Gallagher Is Not
Decided as to
Langdon.

When Mayor Gallagher was asked
last night if there was any truth in the
report that he is contemplating the re-
moval of Langdon, he replied, after
some hesitation:
NO, have not decided yet to do
that"
.'WiH you say that you will not take
such action?' he was asked.
No he replied; Il will not say that.
I have not determined what I will do"
''Will you say If you have had the
matter under serious. contemplation"
he was further asked.
Il will not discuss that matter.
can't talk on those matters in that way.
People come to me for information on
similar things, but it VIII not do for
me to discuss them until something is
done"
Would you mind saying, Mayor, if
it is in your power to remove him?'
was another question put to him.
1T is not in my power to remove
him. 1t is the Board of Supervisors
who have that power"
Then if you should want him re-
moved, all you would do would be to
recommend to the Board of Supervis-
ors that they remove him2 That would
be the method. would il not?'
Yes. II / should want him removed
I would simply ask the board to do it,"
was his final statement.
When asked for his opinion on the
Heney investigation. Gallagher said:
1T is the same old story. The Grand
Jury has made Investigation time and
again. I believe the Grand Jury should
always perform it's whole duty and
should investigate whatever it decides
should need an investigation
There is nothing more reprehensible
than that the Grand Jury should lend
itself to work for political ends /
don't think, however, that this Grand
Jury will do such a thing. But 1t has
not yet been organized, and Ii is not
well TO tell a Grand Jury in advance
what il should do.
There will be no effort on my part
TO tell the Grand Jury what to do.

Ruef's Friends on
Jury Can Be Of
No Avail.

The new Grand Jury before which
'the evidence will be presented for the
Indictment of Abe Ruef, the Supervis-
ors and other officials who have been
caught in the dragnet of Special As
sistant District Attorney Heney and
Detective Burns will be drawn in the
court of Presiding Judge Graham this
afternoon from the thirty names that
were selected a few days ago. Much
interest attends the result. for the ad-
ministration men had not overlooked
the placing of friends on the jury roll
on whom they might rely to protect
them from the onslaught of Heney
Heney and Burns have been fully
aware of the difficulties that would
confront them in the personnel of the
Grand Jury. In the body that has just
been dissolved the secretary, MYRTLE
Cert, was notoriously affiliated with
Schnitz and Ruef and was their scout
ing agent in the Hilbert whisky en-
terprise. The friends of the admins
tration predominated in the inquisi-
torial body, and 1t would have been
worse than folly to have attempted to
expose corruption before 1t.
The same conditions prevail in large
measure among the thirty names from
which the jury will be drawn today.
But so strong do Heney and Burns re-
gard the cases they have to present
that they believe no man with fair
degree of common sense will dare to
vote against indictments. The confes-
sfons they have to offer, besides other
clinching evidence, are of such an
overwhelming character that even the
man that desires to befriend Ruef and
Schmitz viii not jeopardize himself
by standing out in dishonest obstruc-
tion of the law.
Judge Graham has promised that
there shall be no undue influences ex-
erted on the Grand Jury by the gang
sters, for which assurance he has
gained the bitter enmity of Ruef. It
was the "unfriendly' attitude that
Judge LawIor exhibited toward the
administration when the Andrews
Grand Jury served under him that
brought down the everlasting hatred
of Ruef on his head, and Judge Graham
is now held in similar regard.
But the fact remains that so far as
the presiding Judge is concerned Heney
will have no difficulty in furthering the
ends of justice. The prosecutor has
been careful to gain a position where
he can thwart any effort to tamper
with the jury and deal radically with
any emissaries the administration may
have in the body.
Following is the list of thirty citi-
zens from which the Grand Jury will
be selected:
r. E. Miller, B. P Oliver, Herbert E.
Law, T. B. Morton, George /. Dealey,
Arthur S. Towne, Josiah r. Howell, E.

shall not attempt to control it in any
way
Do you mean to say. Mayor. that the
investigation that is to be conducted
is simply political movement" he
was asked.
No, l am not prepared to say that
he replied. Il can't say anything about
the matter in that regard. 1 don't
know what has prompted the investiga-
tfon, and, further, don't care to dis
cuss the matter at ALL"
SO far as your personal observation
is concerned, have you any reason to
believe that there is any graft in any
of the municipal Departmental" was the
next Interrogation.
Il know of nothing to indicate that
graft exists. If l have seen it, have
at once eliminated it," was his answer.
When asked If he thought it possible
that Mayor Schmitz would not return,
the acting head of the city government
replied that there could be no doubt
about his return. At the close of the
interview he suggested that It was
strange that the investigation should
be instituted on the eve of an i'm
portant election.

Ruef Also Wants
to Send Some
One to Jail.

"I am through talking and from now
on deeds will count and not words. "
Such was the only statement A. Ruef
had to make TO The Call last night. The
attorney was in his Office at late hour.
the center of feverish activity, but
silent as to defense.
Ruef has announced that he has some
prosecutions of his own in contempIa-
tion to meet the attacks upon him, but
he refused positively to discuss his
plans.
Il am here to meet my accusers," he
said, "and shall not run away. It is
true that had been thinking of taking
trip abroad, but am not going away
at this time
The administration boss denies that
he has been in communication with
Mayor Schmitz, asserting positively
that he does not know where the city's
chief executive is just at the present
time. SchmitZ landed in Queenstown
last Thursday and proceeded to Dublin,
from which place he sent cablegram
to his children, who are at his home
in this city, under the care of his wife's
sister, Miss DriscoIl.
Ruef reiterated that he did not ex-
pect to be in communication with the
Mayor until the latter reaches Ham
burg, Germany, that being the only
cable address he has
I shall cable him a statement of the
slanderous charges that are being made
here against him." said Ruef, and he
can decide for himself what he will
do. I don't see that he has to come
back SO far as these lying, contemp-
fble prosecutors are concerned, the
Mayor can go on and enjoy himself
and come home when he sees fft''
Ruef promises to do something
startling in the way of retaliation
within a day or two. He declares that
he is not on the offensive, but on the
aggressive, to expose and punish the
'fdefamers of the character of honest
men"
Last night his office was deep in
work. Men crowded the side rooms.
They came and went in steady process
sion. Messengers were rushing to and
fro, and a fast automobile was in
service outside.
The personnel of the Grand Jury is
Ruef's chief concern at the present
time. He contends that Heney and 9TH
ers who are after him have been ex-
erting undue influence on the thirty men
from whom the nineteen will be Sc
lected today for the fnquisitorial body
The efforts of last night were directed
chiefly to countering these exertions
But, aside from declaring that some
thing would soon drop" that would
check the mad efforts of those who
would destroy him, Ruef had nothing
to say of the accusations that are now
hanging so seriously over his head.

OBTAINING Accused Mine Manager
AS He Is About to Sail.

SEATTLE. Oct. 23.-Reports brought
to Seattle by persons arriving from

and been the means of retarding its
development materially.

witnesses on similar charges.

TO INSPECT STEAMSHIPS
IN HAWAIIAN WATERS

Captains Bolles and Bulger, Federal
inspectors of Steamships, who arrived
yesterday from San Francisco on the
Alameda, will shortly open offices, pos
sibly in the Young Building, where they
viii receive applications for examina-
ton of steamships, as well as of mas,
tiers, mates, engineers, and other per-
sons engaged in the business of nav1-
cation.
The two Federal officers were ordered
to Honolulu by the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor to make a special sur
vey of all the steam vessels engaged in
island traffic. The inspection at this
time, while it is the annual inspection,
is at the same time a little out of the
ordinary, according to one of the cap
tains, for the reason that this section is
attached to the Alaska district presid-
ed over by inspectors duly assigned to
that division. Captains Bolles and Bull
ger are from San Francisco. They are
ordered to make a very thorough sur
vey of vessels here and report at an
early date to Washington.
The inspectors, finishing with this
port, will go to Kahului and Hilo and
any other ports where their presence is
necessary.
All masters, mates, engineers and
others are to be examined as to their
competency to engage in their respec-
tive positions or to receive papers en-
titling them to go higher.
Both inspectors have no end of praise
for the seamanship displayed by Cap.
tain Dowden of the Alameda during
the very rough trip ended yesterday.
Captains Bolles and Bulger are the Off
GERS who investigated Captain Dowdell,
the pilot and others connected with the
wrecking of the Alameda off Fort Point
last fall They exonerated Captain
Dowdell and held the pilot responsible.
That the two inspectors should travel
on the Alameda is looked upon as a com
pliment to the ability of Captain Dow
