NURSES ON WHARVES

II would be good idea if the pa
rents who entrust their little children
to celored muses. would visit the city
dock on The occasion Of a negro ez.
cursion and see the way these nurses
allow their little charges 10 play about
The dock. The nurses are occupied
with their acquaintauces en- the ok
cursion and the babies practically take

by good luck that many Of them miss

THE SERIOUS ILLNESS
 OF MR. CLEVELAND
1t Is Stated That There Is No Hope of His Recovery.

New York. May 1.-Much anxiety Was occasioned today by widely circu- I lated rumors that the condition of eX 1 President Grover Cleveland, who has been i'll for several weeks at a hotel at Lakewood. \. J.. assumed a grave phase and that there was slight hope entertained for his recovered. The Enening World gave prominence to report; current at the offices of the Equitable Life Assurance. Society. oi which Mir Cleveland is voting trus- te,. that the former presidents physi clans had diagnosed the case as cancer of the onach. and had decided that there was no hope for the distinguish ed patients recovery. A positive d9- nial of these statements was not Ob- tainable today.
 Joseph D. Bryant, who has attended Mf. Cleveland for years. said that the patient was all right and that all his reports from Lakewood were fav orable In answer to a question as to whether MT. Cleveland was suffering from cancer of the stomach. Mir. Bry- ant said that as a physician he could not make public diagnosis of the case Of any of his patients. Any in formation on such a subject. were it to be given to the public. should come from the family h. said.
 At Lakewood tonight efforts were made to obtain an authorized state ment regarding MT Cleveland's illness from the hotel authorities. or through Ythem from Mrs. Cleveland, but the same answer. nothing to say was all that was given out. though several inquiries were made.
 Some friends of the former presi- dent who have seen Mrs. Cleveland. say she told them there was nothing serious the matter with MT. CIeve- land, but they add that she appears much worried regarding her husbands condition.
 IL is known at Lakewood that as yet no local physician or additional nurses have been called into the case and Dr. Joseph T. Bryant of New York. the family physician. visits Mir. Cleveland only every other night. Dr. Bryant visited Mir. Cleveland tonight but could not be reached when a telephone call was sent for him,at the hotel.

AN INVESTIGATION

A Further Looking Into the Delin- quencies of District Attorney Je- ror1e.

New York. May 1.-Before Commis- sioner Hand. who is hearing evidence in the charges against District Attor- ney Jerome. Franklin Pierce, counsel for the complainants. today called for the evidence taken on the Wall and Cortland street ferries cases. in which ThCpas F. Ryan and H. H. Vreeland testified.
 We contend" said Mir. Pierce. that Jerome could have gone before the grand jury with the evidence he had and secured indictments. Instead, he called Ryan before the grand jury and forever barred the road 10 prosecu- ton
 Jerome agreed to submit the evil dence privately to the commissioner with the mdeI Istaf.ding that Pierce shall not be allowed to read it.
 Pierce asked for an adjournment un- til Monday when he promised to take up Jeromes investigation of the American Ice Co. He said Jerome in vestigated the company for half a day and then turned the investigation against three or four small independ- ent companies that the American wanted to smash. and that he advised indictments to be returned against them.

 The Atlantic destroyer fiotilla. which last saw the battleships at the western end of the Straits of Magellan. will re- join the fleet at Santa Cruz on Mon- day.
 Today was the tenth anniversary of
 the battle of Manila bay. but there were no ceremonies commerative of that event on any of the ships. Rear Admiral ". II EInor:- of the second division entertained his fellow flag of , fcerS and captains of the fleet al luncheon at Hotel Del Monte. To- night there was a dinner to the ad- mirals and captains and Governor Gil- lett and staff at the Del Monte. with Mayor Jacks of Monterey as the host Ht III NdS dN tended by a number of detailed officers. Dances tonight for the men in two big halls. a confetti battle ir the streets, boxing bouts. a lantern festival in Pa cific Grove, dance for the junior off, cers at the Presidio in Monterey, il- luminatiOn of fleet, were features of the fleets first day.

 The da; was busy one on board the ships of theffee On the Vermont there was d meeting of the board of turret officers called by direction of Rear Admiral Evans. to consider and report recommendations for improve ments in the turret system of battle ships. based upon the experience of the battle practices last fall and the target practice this year at Magellan. The meeting was most important one, coming just at time when criti- cisms of the turrets have been so free ly made. The recommendations of the men who are actually in charge of the turret guTs and familiar with every detail of their workings. will probably receive great weight with the depart ment at Washington.
 The board considered the question of turret placings. ammunition hoists. etc, and also the feasibility of name- proof powder bags.
 The meeting of fleet ordnance officers called by Lieutenant Commander Rid- ley Mclean of Admiral Evans staff, was held on the Illinois. also to con sider and report upon turret powder handling problems.

HENEY'S MOVE
 AGAINST RUFF
How a Peoples Witness
 Was Secured
A CO-Defendant of the Boss Relieved From Pros ecutiOn.

San Francisco, May 1.-The prosecu- tion sprang the first surprise in the case of Ruef when Heney. late this afternoon moved a dismissal of the fourteen indictments against J. E.. Green, president of the Parkside Realty company, a co-defendant of Ruef in the case now being tried in order that Green might testify against the former political boss, Green had been called to the stand by the prosecution despite the objection of his attorney. Judge Dooling directed that he be sworn and after some preliminary questions the district attorney asked what steps he had taken to get the committee of the board of supervisors. which held up the franchise to take some action.
 Green. upon the advice of counsel, refused to answer and started to read a statement setting forth his reasons. Heney objected to the reading of the statement and was sustained by the court. Green then upon the advice of counsel, refused to answer on the ground that he would bs testifying against himself.
 Then in behalf of the people I move that the indictments against the wit ness. fourteen in number be dismissed that he may give testimony in this case" said the assistant district attOT- ney rising to his feet.
 This unexpected move on the part of the prosecution came as surprise to the defense and created something Of sensation in the court room.
 A whispered consultation between Ruef and his attorneys quickly follow ed. Henry Ach, chief counsel for Ruef, strongly objected to the move on the ground that such an application could only be made upon the joint trial of the co-defendants. Judge Dooling overruled the objection of the defense and dismissed the indictments against the witness and ordered his discharge therefrom.
 Green visibly showed relief and pleasure at this sudden turn of pro- ceedings and smilingly acknowledged his willingness to testify. At this point an adjournment was taken until Monday.
 Walter B. Cope. president of the San Francisco Bar Association, formerly superior judge of Santa Barbara county and for years Ruef's classmate in col lege testified against Ruef this morn ing. He is a member Of the firm of attorneys for the Parkside Realty com pany in which he is a stockholder. He told of Ruefs demand for fee of s4O.000 or s50.000 if employed by the company to get the desired trolley franchise through the board of super visOrs. Cope was followed by w. I. Brobeck, who is also jointly indicted with Ruef. Brobeck was questioned about his knowledge of the trolley franchise application

SENATOR JEFF DAVIS
 WEARY OF WAITING
Seeks to Break Down the Protecting Bar-
 rier of the Trusts
He Demands the Discharge of the Senate Committee In Which His Destructive Bill Has Been Slumber- ing for Many Months.

Washington. May 1.-The time of the senate was taken up for two hours to- day with a speech by Senator Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas. asking that the committee on judiciary be discharged from a further consideration of his bill for the suppression of the trusts. The remainder of the day was given over to the consideration of a resolution by Senator Elkins suspending until Janu- ary l, 1910 the commodity clause of the Hepburn railroad rate law. The res olution provoked so much debate and so many amendments were offered that the whole matter went over until Monday. tomorrow being given over to eulogies of the late Senator Bryan, of Florida
 In the meantime the senate leaders hope to perfect a resolution that can be agreed to on Monday The com modity clause, under the provision of the Hepburn bill went into effect to- day and the railroads therefore which haul as interstate commerce the pro- duets of mines and manufacturers in which the carriers are interested are liable to a maximum fine of $5O0O for each offense.
 MT. EllSins resolution proposes to give the railroads twenty months ad- ditional time in which to divorce them selves from these properties on the ground that the financial condition has been such that the railroads have beef unable to find buyers and to settle such questions of joint ownership as are in vOlved in mortgages covering both the railroad property and mining of man. ufacturing property Mir. Elkins used this argument in pleading for the adop- ton of the resolutions.
 Several senators. notably Messrs. Culberson and Nelson argued that the railroads had not assumed an attitude that entitled them to consideration with the whole subject unsettled and many amendments pending the sen- ate adjourned.
