triad e by Burns shows that at least two
of the six Councilraen were led to cast
their votes in favor of the company be
cause of the reasons named.
The relations of the othera with Det-
Tiller were not only suspicious, but it
was proved by Burns that some of them
were publicly voicing their opposition
to the franchise of the Home Company
until the Toledo persuader had them
<*ut dining and arranged matters In a
manner similar to that which led to his
ißrtictmont in San Francisco.
Burns, not satisfied with his investi
gation into the Home and Pacific States
companies in Oakland, pursued the
pamo Into Berkeley. While the result
of his Investigation there was not as
conclusive as his Investigation In Oak
land, h« learned enough to satisfy him
self that the Town Trustees evinced a
peculiar sense of philanthropy In deal-
Ing with the corporation. Trustees
Christian Hoff and Francis Ferrier
were the only ones to vote against th«
franchise, the life of which was ex
tended from thirty-five to fifty years
against the wishes of the Improvement
clubs and industrial interests of Berke
ley.
Dr. Ferdinand Butterfleld. represent

the bidding for the franchise began in
Berkeley and rnised the sale price from
j:5.000 to $45,000.

Butterfiold was the principal witness
before the Grand Jury yesterday. Lanff

mation secured by Burns, piled Butter
field with question after question con
corning the activity of Dctwiler and
Ualsey in Oakland and Berkeley. But
terfiold had Intimate knowledge of the
operations of both men, but made no
effort to evade questions put to him.
The graft prosecutors made the volun

Boss' Third Telephone Deal
Sifted to the Bottom
New Evidence Supplies the Basis for
the Return of Many True Bills
The foundation for another indictment against Abe Ruef on the charge
of soliciting a bribe was laid by the Grand Jury yesterday through the testi
mony of Dr. Ferdinand Butterfield, who appeared as a witness and gave
the details of the scheme by which Ruef had planned to fatten his purse
by judicious playing of three sides in connection with the granting of a
new telephone franchise by the Board of Supervisors.
The testimony of the day also paved'
the way for the Indictment of Eddie
Qraney, the erstwhile "honest black
smith," more recently prominent as' a
member of the boodle-passing fight
trust. This wai accomplished through
the confession of Supervisor W. W.
Sanderson, who appeared for the first
time before the Inquisitorial body. The
returning of several new Indictments
In connection with the bribery of the
Board of Supervisors by the Home
Telephone Company and the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, -while the light of the rival cor
porations over the granting of a fran
chise to the Home Telephone Company
was In progress, also was assured.
Dr. Butterfleld was taken to the
Grand Jury room by Assistant District
Attorney Heney, and was kept on the
witness stand for a considerable pe
riod. As an ally of the United States
Independent Telephone Company and
the Kellogg Swlthboard Company, he
said, he had received a letter from
Ruef at the time the granting- of a new
telephone franchise was under consid
eration. He told of the contents of the
letter, which in Itself was sufficient to
convict the arch-grafter of the addi
tional crime of catering to all three
sides in a triangular fight. The letter
was guarded in Its wording and an at
tempt was made to veil its significance,
but the substance of its contents, as
stated by Dr. Butterfleld, was the sug
gestion that the opening of bids for a
new franchise cleared a way of which
the Independent Company should take
advantage, and that arrangements to
ward this end could be made If Dr. But
terfield would see Ruef personally.
The examination of the Los Angeles
officials of the Home Telephone Com
pany and the bankers of that city sub
penaed to fill In the details of the exact
manner in which the funds for the pur
chase «f the "honor" of the San Fran
cisco Supervisors were brought to- this
city and delivered consumed the great
er part of the four-hour session. It
was a successful day for the prosecu
tion, and the grim smiles of the pros
ecuting officials when they left the se
cret chamber confirmed the tale told
by the beads of sweat on the foreheads
of many of the witnesses — that the ses
sion had been a strenuous one and that
it had been productive of results.
A. M. Dole, the Los Angeles promoter
of the Home Telephone Company, was
given a severe examination. Dole was
confronted with a statement of his
own. made several months ago at a
banquet in Palo Alto, to the effect that
the boodle money for the buying of
the votes of the Supervisors had been
taken from Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco in an automobile a few days after
the fire, and Assistant District At
torney Heney demanded that he
tell exactly what he meant by
this assertion. He finally admit
ted having made the statement at
tributed to him, but asserted that he
had spoken inadvisedly, as his evidence
in substantiation of such a charge was
merely hearsay. He denied that he bad
any part Jn the bringing of the bribery
funds to San Francisco, or that he had
had any personal knowledge of such a
transaction.
J. S. Torranee was tailed upon to
Mayor Sees Gage and Will
Stand or Fall With Ruef
Continued Prom Page 1, Column 6
"Would you care to say that you are
not to appear as counsel in these
cases?" 1
"No, I could not answer tnat question I
at this time. You might say that I j
came to San Francisco in connection
with a matter in the Supreme Court,
with which neither Ruef nor the Mayor
{ ha<3 any interest. Frankly. I cannot
say how long I shall rrmaln. . No. I
cannot at this time make any more
definite statement as to my represent
ing either Mr. Schmitz or Mr. Ruef.
Possibly the next time I sco you I may
be able to cay more."
Gage was asked If he would give an
Interview on his opinion of the graft
Investigation, and replied that he could
not do so. • <
"What do the people in Los Angeles '
say about It? ' was another question to
which the ex-Governor had no answer.
The fact remains, however, that the
bond between the boss and his Mayor
has again been cemented through the
necessities of adversity, and Boodler
Schmitz has abandoned his attempt to
desert Boodler Kuef.
SCIIMITZ CHAKGKS HIS MIM)
Time was. not long ago. when Schmitz
felt quite confident that he could es
cape without the aid of Ruef. In fact,
he figured it out that It would be bet
ter so.
Subsequent to the fire Schmitz had
made friends. Like the unjust steward
in the parable be made to himself
friends of the mammon of unrighteous
ness against the day of reckoning. And
bis fiends worked hard to save him.
Powerful agencies were set at work to
discredit the prosecution, and men who
knew more or less about telephone
matters, and others In the front rank of
the lawyers, who got close to Schmitz
after the Sre, were unable to see any
merit In the work which was being
undertaken by Heney and Burns. In
epite of the disclosures In the press
the Influence of Schmitz 1 friends led
many people- to discredit the graft
prosecution and Schmitz smiled as he
turned his back on his partner. It
was notable 'that Ruef emiled also.
Then came the confessions of the Su
pervisors and It was no longer possible
for anybody to stay the tide of public
sentiment which was running bank
full. Bchxnltz* only hope was to crawl
back to Ruef.
SCHMITZ DISSERTS MIL.L.IOXAIRBS
Having deserted his partner In his
first fright the Mayor now deserted the
millionaires tn his second. When he
saw that the path to the conviction of
the corporation heads was an open one
through the testimony of auditors and
treasurers, who must tell what they
know or put their own foot In the trap,
he made haste to get In out of the rain.
He went to Ruef because -there was
nowhere else to go, and the thought
of standing alone was too much for his
nerves. Having deserted everybody
aad everything In turn, from the fiddle
to the millionaires, It didn't matter that
he had given Ruef the double cross so
recently. There was no one left who

: give additional testimony along the
same line. He said that he came to San j
; Francisco with the $100,000 which was
sent from Los Angeles to the Homo
Telephone Company here. He denied,
however, that this money was Intended
for any but a legitimate purpose, and
asserted that it was used in payment
of the $25,000 to the city and the $75,
000 to the Relief Corporation for the
franchise. Torranee's replies were not
wholly satisfactory and his cross-ex
amination lasted more than half an
hour. .
W. C. Patterson, vice president of the
First National Bank of Los Angeles,:
was an Important witness as to the
method by which the transfer of funds
was effected. He testified that the
Home Telephone Company of Los An
geles carried an account with the bank
with which he was connected, but. he
was unable to give the status of this
account or of the amounts withdrawn
at different times without consulting
the bank records. He was told to ac
quire this Information and it is prob
able that he will be recalled.
William C. Mead, president o£ the
Central Bank of Los Angeles, was
asked questions similar to those pro
pounded to Patterson, but said that
neither the Home Telephone Company
nor the Empire «Construction Company
of Oakland carried an account with his
bank, or transferred any Bums through
the institution.
A. B. Cass, president of the Los An
geles branch of the Home Telephone
Company, was subjected to a long ex
amination, efforts being made by the
prosecution to determine whether he
had any personal knowledge of the
method by which the money used in
the bribery was sent to this city. Cass
denied knowledge of the local bribery,
as did Frank M. Brown, secretary of
the Los Angeles Company, and C F.
Sloan, another official of the same com
pany, who were on the stand a short
time.
The only other witnesses who testi
fied during the afternoon were Percy
Morgan of the California Wine Com
pany, who was a director of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Com- |
pany at the time the bribery deal was
carried out, and T. S.'Parkhurst, pur
chasing agent of the Empire Construc
tion Company in Oakland. An effort
was made to learn from Morgan wheth
er a bribe of the size or that given by
the Pacific States Company could have
been passed without the knowledge of
the board of directors. Parkhurst was ;
asked the nature of his connection with j
the Empire Construction Company and
was dismissed without further ques
tioning. *
Nicholas Prendegast. outside man of
the Home Telephone Company in Oak
land, and E. Oppenheim were called aa
witnesses during the afternoon, but did
not testify.
The Grand Jury adjourned at 5:30
o'clock, to meet again at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. The remaining Los Angeles
witnesses will be put on the stand to-
I day and several will be recalled. The
greater part of the afternoon probably
will be devoted to the preparation of
the indictments made possible by the
evidence taken during the past two ;
day 6.
had not been presented with that enig
matic symbol^by Schmitz. So he began
to send his men to Ruef. First he sent
his private detective, Fanning. But
Fanning was turned back at the door
of Ruef's room by the guard. After
ward he sent Thomas Finn, and Biggy
says he let Finn In because he did not i
know who he was. and that Finn
j laughed «t him as he departed. j
Finally Ruef's lawyers visited the
\ mansion on the corner of Pierce and
Vallejo streets, where the great deser
ter at present resides. Detective Burns
says that some of his retainers ob
served that move and noted the fact.
Now comes Henry T. Gage from Los
Angeles, and it is believed that he will
figure as the defender of both Schmitz
and Jtuef. Gago does not see fit to
deny the Inference.

FORMATION OF FIGHT THUST
In former years four clubß had con

each paid $1200 annually into the city
treasury. One fight was held' every
month, and the pormits went to the
clubs In rotation. When Ruef's Board
of Supervisors assumed power in Jan

into one under the name of the AssOt
elated Athletic Club. The men In con
trol were Eddie Graney, James Coff

The new club was given a monopoly
on the fights for the year and paid
$1200.

The way of the fight trust was beset
with difficulties. It has had an In

Grand Jury Takes Notice of
Unlawful Acts of Police
Chief Dinan Gets Letter Telling Him
Negligence Must Be Checked
Charles Sonntag, chairman of the Grand Jury committee on police, is
taking an active interest in investigating that department of the municipal
government, tours of inspection at night forming a part of^ the work he
has outlined for himself- and his associates. Sonntag is convinced that the
police department is" a fertile subject* of investigation and that it can be
materially improved In more than one
particular. Under efficient . manage
ment, he declares, there would be no
better police department In the United
States.
Sonntag has amassed a lot of evi
dence on violations of the law, which
he believes the police can readily cor
rect. The first of his suggestions is
contained In the following letter ad
dressed to Chief of Police Dinan:

of $20,000 was collected. Of this, $9000
