Documents Alleged to Have Been
Stolen from District Attorneys
Office Are Produced in
the Court Room.
NOT MADE PUBLIC
Documents Will Be Admitted as Evil
dence.-WitneSs Declares That De-
tectiVe Helms Invited Bribe.-Ex-
plotted Dynamiting of the Gallagher
Home.

CAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-Issues
disconnected, but relating to i'm
portant incidents in the graft
prosecution were presented today for
the consideration of the patient jury
in the case of Patrick Calhoun, presi-
dent of the United Railroads Two
packages sealed by order of superior
judge and alleged by the prosecution
to contain documents stolen from the
office of an agent of the district at
torney's office, were opened by direc-
tion of Judge William P. Lawlor, and
introduced as evidence, although the
character of the documents was not
made known.
Alonzo Munroe, a former district
attorney of Eureka, Humboldt county,
and now an attorney of that city, was
questioned as to his relations with
John Helms, a detective employed by
the United Railroads, who recently
appeared in the trial as a witness for
the prosecution. Munroe gave sen
sational turn to the proceedings of
the late Afternoon by declaring that
Helms, through Lamb, the rancher of
northern California, had invited an Of
fer of $4,000 to prevent him giving
testimony favorable to the prosecu-
tion. He was still under examination
when court adjourned for the day.
The dynamiting of former Super
visor James L. Gallagher's home in
Oakland was another subject exploit
ed during the day and Jos. H. Hand
Ion, claim agent of the United Rail-
roads, was called as witness to tell
of the employment of Felix Paudever-
is, a Greek, who has been vainly
sought by the prosecution as an al
legged accessory in the crime for which
John Claudianese is serving life SEN
tence.
Handlon said that he employed and
directed Paudeveris on his own re-
sponsibility and that he had last seen
him on July IA, 1908, three months
after the dynamiting. Paudeveris, he
said had come to him with an expla-
nation that he had been on vacation,
was insistent that he be paid $24O due
him; succeeded in getting $40 and then
departed. Handlon declared that he
had never since heard anything from
his former subordinate.

today and is a partial victory for the
count 1t confirmed the decision of

custody of the children but it set
forth that the father alone had the
right to choose their instructor and
designate the college in which they
were to be educated. Furthermore,
Prince Helie De Sagan is excluded
from the list of persons authorized
to visit the children and the counts
contention that the influence of the
prince is pernicious is thus in effect
sustained. The costs of the appeal
are divided.
If the parents cannot agree on

grandmother and George Gould may
visit them The decision sets forth
also that whatever the character and

right that the princess impose upon
her children the influence of her new
husband to prejudice their affections
for their father.

DRAW THE Lines
Cummins Advocates Striking Out OF
Dutch Standard Test to Restrict the
Profits of Trust.-POssibility OF
Sharp Conflict Between Cane Sugar
and Beet Sugar Interests.
WASHINGTON, May 27,-By
the decisive vote of 80 to

EAYASHlNGlO May ZG.-Dy
the decisive vote of 80 to
w 33, the senate decided to-
day to postpone until June ~,
further consideration of the IN
come tax in connection with the
tariff.
Consideration of the sugar schedule
was continued but after two amend
ments to it were voted on, the
senate switched to discussion OF
possibility of getting vote on the
Bailey income tax amendment. Mr..
Bailey forcibly argued for vote but
did not succeed in prevailing on Sena-
tor Aldrich to concede vote in ad-
vance of the tariff schedule.
The two amendments to the sugar
schedule voted upon were those elm
mating the duties on standard test
and lowering the duty on refined
sugar from 1.90 cents per pound to
1922 cents per pound. Both were
defeated, the former by vote OF 80
to At and the latter by vote of 81
to SO. On the first vote II Republic
cans voted with the Democrats for
the amendments but the second only
seven Republicans broke ranks.
1t was considered somewhat signl-
ficant that the two Louisiana sena-
tors, Messrs Foster and McEnry, the
only senators representing cane su-
gar producing state, should have been
the only Democrats to vote with the
Republicans on the Dutch standard
proyision and this was made the more
significant because of the fact that
today for the first time the POSSIBLE
ity Of a sharp conflict between cane
sugar and beet interests was ind1-
Gated. Mr.. Cummins made this the
text for long speech. The cane su-
gar men did not respond. Mr.. Cum
minis advocated the striking out OF the
Dutch standard test and the differen-
tiaI on refined sugar
This action he thought, would re-
strict the profits of the sugar trust
and thus cause that institution to lose
it's domination in the sugar trade
while on the other hand the beet su-
gar makers would be benefited.

Senator Bailey of Texas,
w and w. S. Manning, rep
resentative of the New York
Times, in the senate press gal
lery, exchanged blows just as the
senate adjourned today as a re-
suit of conversation they had
in reference to an article printed
by the New York newspapers,
questioning the sincerity of the
senator in his course on the in
come tax.
Neither was injured, as they were
separated by Senator Clapp, Porto
Rican Commissioner Larringa, a
number of senate employees and sew
eral newspaper correspondents. Mr..
Bailey in the senate made bitter at
tack upon the author of an article in
the New York Times charging that
Senator Bailey had played into the
hands of Senator Aldrich by his
course in demanding an immediate
vote on the income tax amendment,
and had thus caused split of the
forces supporting such an amend
ment. Mr.. Manning accosted Mr..
Bailey after adjournment to inform
him that he was inaccurate in sug-
gesting Republican senator's as a pos
sible source of inspiration for the
article.
Mr.. Bailey asked who wrote the
article and at the same time de-
clared, it is said, that the man who
had written it was liar
The senator's language was very
emphatic and Mr.. Manning responded
that he "had not had the honor to
write the story"
Mr. Bailey said that the word "hon-
or" was emphasized in manner in
tended to be offensive. Mr.. Manning
was directly in front of the door lead
ing to the finance committee and also
in front of one of the private eleva-
tors. Several persons heard the word

GERMAN URANIUM

Stockholders in the German Uran-
ium and Gold Mining company are
rejoicing over the rich strike made in
the 13O-foot level of the German mine
this last week This mine which is
owned by Bishop Matt of Denver,
and leased to the operating company,
has always been regarded as a strict
ly uranium proposition and the re-
cent development OF the property has
been made for the sole purpose of
uncovering a vein of pitch blende,
supposed to exist within 200 feet Of
the surface. Last week the miners
in the 130-foot level suddenly en-
countered rich looking vein of the
peacock variety similar to that mined
in the Alps, Pittsburg, and other very
profitable properties. Following up
their discovery the crevice widened
until now streak over IL inches in
width and reaching to the top of the
drift is revealed.
Assays taken from different por-
tions of the find show values run
ming from s135 to s1S5 per ton. There
is enough ore in sight to fully guar
antee that the mine will be number
ed among the most profitable prop
critics in the county. The German is
located in which is known as the
uranium belt of Quartz hill, almost
midway between the famous Kirk and
Belcher mines, both of which are
large producers of uranium. 1t was
originally operated by Max Steadman
and Mert Whalen, who although con
fident that the mine contained ore OF
value, lacked the capital to sufficient
ly develop it. 1t is a source of con
graduation that the present strong
company have taken hold Of this
property. Mr.. Miller, the efficien,
superintendent, while much gratified
over the discovery of copper in pay
ing quantities declares that his search
for uranium will not be abandoned as
it is the opinion Of all well informed
mining men that a vein of that elus
i've but valuable metal will be found
when the drift now being worked is
driven to the east few hundred feet
AS soon as the weather permits the
mammoth hoist recently purchased
of VIM. Lewis will be installed anc
