the charges Of gigantic grating by
public officials and political bosses in
this city
Two days ago IL was reported that
Gallagher would take such action. and
the press has been speculating whether
or not he would have the boldness to
take such a step, particularly as con-
siderable newspaper criticism had been
directed against himself as a SUPER
visor.
Mayor Schmitz, who Is serving his
tnlru term as mayor, having been
elected by the Union Labor party Is
now in Europe on a sixty day leave of
absence and Supervisor Gala CHER is
acting in his stead.
1t is conceded everywhere that the
suspension Of District Attorney Lang
don is made solely for the purpose of
getting rid Of Heney.
For the past few months Henev. act
ing for the citizens committee, has
been investigating the charges Of Of
tlclal boodling and has been assisted
oy a corps of private detectives in
charge of William J. Burns, the noted
FEDERAL secret service agent who had
secured permission from his federal SUI
periors to engage in the work of pur-
flying San Francisco's official affairs.

tomorrow and Heney had announced
that he would at once go before it with
evidence that would secure the indict-
ment of a number of men high in pub
lie life.
1t was stated that a great mass of
evidence had been secured pointing to
criminal acts among officials and in

Action GANG as surprise

/ While It was known that the admin
istration was considering the removal
of District Attorney Langdon from Of
flee as bold counter stroke to the ap-
pointment of Heney, only a few of the
politicians were aware that Mayor
allagher had determined to take this
action today.
Today was the day for the regular
weekly meeting of the board of super
Visors. The usual hour for the ses-
sion is 3 o'clock. 1t was 6 O'Clock this
evening before the board. which had
evidently been informed of Mayor Gal
Iaghers intention, met Fifteen of the
eighteen supervisors were present.
Supervisors Rea and Furey being abb
sent as we'll as Duffy who was recent
ly appointed to the board of works.
Mayor Gallagher entered the room at
$3.50 and was Immediately surrounded
at the door by the members Of the
board brief conference was held
in subdued tones for five minutes.
The supervisors then took their seats
and after some unimportant routine
business had been tranacted, Mayor
Gallagher arose, announced the sus-
pension Of Langdon and instructed the
clerk to read the charges and specitt-
cations as set forth by the mayor
When these were read Supervisor
Sanderson made a motion that the
mayors suspension of the district at
torney be approved by the board and
that Langdon be ordered to appear be-
fore the supervisors next Thursday ana
answer to charges.
Appoints "Frlend Ruef"
The motion was adopted by the
board There was no roll call. Hav-
ing had his action in suspending the
district attorney approved by the
supervisors. Mayor Gallagher then in
formed the board that he had asked
( his friend, A. Ruef, to temporarily oc-
! cupy the office of district attorney and
that Ruef had accepted the appoint
ment
/ 1t was evident, from the expression
| of their faces. that this move was not
| looked for and that the supervisors
were amazed at the mayors bold step
When the meeting adjourned Mayor
Gallagher was asked whether Ruef hao

cepting the appointment of district at

recently made that he was one of the
principal parties against whom the in
vestigation was directed.

Asked IL he had anything to say
regarding the removal of Langdon, the
mayor said that his action and the
charges against the district attorney
spoke for themselves.

Suddenly Acquire Riches

A score of men who came into pub
lie life through the recent political up
heavals, who were poor in purse, have
recently been exhibiting signs of wealth
In the way of handsome homes, costly
business places and lavish expenditure
of money. Heney has declared he has
obtained knowledge of how these sud-
denly acquired riches were obtained. 1t
has been openly charged that many
saloons, criminal classes, disorderly
houses, ETC. were severely taxed to be
allowed to flourish in peace.
The board of public works is also
being accused by taxpayers and news
papers with levying tribute in all di-
rections.
This board has almost absolute con-
troll of the construction of buildings,
and it is alleged illegally taxed con-
tractors and house owners before al
lowing the erection of new edifices.
One newspaper has been constantly
insisting that 100000 has been paid by
a street railway company for certain
important privileges and declared that
it could furnish proofs to an honest
grand jury.
This was one of the things to be pre-
sented to the new grand jury.
Coupled with many of these insnua-
tions, rumors and accusations is the
name of Abraham Ruef, the acknowl-
edged boss of the politics of San
Francisco and commonly known as
ABE" Ruef.

Ruef a Man Of Ability


He is a lawyer and 1t is he who has
been appointed by the acting mayor to
the position of district attorney.
Ruef is acknowledged to be man
of rare ability, learned in his profess
sion, and a ski1lful politician.
He is credited with having become
very wealthy within the past few years.
When Schmitz was first elected mayor
he publicly announced that he attlib-
uted much of his success to his
friend" Ruef. and ever since has been
on acknowledged intimate relations
with the political leader.
Ruef has often been termed the power
and guiding hand behind the municipal
throne,
Acting Mayor Gallagher this even
ming at the meeting of the board of
supervisors read long statement Civ
ing twelve reasons for suspending
Langdon.
Among them were neglect of duty,
ineff1ciency, and absence from the
county for more than thirty days to
campaign the state as candidate for
governor on the Independence league
ticket
Langdon tonight is to speak at Wood
land, Yolo county.
1t Is believed that injunction proceed
ings will be instituted tomorrow to
prevent the supervisors from removing
him from Office.

Paducah does not want a mayor
for whom Office hours have to be pre-
scribed, and the general council does
well to withdraw the school boy rule
that confines the executive to his Of
flee chair. We believe in proper re-
strictions on the conduct of every
public Office, but not on the personal
liberties of the incumbent. The
mayor is directly responsible to the
people for the execution of his trust
and fixing his working hours will not
improve his administration. We favor
giving the executive the fullest meas
ure of discretion and then pinning the
responsibility to him. and we know
that is exactly what our Democratic
"Uncle David" Yeiser would like.

There is a chance to win. The action
