BURNS DARFS ACH
TO SHOW HIS HAND
Graft Special Agent Takes the
Floor in Own Behalf in
Contempt Case
Bring on Sam Leake, Doctor
Coffey and Tom O'Neil,"
Taunts Angry SIeuth

William J. Burns. the special agent
of the graft prosecution, aroused by
the insulting tactics of Henry Ach.
Abe Ruefs most insidious counsel,
took the floor in Judge Lawlor's court
yesterday afternoon and dared Ach to
produce in court the minions of the
graft defense, naming particularly ex-
Sheriff Tom O'Neil, DR.. Coffey of the
United Railroads, and Sam Leake, one
of the retainers of the Calhoun detec-
tive establishment.
Burns had appeared before Judge
Lawlor to reply to the citation Issued
out of the court on the afhdavits of
Ruef and others that an order be issued
directing Burns, ]. G. Lawlor and r.
G. Schingler, the latter said to be de-
tectives in Burns employ. to show
cause why they should not be pun
ished for contempt of court for alleged
acts in approaching men whose names
are on the jury panel. 1t was charged
that they led these men on by argu-
ments to sign petitions directing that
the graft prosecution be taken out of
the hands of Langdon and Heney and
turned over to the attorney general
of California.
Assistant District Attorney John
O'Gara appeared with Burns and asked
that the case be continued until Fran
els j. Heney could arrive to represent
the special agent. Judge Lawlor per-
mitted Ach to make his presentation
and then continued the hearing until
4 o'clock this afternoon, when Heney
will appear for Burns.
During Ach's argument, which was
based on a marvellous assumption of
the virtue and innocence of Ruefs
methods, the attorney stood aggra-
vatingly over Burns.
At the conclusion OF the argument
Burns took the floor. declaring:
I'VE court the fullest Investigation
and we ask that every man working
for the other side be called Bring in
Sam Leake, DR.. Coffey and Tom
O'Neil"
Judge Lawlor stated that he real
lied that in previous cases juries had
been tampered with and that he in
tended to investigate the present mat
ter thoroughly.
I'VE will show everything that we
are doing, which is more than you can
do" declared Burns to Ach. And 1
mean you individually"

matter, neither is Sothern Whittlesey.
and the great part has not suffered at
the hands of either actor.
II l Were King" requires elaborate
settlng, elaborate costuming and clever
acting in several roles. All the re-
qu1rements were so thoroughly met at
the Alcazar last night that the theater
rang with the long applause of an au-
dience that filled the house. The cast
Is very large. The enthusiasm moved
to a climax at the end of the superb
third act-the scene in the garden of
Louis XI-when the audience, not con-
tent with the repeated bowling of Whit
tleSey and Bessie BarriScale kept up
the tumult until the hard working hero
advanced to the footlights and delivered
a pretty speech, in which he thanked
the house" and then joined with them
in paying well deserved compliment
TO the acting of the entire company
Not even The Rose of the Rancho"
surpassed this play in the beauty Of
its successive pictures. A lot of money
has been spent to make a perfect at
mosphere.
Miss Barriscale scored again. alike

Katherine de Vaucelles. A Burt Wes-
ner was entirely convincing as the
king. Will Walling was Thibaut

captain. Frank ]. McGlynn, who left
a San Francisco law office for the
stage several years ago, was welcomed
by friends when he appeared as Oliver

The Servant in the House" is an al
legory into which is boldly, yet rever-
emily, placed the spirit of Christ per-
sonified and proven. That a play, or an
allegory, as frankly religious as a ser
mons and twice as effective, should suf-
fee in these days of musical comedy,
show girls and hilarious vaudeville to
crowd the theater with fashionables
and those who are not fashionable; that
It could hold them breathless at times,
and interested always; that it could be,
in fact. huge theatrical success, seems
miracle as great, almost, as those
which scripture tells us of. Yet the
fact is the big Van Ness theater was
nearly filled last night-it will be quite
filled tonight-by a throng made up of
all classes and conditions of society
and the throng felt the measure and
force of the truths and yielded to the
spell-the truths which spell and have
been at work ever since Bethlehem's
star shone above the babe.
PLAY MOST UNUSUAL
1t is most unusual play and its
most unusual feature is the fact that
it is a big and compelling play. 1t
makes its own dramatic laws, and
abandons them whenever it chooses,
just as all great works of art are won't

CALHOUN PLEA DELAYED
Absence of Defendant From City
Sets Hearing Over

Patrick Calhoun's plea to the three
bribery indictments returned against
him by the Mcfarland grand jury was
further postponed yesterday because of
the absence of the defendant from the
city. Calhoun has returned from his
trip east, but his attorney Stanley
Moore, stated that he was in the noun

Judge Lawlor granted a postponement
to Saturday next. The same cases
against TREY L.. Ford, which were on
the calendar to be set, also went over
to Saturday. The trial of Abe Ruef
on one of these indictments will begin
tomorrow if the proceedings before
Police Judge Cabaniss have ended by
that time.

Senator Perkins statement that he
was willing to make an affidavit that
he never had any business dealings
with DIR. Buckley was quickly taken
up by the latter.
Let him make this affidavit" said
DR.. Buckley in a written statement.
First, that he was not a director of the
Pacific Coast steamship company in
the eighties.
Second, that during this period the
directors did not pay themselves some
s465,000 and leave unpaid the dividends
to outside stock holders.
Third, that the company did not give
G. +. Buckley one check for some SO, 500.
Fourth, that he did not go into the
inner Office of local bank after this
check had been paid. and to a bank
official use the term thief in reference

affidavit. Il will not be drawn into a
controversy % years old with man
who was either drunk or crazy when he
started it, 1 will, however, pay 81, 200
to any one who can bring a reputable
bank official to testify that I was con-
nected in any way with the alleged
transaction in which this man claims
that he was paid $4,000 by the Pacific
Coast steamship company. or that I
ever called DR.. Buckley a thief
Inasmuch as DR.. Buckley said yes
terday that the bank official around
whom the controversy is drawn is alive.
the probabilities are that the end of
the quarrel is yet to come.
