RUFF WANTS RENT FOR
LITTLE PRIVATE JAIL

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-Abe
Ruef not only wants immunity, but he
wants his money back. His attorneys
say that it is a matter of principle.
The prosecution agrees, but says that
it should be spelled principal" Their
only surprise is that Ruef did not ask
for interest as We'll In q suit yester-
day afternoon Ruef asks that he be
recompensed with S4659.95. the amount
he was obliged ta spend for the main
tenance of his prison quarters at Pa
cif1c avenue and Fillmore street. He
names as defendants Judge Frank H.
Dunno, Rudolph Spreckels, William
H. Langdon, william J. Burns, Fran
els J. Heney and William J. Biggy and
asks the court to order these men to
pay him the amount stated.
a statement from Ruef's camp con-
cerning the announcement that the
real purpose Of the suit was not to
obtain the money, but to show that
until January S, 1905 the prosecution
had acted as though it regarded the
immunity contract as still in force. It
was added that should the court award
the S465q 95 Ia Ruef, he would donate
il to charity. The prosecution is in
clined 10 regard this as another little
Joke on charity.

either of the two courses mentioned.
The schemes among Senate and
House Democrats for bringing out a
rival to Bryan. have been abandoned
along with the REIMBURSEMENT of ef-
forts to the same end in New York. IT
Is said nothing more will likely be
heard Of them. There are still many
Democratic Congressman who think
Bryan's election prospects very du-
bious. They get occasional consolation
from Republican Congressman, who say
privately that Bryan is stronger than
he ever was and who go SO far as to
class Mr.. Bryan as "a property man."
One of the wealthiest Republicans in
the Senate and also one of its best
politicians had as his dinner guest here
a few evenings ago, the president of
one of the strongest and best known
banks in New York city. He was much
surprised to learn that this bank presi-
dent had heard Bryan's speech on eco
nomics in New York recently and that
in the main this bank president agreed
with him.
.The conservative business people
are studying Bryan very carefully
these days." said this Senator. "He
has captivated the moral and religious
elements by the wonderful series of
lectures he has been delivering up and
down the country the last two or three
years. If this incipient movement in
his favor among conservative men con-
he will, in my judgment, become
very formidable"
However, the prospect of the Demo-
cratic party becoming outwardly har-
monious interests the politicians chief
ly at present.

CMail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 26.-The
barriers in the way of Bryans nomina-
tion have been quietly moved aside in
recent days. Henceforth he probably
will not have to jump even a hurdle
in his ante-convention campaign The
Democratic leaders say it is a very
important development. They claim it
means harmony within the party for
the big presidential struggle. They
claim, too, tnat conservatives will sup
port him earnestly, in preference to
any Republican who can be named for
the presidency.
The first special evidence of this
movement comes in an authoritative
word from New York. 1t is to the eff
ect that conservative Democrats over
there have abandoned their campaign
for Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota.
The anti-Bryan campaigns of the last
three or four months have all emana-
ted from the metropolis. The names
of Lieut. Gov. Chandler of New York;
Judge George Gray of Delaware; and
ex-Attorney General Harmon of Ohio,
have all been conjured with at inter-
walls. There has been cooperation from
a few Democrats in Congress. One of
the latest ideas here in Washington
was to start a favorite son campaign.
1t never got very far.
1t has been known here for some
time that the conservative New York
Democrats were coming around to ac-
quiesce in the Nebraskan's nominal
tion. The statements came from such
sources that their reliability could not
be questioned. Such turn was, made
all the more certain with the collapse
lately of attempts to get Gov. Johnson
into the running. His boom was ad-
vanced in New York by influences that
inflamed the radical forces within the
party and alike the radical elements
identified with the Independence
League. The hopelessness of nomina-
ting Mr.. Johnson in the face of such
opposition and the utter futility of such
a nomination, could it be made, were
recognized.
AT the same time 1t is believed that
Bryan has an understanding by which,
under certain conditions, ne will have
the support of Hearst's Independence
League Chief of these conditions will
be the acceptance of some Independ-
ence League favorite as a running
mate. These things are not altogether
pleasant for the conservatives, but
those who can not swallow the pill
will have to content themselves with !
going fishing election day or by voting |
the straight Republican ticket. In
view of Republican dissensions, which |
improve Democratic prospects, and the /
radical propensities of the Republicans, |
it is claimed that comparatively few |
Democrats will adopt |

CRUISER BUILT AND
LAUNCHED IN TWO MONTHS

The japanese naval office is congrat-
uIating itself and the vernaeular
press of the empire is filled with praise
over the feat recently accomplished
of launching the first-class armored
cruiser Ibuk from the government
shipbuilding yards, at Kure, within
six months after the laying down of
the keel Not only do the Japanese
believe that they have beaten all prev
ious records for speed in the construc-
ton of war vessels of this class, but
the Ibuki also is unique because of
the fact that from keel to fighting top
she was built entirely Of materials
forged and put together in japanese
government yards.
The cruiser Ibulxi, which was launch
ed by Prince Higashi-Fushimi on Nov
ember 81. is a sister ship to the Ku-
rama, recently launched at the Yoko-
suka yards. Her length is $50 feet,
beam 75.s feet and displacement $4,000
tons. Fitted with the Miya bara boiler,
the invention of a Japanese naval Of
fcer, and the Curtis turbine, the Ibuki
is expected to develop 22,500 horse
power
Both the Ibukf and her sister ship.
the Kurama, were designed by Japa-
nese naval engineers, as all Of the bat
tleships recently built in Japan have
been The keel was laid al Kure in
Nav. 1907, and Immediately a double
force of men was put at work. The
naval office denies that any special
effort was made to rush the cruiser
through to completion, but the Japa-

not averse to a demonstration of just
how quickly a fighting macfhne could
be turned out by it's artisans.
Every ounce of steel used in the
OF the new cruiser came
from either the Kure Steel Foundry,
which is a part Of the great naval
plant at that port. or the WakamatsuI

subsidized by the government. Here
tofore Japan had been dependent in a
greater or less measure upon England
ard America for armor plate and until
very recent years for the heavy guns
and turret parts. but in the case of
the Ibuki even the armor plate ingots
were stamped into shape and the tur-
ret plates forged at the Kure and
wakamatsu foundries. Nobody but
japanese was admitted to the yard
where the Ibuki was built during the
course Of her construction.
The speed in building the Ibuki was
almost equaled in the case OF the first
class battleship Aki. which was
launched from the yards of the Kurs
plant some months ago just eight
months after her keel was laid. The
Aki is Of 10000 tons displacement. In
her case night and day forces Of men
were employed and the Naval Office
strained every nerve 70 get the big
boat into the water as soon as possi-
bic.
The ability Of the japanese ship
builders is remarkable when the fact
is taken into consideration that prior
to the summer Of 1904 nothing bigger
than a gunboat had been built at any
of the government yards. Under the
spur Of war the Naval ONCE began %

plants as rapidly as possible for per-
feet independence Of American and
English manufactures.
Kure on the Inland Sea and Yoko-
suka IN Toxic Bay are both in mac
cessible pockets, because Of the mar
rowness OF the entrances to the Inland
Sea and the tremendous fertilization
works that have been put at each
avenue. Were the existing japanese
fleet to be swept from the sea an
other could be built at these two plants
secure from the guns OF an enemy un-
less the island itself was successfully
invaded.

by the Aorangi last Saturday there
passed through Honolulu, one of the
best known mining and mechanical
engineers Of the Northwest, George A.
Carter, on his way to New Zealand to
become the engineer for a syndicate
of capitalists there in a mining ven-
ture that promises to, rival the best
known gold mines in the world.
On the west coast of the South Is
land of New Zealand there is a vast
body of black sand which contains a
large proportion of gold. The existence
of the sands and their extent, and the
fact that they contained free gold has
been known for many years, but no
satisfactory method of working them
has ever before been devised. The
usual methods of placer mining will
not do, partly because of the slight
difference between the specific gravity
of the sand and the free gold, but
chiefly because the sand Has a scour-
ing action that carries out the quick
silver from the sluices.
A syndicate has recently secured
control of a large portion of this de-
posit of sand, and has been in nego-
tiation for some time with Mr.. Baker,
sending him large quantities of the
sand to experiment with. Mr.. Baker
after much experimenting has devised
a system of separating the sand from
the gold by the use of the magnetic
current. A very large proportion OF
the black sand consists of iron in COM
bina ton with other elements. The iron
is in different combinations. But it is
to make use of the attrac-
tion of the magnet to separate the
sand from the gold.
"As yet" said Mr.. Baker while in
1--WE have not considered any
of the sand, except that
having separated it by this process we
will keep it separate. Whether it can
be developed into a profitable by-prod-
uct remains to be seen. At present
our plans are for the securing Of the
gold. The sand which consists Of iron
in combination with other elements is
the sand that has made separation
difficult in the past. Get that out and
the remaining sand mixed with the
gold is easily handled"

Wrather, John Golding.
In the absence OF County Chair
man H. H. Cooper, W, II. Ingerton
acted as chairman at the meeting.
John Golding acted as secretary.
Republicans, according to leaders
of the party here, now have a vot-
ing strength of nearly 400 votes in
the county and hold the balance OF
power. While the Terrell election
law makes it practically impossible
for the Republican members OF the
minority party to have any part in
the choice at the polls of county Of
flcials, Republican leaders here say
the Terrell law will help the party in
one respect by making a stronger
party organization possible. In this
election and campaign and hereaft-
err the Republican organization will
be more active than 1t has in the
past but whether or not it will take
part directly in county affairs or not,

EXPECT 4 DECISION.
Land in Which Amarillo People In
tcrestcd May BE Opened.
(ErOm SATURDAYS Dailvl

A decision in regard to the disput-
ed strip OF land north of Texico,
Clovis and Blaclltower in New Mex
leo, Is expected in the next few
w,LB or months, according to par
ties who have been investigating the
matter
This strip Of land II will be re-
membered was the cause Of a rush to
New Mexico last fall on the report
that It did not properly belong to
the Santa Fe railroad. which has
claimed 1t, but was open for home
stead entry. Many Amarillo people
were among those who went to New
Mexico and filed on quarter sections
in the strip which includes some
thirteen hundred claims of that size.
Practically all the land Is tillahle
and as the land around it is being
transformed into rich farms the val.
use OF the claims In this strip is cor
respondingly important.
This land was claimed by the
Santa Fe railroad company on a
transfer of scrip given it by the gov
eminent from some land in the Zuni
reservation in Arizona. 1t has been
claimed that this scrip does not cor
respond in value to the Ind given
the company in Arizona and that the
transfer cannot be equally made.
The case Is now under consideration
by the interior department. AS the
tract includes large area directly
north of several new towns which
would be greatly helped by the de-
yelopment OF this territory, the cit
liens of these towns are directly in
terested in having the case settled
and are assisting in the efforts to-
ward securing a decision In the case
and the opening OF the strip to ac-
tual settlers.
