Trial Court Affirmed in All
Points in Long and Ex-

CASE may Be CARRIED TO
THE STATE SUPREME COURT
Defendant Was Convicted Of Having
Attempted to Bribe Member of
the Board Of Supervisors to Vote
for Franchise. =,

San Francisco, Nov. 24.-The dis.
trict court of appeals of the first dis
trict sustained today the conviction of
Abraham Ruef, former political boss
of this city, charged with having
bribed supervisors and denied him q
new trial. The decision is contained
in forty-six pages written by PRESIDE
ing Judge Cooper and aiiirms the
lower court on all points. Ruef had
been sentenced to fourteen years Inn
prisonment and was at liberty on bail,
The decision was made after the
court had read record consisting Of
$500 pages, one of the longest ever
submitted to an appellate court in
this country, and after it had listened
for several days to arguments by the
opposing lawyers. Ruef's attorneys
will be allowed forty days in which
to prepare an appeal to the state su-
preme court.

committees which. he points out, work
out most Of the legislation in the
house. The house itself should elect
these committees, he says. As for
the tariff, he insists that there should
be general revision in such a way
as will least disturb the business in-
terests of the country and bring tho

lection"
That the new Democratic members
of the house are apt to unite ON
Champ Clark for speaker is Indicated
In the announcement sent to this city
by Henry George, Jr., representative
elect from the Seventeenth district,
New York. This is what he says In
his letter, urging new Democrats to
support Clark:
Nov that Mr.. Clark, the leader of
the Democratic minority in the house
In the present congress, has an
nounced himself as candidate for
the speakership in the new congress,
do not think that those who intend
to support him for that Office can too
quickly announce the fact. For the
enemies of tariff reduction are not
asleep. Defeated at the polls. they
will yet resist at every step, since
tariff reduction means taking from
them the power of taxing the people.
Their next stand is sure to be over
the speakership. It will be their policy
to encourage all possible confusion
and dissension, with the view of slip
ing into the speakers chair some

There is now no doubt that the call
Gus that will nominate speaker just
prior to the beginning Of the next
congress will make some definite
declaration on the subject of COM
mittee on committees and on the
tariff. The only question that now
arises among Democrats Is whether
the two issues should not be decided
at the caucus that will be held just
before the short session.
May Resort to Attacks.
Whatever the majority decides
probably will be the course that will
be pursued by Champ Clark. 1t will
steer him clear Of all antagonism. He
Is said to have promised Representa-
tive Fitzgerald Of Brooklyn the chair
manship Of the committee on appro-
priations, but there is no confrma-
tion of such a report. II he had made
any such promise. 1t would mean that
one of the biggest factors in any oppo-
sition that might arise would be pla-
Gated. but the promise would depend
naturally on the judgment of the ma
jority as to whether Clark should con-
tinue to WELD appointive power.
Some of the members Of the Dem
ocratic party are in favor Of avoiding
all big issues and conf1ning attention
to attacks on the Republican party
from now until 1912. They facetious-
" say that there Is enough to attack
to keep them busy quite that long.
The principal objection from the more
conservative members is that the
country might consider the proceed
ing rather monotonous.

CHASE FOR MORRIS

county returned this morning after
travelling forty-five miles north and
west yesterday afternoon in q motor
car in an effort to find the man who
left Guymon Wednesday morning.
Latham visited all the country school
houses where church services were
held last night and asked the people
ed wagon such as Morris is using.
The Rev. j. B. Gresser, a travel
ing minister, who was holding serv-
ices at Union Center. thirty-five miles
northwest of Guymon, said he believ-
ed he saw the outfit near there Sat-
urday afternoon. This was the only
trace that could be found of the MISS
ing man and the trail was too in
definite to follow. The man the Rev.
Mr.. Gresser saw was going north to-.
ward Colorado
Morris May Fear Arrest.
"Mooris either knows he is being
followed and is travelling night and
day or he is familiar with this coun-
try" Latham said this morning. II
am of the opinion that he has been
advised that a search is being made
for him and not knowing why he is
wanted is making all possible haste
to leave the country"
while l am satisfied that Morris
will be found I do not see the wisdom
of attempting to follow him across
the country from here" I. T. Gilmer,
one of the attorneys who defended
Howey and who has been trailing
Morris for six weeks, said this morn.

To Ask a Reward Offer.
'I am going back to Chickasha to
wait until a more definite trace Of
Morris is found. 1 will present the
affidavit l have obtained from per-
sonal friends and acquaintances of
Morris who have seen him alive as
late as October. and which prove that
he was not murdered in June by
Howey. If the courts refuse to re-
lease him will present my evidence
to Governor Haskell in an effort to
have the state offer a suitable re-
ward and aid me in my efforts to ind

The search for Morris has extend
ed through twenty-three counties Of
Kansas and Oklahoma. The sherifls
in every county Gilmer has visited
are watching for Morris, as are hum
dreds of farmers who have heard the
story of Howey's imprisonment
The country south. north and west
of here has been flooded with descrip-
tions of Morris and his outfit. He
only can get to New Mexico. Texas

COIN HARVEY
HAS GROWN RICH
Author Of Coins Financial
School Has Grown Rich
on Sales of Book.

Kansas City, Nov. 24.-The silver
issue Is dead-dead as doornail,
whatever that is. The authority for
this interesting bit of information is
no less celebrity than w. H. (Coin)
Harvey, who was one Of the most vio-
lent Of the vociferous free silver
shouters away back in 1894, and who
wrote book that set several millions
of people "off their noodles"
That book was ":Coin's Financial
School" It was inspired by hunch,
received by Mr.. Harvey while he was
attending session Of the Trans-Mis
sissippi congress in Ogden, Utah. Out
at the congress the majority of the
delegates were talking, free silver.
That was in 1894. Mr.. Harvey was
not impressed by the arguments. He
left that congr0,s feeling that a whole
lot of silver shouters. while they
might know what they were talking
about, didn't have the ability to ex-
press themselves. They were not
convincing.

self in room and write book about
free silver" Mr.. Harvey soliloquized
as he was spinning eastward.
A First Venture In Literature.
True, Mr.. Harvey never had written
a book. But he said to himself: "Ev-
cry man who gets into this book game
must have to admit that prior to his
first effort. Everyone must start. I'll
start now"

result.

A new REPUBLIC.

Portugal has been declared a re-
public. Portugal has been one of
the worst governed of the Europe
an kingdoms, but spark is all that
seems to- be needed in Europe to
start a republican confagration.
Who would have thought that SO
small kingdom would have been
the third in Europe to become a
republic. On the map Portugal is
scarcely observable, but its people
have developed the spirit of prog
ress, and there is no telling where
it may lead. The crown OF Spain
may be in greater jeopardy than
many think, and if it should falli
the three republics of France, Spain
and Portugal, being side by side
would begin to teach in a new way
the methods of government by the
people, and it might be that the
lesson taught there would spread to
other and larger empires. The
Gear might fear his mis-governed
people, filled with the spirit, which
has lost the crown to his cousin
Manuel.

THE PRACTICAL Side
OF THE PROBLEM.

The good roads question is not
entirely an engineering problem.
1t is an economic, a financial, ques-
ton as we'll. 1t takes money to
build good roads and for this rea-
son it becomes a general question
of general interest. Unfortunately,
most of our public business is done
on a political and not on an eco
nomical basis. 1t is done more by
politicians who know little and care
less about business, than by capa-
BILE business men, disposed to apply
business methods and principles in
its management. In time we shall
recognize this fact, and then the
lawyer-politician will have less IN
fluence in the land; but we need
not hope for much change in this
line in the near future; hence, Let
us make a start toward better roads
by using engineering knowledge in
their construction and the best we
can get in other lines. They will
cost us too much and we will not
get as good as we might, but even
the lawyer-politician will be in ia
vor of good roads after the election
as we'll as before, as soon as he Is
convinced that the voters the
farmers have advanced beyond
the talking stage and are in real
earnest in their desire for better
roads. In fact, the talking part OF
our population is already almost
unanimous in it's support OF the
good roads movement, but we now
need to arouse a paying and act
ing interest in better roads. There
is no time quite so good as the pres
ent for starting the work of build
ing a few miles of good roads in ev-
cry neighborhood; but be certain
that you know what a good road is
and how to build it before you
spend public money on it. Just a
little good road sense and plain bus
mess methods will do wonders with
our roads.--Raleigh On. c. Pro-
gressive Farmer and Gazette.

TIME To GET BUSY.

Says the Chicago Journal; "The
good roads movement continues to
receive the endorsement of every
body and the active support OF no
body" This is not exactly true;
much work is being done to make
better roads, but is undeniably true
that the amount of work done is
very small compared with what has
been said and written about road
improvement. We have learned
how we can make good roads, and
we have learned how we must pay
for them if we ever get them. Let
us recognize the fact that it is time

KILLING THE UMPIRE.
II Is an Essential Part Of the Grea
Game of Baseball.

According to bleac her law, there are
three particularly Juslltiable motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be killed-tirst, If he sees
lit to adhere to the rules and make
decision against the home team at
close point In the game; second. an
umpire may be killed If he sends
member of the home team to the bench
when the player in question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear OF
ian umpire has no business TO be
touchy); third land this Is perfect
defense against the charge of murder),
an umpire may be killed Ii he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls 60 straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case.
There is ample proof ut hand TO
show that killing the umpire Is dis
tinctively American sport. Other coun'

not tried killing the umpire. That Is
probably the reason why they nave
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball.
for baseball without umpire killing IS
like football without girls In the grand
stand. II simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
our king of outdoor sports was indl-
Gated forcibly when In the fall OF l909
the Detroit team made trip to Cuba

twelve games with the Havana and

Raised Beaches and Caves Of the Island
of Arran.
The island of Arranti Is one OF those
places on the west of Scotland where
the geologic phenomenon known as a
raised beach" Is very apparent All
along the coast there are evidences
that the land has been considerably
elevated at some period OF the worlds
history. One OF these proofs Is the
presence of caves OF various sizes
formed by the action of the waves In
the past, but which are now well
above the present high water marx
The farmers use some OF the larger
caves as shelters for sheep In stormy
weather
In a remote corner of the island one
Of these caves has been converted INTO
