LANGDON STILL
HOLDS OFFICE
Jud^e Graham Decides That San
Francisco District Attorney
May Stay In.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
San Francisco, Oct. 30 - Judge
Graham decided today that John M.
Langdon is still district attorney,
which continues Francis J. Honey as
assistant in charge of the graft prose
! cut ions. Judge Graham examined
members of the grand jury impaneled
| last week and excused two out of seven j
' questioned. The examination will be
continued this afternoon.
\In* Kuef hopes to have the injunc
tion against recognition of his appoint*
r out as district attorney by Acting
Mayor (lailugher dissolved Friday, ami
to obtain possession of the office on
that day. If the injunction is deckled
iu favor of Kuef the decision will be
appealed t<> the supreme court.
Unjoins Fight Upon Langdon
San Francisco, Nov. 1 Presiding
Judge Seawoll issued a temporary
j enter of injunction prohibiting and re
straining the mayor or any one for
him from further attempts to remove
histrict Attorney Langdon until the
final hearing of the application for an
injunction for that purpose, upon
which the temporary restraining order
was issued last week.
City employes held a mass meetivg
las* night and Supervisor Coleman ex
plained that it is the intention to or
ganize a municipal league to protect
j officials from malicious charges of
I graft. Kuef also spoke and both lie
{and Coleman were cheered. The
names of Langdon and Heney were
I hooted. The meeting passed a resolu
tion charging Rudolph Spree kies and
j James I). Phelan with grafting in
! their handliug of the relief fund last
spring.
Grand Jury Drawn
San Francisco, Oct. 27- The last of
the grand jury was drawn today in the
superior court but Judge Graham re
fused to recognize Ruef. Langdon or
Heney as district attorney until the
determination of the injunction pro
ceedings brought to prevent the oust
ing of Langdon and the substitution of
Ruef. This hearing is set for Novem
ber 2.
During the court proceedings this
morning Heney leaned across the rail
l»etween them and shaking his finger
at Ruef cried: “You and Mayor
Schmitz and Acting Mayor Gallagher
and the whole eighteen supervisors
are the grafters we are after.” 1 he
court room was crowded. Jooo men be
ing jammed inside its walls.
When Ruef went out he was escort
ed by a hotly guard of detectives as a
personal attack upon him was immi
nent and he was himself in fear of
| assassination. As he was leaving the
building he was hooted and hissed. A
mob crowded around him shouting
threats but loo policemen who were
present under orders from Gallagher
rushed to hi-, assistance and hurried
him into an automobile with his body
guard and lie was driven rapidly
away. As he was going to the automo
bile he was struck in the face by Dr.
G. Beasley, a former army officer.
State Attorney-General Webb was
present during the court proceedings.
He announced that if Langdon and
Heney are ousted from office he will
step in and take charge himself.
The files in the office of the district
attorney contain charges against
Schmitz, Ruef and many others iden
tified with th«. city administration,
with lists of witnesses and Ruef un
doubtedly wishes to get hold of these
papers. Ruef s detectives in court
were ordered to keep their hands off
Heney. Ruef is believed to be plan
ning a way to make Heney divulge the
evidence of graft which has been gath
ered by Heney and Detective Burns.
Ruef’s house is surrounded by de
tectives and he goes nowhere without
a body guard. The city is on the
verge of riot over Ruef's conduct.
Ruef Issue In San Francisco
San Francisco, Oct. 29 — A semi
official rumor has been on the street
since yesterday morning that Judge
Graham in the superior court today
will make an order ousting Abe Ruef
from his claim of occupancy of the
office of district attorney, declaring
the removal of John M. Langdon. and
j of Francis J. Heney as his assistant in
the office, by Acting Mayor Gallagher,
to have been illegal.
lieujarain Ide Wheeler, president of
the state university of California, of
which Ruef is a graduate, issued a
statement which was published yester
; day in the daily papers, denouncing
Ruef and his methods and urging the
formation of a vigilance committee.
He says all self-respecting men in San
j Francisco are behind Heney in the
present struggle.
i President Wheeler issued another
| statement today urging that no vio
j lence be committed. He says that in

Washington delegation in congress,
particularly Senator Piles and Con
gressman Cushman, for the work they
have already done. He said further:
“I realize that it is impossible to
bring the people of the states to un
derstand thoroughly conditions in
Alaska. I realize also that no matter
how fair and liberal the general gov
ernment may be it will be impossible
to give Alaska a local government
which will satisfy everybody, owing to
local conditions and the wide diversity
! of interests. However, American citi
! zens are unwilling to remain long in a
community where they have no voice
in the management of public affairs.
If Alaska is given territorial govern
ment that fact will go far toward build
ing it n • into a permanent community.
“The federal mining laws are mere
skelet-.• s which Alaska is unable to
till up t > meet local needs, as is done
in outs'le states nnfl territories. I be
lieve that no radical changes are
needed. What Alaska wants is
amendments to prevent abuses. I n*
dor present laws an honest mining
man i> it a disadvantage. We want a
provision requiring a man to swear to
and ree rd an affidavit that he lias per
formed ! is assessment work, so that a
new man cannot come along and swear
that lie uas done assessment work on a
claim hut it was washed out by a
freshet.
‘’Alaska is anxious to get govern
ment as-istanoe for road construction.
We want a road from Valdez, or some
coast point throng.i to the Yukon and
another one in that region to tap the
whole interior of the territory. Major
Richardson's road work has been
efficient and the people of Alaska are
grateful to him. We also want a rail
road from the coast to the Tanana. I
am not in favor of railroad subsidies
as a principle but it may be necessary
in this case in order to get the road
through at an early date. However, I
have not made up my mind and l will
not in any case favor the granting of a
railroad monopoly.
‘*1 will ask for more government aid
! in the establishment and mainte
nance of public schools. We also want
more life-saving stations along the
coast.

i is due down stream today.
.Vug. Peters. Walter Nelson and
Peter Jackson arrived here on the Bat
with tneir outfit which they are
arranging to cache until the winter
I trail is open.
We have had beautiful weather for
j the pa-t three weeks. The air clear,
j and th- Alaskan range. Mt. McKinley,
Koraker and other peaks are more
'clear and distinct than at any time
j during the summer. The rivers are
j very low.
Between here and the mouth of
i Peters creek at present 'fourteen men
are camped. Split rock, about fifteen
miles above here on the Kahiltna, is a
j separated rock or boulder, split down
till* side, about thirty feet high, with
1 trees growing on the top. The old
j timers who have been on this route,
! like to get to the split rock. Above it
i is glare ice and sledding in the early
part of the season. 1 might say that
when up to split rock one is above the
glacier hank on an elevation of 100 feet
above the mouth of the river, and
from that point for several miles the
country is level and the river smooth.
The Wanberg party—five tnen—are
camped about twelve miles up the
river. They are working a four-box
sluice line and are taking out fair
wages. Mr. Wanberg is an old timer
i and has been placer mining on Kodiak
for twelve years. The party is well
equipped with mining hose and other
facilities for working the gravels of
the bars and gulches.

he had no intention of recommending
lynching.
Heney declares he knows that eight
men on the grand jury as drawn are
controlled by Kuef and that they must
go before he will undertake to secure
any indictments. Kuef has thrown all
the municipal machinery of San Fran
cisco. which he controls absolutely, in
to his own support. Heney has been
warned that his life is in danger but
he says he has no fear and that he in
tends to send all the grafters to the
penitentiary. He says he knows posi
tively that he has the evidence to do
it.
Kuef has called a meeting of the
j labor unions to try to get their support.
Please come and carry away a suit of
clothes from Clayson’s store. You can
take a cravenette rain coat also if you
like and anything else that strikes

FIND BODY OF)
E. A. SPENCER
Remains of Missing Timekeeper
Recovered 2000 Feet From
Glacier Trail.
Lying face downward with the
hands clasped across the forehead the
body of Edward A. Spencer was found
in a slight depression of the slope
above the glacier opposite mile 53 of
the railroad Saturday afternoon by a
laborer. This was the first trace of
tin* unfortunate young timekeeper who
started from camp 5l^at dusk the even
ing of November Hi, 1005, to go over
the glacier trail to camp 55, and was
never afterward seen alive.
The man who discovered Spencer’s
remains reported the fact at the rail
road camp and a searching party went
out to find the body but were unable to
locate it before dusk. Sunday
morning they found it 2000 feet from
the winter trail and interred it tempo
rarily near camp52 Treasurer Stewart
wired the news to Spencer's father in)
()akland.
The depression in which the body
was found was only two feet deep and
the posture of the body and its re
moteness from the trail indicated that
Spencer had wandered about probably
for several hours until he had become
neat ly exhausted and benumbed with
cold; that in the darkness he stepped,
in the depression and fell forward, j
striking upon his face with a
force that stunned him and he froze to
death without recovering conscious-!
ness. The body was much decora nosed
hut the features were still recog niza- j
ble, as well as t*he clothing. His
pack with papers in it was still upon
his back.
it was a dark, cold evening when
Spencer left camp 52 in spite of the
protests of the resident engineer,
Walter Jones, who warned him of the
danger. The trail over the glacier
was plainly marked by stakes but
these could not be seen in the dark
ness. An exhaustive search was made
at the time but not even a footmark
was found of the missing man.
Spencer was a graduate of the Oak
land high school and a former Stan
ford student. He came to Seward on
the Valencia in August, 1005, and was
general timekeeper of the Alaska Cen
tral when he was lost.
The shadow of misfortune seemed to
overhang the men who came to Sew
ard from San Francisco on the ill
fated steamer which less than six
months later went down off Vancouver
island with 150 lives. Several met
! death by accident on railroad work,
one committed suicide, two became in
sane. several died of disease, and an in
definite number made criminal records
in Seward.

Lon Phillips and W. H. Foster. Mr.
Fester is one of the jnen who were
stranded on a rock of the Kahiltna
river without food for live days.
Mining Topics affirms that a pocket
in the Little Johnnie mine at Lead
ville, Colorado, yielded 400 pounds of
nearly pure gold and that one nugget
weighed 18 pounds with not more than
5 per cent waste. That would be a
$50,000 nugget.
