RUFF JURY HANGS.
Fails to Agree on Verdict and Is
Discharged.

San Francisco, May 22.-After be-
ing out for forty-three and a half
hours, the jury in the trial of
Abraham Ruef the former political
boss of San Francisco and central
figure in the bribery-graft prosecution
against whom wholesale indictments
were returned, has failed to agree
upon a verdict and was discharged.
The specific charge against Ruef in
the trial just closed was the offer
of bribe of $1,000 to former
Supervisor Jennings Phillips to in
fiuence his vote favorably upon an
electric railroad franchise applied for
by the Parkside Realty company.
The jury, which went out at $3.50
Tuesday night, stood six to six upon
the first ballot and remained so with
out a change during the thirteen bal
lots taken. 1t was learned that the
question upon which the jury split
was the credibility of the witnesses
Fourteen members of the so-called
"boodling board" of supervisors of
the Schmitz administration testified
to the offer of brides, their willing
ness to receive the same and their
actual acceptance of money in some
of the other cases against Ruef. Six
of the jurors, it is said, considered the
supervisors as "accomplices'' who had
been granted immunity by the prose-
cution and commended throughout the
deliberations of the jury that as such
their uncorroborated testimony was
not entitled to credence. There still
remain Ill indictment pending
against Ruef.

pletely wrecked. None Of the injured was
dangerously hurt. with the exception OF
Tony Lambarro. who was crushed by fall
ing timbers and internally injured

fast. The bomb had been placed in the

CONSIDER TRACKAGE REPORT.
Sims Fight for Universal Transfers
Expected This Afternoon.

After the Lilley matter is disposed OF
in the House this afternoon the confer
ence report on the Union station perma-
nent trackage bill will probably be taken
up. Many of the republican leaders OF
the House have assured Representative
Sims of Tennessee that they will stand
by him in opposition to the conference
report. which eliminated universal trans
fers from the perfected bill. AS publish
ed in The Star yesterday. Mr.. Sims. who
is one OF the House conferees on the
measure. has announced that he will
fight until doom's day If necessary, with
the hope of having the universal trans
fers paragraph enacted.
Mr.. Sims today received a letter from
John w. Hayes, general master workman
of the Knights of Labor. in which he saws
in part:
Your fight for universal transfers is
being we'll made. You deserve the hearty
cooperation of all the people who are
compelled to patronize the street car lines
In this city and submit to the many in
justices perpetrated upon them by the
management / sincerely hope that you
will be successful"
Mr.. Sims thinks the conferees' report
will be beaten. II so. the Senate con-
ferees have declared there will be no
tracks to the station provided for at this
session.

HOLDS INTEREST OF HOUSE.
Nothing Discussed Today But the
Lilley Report

1t IL almost needless to say that there
wasn't = thing discussed at the House
end OF the Capitol today save the exec.
ration OF representative Lilley of Con
necticut by the unanimous report of the
nve members of the special committee OF
investigation. Of which Representative
Boutell of Illinois is chairman.
As soon as the clerk began to read the
report this morning. Immediately upon
the converting of the House. and the mem
oers as they entered the chamber found
on their desks printed copy of this dy-
Mantle document and had chance to
glance at the twenty-three distinct con-
illusions arrived at by the committee
everybody began to wonder what would
be the result.
AL day long the House gallery has
oeen crowded with newspaper men
waning TO see what will happen when
the clerk concludes the reading of the
floor. Members are not certain n" inst une
be exploded.
A member Of the House committee
on naVal anairs recalled today for the
introducing his resolution providing fol-
