BIG WATER POWER PROJECT
Large Interests to Develop Resources
in Canyons of Upper Mis-
souri, River.

Boston. July 1s.-Various financial and
mining interests. including Senator Clark.
II. II. Rogers, Ex-Governor Hauser and
others. who represent the Missouri River
Power company, have arranged with the
Stone & Webster Engineering corporation
of Boston for the development of the i'm
mense water power resources in the can
yons of the upper Missouri river in Mon
tana, a scale exceeding anything that
has yet been attempted there. The plans
provide ultimately for the Transformation
of 50,0O0-hOrse power into electrical energy
by means of two dams. and the bulk of
this power will be furnished the mines
in the Butte and Helena districts.
1t is estimated that the construction
work planned will cost 100000, and il
will be done in two stages. The first is
in connection with a 20O0O-horse power
dam at Hauser lake. sixty miles from
Butte This work will begin Immediately.
Subsequently II is planned to build an
immense new dam nearly one-half a mile
long and 10 feet in height. together with
a 30.O00-hOrse power hydro-electric plant.
at Wolf creek. a few miles above Hauser
lake From this plant high-tension trans
mission lines will deliver power to Butte
and Helena.
This is believed to be the largest project
of the kind undertaken since interest in
big power plants began to lag over a year
ago. -

TOMALTY'S HAND IN
FURTHER SHORTAGE
Four False Entries Show $1,000
Drawn for Which No Court
Orders Were Issued

The sum of $1,000 more is missing
from the city treasury James Tomalty,
already charged with the embezzlement
of 100000 of city funds, is believed to
have taken part in the extraction of
this latest discovered loss as well. The
final report of Lester, Herrick &
Herrick, made yesterday to the mayors
office and the other officials interested,
shows the method of operation Four
entries, extending from May %. 1906,
to December 80, 1907. all in Tomalty's
handwriting, furnish the evidence of
the bold withdrawal of $1,000, osten-
sibly for payments from the county
clerk special deposit fund, but for
The Herrick report makes the impor-
tant statement that these four. entries
are the only ones made under the fund
in question for which no court orders
appear, and consequently that no fur
ther defalcations may be expected. at
least in this account.
From sums left unclaimed in the "ab-
sent heirs" account, odds and ends of
estates not worth bothering about. a
steady accumulation keeps up, and it is
believed by the officials that Tomalty
and his confederate, having knowledge
of this fact, deliberately made the
drafts covered by the four entries not
ed. In three cases the disposition sup
posed to have been made of the money
can not now be ascertained; in the
fourth case the sum of $4,000 was cred
tied as paid out on an estate which
certainly did not have any such amount
in the treasury. The expert state
ment follows

LATHAM FOUND;
HIGHER UPS GO
TO HIS RESCUE
United Railroads Tries to Pre-
vent Return of Witness
Against Ruef
Chauffeur of Shirt Box Fame
Apprehended by Burns in
Portland
Attorneys at Work in California
and Oregon to Block
Extraditi0n

NJ IRECT evidence came to light
yesterday revealing the activ-
~ ity of the United Railroads in
the defense of Abe Ruef. 1t came
through the arrest in Portland of
Alexander S. Latham, the fugitive wit
ness, who drove Ruef's automobile at
the time the chief boodler carried his
currency laden shirt box from the office
of Tirey L. Ford to the Western ma
tional bank. When William j. Burns
made an application in Sacramento last
evening for the requisition papers it
developed that J. E. Harper. a San
Francisco attorney. had already visited
the governors office to protest against
extradition. Harper occupies offices in
the Balboa building a floor below the
United Railroads. The connection at
once became obvious.
Latham is one of the most important
witnesses against Ruef, as we'll as Call
houn. He was hustled out of the state
when wanted in the trial of Ford. Since
then the agents of the prosecution have
been on his trail. Not only had the
higher ups of San Francisco heard of
the intended arrest and taken steps to
nullify it's effects, but a few moments
after Lathan's arrest, despite the fact
that he was without funds, former SEN
ator John M. Gearin had been retained
TO fight extradition.
The San Francisco call., 1908-11-18
Charge Against Latham

Burns replied that the statement was
false, asserting that there was felony
charge against Latham in department
four of the San Francisco police court,
where the records show that Latham is
accused of having accepted a bribe to
leave the state to avoid giving testi-
mony. When this explanation had been
made to him Cooper sent the following
telegram to Harper:
"Requisition has been demanded for
Alex S. Latham. Hearing has been set
for Wednesday, November 1S, at earli-
est possible hour. Application, based
on complaint filed in department No.
charging Latham with receiving a
bribe."
Cooper then wired Governor Cham
berlain of Oregon asking that Latham
be held in custody pending the hearing
in Sacramento 1t is believed that the
extradition of Latham will be demanded
by Cooper on behalf of Governor Gill
lett. Assistant District Attorney Rob-
ert Harrison will go to Sacramento
today to act for the state.
At his home at 1872 Forty-second ave-
nue. Harper stated last night that he
had merely acted for Latham out of
friendship for the young mans father
He said he had known the family in
Denver and took the matter up as a.
favor to the family. He said that La
thans father had come to him few
days ago with the information that
the boy was about to be arrested.
Latham Will Fight
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 17.-In an
Interview tonight Latham said: "Ill
tell you why left San Francisco. 1t
was because Detective Burns, who is
running things in the graft cases, made
me come to court every day. He'd take
me in his office and keep me there for
hours. On that account 1 could not
work. l have wife to support. and
so when I got tired Of the foolishness
left.
Il have not got much money, but I'll
hire lawyer and fight requisition to
the bitter end. 1 went to see John M.
Gearin before my arrest, as 1 suspected
I was being shadowed. 1 do not know
yet whether he will act as my attor-
ney."

Biggy's Acts Draw Wrath

Chief of Police Biggy drew the
lions share of the wrath of the
women. He was scored as a blunder-
er and proclaimed as utterly incom-
petent. Several speeches were made
demanding his immediate removal,
but it was finally decided to deal with
Biggy later and to press forward at
once with the campaign to give
strength to the prosecution.
At a second meeting, to be held at
IL o'clock this morning, arrangements
will be made for the mass meeting. A
few men thoroughly conversant with
the present situation will be invited
to speak, but otherwise the women
will conduct the entire affair them
selves. There will be women speak
ers, and resolutions, will be adopted
expressive of the strong sentiment
prevailing.
A demand will be made at once
upon all tradesmen that they define
their attitude toward the prosecution.
The women will pledge themselves to
deal only with those who support the
war upon the evil forces in San Fran
cisco. This will be not only means
of expressing approval with the swift
prosecution of all the graft cases, but
will be an answer to the time worn

SCORE THE POLICE
AND VENAL PRESS
Women Pledge Themselves to
Active Campaign in Graft
Prosecution

ORE than 100 women gathered
M yesterday afternoon in the
H assembly room of the Pacific
building and pledged them
selves to uphold the graft prosecu-
ton, to drive corruption from the city
and to bring about the publication of
the police department. 1t was one
of the most significant meetings that
has sprung from the attempt to as
sassinate Francis ]. Heney. In the
assemblage were women OF all walks
of life.
There was a calm earnestness
throughout the session, and at its
conclusion a decision was reached to
call mass meeting of the women of
the city to cooperate with the
awakened forces for decency.
Mrs. Alfred Gerberding presided
and was assisted by Mrs. A. Stark
They advised a definite plan of pro-
cedure, and another meeting will be
held today to outline plan of action.
Not only were the boodlers as
sailed, but attacks were made on
every influence that .countenanced a
lax morality. The venal press was
denounced and effective methods
proposed by which the hired newspa-
pers might be forced to honesty. The
Chronicle and Examiner were brand
ed as the partners in crime of the
wealthy grafters and bribe givers.

Engaged by Telegraph

Gearin was engaged by telegraph
from San Francisco apparently by the
United Railroads. A short time after
his arrest Latham sent for former
United States Attorney j. H. Hall.
who was convicted by Heney of COM
plicity in the Oregon land frauds.
1t has not been discovered how the
local higher ups learned of the fact
that Latham was about to be arrested,
but it is possible that some of the
many wire messages had been tam
pered with.
When Burns received word yesterday
that Latham had been apprehended he
hastened to Sacramento to see the
governor. Gillett was indisposed, but
Burns conferred with his secretary c.
Z. Cooper, and asked that the neces-
sary papers be forwarded to Portland
Cooper replied that J. E. Harper, an
attorney with offices in the Balboa
building in San Francisco, had made
verbal protest to Cooper on Sunday
against extradition in the Latham case
Harper had told Cooper that there was
no charge against Latham and that he
was wanted here merely as witness

ABE RUFF FAILS
TO DELAY TRIAL
Prosecution Refntes BOOdler's
Plea That Attack on Heney
Preiudiced Defense

~ THOROUGHLY whipped and dis
credited at the end of two days
E of frantic endeavOr to prevent
immediate resumption of his
trial and with every resource for
delay exhausted, Abe Ruef will be
brought face to face again this morn
ing with the jurors who are to decide
his fate Every technical obstruction
that Ruef's attorneys could interpose
has been brushed aside, and this
morning the trial will be resumed at
the point where it was interrupted
by an assassin's attempt to end the
life of Francis j. Heney.
After tolerating for two days the
dilatory tactics Of Attorneys Henry
Ach and Thomas B. Dozier. Judge
Lawlor brought delay to an end yes
terday afternoon by denying every
motion that had been interposed in
Reuf's behalf 1t was the result that
even Ruef and his own attorneys have
forseen since, in bad faith. they adopt
ed a pretense of outraged feeling and
pleaded with semblance of sincerity
for a new beginning of the entire
trial
That the defense expected no real
advantage to Ruef to accrue from the
two days battle was evidenced by Ach
when the final decision of the court
was given.
1--WE note an exception" he re-
marked quietly. "and we are ready to
proceed"
Day of Strenuous Fighting
1t was a day of strenuous fighting
by both prosecution and defense that
preceded the giving of decisions deny
ing the motions for change of venue,
for 80 days delay, for the discharge Of
the jury and for permission to inter-
rogate the jurors, but it was a fight
that served as an object lesson for
the prosecuting attorneys newly in
volved IN the case and for the scores
of law loving citizens who crowded
the courtroom Blind to everything
but an absorbing desire to work delay,
the defense stripped its-real self naked
to the public gaze, and those who saw
for the first time looked on aghast
at the squirming thing exposed.
Advance or retreat as he might,
however, to gain particular end. Ach
found himself dozen times baked by
the determined, unyielding, uncom-
promising front of the prosecution.
In the ranks of the prosecution one
idea dominated. 1t was the demand
for immediate progress, and beyond it
Ach could not reach. Craftily he
tried, late in the afternoon, to work
into the record a personal version of
the attempted murder Of Heney. I'm
