MARINERS HAD BETTER
NOT BREAK CABLES
Master of Dredge Indicted for
Negligence in North River

NEW YORK, May 13.-The United
States grand jury for the southern
district of New York has just found
an Indictment against Robert McMul-
len, master of the dredge Onondaga.
belonging to the Newark Meadows i'm
provement company, for breaking jan
uary % two cables belonging to the
New England telegraph company, a
part of the Commercial cable-Postal
telegraph system, these cables running
under the North river from New York
city to Jersey city.
The Indictment is for violation of the
United States statutes which were en-
acted for the protection of cables. 1t
seems that tire dredge was at work in
the North river in connection with
the McAdoo tunnel, which runs from
Jersey City to Cortland street. New
York. and disrupted these cables with
out making an effort whatsoever to
avoid doing SO.
1t is stated that the cables contained
55 wires and that 1T required two days
to repair them, and in the meantime
the telegraph business over the wires
was entirely interrupted.
In case of conviction the penalty
may be two years imprisonment and
So, 900 fine.

BLACK ANTS EMPLOYED
TO RID TREES OF SCALE
Ukiah Ranchers Adopt Scheme
of Professor Harlan
Especial Distoi TO The Call


UKIAH, May 13.-Professor Harlan,
who is visiting in this city, but halls
from the southern part of the state,
has discovered that the ordinary black
ant will remove the scale from fruit
trees without injuring the trees or
leaves in the least. He says their work
is more complete than that accom-
plished by spraying or by any of the
imported insects.
The ants are captured by placing a
plate of sugar near an ant hill, and
when covered with ants the plate is
put in the forks of the infected tree
The ants leave the sugar and go to
work on the scale. AS soon as they all
leave the sugar the plate is placed at
the foot of the tree and as the ants
come down after having cleaned the
tree of scale they again assemble on the
sugar. and are thus easily removed to
another tree.
Several ranchers in this section have
tried the scheme, and estimate that it
will be worth millions of dollars to
fruit growers.

ployed by the company He described
a dinner party given at his home by
Calhoun just after the fire al which
Ruef and Schmitz were present. and
another given by himself at which
Ruef and Supervisors Gallagher and
Coleman were guests Heney asked
him il he had not ransacked the city

party and the witness said he had no
recollection of it, \ A.. Moore OBJ
jected to the question as being too re-
mote and having no bearing on the
case.
Yes. think it would have a good

il is fact that Mr.. Calhoun and the
witness were feeding champagne to
these very men who, as you claim, held
them up.
CALHoUN'S EFFORTS SHOWN
John Connor who was chairman Of
the street committee of the board Of
supervisors in 1905 when the first APP
plication for an overhead trolley per-
nit was made by the United Railroads,
was the first witness called yesterday
morning. His testimony related to the
efforts made by Calhoun to secure such
a grant at that time and to the final
refusal of such a permit by his COM
mittee. His testimony corroborated
much of that previously, received.
J. H Meyer, a director of the United
Railroads, made plain the position held
by Calhoun in the company by testify
ing. as other directors have done, that
he held but one share OF stock and
that this was Endorsed in blank so that
II could be transferred out of his pos
session at any time. He declared that
he followed the lead of Calhoun in all
matters which came up before the board
of directors, that he had no knowledge
OF the withdrawal of any money from
the mint that he knew nothing of any
payments to Ruef. that he did not know
Ruef was in the companys employ, and
that he had not heard of the expendi
ture of any money for the overhead
trolley permit
