FlCKERT'S ATTEMPT TO
RELEASE CALHOUN FAILS
Judge Refuses TO Quash Indictment.
Same Action Taken in Ford, ABB
bott and MuIlaly Cases

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7.-District
Attorney Charles NJ. Fickert today
made motion to dismiss the indict-
ment charging Patrick Calhoun, presi-
dent of the United Railroads of this
city, with bribery in connection with
the granting of an overhead trolley
franchise to his road by the Ruef-
Schmitz board of supervisors. After
listening to arguments in support of
the motion Judge Lawlor overruled it
and directed that the trial proceed
next Monday.
Fiekert declared that on account of
missing witnesses and insufficiency of
evidence he was convinced that a con-
viction could not be secured. Motions
to dismiss the indictments against I'll
rey L. Ford and William Abbott, coun-
sci for the United Railroads, and
Thornwell Mullaly, assistant to Presi-
dent Calhoun, charged with bribery,
also were denied by Judge Lawlor.

TO AMEND ORDINANCE

An amendment to the billiard hall
ordinance that will permit the police
commission to suspend a permit for
mild offenses will be asked of the coun-
Gil by the commission. The need for
such a power was felt last night when
Henry Berry was on trial on a charge
of permitting minors in his pool room
at 842 East Fifth street. While the
evidence showed that minors had been
in the place the case was not fragrant,
The commission did not want to re-
woke Berry's permit, so the case was
continued for four weeks to give the
council time to amend the ordinance.

Democratic Managers Receive
Encouraging News Regarding
Lieutenant GovernOrship

Reports received yesterday at Dem
ocratic headquarters in the Fay nullu-
ing stated that the leading oil men @
of California are working togethel
energetically to insure the election
of "Tim" Spellacg the Democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor. he
is a leading oil man.
Most of the oil men are also work
ing industriously for Mr.. Bell, but
as Mr.. Spellacy is an oil man, and q
close personal friend of a majority oil
the big oil dealers, they naturally feel
more interested in the success of thelI
old time comrade than in the success
OF any other candidate. Mr. Spellacy
has so familiarized them with the po-
litical situation, however, that they
now realize "Our Tim" could do the
people little good If he did not have
a Democratic governor to sustain him
and with this idea firmly fixed in thelI
minds they are boosting strenuously
for the election of Bell.
Every oil man in the state is friend
ly to Mr. Spellacy, and all Of them are
sparing no time or expense to defea'
Johnson and to elect the two Demo-
cratic standard bearers.

'. c. HENRY ARRAIGNED
ON SWINDuING CHARGES
Wife Accompanies Accused Man
Into Court-Bail Is Fixed
at $27,500

Victor C. Henry, who is alleged to
have borrowed $12,50O on real estate
he did not own by means of a forged
deed, was arraigned in Justice Bairds
court yesterday on three separate COM
plants charging forgery, fraud and
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Bail was fixed at S27,500.
Henry was represented by his at
torney, Frank Platt, and accompanied
into court by his wife. He was ar
rested near Ventura while speeding
his automobile in an effort to elude
the officers at Santa Barbara armed
with warrants for his arrest on a
forgery charge.
Henry is accused in the complaints
of having swindled the Pacific Mu-
tual Life Insurance company out of
$12,5 500 on a piece of property in Elev-
enth street between Hill street and
Broadway, which he is said to have
represented as his own. The sigma
ture of S. H. Underwood, a justice Of
the peace and notary public of Long
Beach, was attached to the deed to
the property which he presented to the
insurance company when obtaining the
loan.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 nthe COM
plant sworn to by the Pacific Mu-
tual Life Insurance company; $4,000
on the forgery complaint sworn to by
S. H. Underwood, and $4,000 on the OBJ
tanning of money under false pre-
lenses complaint sworn to by Lee o.
Phillips.
Henry appeared in court without the
debonair attitude with which he took
his arrest and confinement in the
county Jail Wednesday night. He ap-
peared pale and concerned as to the
outcome of the case.
It is understood that his defense will
be that he owned real estate in the vi
cinity Of the Hill street property. Both
he and his attorney would make no
statement yesterday as to the forgery
charge.
