RUEF'S ftnORNEY IS CALLED DOWN Judge Dunne Again Calls Ach to Time after Bitter Fight With the Prosecutor, LAWYER FOR DEFENSE SLURS JUDGE AND COUNSEL Only Five of Venire Remain to Be Examined Ruef Today Appears in Supreme Court for Habeas Corpus Writ. By AsMiciated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Cab, April 9. Four talesmen were examined today in tho Ruei trial. Two withstood the qualification tests and were passed into the box (is probationary jurors.

The other tw( were excused for bias. The jurors w.io qualified and are yet sub jeot to peremptory challenge have in-reacd to seven. Five talesmen remain to examine before tho present panel is exhausted. A statement by the defense that none of tho seven 'thus far passed will be permitted to try the case has been made. The feature of today's proceedings was a heated encounter between Special Prosecutor Hiram W.

Johnson and Henry Ach, counsel for Ruef, and the repeated admonishings to Ach by Judge Dunne that his conduct wns "most rep rchensible." Ach Gots Fresh Johnson objected to a question put to a talesman by Ach, denouncing it as an intended slur on the counsel for the prosecution, daring Ruef's lawyer to produce on reputnblo witness in contravention of the claim. Ach retorted warjnly that he could produce such a witness, but that the name of tho witness was none of Johnson's business. Judge Duunc, interfering in the dispute, told Ach that ho 'thought it would bo more manly and honorable for him to name the informant than to refuse tho information, whereupon Ach, stung and greatly angered, noted au exception to Judge Dunno's remark and de-darcd'that ho needed no lecture from the court or anybody else as to his man-I in ess. -Judge Dunne admonished Ach that his conduct was "most reprehensible," and the- attorney took his seat after being thrice reminded to do so. The question by Ach out of which tho miniature tempest grew was this: Tho Questionable Question "If you knew the Citizens' Alliance had contiibuted money toward the prosecution of a case, would that knowledge tend to influence you in your attitude toward tho defendant Rueff" To that question Johnson objected hotly, declaring "Not eyio qua'rter of a penny" had been contributed by tho alliance, and "that counsel for Ruef knew this to be a fact." During the cioss examination of Talesman Otis he was asked by Ach whether in observanco of the proceedings he had gained the impression, that fudge Dnnno believes Ruef guilty and desires his conviction.

This was a direct reversion to tho line of examination checked yesterday by Judge Dunne as contemptuous of the court and ho promptly put a stop to it. "Don't ask any more questions on that point," ho said. Have Another Row Ach and Johnson again locked horns during tho cross examination of Talesman Varnhaiucn. Ach framed a hypothetical question comprising a pointed reference to a contract which Ruef alleges ho had with French restaurants to conduct their legal inteicsts and which Ach announced would constitute Ruef's chief defense. Johnson objected to th question and was sustained.

"We claim," said the prosecutor, "that contract is a fake." Ruef's trial will not bo resumed until Thuisday, as the indicted boss must appear in the supreme court tomorrow during arguments on an application for a writ of habeas corpus to release him from tho custody of Elisor Biggy. If the order is granted Ruef will ask tho court to commit him to tho custody of "Sheriff OWill. THAW JUSTISIED IN KILLING WHITE Delmas Closes Eloquent Argument in Which Murderer Is Designated a Hero, BITTERLY ASSAILS MURDERED ARCHITECT Thaw an Agent of Providence Jerome Speaks Today and Case Expected to Go to "the Jury This Evening at Latest, By Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 9. In au elo-quent appeal both to tho written and unwritten law, Attorney Delmas this afternoon committed Thaw's fate to the jury.

Tho California attorney concluded his five hours' summing up speech by declaring that his client was justified in killing Stanford White. Tomor row morning Jerome will mako his ap-ieal in behalf of the prosecution. Justice Fitzgerald will probably charge the jury by tomorrow evening at the latest and tho famous case will pass to the deliberation of tho jury. Jerome ex pects to speak for threo hours. Justice Fitgerald would not say today whether he will charge the jury directly after the distiiet attorney's remarks, but there is a general impression that he will do bo.

With the exception of the moments whon he was reading from testimony, Delmas' speech today was of tho sustained oratorical sort. He threw about tho form of Thaw a cloak of chivalrous knighthood. Knighthood Still in Flower "Why," he shouted, "should we, who admire the chivalry of knights of the middle ages, who went about redressing wrongs and rescuing maidens in distress, withhold our sympathy fiom this brave maul" Bitterly the attorney assailed White. He declared, that White sought to ph'y with Evelyn Nesbit as long as her beautv remained and then would have thrown her away, "like a dirty rag to float down life's sewer to a grave in the Bolter's field." Again he said: "Harry Thaw snatched the girl from an old lecher who saw in her but a toy to gratify a moment lust, then to cast aside to go away down the path of fallen wo men." How Brainstorm Began With dramatic emphasis Delmas cried out that when Thaw beheld White on the Madison Square roof garden the story of his wife's wrongs overcame him. "He pictured in an instant, as a dying man may picture his past life, all that White had done, the ruin he had wrought and he struck; struck ns a tigress strikes in defense of her young; struck for home; struck for American women; struck for humanity; and Stanford White fell.

"Gentlemen," the advocate went on, "if Thaw believed he was the instrument of Providence, who can say he was mistaken." Dcfnms discussed briefly the testimony of expert witnesses, declaring that whatever weight might be attached to their utterances was on the side of tho defendant. Ho declared the burden of pioof as to Thaw's insanity at the time of the homicide resjed with the prosecution, which had failed to mako out its case. "Dementia America" In discussion of Thaw's mental state, Delmas came to tho "unwritten law." lie declared that the experts had been at a loss to classify tho form of insanity from which Thaw suffered. "I will suggest its name," he declared. "I should call it 'dementia It is a species of insanity which makes an American man believe his home, his wife and daughters aro sacred, that whatsoever stains the virtue of his threshold violates the highest of human laws." Twice during the closing periods Delmas was interrupted by Assistant District Attorney Garvin, who suggested (Continued on Page Six) NE6R0 IS RELD TO Lewis Staten Only One of Party Held for Shooting Up of Tent House Lewis Staten, colored, nlloged to havo fired a loaded shotgun at a tent occupied by Wes Goswick nnd family below the Mitchell smelter Sunday, slightly wounding two of Mr.

I mm Trial of Accused Congressman Is Beginning to Become Somewhat Sensational, FEDERAL ATTORNEY TANGLES DEFENDANT Admits that He Sent Telegram Giving "Tip" on Formation of New Reserves Son Had Made Homestead Entries, By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, April 9. Interest in tho trial of Binger Hermann for destroying public records received a decided impetns when the defendant, who has been testifying for the past five days, was put under cross examination today.

After saying positively that no members of his family had acquired public lands during Ids administration, Hermann qualified his statement by admit-ting that his won Schiller had made a homestead entry to which title had not yet been secured. Hermann admitted that lie had acquired 30,000 acres of public lands in Oregon when ho was receiver of public moneys at Roscburg land office. United States Attorney Baker pro duccd a copy of a telegram sent by the defendant before the proclamation creating tho Blue Mountain forest reserve which Baker contended was a "tip," promised to Mays by Hermann, that tho former might tnke necessary steps to mako an entry in state school lands. Admits Giving Up Tho telegram Hermann admitted to sending. It read: "Fifteen patents to timber land en tries forwarded to Roseburg land office.

The land office has recommended hie withdrawal of tho original Strawberry mountain and all additions to tho secretary, who has approved tho same. Binger Hermann." On direct examination Hermann testified that ho never had any business relations with Mays, had never written him communications nor had interviews with him, that Mays had no interest in the Blue that Hermann knew of. Hermann said he now remembered the telegram and explained that it must havo been sent either in answer to a telegraphic request from Mays, or more likely because Hermann knew Mays to be a leading public man of Oregon and wished him informed of the action taken. The regulation of the land office forbidding the giving out of information in advance, also forbidding any officer or employee or member of their families from acquiring government lauds, was placed in evidence by Baker. The cross examination will be continued tomorrow.

GOLDFIELD, April 9.

After a meeting of the joint 'Committee late" this afternoon it was learned that there was a split which will doubtless defer negotiations between tho miners and mine owners for some timo longer. The mine owners made certain demands which dobar tho miners from participat ing in any strikes or boycotts that hereafter might be inaugurated by the town workers of the Industrial Workers of the World. It is feared by the operators that while the miners might withdraw from tho Industrial Workers in name, they would still be with them in sentiment and would co-operate with the organization in any campaign it might wage against the business men who have beeu active with tho mine owners against the Industrial Workers. On this point the miners arose and left the meeting, saying there was no further reason for deliberations, as the miners would stand by tho Industrial Workers of the World in fact if not in name. The mine owners gave out after the conference the substance of their demands upon -which they will stand whether the finish comes soon or a year from now, which was as follows: Statement of Owners "That steps will be taken immediately to create and maintain a tribunal of arbitration for the settlement of such disputes and controversies as may hereafter arise between employers and employees.

"That miners will not strike until after a vote of the miners at work in tho district. "That operators are not to shut down or declare a lockout without a similar vote. "That the miners will not participatu in any sympathetic strikes or boycott's igainst other local unions, nor support any way strikes or boycotts which may bo inaugurated by the Industrial Workers of the World. "That the miners and mine owners shall execute an agreement for a definite time embodying the above pro visions, based upon the scale of wages and hours of labor." The mine owners are serene in the belief that they will finally accomplish their purpose, which is to root out of Goldfield all elements of discord and strifo and put conditions on a peaceable and prosperous basis. Will Stand by I.

W. W. GOLDFIELD, April 9. At a meeting of tho miners-tonight tho proposition of the mine owners was discussed at length but the miners practically decided to staud by the Indus-trial Workers of tho World. This means that the end of the trouble is not in sight.
