Tits At BINGHAM.
Mr. LittIeton Says Schmittberger
Charges Are Result of Conspiracy.

The trial of Inspector schmittberger was re-
sumed yesterday afternoon at Police Headquar-
ters. In the course of the examination of Ser
geant McNaught, ex-Borough President Little
ton. of Brooklyn, Schmittbergers counsel. de-
clared with emphasis that the charges against
his client were the result of a conspiracy in the
department which he would unearth The Police
Commissioner and Mr.. Litteton had lively tilt
when Inspector Cortright was put on the stand
Mr. Littleton wanted a direct opinion from
Cortright about the charges against Schmitt-
berger. The Commissioner refused TO allow
Cortright 70 answer though he did later on This
made Mr.. Littleton angry and he declared again
that the charges were the result of a conspiracy,
because Schmittbergers three enemies-Mc-
Naught. Becker and Faubel-were put on his
track
DO you think that Chief Inspector Cortright
is one Of the conspirators?" asked Commissioners
Bingham,
NO. don't believe that he would have any,
thing to do with it," replied Mr. Littetor. Il
am satisfied that the charges were mada against
the defendant by order of Deputy Commissioner
Mathot"
why not name the conspirators?" continued
the Commissioner.
''It seems to me that the Police Department
has made up its mind TO get rid OF Inspector
Schmittberger and the only qcestion is who
was assigned to the work in which Deputy
Mathot was Indignantly active" said Mr. Lit
Teton.
DO you charge or claim that Cortright's
signing of the Schmittberger charges, even if by
Mr.. Mathot's orders, established a link in the
chain Of evidence?" asked General Bingham.
II certainly do replied Mr.. Littleton.
The question was then allowed. and Chief In
spector Cortright said he had signed the charges
by order OF Mr.. Mathot, and that he did not
know whether the allegations which they
tained were true or false
When the Commissioner volunteered a state
ment that he had directed Cortright TO send a
report Of the charges to him, Mr.. Littleton con-
tended that the trial commissioner had become
a witness In the case and ought to submit 10
cross-examinat!on. He wanted TO know then
what If anything, wrong with Schmitt-
berger's report. but the Commissioner declined
TO answer
Sergeant McNaught put on the stand
again and Mr. Littleton tried 10 get him to
admit that he had been arrested and spent sew
eral days in jail a charge Of swindling pool
room men, and that, therefore, he had been
guilty of a perjury when he applied 10 get on
the Police Department Mcknight, however
evaded a direct answer declaring that he could
not remember being arrested or being in iaD
He did admit being mixed up In pooroom
case but said ii was only as a witness.

of the gravity OF the situation, owing
TO the fact that President Roosevelt
has not power 10 coerce California, 1t
Is foolish TO suggest that Japan would

past, her rulers will be able to make
large allowances for the difficulties
OF America, and as President Roose-
