Manslaughter With Recom
mendation of Mercy Ver
dict of Jury After Very
Prolonged Session.
After being out for forty-three hours, the jury in the case of
Mrs. Ruth Davis came in yesterday morning at 11 o'clock with
a verdict of manslaughter. The jury went out on Thursday af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock, and. have Deen locked . up for two nights.
Four times they were in court, after the case was intrusted to
them, and each time they declared their inability of reaching a
verdict.
Judge O'Brien sent them back each time to ponder over the
evidence and expressed the belief that they could arrive at a ve'r-
diet. At an early hour yesterday morning the foreman of the
jury, H ,H. Bacon, declared that if they stayed out all summer
they never could come together. They evidently come to the con-
elusion that his honor was going to keep them out all winter,
for at 11 o'clock they announced that they had reached a ver-
diet. .; "
' Mrs. Davis was brought into court, and when the verdict was
read, Bhe showed no more emotion than she has displayed dur-
ing the trial. She was taken back to jail and will be sentenced
on Monday. '
' District Attorney. McCarran was well satisfied with the verdict,
although he had hoped. for a stronger one. '
"The conviction of Mrs. Davis," he said, "will have a good
effect on others of her class. I am glad that the jury did not end
in a disagreement, for it would have put the county to another big
expense. Had there been a disagreement I would have had
another trial, for I was determined to use my every endeavor to'
secure a conviction." '

her in a carriage and drove away.

.By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21. At a joint meeting today of the
Federal, State and municipal authorities to discuss the bubonic
plague situation, Governor James N. Gillett and Mayor Edward
R. Taylor were among those, present. The following resolution
was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, that it be the sense of the
meeting 'that the fullest authorized publicity be given the plague
situation in the city at all times; that newsp'apers be requested to
publish such reports as may be furnished by the department of
public health ; that the interests of the city are best served by this
course."
A committee composed of Drs. O. P. Huls, Regerisberger and
Bue was appoiuted to confer with representatives of the press in
this regard. The decision to henceforth encourage publicity is in
line with the views held from the beginning by the Federal au
thorities, who disapproved of efforts toward concealment as-un-'
fair, futile and often disastrous. The total verified cases of the
Hague to date is thirty-nine, deaths twenty-two. Unverified sus
pects, twenty-three.

Act of Legislature Is
Held to Be Vicious
.'' By Associated Pre&s. ' " ' '
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 21. Thfc Superior Court made an import-
ant ruling today. The case is the first of its kind known any-
where. A bill was passed by the legislature allowing the claims
of John Mullen for something over $40,000. Governor Pardee
told the holders of the claims that he would sign the bill if they
would take $25,000 and give the State full release. They agreed
to do it, otherwise the bill Would have gone into the waste bas-
ket. The legislature having, adjourned, the first installment of
the claim was paid January lit, 1906, but the State controller re-
fused to pay the second installment and tendered enough to make
up $25,000 for the whole claim.
Judge Shields decided today that an agreement to take. less.
than the sum allowed by the legislature was void and that the
governor has no power to bargain to sign a bill in the interest
of the State. His duty is to approve or disapprove. The practice
of the legislature to shoulder off upon the governor its respon-
sibilities is iield to be both '-vicious and dangerous.
STRIKERS ATTACK
STREET CAR CREW
By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21. Em
bittered at the sight of crowded cars
along Mission street during the rush
hours last evening, a mob of striking
carmen made a vicious attack on the
crews and passengers in front of the
Labor . Temple at Fourteenth and
Mission streets, broke all of the win
dows in the stalled cars, ripped the
cash registers from the cars . and
threw them into the street, injured
two passengers by flying stones, and
dragged the crew of the first car into
the union headquarters and tried to
force them to join the union. The
conductor and motorman refused, to
accede to the demands of the infuri
ated union carmen, and finally made
their escape after being terribly beat
en by the strikers.
THAW WILL AGAIN
RETAIN DELK1AS
By Associated Press. ,
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2i:
Del phi n M. Delmas, who was suppos
ed to have lost out with the Thaw
family when he failed to clear Harry
Thaw on the first trial for the mur
der of Stanford White, leaves for
New York today to consult with the
other lawyers in the case and the
family regarding the second trial,
which will begin this tl. It is be
lieved that Delmas may be retained
to conduct this trial on account of
his brilliant cross examination and
conduct of the case. The unfortu
nate phase, "dementia Americana,"
which failed of its purpose and lent
itself to ridicule, . has not damaged
Delmas' standing at the New York
bar, as he tamed Jerome and got the
better of the district attorney in
many verbal battles.
Delmas' fee for his work in the
first trial is said to be somewhere
ranging up to $100,000. He will
probably receive this amount for the
second trial if he is retained.
