tho past week In San Francisco. un-
der the tuition Of Francis ]. Heney.
this afternoon found separate indict-
ments against Mayor Eugene Schmitz
and Abraham Ruef on charges of ex-
tortlon. The first alleged crime was
committed in connection with the
Poodle Dog restaurant. and the in
dIetmcn, recltes that Abe Rucf and
Mayor SchmItz demanded money from
Tony nlaneo, proprietor OF the res-
taurant. and his business would be
closed unless he complied with the
demand. AZ this demand, Il is stat
ed. was made on two occasions. two
indictments were returned.
Extortion Is also declared to have
been practlced upon Ed Marchand.
proprietor OF the Marchand restnur-
ant, and the demand was made twice
and two indictments were returned.
Demands were also made upon Joe
Malfanti. another restauranter. and
were made frequently, and for this
attempt nifty indictments were re-
turned. After reading the indictments
Ruef was arrested and arraigned be-
fore Judge Muraski. who fixed his
bail at 10000 or $1,000 cash. As
soon M Mayor Schmitz returns from
his European trip, probably next week.
he will be met Mt the train by the
sheriff and arrested.
The grand Jury are still continuing
their Investigations OF graft against
Ruef and Schmitz and Il Ia antici-
pated that over one hundred indict-
ments will be returned. The grand
jury are taking an interest In the
graft scandal and will probe every
charge to the bottom.
At o'clock this evening Abe Ruef
proceeded In nm automobile to the
home of Superior Judge Murasfy
where he surrendered himself to Sher-
iff O'Neil, who met Ruef by appoint
ment. Representatives OF surety
company accompanied Ruef to Judge
Muraslky's home and qualified on
Ruef's bonds, which amount on five
counts to $4,000. An order to re-
lease him from custody was then
made by the Judge. When asked for
statement, Ruef said: John ID.
Rockefeller was indicted yesterday and
am indicted today. The matter is
too absurd to be worth statement
from me. All ask Is an immediate
trial on the charges on which I have
been indicted by the grand jury"
In the presentation Of the indict-
ments against Schmitz and Ruef, AS
sistant District Attorney Heney has
fulfilled his promises that the first
action taken by the grand jury would
be to accuse Ruef with felony. This
prophecy was made In open court two
weeks ago, but nothing was said then
that the mayor would be drawn into
the scandal. The indictment of Ruef
was expected by the public, but the
people were not prepared for imme-
diate action against the citys chief
magistrate, who Is now on the Attain
tic, returning from visit to Europe.
There has been great complaint
against these restaurants during the
past two years from pulpit and press,
the accusation being made that they
were immoral and menace to the

the S. S. Wimbledon, from Newcastle,
arriving yesterday Afternoon. The VIM

tons, consigned to Irwin & Co., part
of which will be discharged directly
on the railway cars at the railway
wharf, where the steamer is now lying.

OIL AND RAILROADS
HAVE BEEN EXPOSED
PRESIDENT SENT A MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS TRANSMITTING THE
REPORT OF GARFIELD.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., May 4.-AstOund-
ing revelations Of the methods en-
ployed by oil producers and their rail-
road allies were made today when the
president sent in his message to CON
gress, transmitting the report Of Com
missioner Of Corporations Garfield,
who convicts the oil trust of persistent
and fragrant violations Of the law, and
the officials of deliberately lying. The
report shows that the officers denied
getting rebates for the railroads and
proves that they did get rebates and
are still getting them. The railroads
acknowledged their guilt by discontin-
uing the practice when they discoY-
cred that the senate was about TO be-
gin to take a vote on the railway rate
bill This is, therefore, considered
the most opportune time to send in
the report. The president argues in
his report that the revelations prove
that the only effective remedy for re
batting is through government regula-
ton with constitutional restrictions.
The president asks congress to
amend the immunity law The cor
b porations could not all escape. He
argues for a Federal corporation bill.
In his message the president says
Garfield's report shows that the total
output OF kerosene is but twenty-six
million barrels, and that the Standard
controls twenty-three million barrels,
and sells from two TO six cents a gal
Ion higher in fields where there is no
competition. The report says one-half
cent per gallon is reasonable profit
on refined oil
During 1904 the Standard saved
three quarters of a million dollars in
rebates already disclosed. The. report
also shows discrimination in open
rates. The report submitted has only
taken up one phase of the oil situa-
ton, but six other departments are tol

Delta's Fine Holiday Stocks.

Delta merchants have made elaborate
preparation for the holiday trade and
have put in stocks of holiday goods from
which the most exacting cannot fail to
secure suitable and pleasing selections
for presents. In the INDEPENDENT you
will find many merchants talking to
you about their holiday goods and by
pursuing their ads. carefully much time
can DE saved in making choice. and the
problem of what to get" will be more
easily solved 1t is wise not to post
pone selection of gifts until the last
minute. Early buyers have the benefit
of complete stocks. well arranged. to
pick from. Pay particular attention to
those who go after your trade thru the
medium of home paper advertising.
The merchant who advertises is invar-
iably the most enterprising. He will
be the more likely to buy right and
therefore sell right.
