ber 2s with your sanction and ex-
pressed CONSENT?
1T was replied Langdon.
Prior to October 26 were the law
firm of Heney & Cobb and Hiram w
Johnson in your employ?"
'On October 26 they were"
But not prior?
Ach then endeavored to show that
the complaint had been filed at 5
o'clock in the morning. and that Lang
don did not reach San Francisco from
Woodland until three hours .later.
Ach asked Langdon if he had been
informed as 10 the suit Immediately
upon his arrival. At this point John
instructed Langdon to decline to an
swer.
Were you at that time aware of the
restraining order against Mr.. r. ?''
(Ruef) asked Ach.
Again Johnson objected and Langdon
refused to answer.
when did you first hear of the suit?"
persisted Ach.
Again came the objection and the re-
fusal to answer.
Il suggest that you take up some
other issue" said johnson
Mr.. Langdon, do you know that the
restraining order was fled before the
complaint" queried Ach:
Answer was withheld as before.
Prior to your arrival in San Fran
cisco on October 26 had You instructed
any one to commence suit?" asked Ach.
The same objection was made ard no
answer given
20 you know that the restraining
order was signed at o'clock in the
morning and the summons not issued
until after o'clock queried Ach.
Johnson hereupon threatened to leave
the room If Ach persisted along these
lines.
Ruef's attorney continued and John
son and Langdon departed, Johnson
stating as he left that Aeh's purpose
was clearly for delay
Ach turned to the notary and said:
You Will please take note of the de-
parture OF the witness from the room
without being excused therefrom."
Ruefs attorneys then proceeded to
complete the record, claiming that they
had sufficient grounds to have Johnson
and Langdon cited for contempt
Later in the afternoon this threat TO
bring action against Langdon for con-
tempt of court was carried out by Ruef,
who. on the strength of several aff-
davits concerning the action before No
tary Knox. secured from Judge Seawe11
an order for Langdon to appear at 10
O'Clock Friday morning TO show cause
why he should not be adjudged in con-
tempt of court.
The affidavits fled by Ruef contain
the transcript of proceedings before the
notary, and the sworn statements of
himself, Notary Knox and the latter's
clerk to the effect that Eangdon refused
to answer questions relevant to the
proceedings at Franklin Hall and that
he left the room before the conclusion
of the proceedings and before being
dismissed by Notary Knox.
The papers were hurriedly drawn up
and the matter taken at once before
Judge Seawell, with the result that the
order to show cause. returnable Friday
morning. was issued and filed before
the closing of the County Clerks office
in the afternoon.

Dr. PrERcE's REMEDIES.
The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DR.. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, n. Y. has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines IN q class all bs Themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why SO many unpreiudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them TO
their patients. They know what they
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great STOMACH tonic. liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier. nor his
~Favorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
70 q place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, Of proper
strength. is a better solvent and preserv-
ative OF the medicinal nrinciples resid-
ing In our Indigenous ssttVe, medi-
cinal plants than is aicoI :, and. further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties Of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient
antiferment.
Neither Of the above medicines con-
tains a~c0hol, or anv harmful, habit
forming drug, as viii be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent TO cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, bet
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think Of using
the ordinary patent. or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering fAto the COM
position Of DR.. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writer's of the
several schools Of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. Constipation is the cause of
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One Pellet is gentle
laxative and two mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them. and nothing is 0just as
good" Easy TO take as candy.
The San Francisco call., 1906-11-01

Mr.. Heney was satisfied with Mr..
Towne."
= might have been. but perhaps you
will remember that challenged him
myself"
Heney then read citations from the
decision of the late Judge Hawley in
the case of. the United States against
Jones, and from the decision of the
Court of Appeals in the California case
against the Market-street Railroad, in
which Matt Sullivan appeared as at
torney, to the effect that a court should
not permit proceeding to be hazarded
by allowing any man to sit on Grand
Jury who might be disqualified; that
the Judge was to show even more eau
ton in the matter than the law re-
quired, and that it even might receive
suggestions from an amicus curiae in
the matter, as neither the State nor the
defendant could afterward complain so
long as. the Indictment was brought by
an impartial Grand Jury.
Shortridge then began long speech.
the purport of which was that he would
insist that the language OF the code in
referring to the last assessment roll
meant the assessment roll which was
the last when the names of the jury
men were placed in the box. which in
this instance was in January. and not
that which is the last assessment rolf
when the jurors We're drawn.
Heney's contention is that these
sections of the code all refer to the
status of the juryman at the time
he is returned, and he interrupted
Shortridge from tine to time with
queries along this line:
Suppose he was qualified in January
and convicted of felony in March?"
Suppose he was not a citizen in
January and was naturalized before he
was drawn?"
suppose he died in the meantime?'' p
These are academic questions" Ia
mented Shortridge.
/. During Shortridge's dissertations one
man went to sleep and snored so loudly
that he had to be wakened by a bailif.
Ruef lost interest and read an evenin G
paper, and seemed to be greatly amused
at the articles in which his name ap-
peared in the headlines. Finally the
audience made break for the door.
and were only restrained from leaving
in a body by Big Bill Kennedy, the
bailiff.
Shortridge was still talking when the
Judge adjourned court till today at .
o'clock.

Drumhead rial of
Charges Stopped.


The proposed action by the Board of
Supervisors to complete the farce of
ousting District Attorney Langdon
from Office through the medium of a
drumhead hearing of the charges filed
against him Thursday night by act
ing Mayor James L. Gallagher, was eff
fectually stopped. for the time at least,
by the granting yesterday afternoon
by Judge Seaweu of an alternative
writ of prohibition commanding the
Board of Supervisors to refrain from
any further proceeding in the matter
of such charges
The writ of prohibition was issued
at once from the office of the clerk of
courts and copy was served last night
on Supervisor Daniel G. Coleman, while
he was presiding over the meeting of
the board, and similar service made
shortly afterward on the other MEM
bers of the body.
In view of the order Ruef stated last
night that he would notify the Super
visors to take no action on the mat
ter Of the charges at the session this
afternoon. for which time thoS hearing
of Gallagher's allegations against
Langdon was set. Consequently the
Investigation" which was to have re-
suited in a ratification of the edict of
the boss that Langdon be removed, will
not be carried out In the face of the
writ of prohibition, which is not re-
turnable until November 8, no action
can be taken by the board on the mat
ter of the charges and they will be
quietly dropped this afternoon without
discussion.
The petition for the alternative writ
of prohibition was drawn up in the Of
fees Of Attorney Hiram w. Johnson
who worked in conjunction with
Assistant District Attorneys Heney
and R.fAV. Harrison and Attornev CJbb
and was signed by Langdon. 1t re-
cites the charges made against Lang
don by Gallagher and alleges that the
board has announced its intention, re-
gardless of any evidence to be pre-
sented, of removing Langdon from of
fee, and this without jurisdiction. II
also sets forth that the section of the
charter under which the defendants
claim TO be acting is unconstitutional
invalid and void insofar as it relates
to the petitioner
On the presentation of the petition
in Judge Seawell's court the order was
made commanding the defendants to
refrain from. any action whatever con-
cerning the trial of the charges or in
respect to the removal of Langdon OF
the conduct of the office of District
Attorney. The writ is returnable No
vember 3, when the defendants are or
dered to appear in court and show
cause why the alternative writ should
not be made absolute and peremptory

PERSISTS IN QUESTIONS.

When Ach persisted Johnson said:
IF the examination continues on
such lines the deposition viii cease
and we will leave the ROOM
Ach persisted along the same line.
"One more question like that, Mr..
Ach, and we will leave the room" said
Johnson.
Mr.. Langdon. are you familiar with
the allegations contained in the com
plaint?' asked Ach fatty.
Johnson was on his feet in an in
slant.
That will be ALL he said. I'VE shall
leave the room' and thereupon he de-
parted, and with him went his assist
ants at the bar, Langdon and their
clerks.
The proceedings began at 10 o'clock.
The services of George Knox. who has
been a notary in San Francisco since
1858, had been secured. Hiram John
son and Charles w. Cobb, the latter
partner of Heney, appeared for Lang
don. Heney was not In court. For
Ruef appeared Henry Ach and Samuel
M. Shortr1dge, although Shortridge
took no active part In the proceedings.
Half dozen other attorneys were
present. A small coterie of reporters
and camera men and a few law clerks
made up the rest of the audience.
which occupied one corner of the big
assembly room.

Langdon and Attorneys
Leave Injunction
Proceedings.

The hearing in Franklin Hall on
Gilmore street before Notary George
Knox yesterday morning, to which
Langdon had been summoned by Ruef's
attorneys to make deposition in con-
nection with the injunction suit pend
ing before Judge Graham, began with
love feast and ended fifteen minutes
later in a squabble which abruptly
terminated the proceedings. Attorney
Hiram Johnson. acting for Ian ngdon,
objected, to the line of questioning
adopted by Ach. acting for Ruef, and
after instructing Langdon not to an
swer the queries leveled at him, an
nounced that he would \ submit no
longer to Achs tactics and left the
room followed by his client
For a moment there was an awk-
ward pause. Then Ach proceeded to
read an affidavit of Ruef into the
record in order that he might go be-
fore Judge Seawell and ask to have
Johnson and Langdon cited for con-
tempt
The climax came as decided sur
who had gathered in the large hall.
Ach had been endeavoring to bring
out the point that the complaint on
which the order restraining Ruef from
assuming the office of District Attor-
ney was based had been drawn up
without Langdon's knowledge, and that
therefore Langdon was not cognizant
of the facts. Langdon on advice of
counsel had refused to answer any
questions bearing on this point.

RUFF IN .JoyIAE MOOD.

Ruef was in an unusually jovial
mood. Z He had a smile and a word
of good cheer for the newspaper men
and even for the attorneys of the op
position
Just before the proceedings opened
Ruef turned to Langdon and said:
why don't you end all this trouble,
Langdon, and get out of office?"
Langdon,s reply was a smile.
Then a photographer endeavored to
pose Ruef for snap.
Snap Langdon instead" said Ruef;
he'd make a. bette picture. and. be-
sides" he added. You wouldn't print
my picture.
Well, well fool lsyou tomorrow morn
ing, said the camera artist, by print
Ing it,
.I'll just get ahead of you one day
said Ruef "I'll fool you this morn
ing by not posing. But later he re-
Tented and did pose.
Ruef's high spirits were explained
by the absence of Heney, from court.
Ruef generally has his argumentative
fists up ready for a fight when Heney
is present Heney has habit of turn
ing a smile upon the boss, which is
obviously irritating.
At the very opening of the proceed
ings an exception was taken by At
torney Cobb in behalf of Langdon, on
the ground That utiiCltHl tiiEo udO hot
been allowed for preparation for the
deposition.
Ach then called upon Langdon for a
brief autobiography. Langdon gave
his age as SO, and Shortridge looked
incredulous and leaned over and
whispered to the reporters that looks
were deceiving.

said.
