SCHMI7Z DENIES ALL.
VIII Hurry to San Francisco to Face
Charges Against Him.

New York, Nov. 23.-Mayor Schmitz
of San Francisco, who arrived here to-
day on the steamship Patricia, said
there was absolutely no truth in the
charges made against him and that he
will go to San Francisco and court the
fullest inquiry.
When the Patricia arrived at quar-
antine Mr.. Schmitz was shown news
papers containing reports OF the charges
against him in San Francisco. He said:
There is not a scintilla Of truth in
the charges, the fact is it is an attack
made against me by my political enc
mics because 1 made a strong fight
against District Attorney Langdon, who
was defeated for governor His friends
are now taking their revenge.
1T is an odd statement for a big
man to make but it is a fact, that my
nerves were so affected after the long
and trying time we had passed through
that I made this trip abroad. I had in
tended to sail for home on December
Is, expecting to arrive in san Francisco
about New Years day. My friends
were to give me a big reception and I
suppose these people put this up to pre-
vent it.
Hearing that they were attacking
expected. 1 did not know of these
charges until today, after the pilot
came on board. I shall court the strict
est inquiry and as promptly as posi-
BILE. I want it. / can only say that 1
have a clear conscience in this matter
and where guilt does not exist l have
nothing to fear. / shall go to the Wal
dorf-Astoria for a day and then go di-
rectly home"
Mrs. Schmitz accompanied the mayor.
No attempt TO arrest Mr.. Schmitz
was made when he came ashore from
the steamer. An automobile was wait
ing for him and he entered 1t and left
the dock at once, presumably TO go to
his hotel.

What the Papers Say.
The Leavenworth Times says edi-
torially:
Mr.. Coleman is a hypocrite in his
stand for the enforcement of all laws.
He would GUST mayors of cities for
failure to observe their oaths Of office
in the enforcement of the prohibitory
law, yet 1t Will be rem mem bered that
Coleman, too, perjured himself when
ne ignored the statutes OF Kansas gov
erning the way members of the Sol
diers' home should vote in primary
elections in his rotten decision in spite
Of the law, in the First district con-
gressional contest case"
The Atchison Globe says:
There is good deal of justice in the
present crusade against Kansas joints
because some of the joint keepers have
been very brazen and deaf to better
public sentiment. But the Atchison
joint keepers are not guilty; they have
conducted themselves so we'll that Ger
tainlY seven-tenths of the AtchisoE
people believe the present plan of Ii
censing a few joints and carefully reg
ulating them is better than would be
a system of boOtlegging and bhndpigs.
The records show that for six
months past there has rot been an av-
erage of one case a week in the police
court for drunkenness; that since Feb
ruary there has been only one case OF
in Atchison and this cul-
prit is now serving time in the peniten-
tiary. AtchisOn is the best behaved
town of it's size in the west: there is
no charge of Doodle here, and we can
name at least two prominent Atchisor
ministers who believe in the present
Atchison policy of handling the liquor
question, for the reason that there IS
less drunkenness and disorder here THAN
IN other towns of similar size.
But the reckless joint keepers else
where have started trouble and proba-
bly, Atchison, we'll behaved as 1t is, Will
not escape"
