FRIsCo's MAYOR INDICTED.
Schnitz and Boss Abe Ruef Accused
of Extortion.


San Francisco, Nov. 16.-Mayor Eu-
gene Schmitz and Boss Abe Ruef were
indicted by the grand jury. Five
counts were returned against each, and
bail was fixed at $4,000 on each count.
The true bills were based on charges
of extortion in connection with the al
leged holding up of the French restau-
rant keepers for large 'sfee" for in
fiuencing the police commissioners to
restore licenses that had been revoked
on the ground that the restaurants
were improper places.
Several proprietors of French restau-
rants told the grand jury OF the fund
contributed by them to retain" Ruef.
Former Police Commissioners Rea-
gan, Drinkhouse, Poehm and Hutton
We're also examined by the grand jury,
and it is believed their testimony,
especially that of Reagan, revealed the
conspiracy to hold up the French res
taurants. Reagan charged that Schmitz
hatched the plot himself. Other In
dictments are expected.
The Indictment Of Ruef was expect
ed by the public, but the latter was
not prepared for immediate action
against Mayor Schmitz, who is now on
the Atlantic ocean, returning from
visit to Europe
The French restaurants, which were
all destroyed by the April confagra-
top, were for two years the cause Of
bitter. attacks from the pulpit and the
press. The agitation for their suppress
sion resulted IN orders being issued
which deprived them of licenses. They
