into the ruins. He said he had a clear
view, and would have witnessed the res
cue of the persons if any had been pos
sible. Long after the floors had fallen in. pil

Industrial Congress Opens.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 25. The first
Russian Industrial Congress assembled
here today. The delegates were addressed
by the Ministers of Finance, Commerce
and Railroads.
of the Eoard of Supervisors read a long
statement, giving 12 reasons for suspend
ing Langdon. Among them were neglect
of duty, inefficiency and absence from
the county for more than 30 days to cam
paign the state as a candidate for Gov
ernor on the Independence League ticket.
Prior to today no objection was made to
his absence, the office being in the hands
of competent assistants. Langdon tonight
spoke at Woodland, Yolo County.
It is believed that injunction proceed
ings will be instituted tomorrow to pre
vent the Supervisors from removing him
from office.
While it was known that the adminis
tration was considering the removal of
Langdon from office as a bold counter
stroke to the appointment of Heney, only
a few of the politicians were aware that
Gallagher had determined to take this
action today.
Gallagher Throws His Bomb.
Today was the day for the regular
weekly meeting of the Board of Super
visors. The usual hour for the session
is 3 o'clock. It was 6 o'clock this after
noon before the board, which had evi
dently been informed of Gallagher's in
tention, met Fifteen of the IS Super
visors were present. Rea and Furey be
ing absent, as well as Duffy, who was
recently appointed - to the Board of
Works.
Gallagher entered the room . at 6:30
P, M. and was immediately surrounded
by the members of the board. A brief
conference was held in subdued tones for
five minutes. The Supervisors then took
their scats, and after some unimportant
routine business was transacted Galla
gher arose, announced the suspension of
Langdon, and instructed the clerk to read
the charges and specifications as set
forth by the Mayor for his action. "When
these were read. Supervisor Sanderson
made a motion that the Mayor's suspen
slon of the District Attorney be approved
by the Board, and that Langdon be or
dered to appear before the Supervisors
next Thursday and answer the charges.
The motion was adopted. There was no
rollcall.
Having had his action In suspending
the District Attorney approved by the
Supervisors, Gallagher then informed the
board that he had asked "his friend,"
A. Ruef, temporarily to occupy the oftice
of District Attorney, and that Ruef had
accepted the appointment.
It was evident from the expression of
their faces that this move was' not looked
for and that the Supervisors were amazed
at the Mayor's bold step.
When the meeting adjourned, Gallagher
was asked whether Ruef had shown any
hesitancy or delicacy in accepting the ap
pointment of District Attorney in view of
the statements openly made that he wa3
one of the principal parties against whom
the investigation was directed.
"Not at all," replied Gallagher. Asked
if he had anything to say regarding the
removal of Langdon. the Mayor said that
his action and the charges against the
District Attorney sfcoke for themselves.
Ituef Discharges Heney.
Ruef tiled his bond and qualiried. His
first official act was to discharge Heney
nnd appoint In his stead Marshall B.
.Woodworth. former United States Dis
trict Attorney for Northern California.
He announced that he would proceed to
secure Indictments against the leaders of
the movement agalntt the municipal administration.
Mr. Ruef announced that he would ap
pear before the grand jury tomorrow m
his official capacity and that if Heney
were present, he would be allowed to re
main only as a private citizen.
Ruef further stated that, when the
grand jury was organized, he would have
subpenas issued for Heney and Detective
Burns and compel them to surrender the
evidence they had gathered.
Unconstitutional, Says Heney.
Mr. Heney said tonight that the pro
ceedings of the Mayor and th-Board of
Supervisors were unconstitutional. He re
fused to say what his plans were.
Heney Keeps His Secret,
Before the suspension of Langdon and
his own removal from office. Mr. Heney
today issued the following statement in
reply to repeated requests for an an
nouncement of the facts Siid to have
been secured by Burns.
I recognize the fact that the community
is entitled to know the facts which are in
my possession at the earliest moment con
sistent with an effective prosecution, but it
would be neither wise nor proper for me to
try my case in the newspapers or to make
any charge against any person in advance ot
action by a grand jury or otherwise than
in the manner prescribed by the statutes
of this stale, while I occupy the offifial po
sition of Assistant Distn-'t Attorney. I
must therefore decline to answer any and
all questions In regard to the nature cf the
facts which are In my possession or in re
gard to the person or persons against wiiom
evidence has been secured. I am contident
that no newspaper, will consider me dis
courteous for taking this position.
LA.GDO. DEi'IKS THE BOSS
Denies Power of Suspension and
Will Continue Inquest.
WOODLAND, Cal., Oct. 25. District At
torney W. H. Langdon arrived at Wood
land this evening to address the people as
the Independence League nominee. Dur
ing his speech four or rive telegrams ar
rived for him and one long distance call by
telephone. He finished his speech, read
the messages and answered the long dis
tance call. When he finished, he said he
would not talk. Later he gave out the
following statement:
"No person in California believes that
my alleged suspension is due to neglect
or inefficiency. No defence is- necessary
before the people. It is apparent that my
removal is deemed necessary by Ruef and
Gallagher to prevent an honest and
searching investigation of conditiqns that
obtain in municipal affairs in San Fran
cisco. "Their plans will come to naught, how
ever, for as District Attorney I shall pur
sue this investigation to the end.
"I deny the legal right of the Mayor or
the Board of Supervisors to suspend or
dismiss me. The provision of the charter
purporting to give that authority is
clearly unconstitutional. The citizens
must say whether or not this high-handed
proceeding will be countenanced in a com
munity which is supposed to be governed
according to law and not by a boss and
his puppets."
Langdon left tonight for San Francisco
on a freight train to catch the southbound
Oregon express.

DENIES STRIKE IS IMMINENT
Southern Pacific Officials Say AU
Is Peace With Employee.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 25. E. E. Cal
vin, general manager, and W. S. Palmer,
general .superintendent, of the Southern
Pacific Company, deny the report that
any strike is imminent in any branch of
the service. Mr. Palmer made the follow
ing statement today:
"There is no joint committee represent
ing the trainmen in session with the
Southern Pacific officials. The only ques
tions are those that have come up In the
usual order under the agreement between
the Southern Pacific and its trainmen, and
these relate solely to conductors and to
switchmen, the latter being represented
by the Erotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
A great many details are being gone over
between the general superintendent of the
Southern Pacific Company and the com
mittee representing these two orders, but
relations are not strained and there is no
doubt whatever as to a satisfactory out
come. It is particularly desirable that this
should be known everywhere at the pres
ent time, since the possibility of a strike
which would tie up all the railroads in
California would seriously affect the state
at a very critical time.
"There is no question under consider
ation between the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Kngineers and the Southern Pa
cific Railroad.'
GERMS LURK IN DEAD ENDS
Bacteriologist Blames City Water for
Hoquiaru Typhoid Epidemic.
HOQUIAM, Wash.. Oct. 25. (Special.)
Dr. Ralph C. Matson, the Portland bac
teriologist who was called to this city by
Mayor Mclntyre to analyze the city water
and determine whether it was responsible
for the recent epidemic of typhoid fever,
has decided that question in the affirma
tive. He found a number of water mains
with so-called 4'dead ends," where the
water stagnates; he also found the cases
most numerous and malignant in the
vicinity of these "dead ends."
Dr. Matson has examined the blood of
a number of patients and declares the
disease to be true typhoid. In regard to
the assertion that the tisease had been
disseminated through the milk supply he
say&c
"If this be true, it is on account of the
dilution of the milk with city water, or
because germs were distributed by wash
ing the milk cans with city water. Oys
ters and contaminated vegetables are
sometimes the cause, but here I have ex.
ammed typhoid patients who have in no
way been exposed to contagion from such
sources and can only decide the water
supply to be the' direct cause of virtually
all the cases."
Mayor Mclntyre, being a well read phy
sician himself, is deeply interested in the
matter and the action of the city author
ities is eagerly awaited by the citizens.
