DUEL OF WITS IN
SAN MATfO TRIAL
Bullock Sticks to Story Through
Searching Examination in
Big Graft Case
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

REDWOOD CITY, March 25.-"Hon-
est John" MacBain today asserted him
self, refusing any longer to be the
scapegoat of his former brother Off
cials in connection with courthouse af-
fairs. Throughout the testimony of
the present graft trials various wit
nesses have found it convenient to pass
the blame for different matters to the
shoulders of the former supervisor
from Menlo Park. On being called for
rebuttal today MacBain's answers gave
an inkling of the feelings which he had
expressed with a wealth of invective
outside the courtroom.
Prosecutor Benjamin objected siren
uously to the jury impressing tactics
of Attorney Linforth of the defense.
Judge Dooling overruIed Benjamin's
objection, but at the same time limited
the questions to those Of the integrity
of the accused official. Robert Wis
nom, c. " Kirkbride and George w.
Hall Of San Mateo, Rev. William A.
Brewer and Henry Maier of Burlin-
game testified as to Coleman's charac-
ter, while b. Hayward of Pescadero
stood sponsor for Blackburn.
Qualifying as an expert in scaglloia
construction, Ferdinand Mayer of the
California scagliola company was the
first witness called by the defense and
gave his cost estimate of that work
for the courthouse, which experienced
practically a $1,000 shrinkage at the
end of Prosecutor Benjamin's cross ex-
animation.

sIacBAIN SHOWS IRE

MacBain was called in rebuttal by
the prosecution and quickly showed
that his ire had been reused by the
testimony of his former colleagues
MacBain denied that he ever handed
the secret" contract to Supervisor
Coleman. former chairman of the su-
pervisors.
MacBain said he had cut out a claim
of Architect Allen for a commission on
the s2,991 contract because he knew
nothing of the awarding of any such
contract to the O'Brien company.
1t is expected that. the examination
of the rebuttal witnesses of the prose-
cution will be concluded tomorrow and
that the case will be in the hands of
the Jury Saturday.

PROVES BATTLE OF WITS

The continuation of the cross eX-
animation of District Attorney Bullock
proved a battle of wits, in which the
county official managed to stick fairly
well to the testimony he had previously
offered. Notwithstanding that the
secret" contract which was taken over
to the county clerks office by Miss
Anna Gillis, Bullock's stenographer,
had the words See Bullock written
upon it Bullock maintained under a
searching cross examination that the
paper which had been delivered with
a message to hold back the fling was

Women In Sweden

Long before there was any woman's
rights agitation women were voting In
Sweden They have had a vote In
church matters, school suffrage and
the municipal vote since the seven
teenth century. In 1862 these privi-
leges were formally ratified into law.
In 1908. women were made eligible to
municipal office. The universal suf-
frage measure enacted into law Feb.
13 secured voting rights to all inhab-
itants over twenty-four years of age,
but previous to It's adoption the wo-
men of Sweden were already voting on
equal terms with their brothers for all
Offices except members of the second
chamber of the riksdag. Women serve
on school boards, boards Of guardians
of the poor and parochial boards. They
are admitted to the postal service and
IRE appointed postmasters and head
clerks at the same salaries as men. In
the railway service, which In Sweden
is controlled by the state, women have
been employed since 1850 In the con-
trolling Office, ticket department etc.
They also act as clerks In the tele-
graph service Of the government and
are almost exclusively employed in the
telephone service.

Before her husband became involved
in his present difficulties Mrs. Morse
was surrounded by all that wealth
could command. A year ago she had
seven servants. Now she has one.
Not only have her jewels been sold,
but she has disposed of her sables, sill
yer, china, paintings and many arti-
cles of household furniture. In one
instance she sold a pin that cost over
$4,000 for $1,000 to meet the bill of a
stenographer, which amounted to more
than $4,000, because Mrs. Morse had
promised that part of the bill should
be paid on a certain day. Since Mr..
Morse's incarceration his wife has been

as she is permitted to offer. One of

Mr.. stephens Attack Is Directed at

Into QueStion-Jur2 Is Amused.

Officials of the Washington GasIght
Company were subjected 10 severe ex-
animation yesterday in the hearing be
fore Chief Justice Clabaugh. of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, in the suit OF the
District OF Columbia 10 recover penalties
for alleged violations Of the law re
lating 10 the purity and lighting power
Of gas.
The contention OF the Witnesses for
the company was that II any violations
occurred. they were due 20 accidents over
which they had no control, such as the
breaking down Of apparatus. and de-
lays IN shipments of new parts.
Rules on Tests.
Chief Justice Clabaugh. at the morn
ing hearing. ruled that tests for candle
power and purity are official II made be-
tween noon and midnight. as prescribed
by the law passed by Congress. This
destroys the contention Of the compa-
MES that one test is not sufficient and
that an average should be taken.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Stephens
brought out the fact that at the time OF
the alleged violations four Of the eight
purifiers had been dismantled- The rea-
son given for this by John s. McIlhenny,
superintendent OF manufacture of the
Washington Gaslght Company, under
cross-eXaminatiOn by Attorney r. Ross
Perry. was that the apparatus had been
taken down in the course OF preparations
for increased production.
Mr. Stephens attack was openly d.
rected at the care exercised by the COM
panies IN the manufacture Of the gas
He brought out the fact that the reports
OF the different testing stations gave aver
age values Of the candle power Mr- Nell
benny maintained that average values
were the proper ones TO consider when
testing gas for candle power and purity.
Standard Is Blamed.
The Standard Oil Company was blamed
by Mr.. McIlhenny for not furnishing a
better quality Of OIL which is used in the
production Of the oil gas, used 20 give a
purer combination. He said that II naph-
tha could be used. the quality OF the gas
would be greatly improved, but that naph-
tha was unobtainable.
Mr. Perry asked:
DO you use a good quality OF water?''
Yes. the best We can get" was the
Z answer.
Where do you get your water?"
From the Potomac River
The jury laughed. and AIr. Perry ex-
planned that he had asked the question
because Mr. Stephens had suggested that
| the companies might use distilled water.
