CALHOUN TO OFFER
NO DEFENSIVE
EVIDENCE
A LENGTHY ARGUMENT .oF THE
CASE BY EACH SIDE WILL
CONCLUDE THE MATTER.

San Francisco, June 11.--The trial
of Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads, charged with brib-
cry, which opened on January u, will
reach the stage of final argument on
next Monday. All preliminaries were
swept away at todays session of
court, when counsel for the defendant
after offering to submit the case with
out argument, agreed to the courts
decision providing for another ar
rangement whereby the attorneys will
inaugurate an unrestricted period of
oratorical effort scheduled to begin

trict Attorney Francis j. Heney, who
appealed to the court for permission
to show that Abraham Ruef was con-
ceded to be the boss of San Fran
cisco during the administration of
Mayor e. r. Schmitz, was denied the
privilege after stirring debate ex-
tending several hours. When the
courts decision was finally pronounced
Mr. Heney stated that the people
had no further testimony to offer and
there was a prompt submission of the
case by Stanley Moore one of the at
torneys for the defendant.
Before the jury was dismissed, Mr..
Heney rejected a proposal to submit
the case without argument, declaring
that the proposal made by one of the
attorneys for the defendant was in
tended as an effort to Influence the
jury. According to arrangements
made before adjournment today, As
sistant District Attorney John J.,
O'Gara will make the opening argu-
ment and will be followed by Alexan-
der King of Atlanta. Ga, of the de-
fense. A. A. Moore, senior counsel for
the defendant, will present the closing
argument on behalf of Mr. Calhoun,
and Mr.. Heney will make the final
argument for the people. 1t is believed
that the case will be submitted to the
jury by Thursday or Friday of next
week

HAS HAzY MEMORY
ABOUT SOME
MRS. GOULD'S INABILITY TO RE.
CALL. CERTAIN MATTERS
DRAWS A REBUkE.

New York, June 11.--What appeared
to be the hazy memory of Mrs. kath-
crime Clemmons Gould on this, the
second day Of her testimony in cross
examination, brought a rebuke from
Justice DoWling who is hearing her
suit for separation from her husband,
Howard Gould. There was tilt be-
tween Lawyers Delaney Nicoll, for
the defense, and Clarence ]. Shearn,
for Mrs. Gould,
Please try to be polite Mr.. Shearn
cautioned Mr.. Nicoll when the latter
asked the witness question sharply
"Oh, l am sick of trying to be po-
lite. I've been polite all day and Mrs.
Gould won't answer a straight ques-
tion,' retorted Mr.. Nicoll.
Yes, the witness has given Mr..
Nicoll much unnecessary trouble"
Justice Bowling interposed.
Mrs. Gould leaned forward eagerly
at this point to meet the next ques-
tion, but just then the clock struck
and adjournment was taken un-
til tomrroW, with the likelihood that
she will remain on the stand through
out the day.
Once Mrs. Gould apologized for her
inability to tell whether certain res
taurant checks We're hers or nbt, say
ing she was not interested in knowing
"hoW her husband spent his money"
Again she could not tell whether
diamond pendant, valued at $4,000,
had been hOupht nv her husband "for
another"
Mr., Nicoll protested vigorously
against this insinuation and Justice
Bowling, with some asperity, ordered
it stricken from the record
The amount of assorted jewelers.,
tailors costumers' and bootmakers'
bills continued to make the spectators
gasp and stare. The articles in
cluded the pearl rope which the wit
ness wore yesterday and today, listed
at $4,000; the disputed pendant, at
s13,30o a diamond chain at $4,000;
a diamond diadem, at $24 900; and
sapphire ring at $4,000. Such little
things as $500 worth Of silk stock
ngs at a time, or s1,525 for shoes,
were trivial by comparison. Five
1ailor-made suits We're ordered at a
cost of s5,8O7.
What was the total amount of the
articles you purchased on Mr. Goulds
credit in 1902" began Mr.. Nicoll as
soon as order was called.
Il could not tell you was the
reply Il have never seen all of the
bills"

is LAID BARE.
DOCUMENTS ARE SEIZED
Offices of Japanese Newspaper and
Higher Wage Association Are
Raided and Papers Showing Scheme
to Control Sugar Industry and
Government Aref Discovered.

Honolulu, June 11.---Evidence of
what the authorities claim is q con-
certed movement on the part of the
Japanese of the Hawaiian group to
control the sugar industry and thus
dominate the internal affairs of the
islands through their number and
power, was disclosed today when the
office of the Jill, a Japanese neWspape
of Honolulu, and the officers of the
Japanese Higher Wage association
We're entered by officers armed with
search warrants and letters, reports
and other documents seized. Follow
ing the confiscation of the papers the
application for a writ of habeas cor
pus entered in behalf Of Maxine, Ne
goro and Soga. the three alleged lead
ers OF the sugar plantation strikes,
who were taken INTO custody ycster
day. was rejected by the court.
1t is claimed by the authorities that
the papers found indicate that con-
spiracy of widespread nature has
been formed among the Japanese Of
the islands to Wrest control Of affairs
from the white residents and conduct
the internal government in their own
interests.
Power to Control.
The letters and reports found in the
office of the Higher Wage association
which, as indicated by its name, has
the financial betterment Of the Jap
anese laborers as it's object, are from
members and agents of the associa-
tion in various parts of the islands.
They express the belief that the strike
Of the Japanese plantation workers Of
fers an opportunity for the Japanese
of the islands by virtue of their num-
bcrs to demonstrate their power to
control the sugar industry and,
through it, the general affairs of the
islands.
The determination to so control, it
is stated, is reiterated again and
again in these documents.
An appeal to all Japanese in the
name of their native country to aid
in this movement is said to be COM
veyed in the letters. The authorities
are preparing complete TRANSACTIONS Of
all the papers seized and it is stated
that they will be used as evidence in
support of many charges of con-
spiracy which it is declared will re-
suit from the disclosures.
Japs Gather.
While the court was deliberating
upon the first habeas corpus petition,
a crowd of a thousand Japanese gath
cred about the court house to await the
outcome The gathering was perfect
ly orderly in it's department and
vented it's spirit in cheers for the
prisoners whenever they came in sight.
A second petition has been filed by
the attorneys for the prisoners, but
has not been acted upon by the court
The strike of the Japanese planta-
tion hands has been in progress for
over a month and is the most extern
sive Walkout ever known on the
islands. Between 5000 and 5000 Jap
anese are involved. The strikers de-
mand an increased wage from 60 cents
to 81 a day for field laborers and a
proportionate advance for mill hands
and other plantation employees.
