San Francisco. Oct. 26. With 'full de
termination to fight to death if necessary,
ny attempt to oust him from the office of
district attorney. Attorney Langdon, who
was suspended last night for alleged dere
lectionof duty, appeared at the usual hour
this morning and took possession of his
office without interference from either
Abe Rueff, who has been selected to suc
ceed, him, nor any of Rueff' s followers,
FEAR OF BLOOD SHED
The act dispelled the fears thst have
ijn entertained that there would be
&?od shed this morning when the present
attorney came to his office. The first
thing Langdon did was to sign orders
produced by Superior Judge I well, restrain
ing Abe Rueff, Governor Gallagher, or the
board of supervisors from in any manner
interfering with the office of district at
torney. The order was made returnable
November 2 and by this action it is be
Rueff's cdup will be put to naught and
the investigation of alleged municipal
crookedness proceed without hindrance
on the part of the Rueffites.
flfjj attack on District Attorney Lang
do.sjy was made after his attack on
the alleged crookedness that has
been rampant in San Francisco since
the fire. Mayor Schmitz suddenly dis
appeared when the graft leaked out and
caused Langdon to hurry his investigation.
Abe Rhueff followed the attorney's at
tack with a counter attack on him, al
leging that the attorney neglected his
office to canvass the state for the inde
pendent league during the recent election.
TO FIGHT EVEN WITH ARMS
When Langdon took his seat this morn
ing he issued a statement saying, "Sew-
ell's order completely nullifies the action
of Rueff, Gallagher and the board of sup'
ervisors until November 2. At least
there will be nothing that Rueff can do
until that time, unless he resorts to arms,
and we are prepared for that too.
RUEFF THE CAUSE
Late last evening Rueff, Heney and
Acting Governor Gallagher filed before
the grand jury the charges against the
district attorney, but the superior judge
followed the action with his edict restrain
ing action until November 2.
Rueff Langdon and Heney are determ
ined men and practically known no
fear. Heney has been tried and' found
not wanting in a clash at arms, having
killed a man in Arizona in a desperate
battle resulting from law suit,
Langdon this morning in anticipation of
an attempt to storm the office called up
on the sheriff for two deputies and upon
the chief of police for two policemen. The
reason to remove Langdon is btcause he
proposes to ask the grand jury to indict
Rueff, Gallagher and others for felonies,
which he claims he can prove they have
committed.
Rueff appeared in court at 2:30 sur
rounded by body guard. Frances J.
Henty appeared a few minutes later and
was cheered for ten minutes, before the
court could restore order.
been sent to Graham's court and fairly
good order has been restored.
This far Graham has made no distinc
tion between Rueff and Langdon, the
question not yet having come up.
It developed this afternoon that Rueff,
Gallagher and ' the supervisor were in
secret conference preparing a plan of
action.
Long before the hour set for the selec
tion of a grand jury, fully 3000 people
gathered around the court house building.
Just before going to court Rueff an
nounced that he would not attempt to
take the office by force but would estab
lish a second distriot attorney's cffice if
not recognized by the court.

ments are being made for the paying -off
of eight first class battleship and for
