COUN1YBASTILE
Judge Lawlor Rules Briber's
Physical Condition Doesn't
Win Him Liberty
Doctors Differ as to Effect of
Confinement on the Arch
grafter's Health

Abe Ruef advanced a decided step
nearer the county Jail yesterday. when
Judge Lawlor ruled that his physical
condition was not sufficiently serious
to entitle him to be at large pending
decision of his appeal from conviction
of bribery and sentence to IA years i'm
prisonment.
1t seems likely that the boodler will
be recommitted to the Ingleside institu-
ton tomorrow. This morning Judge
Lawlor will hear argument on the legal
point raised by Ruef's attorneys.
Thomas B. Dozier and George Keane
that the court Is without power to re-
woke the order of Judge Cabaniss-an-
other Judge of the same court-admit-
ting the defendant to bail Each side
will be given one hour to argue this
question, and a decision will be rem
dered tomorrow morning. If the deci-
sion is adverse to Ruef he will spend
tomorrow night at the county Jail, un-
less. one of the higher courts comes to
his rescue.
NOT ENTITLED TO BAIL
The motion before the court is one
recommitted TO the county Jail.
A large number of physicians. most of
them called by Ruef were examined
yesterday, and Judge Lawlor announced
that the showing made was not sufi-
cient to entitle Ruef to be at liberty
on bail, so far as his health is con-
cerned. Assistant District Attorney Ber-
ry is of the opinion that under the law
the court has power to set aside Judge
Cabaniss' ruling and order Ruef back
to confinement
The supreme court has ruled" said
Berry, that pending an appeal a de-
fendant in a felony case may be admit
ted to bail where extraordinary circum-
stances have arisen. In this case the
extraordinary circumstances had to do
with the health of the defendant But
Ruef's health no longer entities him to
the leniency of the court. and 1 think
1T perfectly lawful and right that he
should be recommitted to the county
jail
The contention of Ruef and his law
yers is that the trial Judge is pre-
vented from recommitting Ruef to Jail
because Judge Cabaniss has decided he
is entitled to bail. Irrespective of his
present physical condition. they argue.
the court has no power TO send Ruef
back into confinement pending termina
tion of his appeal.
WELL ENOUGH TO GO TO JAIL
The medical testimony introduced
yesterday contained nothing new as TO
the bribe giver's health. Drs. George
K. Herzog, A. B. McGill, Joseph F. Arti-
gues. Henry d. Brusco, Benjamin Apple
and Robert D. Spalding. called by Ruef.
said the defendants liver and spleen
were enlarged. that he suffered from a
lesion of the heart, which. however,
was well compensated, and that his
kidneys were affected, but they all said
his condition had improved since his
liberation last December. Further con-
finement in the county jail would en-
danger his life and permanently affect
his health, they said
Drs. Louis D. Mead and Frank P.
Topping. subpenaed by the people,
agreed as to the defendants symptoms
with the other physicians. but denied
that if he were sent back to the county
Jail it would endanger his life.

VATICAN DEAF TO PROTESTS
Associated Pressl

BERLIN, June 9.-Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, replying to an In
terpellation in the Prussian diet to-
day, spoke with emphasis regarding the
recently issued papal encyclical which
he construed as condemnatory of re-
Dligious reforms. The chancellor said:
"The papal encyclical contains judg-
ments about the reformers and the
reformation and about the princes and
the peoples connected Herewith, which
must hurt the religious national and
moral feelings. This explains the pro-
found emotion in wide circles, the ef-
fects of which must endanger religious
peace.
Immediately after the Latin text of
the encylical had been received
caused representation to be made to
the Vatican by the German envoy,
who expressed the expectation or Ger
many that the curia would find a way
to remedy the damage caused by the
issuance Of the encyclical.
"The Vatican has not as yet replied
and therefore I must refrain from fur
ther comment except to make reply to
the Interpolation at this stage 80 as
to let the German people know the
position Of the government which mas
taken I'D the matter, and also to as
sure the public that the government
Is determined to do everything to in
sure religious peace in the land that
can be done in the national interests"
The encyclical issued on the occasion
of the third centenary of the canon
ization of ST. Charles Borromeo ex-
tolled Borromeo as the champion of
Catholicism against the Protestant re-
ligion and declared that at the time OF
the Council of Trent the principles of
Catholicism had been undermined by
Martin Luther
Last Saturday interpretations were
introduced in the diet by the conserVa-
tives and national liberals. The con-
servative Interpolation asked what the
government proposed to do to meet
"such insults to the evangelical
church,
1t also suggested that the Prussian
legation at the Vatican be withdrawn.

GERMAN COURTS POWER
QUESTIONED BY PEARY
Explorer Places Matter of Litiga-
ton in Hands of AmbaS-
Sador and Sails

BERLIN, June 9.-Commander Rob-
ert E. Peary, who was served here yes
terday with papers in suit brought
by Rudolph Francke, left for London
this morning. The American explorer
had nothing to add today to his state
ment of last night, that he had placed
the matter of the litigation in the
hands of American Ambassador Hill.
Francke was associated with Freder-
ick A. Cook in north polar explorations.
and alleges that Peary found him Ill
at Etah and took advantage of his con-
dition to take his collection of furs and
walrus and norwhal teeth as the price
for transporting him homeward.
Francke demands 10000 as the value
of the Arctic products which he claims
to have handed over to the commander.
The suit was brought in the Berlin
courts, notice of the action being
served on Peary when he arrived here
yesterday to fill a lecture engagement.
Later it was learned that while here
Commander Peary said to a friend that
he would contend that the German
court had no jurisdiction, as he had no
property or domicile here He had an
ticipated, he said, that the box office
receipts at philharmonic hail. where he
lectured last night, would be attached,
and he was rather surprised that they
were not.
The case will come up June 2S.

sented in court by an attorney. He eX-

RAILROAD VALUES IN
STATE SHOW DECREASE
Fourteen Reports Made to Board
of Equalization Comply
with the Law

SACRAMENTO, June 9.-Fourteen of
the railroad companies, or fifteen in
cluding the Pullman company, have
now filed their annual reports with the
state board of equalization. These re-
ports are made out on a form pre-
scribed by the state board, which fol-
lows closely the form of statistical
reports called for by the interstate
commerce commission. Full details
are given of railroad mileage, equip
ment, gross and net receipts and oper-
ating expenses.
Taking the aggregate earnings of the
fourteen companies as now reported
they amount to $73, Isl, 1854, as
against $75,47S, 45306 for the preceding
year. But eliminating the Santa Fe,
the other railroads show slight in
crease, the figures for this year total
ing $50, ,100 69S 90, as against $50, ,531 BAL SO
on last years reports. The companies
which show increased earnings are the
Southern Pacific, the South Pacific
Coast, the Nevada and California, the
Tonopah and Tidewater, the Pajaro
Valley, the Boca and Loyalton the
Yosemite Valley and the Pacific Coast
company. Decreases, aside from that
reported by the Santa Fe, are shown
by the Central Pacific, Northwestern

WESTERN NICARAGUAN
PANIC OVER CONDITIONS
Prohibitions Ordered by Madriz
Causes Money Exchange to
Amount to USury

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Oficial dis
patches from Managua, Nicaragua,
state that the war is fast reducing
western Nicaragua to a state of panic.
The expectation of fruit products has
been prohibited and money exchange is
rapidly increasing.
These dispatches show that the pro-
hibition of exporting of all food pro-
ducts was by direction Of Madriz.
The advance in monetary exchange
has now reached 116O per cent, which Is
610 above the normal rate. 1t is ex-
planned at the state department that
the normal rate of exchange is about
500 per cent, that is, $5 in paper cur
rency to purchase 81 in gold.
Consul Olivares said official reports
received at Managua were that the
Madriz forces under Gen. Chavarria
suffered a disastrous defeat before
Rama and were now making an effort
to concentrate at Muelle de Los Bueyes,
where another stand would be made.
The state department has received
through Consul Moffat at Bluehelds,
the text of the telegram sent by the
court of Cartago to Estrada in re-
sponse to his request that the court
exert its influence with Madriz to have
him accept mediation of the United
States as proposed on March IA last.
The court in Its answer said that it
would do what was possible In reassem-
bling, but reiterated it's offer of friendly
mediation, according to the terms of
it's resolution on April 27 last.
This resolution expressed the desire
that the Nicaraguan question be
settled 'in family resolution" which
the court said doubtless interpreted the
desire of all Central American people
as well as of the government at Wash
ington.
