Cheered by meeting these mountain no
MAIDS, we started engine and began anew
our arduous ascent. Fortune evidently had
taken pity, for without special adventure, we
soon were at the summit. Here the view that
met our gaze was ample reward for all our
trials.
AS far as eye could reach lay tumbled
mass of mountains, whose irregular serrations
gave a skyline difficult to equal. The forest
was everywhere, shrouding mountain and val
ley in varied tints of exquisite green Here
and there appeared cluttering birches, which
wove themselves like silver threads in this
rich mantle of woods. Dark shadows, too,
moved restlessly across, or lurked in the val
leys below, where occasional areas of water
could be seen, shimmering like so many opals.
Long we remained, drinking in the beauties
of the scene, till reason and increasing appe-
tite prompted our withdrawal.
We are told the descent to Avernus is easy.
Remembering this and the statement of the
Hague factotums, we started down, lodging

sionally to remove fallen branches from the

UNIDENTIFIED BODY
FOUND BY FISHERMAN
Corpse, Probably of Mechanic,
in Water Two Weeks

The body of an unidentified man was
found early yesterday morning floating
off Fort point by Joseph Fereagi, a fish
erman, who towed the remains to Fish
erman's wharf, where it was taken in
charge by the coroner. 1t is apparent
from the dress that the dead man was
mechanic, and Coroner Leland is hold

as to burial. The dead man had been in
the water about two weeks and was
very badly decomposed.

She went to London and engaged as

Her charity found a quick and unex-

that he had been the Carlton hotel por-
ter who had testified against her at the
divorce trial. He confessed on his dying
bed that he had perjured himself there,
had sold the woman's name for the
bride of her husband. The repentant
witness was near death, but a magis-

owing. however, 20 the extended re-
marks OF Francis J. Heney in his argu-
ment TO the jury the case against the
trolley magnste was not submitted.
IN this respect at least the promised
sensation Of the feast was dismally
delayed.
JUDGE COOPER PRESENT
Joseph Redding. a United Railroads
attorney. presided as POSTMASTER.
Prominent among those present was
Justice Cooper Of the appellate court,
who occupied a chair close TO the guest
OF honor.
Readings opening remarks were
principally in eulogy OF General Har-
ries. He cracked a Joke or two and
then took his seat to make way for
General Harries.
The wise man said" General Har-
ries remarked. 'seest thou a man who
is diligent in his business, he shall
stand before kings and not before
mean men, II that be true. then surely
I must have been uncommonly dill
gent. for tonight II is my privilege
70 stand before monarchs. who have
achieved greatness of which every
American is proud"
Harries then went on to speak of
san Francisco's remarkable recovery
with an exploitation OF Washington
streets and street railways. He at
tackled the conduit system in his re-
marks. saying:
AGAINST CONDUIT SYSTEM
In one sense, and that only. does
the conduit electric method approach
the ideal. Everything in its construc-
ton is underground except the rail-
heads and the thousands of man
holes and manhole covers. There is
no obstruction to surface or aerial
traction. Aside from that II is far
less desirable than the now common
overhead trolley. Should you ask me
tonight what is the most efficient and
desirable method in the public interest
overhead or conduit railway operation,
there can be only one reply, over
head"
Harries stated that his opinions for
making this statement were based .on
simplicity of construction and eff
cheney in operation. He said that the
construction of a conduit system re-
ou5red the removal of all sewers,
water mains, gas mains. house connec-
tions and ducts that may be near the
area 10 be eXcaVated.

made the following statement:
The boy has been in our custody
ever since he was Z years old He
was intrusted to us by his father, and
we will move heaven and earth to keep
him. His mother is morally unfit to
have charge of him. She has violated
the laws of New York by remarrying
having been forbidden to do so when
my son got his decree. We removed
the boy from the~ jurisdiction of the

EXPOSES DUBIOUS TRANSACTION

From that Heney went to the exposi-
ton of the facts involved in the trans
fer of money from the United States
mint to Ford, and presumably from
Ford to Abe Ruef, and, as has been
proven. from Ruef to Gallagher. Heney
showed the contrast between the legit-
innate transactions of the United Rail-
roads during the weeks Immediately
following the fire and the dubious
transaction involving the 5000, 900 which
was paid in currency to Ford and was
not charged on the books of the COM
pany.
There was the nub of the grating
shown In Heney's argument. The story
of the visits of Ruef to TREY L. Ford;
of Ford to the mint; of the shirt box
with the bundles of currency, as Heney
asserted; of the payment to the super
visors of their brides in the same small
currency that was given to Ford at
the mint. ''And Ford did not appear to
vindicate his reputation" said Heney.
Heney declared that the strongest
proof of guilt was in the absence of
the cash books of the company in the
east, where they had been taken after
the grand jury had started its investi-
cation in municipal corruption.
The attorneys for the defense OBJ
jected when Heney said that Abbott,
Miss McDermott, Willcut, Starr and
others refused to testify before the
grand jury on the ground that they
might incriminate themselves O'Gara
corrected Heney on the details OF the
matter and Heney argued that as they
had refused to testify on advice of
counsel, Abbott. the proof of guilt of
the corporation was even stronger.
At the close Heney and Barrett
clashed over Heneys reference to his
fight for district attorney.
Adjournment was taken till this
morning.
