Ruef pleads guilty in San Francisco graft trial
San Francisco May 16 Opening of the graft trial brought a plea of guilty from Ruef to extortion in a case arising from a $1,175 payment by Delmonico restaurant proprietors to obtain liquor permit in private rooms. The defense reportedly shifted from denial to confession after talks with the prosecution, amid graft rumors involving Mayor Schmitz and city officials. How Ruef’s admission affects the mayor’s position and broader immunity expectations is noted, while Calhoun of United Railroads remains unmoved by Schmitz disclosures. The mayor spent the day in his car at Gate Park and the beach, declining to comment on graft matters, with Ruef and others expressing skepticism about the confession. Meanwhile, Albany debates Oswego canal navigation with contractors protesting, and authorities order the canal opened between May 16 and November 15.
