' San Francisco, March 11. In a state ment Jsaued District Attorney. Langdon furnishes some startling facta, concern ing the prosecution of municipal graft ers. He said! i . , The publlo has Uttl Idea, of how widely the ramifications of municipal graft in this city extend. I can say that with th Indictments returned so far w have only mad a beginning of tha vast work that Ilea before us. - "It Is my opinion -that 'the man who tempts a publlo' official with a bribe la far mora of a criminal ' and more dan gerous - to society than the man who takes the bribe, and every bribe giver of ' whloh th prosecution .has any knowledge shall be brought to th bat of Justice and punished for his crime, if there la any law in the land to do it. Information already in our possession shows us that the graft scandal In volves a much' greater number of people than th publlo haa any Idea ef. . , Hilars of Charon Oullty. - "The tentacles of th graft octopus extend In all directions and it is Impos sible for. us to forecast where th In vestigation may end. . Men of highest social and business' standing in th community, who pose as pillars of the church and society are Implicated in th scandal. And In each case th prosecu tion will follow them to th end and ex pose them.

I am going to pk a special ap propriation from tha . board of , super visors to pay th Increased expenses of th district attorney's office resulting from th graft prosecution." From another source It is learned that Heney and Burna hav brought the trail of th grnfft scandal close to high of ficials. They are on a new track now which rune very near the door of Wil liam F.
