MALIGNERS REPRIMANDED
Lawyers Reflect on Graft Prose-
Cution and Are Branded Liars

Two lawyers. both of whom served
during the Ruef regime as assistants
in the city attorneys Office, yesterday
took occasion to voice ugly charges
against the graft investigation in the
presence of members of the prosecu-
tion, and each of them met the lie di-
rect from the objects of their ATTACKS.
They were forced to eat their words
and apologize to avoid a fistic encoun-
ter.
Attorney Hugo K. Asher in convehsa-
tion with District Attorney Langd on
in front of the hall of justice building
remarked that the verdict in the Ruef
case was reflection of public senti-
ment against the improper methods of
the graft prosecution.
Improper methods! What improper
methodist" asked Langdon.
"Oh, WELL" replied Asher. 'I was
sitting beside Burns during the Ford
trial when they were examining tales
men. Burns asked me what 1 thought
of certain man and I told him he was
crooked. Then Burns asked me If
thought he could get him.
Langdon was aroused.
" Get himr" he flashed. What do
you mean by get him.
"On, l don't know-you can draw
your own conclusions leeringly re-
sponded Asher.
Burns was standing nearby and
stepped forward.
you say 1 tried to fix juror? If you
did you are liar. The only time
ever spoke to you about juror was
when ] came to you to talk about a
crook who was a friend of your brother
and whom you told me was crook"
See here. I won't allow you to call
me liar. Mr.. Burns" clustered Asher.
Well, you are a liar, contemplate
liar If you say I ever attempted any
thing dishonorable in these trials"
We'll. 1 didn't say that, Mr.. BuHRs, ;"
said Asher, subsiding.
You didn't say and don't know any
thing of the kind them" insisted Burns.
No, SIR said Asher, whiting COM
pletely.
Quite crowd had been attracted by
this time by the loud and angry voices
of the disputants. Attorney Adolph S.
Newburgh then made a remark that re-
opened hostilities.
"Asher's right, the graft prosecution
is crooked he said loudly. Detective
Charles Oliver, Burns man, stood near
him.
rs that so?" he said to Newburgh.
'"Then you're a liar, toov'
81 am, eh?" shouted the attorney.
well, we'll just find that out" He
made rush for Oliver, but the spec
tators intervened.
IF you want to fight just come
around into the alley" said Newburgh
from behind the vantage point of a
pair of restraining arms.
Sure thingw acquiesced Oliver.
I've heard you shooting off your
mouth altogether too much upon Fill
more street and around town." and he
began to strip off his coat.
gan to run down the street, amid the
jeers and shouts of the crowd.

the Native Sons of the Golden West
brought their thirty-f first grand parlor
to an end today, concluding an outing
Of five days of unalloyed pleasure.
I'VE are better for having been here"
said Grand President Dooling, and
every man will carry home with him in
the form of nobler thoughts the i'm
print of the valleys grandeur"
A few delegates left for their homes
today, but 1t will require three days to
empty the valley of its augmented pop
ulation. Special trains will be run dur
ing the week.
The main business of the days ses-
sion was the election of officers, but
time was found for two events not an
ticipated when the delegates left their
homes for the valley. One was the
planting of sequoia by aged Galen
Clark, the discoyerer of the big trees,
to commemorate the visit of the parlor
to the Yosemite. and the other the pre-
sentation to the school children of the
valley of a set of flags. The money for
this purpose was raised in few mo-
ments by the delegates. A total OF
$500 was subscribed In the afternoon
the Native Sons attended a barbecue
on the banks of the Merced river.
The election of officers was made the
special order of business for this
morning and, in order to conclude the
work by noon, the session was called
at s o'clock
The, balloting was spirited and
crowds gathered around the pavilion
to learn the result after every count.
Herman Lichtenberger was greeted
with rounds of applause when the an
nouncement was made that he had been
elected grand third vice president, the
office for which the biggest fight was
made. Upon emerging from the hall
he was cheered and subjected to such
a series of embraces as gained Rich
mond p Hobson international fame.

Washing
Dishes

In washing dishes care must be taken
not to put tumblers which have had
milk in them into hot water, as it
drives the milk into the glasses,
whence it can never be removed.
They should first be well rinsed in
tepid water. Electric Floating Soap
is particularly useful in washing tum-
blers and goblets; they should be
placed in hot soapy water, dipping the
sides first and turning them rapidly,
thus heating the outside and inside at
the same time and preventing breaking.
When wiped they should moth e turned
down until put away in china closet.
Innumerable small cleaning prob
lens arise in the housewives expert
ence for which ordinary cheap soap is
not at all suitable. Electric Floating
Soap costs no more and it's volatile
properties make it far superior to COM
mon soap. It's use is economy.
