Which viii Act ~ Stay Of Execu,
tion IN Case.
Abraham Ruef. former political boss
Of San Francisco, was sentenced 10
fourteen years in the state penlten-
tiary at San Quentin prison. Sentence
WAS pronounced by Judge William p.
lawlor, who presided over Ruef's trial
on the charge OF Birding member Of
the Schmitz board OF supervisors in
the award OF an overhead trolley fran
chise to the United Railroads. The
trial, which ended with . conviction
on Dec. 10. was one Of the most cele-
brated in the history Of San Fran
cisco.
Judgment was pronounced at the
close of day devoted to a legal bat
tie, wherein the defense sought TO in
troduce many reasons for new trial.
When Judge Lawlor had denied this
and other motions involving delay,
the defendant arose at the court 5
command and stood unmoved through
the recital Of judgment.
There was no demonstration OH the
part of the spectators during the pro-
ceedings in the courtroom nor later
when Ruef, having entered the prison
van in the custody OF deputy sher-
IN, started on his long ride to the coun-
ty jail. Before the adjournment of
court notice Of appeal had been filed
on behalf OF the defendant and the
court had signed a writ of probable
cause. which will act as stay OF
execution in the case.
One OF the many incidents that
tends to make the trial OF Ruef re-
markable was the shooting of Assist
ant District Attorney Francis ]. Heney
by Morris Haas. an ex-convict. whose
past record was exposed by the prose-
cutor after Haas had been accepted as
a member Of the jury in Ruef's second
trial. Haas subsequently committed
suicide In the county Jail.

The election of Prof. Walter S.
buchanan to the presidency of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, at Normal, Ala, to succeed
the late Prof. w. H. Council, Is gen.
orally endorsed by educators every
where. Prof. Buchanan is grad
uate of Tuskegee Institute and will
bring to the northern Alabama

and thought imbibed from his alma
mater. He will doubtless bring the
two institutions into a closer reIa-
tionship than has existed between
them heretofore, and make the work
OF each more effective because of
such sympathetic cooperation. Prof.
Buchanan's efforts at Corona mark
him as young man Of broad ideas
and energetic methods, and Normal
will afford him the larger field he
needs for the exercise of his pro
nounced talents.
