METHODISTS WILL
SPEND LARGE SUM
APPROPRIATE S1,060,578 FOR
YEAR THE 1909
Amount for American Publicity Pur-
poses establishments
Fund Remains the
Same
: [By Aasoeiared Press.l

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6-The general
committee Of foreign missions of the
Methodist church at the session this
afternoon began the work of itemiz-
ing the appropriations for the year
1909, after voting to appropriate total
of $1,060,57S.
A spirited debate took place over
the first item on the appropriation list
that of general expenses. Because of
the late financial stringency, it was
urged that the amount allotted for pub
lieity purposes in America be reduced,
and in spite of some opposition this
suggestion was adopted.
The samount allowed for this purpose
next year was fixed at $37, 900, a reduce
ton of $4,000 from the appropriation
of last year.
For the general expenses in the for
eign mission field, including the sup
port of missionary bishops, emergen-
cies, etc, total $177,0 was ap-
propriated, leaving $105,750 for general
expenses in America.
This latter amount includes the APP
preparation for publicity, the salaries
of officers of the board of foreign mis-
sions, interest on the debt and other
operating expenses.
For the support of actual mission
airy work for the ensuing year, $685., IT'S
remains practically the same as last
year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-With the
latest returns from the congressional
districts throughout the. country there
are indications of numerous contests.
In many of the districts the vote be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
candidates has been very close.
So far as the returns now in from
all districts show, the Republicans viii
have a working majority of Al in the
next national house of representatives,
the figures standing Republican 21S,
Democrats 173, against the present
membership of 223 Republicans and l66
Democrats and two vacancies.
All the southern districts have been
heard from, although ordinarily among
the latest to be cleared UP.
The most remarkable upset in the
congressional situation since recon-
struction days has occurred in North
Carolina, where, In state whose DEM
ocratic majority musters approximate
ly 10000 three out of the ten MEM
bers of congress sent to Washington
will be Republicans.
Republicans Elected
They are John M. Morehead, who de-
feated Aubrey B. Brooks In the Fifth
district, which district William w
Kitchin Vacates to become governor of
North Carolina; c. H. Cowles, who out
ran Richard M. Hackett in the Eighth,
and J. G. Grant, who ran ahead Of
Villa MT. Crawford, incumbent in the
Tenth.
Crawford has undergone several de-
feats in his congressional fights In
that district and is the member who
was unseated in a contest by Richard
Pearson Hobson by margin of one
vote.
Morehead and Grant were elected by
margin of less than 400. while Cowles
won out by 1900.
Republican successes in North Caro-
lima are attributed by North Carolina
papers to great change in sentiment
with a leaning toward the Republican
doctrine of protective tariff.
Interesting, though affecting the vote
of the house not in the least by reason
of that territory having no vote in the
national council, is the defeat by Ralph
II. Cameron of Marcus A. Smith, the
delegate from Arizona, who had be-
come we'll known in Washington dur
ing his congressional career

Arrive in New York After Six Days
Battle with Gales Which
Batter Schooner to
Pieces

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--Seven ship
wrecked seamen who We're today
brought into this port by the Austrian
steamer Maria told thrilling tale Of
six days battle with gales that bait
tered their little schooner, the r. D.
Spear, until they were forced to aban-
don her on November 3.
The schooner sailed from Philadelphia
on October 20 for Calais and on the
night of October 20 she encountered a
stiff northeast gale which carried away
part of the rigging and sails.
The schooner was forced to run be-
fore the gale. Later she began Leak
ing.
Just as the crew was about to give
up in despair the steamer Maria was
sighted.
After much difficulty, owing to the
huge seas breaking over the water
soaked vessel, the crew managed to
launch the lifeboat and leave the
doomed schooner.

the circumstantial evidence against
the former political boss link by link,
commencing with the first alleged brib-
cry and finally ending with the United
Railroads, the one on which he is
actually being tried.
Indicates Long Trial
Such a procedure will necessarily
cover the entire history Of the bribery
graft prosecution Of the past two years
and will call for the testimony of a
large number of witnesses, including all
of the former supervisors, excepting
one who has since died.
The present trial of Ruef began on
August 26, and one of the attorneys for
the defense predicted today that it
would not be concluded by Christmas.
Following the opening statement of
Mr.. Heney, John e. Behan, clerk of the
board of supervisors, was the first wit
ness placed on the stand to identify
the records of the board.
Behan was on the, stand the entire
afternoon under direct and cross ex-
animation.
Henry Ach traced the careers of the
former city fathers step by step
through their entire administration by
means of the records and minutes of
the board produced by Pehan.
Former State Senator George B.

of supervisors, and later private secre-
tary to Schmitz, will be placed on the
stand tomorrow

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-After
more than seventy days work in get
ting a jury of twelve unbiased and I'M
prejudieed men, the. third trial Of
Abraham Ruef, this time on the charge
of offering to bride Former Supervisor
John ]. Furey to vote for the over
head trolley franchise for the United
Railroads in May, 1906, actually began
this morning before Superior Judge
William P. Lawlor.
In the first trial Ruef pleaded guilty
to extortion in the French restaurant
on which charge Eugene E. Schmitz,
mayor of San Francisco at the time,
was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for five years.
Ruefs plea; and the conviction Of
Schmitz, however, was nullifed by the
decision of the appellate court that the
indictments were invalid because they
were improperly drawn up, which was
unanimously sustained by the seven
justices of the supreme court. Ruef's
second trial resulted in a disagreement
of the jury.
Assistant District Attorney Francis
]. Heney made his opening statement
to the Jury this morning, which con-
sumed about three hours.
To Adopt New Policy
1t was evident from Mr.. Heney's
statement, in which he reviewed chron-
oYogically the entire history of the all
legged wholesale bribing of the former
board of supervisors by Ruef the re-
sultant indictments by the grand jury,
the attempt by Ruef through Acting
Mayor James l.. Gallagher to remove
District Attorney William H. Langdon
from office and have himself appointed
in Langdon's place, and the testimony
of the various witnesses in the several
bribery graft cases that have been tried
during the past two years, that the
prosecution will proceed along some-
what different lines than in Ruef's for
mer trials.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
stated that the prosecution would
commence by showing the close rela-
tions existing between Ruef and Mayor
Schmitz, that Ruef dominated the
mayor and absolutely controlled the
board of supervisors; that James l..
Gallagher, chairman of the finance
committee, was Ruef's agent, and at
Ruef's request made the various offers
to bride the other members of the
board, and acted as the disbursing
agent Ior the pohtlcal poss III the pay
ments made.
What He Will Attempt
Mr.. Heney said he expected to show
that Ruef through Gallagher paid each
one of the supervisors $500 in the So
called prize fight trust, fight permits,
followed by $3.50 to each member of the
board to vote for a franchise for the
parkside street railway. $3.50 to fix the
on ra 70 in fha pitU at az cents instead
of rs cents the payment of $500 and in
some instances $4,000 to the supervisors
in the Home telephone franchise mat
ter, and finally the payment of $500
to the board to give the United Rail-
roads, up to that time largely cable
system, an overhead trolley franchise.
From this it is evident that the prose-
cution expects to build up its case
against Ruef step by step and forging
