CALHOUN TRIAL
NEARING CLOSE.
Evidence of the State viii Be
Completed Today-Defense
Likely to Rest.

San Francisco. June 9.-Definite an
nouncement relating to the end of the
trial of Patrick Calhoun, which has al
five months, was made today when As
sistant District Attorney Francis ].
Heney stated that the case of the peO-
pie was virtually completed and would
be closed tomorrow with the submission
Of fragmentary testimony.
Mr.. Heney's statement was accepted
as an acknowledgment that Abraham
Ruef, the political boss convicted of
participation in the bribery charged to
the president of the United Railroads,
would not be called as a witness. Ruefs
attitude, since his sentence to fourteen
years in the penitentiary was pro-
nounced last December, has been a sub
ject of conjecture, and it was believed
that he might be produced I'm court as
a climax to the series of sensations that
has characterized the trial.
Whether or not the defense will offer
any testimony is doubtful. The attor-
neys for Calhoun declined TO make any
statement tonight, and predictions
based upon the three trials of TREY L.
Ford. an official of the United Rail-
roads, who was tried on a similar
charge, were in support of the theory
that no witnesses would be called. In
this event, the opening argument for
the prosecution, which will be made by
Assistant District Attorney John
O'Gara, may be expected on Friday, and
the case certainly will be submitted to
the jury next week.

postpone action. 1t is expected that
Senator Bailey VIII protest vigorously
against this delay.
In view of the short time that re-
mains before the date popularity fixed
in the public mind for adjournment Of
TIE present session, some Of the income
tax advocates are not inclined to insist
upon a vote at the present session, if
the proposition be referred to the ju-
dietary committee with instructions to
report 70 the senate early in the next
regular session
So far as the pending tariff bill is
concerned. some Republican leaders
fear that any plan TO tax the net earn
ings of corporations might be hailed as
a Democratic idea for the reason that
Senator Daniel has pending an amend
ment 10 do that very thing.
Mr.. Cuiberson, the minority leader in
a statement issued tonight, said:
AT the beginning of the discussion Of
the tariff. al this session the Democrat Is
met twice in conference and the tariff
generally. as well as an income tax.
was fully discussed. It was formally
and unanimously agreed to support the
income amendment which had been
prepared by Senator Bailey. So far
as I know or believe there has been no
change in sentiment. and I have no
doubt therefore that all Democrats will
support the amendment and viii insist
upon a prompt disposition of it tOmOr-
row"
At the night session Republican lead
ers were engaged in trying to har-
monize the differences concerning an
income tax or a corporation law

havoc, and suggested that they be turned
into the Jordan at Sixth West street
They were informed that Willard Snow,
county road commissioner, had been work
ing on such a proposition for three days,
but without much success. A further er-
fort will be made to hold the stream By
united effort
As a result Of the floods from the River
Jordan six families, one from Tenth
South and the others from Glendale ave
nue., are without a place to stay. The
water has invaded their homes and they
are too poor to pay for lodgings. Friends
were making an effort to interest the
county commissioners in their behalf yes
terday afternoon, but did not arrive in
the city and county building until the
commissioners and the pauper clerk had
left.
There are said to be seventeen families
who were driven from their homes on
Tuesday night. The district covered there
is i'm the neighbOrhOOd Of 400 acres in
