RUEF MAY NOT
GET IMMUNITY
Langdon Angered at Result of
Second Conference With
Ruef and Burns.
DUNNE REBUFFS LANGDON
Says He Will Listen to Motions Made
in Open Court, but Will Sot Con-"
elder Any Proposition That Is
Made in the Chambers.
BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14. After a sec
ond conference between District Attorney
Iangdon and Detective Burns and Abra
ham Ruef, held late this afternoon. Mr.
Langdon would only say that the time is
not ripe for a public statement regarding
the matter of whether Ruef is to be
Granted absolute Immunity from prosecu
tion in return for telling all he knows
about the bribery charges on the witness
stand. Ruef also refused to say whether
the contract granting htm immunity had
been signed or not. Judge Dunne has
flatly refused to be a party to any such
agreement and it is believed that his atti
tude furnishes the reason for the silence
of the others at this time.
Speaking to the Associated Press after
Mr. Langdon had been In conference with
tilm. Judge Dunne said:
Dunne Will Not Commit Himself.
Th District Attorney today made certain
suggestions to me In regard to some motions
to which it seems Ruef wants my acquiescence.
I stated to Mr. Lanffdon that I will listen to
the suggestions of uny District Attorney, made
In open court. If I believe him to be honest,
well-advised and well-informed In the matter
and Ms suggestion Id In the Interest of Justice,
I will act upon it. But I will entertain no
motions in my chambers nor commit myself in
advance .to any step or arrangement, having
for Its object the immunity, wholly or par
tially, of any person charged with crime,
whether it be Ruef or. anyone else.
Following the continuance until next
Monday, at the request of the prosecution
of the bribery cases against Patrick Cal
houn and other officials of the United
Railroads, -which came up before Judge
J .a lor this morning, Langdon, Burns and
Ruof met in the corridors of the Temple
Israel and engaged In an animated con
versation. Langdon Angered at Decision.
After a few minutes, the three ad
journed to the. courtroom of Judge Dunne,
where the conversation was resumed in a
low tone. . Several times, Ruef, wiho had
in -Ills ..and a sheet of yellow paper to
which he frequently seemed to refer, drew
aside to confer with Attorneys Richard
O'Connor, Senator George B. Keene and
Honry Ach. of his counsel.
At the conclusion of the conference. Dis
trict Attorney Langdon entered Judge
Dunne's chambers. He came out in about
15 minutes and seemed to be anything but
pleased.
"1 have no statement to make now,
hut may have something to say later In
the day," said he briefly, as he left the
Temple, accompanied by Burns.

Governor Sparks Hints at It in
His Message.
SPECIAL SESSION CALLED
Governor Recommends That Garri
son Be Left at Gold field and That
Civil Power of the State
Be Greatly Increased.
CARSON, Xev., Jan. 14. The special
session of the Nevada Legislature called
by Governor Sparks, met at noon today.
After organization Governor Sparks' mes
sage was read. .In the Senate the ap
propriation bill of the session was passed.
The only important action taken was the
passage of resolution referring all bills
that may be introduced relative to state
rangers, constabulary or military, to a
special joint committee, consisting of the
judiciary committee with Senators OdrJie,
Campbell, Okane, Boyd and Pine, the
committee on military and Indian affairs,
consisting of Senators Oddie, Martin
and Loeklin, and . the Federal relation
committee, with Senators Brossmer, Eas
ton and Hunter.
The Governor will from day to day send
In a special message as it becomes neces
sary. Relieve Uoldfield Situation.
There was no attempt to introduce any
measures in the Assembly, and from the
action this morning, it seems the Senate
will lead in the matter of attempting to
regulate the affairs between miners and
the unions. , .
A conference of members of the
Senate is to be held to consider a bill
for "the -relief of the Goldfleld situa
tion. It is proposed to frame a bill
similar to the Pennsylvania consta
bulary law. The measure will call for
the appointment of a state warden
with power to appoint deputies in
time of need. The warden is to be ap
pointed by the Governor.
There is a question as to the legal
ity of the organization of the Assem
bly. The members, under a ruling from
the Attorney-General, organized with
out swearing in the Speaker. Robert
Skaggs. In the Senate all of the of
ficers were compelled to take the oath.
As there is a disposition to depose
Skaggs, in case of a re-opening the
question, it is expected that a lively
right, will be bad.
Slate Ranger Law Expected.
Governor Sparks, it' is thought, will
endeavor- to influence the passage of a
state ranger law similar to that of
Texas, as he has the Texas law at hand,
and it .has been read to a number of
the members. It is likely to meet with
strong opposition in the lower house,
where the labor unions have a strong
representation.
Senator Morehouse, formerly of Cali
fornia, now located in . Goldfleld. is in
attendance, representing the Goldfleld
Chamber of Commerce. This organization
is supporting Governor Sparks in his
action. Both houses adjourned at 1
o'clock until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Following is the text of the Governor's
message:
The Governor's Message.
As indicated in till call Issued to the
members, bearing date of December 30, 1907.
the object and purpose, now to be stated.
Is legislative action conpeming contentions
between labor unions and mine operators In
the mining districts of Goldfleld. From
statements presented by reliable citizens,
representing both Eides of the controversy,
and from my own personal knowledge out
side from frequent visits to Goldfleld. for
the purpose of using such Information as
I possessesd, to prevent loss and trouble
occasioned by strikes, a letter of inquiry was
Indited by myself and Attorney-General
Stoddard to rreident Roosevelt, explaining
conditions according to Information, and
asking If he could consistently send United
States troops to Goldfleld for the purpose of
suppressing riots or violence In case such
should occur In said mining district. The
President promptly and ktndly replied that
he w-ould. providing that proper application
be made, stating the requirements, which
were complied with, and the troops came
immediately, under instructions not to in
terfere with the civil authorities so long as
they were able to preserve order.

honorable bodies would by petition prevail
on. the President to retain the . troops at
Uoldfteld temporarily, if not permanently;
and. further, that a military post be estab

will meet the approval of a majority of our
citizens.
It Is also apparent that a law- should be
enacted regulating t'.ie police power of the

Recommends President Be Thanked
Regarding the foregoing as a matter of
paramount importance for the security and
safety of valuable business interests, and
calculated to relreve the anxiety of the
people of this state, as well as many In
vestors residing in other states, I respect
fully present your honorable bodies the sub
ject as deserving of careful investigation
that equal and exact justice may be guar
anteed to all respecters of the law and
order, and those who prefer to be violators
may be held severely amenable.
X hojfia that your deliberations will result
In harmonious action and redound to the
benefit of all concerned by discarding from
your minds political advantage and preju
dice and devote your strength to the pro
motion of public welfare and common good.
In recognition of President Roosevelt's
liberal and generous, favor extended to Ne

us in the solution of our present difficulties,
and furnishing Federal troops to preserve
law and order, I recommend that bu ex

CONFERS WITH BANKERS
Local Financiers Heartily Indorse
Plan Proposed try Senator Ful
ton's Bill Now Before Congress.
City's Advantages Are Many.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 14. Senator Fulton intro
duced a bill to create a subtreasury at
Portland and authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to appoint an assistant
treasurer and other officers and secure
rooms and vaults until permanent quar
ters can be provided.
. The securing of a United States Sub
treasury in Portland is a matter that is
being given serious consideration by
prominent members of the Commercial
Club. A committee composed pi B. j
Thompson, C. S. Jackson and B. S. Josse
lyn has been in conferepce with several
of the local bankers regarding the proj
ect. The Oregon delegation in Congress
has already been urged to lend ifs as
sistance In securing such an institution,
and a bill was introduced in Congress by
Senator Fulton yesterday. "Portland Is
considered to be an Ideal location for a
Subtreasury. by reason of the large ter
ritory tributary to it, the other Subtreas
uries in the West being located at San
Francisco and Ienver.
Portland is the largest city of the Pa
cific Northwest, and the commercial cen
ter of Oregon, Idaho and three-fourths of
Washington. The completion of the North
Bank road and the Lewiston-Riparia ex
tension of the O. R. & N. will etrengthen
Portland's position in this regard.
Following are the opinions expressed by
several of the local bankers regarding
the establishment of a Subtreasury:
J. C. Alns worth In regard "to the estab
lishment of a Subtreasury in this city, I
believe from the geographical location of
Portland that we have the besc situation
for such an institution: more particularly
as the new North Bank road, which is'
being completed, will make us the most
central city in our Northwest territory.
Aside from this.. Portland was the first
reserve city north of San Francisco, and
all of the Northwest cities, including Ta
Coma, . Seattle and Spokane, carry their
reserve funds with us.
