absent member of the council during
the work of the evening, which start
ed about eight-thirty and the hour

Of next Monday evening. Effort was
made to adjourn to some other evening
of this week, but no evening could
be found upon which the members
could be present in sufficient number
to pass the desired ordinance.
The chairman OF the ordinance com
mittee through the city solicitor, Chas.
C. Orvls, presented an entirely new or
dinance as its report upon the three
hundred dollar license which the coun-
Gil in its work of last week proposed
to assess against all scales doing a

PATRICK CALHOUN ON TRIAL
ANOTHER ALLEGED SAN FRAN.
CISCO CRATER IN COURT.
Accused Of Offering a Bride to FREQ
Nicholas, One Of the Boodling
T. ftG City Officials.

San Francisco Jan. 12.-Patriek
Calhoun, president of the United
Railroads and the capitalist whom
Francis J. Heney regards as the arch
plotter of the so-called 'thigher-ups''-
against whom the graft prosecution
has been warning for over two years
went to trial today. His case was
called in Judge Lawlors court, where
nearly four weeks ago, Abe Reuf was
convicted of offering to one of the
boodling supervisors the Dribe which
Calhoun is accused of having placed
in his hand ~ e. -
Calhoun has fumed at the delays
which the graft prosecution intarposed
heretofore whenever he demanded a
speedy trial. He has accused Heney,
Detective Burns, District Attorney
Langdon and Rudolph Spreckles of
needlessly prolonging the suspense.
Both sides in the fight are out for
blood" In the language of the ring
knockout" is all that will end the
struggle, San Francisco, realizing
the intensity of the animosities which
sway the warning factions, is watch.
ing the case ewth bated breath, for
on its outcome hangs the fate of the
graft prosecution. Calhoun, rich,
shrewd and resourceful, has engaged
the cleverest lawyers he could find
and has surrounded them and himself
with small army of private detec,
tives, intently watching every move
made by Burns and his agents. Prose
cutor Heney expects to win, despite
such occupation. Two years warfare
in this city has taught him what to-
expect from his opponents, and he
has learned the weak spots in the ar
mour of his enemies. Heney asserts
that the evidence which will be pre-.
scented against Patrick Calhoun will
be stronger than that used in any OIL
the three trials of TREY L. Ford, chief
counsel for the United Railroads, and
that used in convieting Abe Reuf.
Calhoun is accused of having offer
ed bride to former Supervisor Fred
p. Nicholas, one Of the boodling city
officials, who confessed his crimes
and received immunity in the spring
of 1907. Calhoun was jointly indicted
on March 20, 1908, with Abe Ruef and
TREY l.. Ford, chief counsel for theI
street railroad company. The charge
was that they corruptly influenced the
supervisors to vote for the trolley
franchise Immediately after the fire.

GARY FEUD IN
OPEN COURT
Man Who Strikes Negro
Woman With Axe Is
"Fined and Costed."
HIS Wife HAD USED DIRK
Encounter Between Colored Man and
Wife Is Certainty Quite
Loving.

The Taylor family feud was aired in
Judge Fitzgerald's court in Gary yes
terday. when the colorea man and his
wife who strenuously attempted to kill
each other Sunday morning were tried
on charge of assault and battery. The
result of the case was fine imposed
on Mrs. Taylor of $1,000 and Samuel
Tyler. the man who struck the woman
with an axe, a blow that easily could
have proved fatal, was allowed to go
absolutely free.
Considering the seriousness of the
offense the fine imposed upon the law
less colored people is considered by the
decent element of their own race to
be inadequate and would tend in no
manner to check the reign of crime
that the police have had to deal with
in the past month in the south end
The testimony was to the effect that
Samuel had struck his wife only after
she had lunged at him and cut him
with a dirk. and that his action was in
self-defense. It seemed to those who
heard the case. however, that if it be-
came necessary for man to cut his
wife's head open with an axe to de-
fend himself. the fight must have been
pretty serious and the punishment
should have been more severe. The
police cannot prevent crimes being
committed if the culprits are not ade-
quately punished when they are caught

chairman of the executive board of the

day said there We're no grounds for
the report which had been given wide
circulation during the day that the
declaration for an open market in the

mediate cut in wages amounting to 10
per cent. Mr. Gary added:
"A man to make such a prediction
at this time would be foolish No one
can foresee exactly what the market
will be in the future.
4 know of no report purporting to
have come officially from the United

nounced that there would be a cut in
wages, amounting 70 $75.OO0.0O0. I
have nothing further to add to our po-
sition at this time"
