referred to as a schoolteacher who didnt know the difference between fan tan and old maid But San Francisco has found that the district attorney knows his business He has jailed one of the biggest gangs of grafters ever put be hind the bars in this country and done it when especially at the outset every thing seemed to be against him When he began his reform work he could not get any money to carry it on be cause the city administration under Mayor Schmitz was opposing him It was then that Rudolph Spreckels came to the rescue In telling how this hap pened Mr Langdon said Rudolph Spreckels offered all the money we wanted I asked him what he wanted He told me nothing When lie said he wanted nothing the district attorney continued I ask- 1 Will you stick no matter where 1 this thing leads
