r*rti£ily concealed amusejaent and
:hen departed. After the argument by
Ka«Ts attorneys the case was contin
ued until tfcis afternoon, when the
prosecution will b« given *n oppor
tunity to answer the arguments and
f.le aiEdsvits In answer to that raafle
cf JT :ord ln Ru * rs »>*hair yesterday.
".•Case No. S2S. Abraham Raef defend
tist, is before the court for trial." aa- j
noanced Judge Lawlor when the ses- \
sion was called yesterday afternoon.
Henry Ach at once arose and for
mally objected to any further.proc>e>d
iags in tbe case against Ruef and filed
a motion that the arraignment of the
.defendant be set aside. asd vscate<i.'He
_ cxT-Laiced briefly that the motion was
rased on the contention that Ruef had j
rever been arraUrned. and then pro- I
"reeded to read a long typewritten mo- ;
t'.on which had been prepared. He>s- :
plained that no true copy of. the. in- i
. '/lictirjejit had- ever been ser^'ed on his!
• t:!ent and that, therefore, be had never j
. -J>eei3 £.rrs.Jgne-d as contemplated, by tlie ]
Lav, and the, setting of ' the case f or i
trial was consequently premature. '
ATTACK* PBOVBCtTIOX
Accompanying the formal motion was j
the interesting affidavit made by Eu»(. j
in which fee not only based h!s attack j
"3 the alleged failure to arraign himj
properly, but went back into the bis- j
tory of his now ftmous immurjry con- j
tract, openly accusing both Jcdge Law- j
lor and District Attorney Langdoa and J
T;i« associates of deliberately and -xith- }
cut cibw breaking th^lr word to r.irr.. I
Ruef sketched the rroH»y bribery case]
• from the time he was indicted up to the :
rreseni, affirming that "when the pur- J
ported copy of the indictment was d»- I
*!Ter*Kl to him- he kept it to himself. |

On the other side of the haU the con
testing convention took conservative
action and chose deleeates untrammeled
by instructions, positive assurance be
ing given by Joseph X. Stripling, who
J*d the movement, that despite the fact
that they were branded as bolters | by
the oih*>r convention the delegates they
nanifd would be seated in the national
convention.
T3i* office holders* convention adopted
resolutions approving the policies of
the Roosevelt administration and the
conservative manner in which he had
carried them out. and instructed the
delegates elected to the national con
vention to support the president's poli
cies asd the candidate whs would con

William 11. Taft as such candidate.

BRYAN CRITICISES TAFT
Suggests Changes in the. Laws
Against Burglary and Murder
JERSET CITY. Feb. «.— An enthu
siastic reception was accorded William
J. Bryan in the Majestic theater this
afternoon. He was introduced as the
"next president of the t'nited States.**
which evoked applause from the large
audience.
The keynote ol Bryan's speech was
that democratic principles were grow
ing stronger, while those of the repub
lican party were weakening. Bryan
said that the president's recent message
indicated that there was a conspiracy
among men of weakh to prevent en
forcement of the laws. This conspiracy
\u25a0was a consequence of the delivery of
Use country to the highest bidder.
Bryan said that Secretary Taft want
ed to amend th*- present law against
conspiracy In restraint of trade by in
serting the word '"unreasonable."
. **Why not." he asked, "ir.alce the same
amendment to the lews against burg
lary or murder, so that the burglar
should be required to take only half or
the murderer to.' slay politely?"

In a financial speec!i Senator Oulber- i
son of Texas gave the result of his j
analysis of the recent report, of the {
secretary of the treasury on th*- Pana- 1
ma canal bond, issue, in order to sub-:
stantiate his contention that, national \
banks of New York city were unduly I
f.ivored by the secretary in"tbe disposi- i
tion of . public funds and liad violate^ I
the law by issuing: those bonds. - V.j
Culberson said that the secretary ofj
the treasury by hi? report to the.-Stn-;
ate had raised an jssue of ffactt t as to^i
whether national banks In X^-vr^Tork :
used the J5».«>00.006 <«f public money;
deposited with them for speculative;
purposes, or "whether this ffioney Was
used to meet the demand of outside •
banks for reserve purposes.
Culberson complained that the com- ;
rsiittee on finance had- failed to take any !
action on the resolution directing- that;
it inquire into the causes of the pres- \
ent financial stringency. He said that j
tbe report of the secretary of the treas- i
ury had shown that that office had vio- |
laled the law s:i Issainfr the Panama;
bonds because money for the canal -was j
not* needed; and that he had violated]
the law In awarding thes* bonds to i
national banks, instead of individual?, J
and in using the proceeds of the sales ]
for the purpose set forth in the report!
and not for the construction of the ca- j
nal. - \u25a0 ." \

Hr the principles advocated by the J
democratic party. .
\u25a0 ' ; "It Is no wonder." he said, "that its]
reading provoked such democratic ap- \u25a0
plause.**
The president; he said, was admirable;
as a' scan in some respects and a, man '
most worthy of admiration in some re- i
spects. but he declared . hr. would in- j
dulge in no panegyric nor would he).
give him credit for what the demo : l
