Attorneys VIII Be
Cited for Contempt

AS result of the failure of Marcus
Rosenthal, Emilio Lastreto and Frank
Burke, the three attorneys who re-
fused to answer questions put to them
when they appeared as witnesses be-
fore the Grand Jury, to agree to ac-
cept an informal decision by Judge
Murasky regarding their cases as final,
formal action citing them to show
cause why they should not be held in
contempt of court will be commenced
the first of the week by Assistant
District Attorney Heney.
Lastreto refused to answer ques-
lions relating TO the brothel at $40
Jackson street or produce the books of
torney OF the owners of the Infamous
house and that his knowledge of its
affairs was matter given to him in
confidence as an attorney; Rosenthal
pleaded similar justification for his
refusal TO testify concerning Max Adj
Ter, and Burke refused on like grounds
to make statements concerning the
Belvedere music hall.
Heney has declared that he will in
stitute contempt proceedings at once
Afhdavits will be filed the early part
of the week setting forth the Ques-
lions which the three refused to an
swer, and the court will be asked to
make an order citing them to appear
and show cause why they should not
be adjudged in contempt of court. The
case will be argued from this stand
point and the decision made final.

Schmitz May Request
Hearing Before Jury

Mayor Schmitz has not assumed ac-
tive direction of the citys affairs. He
will rest until Monday, when he will
take up his work again. It is known
that the Mayor desires to go before
the Grand Jury to make a statement.
He has not been subpenaed. but he may
request a hearing. Such a request
could be granted or denied as the
Grand Jury desired. There would be
no desire TO hear the Mayor, unless
upon SOME specific charge. In case ne
should go before the jury to present
his side of any point at issue, he would
lay himself open to cross-examination
at the hands of Heney. The Mayor has
no desire to cross swords with Heney
at this time.
The report that the Ruef- Schmitz
partnership is on the point of dissolu-
ton is ridiculed by the principals and
their friends. Ruef and Schmitz were
in conference last night. They dis
cussed in general the charges against
them and outlined their defense.
The Mayor is anxious to retaliate
upon the men who have instigated and
aided the investigation which has re-
suited in his disgrace. He and Ruef
have put their heads together to devise
system Of reprisals.

TRAIN KILLS YAQUL,
ROAD TIED Up

TUCSON, A. T.. Nov. 3o-The Sonora
Railroad, which is the southern extern
sion of the Southern Pacific system
from Nogales. A. T., to Guaymas, State
of Sonora, Mexico, is completely tied up
as result of a strike which has as
it's object the securing of the release
of Jesse M. Reitz, now held at Hermo-
sillo on charge of manslaughter.
Reitz was the engineer Of a passen-
ger train which killed Yaqui Indian
while the latter was walking on the
track near Hermosillo Saturday. The
engineer was arrested and at a pre-
liminary hearing Tuesday was held for
trial in default of $4,000 bail.
By preconcerted arrangement, all
trains the road were pulled into
Hermosillo yesterday and abandoned by
the crews, who refuse to move the
trains until Reitz is released. No train
men can be induced to cross the line
from Nogales to help break the strike.
American Consul Brickwood of No
gales and Vice Consul Hostetter of Her
mosillo are working on the matter.
Representations have been made to the
authorities at Washington, D. c., and at
the City of Mexico.

To ORGANIZE NAVY
IN TWO FLEETS
Ships of Battle Line for
Atlantic, Cruisers and
Gunboats for the Pacific
IN EFFECT JANUARY /

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.--The COM
pleted plans for the organization of the
fighting vessels of the navy in two
fleets for service on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of the United States in
scuh manner that the whole force may
be readily modified in cases OF emer-
gency is announced by Rear Admiral
Converse. chief of the bureau of navi-
cation of the Navy Department., in his
annual report, which was made public
today. The concentration of the battle
fleet in the American waters and the
assignment of all vessels in feet to
the command of one flag officer will be
completed about January l next
Rear Admiral Converse said that ow-
ing to our responsibilities in the Phil
ippines and the Far East generally an
adequate naval force is needed in the
Pacific Ocean. The assignment of the
ships of the battle line is to Atlantic
waters. and of cruisers and gunboats
to Pacific waters, in accordance with
the present strategic requirements. The
tentative assignment of vessels is as
follows:
Atlantic heet-First squadron, first division:
Connecticut. Louisiana. Maine, Missouri second
division: Georgia. New Jersey, Rhode Island.
Virginia; second squadron. third division; Ala
hama Illinois, Kearsarge, Kentucky: fourth
division: Ohio, Indiana, Iowa; third squadron,
sixth division: Columbia. Des Moines, Cleveland,
Tacoma fourth squadron, seventh division:
Dixie Barietta. SNewport, Don Juan de Austria;
eighth division: Prairie, Dubuque, Paducah,
Scorpion.
The seventh and eighth divisions will be held
in reserve until their services are no longer re-
CURED for police and patrol duty. In reserve,
Second torpedo hotilla-Hopkins, Lawrence,
MacDonough W3ippie ITn1tan, Moraen. IR ad
gers, Stockton.
Asiatic aeet-First squadron, first division:
rado; second division: Baltimore, Chattanooga.
Galveston. Cincinnati; second squadron, third
division Raleigh, Concord, Helena, Wilmington;
fourth division: Callao. Ell Cano, Quiry, vilabos;
coast defense: Monterey, Monadnock; first tor
pedo hotillo: cambridge, Barry, Dale, Chauncey,
Decatur
Pacific soIadron-First division: Charleston.
Milwaukee, Albany, New Orleans; second divi-
sion: Chicago, Yorktown. Boston. Princeton !;
fourth torpedo fotilla: Preble. Paul Jones' Perry,
Farragut. Goldsborough, Rowan.
At an early date it is expected that
the Asiatic fleet and the Pacific squad
ron will be merged into one Pacific
feet, under. the supreme command of a
flag officer of the highest rank, in the
same manner as the Atlantic fleet is
now organized.
The bureau of navigation is making
every endeavor to secure battleship
strength of sixteen in the Atlantic feet,
divided into squadrons, which will fur
nish every opportunity for the practice
of battle tactics and will enable the
higher officers to acquire facility In
their exercise of large fleet and in
maneuvering one homogeneous squadron
against another.
