Chairman Schweppe of the regatta committee was angry, and shouted to Harriman in terms that the latter could not mistake.

Admitting that Sonntag had for- mally proposed this action to 'the members of the police commission in his presence, District Attorney Lang- don declared yesterday that Sonntag had acted solely on his own initiative in the matter and that both himself and Foreman Oliver of the grand jury had informed the ‘police ~commission that Sonntag’s plan was not: indorsed by elther the district attorney’s office or the grand jury as a whole. The publication in The Call yesterday of the fact that Sonntag had asked the police commission to act in the Dinan case brought out the full detalls of a difference of opinion existing befween himself and the other members of the grand jury and the graft prosecutors concerning the best method to be adopted in replacing Dinan with a man considered more competent to handle the affairs of the police department. Sonntag’s proposal that. Dinan be given an extended leave of absence wae made at a secret executive session of the police commission called to in- vestigate charges made by nonunion carmen arrested after the Turk street riots several weeks ago that they had been misused by members of the police force. The session was held prior to a regular meeting of the commission and Langdon, Sonntag and Foreman Oliver of the grand jury were present, Sonn- tag representing the police committee of the grand jury. The matter under consideration brought Dinan’s name into the discussion and it was then that Sonntag arose and declared that Dinan should be removed from office for the good of the police department and the city as a whole. He sug- gested the extended leave of absence and mentioned the name of Colonel Wilhelm as the man who should be selected to fill the vacancy. Langdon at once took the floor and informed the commission that heaid not indorse Sonntag’s proposal and that in making it the latter was not speak- ing as a representative of the district attorney's office. Oliver followed him with a similar statement in behalf of the grand jury. Sonntag was naturally chagrined at this ‘unexpected repudia- tion of n--umnm the affalr led the grand jury .M tendance, but Mr. Sonntag only his individual opinion in ‘i -uch-n‘mnmmmm with any authority from either my| office or the grand jury.

A. Moore and FEarl Rogers Engage in Row With Heney Over a Witness By George A. Van Smith “Shyster!” “Rascal!” ' “Liar!” Those were the epithets bandied by Francis J. Heney and A. A. Moore in Judge Lawlor’s court yesterday. They resulted in a severe reprimand from the court, forced apologies to the court from the principals and subsequently required the effortsyof the sheriff and his deputies to prevent a general engagement at fisticuffs after the judge had left the bench. ’ The morning hours, devoted to a further consideration of the motions' to set aside the indictments against the.United Railroads officials-and Louis Glass, were enlivened by an exchange of bitter personalities such as would involve pistols in the south and impris- onment for contempt in an eastern court. Francis' J. Heney called A. A. Moore, chief of counsel for the United Railroads officials, first a shyster, later a liar and ultimately offered to whip Moore, his son, Stanley Moore, and Earl Rogers of counsel, who had interjected himself as a champion-and defender of the senior Moore. s The enraged-attorneys were kept apart only by the combined efforts of theif friends and the sheriff and his deputies, who man- aged to get the belligerents out of the courtroom, but only after the scene in the hall of justice had been transformed into the counter- part of a street brawl. The first war of words was promptly squelched by Judge Law- lor, but the offers of personal violence were precipitated by the judge, who before leaving the bench demanded retractions and threatened punishment for con- tempt if they were not forthcom- ing. The row was the culmination of a series of incidents arousing bad blood, directly or indirectly the result of the baiting methods employed by the senior Moore. . Inoffensive Assistant District Attorney Harrison furnished the motif for the row. Heney called Harrison to testify toincidents in Judge Graham’s court that have not been transcribed into the en-|| grossed minutes of that court. The' engrossed minutes of Judge the Brennan grand jury was ever discharged or that the Oliver grand jury ever received the oath of office. This, as was later proved, was due to error or inad- vertence on the part of the dqputy eounty clerk assigned to Graham's $1 prize to B. B. Bell, 2543 Pladwont :-bsn.l-afinb and coming.

Schmitz, con- | victed of extortion, appeared before Judge Dunne yester- day morning for sentence, ‘,but on motion of District At- torney Langdon judgment was postponed until July 6. | The request for delay on the part of the prosecution came as a distinct surprise, as it had been previously an- nounced that the district at- torney’s = office desired to lexpedite the proceedings against Schmitz. Judge Dunne’s acquiescence in the request for delay aroused the ire of the attorneys for the defense, and both William H: Metson and C. H. Fairall addressed the court with such warmth that they were warned from the bench. The request for delay, which was vigorously op- posed by the defense, as ex- plained by District Attorney Langdon, was for the purpose of giving the prosecution further time to decide om its course in the four other extortion indictments against Schmits. The prose- cution desires to reach a definite con- clusion In this matter before sentenca is imposed. It was explained by Lang- don that If Schmitz were brought to trial and convicted on the four other extortion charges it would probably make some difference In the sentence to be imposed in the case in which he has already been convicted. The prose- cution further desires to aveid any complication which might make sen- tence imposed up Schmits comcurrent. ‘The prosecution denied the report that the delay had been asked because it lfl-l-!.l.-.fl—. 5 'I'HI:'.CALL n-t-—w-wuu-—-v-—-r $5 prize to C.
