The aenat today advanced the aiftlng file H. R. 0. approprtatlna- 2.000 for a fish hatchery In Cherry county, which waa In definitely postponed on recommendation of the finance committee, the vote afterward being reconsidered. The motion to place the bill on the sifting file was fought vig orously by Epperson and King, and was de fended by McKesson of Lancaster. The appropriation of $15,000 for a Ne braska exhibit at the Seattle exposition wis given an endorsement In the aenate thla morning by a vote of 18 to 19 on a mo tion by Patrick to Indefinitely postpone the bill. The committee had reported it for . general file, but the Sarpy county senator sought to have t killed without Its going before the committee of the whole. Epperson of Clay opposed the motion, de claring that as Washington' had ap propriated this amiAint for the Transmls alsalppl exposition Nebraska is In honor bound to return the compliment Aldiich, Wlltee and Burns also opposed the motion, and Thomson. Sibley and Patrick ' spoke against It. The failure of the motion to oerry Is an Indication that the appropria tion will go through the senate as it passed the house. Lancaster After Appropriations. Th attempt of McKesson of Lancaster to secure a reconsideration of the vote by which H. R. 200, carrying an appropriation it 1J0.0OO for the purpose of making teat borings for oil and ooe.1. Is taken by some of the senators who have been fighting for retrenchment tn appropriations as an Indi cation that there is a combine among sen ators Interested In appropriations that have ben turned down to reinstate them. Lan caster at-urtty has suffered heavily in hav ing appropriations for Us Institutions re duced and It Is charged that McKeBson and Curns are organizing the members in a log rolling attempt to get some of the defuuet appropriations revived. Lancaster county suffered heaviest when the senate Indefinitely postponed the bill providing for an appropriation of $180,000 for buildings at the state farm, and It is charged that McKesson's attempt to re vive the oil bill was a part of an agreement entered Into among the senators to revive some of these bills. The attempt In this cr.se failed as the house refused to recon sider the vote. Another Indication that there Is such a combination was- found I In the fact Mc Kesson took the leud In the fight to rein slate the bill providing for a fish hatchery In itierry county. In this he waa success ful, and It is believed this action was used as bait to draw some of the northwestern senators to the support of an attempt to revive the state farm appropriation. An at tempt will be made, it is believed, to re ' verso the action of the aenate In cutting down the salary appropriation for the Peru Normal school.

SAYS- IT IS UP P G'.ASS TO EXPLAIN Another Mrmbrr of Board rat All Knonlrdc of Ilrlhrrf and Defers Grand Jarr to Indicted" Maa. SAN FRANCISCO, March $0. Two .sen sational pieces of eldnce In the bribery graft were adduced before the grand Jury today. Three members of the executive board of 'the Pacific States Telf-phono company, E. S. Pillabury, Homer 8. King and Timothy Hopkins, testified that tlioy had no knowledge of the alleged bribing of supervisors to vote against the award of a competitive franchise to the Home Telephone company, and that If bribery was committed It waa "up to'VVice Prcrl dent Glass, whom the grand Jury already has Indicted bh nine count to explain. Another member of the executive board, Percy 9. Morgan, made the same denial of knowledge several days ago when on the .Witness stand. The second aenaation came when Eh 8. Plllsbury, who Is a di rector of and attorney for the Pacific States Telephone company, testified that Abraham Ruef. the Indicted political boss, has been for more than two years on the private payroll of that corporation and has been paid regularly $1,200 a month. This, said Plllsbury, was more than the salary paid himself. When he discovered this, he testified, he objected to the com pany and his own remuneration waa In creased. Kerernl Witnesses Examined. The following witnesses Were examine! by the grand Jury today: E. 8. Plllsbury, Timothy Hopkins, Homer S. King, W. J. Kennedy, cashier of the Pacific States Telephone company; John 8. Cannon, Jan. ; ltor of the Mills building, who was In terrogated as to his knowledge as to the alleged paymept of supervisorial bribes by J. V. Halsoy In behalf of the Pacific States company In a room In that build ing; Dr. Fred Eaton and Mlas Mary Ryan. The latter was Halsey'S itenographer ut the time of the alleged bribery and Is now employed as stenographer by the South ern Pacific comptny. Miss Ryan was the last wttnes so fthe day. , Louis Glass caused considerable surprise by appearing In the witness room.- He stated that he had come of his own volition. Assistant District Attorney 1 Heney and Special Agent Burns contradicted this statement flatly. They said that Glass had been subpoenaed, but by . mistake. He was not called before the grand Jury, but was excused a few moments after his ar rival. Ruef Trial This Week. District Attorney Langdon said that it the plans are not altered the grand Jury wilt hold one session every day next week, and the trial of Ruef on the French res taurant extortion cases Will be actually begun next Tuesday and stead 111 proceeded with.' Id this event, said Langdon, It Is likely, that h and Special Prosecutor Hiram L. Johnson will appear against Ruef, while Heney ' engineers the investi gation before the' grand Jury. Langdon said that today's proceedings before that body fad been "very satisfactory." ' He stated that additional Indictments will be returned as a Result ' of the telephone investigations, dui ne aia nit Know now oon nor' would sajr against whom. The Inquisitors .contrary to expectations did not get through with the Pacific states and Home Telephone companies this weak. Those Investigations wlU be .carrier over Into April. Heney stated that the sub poenalng of Edwin T. Earl and Dr. John R. Baynes of Los Angeles was done with out-his knowledge, that, neither of them has yet started for San Francisco, that Mr. Haynes has been temporarily excused and that In hl Heney's opinion Earl and Haynes do not know much In connection with the Home Telephone affairs that would be valuable to the grand Jury. rrogram of Grand Jnry, The grand Jury program, as far as any program Is observed In that body, proposes the commencement early next week of an exhaustive investigation Into the alleged bribery of supervisors and other administra tion officials and politicians by the United Railways, the San Francisco Gas and Elec tric company and the Prise Fight trust, in the order named. Mayor Bchmlts today Issued a statement denying the charge made by the prosecution that he Is endeavoring by vigorous means to cause the resignation of a certain num ber of supervisors in order to fill their places with men who would frustrate any attempt on the part of the supervisorial board to revoke those public service fran chises, which they are accused of having awarded as a result of bribery. The mayor said, however, that some of the local labor organisations are using their influences to cause resignations of supervisors who. It Is announced by the prosecution, have con fessed their guilt to the grand Jury. The mayor said he had no official knowledge of such confessions and that If such knowl edge comes to him officially he will at onoe take steps to effect a change In the board's personnel. Rnefa Plan of Defease). Abe Ruef today Intimated In an Interview that his defense against any Indictment arising from the alleged confession of Supervisor Gallagher will be that Gallag her's testimony. If he had testified, is with out corroboration and cannot be supported by the testimony of other witnesses. In a second Interview, Ruef for first time since his capture at the Trocadero, denounced Ms prosecutors, declaring that he Is being kept In private prison In viola tion of all law and precedent aad announced that he will produce in court affidavits sworn to before his capture, proving that the acts of his prosecutor are part, of a conspiracy. Ruef claimed also that the reason that every newapaper In San Fran cisco Is denouncing him as a grafter and a rascal Is that these newspapers either are privately subsidised or were unable to wield the Influence (n administration affairs they craved. v One of the seven guards employed by Elisor Blggy to watch against 1 the escape of Ruef from his prison on Fllmore street, having fallen sick, his place has been taken by former United State Marshal Shin Blggy took Ruef for a walk tn the streets this afternoon, the weather being excep tionally fine. Ruef has been allowed to have a pair of heavy dumbbells brought Into hi prison chamber. With these be exercises regularly. Special Agent Burns of the prosecution stated today that he la purposely refrain. Ing from arresting Abraham K. Detwllar (A Toledo, In order to give him ful oppor tunlty to arrange for the $130,000 bal fixed by Justice Lawlor, who has formally de clared Detwller a fugitive from Justice and Issued a bench warrant for his arrest on each of the thirteen count of bribery re turned against him by the grand Jury.

Secretary Garfield has found It necessary to Inform Governor Frants of Oklahoma as he did Governor Brooks of Wyoming, on Thur day last, that he can make no exception In favor of Oklahoma In resrect to the order for the removal of fences on the public land on April 1, and he so notified the governor today. In his appeal for delay Governor Frant said that proctlcally all of the publlo do main tn that territory had been absorbed by the land grants to the prospective state and he urged that the lands could be rented to better advantage If the fence order was not enforced. He added that "cattle men using these lands are ready to pay rental to the state at once tf the order be held not to apply to Oklahoma, but wants to know Immediately If the order Is to apply so as to remove fences and herds and abanddh pasture.

Senators Elerlck and Mattes championed a movement to remove the discrimination and put the lawyer on a par with the doctors two In each county. Senators Toung and DeArmand opposed.

When the vote wa finally taken the senate voted unanimously for the bill. Honse Works Slow.

Including cigars and drinks, in exchange for votes. The latter provided that candidates must file a detailed statement of their campaign expenses with the auditor of the county In which they reside, and the amendment provided that the auditor should burn these at the end of one year. It was asserted that the auditor' office would soon be overcrowded with such statement and the friend of the bill asserted that the having of the statements on record would be a deterrent to violation of the law. The Gillllland bill, providing that express officers and all other places where liquor Is dispensed C. O. D. must pay a mulct tax, waa discussed and amended and then sent to the Judiciary committee to have It patched up again.
