SAX FRANCISCO, March 7.—Success was the proscution’s at almost every turn in today's developments in the Ruef ex tortion case. The most notable instance was in the District Court of Appeals, where Justices Cooper, Hall and Kerrigan denied Ruef's application for a writ of prohibition to restrain Judge Dunne from any of the proceedings against Ruef in the Superior Court, pending the deter mination of the accused man's appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States for a permanent writ of error, the effect of which, if granted, would be to sum marily postpone the entire prosecution. While the attorneys for Ruef, who is still In hiding, were awaiting the de cision of the A_ppeal Court, Judge Dunne proceeded with the two cases of perjury and conspiracy against Ruef and Chief of Police Dinan. He was obdurate to the endeavors of Attorney Shortridge to win delay for Ruef. Motions to strike the case from the files and to set aside the indictments were denied and to escape the imminent necessity of pleading at once. Ruef's counsel entered a demurrer which had been previously, prepared to meet this emergency should it arise. Ar guments on this were set for tomorrow morning. To Force Ruef Into Court. Coroner Walsh, delegated to apprehend Ruef after the court had declared that Sheriff O'Neil was incompetent, reported his failure and was given until tomorrow morning to make good. Failing then. Judge Dunne will probably appoint an officer to bring the fugitive into court. Shortly before 5 o’clock, counsel for Ruef made application to the State Su preme Court for identically the same writ of prohibition refused earlier in the day by the District Court of Appeals. Pending the determination of this move, it is the purpose of Judge Dunne to go right ahead with the case, but it is not the intention of counsel for the defense to produce Ruef in Judge Dunne’s cr.urt while the matter stands thus. As sistant District Attorney Heney said to day: “We are not greatly exercised about the disappearance of Ruef. He is not far away, and if the Coroner does not bring him into court at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I shall request the appointment of an elisor—not Mr. Bums, but some citizen who is not a partisan and vet a man who will do his duty. We shall get Ruef into court." SIOH MARKET BACK III IIS WEAK TONE EXCITEMENT IN FINANCIAL CIR CLES OVER READING ENDS. ARCHIE ROOSEVELT HAS A SINKING SPELL NEW YORK. Ma*eh 7.—The ex citement in financial circles caused by the heavy buying in Reading yester day, said to be for control of the prop erty, died out today and the stock market resumed its generally weak tone. No explanation of the Reading incident was obtainable officially to day, but the denials of Harriman in terests that they were in’any way con cerned were generally accepted in Wall Street and speculators were more inclined to the opinion that the heavy buving was for the accout of H. C. Frick. It has been reported for some time that Mr. Frick sold out a considerable portion of his holdings around 150 and it was held to be nat ural that he should take back his stock at the low prices of the past week. It was noticed also that 125 seemed to be the price limited at which the heavy purchases weite made yesterday and this fact was used as an argument against the reports that the stock was being taken for control. In the contest for Northern Pacific the shares were bought practically without regard to the price. Reading opened at 121 or points lower than last night, the highest was 124 3-8, the lowest llS3i and the last sale was made at 119. The sales were 231,- 900 shares. Yesterday 736.500 shares changed hands. The closing tone of the mar ket was very weak with the more ac tive shares showing the following de clines from yesterday’s last prices: Reading 5 3-8; Louisville and Nash ville 6; Union Pacific 15-S: St. Paul 15-8; Great Northern preferred, 2; Chesapeake and Ohio 3 and New York Central 1%. There was none of the excited trading of yesterday, dur ing today’s sessions. The total sales for the day were 1 400.700 shares, against more than 2,0000,000 yesterday.

Orr, of the New York Life, to whom Mr. Perkins yesterday, before leaving on a trip to the South, addressed a letter inclosing the check. President Orr also gave out the let ter. In it Mr. Perkins declares - that in dismissing the criminal proceedings against him the court intimated th the campaign contribution was not proper corporate purpose. He agall assorts that he was acting upon a re quest of :tio then president of the Nev York Life when he advanced the mone: for the campaign contribution in 190 and says that when the then presi dent of the company reimbursed hi there was no thought on thb pa either of any personal advantages, b tt belief that they were “acting fi the best and broadest interests of th policyholders, both at home abroad.” The letter follows: "In 1904. at the resquest of the the president of the qompany, I advanc S4S.5P0 as a payment on behalf of th New York Life Insurance Comp; the Republican National Campaigi Committee.
