CALHOUN CASE
GROWS BITTER
Feeling Runs High on Both Sides in
the Calhoun Bribery Case and
an Outbreak is Antlc-
Ipated.
SAFES BROKEN OPEN
Detectives Tried to Find Incrminat.

But FaiIed-Were After
New York kilograms.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-Feel.
ing Is running high on both sides and
an outbreak is feared when the nine
men arrested on allegations which in
clude larceny and disclosing the plans
OF the prosecution are arraigned be-
fore Police Judge Deasy at the pre-
l1minary hearing today. The fact that
the raid on Calfioun's office, in which
his safes were broken open, and priv
ate papers inspected. was made by
Letective Burns, in defiance of the in
junction issued by the supreme court,
adds complication to the case. The
real reason of the raid, the friends
of Calhoun assert, were not to discov-
er the evidence that had been stolen
from the prosecution. Instead it is
alleged, the purpose was to discover
what copies of kilograms Calhoun had
among his private papers. In order to
prove Calhoun guilty of bribery it
will be necessary to show while he
was in New York he sent kilograms
to officials of the United Railways
here directing them to make payment
of the money as bribe. No record
SO far has been found of such tele
grams in the local telegraph offices
Evidence against the nine accused
men will be presented to the graai
/ jury Tuesday. Following the police
court hearing today it was announced
the attorneys OF the United Railway:
will go before the Judge of the su
preme court to demand those respon
! sible for the violation Of his injunc
tion be punished. Those include Dis
trict 1ttorney Langdon, Francis ]
Heney and Detective Burns.

his people and made them believe they
