trjct Attorney Langdon in the dis
charge OF his duties nor proceed to
a hearing of the charges brought
against him by Supervisor Gallagher
on October 25 of last year. when the
farce of suspending him and appoint
ing Abe Ruef to the Office was under
taken, was made absolute and per-
emptory yesterday Dy Judge Seawel
An agreed statement of facts drawn
by Attorney c. w. Cobb, representing
Langdon, and Assistant City Attorney
A. S. Newburgh. representing the Board
Of Supervisors, was filed in open court
yesterday, and IT was on this that the
Judgment was based. The statement
recites the developments leading up
10 the farcicsl suspension of Langdon
and appointment of Ruef the granting
Of the alternative writ of prohibition
and the intention OF the Board of Su-
pervisors to continue with the hearing
of the charges against Langdon-
The holding of the court is to the
effect that Gallagher, as acting Mayor,
had no right to suspend Langdon OF
prefer charges against him and that
Lsngdon's Office is entirely without the
jurisdiction Of the municipal authori-
ties The decision is to be made the
basis Of an appeal TO the Supreme
Court. where some new contentious will
arise. In case the judgment OF the Su-
perior Court Is sustained, IL VIII be
claimed that the holding is in effect an
admission that the District Attorney
is strictly a county officer. and an ef-
fort will be made TO take away from
him the power Of appointing Police

CRAFT STORY DENIED
Burns Says That Report of the Trapped
Supervisors Is False

Supervisors Is False
The report published by a morning
paper that Supervisors Lonergan and
Roxton had been trapped by Assistant
District Attorney Heney and Special
Agent Burns was denied yesterday by
Heney and Burns and the two Super
visors named. The article said that
through the agency Of g. NJ Roy, a
former friend Of the administration, a
bribe of $500 was passed to each OF
the two Supervisors while agents OF
the graft prosecutors looked on. II
was set forth that Roy had cooper
ated with Heney and Burns and had
assisted them in an effort to force from
the two city officials a confession OF
wrongdoing.
In denying the story, Burns said
that rumors nad been circulated for
some time 10 the effect that the two
Supervisors had been trapped, but that
the reports were without an element
of truth.
This story is Ridiculous" said Burns.
TT is an old report which has no foun-
dation. Where 1t started / do not
know, but there is no truth In II.
Some one has simply rugged up story
and has passed IL along"
Heney dismissed the entire matter
with the words "Ali rot"
Supervisor Boxton added his denial
to those of the graft prosecutors.
Supervisor Lonergan said last night
1T is an absolute and unqualified false
hood from start TO finish. and made out
Of whole cloth. I do not know where
IL emanated from, unless it was
evolved in q reporters Imagination"
Roy added his denial 10 those Of the
others who were supposed TO have par
Licipated in the transaction.

JAPANESE PUPILS ENTER
THE REDD|NG PRIMARY

Nine slant-eyed, yellow-skinned chill
dren applied at the Redding primary
School in Pine street, between POLK ana
Larkin, yesterday morning for permls-
sion to study their lessons among the
white children.
Five, being Koreans, were denied; the
other four, being Japanese, were re-
ceived by Miss Dean, the principal. IL
was not so ceremonious an affair as
was the incident of several weeks ago
at the same school, when Miss Dean
formally refused to admit the japanese
boy Aoki. The latter did not apply
for admission yesterday. The japanese
enrolled were four little girls, all under
the age of eight years.
The Koreans will be compelled to at
tend the Oriental school. The Board
OF Education ruled on that point yes
terday, instructing Miss Dean to notify
the parents of Dorothy Moon, Matte
Kim. Corea Chang, Susan Kim and
Mallynn Kim that they would be ex-
pected to apply at the Oriental instl-
tuition for permission to enter their
offspring in the public schools.
President Lawrence F. Walsh of the
board received the following telegram
from the President of the United States
yesterday morning:
white House, Washington, March IA.
by the news. Have notified Mr.. Devlin
that suit will be discontinued and the
immigration order will be Immediately
issued THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Walsh pointed gleefully to the last
statement in the Presidents telegram.
Roosevelt's promise to use his discre-
tion in barring out Japanese is the
main hope of the Schmitz administra-
tiOn now.
United States District Attorney Dew
lin dismissed the case of Aoki against
the Board of Education yesterday
afternoon.
immigration Commissioner North
said that he had not received any in
structions from Washington as to
whether he should refuse landing at
this port to Japanese laborers coming
from Honolulu. None are expected un-
til the arrival of the Alameda, which
is due here March 26.
While the" admissions of Japanese
were few yesterday, the first day after
the cancellation of the boards famous
order barring all Japanese from the
white schools it is expected that with
in the next week most of the Japanese
children in the city will take advantage
of the open school door and the pro-
lection afforded them by the big stick.

WORKING FOR CONFERENCE
Railway Chiefs Anxious TO Consult
President on Present Conditions

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Iniuences
are clearly working to postpone the
much discussed conference between
President Roosevelt and heads OF great
railway systems, about which so many
financial castles in the air have been
building.
The announcement made today by
James McCrea, president OF the Penn
sylvania Railway, that after meeting
of the directors of that road 1t had
been decided that he should not go TO
the White House unless invited by the
President" was the first intimation that
there was any hitch in the programme
which had been arranged by J. Pier
pont Morgan on the eve of his depart
ure for Europe.
President Mellen of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford road has al
ready said he would go to the confer
ence President Newman of the New
York Central has said he would at
tend and has intimated that the limi-
tation of stock issues might be good
thing for present securities. President
Hughitt of the Chicago and North
western road is known to be In SYM
pathy with the efforts of the President
to prevent watering of stock.
But the conference hangs fire. No one
in the White House appears to know
anything about IL, and nnanclal CenterS
have been busy all day inventing ru-
mors of a visit to Washington by Ed
ward H. Hartman tomorrow. of a con-
ference of railroad men in Washington
tonight to map out a programme, and
of an abandonment of the proposed
conference.
For more than forty-eight hours the
White House and Treasury Department
have been flooded with appeals for
President Roosevelt and Secretary Cor
telyou to take some action to avert the
Threatened disaster" in the financial
and railroad world. 1t can be stated
authoritatively, however. that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not change his at
titude toward the railroads, though 1t
is admitted that the administration has
no intention of entering on any ex-
tremely radical attack on the railway
corporations. While it is known that
the visit of ]. Pierpont Morgan to the
White House last Monday night to in
duce the President to issue a reassur-
ing statement to the country in regard
to the administration attitude toward
the railroads and the apparent failure
of the financier's appeal has had much
to do with the panicky conditions that
swept over Wall street today, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has repeatedly said that
he was not an enemy Of the railroads.
and that those that obey the laws have
nothing to fear from the Government.

PREVENTS HEAVY WITHDRAWALS
Secretary Cortelyou Takes Additional
Steps to Ease Financial Strain

Secretary Cortelyou Takes Additional
Steps TO Ease Financial Strain
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE order
issued by Secretary Cortelyou yester-
day, followed by an order today, pre-
vents the withdrawal OF large sums
belonging to the Government and pro-
vides the way for the use of addi-
tional funds in Wall street. The first
order put a quietus on the rumor that
the treasury was to Immediately with
draw the additional deposits put in the
banks last October, amounting to $780,
100000 Today Cortelyou issued an or
der that the s1S.000,000 of additional
currency taken out by the national
banks could be held by them without
substituting Federal for the State and
other bonds with which ii is now Sc
cured. This, it is pointed out. will
prevent a sharp demand for Govern
ment bonds for deposit security.
Another step. which will put about
s1OOO,OOO a day into circulation is the
deposit OF customs receipts in the de-
positaries, as provided under the new
currency act.
The Secretary also has notified bond
holders that he will redeem, with in
terest to July 1, when they will mature,
any bonds of the 4 per cent funded loan
of 1907 to an amount not exceeding
S25, ,000, 900. These bonds may be pre-
sented at once.
Following is the Secretary's circular
regarding the redemption of per cent
bonds of the funded loan OF 1907:
I'm accordance with the publications
Of existing law, the Secretary of the
Treasury hereby gives public notice
that he will redeem at any time after
this date. upon presentation. the regis
tered and coupon bonds OF the per
cent funded loan of 1907 to an amount
not exceeding s25.000.000, and will pay
interest on July 1, 1907, upon the bonds
so presented.
Bonds intended for redemption un-
der this circular should be forwarded to

can prove that they are not laborers.
Japanese must be admitted unless they
are laborers, which must be proved by
the Government. There is vast dill
ference in this procedure, which may
make the Japanese exclusion amend
ment difficult of enforcement, If not
unavoidable, without further amend
ment.
1t Is predicted in some quarters that
Japanese laborers will follow the lead
of Chinese and try to prove that tney
are everything but laborers.
The President has directed that the
two suits filed with a view to testing
the rights of Japanese pupils under the
treaty to enter American schools be
dismissed.

members Of the Grand Jury had served
on q trial Jury within the year; second,
that the indictment failed 10 state
public offense. and third, that the pris-
oner should be admitted to bail The
first and third contentious were found
to be without merit and the court ruled
that il was not necessary to inquire
into the second on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
In his petition filed yesterday Ruef
makes the claim that Biggy has not
the proper authority TO act as MS Gus
todian. Ruef asks that he either be
given his liberty or turned over TO the
proper official" No doubt when Ruef
speaks Of "the proper Official" he refers
to Sheriff O'Neil or Coroner Walsh. who
made a farce of their hunt for the
fugitive boss. Ruef sets forth that no
evidence was taken on the necessity
OF keeping him in custody and then
asserts that his trial will take from
three 10 six weeks
He then proceeds in an autobiographi-
cal vein, asserting that he is over 40
years OF age and has lived all his life
in San Francisco. Continuing, he says
Of himself:
He is a man OF large affairs; that at
the time Of his being taken into Gus
tody he was engaged in the construc-
tion OF several buildings upon property
by him owned in the city and county Of
San Francisco and other AFFAIRS OF
large Importance to himself friends
and family; that he is an attorney at
law and has a large number OF clients
and has a large amount OF business or
other persons in his hands, whose in
ferests and rights will be jeopardiZed
by the inability OF the petitioner to at
tend to the same; that an ordar has
been issued not to leave him alone nor
TO permit him TO use the telephone, and
TO allow him 10 see only his family. at
torney and Office boy; that the defend
ant has not been convicted Of any
crime that he has not and never has
intended TO escape or depart from the
jurisdiction OF the court"
In referring TO the Trocadero incl
dent, Ruef says in his petition that he
had been indisposed and concluded TO
visit a suburban hotel in the city and
county Of San Francisco and to remain
there for several days for the purpose
Of recuperation and rest"
Arguments viii be heard on the pc
tition this morning.

made Ruef will be removed TO quarters
nearer to the court. The luxurious
surroundings OF the ST. Francis Hotel

freedom he can under the circum-
stances. Ruef held extended confer
ences yesterday with his attorneys.
