San Francisco, Oct. 26. flpss Abe Rucf's daring
coup by which he attempted to- stop die investigation of
alleged municipal graft through the summary removal,
by Acting Mayor Gallagher, of District Attorney Lang
don and his assistant, Francis J. Heney, and the appoint
ment of Ruef as district attorney, has come to naught

pervisors from interfering with the office of the district at
torney. The order is made returnable November 2, by
which time the investigation before the grand jury, which

SMI Franc hsOO. Oct. t Early thla
morning, traveling on a special train.
Dlatriot Attorney Langdon, wbo haa
bean stumping th Sacramento valley In
hla campaign aa gubernatorial nominee
of the Independence league, arrived in
the city, determined to fight to the last
ditch for possession of the office from
which he claim he waa Illegally
ousted by order of Abe Reuf last night.
Langdon at once took possession of
the office, where under his Instructions
the deputies had remained all night.
At the first warning of the action taken
by the mayor, all the Important papers,
particularly those bearing on the graft
cases now being prepared, were removed
to a aafe place, where Ruef fend the
mayor could not get access to them
even If they should force their wsy Into
th office. No attempt was made by
Ruef or his supporters to get posses

(Jour ml special sarrtee.
Washington, Oct. it. Serious con
sideration is being given the Japanese
situation today at the cabinet meeting.
Although matters have not reached the
"strained relation" stage there is no
concealing the fact that, the adminis
tration Is worried. Each nation has
practically accused the other of violat
ing treaty rights.
Plans were considered today for
working out the problem In San Fran
cisco. Authorities there declare that
only a lark of facilities causes the ex
clusion of Japanese children from
school. The question now In court Is
as to whether or not the federal govern
ment has Jurisdiction to Interfere In
stats and municipal affairs.
Suit was (lied yesterday In the fed
eral court of San Francisco to enjoin
the board of education from removing
certain Japanese students. If the su
preme court upholds the. Injunction the
authority of the government In the
premises will be assured.

Immediately upon appearing at hla of

and the Supervisors until November I.
At least there Is nothing Ruef can do
until that time to carry out last night's
action except by force of arms, and wt

It Is I thought that the government
Is already in communication with Call

Red Cross fund be used In Japanese
schools.
The Jspsnsse government has de
manded that the United States . see
that the Japanese subjects In Califor

der the treaty of 1894, Including the
rights of children to freely sttepd the
public schools Of San Francisco.
The action against the Japanese chil
dren Is regarded as extremely serious
by Viscount Aokl, and he made no at
tempt to conceal the fact.
"After all the years of friendship be
tween the two natlona It seems too bad
that ths poor. Innocent Japanese school
children should be subjected to such In
dignities." said the ambassador. "Such
acttcn by the local authorltlea In this
country Is resented very bitterly by all
Japanese."
