the appetite for the astonishing thing
sure to come if Ruef is once put in t
position where he can unbosom him
self. 1t remains with Judge Dunno
who recently refused to dismiss the
indictments, as to whether the story
will be told in the near future.
The story as recently disclosed by
the Bulletin is to the effect that the
lawyer representing the Hearst in
terests handled the situation in behalf
of his clients, John Drum and w. F.
Herrin, and in order to prevent the
release of Ruef, which would be an
exceedingly dangerous position for his
old associates who tried to bribe him,
the effort was made to prevent his
parole by an attack in the Hearst
organ on Ruef
The attack was made, but a hornets
nest was uncovered. The Bulletin.
under the leadership of it's sociahstic
editor, Fremont Older, came out with
the Ruef autobiography which that
paper had possessed for some time.
The latter attack can only be con-
strued as an attempt to coerce Judge
Dunno into dismissing the indict-
ments.
On the other hand it is said power
full influences were brought to bear TO
prevent the publication of Ruef's auto

The wonders of wireless telegraphy
have never been so vividly shown as
they have been in the case of the loss
Of the great steamship Titanic. Hun
dreds of messages were exchanged be-
tween the Titanic and the ships at sea,
which transmitted them ashore, to
two hemispheres. While the Titanic
was sinking the world at large was
given fieeting glimpses of what was
going on, by the operators of the ships
in the fog, hundreds of miles away.
Here, in brief, is the chronology of
how the wireless messages came in
this most wonderful demonstration Of
the modern magic of science:

Inability to secure immediate trans
portation of the immigrants arriving
here to the various island plantations,
coupled with the firmly rooted idea
on the part of the laborers that they
only want employment at places
where their friends and relatives are
employed, has given rise to problem
which, if unsolved, it is stated, will
result in adding materially to the
city's colony of unemployed and null
lify in a great measure the work Of
the immigration bureau.
1t appears, as in the case Of the
Russian families now at the station,
that unless the new arrivals are
shipped as soon as possible to planta-
tions their friends in the city, mixing
among them, soon persuade them to
remain here instead of going to the
plantations. Rarely, say the immigra-
ton officials, does an immigrant go to
