A large number of the officers re-

The first of these tests will begin

the commanding officers quarters at

Will be in charge. The following line of

BLOW GIVEN RUFF
FORCES BY COFFFY
Indicted Ex-SupervisOr Declines
to Answer for Fear of In=
eliminating Himself
Boss Grafter's Lawyer Had Re-
lied on Testimony for Effort
to Impeach Gallagher

Michael J. Coffey, the former super
visor who is under indictment for tell
ing conflicting stories of his connection
with various graft deals in the boodling
board, injected the only excitement in
a dull session in Judge Cabaniss' court
yesterday when he took refuge in his
constitutional rights and refused to
answer questions put to him by Ruefs
lawyer, Newburgh, during the hearing
of the charge against Ruef of bribing
J. J. Furey.
Newburgh relied largely on CoffeXs
testimony TO base his defense and i'm
peach James l.. Gallagher. There was
CONSERVATION in the Ruef forces when
Coffey, on the advice of his lawyer,
Attorney Bull, fatty declined to answer.
.,All L want to find out is whether
Coffey didn't tell the truth in his pre-
vious statements" pleaded Newburgh.
Bull objected that any answer Coffey
made would be likely to incriminate
him and give ground for further in
dictments. After a vast deal of argu-
ment by both attorneys Judge Caoaniss
ruled that Coffey did not have to reply.
Corey responded no" however, when
he was asked If he was ever shown a
paper signed by District Attorney
LangdOn and Assistant District At
torney Heney. Chagrined, Newburgh
reluctantly excused him.
1t will be an interesting question to-
day whether former Supervisor Wilson,
likewise under indictment, of whose
testimony Ruef is even more in need,
viii pursue the same course
EX-Supervisor Fred Nicholas was on
the stand the rest OF the afternoon. On
cross examination by Assistant District
Attorney Louis Ward, he said that he
always understood the members of the
board were represented by Gallagher,
who in turn represented Ruef. The rest
Of his testimony was corroborative of
the evidence given by Gallagher.
Ruef's man announced that he would
call Supervisors Andrew NJ Wilson,
Cornelius Harrigan, Phillips, Kelly and
Sanderson as witnesses today.

BIDS ARE OPENED ON
CONSTRUCTION OF PIER
Harbor Commissioners Will De-
eide on Plans and Alter
nate Ones

Bids were opened yesterday by the
state board of harbor commissioners
for the construction of pier 40, the
steel and concrete structure that the
board purposes to build from the newly
built addition to the seawall north of
the Pacific Mail wharves. After open
ing the bids the board took a recess un-
til Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when
the name of the successful bidder will
be announced. There were 10 bidders
and the bids ran from $2S5,000 to
$421, 900.
In addition to bidding on the specifi-
cations prepared by the harbor commits
sioners, each of the bidders submitted
bids on alternate plans. Among the
alternate plans was one prepared by
Howard G. Holmes, and bids on the
Holmes plan ranged about 100000 less
than those on the state specifications
On the state specifications the bid of
the Healy-Tibbitts construction COM
pany was lowest
Between now and Monday the COM
missioners will consider the merits of
each of the alternate plans, and to the
lowest bidder on the plan which is con-
sidered best the contract will be
awarded.

the Chinese highbinders at the instiga-
tlon or any criminal, whether Chlnese
might feel that he had reason TO fear
investigation. 1 am glad to say that
both the Chinese consul and the Chi
neSe minister at Washington have
given their hearty cooperation.
DANGER WAS ACUTE
Although, of course, the Six Com
panies and many of the tong leaders
had no knowledge of the matter, and
although those who did have knowl,
edge OF the matter of course, denied
all such knowledge, the danger was
acute Now, however, l believe that
the activity of the consul and the other
ieadlng Chinese mentioned have, for
the time being at any rate, assured the
safety OF Kee, and the fact that this
threat is known and that the probable
makers of the threat will be kept un-
der observation, will presumably as
sure his safety in the future.
AS regards the other matters men
Ioned the papers have been mainly
misled koe was not dismissed from
the government service, but had been
Tor nearly IL years in good standing
IN the service and resigned at my re-
quest TO enter the service of the COM
mission. OF the other persons men
toned in the Examiner this morning
Haw Shuck and Lee Thing have never
been in the employ of the commission
occasionally done a little work. Mr..
Mcheeby In the way of taking deposit
tions and the like and Lee Wah acting
as an interpreter or finding out some
speclal fact when it was referred to
him.
incidentally it may be said in reply
to the statement made that the latter
was discharged from the service here
for giving out secrets, that he was for
merly in the service at Los Angeles and
that the inspector in charge on whose
complaint he was removed has since
been himself dismissed from the service
Tor cause, and that a careful investi-
cation of the charges made has shown
that the charges We're probably without
questioned Lee Wah's skill as an in
terpreter.
STORIES ABOUT SMUGGLING
Much has been said in the papers
about my Investigating smuggling.
When / was in Los Angeles / spent
about an hour in the Jail talking with
certain Chinese who had been arrested
and will probably be deported. 1 had
no thought of discovering anything
new about smuggling and j discovered
nothing new, but | am interested in
the Chinese and with everything con-
nected with immigration and the immi-
portunity that offers to familiarize my
self with the way in which the work is
done. 1 have heard various stories
regarding smuggling.
From the last report of the commits
sioner general of immigration, as well
as from the newspapers, l have un-
deal of smuggling over the Mexican
border. Of course l should be glad to
learn anything on the subject that
might come to me, but the main pur-
pose of my visit to the coast is as stat
ed above.
The work Of the commission covers
the entire field of immigration, and the
duty of the commission will be eventu-
ally to make recommendations to con-
gress on that subject. Since / have
been here have had suggestions made
to me by various persons regarding
possible Legislation and Improvements
In the service. Such suggestions, of
course, are always welcome.
