Earl Rogers and Chief Seymour
clashed yesterday in San Francisco.
The head of the San Francisco de-
partment resented, it is said, the plan
of serving a lot of subpoenas issued in
blank and later filled in by attaches of
the district attorneys office in Los
Angeles. There was a conference be-
tween Chief Seymour and Attorney
Rogers, as a result of which, it is said,
Rogers agreed to deliver his subpoenas
to San Francisco officers for service.
After the conference Chief Seymour
said:
MUST COMPLY WITH LAW
"These people will not be permitted
to run wild in San Francisco. Mr..
Rogers is a lawyer and knows as we'll
as I do what constitutes evidence
valid to a grand jury Indictment. All
subpoenas of that kind in this city
must be served strictly in accordance
with the law"
At Sacramento yesterday Governor
Gillett declined to discuss the rumored
arrest of three dynamiting suspects IN
Mexico. He refused to either affirm
or deny a rumor that request for such
arrests had been made.
The state department at Wash
ington was secretive, also, The
opinion prevailed in Washington,
however, that there had been com
munication between the state depart
ment and Consul A. w. Brickwood,
jr., who is stationed at Tapachula,
Mexico. However, no notification of
the arrest of three men has reached
Washington from the consul.
c. c. McComas, deputy district at
grand jury investigation for the dis
trict attorney, manifested no interest
in conflicting rumors regarding sus-
poets on steamers nearing Mexican
ports.
I'VE have received no information
of the arrest of any men at any Next
can port" said McComas. We do not
think the men who are said to be sus-
poets have anything to do with the
case. We are not eXerting ourselves In
Investigating along that line"
