La Toilette Picked to
Lead Hearst S Ticket
AIdrich Is Given as Authority
for Statement Regarding the
Senator From Wisconsin
srEcr,l prspArcH TO THE cAtu


NEW YORK. March lss---A wash
inston special to the World says:
That Senator La Toilette. OF wisconsin
will be nominated for president by
Hearst's independence league is de-
clared on high authority here TO be
practically settled. This authority is
Senator Aldrich of Rhode iIsland
Moreover. the speech which Senator La
Toilette will make in the senate to-
morrow when he will attack the AID
rich bill, and especially its railorad
bond feature, is expected to amount
to declaration of his principles al a
presidential candidate.
La Toilette has been seeking the re-
publican nomination. To secure this
is impossible but il nominated on an
Independent ticket the lesguers believe
he would attract big vote of the
radicals in both the old parties.
Hearst does not believe third party
has chance for success this year and,
therefore, prefers that some one other
than himself shall be its standard
bearer. He thinks that IL a heavy vote
is cast for the nominee OF such a
third party four years from now it
may supplant the democratic party as
a contender for political power. And
he thinks also by that time he will
have so strengthened his hold upon the
third party. which he will build. that
he can force his own nomination for
president
It is alleged that La Toilette has
been approached by the Hearst agents
to learn whether she would accept such
a nomination. 1t is not believed. how
ever, that any blunt proposition has
been put before him. The Wisconsin
man is absolutely committed to the
various reform movements of the last
few years and it is conceivable that
should the nominee Of the republican
party not meet with his approval he
might lend his name to such an enter
prise.

CRATER, on Trial, Now
Would Try Court
Ruef Is FOifed in Effort to Put
Whole Graft Prosecution
on the Stand

Abraham Ruef made an attempt in
Judge Lawlor's court yesterday to get
all the participants in the graft prose-
eution on the witness stand for cross
examination as to the facts mentioned
in the af6davits which had been filed,
but the CRATER was foiled by the
denial of the motion, and his counsel,
Henry Ach, was severely rebuked
from the bench for wild charges Of
conspiracy and collusion which be had
made. An attempt to have the afh-
davits of Heney, Spreckels, Langdon
and Professor Bunnell stricken from
contained matter scandalously reflect
ing on the integrity and honesty of
Governor Giilett. Attorney General
Webb, Judge Carroll Cook and Judge
Mogan was as quickly overridden
The session was replete In sensa-
tional incidents. Heney and Ach
clashed repeatedly, Ach declaring that
Heney as well-as Ruef was on trial
and that he would prove him guilty Of
perjury out of his own lips IL al
lowed to cross examine him in open
court. Heney In turn accused Ach of
aiding in the subornation of perjury
of Ruef and in reply to Achs asser-
tion that he was on trial Heney re-
torted hotly.
You will be on trial before 1 will,
Henry Ach.'
Judge Lawlor ended the acrimonious
debate with the admonition to Ach that
the court proposed to have the duly
constituted representatives of the peo-
pie treated rs such.
Ruef in his afidavit maintained that
he had been unable to get the affidavits
of Judge Dunno, Doodle Supervisors
James L. Gallagher and Andrew M. VIII
son, Chief of Police William ]. Biggy,
BARLEY P. Oliver and Judge Lawlor.
JUDGE REBUKEs ACH
When Ach read the name of Judge
Lawlor, the jurist leaned forward and
said:
AS to the last named person. was
it not said by him that he would file
his afiidavit after both sides had SUBJ
mitted theirs? And am I to under
stand that counsel for the defense does
not acquiesce In the opinion Of the
court as to the proper time for fling
of such affidavit?'
5Ach suffered: I-of course, but /
don't think we understood the purport
Of that Er--we desire to question the
court without revealing our purpose
and defeating our object he said.
Heney then took up the allegations
of Ruef as to his inability to procure
afldavits and riddled them one by one,
showing that all the persons mentioned,
with the exception Of Judge Dunno, had
agreed to give them.
Judge Dunno, said Heney. had ex-
pressed willingness to make an am
davit il Informed OF the prcpriety OF
such course by Judge Lawlor
Ach reiterated, however, his desire
to have the persons mentioned exam-
ined In court under OATH. HenAy arose:
II want to say that afiant is very
credulous if he thinks that Judge
Dunne's evidence will corroborate the
testimony. OF. Drs. KaplaH and Nicto

which became general in police circles
when the announcement that the cases
OF the two men were but incidents of
a far reaching investigation made
By. Chief of Police Biggy.
During all OF yesterday Chief Bigxy
assisted by Captain OF Detectives KeI-
ly, was busy drawing Up the evidence
against the men. When it was CON-
pleted he had compiled a number OF
typewriter pages telling exactly how
what promised TO be the beginning Of
a colossal police levy was carried on.
According to the evidence weekly
tribute of $40 was exacted from every
keeper of a house of questionable
character in the Barbary coast POOL

stated Chief of Police Blggy yester-
day.
II will not say that graft in the
police department has been wholesale.
but I will admit that it has been wide
spread. 1t has been a question with
me as TO the best method of Obtaining
evidence that would convict. and while
the premature publicity given the sus-
pension of Behan and Evatt has inter-
fered somewhat with the plans of my
self and the police commissioners. it is
my belief that we have secured tes-
timony that will be convincing Where
the evidence warrants 1t criminal
prosecutions will follow the exposure
of individual eases of extortion."
