(6y United Press Leased WIre)
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-Three
attorneys in the defense Of Patrick
Calhoun, charged with bribery in
connection with the trolley per
mits granted by the Ruef-schmItz
board Of supervisors in 1906, were
sent to Jail today by Judge Lawlor
ct the superior court, for contempt.
The attorneys were sentenced to
five days imprisonment and were
remanded to the custody Of the
sheriff.
The trouble started when Attor-
ney Stanley Moore objected to the
declaration of the court that the
district attorney was following the
lead Of the attorneys for the de-
tense. When Stanley Moore re-
fused to remain quiet, Judge Law
lor imposed sentence. A. A.
Moore, father of Stanley Moore,
sprang to his feet to defend his
son, and upon refusal to be seated,
also was adjudged guilty Of con-
tempt.
Thereupon Attorney John ]. Bar
rett denounced Judge Lawlor and
was sent to join the Moores.
Deprived of his counsel, Patrick
Calhoun. president Of the United
Railways, chief figure in the recent
graft prosecutions. harangued the
court. He refused to remain silent
and finally Judge Lawlor left the
bench and walked from the room.
Calhoun talked for several minutes
and then took his seat. Thereupon
Lawlor re-entered the court room
and continued the case.

THE locating of the city hall at
Second and Washington would be
a great mistake, as to place it
there would be to put it in a place
where it would not add to the at
Effectiveness of the city. l would
not be easily visited by strangers
and tourists, and to put it under
that overhead passage-way would
be to make it unsightly in general
appearance.
Alexander Lindsay, of the water
department, hasn't tatken much
time to think over the question. but
he favors central location, pref
erably the Greenough, at Second
and Howard.

site chosen should be a central one,
and the Greenough is the most
preferable, in my opinion"
M. D. Haye, hardware man, 1927

committed in the north side Italian
colony. when Joseph Laverdi. 20 years
old, was shot and instantly killed in
the basement OF his home, according to
Mrs. Laverdi. who was the bride OF q
year.
The victim had not had trouble with
anyone, and the police believe the mur-
derers were members OF the Black
Hand.
Laverdl had gone to get bucket OF
coal in the basement, where. 1t Is said.
his assailants were hiding. Two shots
were soon heard by the young woman,
who called to the neighbors and with
them hurried to the scene OF the mur-
der. whore the murdererd man waa
found with two bullet holes In his back
Owing to the critical condition OF Mrs
Laverdi. tho police were unable to OBJ
tain any information.
Fifteen men have been arrested on
suspicion. Laverdi was cousir OF
Tony Dugo. who was shot and killed
under equally mysterious circum-
stances In the same neighborhood last
December.
Another theory Is that both the men
had incurred the enmity OF members OF
an italian secret society and that they
were killed as the result OF a plot.

United States Government Investisat-
ing Question Of Discrimination
Against Imports in Colonies Before

denotes.

Washington, Feb. THE president
today issued proclamation declaring
that German goods imported into the
United States are entitled TO the MINI
mum rates of duty
The proclamation does not include
German colonial possessions for the
reason that the department of state has
not yet had sufficient time in which
to investigate the questions as to
whether such colonies undulyi d:scrim-
mate against importations from the
United States. Inasmuch as the maxi
mum rates of the United States 90 not
go into effect until March 81, next,
ample time will be afforded to determ-
Inc that question. There is reason to
believe that before that date the rresi-
dent will take action including German
colonies in the list of countries en-
titled to the minimum rates. Procla-
nation today is identical with that
published some days ago with respect
to Italy and several other countries.
