will ever insist that their powers to enforce their processes and to pro. tect life, liberty and property shall be preserved inviolate. We believe, how ever, that the rules of procedure in Federal courts, with respect to the is. suance of writ of injunction should eb more accurately defined by the stat ute, that no injunction or temporary restraining order should be issued without notice. except where insepa. rable injury would result from delay, in which case speedy hearing there after should be granted
 Tt will be seen that the plank be- gins with an unnecessary eulogy of the courts. Nobody is opposed to up holding at all times the authority and integrity of the courts. Nobody is ob- jecting to the enforcement of their PioNCsoCo UT to NHciT eAtTClSe OI tHelT powers to protect life. liberty and property. The plank assumes that somebody Is attacking the courts. and that these courts are in danger of los ing support, or of having their powers weakened"
 The articles concludes thus: "Secre- tary Taft is known as the father of government by injunction, and his speeches in Oklahoma last year gave conclusive proof of his adherence to the position taken by him on the bench. He is still in favor of the use of writ of injunction in labor cases, and he is opposed to trial by jury.
 Tn speech delivered at New York last winter he said. in response to questions. that the law ought to be so amended as to give a hearing be. fore the injunction was granted, and even consent that the hearing for con. tempt should be before different judge from the one who granted the injunction, but when he came to pre-. pare plank for the convention he did not go so far as he went in his speech, The plank that went before the convention as his plank was so weak that it amounted to nothing; but it was even then too strong for the
