ABE FUEF FINALLY
LANDED IN SAN QUENTIN

A San Francisco dispatch of Feb.
| 2s sa3s: What appears to be the last
hope of Abraham Ruef, political boss
of S,n Francisco during the regime of
Mavr Eugene f. Schmitz, of escaping
his sentence of II years in San Quen-
I Tin was dissipated late today when the
stae supreme court vacated it's recent
1 orer granting Ruef rehearing.
! 1t was this order which resulted In
te introduction in the state legisla-
dre at Sacramento of a resolution
providing or an investigation of the
methods of the supreme court in
granting rehearings.
The order granting Ruef the rehear-
ing had been signed by four of the
justices, but at different times and
not while sitting as a court. Justice
Henshaw signed it first and then left
the state, the other justices placing
their signatures to the order later.
The vacation was made on the
ground that the absence of Justice +.
w. Henshaw, one of the justices who
signed it, from the state at the time
the order granting the rehearing be-
came effective, made the action null
lity.
In the decision granting the mo-
tion to vacate the order of rehearing
the court explained that the point on
which it had been granted had never
before been brought to the attention
of the supreme tribunal of the state.
Ruef was convicted on one of the
seventy odd indictments, charging
bribery of supervisors, returned dur
ing the bribery graft investigation in
1907, financed by Rudolph Spreckles
and conducted by Francis J. Heney
and William J. Burns.
During Ruef's trial Special Prose
cutor Heney was shot and dangerous
ly wounded by Morris Haas, an ex-
convict whom Heney had exposed
when he was drawn on the jury panel.
A few days later Haas committed
suicide in the county jail.
Heney's place was taken by Hiram
W. Johnson, now governor of Califor-
mia, and after a delay of several weeks
the trial was resumed, with Ruef g
conviction as the outcome.
After spending many months in the
conuty jail, Ruef was admitted to bail
aggregating nearly quarter of mil
lion dollars

MUCH INTEREST TAKEN
IN NEW RESCUE CAR

A number of Goldfield mining men
who went to Tonopah to attend the
funeral of the victims of the Belmont
fire, inspected the government rescue
ear sent in by orders from the interi-
or department from Rock Springs,
Wyoming, and which arrived in Tono-
pah Sunday afternoon. The trip was
made in thirty-nine hours by regular
limited trains, but could have been
made in twenty four hours with a
special engine, which may possibly
be arranged for by the government
in the near future.
The ear is of the Pullman type but
is reconstructed to fit the needs of
its work operating room, medical sup
plies, helmets, etc. 1t is also provid-
ed with kitchen and dining apartments
for the accommodation of the rescue
crew. The car was run onto siding
at the Tonopah depot, where it Great

MORE SILK SPEC
|ALS' VIA ". P.

At 3 O'Clock this morning another
special "Silk Train" composed of
eight cars, passed east over the West
ern Pacific, en- route to New York
from San Francisco. The cars were
loaded with raw silk, received from
one of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha line Of
steamers, plying between the Orient
and San Francisco, and an effort will
be made to break the record for fast
freight between the two coasts.
The special will run over the West
ern Pacific as far as Salt Lake City,
where it will be switched to the tracks
of the Denver & Rio Grande, which
will take it to Pueblo, from where it
will go to Chicago via the Rock Island
and on to New York over the Erie.
Another special train, which will in
clnude four ears of silk, is expected to
arrive this evening at IL O'Clock.

must follow up its work Of establish
ing lighthouses along the fascinating
ly picturesque but dangerous coast
line; searching out the possibilities Of
agriculture; encouraging the building
of railroads and highways; improving
the mail and telegraph facilities and
in providing satisfactory system of
"home rule'' for the people Of the
territory. Something was done by
congress at the session just ending,
but more must be done; and it should
be done soon in justice to the brave
and enterprising men who are casting
their fortunes in the far north and
carving out new empire there.
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico gave congress but little
thought, apparently, and other terri
torial possessions got only passing and
perfunctory attention from the law
makers.
Conservation in Eclipse.
Possibly it was the reciprocity
treaty which dimmed the fires Of
enthusiasm burning in the bosoms of
the conservationists. At any rate,
there was less heard about conserva-
tion this year, although Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of corporations,
issued report and laid it before con-
gress showing that few men control
the timbered areas Of the country and
that the supply Of merchantable lum-
ber will play out in 55 years in case
no more grows. 1t was also claimed
by Mr.. Smith. that while prices of
lumber have advanced, they are not
yet high enough. 1t is by increasing
the price, in part, that the conserva-
tionists hope to save for posterity
some of the trees which are falling so
rapidly before the axe Of the woods
man. In the same way, the conseva-
tionists are doubtless rejoicing at the
high prices of food, because, according
to their reasoning, the higher the price
the less food people can buy and the
more there will be left for the next
generation.
In this connection one is reminded
of the little girl who was reproved by
her mother for throwing away a crust
of bread. sSome day said the moth
er, "you may wish that youhad that
piece of bread.

NAVY IS IN A TANGLE
OVER PEARY'S PROMOTION
Unable to Determine Date When
Other Promotions Shall
Be Effective.

The promotion and retirement of Rear
Admiral Robert E. Peary of the navy, in
recognition Of his discovery of the north
pole, have presented a tangled problem
to the Navy Department, which study
for the last four months has failed to
solve. The bill honoring the explorer
passed Congress in March, 1911 but pro-
vided that the promotion and retirement
should date from April 8, 19O9 when the
pole was discovered. The retirement of
Admiral Peary made a vacancy in the
list OF captains of civil engineers and af-
forded opportunity for promotions Of off,
GERS all along the line of that corps. The
question which has arisen is whether
these promotions also should be retro
active and date from April, 1909. or be-
gin with March, 1911. when the act was
passed.
The Navy Department is searching the
service for promising young officers with
natural bent toward civil engineering
with a view to filling existing and pros
pective vacancies in the naval corps
Three ensigns-Henry G.. Taylor of Penn
sylvania, Ralph ID. Spalding of Illinois
and Gaylord Church of Pennsylvania
have just been selected for that service
and will be given q course of instruction
at the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute OF

BARRY REFUSED WRIT.
Application to Compel Club to Rein

NEW YORK, July 29.-Richard Barry,

Players Club. because of a story in which
he discussed the stage in terms resented
by the club, will not be reinstated by the
courts. Justice Geigerich has dismissed
Barry's application for writ compelling
the club to restore him to membership,
and imposed the costs Of the suits upon

IF the members Of the club resented
the sweeping and derogatory assertions
he Barry made concerning their profess
sion," reads the decision, far be 1t from
the court to hold that such resentment
was groundless. In fact, 1t would be that
the spirit and tone Of the REALTORS reply,

of, abundantly warrants the sentiment he
seems to have aroused among his asso-
Ciates."
