CRAFT AT FRISCO
Mayor Schmitz involved in
Charges by Two Dis
charged Officers.
WINKED AT LIQUOR SALE
Tribute Declared to Have Been Col
lected from Gamblers and
Others.

San Francisco Cal. July 14.-MayoI
Schmitz has been dragged into the
worst mess of his career by the charg
es hurled at him by Police Commission
er Reagan. who was removed from of
flee yesterday.
Reagan charges the mayor with fore
ing saloon keepers, restaurants and re-
sorts to pay for police protection and
immunity. He declares also the mayor
permitted resorts destroyed by the fire
to spring up again in the unburned
residential section. and forced the wo-
men who run them TO pay tribute.
Says One Paid 5000.
He cites the case of one woman who
paid 5000 for the privilege of dispens-
ing wine while the sale or giving away
of liquor was prohibited.
Many of Reagan's charges are cor
robOrated by Harry w Hutton, for
mer police commissioner, who makes
other ugly charges against Mayor
Schmitz. Hutton says:
1T was hinted to me on several oc-
casions that | could make a good deal
of money | was told | could get ST.
100 a month for quitting my campaign
against slot machines | was also told
that / could get $4,000 a month for
stopping my agitation against China
town gamblers. But | put both out or
business before | quit the board
started With Other Charges.
The trouble between Reagan and the
mayor began when Mayor Schmitz at
tempted to retain Chief of Police Witt-
man in office. following a sensational
expose of police corruption in China
town. The police commission had
been investigating charges against
Chief Whitman and members of the
Chinatown squad, when one evening
Commissioner Reagan. without warn
ing. moved that the chief Of police be
suspended from office.
Expected to Sustain Chief.
Commissioner Poheim, who was in
the chair. ignored the motion and Rea-
gan lost his temper and told Poheim
to submit the motion for a vote or he
would throw him ont OF the window
After that POheim put the motion and
Whitman was suspended. Reagan de-
clares that the mayor while feigning
hatred for Whitman, really intended
that the police commission should pro-
tect the chief.

Clever Plot to Kill Husband
and Marry Wife Alleged
at Springfield.

Springfield. H.. July 14.-Taking ad-
vantage of the Fourth of July celebra-
ton as an opportunity and shooting
himself deliberately through the hand
to give the appearance of accident,
Luke Terlis, il is charged, sent bullet
into the stomach of Joseph Timmes
with murderous intent because he was
in love with Timmes' wife and wanted
to get the husband out of the way that
he might marry the woman.
Charged by Woman.
This is the plot charged against Ter
lis by Mrs Timmes when she testified
before Police Magistrate Shipp at the
arraignment of Terlis for assault with
a deadly weapon. Timmes' condition
has become critical, and to await the
outcome of his injury the hearing was
deferred two weeks. Meantime evi-
dence is to be gathered showing the
truth or falsity of the alleged murder
plot
Terlis was celebrating the Fourth
with a party of men and was remon-
strated with for his reckless handling
of a revolver. He protested that the
weapon was not loaded and to prove
his point, as he declares, he put one
hand over the muzzle, pulled the trig-
ger and sent a bullet through his hand.
The weapon was so pointed that the
ball sped on into the stomach of Tim
mes.
Annoyed with Attentions.
Terlis declared the shooting of Tim
mes was purely accidental. but Mrs.
Timmes is certain that it was clever
plot to kill the victim Then she told
how Terlis had annoyed her with his
attentions, pleaded with her to elope
with him and how he had threatened
TO put her husband out of the way
when she had repulsed his advances.

A RIr Joke.

Talladega Mountain Home.
 The Age of Sunday an nounces the campaign committee of the. Farmers, Mechanics and Labor CTS Association It is the purpose of the Association to agitate railway rate reform and boost MT. Conner for Gov ernor
 A press agent has been employed and in an interview, he says: The purpose of the publicity bureau Is to keep before the people the only issue of the campaign-the regulation of railroad rates"
 Now the joke about the committee is it's personnel. Any one at all famil- far with the men and affairs of the the name of the Association-''The Farmers. Mechanics and Laborers' As sociation"-then read the names com posing the campaign committee. The first man named, the chairman, Frank s. White, is a lawyer; then in rapid succession you can spot them-cotton men. mill men. wholesale men, manu- lecturers. Of course we do not krow all of them, but we know that a large men who are neither farmers, mechan- ics or laborers. We should like to see a list of the men composing this com mittee published, accompanied by the occupation in which they are engag ed Some of them may be landlords and we know that many of them are em- ployers of labor, but we do not know a single one of them who is laborer or mechanic. However, there may be borers and mechanics and save it from being strictly partisan one. Never theless, 1t is~the biggest joke of the campaign.

FALSE pRoPHETs.

Already the prophets of evil are try ing to discount the future of San Francisco. The Pall Mall Gazette. of
 England, which we believe is owned and inspired by William Waldorf As- tor, sometimes called Willy Waiiy, somewhat sneeringly remarks that the city may be rebuilt after fashion" but seriously doubts if it will ever again become such an important center of commerce and population as 1t has been. Then comes Los Angeles pa per with the claim that its city Is bound to be the greatest in California It claims that 1t will take San Fran cisco a score of years to rebuild and that it will never overtake Los An-
 geles, which it claims has a population
 of 230,000, though we know not on
 what it bases such a claim, nor do we
 know how it, an inland city, can ex- pect to outstrip one of the best located cities for trade and commerce in all the West. except on the theory that Frisco will not be rebuilt.
 These two journals--and there are others like them--seem to have low opinion of American pluck, en- ergy and perseverance,. The earth quake and fire formed a combination of disaster that might be thought enough to discourage any future effort to build up the place. but it is not the American way to give up because of one set back, however serious it may be. There can be nothing approach ing certainty that there will be another earthquake there, but those who rebuild will adopt such precau- tions as human forethought and skill can suggest to guard against a repe- tition of the catastrophe. Buildings will be stronger than before, and both in material and construction will be safer against earthquake, fire or other disaster than heretofore. Experience is one of the safest guides that humani- ty can have and the people of Frisco have had such lesson as will never be forgotten.
 In our Judgment there will be no lack of means to rebuild the city, and there will be no lack of people to risk their money and themselves in the work of making it a greater, strong CT and safer city than it was before. There are too many and too great nat ural advantages at that place not to at- tract both people and money to it. MT. Astor seems soured in general way at all things American. and Los Angeles is envious because of the great influence and size of the other, and it's prediction that it will not be re- built. and will not again be a great city is really the expression of wish. We predict that much less than score of years will be sufficient to show the Los Angeles paper that it is not at all good prophet. Whether uttered or acted, the motto of San Francisco will be, Resurgam-"T shall rise again.
