ABE RUFF IS CONVICTED
 AFTER LENGTHY TRIAL

San Francisco, December 10.-Abraham cisco, was convicted today of bribery. The verdict was returned at o'clock when the deliberations of the jury had been prolonged throughout "A hours. The warnings of Judge William P. Lawler and the vigilance or the police checked all attempted demonstration.
 The trial which has been in progress for 1O6 days. ended with surprising ab- ruptness. The day had almost passed without sign or intlmatlon from the cur tained chamber on the upper floor of Car penter's hall. The hopes of Ruef and his attorneys had risen with every hour of delay, and tpe adherents of the prosecu- ton were pfoportionately discouraged.
 With numbers an, 'ntefest npdimlnished the hundreds ot spectatora who have chung about the courtroom during the closing days of the trial stood in long lines in and about the building
 As the jury filed into the courtroom and took their seats in the jury box, Judge Lawler asked Foreman McNamara: Have you gentlemen reached a ver- dict?"
 We have" replied the foreman, as he handed folded slip of paper to Clerk Welch An impressive silence followed as the clerk read the fatal words: We, the jury, Grd the defendant, Abraham Ruef, guilty as charged"

Ruef sat between his father and Thomas dict was returned. He had spent the greater part of the day in conversation with his aged parent, and though his face paled and his eyes remained fixed for a long time upon the men who had pro- nounced his fate almost his first thought was for the elder MT. Ruef. He whispered d few words oe encouragement to the aged man and sent him out of the room to break the news to the defendants mother and sisters.
 By previous agreement of counsel that the bill of exceptions should be settled later, the court set next Saturday, De- ceinber 12 as the day for pronouncing judgment.

 Governor Deneen had presented copy of resolutions adopted by the associa- ton, and made a few remarks, to which the President replied as follows:
 q have felt, as the governor has well mt if. that no more important service could be rendered to this country than the building of the Panama canal be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific; and one thing I am proud of in connection with the building of that canal, is that there has not been legitimate cause for

New York, December 10.-Mr. Crom- wells statement was shown to Henry w. Taft, brother of the President elect, and half brother of Charles F. Taft, to- night. He read it carefully and wrote the following statements
 Neither my brother Charles nor I, nor any member of our family, direct ly or indirectly, had any interest in, or made any profit from the purchase of the Panama canal by our govern ment.

ROOSEVELT WANTS TO SUE
 SOMEBODY FOR LIBEL

the breath of scandal connected with any feature of the proceeding. We have cause to be ashamed of only one set of Americans in connection with the build ing of the canal, and that Is of those Americans who have been guilty of in- famous falsehood concerning the aequisi- ton of the property, and the eonstruc- tlon of the canal itself If they can be reached for criminal libel. I shall try to have them reached. If not, at any rate, all the facts we know or ever have known are at the disposal of each and every one of you here, and of any one in Congress or out of Congress If they wish to see them.
 Next only in importance, from the physical standpoint to building the Pan anna canal comes the question of devel- oping the use of our own waterways. That must be done by the policy of irri- gation at the headwaters up in the arid regions and where you come from, gen tlemen, ir is to be done by making our sea coast take big look in from the Gulf of Mexico to the great lakes; and we will see that that work is done just as honestly, just as efficiently as the Panama canal work has been done, and no work could have been done from be- ginning to end more honestly or more ef- ficiently."

that waterway improvement not only would expand and diversity the coun- try's activities, but would furnish more work for the railways instead of less. The question, he said, was a national is- sue and he pledged the support of his association in the work of the congress.

To Eat or Not to Eat?

That much mooted question, wheth.
er the wives of the members of the
cabinet shall serve refreshments on
their days at home crops up as sure
ly as the season comes around. The
pros and cons are discussed and al
ways the debate ends in do as you
please" It saves an endless amount
of trouble to do without refreshments,
but the lack of seeming hospitality is
painful to some hostesses and they
are willing to undertake the eating"
of the crowd and so earn the right to
laugh at many amusing incidents that
always follow the rush to the re-
freshment table. And the one who
remembers Washington "befo' the
wah" and through the Cleveland ad-
ministration will show open disapprov-
al at the offer of "a cup of tea in
stead of salad and punch.
But the capital has grown ever
since the days when the late William
c. Whitney was secretary of the navy
and provided champagne and terra
pin for Mrs. Whitney's callers on
Wednesdays, and when Mrs John G.
Carlisle offered hot biscuits and home
made salad with the hospitality of
Kentucky. Such a provision of food
would be impossible now. It would
be like turning ones house into res
taurant except for the receipts. So it
remains to be seen what January will
bring forth, for the official receptions
will not begin until after the new
year, although all of the women of the
cabinet circle and many of the wives
of senators will receive informally on
their days for their particular friends.

THE AWAKENING
By ELIZABETH JACKSON
Copyright, Ford Pub. Coz

In her little rose-colored boudoir,
Elise paced slowly up and down. Her
broad, low brow was slightly puckered
and around her eyes were unmistak-
able signs of tears. But they are
only surface tears" she told herself,
with little sigh; mot heart tears
not the kind of tears that Lundski
wants-tears wrung in agony from
the soul" She said the words over
again to herself, smiling as she did so.
1t seemed such a far-away possibility
II it was one at all And for this
very lightness of heart, my career is
to be ruined!" she cried aloud.
She stopped before the open window
and looked out moodily into the night
The stars seemed to have lost their
glitter and the radiance of the moon
was hidden in the mist of cloud.
Below, the trees hung dark and mo-
tionless, not breath stirring them
or their huge, fantastic shadows The
peryading calmness exasperated her.
1t suited SO exactly her own mood.
