SAN FHANS1CO, Cal.. March
3. Abe Huef will probably be
taken to San Quentin prison to-
day. Both the former political
boss and bis attorneys were cit-
ed to appear before Judge Lav,-
lor this afternoon and ansner
reports charging that they ran
counter to stipulations which
they agreed to secure during
the seven day stay of sentoueo.
It is now stated that Kuef's
attorneys are preparing appeals
to the United States supreme
court for a re-her.ring, notwith-
standing that the stay of sen-
tence was simpiy granted in or-
der to give him an opportunity
to transact private . business
matters.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.
Frnncls J. Henery, graft prosecutor,
who conducted the prosecution of
Abe iktief, commenting today on
the final court order ending Huef's
light to escapt a 14-year sentence
for bribery sees in the final action a
powerful argument for the recall.
The state supreme court In vacating
an order granting a ro-hoarlng to
Ruef virtually reversed itself after
it had been attacked by the attorney
general and the legislature had
started nn investigation of the court.
Mr. Ileney says: "The fact that
the supreme court of California has
reversed itself to sustain the convic
tion of Abraham Ruef is Important
chiefly as a Bign of tha times of

the new era in which the people are
beginning to rule.
"That Huef must go to jail is of
relative importance only. It is im
portant that criminals of all stations
should be punished but it is far more
important that the people themselves
should control the administration of
justice.
"There is a peculiar and a tre
mendous significance in the fact that
what Ruef claims to be a technical
ity forced the supreme court of this
state to reverse itself on a previous
ruling which granted Ruef a rehear
ing. On former occasions technical
ities have weigned only in favor
of the graft prosecution defendants.
Schmitz had been freed because the
indictment upon which he was con
victed failed to state that he was
mayor of San Francisco at the time
his crime was commited. The su
preme court unanimously refused to
; give the people of California a hear
! ing on the merits of the Schmitz
j case and based its refusal on a flimsy
i technicality which was not antiripat
j eJ and hence was not even mentiou
' ed in the brief accompanying the
! application by the people for a hear
I in!.
Ruef had been granted a hearing
on technical grounds. The court re-
! versed its action because the attor
ney general called its attention to
the fact that one of the concurring
justices was out of the state when
the order for a hearing was sigtied.
Why did four members of the court
first ignore, then reckou with this
point?
"Because a fearless public officer
demanded attention and because the
weight of an awakened public was
behind the demand a public inter
ested in its own 'affairs, demanding
speed v and substantial justice, the
right to remove faithless judges, the
creation of laws to stop jury tamper
ing and miscarriages of justice.
This awakening came in time to
work against Ruef. That is all.
"It is probable that tho bitter
thought of all to this formerly pow
erful man, Is that he must go to
jail while his more powerful and
richer companions in crime go free.
There is bitterness in that fact to all
right thinglng persons as well. Yet.
the very conditions that produced
these miscarriages of justice were
the instruments that worked toward
permanent good.
"The prosecution of the rich law

An extra session of congress is re
garded a certainty today following
rotirts for criminal corporations. To
demonstrate to the people the nec
essity of controlling their own gov
ernment. "Kuef now sns that he would not
have been convicted of bribery had
Mr. Ileney not been shot In court
during the trial. This may be par
tially true, though It is certain thaf
the ability n,ud patriotism of the
present governor of California was

"Jury tarn wring, bribery of wit

open shooting worked a quick but
temporary awaken'ng of t he public
mind. The exposure of those other

"There are man y honest cit Izens
