Sylvester Suggested La1b.

About 4 year ago the Guatemalan
minister called on the State Department
officials and requested them 10 select a
director general of police for the Central
American country. Assistant Secretary
LOOMS referred the matter 10 Major
Sylvester. The Central Americans want
ed a man with military training and one
capable of learning their language I'm
few months. Major Sylvester decided
that Lamb was the very man for the
position and summoned the latter to his
office. Lamb accepted the position i'm
mediately, and within ten days after his
talk with Major Sylvester started for
Guatemala.

rs A COUNTY OFFICER
The basic rule on which Judge Sea-
wells decision was based is that the
District Attorney Is not an officer SUBJ
Ject to municipal supervision and pos
sible Intervention, but an officer de.
irving his authority and his powers
from the constitution and legislative
acts. The fact that the city and coun-
ty OF San Francisco are identical has
no bearing on the present case, for a
law applicable to the remaining coun-
ties or the State cannot be perverted
In single instance where political
boundaries happen to be identical IN
the case of the city and county.
The only points to which the con-
stitution does not apply in the case of
a District Attorney are in relation to
the length of his term of office. the
time of his election and the amount OF
his salary. His rights as a county Of
hcer are set forth in Section IL, Article
OF the constitution. Section 103 of
the political code also designates him
as county officer. On the other hand.
charter powers are expressed and moth
ing in addition to the powers stated
can be assumed. The Supreme Court
also decided before the adoption of the
charter that the District Attorney was
a county officer and this in case from
the city and county of San Francisco.
The case against the Board of Su-
pervisors on the alternative writ of
prohibition asked for by Langdon was
submitted to the court on briefs after
the arguments by Attorney John II.
Williams of the City and County At
torney's Office, in behalf of the board
and Hiram Johnson for Langdon
WILLIAMS ARGUES FOR BOARD
Williams asserted that thesproper ac-
tion for Langdon to have pursued
against the board was not by obtaining
writ of prohibition, but by notifying
the board of his belief that it had no
right to hear the charges against him
and informing 1t that he would secure
such a writ in case the attempt to try
the charges was carried out He also
argued that the board could not be re-
strained from hearing the charges, as

Ruef's BelJedere
Graft Under
Inquiry
Owners of Resort Are
Called to Explain
His EXtoTtiOn

Sitting the stories of how Abe Ruef
shook down the owners of the BeIve-
dere dance hall ON O'FarreH street for
a fourth of the earnings and stock, In
consideration of his guaranty to hold
1t immune from police interference, the
Grand Jury yesterday summoned Myr-
tile Cert, Jimmie Conroth, Eddie Gra-
ney, Harry Cohen, Captain T. e. ID.
Wilson, Attorney, Frank j. Burke,
Colonel Martin Brady and Architect
Matt O'Brien as witnesses to tell all
they knew about that resort md the
dispute that was started after the fire
over the money for which 1t was in
sured.
1t was Ruers attempt to secure a
fourth of this money through Cert that
is alleged to have led to the bringing
of this tenderloin resort into Prosecu-
tor Heney's graft investigation. Cap
tain Wilson, who is in the employ of
the Pacific Mail and was president of
the Belvedere Dance Hall Company, OBJ
jected to any of the money going to
Cert, claiming that the latter never
paid for the stock registered in his
name and declaring that, Ruef or no
one else would come in for share OF
what other mems pockets had to suffer
for. Wilson even went so Tar as to
declare that he would take trip to
Europe and put the affairs of the COM
pany in such a shape that the money
would be hopelessly tangled up If Ruef
was insistent in his demands.
NOT LIKE HAMMERsTEIN's
The Belvedere Dance Hall Company
was organized in April, 1904, and be-
gan business in July of the same year.
The original stockholders were Eddie
Graney, Jimmie Coffroth, the two
Schwartz brothers and Colonel Herbert
/. Choynski.
Choynski believed that the place was
to be like Hammersteins Olympia in
Aew York. When he found later that
this was not the case, he sold out his
fifth interest, which was bought by
Captain Wilson, who was then elected
president and signed all the checks.
Wilson now maintains that he knew
nothing about Ruef having any interest
in the place and will not explain salts
factorily why he protested against any
money being paid to MYRTLE Cert as
the 1atter's agent.
Cerf's name has been linked with
Ruefs in many confidential capacities.
1t was he who was appointed by Ruef
as secretary Of the Grand Jury that
the United Railroads after
a. Coroner's jury had held 1t to blame
for killing girl with a fenderless car.
He was also employed by Hilbert Bros,
the whisky firm of which Mayor
Schmitz is accused of being a silent
partner, and was an accountant and
adviser of a half dozen or more ten
derloin resorts. He sold liquor to
Pratt & Tierney's place, ana au-
dited their books, He also kept tab on
