Close of Epoch-Making Congress Is Very Tame Ruef Is Aided by Judge Who, Heney Says, Was Drunk JUDGE ON BENCH GROPES VAGUELY FOR HIS WORDS Hebbard, Pallid and Trem bling, Finds Phrases Evade Mind ROARS AT JOHNSON 0 Resents Statement That the Proceedings Are a Farce PROSECUTION LEAVES Departs From Courtroom When It Sees How Matters Stand "The reason we left the courtroom was that we had direct information that Ruef and his attorneys had a complete understanding in advance with Judge Hebbard and any proceed ings would have been immaterial to what occurred. He had agreed to a programme. He was under the in fluence of liquor the whole afternoon and unfit to sit on the bench. "It is well known to the majority of the members of the bar that Judge Hebbard goes on debauches and fre quently is in an intoxicated condition on the bench and commits freaks. "Judge Hebbard is a disgrace to the bench and ought to have been im peached and removed long ago. "He acknowledged all these things in a communication he signed January 17 last when he was getting over a spree. It is time for the Bar Associa tion to wake up and take some action before the courts are brought into utter disrepute. . "Originally Hebbard had a brilliant mind, but the excessive use of liquor has nearly destroyed-it. He has been a drunkard for three years. His pre tense that he thinks a federal question involved in the Ruef case is too ab «urd to be worthy of a moment's con sideration. It amounts to the claim that the constitution of the United States guarantees that no man shall be put upon trial under indictment returned by a grand jury one member o/ which had served on a trial jury within the preceding year. To para phrase Junius: This is an absurdity so profound that it would startle the brain of an idiot. "If there were nothing at stake ex cept the immediate trial of Ruef we could afford to view Hcbbard's action with composure, but this is a flagrant attack upon the orderly administration of justice and is calcu lated to bring all courts and all law into disrespect. Every law-abiding citizen must therefore view such pro ceedings with alarm and disgust.** — Statement of Prosecutor Hcney. Groping vaguely for- words in whl^h to express his ruling, Superior Judge J. C. B. Hebbard issued yesterday after noon to Abe Ruef a writ of error and tuperFe.deas, which has the effect of removing the proceedings against tlie boss and business agont of ' Mayor S<*hmltz from the Superior Court to the United States Supreme Court in Wash ington on a technical quibble involving the validity of the indictments charging Ruef with extorting money from French restaurant keepers.

FRANCISCO, TUESD^, MARCH 5, 1907; SUBSIDY FIGHT GIVEN UP AND CALM RESULTS Galleries Are Disappointed When Gallinger Throws Up the Sponge PROCEEDINGS FORMAL President Goes to Capitol in a Sociable Frame of Mmd v SOLONS WORN OUT Strenuosity of Past Week Cause of Dampening of Enthusiasm \ WASHINGTON, March, A.— With a new record fdr large appropri ations and far-reaching legislation, the Fifty-ninth Congress was brought to a close shortly after noon today. The last few hours were tame in comparison with what had been expected. Long before noon Senator Gallinger's fight for the . passage of the ship subsidy bill had been abandoned, and the filibuster: against it conducted by Senator Car mack being "no longer,/ necessary, he suiTendered the .floor.' much tp the dls*-' j appointment of tb a c galleries. Extreme J^atigue, due to continued night ses sions in the House, during .the -last week, had a dampening effect upon many Congressmen and the usual ex cessive "last d»y" enthusiasm was con fined to less than half the membership.' President Roosevelt, wjth his Cabi net, White, House staff and a number of guests, occupied the President's room in the Senate wing. Seated at a big table in the center of the room he signed bills as they were enrolled and presented to him. On account of the dispatch with which business had been conducted during the past week, there were only forty bills to be signed today. pnESiDEXT, i.v cohdiai, mood The President was at the Capitol for more than an hour. He spent' most ot the time in visiting with his Cabinet both the retiring and incoming mem bers being preset.'" and in presenting them to personal friends* from the,. Sen ate and the House. Retiring Senators were received amd without exception he expressed regrejt that' these lawmakers were to leave the service of the country. Especially warm; was his' reception to Senator Spooner, who' announced, his voluntary retirement yesterday. When the members. of the committee, which waited upon him with the in formation that Congress was. ready to adjourn, had delivered their message, the President thanked them for the laws that had been enacted, but added with a smile that he still had several bills that would .be heard from in the future. ' / '• ' "'\u25a0\u25a0.": Vice President Fairbanks and Speak er Cannon received *the tffanks of the minority for the impartial manner in which they had presided over, the delib erations of the- two houses, and both made speeches; expressing gratitude at the words of appreciation. A feature of the House session; was the presenta tion of a club silver service of,; 300 pieces to General Grosvenor by his col leagues of the Fifty-ninth Congress. In addition to the songs and stories that usually mark the close of a session/, the entire House rose, "waved 1 flags- and sang "My Country. 'Tis of Thee," as the gavel fell at 12:16 p." m.

Van Smith CALL HEADQUARTERS, 1007 EIGHTH STREET. SACRAMENTO, March 4.— "1 shall sign the bill providing for the sub mission of the question of the capital removal to the people," said Governor .Gillclt^tbday. "It would be ridiculous for me to refuse to" sign \a > bill passed by; virtually a three-fourths i .vote : of both houses," continued the Governor. '\u25a0'There* is no use dallying about it/ It is a question for the \u25a0 people^ to; settle. The '. • Legislature has j spoken ', unmis takably,: and if "there could ' have ' been any . doubt about it before that doubt was removed -today by the vote : in the Assembly, on the motion to .reconsider." The hope of the Sacramento contin gent went glimmering this morning when Grove Johnson's attempt \u25a0 to' se cure a reconsideration of the -vote by which the capital removal bill- was passed on Saturday. The refusal to reconsider was by a vote substantially as decisive and one-sided as was that by : which the bill was passed. Recon sideration received only, 17 votes as against 41, in the negative. Individual changes in the vote ior reconsideration Indicated no change of heart on the main question.. .'

Peabody says: "Mrs. Eddy was pres ent at the autopsy that she ordered performed on the body of her husband. Dr. ; Asa Eddy, who died in ISB3. She saw the body of her -husband cut up by surgeons and later beheld his heart held up for examination. The defect of the heart that caused his death was pointed out to her by the surgeons. . "The surgeon who performed the au topsy. Dr. Rufus Knoyes,' so Chambers street, is now engaged ,in writing an article dealing with this matter. / A day or two after the autopsy Mrs. Eddy came out with a statement to the effect that Dr. Eddy had died from arsenical poisoning, 'mentally administered.' "Can any one read of such things and believe that Mrs. Eddy has not long been a fit subject for alienists?" demands Peabody. DECLARES HER IXSA.VE "Here is a woman who declared that two men were practicing witchcraft, a woman who claims for herself that she can sit in her own parlor and blast crops in the fields and being sickness and death to whomsoever she wills. Yet, on the other hand, to her followers she declares that there ja no sickness. Just wait until the alienists examine- Mrs. Eddy. Just think of Christian Science believers! who have no use for medical practitioners, hiring mental ex perts to. defend their claim that Mrs. Eddy is -sane." There is much mystery as to the identity of the people who are back ing Glover in his suit, for Glover him self ,1s practically penniless and has no money for traveling expenses: to say nothing of lawyers.
