JOINT TRIAL PROCEEDS.
Court Refuses to Rule on Motions to
Dismiss Indictments at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 19.-When tho
case of Mayor Scfmitz and. Abraham
Reuf charged with extortior of money
was called today Attorney Campbell on
behalf of Mayor Schmitz asked Judge
Dunno to rule on the motion made YES
terday to dismiss the Indictment. so that
a demurrer might be filed and the mayor
proceed to trial.
Il cannot rule on that indictment until
the codefen1aDt Rucf complete his ex-
amination of the grand jury" answered
the court. "Schmitz and Ruef. as CO.
defendants. elected to make their defence
together" he said
Attorney Campbell denied that any
such agreement had been reached. He
asserted that when the motion to set
aside was made it was announced tha.
the defendants might separate if they
saw fit to do so. ''They will keep the
grand jury in the court house until after
the end of its year" declared Assistant
District Francis J. Heney. "They have
planned to do that very thing"
Attorney Campbell surprised the court
by stating that the motion to dismiss
applied to indictment No. 300 and had no
reference to the other four indictments
charging the mayor with extortion. The
first witness today was Jacob Garflnkle.

When the members of the fire de-

ladders in position and in a few mo-

1t is said that since the decision re.
ferred to, the practice has been put in
force by regulation of issuing dis.
charges without honor. in which there
can be no re-enlistment without exec
utire permission. =
In concluding. however, Sec. Taft de-
clares that there is nothing in this
precedent which, in the slightest de-
gree. affects the legality OF the present
order, for the principle upon which the
decision rests recognizes fully the COM

They were aided by the fact that only

flying sparks ignited nearby dwellings
but the brigade was too quick for them
and in every case prevented the fire
from spreading. When the fire was

to a different conclusion of fact from
that already stated in his annual re-
port. The affidavits." says he, Con
tain in substance the same denials of
completely or knowledge by the enlist
ed men that were made to the inspect
ing officers. together with evidence in
tended to show that there was an
opportunity for persons not in the
battalion to disguise themselves in the
cast-Off uniforms of the enlisted men
and to secure empty cartridge belts
and throw them on the streets of the
town. The suggestion, he declared. is
so grotesque in it's improbability and
absurdity as hardly to call for discus
sion or comment
After stating that it is not the prac-
tice of the inspector general in making
to set out all the evidence in sworn af-
ndaVltS or dispositions, Sec. Taft
quotes from the fourth article of war,
which he states contains the statutory
direction in respect to the discharge of
soldiers. The regulations adopted by
the President in carrying out this
statutory provision as well as excerpts
from various decisions of the Judge
advocate general of the army bearing
on discharges without honor, also are
quoted. the secretary adding:
From the citations above given it
follows that one enlisting in the army
is advised, first that the President has
the right at will to terminate the con-
| tract Of enlistment; second. that when
the contract of enlistment is term-
mated at will the President may prop
erly show on the discharge that the
service Which has been rendered has
not been such as to warrant re-enlist-
ment and, therefore, is not to be re-
garded as honest and faithful. permit
ting re-enlistment under the statute"
In answer to the contention which
the secretary says has been put forth
that the President had no power to
make the order of discharge because,
if he has. he may disband the army"
1t is argued that there Is a clear dis
tinction between dsbanding COM
pany. a battalion or a regiment, and

bers. In the case of the men of the 25th

Immediately upon the discharge Of the
men an order was issued filing up the

| that the entity and service of the COM
panies are continued in the army"
Secretary Taft instances a case
| where some men of the 4th Cavalry
unused to the passion of the violence
by the killing Of one Of their number,
lynched the person charged with the
crime" In that case, he says, the judge
advocate maintained that there was no
evidence to fix the responsibility for
the act. and that the secretary Of war
strictly speaking. had no authority to
disband the companies involved as
such. He held further that che may in
deed discharge all the men Of such
companies. enlisting others In their
