GALLAGHER PUT
TO HARD TEST
ACH'S QUERIES TELL PLAINLY
ON WITNESS
Excitement Caused by Appearance in
Court Rooom of Man Who
Looks Like Dead As
sassin

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-Former
Supervisor James L. Gallagher con-
tinued to testify today under cross
examination in the trial of Abraham
Ruef.
In monotonous repetition the witness
was forced to go over again and again
the various bribery deals and transact
lions with the board of supervisors In
which he said he had acted as the
agent of Ruef.
Henry Ach, chief counsel for Ruef.
directed such a rapid fire of questions
at the former supervisor that Gala
CHER lost his customary composure and
plainly showed the effect Of the grilling
to which he was being subjected.
Judge Lawlor rebuked Ach for dila-
tory tactics and the proceedings both
in the morning and afternoon sessions
were marked by frequent clashes be-
tween counsel.
An incident of the day was the APP
pearance in the court room of a man
bearing such startling resemblance TO
Morris Haas, the assailant OF Assistant
District Attorney Heney, that he I'M
mediately attracted the attention of the
dozen or more detectives and was the
cynosure of all eyes.
The man, whose identity could not be
learned, remained but few minutes IN
the court room.
Excitement over the shooting of Mi.
Heney has subsidized and the resultant
interest aroused anew in Ruef's trial
has so far waned that the court room,
with a capacity of but 300, was but
half filled today by spectators.
While there was still strong force
of police in and around the building,
they were less in evidence. and kept
under cover as much as possible.

WORTH 100000 TEN YEARS

whisky Did It," Says James Short
we'll, Who Must Work Out a
Fifty Dollar Fine In
st. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20.--Ten years ago
a prosperous business man, worth
100000, with a loving family and bright
prospects.
Today an inmate of the city work
house, serving out fine of $50 imposed
for begging on the streets of st. Louis.
Those are two chapters in the life OF
James Shortwell, so years old.
In police court Friday he sat with
his head bowed in shame and admitted
that what the officer said was true. He
had been begging at Broadway and
Washington avenue. but he was in
toxicated when he did 1t.
1t Was Whisky
"Of course, it was whisky that made
me beg 1t was whisky that caused all
my troubles. 1t ruined me-" he said.
Judge Tracy fined the old man $50
more in mercy toward him than as
a punishment.
"In the workhouse you will be I'M
able to get whisky. You will have time
to think. You will have enough work
to do to put you in good physical trim
and maybe you will find yourself again
and come out with good resolutions and
strength of will enough to keep them, "
the judge said to him.
Shortwell yet shows signs of the re-
spectability that was once his, although
there are upon his face the deep lines
of dissipation.
Owned Two Big Stores
"Ten years ago I owned two hard
ware stores in New York state" said
Shortwell. zone of them was in
Poughkeepsie and the other in Yon-
kers. 1 was worth 100000.
Business got bad, began to worry,
and to forget my trouble I began drink
ing. I went from bad to worse and
lost my business.
81 came west to st. Louis, trying to
reform and lead different life, and
for while 1 did So
'T held two good positions here, one
as city salesman for a large hardware
store Then drink got the upper hand
of me. My family, to escape the dis
grace 1 brought upon them, went to
Los Angeles, leaving me behind, but
sending me weekly allowances, which
l spent for drink. That is my story"
Shortwell says one of his daughters

PICKING. Nov. 2O.-It is becoming
increasingly evident that Prince Chun.
the regent, is taking matters of gov
eminent into his own hands and that
he resents any Interference from the
Dowager Empress Yehonala or the
members or the grand council.
vigorously worded edict issued by
the regent today in the name of the
emperor sets forth that his authority
was received from the late dowager
empress and commands obedience to
him. 1t says in part:
AN imperial clansmen are ordered
to give a greater degree of obedience
than others; this is for the effect of
the example. Disobeying princes and
officials will be dealt with without
lenieney. Our purpose in this is to full
fill the command of the late doawgeT
empress and to satisfy the people,
The wording of the edict indicates
the existence of dissension in the Inn
perlal family, and the disposition to
take matters into his own hands is in
dicated by other reports from the
palace regarding the prince regent.
Advising Too onerous
The regent, it is said, has found adj
vising with Yehonala onerous and
his consultation with her are becoming
more and more perfunctory. He is re-
ported to have arrogated to himself
the imperial prerogative and the
phraseology of his edict today bears
out this presumption.
Furthermore, his manner with the
members of the grand council is grow
ing more summary every day. He nov
gives his opinions to the council in
the form of orders.
The second edict issued today is d.
rected against the revolutionaries
1t is
1.-Two misfortunes have befallen the
| country, but In accordance with the
arrangements effected by the late en-
peror and the late dowager empress
order prevails in the empire.
| Foreign treaties will be observed
and the countries in sympathy with
China are making their intercourse
more intimate.
1T is a fact, however, that lawless
| conSpirators recently have tried to in
wade the interior. These men must be
severely dealt with, and all officials are
| hereby ordered to arrest and summari-
ly behead them wherever found. These
officials will be properly rewarded"
In ciew of the impression in Picking
that unofficial tranquility exists
throughout the empire, this second
| edict is not understood.

fair to be the grandest exhibition OF
football that ever was played between
the two elevens. Mckay, Dunlap

to see the midget quarterback become
a candidate for the All-American team
by his work against Yale tomorrow.
The former English high school boy is

he has succeeded in impregnating the
huge team with his own life and snap.
Cutler is the best quarterback on the
Crimson squad and he should play

however.

of his strong line bucking. They make
up that awful cannonading attack
which tears the vitals from any OPP

nard will do the kicking with that
sturdy left foot of his If Burr does not
get into the game, and Corbett will
work those slSin-tackle plays on either
side of the line.

Although weeping, the woman, who
is of middle age and one of the best
known residents of the mainland town,

titude.
Judge Endicott ordered the sale of
the Somers property several days ago,
after the death of her husband, who
left farm and other real estate. Mrs.
Somers, who was named as executrix,
failed to carry out the order, and cred
itors of the dead man made complaint
to the court
