Ruef Pleads Guilty Plot Against the Czar Test of Submarine Inter "lew With Harry Orchard General Kurokl at West Point Standard Oil's Monopoly. With prnclically the entire commun ity paying respect to their honor, the bodies of the 17 Mystic Shriners of Reading who were killed in the South ern California wreck on May 11, were brought home Sunday night. With the dead came 10 survivors who showed the effects of the ordeal through which they passed. When the funeral train arrived 200 Knights Templnr in full uniform were on hand to net as a guard of honor. An entire troop of the state constab ulary together with the city's full po lice force were on hand to preserve order. They were called upon to do little more than prevent people from blocking the approaches to the sta tion. The 17 caskets containing the Read ing dead were carried from the car and placed on four large floats, each of which was drawn by white horses. Each float was laden with flowers. Hended by an escort of Shriners and Sir Knights, the procession moved from the depot to the three city morgues, where the bodies were depos ited for the night. Large Masonic Funeral. Two thousand persons were at the station nt Binghamton when the sur vivors of the California wreck, with the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Cutler, reached that city at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Fred W. Grummond was in a worse condition than telegrams had led her friends to believe. She is still suffering greatly from bruises to all parts of her body, but her greatest trouble is the severe nervous shock to which she was subjected by being pinned for two hours under the wreck ed baggage car. A large Masonic funeral, was held for Mr. und Mrs. Cutler Monday after noon, all of the 33rd degree Masons of the city acting as bearers. California Buying Wheat. Wheat options at Chicago for July, September and December all went up past the dollar mark on Friday and remained there to the close, with the pit in a condition which a lo cal newspaper described as "brain storm." Erstwhile mythical dollar wheat being a reality, prophesy took on new enthusiasm and there was much talk of $1.25 wheat. It was this sort of talk, coupled with reiteration of previous short crop predictions, that brought a flood of buying orders Into the market and set a new record for the volume of business done. News from California was surprising. Or dinarily that state Is a good wheat pro ducer. On Frid(ay California bought 500,000 bushels 'of real wheat In Chi cago to be delivered at her granaries and predictions from that state were that California would need close to 10,000,000 bushels ere long. Ruef Pleads Guilty. Abraham Ruef, acknowledged ad viser of Mayor Schniltz, and once the recognized dictator of municipal af fairs In San Francisco, pleaded guilty Wednesday to the charge of extortion In Judge Dunne's department of the superior court. Sentence will be pro nounced on him two weeks hence. After a conference with his four at torneys in Judge Dunne's private chambers and after they had with drawn from his case because of his re solve to change his plea and avoid trial, Ruef, to the utter astonishment of the prosecution, arose In court and announced In a dramatic address that after long and earnest consideration he had determined to wltjidr.iw his plea of not guilty and to enter a plea of guilty. He then asked that the jury be dismissed and the trial aban doned. Plot Against the Czar. A terrorist conspiracy directed ngalnst Emperor Nicholas, the exist- once of which has been suspected for some time past, has been revealed by the arrest at Tsarskoe-Selo of a sol dier of the guard regiment, who has confessed to the acceptance of a large money bribe to assist In the murder of his majesty. All the threads of this conspiracy, which is radically different from form er attempts of thb nature, are not yet In the hands of tho secret service men, A few underlings have been appre hended, but the real Instigators of the crime and the men who furnished the blood money have not yet beon Iden tified.

That the history and operation o) the Standard Oil interests "show foi the past 35 years a substantial monopolization of the petroleum in dustry of the country, a deliberate de struction of competition and a conse quent control of that industry by less than a dozen men, who have reaped enormous profits therefrom," largely through abuse of transportation fa cilities, is charged in a report Just submitted to President Roosevelt by Commissioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith. The report contains the net results of a study of the petroleum business during the year 1904. It is the first official statement of the operations and methods of the Standard Oil company, by which, the report states, through "scandalous railway discriminations" and other unlawful devices they have secured and maintained an "exclusive domination of the petroleum Industry- Interview With Harry Orchard. Harry Orchard, the prisoner wit ness at Boise, Idaho, upon whom the state of Idaho chiefly relies to prove its charge that an Inner circle of the Western Federation of Miners planned the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, denied duress or force was used to obtain the statements he made, and denied that Detective Mc Partland and state officers promised him immunity for his confession of crime or reward for the value of his alleged confession Orchard's manner and conversation tended strongly to confirm the assertion that he has been converted to Christianity. Submergence Records Broken. With all hands well and contented, with a bountiful supply of fresh air, and with records of submergence brok en, the submarines Octopus and Lake rose to the surface of Narragansett bay at i o'clock Thursday morning, ending a test of 24 hours under fater. The Octopus blew out foul air only twice during the 24 hours she was at the bottom of the bay. It was com puted that only l-45th of her air sup ply was exhausted. If these figures are correct they tend to show that the boat could remain submerged 45 days, provided the food and fuel supply was sufficient. Schwab's Steel School.

About 100 curious spectators and reporters were gathered In front of his residence at 11 o'clock when Mr. Hummel endeavored to depart for Blackwell's island without observa tion. An automobile had been standing at the curb for several hours. One of Mr. Hummers friends left the house and entering the machine was whliked away In It. The spectators followed It a short distance and returned to the house just as It drew up to the curb again. Thtn Hummel, holdlug a hand kerchief before his face to prevent a snap shot picture being taken of him, ran from the basement door, jumped Into the tonnenu and it dashed away. For about three hours ho took a ride around the city and then surren dered himself to a deputy sheriff, who took him by an unfrequented route to Blackwell's Island. Ho will be put to work In the bakery. Pierce Will Surrender. Austin, Tex., May 21. It Is reported that H. C. Pierce has advised his per sonal attorney, Judge J. D.
