ARGUMENT TO-DAY

Frank French. expelled from the
Senate of the State for the crime OF
accepting a bribe and awaiting trial
before the Superior Court for that Of
fense. spent yesterday afternoon in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Ed Reese
of Sacramento. while making des-
perate search to get bondsmen.
After the attempt of the Deputy
Sheriff to take French to Sacramento
last night had been foiled by French
attorney, George D. Collins, who got
writ of habeas corpus, French spent
the night in the branch County Jail
No. on Broadway.
The writ of habeas corpus was issued
yesterday afternoon by Judge Lawlor
on the petition of Collins. who main
tanned that his client was able to fur
nish bail and need not proceed to Sac
ramento to have new bail bonds ac-
cepted. Collins made the claim that
the bonds being issued here could be
accepted here by any Superior Judge.
and that his client should be released
from custody Immediately upon their
acceptance.
The story of the withdrawal of J.
w. Wilson, the Sacramento bondsman
of the accused ex-senator, was told
exclusively in yesterdays Call. Word
had been conveyed to Wilson that
French was quietly disposing of his
property and Wilson's investigations
proved such to be the case He i'm
mediately notified the Sacramento au-
thorities Of his desire to withdraw,
whereupon Superior Judge Hart of the
Capital city issued a warrant for the
arrest of Frank French. Deputy Ed
Reese was sent to this city to serve it.
On the way hither the deputy by
accident met the District Attorney of
Sacramento, Arthur Seymour, and told
him of his mission to San Francisco.
Seymour, who was coming to attend
to some private business, Immediately
warned Reese that he was approaching
a hornets nest and told the Deputy
to call upon him If aid was needed.
DEPUTY REESE'S TROUBLES.
SeymouSs prophecy was fulfilled In
Deputy Sheriff was guarding French
in his tour of the town the prisoners
attorney was busy getting a writ of
habeas corpus that forced the Deputy
Sheriff to miss the afternoon train go
ing to Sacramento and caused French
to become an inmate of the branch
County Jail instead of the Sacramento
prison.
Upon his arrival in San Francisco
Reese began his hunt for French. He
rang up the accused politician at his
house at 230 Duncan street several
! times. but was repeatedly told that
the quarry was not at home. After
ringing up yesterday morning he was
told that French would be home about
noon.
Yesterday noon Reese made a visit
to the French home. Mrs. French an
s-rered the bell and hardly had the
deputy finished asking for the former
Senator when French arrived at the
house. The two men held a short con-
versation and the Deputy departed.
French entered the house, ate his
lunch. made a change of clothing and
left.
Before going away he told Mrs
French that he was going to the Office
! of lis attorney and that If he did not
return by in the evening she might
know he had left for Sacramento.
French made an agreement to meet

FORMER SENATOR FRENCH
IS IN BROADWAY JAIL WHILE
LAWYERS ARGUE OVER BAIL

Frank French, expelled
from the Senate for ac-
cepting a bribe, was ar
rested yesterday by Dep
uty Sheriff Reese of Sac
ramento County, owing
to the withdrawal of a
bondsman. As Reese
was taking his prisoner
to the train, a clerk in the
office of French's at
torney, George d. Col
Inns, served the officer
with a writ of habeas
corpus. Reese took
French before Judge
Lawlor last night. Col
lins maintained that the
prisoner should not be
taken to Sacramento.
Judge Lawlor postponed
the hearing until noon
to-day.

SACRAMENTO, May 12.-District
Attorney Arthur NJ. Seymour arrived
in Sacramento on a late train tonight
To a Call correspondent he said he
would return to San Francisco before
daybreak in order to be present at the
court proceedings in French's case to-
morrow. Seymour was very indignant
at the actions of Attorney Collins. He
said early this afternoon that Collins
had asked him to remain for a habeas
corpus hearing. but Seymour told him
he was not there for that purpose and
he thought such action would be un-
fair. He Immediately sought Deputy
Reese and warned him to bring
French to Sacramento by the earliest
train possible He supposed Reese
would do so and came away Seymour
said he would fight the application to
a finish in the morning

CINCINNATI, Nov. 6-NOt in years
have Ohio politicians been so complete
Iy at sea as this year, nor SO chary OF
giving signed estimates OF next Tues
days results.
The campaign opened with an effort
on the part of the Democrats TO catch
the temperance vote. and Herrick has
been heralded as the ally of the llquor
interests. Pattison has caught the tenn
perance vote. but II is figured that the
LIQUOR and German vote. which moved
over solidly to the Republicans, has

There are. aside from the futile at
tempt OF the Republicans 10 drag in

question. one IS that Herrick is the
creature Of Boss Cox, the other that
Pattison, who is president of the Cen
traI Union Life Insurance Company. is

and their fellows.
The real question is that Of bossism.
Though Herrick denies that he is Cox's
creature, the reiterated charge that he
is, and the odtum which has been
thrown upon Cox and his Cincinnati
machine, are costing Herrick thOuS-
ands Of votes But even money Is yet

A New Preparation Which Everyone

Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common

and they viii right themselves. Cathar-
ties irritate the sensitive Innings of the
s,omach and bowels and often do more
harm than good.
Purgfng is not what is needed. The
thing TO DO IS to put the food in con-

do this perfectly They partly digest

diture of more than 100000. In collect
ing the subjects he has taken twenty
one trips abroad and visited all parts

The halls. though never a success
financially. were always appreciated by
those interested IN history. and since
they We're established seven years ago

by classes of the public schools.
Dr. Smith said that he hopes Congress
will purchase the property and make II
