RueFs Attorneys Fall
Out Over Their Fees
An Open Rupture Is Threatened,
With Ach and Shortridge
at Daggers' Points

The friction among the attorneys
who have been handling Ruef's case
has again reached the point where an
open rupture is threatened II IS re-
ported that there has been trouble over
the fees which Ruef had agreed to pay.
Ruef tried to beg off, out the attorneys
held him to his original bargain.
Then, IL is stated. there has been
jealousy between Ach and Shortridge
as to the amount they were to receive.
A good part of the daily conferences at
the St. Francis Hotel is taken up with
a rather animated discussion of the
financial situation.
On only one point are the three
agreed, and that is that they have bun
gled at every move. Ruef blames his
attorneys, and they blame him and each
other. The greatest bungle. they now
admit. occurred when Ruef made his
escape to Trocadero. It gave Burns the
opportunity for which he had been
striVing-to separate Ruef from the
Supervisors Ruef had not been iso-
lated in the ST Francis after his re-
turn from Trocadero more than two
days before the Supervisors made their
famous charge upon Burns office to

Makes Reply to Vicious
Attack on Dead Official
Gavin McNab Defends the Public
Acts of the Late Supervisor
Samuel Braunhart

The following letter in defense of the
official acts of the late Supervisor
Braunhart is self-explanatory:
To The Call: In justice to dead man who
served this city well, L cannot refrain from an
swering false. cowardly and extremely indecent
article that appeared in Sundays Examiner and
which purported to be an account of proceedings
before the Grand Jury. 1t is there stated that
preceding the present board had accepted bribes
and that the board under Braunhart's ieadershiu
had protected the Pacific States Telephone Com
pany for six years.
Most of the former Supervisors are living and

logue Of felonies. like Boxton. 1t is for them To
act. But Brauuhart is dead; fortunately his rec
ord lives; it will take more than a Boxton, more
than sixteen Boxtons to take 1t away.
Braunhart first appointed Supervisor by
Mayor James d. Phelan. The period of ak
years named by Boxton includes the two years
OF Phelan's last term. The board then existing
voted absolutely according TO Mayor Phelan's
suggestion: 1t executed HIS views and policies
and was in perfect harmony with his ideas on
public affairs.

After San Quentin, Yuma
May Be Home of Ruef
Boss Engages in Futile Conspir.
acy Directed Against Man
Who Is Prosecuting Him

Ruef might be requested TO spend a
few years in Yuma. If he should out
live the sentences that are coming TO
him in this State.
Not satisfied with his present diff
culties, he has been laying the founda-
tion for a charge OF conspiracy in the
Arizona courts by a diligent attempt TO
procure the Indictment Of Francis ].
Heney in that State
Some time ago Ruef sent Howard
Harron OF the City Attorneys Office TO
Arizona. Harron searched the territory
with fine tooth comb in an effort TO
discover evidence of any act which
could be made the basis Of an indict-
ment against Heney. The cornered boss
had heard rumors OF events at the time
when Heney was in the Territory, and
Harron was instructed especially TO
search for some one who would give
testimony damaging to Heney on the
death of DIR. Hendy, who had been shot
by Heney after Hendy had assaulted
him on the main street of Tucson.
Ruefs emissary found that those who
had been the greatest friends of Handy
we're the warmest admirers of Heney
today.
AT the same time. Ruef sent young
woman TO Heney under the guise of a
reporter for an evening paper. seeking
an interview from him on the subject.
The young woman was warned that she
had already made herself liable TO
criminal prosecution by the part she
had taken, and she left without ac-
complishing her purpose OF trying to
get some damaging statement from
Heney.
For three months Ruefs paid men
have been working at the fruitless
task and all the time Heney has been
taking notes which. II used, would land
the oonspirators. including Ruef face
to face with a Grand Jury in Arizona,
where they do things quickly, and
where Heney is no less respected than
he is in San Francisco.
notwithstanding the fact that the
strongest friends OF Handy went before
the Grand Jury at the time and testi-
fed TO Handy's threats, which had been
repeated for a year. and that the act
of Heney was in self-defense, and not
withstanding the fact that HenSy was
exOnerated, Ruef would not miss a
chance 10 assail his prosecutor.
Probably San Quentin will leave
nothing Of Ruef for Yuma.

Board Of BOOdlers
Will Meet | Oday
Confessed Bribe Takers Again
to Legislate for the City

The Board of Supervisors will meet
today, the same s2sO,O0O board which
has been doing a profitable business in
franchises and permits. Gallagher will
be-there, big Jim who was not sat
isfied with his $4,000 from sundry COR
porations. but retained per cent of all
he collected for his brothers in graft.
Lonergan will be there, the same Lon
ergan who confessed that he was sorry
that his money was burned.
These men are to legislate for the
good of the city. 1t is understood that
they will continue to legislate until the
expiration of their terms of Office. The
situation has been studied by the prose-
cution, and it is stated that decision
has been reached to leave the board to
itself. The District Attorneys office be-
lieves that no public service corpora
tion will attempt under the cfrcum-
stances to purchase the votes of the
reformed boodlers. Neither is it be-
lieved that the members will take ad-
ditional bribes between now and next
January. Still there are those who
regard it as unwise to speculate upon
the capabilities of the men who sold
themselves both ways at the same
time.
A lively meeting is anticipated when
the board meets today. There are two
members, Tveitmoe and ONeil.t who
have not in any way been connected
with the orgy of graft. Whether these
men will consent to act with the gang
of confessed boodlers remains to be
seen. There will be no alternative
for Tveitmoe and O'Neil If they object
to working with the sixteen grafters
but to resign. They cannot oust the
boodlers except by process of law.
Court action would make it necessary
for the prosecution to produce its evil
dence, and this ii Is unwilling to do
at the present time.
Some activity is anticipated from the
Mayors office. 1t is thought that
Schmitz may try to create legal tan
gle by attempting to oust the boodlers
by an executive order. In any event
nishes food for reflection. Schmitz
has made no call upon the District
Attorney for the facts. He has not
suggested an official inquiry. In fact,
Schmitz has done nothing.
1t is the desire of the Mayor to serve
out his term. He has sought legal ad-
vice, and has been informed that it
will be impossible to oust him without
court proceedings, and these he could
involve with technicalities until his
term had run its length. Schmitz has
an idea that it will be difficult for the
prosecution to convict him. and he in
tends to hold out for terms
