HoMEWARD JOURNEY OF
FLEET is BEING PLANNED
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Eless'
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Now that
it has been practically determined by
the president that the Atlantic battle
ship fleet shall return to the Atlantic
by way of Suez. the near approach OF
the feet to it's original destination,
the California coast, has bade 1t neces-
sary for the naval officials to arrange
the details of the itinerary for the
homeward movement.
Already several conferences have been
held upon this subject between the
president and Secretary Metcalf, Ad-
miral Pillsbury and Admiral Cowles,
the latter being specially charged with
the duty of coaling the fleet. The last
conference held was intended to place
Secretary Metcalf in possession of
full information as to what had been
accomplished by the bureau chiefs in
preparation for the cruise.
Admiral Cowles has already dis
patched large stores of coal to the Ha-
waiian islands and to Manila and he
has further ascertained Just how much
coal he can obtain at Port Said and
the price he will have to pay for It..
This is as far as he can go in the alb
sence of official instructions to pur-
chase.
1t is the business of Admiral Pills
bury to prepare these orders and he
has already, after consulting his as
sistants in the navigation bureau, been
able to frame them and lay them be-
fore the president.
1t is expected that in the course of a
few days the formal orders will be
issued and Immediately all of the plans
that have been SO carefully worked out
for the fleets return movements will
be put in execution. The point of doubt
is the disposition to be made of
the ships upon their arrival in Asiatic
waters, for while it is reasonably cer-
tain that some of them will be sent
to Japan, 1t is not known whether the
movement in that direction will be gem
eral or confined to about four repre-
sentative ships.

FIRE CHIEF RISKS LIFE
TO RESCUE SLEEPERs
by Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, March I'm
fire which probably started from the
spontaneous combustion of rags soaked
in paint ard oil. in tn rear of the Mid
way dance hall and saloon at AIS Pa
cific street this morning, three buildings
were completely demolished and sew
eral sleeping persons narrowly escaped
death rom the flames.
Fire Chief Cook from the jackson
street station, who answered the call
of alarm and Ven into one of the burn
ing shacks to rescue women who were
supposed to be sleeping there, nearly
succumbed to the Sitting smoke and
fumes from the redhot corrugated iron
and was obliged to crawl on his hands
and knees over the floor, which threat
ened to collapse at any moment and
precipitate him into the flaming fur
mace.
That there We're no lives lost is due
TO the vigilance and promptness of the
fire department officers who dragged
the sleeping and dazed inmates out of
their beds and forced them out of the
window into the net in the hands of
firemen in the street below. The prop
erty loss was about $4,000

FLEET MAY ANCHOR
IN SAN PEDRO HARBOR
Confined from Page one,

by the brealxwater. now about 1000 feet
long, with the record of wind ana wave
showing, in the EXTREMIST violence, no
danger to craft so harbored, IL Is pe-
lieved there will be little difhculty IN
convincing the fleet officers of the tri-
umph. of the treatment Of San PEDRO
harbor. Captain Fries estimates that
the eleven ships inside the hreakwaier
will need 800 feet swinging room, Win
a radiura of $50 feet, and 100 feet clear
ance. The others may have the same
or larger areas.
But the important fact demonstrated
is that, sheltering Admiral Evans nee'
with the present improvement, q con
tinuation of the work would increase
its capacity until the navy of nation
could find safe shelter in IT. Inc
straight dotted line shows the planned
extension of this breakwater, follow,nk
as it does the eight fathom depth. inls
extension is to begin 1000 feet from tne
terminus of the breakwater now al
most completed, and is to continue 10
point opposite the Long Beach harpor'
Admiral Evans fleet will find COM
modious and safe anchorage IN san
Pedro. The fleet reception committee
finds that one of the best welcomes II
can offer the fighting admiral.

RUFF FILES
STARTLING
AFFIDAVIT
EXPECTED DOCUMENT PLACED
ON RECORD
Boss Asserts Langdon, Burns and
Heney Endeavored to Compel
Him to Commit
Perjury

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 7.--Attor-
neys Henry Ach and Frank ]. Murphy,
counsel for Abraham Ruefi today filed
with Superior Judge Frank II. Dunno
a written motion for the withdrawal of
Ruefs plea of guilty to the charge of
extortion in the French restaurant
cases. and asking permission to sub
stitute the plea of not guilty.
fhe grounds upon which the appli-
cation for the withdrawal of the plea
is made are as follows:
That the defendant is not guilty of
the offense charged and never was
guilty thereof.
That the plea of guilty was improp-
erly and inadvisedly rendered, entered
and received by the court, inasmuch
as at the time of entering the plea the
defendant stated in open court that
he was not guilty of the offense
charged, that defendant was induced
to plead guilty by virtue of an agree
ment with District Attorney William
Fl. Langdon, his assistant, Francis j..
Heney, with ]. Burns, special agent,
Rudolph Spreckels and the promise and
agreement of Judge Dunno that the
plea would be Withdrawn and the de-
PENDANT not sentenced thereon.
Files Affidavit
In support of the motion the attor-
neys for Ruef filed voluminous affi-
daVit, the most remarkable yet made
by Ruef, regarding charges he makes
against the prosecution.l The affidavit
consists of eighty-nine typewriter
pages. The affidavit goes into details
of the immunity history and among
other allegations Ruef charges that the
prosecution used its utmost endeavors
to get him to testify falsely against
Scnmitz and other defendants. Here
tofore Ruefs affidavits and allegations
have been confined to local matters,
but in this affidavit he brings in the
name of Governor James Gillett, Will
liam F. Herrin and r. H. Hartman.
president of the Hartman railroad
system. Ruef AYERS that the prosecu-
ton endeavored to get him to testify
that these persons had entered into a
corrupt bargain and agreement with
him and paid him money in connection
with the nomination of Gillett for gov
ernor at the Santa Cruz convention,
and that he refused to so testify before
the grand jury because there was no
truth in it.
Dunno Refuses
Judge Dunno today refused to obey
a subpoena issued by Judge Buck to
appear before Notary Public Gus Hart
man and make deposition in the suit
instituted by Abe Ruef to recover
money which. he says he was coerced
into spending by the prosecution.
Judge Dunno stated that he would
not answer the courts order. but might
make an affidavit of the facts wanted.
Ruefs attorneys will appear before
Judge Buck on Monday morning and
ask for an order citing Judge Dunno
and Chief of Police Buggy to show
cause why. they should not. be pun
ished for contempt for refusing to
answer the summons. =
