MOLINE

Will Not Cut Force.-Fifteen men
have been laid off at the Silvis shops
f, of the Rock Island and as a result a
report is freely circulated that the Off
Gals have resumed the policy of de-
creasing the force. Such a policy is
vigorously denied at the shops. There
| is plenty of work here and instead of
decreasing the force we are gradually
increasing it," is the statement given
| out from the superintendent Office.
Some men of mediocre ability were
laid off to make room for experienced
men, and this probably accounts for
the rumor. Three engines We're turn
ed out complete for service from the
shops today. All of them underwent
heavy repairs. There are 4S engines
in the shops at the present time and
60 engines are in the yards awaiting
their turn in the shop. This gives
some idea of the work ahead of u.s."

Prosecution Win Conclude Its
Testimony Tomorrow Night
WENT TO RUFF TO GET MONEY
II is Not Known Whether Defence
Will Put ANY Witnesses on Stand
as Ach and Murphy Decline to
Make a. Statement.

SAN FRANCISCO, May l3.-Il
Rnef trial today, the time was occu
pied in the cross-examination o
Daniel G. Coleman by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Heney. Heney at
tempted to have Coleman testify the
same as he had before the grand jury
relative to the Parkside bribery deal
1t which time he declared, according
10 the stenographic report of the pro
seedings, that he talked with Ruei
about the Parkside matter and de-
manded the payment of the promised
bribes. In testifying today, Coleman
said he could not remember having
eonversed with the defendant.
Il went to Ruef," he said, ito stir
BIN up, so we could get the money
Didn't you know that the only rea-
son you went to Ruef was to get the
money!" asked Heney.
Coleman explained again that he
wanted to get his $1,000
Coleman in answer to Ach, con-
yeyed an impression that the Super
visors initiated graft jobs and sent
Gallagher out to ascertain how much
they could get.
Haven't you changed your grand
jury testimony in favor of Ruef?"
Ach made strenuous efforts to shut
OUT his testimony, but did not sue
eeed.
MY grand jury testimony was ex-
gianatory," said Coleman.
The wnness admitted he had talked
with Ruef regarding the $1,000 offer
n the second Parkside franchise md
that Ruef told him the matter was
being held in abeyance because of the
agitation that was going on in 1906.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
announced in court during the Ruef
tfa1 today that the prosecution would
conclude its testimony tomorrow
night. Whether the defense will put
on witnesses or not is not known
Attorneys Ach and Murphy declined
to make statement on this matter
1t is probable that the tend of he
taIing of testimony will come on
Friday. However, an adjournment
to Monday may be taken at which
time the arguments will be heard
