cry that the prosecution is hurting
business.
Miss Catherine Hittell, daughter OF
the we'll known historian, led the at
tack upon the police department. She
directed attention TO the absolute in
competence of the chief and called
for immediate action, but after dis
cussion agreed TO wait until the mass
meeting.
Mrs. Bradstreet urged the adoption
of a resolution condemning Biggy and
his subordinates for their negligent
actions in allowing Morris Haas to
commit suicide. After further discus
sion the matter was laid over until the
mass meeting.
stop the Chronicle, the Examiner
and the other bad papers" was the
suggestion which Miss j. Fl. Michel
son voiced when the subject of pro-
graft organs was brought up. We
must not only reward the good papers.
but we must punish the bad ones"
continued Miss Nicholson. The same
action should govern those who stand
for justice in their everyday dealings.
There is an instance of this which I
can relate. There are several grocery
men in my neighborhood. L deal with
the man whose morals are clean, al
though his stock is not so plentiful and
so varied as the other dealers. But 1
am rewarded in knowing that his NOR
ais are right"
Miss Nicholson related the method
pursued by the consumers league of
New York. which had adopted the prin-
ciple of withdrawing patronage from
dealers who violated child labor and
other laws.
Mention was made by Miss Nicholson
of The Call and Bulletin and great ap-
plause followed. During the afternoon
whenever these two papers were men
toned or the names of those affiliated
with the graft prosecution applause
followed.
1T is naturally expected -Aat the
Examiner will reform very speedily"
exhibited signs of a deep change OF
heart. and l presume there is a great
reason to believe that il will be very
meek from now on. Yet this Examiner
inspired men with hatred for the graft
prosecutors. and must suffer it's pun
ishment. We must have newspapers,
but we can have good ones. The re-
ward is coming to the papers that have
stood for the cause of decency.
1T has been said that a handful of
women can not bring paper TO terms
when Southern Pacific money and
United Railroads money is supporting
it; but it should be part of our duty
to see that none of these venal papers
come into our homes"
Mrs Ella Hathaway suggested that
a canvass be made of all department
stores in San Francisco for the purpose
of urging their prOprietors and en-
ployes to join the League of Justice
Mrs Orlow Baldwin. who has taken
a prominent part in the women's
branch of the League of Justice since
it's organization, closed the afternoons
work when she made a successful mo-
tion that a mass meeting be held for
women at date to be set later and
that some prominent men be invited
to speak upon the occasion.

FUNERAL OF HAAS
TO BE HELD TODAY AND
BODY PUT IN VAULT

The funeral of Morris Haas will take
place this morning from his home at
1S4S McAllister street. The services
will be conducted under the auspices
of Bald Eagle tribe No. rs. Improved
Order of Red Men. AS Haas is reported
to have expressed a wish to be Gre
mated it was the intention of his wife
to follow out his desire today, but Cor
onor Leland yesterday issued an order
to the contrary
Leland sent word to Mrs. Haas that
while he would permit the remains of
her husband to be removed to the
erematory he would not allow the cFe-
nation ceremony until after the in
quest tomorrow. He advised the
widow to have her husbands body
placed in a vault, from which 1t could
be transferred to the morgue in case
the jury desired it at the inquest.

Ruef Employs Hangers On

Yesterday the exigencies of the en-
deayor to prove that Ruef was being
accorded unfair treatment compelled
the admission of little truth, and so
deliberate change of front was made
without thought of shame. In his
sworn affidavit Rnef unhesitatingly
confirmed the general estimate of his
own and Ach's disregard for truth un-
der oath. He named three of the most
notorious hangers-on about Judge Law
ior's courtroom and declared that they
were in his pay. The three named
were John Cook. Harry Wilbur and
Mysterious" Dick Knox.
Ruefs object was to show that he
was being deprived of a defendants
constitutional rights. so he brazenly
admitted what he has previously de-
MED, that the three men were aiding
and assisting. him in carrying on his
defense" and that on Monday they had
been denied admittance to the court
room and prevented from approaching

Dozier Reads Affdavits

Temporarily. however, Dozier won
his point in putting the prosecution in
stead of the defendant on trial. by de-
claring that the matters to be taken
up were entirely new and therefore in
corporated under the express reserva-
tion to the stipulation entered into
Monday He launched at once into the
reading of affidavits by Ruef and John
Cook, but the reading gave the lie to
his assertions. The affldavits dealt
only with events which transpired
Monday in and about the courtroom,
took up no new phase of the general
reasons already advanced to support
nothing whatever with any real bear
ing on the issue. They were long
statements Of events, or alleged events,
accompanied by copies of Monday eve
ming and Tuesday morning newspapers
as exhibits, but absolutely devoid of
any logical showing in support of the
pending motion for a change of venue.
Most significant of all the facts set
forth in Ruefs extended frothing was
the admission which branded both the
afnant himself and his lawyer Ach as
outright liars. For months-in fact,
ever since the beginning of the trial
one of the loudest walls OF Ruef and
Aeh has been directed against the en-
ployment of detectives. by the prosecu-
ton. and accompanying every screech
has been made the assertion that Ruef
had absolutely no one IN his employ.
Ach and Ruef have been loud in the
denial, though even at the time they
were made their declarations were be-
lied by the completeness of reports in
their hands concerning the connections
of Jurors.
The San Francisco call., 1908-11-18
DEFENSE RAISES OBSTACLES

after the courtroom was filled the doors
were closed to prevent crowding.
DEFENSE RAISES OBSTACLES
Ach remembered the lesson taught
him Monday and did not open the way
yesterday for a second snubbing at
the hands of the attorneys for the
people by attempting a second greeting.
He took his place without turning
toward the prosecutions desk and no
words passed between the members of
opposing counsel except those abso-
lutely necessary during the course of
the formal proceedings.
AS soon as court was called TO or
der Ruefs attorneys began again their
brazen endeavors to throw any and all
kinds of obstacles in the way of prog
ress Attorney Dozier. member of
Ruefs counsel at the behest of the
allied higher ups, was on his feet al
most before the bailifT of the court had
called for order, and without preface
announced that the defense was pre-
pared to introduce additional affidavits
to supplement those filed Monday.
Johnson was quick to respond with
decided objection based on the stipula
ton made Monday that new matters
were TO be precluded. pointing out that
the only purpose that could be served
would be TO delay the trial still further.
He called attention 10 the fact that if
the defense was 70 he allowed It's wav
the opening of every court session
might be devoted TO the filing of count
less afidavits. that the delay required
for answers would be endless. that the
trial would degenerate into mere bat
tirely lost sight of and that the case
proper would never get to trial.

over extended objections by Attor-

Incorporation of answering affidavits,
asking first for an adjournment until
this morning, then pleading for delay
until o'clock in the afternoon, and
finally asking for a recess until 3
o'clock. Motions to strike out portions
of the affidavits of the prosecution and
to throw them out of the record entirely
were also made by the defense and op-
posed by Sullivan Every technical
means of delay was brought up by Ach
and Dozier and at noon they succeeded
in gaining delay until o'clock.
Ruef Visits Ach's Office
At noon Ruef was allowed to go to
Ach's Office instead of being held at
the jail, and when court reconvened Ach
was prepared for further fighting. The
showing consisted of several affidavits
similar to those fled Monday and ac-
con1panied by transcript of all that
was said at the Dreamland rink mass
meeting. This stenographic report was
read by Ach, although half dozen OBJ
jections to the reading were interposed
by johnson and Sullivan at various
times during the process
Pleased at having gained his point.
Ach smiled when he reached the point
in the transcript of District Attorney
Langdon's speech where Langdon pro-
phetically declared that he could not
discuss his subject freely for the reason
that his remarks would be made the
subject of unending dilatory motions.
Ach Sneers at Court
In reading Rev. William RAIDERS
speech delivered at the church meeting
Sunday, Ach found another choice op-
portunity for an insolent sneer. RAIDER
had declared that "he didn't see why
Judge Lawlor did not stand on his dig
nifty and put an end to the tactics of
attorneys seeking delay. Ach glanced
at Judge Lawlor, who was looking
away, and grimaced. Then he turned
to Sullivan, several of whose motions
looking to rapid progress had been de-
MED, and winked.
With all the affidavits at last in, the
prosecution at once submitted the pend
ing motions, but the defense parred,
proposing that witnesses be put upon
the stand and that the matter be ar
gued
Judge Lawlor met these suggestions
with a firm denial and declared tire
long battle at an end. He reviewed
the substance of the statements that
had been presented. declared that he
found no evidence to justify the asser-
tions that a state existed which would
interfere with JUSTICE and ended by
denying, one after the other, the four
motions that had been interposed
The adjournment was taken until 8
o'clock this morning. when former SUI
pervisor James L. Gallagher will be re-
called TO the witness stand for cross

and proceed with the impeachment of
3 new one. Ach attempted to tell the
story Of the shooting. He reached the
point Of declaring. as if unconsciously,
that "a man with personal grudge
shot Heney." when he was interrupted
By a fierce exception from Hiram W.
Johnson.
JOHNSON BALKS ACH'S PLAN
Ach thundered back at johnson in
an effort to drown the latters voice,
but johnson was armed with an ex-
ception that amounted to an accusa-
ton and he was not to be denied.
I'm not addressing counsel" the
cried I'm addressing this court and
I'll have my answers from the court
Is this statement that counsel is max
ing a statement Of grounds for mo-
ton? II it is except to what coun-
sci terms q fact. I take exception to
having this record contain any state
ment, as fact. that a man with a per-
sonal grudge shot Mr.. Heney"
Ach changed the subject without
comment and continued on a different
line. 1t was later. after the motions
before the court had been denied, that
Ach clashed again. and this time it
was with both Johnson and o'Gara. The
cause was a suggestion by Judge
Lawlor that counsel should agree
upon some statement to be incorpor-
ated in the courts instructions to the
5ury which would relieve the Jurors
minds concerning the outcome of the
Heney shooting, without putting them
in possession of any facts they had no
right TO know. Johnson at once stated
that any statement the court might
wish to make would be satisfactory to
the prosecution. Ach refused TO agree
to this, but instead, insolently pro-
posed that the court and the prosecu-
tion draw up and submit their views
10 him for consideration.
