San Francisco, Dec. 1. Under the
direction of District Attorney Lang
don, search is being mado today for
"Big Jim" Gallagher, member of the
boodling board of supervisors under
the mayorality of Eugene Schmltz.
Gallagher, who was thfe prosecution's
star witness In the recent graft trial,
is subponaed to appear as a witness
In the Calhoun trial, which begins
December C. He has not been seen
in the city slnoa last Thursday.
Immediately upon hearing of Gal
lagher s disappearance, District At
torney Langdon instructed the police
to telegraph to all important Ameri
can cities. The authorities in Seat
tle, Portland, Denver, Chicago and
New Yorltwero told to watch for the
former supervisor. Detective William

departure to Europe,

Langdon is necessary at the
Calhoun trial. Langdon
" 't GallaKher. we can do
nothings xl the money in the trans
actlonsyMH make public in court,
went tlk 7h Gallagher's hands.
GallaghePTs our chief witness, and,
unless he returns, the prosecution of
the graft cases will bo seriously
affected.
"If wo jean find Gallagher wo will
make every effort to show him that
It is to his interest to return and livo
up to thie agreement we made with
him, in which he was granted very
valuable things In exchange for his
testimony. Wo will try to show him
the circumstances of his flight would
suggest that he had been persuaded
to go, and that the whole thing has
an unsavory odor to tho common
peoople."
Gallagher is said to have been
granted an "immunity contract" -in
return for his testimony in the trials
of his boodling confreres of the su
pervisorial board. Investigations by
deputies from the district attorney's
oeffle have convinced them that ho
started for New York, intending to
sail today for Europe on the liner
Mauretlna.

Togo Is a "Back Number."
Toklo, Dec. 1. Admiral Helhach
iro Togo, famous hero of tho Rus
sian war, practically went Into re
tirement when he was appointed
councillor of the navy. In Decem
ber, 1906, Admiral Togo was made
chief of the naval staff and since
that time has been active in directing
the policies and methods of the de
partment. A general shift went into
effect today, resulting in many
hcanges of assignment and posts.
Many promotions were made.
That Is, Indeed, Too Bad.
Washington, Dec. 1. In spite of
the importunities of those In charge
of the aviation week, planned for
Los Angeles next January, tho gov

a 70-mile-an-hour gale blowing the
undertaker refused to allow the
hearse to be driven to the cometery,

ran so high that tho coroner at Bay

of the town belloved that Mrs. Hold

Then several citizens called upon Mr.
Holdredge, husban dof tho woman,

cured his consent. At 2 o'clock this
morning tho party arrived at tho

Again the natural appearance of the

physicians present lost no time in
resorting to several tests. Tho first
was the carbolic acid test. An hy.

made in tho woman's arm. It did
not discolor tho flesh. Tho first
test had showed that life was ex

in tho woman's breast. If clrcula

was once more lowered into the
