INDICTED BOSS MAY RETAIN
LOS ANGELES LAWYER
JUDGE LENiENT, ALLOWS HIM
ADDITIONAL TIME
Rumored in San Francisco That Henry
Gage May Be Asked to
Assist in De-
Tense


BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22-Abraham
Ruef's failure to secure counsel in the
two days time allowed him for that
purpose by Superior Judge Lawlor on
Monday was ire cause today of another
delay in fixing the date of his trial, the
court granting him further time until
o'clock Friday afternoon.
When the ocees of Patrick Calhoun
Thornwell Mullaly, Tirey l.. Ford, Will
liam M Abbott, Eugene E. Schmitz and
Ruef came up efore Judge Lawlor this
morning State Senator George b.
l<eane, representing Ruef, arose and
said that in spite of the utmost dill
gence and energy on the part of Ruef.
the defendant Lad not yet been able to
engage such counsel as he wanted.
I'VE canvassed a great number of
attorneys, hoping to secure their serv-
ices" said Kedne, with the result that
one lawyer has agreed to take the case
upon certain conditions. These condi-
tions are: That he have as associate
counsel an attorney who will be en-
gagged on a case in Los Angeles for a
week.
Want Los Angeles Man
1--WE have been diligent and exerted
every possible effort to comply with
the wishes of the court to have counsel
by this morning, but that was the best
that we could CO. l communicated with
.lis lawyer who is to be the associate
counsel last night, but up to the time OF
leaving m office had not yet heard
from him
Judge Lawlor stated that the court
recognized the defendants right to
have counsel of his choice and that
this must be literally deferred to, but
at the same time he wanted 1t un-
derstood that the courts time must
also be taken in consideration. and an
nounced that he would grant Ruef fur
ther time until Friday morning. AT
this, Keane stated that the case in
which the expected associate counsel
was engaged in would come up in Los
angeles on Friday morning and there
was possibility that he might be able
to have his case continued and come to
San Francisco to assist in the defense
of Ruef.
Upon this showing Judge Lawlor
said he would give Ruef until Friday
afternoon in order that he might learn
whether or not the attorney whom he
is trying to engage can obtain con-
tinuance of his case in Los Angeles.
At the same time, the court stated that
the defendant should not attempt TO
engage counsel who could not take up
his case at this time and not cause
further delay in the trial.
May Be Gage
Neither Ruef nor Keane would give
any intimation who the Los Angeles
attorney is whom they are endeavor-
ing to engage, whether local lawyer
who has a case in the courts there or
an attorney from that city.
They were equally as silent ebout
the identity of the local lawyer. Among
those whom it is freely rumored Ruef
is trying to engage are former Cover
nors Budd and Henry 7. Gage.

Won BUELOW
HOOTEDM IN
REICHSTAG
IN WILD DISORDER MEMBERS
SHOUT THREATS
Chancellor Refuses to Answer Social
lists Regarding Manhood Suffrage.
Deputies Nearly Come
to Blows

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. 22.-Chancellor Won
Buelow refused categorically in the
reichstag today to reply to Socialist
Interpolation on the subject of Prus-
sian suffrage. This precipitated a
deafening uproar from the members,
during which all the ministers left
the house The debate was continued
before the half empty benches.
Trouble with the people had been ex-
pected, particularly in view of the
street disorders of yesterday, and in
order to be prepared for a recurrence
of encounters between the police and
populace, the buildings of parliament
We're surrounded with a strong guard
of police armed with pistols and
sabers.
Furthermore, the thoroughfares of
Berlin are being patrolled constant
ly by police both mounted and on foot.
The Interpolation was very skillfully
worded in order to bring it within the
official authority of the reichstag.
Questions Won BueIow
1t was framed as follows:
"On what ground does the chancellor
consider manhood suffrage as already
granted for the elections to the i'm
interests of one of the federal states?"
There was some doubt early today as
to whether the chancellor would make
a reply. 1t has been his custom to
avoid discussing Prussian affairs in
the reichstag but others thought he
might empower DIR. Bethmann- Holl-
veg. minister of the interior, to re-
spond for him. Prince Won Buelow
opened the reichstag proceedings by a
warning against further manifesto
tions, which he declared did not affect
the government in the least degree.
He threatened, amid ironical cheering
from the Socialists, that the leaders
and organizers of all demonstrations
would be dealt with severely.
The chancellor trembled with indig-
nation when he referred to the recent
street manifestations which he de-
clared had been introduced in the cap
ital He stigmatized them as being
detrimental to the country and he
looked directly at the Socialist mem
bers when he announced that the or
ganizers would be held responsible. He
was compelled to pause several min
utes because of laughter from the
Socialist benches.
Herr Keith, Conservative, aroused an
uproarious tumult among the Socialists
when he asserted that the leaders of
that party were most prominent by
their absence from the streets during
the demonstrations which they misled
others into undertaking, even advising
the participants to take their wives
and children with them as protection
aaginst the police.
Wild Scene of Disorder
Cries of "vagabond. slanderer, liar,
scoundrel and hypocrite" greeted
Keith. The tumult lasted for several
minutes. Herr Bebel, the Socialist
leader, advanced to the tribune and
shrieked at Herr Keith you mis-
erable rascal" while Herr Stadthagen,
Social Democrat, called him vulgar
vagabond" and ''poiice spy
The president of the house made vain
attempts to- restore order. Amid cries

get it for nothing?"
The attendant explained that the
payment Of the fee was compulsory and
that it did not rest with him to make
an exception Still protesting. the old
couple turned away and walked from
the building arm in arm. They were
poorly dressed and spoke with mark
