cape. He had to surrender or fight
and so he fought, or tried to.
Ruef filed suit for damages
again Heney. who had exposed his
corrupt record, and against two OF
the San Francisco newspapers
which had printed Heney's charges.
His purpose was obvious. He
hoped, In the first place, to frighten
those who were bent upon exposing
his corruption in connection with
the redlight district, and the bood-
ling supervisors. And in the second
place he hoped to strike terror into
the hearts of the grand jurors who
were beginning to investigate the
chargesAnade by Mr.. Heney.
His purpose failed, as II natural
consequence. The fearless prosecu-
tor was not frightened by the
"suits'; the newspapers continued
to show up the rottenness of the
Ruef Schmitz administration; and
the grand jury, instead of being
struck dumb with terror, went
ahead with the investigation and
finally indicted the entire boodling
gang-from the boodling mayor and
the boodling boss to the men who
paid the Doodle.
Mayor Schimtz also filed suits for
damages. With tears dripping from
his bloodshot eyes he protested that
he was not a protector of vice; that
he did not participate in the bribery
of the supervisors; that he was not
financially interested in the redlight
district; that he was a victim of
persecution.
OF course, nothing ever was heard
of the suits, and both Ruef and
Schmitz were found guilty of the
charges that the fearless prosecutor
had made and that the papers had
printed.

GUARD MORSE JURY
WITH SIX MARSHALS
DETECTIVES ALSO WATCH ALL
WITNESSES
Case Begun Against Banker and Pro-
moter Accused of Tampering
with Funds of Financial
institutions
IRv Associated Press.I


NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The federal
jury that is to try Charles w. Morse.
the banker and promoter, and Alfred
H. Curtis, former president of the Ma
tional Bank of North America, was
completed today Immediately after
the jury had been sworn Morse and
Curtis pleaded not guilty to the indict-
ments against them, which charge them
with a violation of the national bank
ing laws and conspiracy, and District
Attorney Stimson began his address to
the jury.
That the jury is to be kept within
the custody of the court during the
trial was indicated today when six
deputy United States marshals were
instructed to take charge of the jury
day and night. This is said to be the
first time such a course was ever taken
in the federal courts of this city
Outlining the charges against Mr..
Morse, United States District Attorney
Stimson said Mr.. Morse was member
of pool manipulating the stock of the
American Ice company and that when
they reached the end of their resources
they went to the National Bank of
North America, of which Morse was
vice president, and secured $1,200,000 of
the banks money to continue their
speculation. To conceal this alleged
unlawful transaction, Mr. Stimson said
that fictitious loans were entered on the
books
He charged also that false reports
were made to the comptroller of the
currency to show that loans made by
the bank with the ice stock as collat-
eral at fictitious prices were resources
Mr. Stimson declared also that Mr..
Morse induced his friends to take stock
in his various enterprises, giving their
notes in payment, and that Morse dis
counted the notes. The manner in
which Mr.. Morse bought stock of the
banks he owned was also described.

1.-THE cigar dealers have had due
notice." said Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Guy Eddie, "and it will not be
necessary to warn them again. l will
confer with Chief Kern and immediate
steps will be taken to abolish dice
games at cigar counters"
Mr.. Eddie declared the games have
been carried on openly and in violation
of the ordinance governing gambling.
He said not only would the dealers
who permitted the games be arrested
but those shaking the cubes also will
be gathered in and char Sed with gam
bling.
ANY citizen who witnesses games
of this sort and secures the necessary
witnesses can come to this office and
swear out a complaint end arrests will
follow" he added.
Most of the cigar dealers are glad
the crusade has begun. A number of
them have declared they made no
money at the practice. But as long
as other places provide the games all
are compelled to do likewise or lose
trade.
The dealers do not seem to take the
situation seriously, as dice games were
in evidence at the stands and stores
yesterday.
Not before wholesale raid is exc
cuted will the practice be stopped, Ii
