VERY NEAR RIOT in COURT
EVERY FACTION OF MUNICIPAL
POLITICS IN FRISCO THRoNe
COURT TO WITNESS FINAL
SCENES IN TRIAL WHICH HAS
LASTED SIX MONTHS.

San Francisco, June 19--The case
Of Patrick Calhoun, millionaire presi-
dent of the United Railways, charged
with bribery, was given to the jury
shortly before noon today, after a trial
that dates back to January IL, 1909
Assistant District Atty. Francis J.
Heney added materially to an argu-
ment that had already extended over
a period of fifteen hours Judge will
lam Ell. Lawler began the charge to
the jury o few minutes before IL
o'clock.
Police Hardly Preserve Order.
Every faction of municipal politics
and every shade of bitter sentiment
that had arisen since the overthrow of
Boss" Abraham Ruef three years ago
was represented in the overwhelming
throng that stormed the doors of Car
penter's hall when court assembled.
Mounted policemen charged into the
crowds and full company of patrol
men inside the building and out was
scarcely able to preserve order.
The cost of the trial, including the
maintenance of jurors, special police
detail, transcript and the usual ex-
penses of court for so great a period
can only be conjectured, but it is esti-
mated that 1t will exceed $4,000.
