NO DEAL WITH
CALHOUN GOES,
SAYS LAWLOR
Judge Again Declines to Dismiss
the Cases Against Graft
Defendants
Declares No Arrangement With
Fickert Shall Control the
Courfs Action
'The charge that District Attorney
J-ickert has an "arrangement" -with
Patrick Calhoun and the three other of
ficials of the\United Ilailroads indicted
for bribery to bring about the dismissal
<Jt s tlic eases was made by Judge Lawlor
.yesterday. Fickert angrily protested
against what he termed the gratuitous
insinuations of the "court, but was
sternly directed by the judge to cease
Jalking. In a further exchange Judge
Lawlor referred to "the peculiar cir
.ouiustances surrounding the district at
torney's office."'
:'. : The tilt between the court and the
district attorney followed the refusal
:-of Judge Laulor to grant a motion
•.fhade by Attorney Stanley Moore to
\u25a0HiJßC&lss all the indictments against Cal
•-noun, Tirey L. l-'ord. Thornwell Mul
..laily and William Abbott. Fickert,
. .ivjiose motion to the same effect was
videni/ed by the court some months ago,
. : announced that lie had nothing to offer
Jin- opposition to Moore's motion.
.:\u25a0; .After citing the law relative to the
; dismissal of indictments, Judge Lawlor
; isajd:
'..\u25a0". The court is of the view that as
y^.f-ar as the determination of the aio
•': tion itself is concerned the onus
•••.; 'is on the people to show good cause
.-; .which would take the case out of
.;.• the operation of the constitutional
.provision and the .statute. In the
". view which the court takes of the
:\u25a0\u25a0.' -general attitude of thp district at
j torncy the court feels that this is a
\u25a0\u25a0,';Gase where it must act. and to the
"' Extent that may be needed, to pro
\u25a0\-tect the public interests. The
-'• . Viourt has judicial notice of the his
. Tory of the charges against these
; ::.:'four defendants. It knows ju
'•\u25a0 dicially that a. material, and, it is
:. : '- claimed, an indispensable witness to
-..l'he prosecution of tliese charges is
";\u25a0 -without the jurisdiction of this
..;•' State. It is not prepared, on any
V-.-..evidence before it. to charge the re
;-. .sponsibility of the absence of that
-- -;. witne«s either to the former admin
r'v-istration or the present administra
..- I lion in the district attorney's office,
i '. • It Is not the intention of the
:: v-'t-ourt to disregard the rights of
• \u25a0 ".•this or any other defendant, but it
;\u25a0;.-'»»\u25a0 likewise the disposition of the
;..•"\u25a0 c-o.urt to see that the public inter
\u25a0>:jesta are safeguarded, and that no
'\u25a0•arrangement between the defendant
:.". and the sworn officer of the law
" -shall be suffered to direct and con
. trol the action of this court. And
\u25a0'\u25a0 in that view of the matter the
• court has reached the conclusion
that it is its duty to continue these
causes further to see whether the
.-..missing witness can be secured.
. ' The determination of the pend
ing motion is continued till 10
. a. m., Thursday. July 14, 1910.
FICKKRT MAKES BEPIVY'
.." Fickert was on his feet immediately
:«fter the judge ceased speaking. He
said:
; : "- I desire to take an exception to
: the remarks of your honor about
•" nn arrangement being made be
;' ' tween the defendants and the dis
• v trict attorney's office. Your honor
has, on different occasions, gratu

\u25a0';' which I do not intend to stand for.

':;\u25a0 Just a moment. Mr. District At
tbrney. When I direct you to cease
' 'you will do so. Every statement I
• \u25a0 .have, made I have made advisedly.
'" I intend, when the proper time
" \u25a0\u25a0' comes, to place in the records of
;' this case the court's judicial views
;\u25a0 as to the situation in which the

• I do not propose to do that, how
' -ever, until I have given you an op

T • fondants is well founded. And at

Tjiidge would refrain from "any such

'V Attorney A. A. Moore then voiced an
'' rejection to the court taking the mo

f- To this Judge Lawlor replied:

which is planning ball.
it has. The statement made by
counsel in refernce to 'the action
of the court would be soundly made
under, conventional circumstances,
but the court is not dealing with
such.
BASIS OF MOTIOX;
The motion to dismiss which pre
cipitated the judge's criticism of the
district attorney was made upon the
ground that the cases had been con
tinued more than 60 days last past
without the consent and over the ob
jections of the defendants. For half
an hour Stanley Moore cited law and
precedent in support of the motion, and
then Judge Lawlor asked District At
torney Fickert to state his position.
Fickert replied that the only reason
that could be advanced for further con
tinuing the cases was the absence of
James L. Gallagher from the state, and
continued:
I at this time do not wish to
assume responsibility for his dis
appearance. Whether he shall .re- •
turn or not I can not say. Ido
not believe that the district attor
ney's office would be justified in .
asking for a continuance of this
cas.? until the return of James L.
Gallagher, and upon the testimony
and upon the law as. stated here by
Mr. Moore I am willing to submit
the matter to your honor's judg
ment. ' , :'
Judge Lawlor then pronounced his
decision, referring to the "arrange
ment" between the district .attorney
and the defendants. _,

THE SAN PRANCISCO CAIiU
ROBERT McCREARY
SUED FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. .Fannie C. McCreary, sister of
Henry J. Crocker, who for nearly live
years has lived apart from her hus
band, Robert C. McCreary, filed suit
for divorce yesterday. "Although Mrs.
McCreary is. worth upward of $100,000
in her own right, the ground upon
which she seeks divorce is her hus
band's failure to provide her with the
common necessaries of life.
McCreary is in Arizona, where he
went at the time he left, his wife in
1905. Mrs. McCreary has been abroad
several years, but recently returned to
San Francisco. She is a daughter of
the. late Judge Clark W. Crocker of
Sacramento, and from him inherited her
property. Mrs. -W. C. Van Fleet, wife
of Judge Van Fleet, and Mrs. Fred
Green are her sisters. | The late Mrs.
Samuel Buckbee was another sister.
- McCreary is a member, .of the well
known family of Sacramento. He mar
ried Miss Crocker in this city April
18, 1896. They have no children.

TWO HEARTS BEAT AS
ONE IN POLICE COURT
"Two souls with but a single thought;
two 'hearts that beat as one," mur
mured Police Judge Conlan yesterday
when two men-namid John F. Heart,
charged with vagrancy were called,
but only one answered.
"Where were you arrested?" asked
the judge, and Heart replied, "I don't
know: I was drunk."
Policeman" Heaghney was the arrest
ing officer in one case and Policeman
O'Kcefe in the other. They both de
clared that the man in the dock was
the person they arrested, which deep
ened the mystery. The cases were con
tinued until today, when • Policeman
Healy, who was on tha patrol wagon
yesterday, will be asked to appear to
see if he can throw any light on the
mystery.
LABOR LEADERS TO
MEET MISS MORGAN
\ \u25a0. • \u25a0 ;
Notable Gathering in Interest of
Working Women to Be
Held at Palace
Continuing her work in behalf of the
working , woman, even whilo on a sup
posed pleasure trip, Miss Anne Morgan,
the daughter of J. Pierpoht Morgan,
/willrinect . with a number of the labor
leaders and the women workers of the
city Wednesday evening. to discuss the
formation of a woman's label league.
The i gathering will be at the Palace
hotel and among those who are work
ing busily to insure a goodly attend
ance are Miss Maude Younger, vice
president of the waitresses* -union, the
other officers of that organization. Mrs.
Elizabeth Gerberding and Andrew J.
Gallagher, secretary of the San Fran
cisco labor council. ; ...
Miss Morgan is deeply interested in
the progress of unionism among women
and the label league goes for the
spread of the trades union among all
branches of women workers. She will
address the gathering Wednesday
evening-, setting forth something of the
advantages gained from it in the east
ern cities and will explain its method
and conduct. Speeches will be made
also by leading labor and social work
ers of the city and it is probable that
a general discussion will follow. Def
inite steps may be taken also for the.
formation of the league, although that
may be deferred until a later date.
Miss Morgan is strongly averse to
publicity as to her work in behalf of
working women and to only a few has
she confided her plans for the campaign
she will conduct here.
She leaves for the east in a few days,
but she will take time before her de
parture to make a thorough investiga
tion of the condition of working <women
here. She is an officer of the National
civic league, which has a branch on
this coast and which deals with* the
amelioration of the lot of the laborer
from the s.ide of the employer and the
man of wealth.
Mrs. William H. Crocker, president
of the California section of the Civic
league, is in Europe at present, but
Miss Morgan will, it is said, look into
its .work here with other officers.

Piano Selling
To every purchaser of a piano at any Allen store,
whether it be in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Reno,
\u25a0 . Nev., San Diego, Portland, Ore., Santa Rosa, or at
any of our many branches or agencies, is accorded the
same courteous treatment, the same square deal, and
the highest possible value at the price paid. There are
no haphazard methods, no misunderstandings,' and no
misrepresentations are made by any manager or salesman
in our gigantic organization. Every customer is fairly,
squarely dealt with, every piano truthfully represented,
and sold for just what it is and with a positive guarantee
as to its quality and its permanent value.
jrii Buying a piano at our House is a safe and sane in-

quality, no misgiving as to price, no doubt as to the
durability of the piano, or the character and integrity of
•the House of which it is purchased. Whether it is an in-
strument at $200 or one of the highest priced on our
floors, it is honestly represented and its value un-
