was not an accomplice of Abraham
Ruef who was being tried for max
ing the offer.
Judge Dooling further instructed
the jury that the test as to whether
or not witness was an accOmplice
is, Gould the witness be indicted
for the particular offense for which
the defendant is then on trial?'
In other words, the test as to
whether or not Jennings Phillips
was an accomplice in the case then
on trial against Ruef was, Gould
Jennings Phillips be indicted for
offering bride to himself to in
fluence his own vote?" OF course,
| it logically follows that If a man
| could be indicted for Offering a
bride to himself to influence his
own vote, he could also be indicted
for paying a bride to himself to in
fuence his own vote. AS Juni.s
said, This is an absurdity so pro-
found it would startle the brain of
an idiot"
1t is impossible to believe, there
fore, that any one of the six jurors
who voted for acquittal did so be-
cause he believed all of the wit
nesses were accomplices within the
meaning of the law, which required
the testimony Of an accomplice to
be corroborated by Independent
evidence connecting the defendant
with the crime.
The Examiner, owned by VIM.
R. Hearst, and the Chronicle,
owned by M. H. de Young, have
stated that some of the jurors
voted for acquittal because there
was too much immunity" If we
accept this statement as authorized
/ by any juror or jurors it necessarily
follows that such juror or jurors
committed perjury, because each
and every one of the jurors testi-
fed under oath when being exam
ined as to his qualifications, that
he would not permit his verdict to
be influenced by the fact that i'm
munity had been granted to any
number of accomplices.
No juror who voted for acquittal
and no newspaper which is subsi-
died by the wealthy criminals, can
offer any reasonable excuse for the
votes in favor of the acquittal OF
Ruef.
The whole matter is susceptible
of a very simple explanation. The
fact is that the wealthy criminals
have entered into an alliance with
, Ruef to protect him against con
viction in consideration for his re
framing from testifying against
them. The criminals art thorough
lily organized to defeat justice, ant
are perniciously active in their eff
forts to accomplish that end
, whereas the law-abiding citizens
are resting secure in the belief thai
no organization and no effort is
necessary on their part to preserve
the integrity of their courts or tt
, enable their officials TO enforce the
law.
The public mind is confused in
regard to the issues and in regard
!, to the facts, because the Chronicle
: and Examiner are in the employ OF

SHARP POLITICS
IN TERRITORIES
BY gibson GARDNER

CHICAGO, June 15.-Since Fair
banks managers stole six dele
gates from Alaska, and then had
them taken away from them by the
national committee, there has not
been much attention paid the terri
torial delegates. There used to be
more delegates allotted to the ter
ritories. and 1t was supposed that
Alaska would have six in this con-
yention.
Acting on this supposition, a
friend of Fairbanks went up there
early last fall and held a conven-
tion and chose six delegates, all
Instructed for Fairbanks. Then
what did the committee do but
come together and decide but two
come togther and decide that the
territories should have but two

MAYOR SAYS THEY CAN FIRE
AND HIRE AS THEY PLEASE,
AND THE FIRING is DUE TO
BEGIN,

81 have made up my mind to
have nothing to do with the ap-
pointment of men under the super
vision of the board of works"
stated Mayor Moore this morning.
Il shall let each member of the
board of works attend to his own
department and hire and fire whom
he pleases."
Which is taken to mean that a
lot of firing" is imminent.
Among the first slated to go are
P. F. Harmon, foreman of the city
barns, who has charge of from 10
to Is men, and Al Tillish, foreman
of the street department. 1t is only
a question of q few days with
them. They will probably remain
until the last of the month. Many
applications for their jobs are I'M
der consideration.
TIL board of works was reorgan-
lied this morning. John WeHei,
formerly street commissioner, was
elected president and head of the
water department. w. w. Wither-
spoon, J. T. Omo's successor, takes
Wetzel's place as head of the
street and police departments,
and J. T. O'Brien, former presi-
dent, is made secretary of the
board, purchasing agent and fire
commissioner, the place he held be-
fore being shifted for expediency.

originally the purpose was TO
pledge the two delegates from this
territory TO him. But the federal
officeholders got busy, and another
convention was held in the interest
OF Taft. But nc instructions were
secured, and the Arizona delegates
will go where they feel disposed.
The District of Columbia dele

though they are supposed to be
for Cannon. They were not in

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, June 15-Eugene
Walter, former newspaper reporter,
has jumped into fame in the the
atrical world. One day he was an
unknown. The next day everybody
in New York who could read the
papers knew about him. Within
three days his name was known
from one end of this country to the
other, and in London.
Walter, five or six years ago,

military life 1t was near-aood and
a near-success. Walter returned to

Finally at the tag end of the the

prove to Walter that he couldn't
write play.

pers announced the arrival of a
new playwright.
"If anybody needed success

declined to admit Walter when he

call. Then they sent messenger
