A Church "Pay Day."

An interesting feature of the Presby-
terian church services Of Sunday, Sept
l, will be the offering. The church year
is almost half gone and in order to meet
every obligation at this time the mem.
bers and all other subscribers have been
asked to pay up their subscriptions in
full on or previous to the above date.
Those who have not subscribed anything
toward the support of the church, and
desire to do so, will be given an opportu-
nifty on Sept. l. The church is prosper
ing and no doubt its members and
friends will respond quite literally so
that all accounts may be settled in full.
Sept 4, therefore, will be pay day in the
Elbert Presbyterian church.

Schmitz Arraigned
in Trolley and
Gas Gases
Given Until Wednesday
to Enter Pleas on
Bribe Charges
Sits SfoIidly in Ordeal TO
Which He Is Now Accustomed

In Judge Dunne's court yesterday
morning Eugene z. Schmitz, the
tituIary mayor of San Francisco, was
arraigned on two additional indict-
ments of the 35 returned against him
by the grand Jury. The particular
crimes were those OF receiving bribe
of $4,000 from the United Railroads
company for the trolley franchise and
bribe of s3,250 from the officials of
the San Francisco gas and electric COM
pany to fix gas rates. On "Wednesday
morning next the convicted official Will
appear to plead to the charges.
Schmitz had but one attorney with
him in court, c. H. Fairall, and the
proceedings were without excitement.
The district attorneys office was repre-
sented by Hiram w. Johnson and
Charles w. Cobb.
Schmitz was early in court. 1t was nee
essary that the two indictments should
be read to him and the court permitted
him TO keep his seat through the ordeal
Courtroom Clerk Frank McManus read
the documents and the prisoner sat mo-
tionless and unperturbed, having be-
come somewhat accustomed TO the pro-
ceedings. He has now been arraigned
on some 80 counts.
When the reading of each indictment
was completed the clerk addressed the
defendant:
Eugene e. Schmitz. is that your true
name?"
'It Is" answered the man who had
dishonored 1t.
When the indictments had been read
Fairall asked that an extension of time
until Wednesday be granted that the
defendant might prepare his plea, and
the request was allowed.
Schmitz then went to Judge Lawlor's
court to secure permission to lunch at
home with his family.

man appeared In the street again. This
time. according toe Biggy. he had dis
carded his black clothes and derby hat
and wore suit of light tweeds and a
neighborhood for more than an hour.
When he returned and emerged from
the house again he wore still differ
ent suit.
Biggy and the guards observed the
watchers closely from that time on.
They say that the men either sit in
the bay window most of the day or
stand around whereathey can see every
one that enters or leaves Ruef's house.
The older man takes two trips regular
ly over the hill each day and is gone
each time for more than an hour. He
is generally seen writing before max
ing these trips, and Biggy has no
doubt that the man leaves to report
to the persons employing him.
Well dressed women occasionally
visit the men at night. Whether these
women are also detectives Biggy and
the guards will not say. They appear
to know more of the pair, in fact, than
they will consent to talk about
TRAIN CAMERA ON HOUSE.
Yesterday the men were seen with
a telephoto lens it would be a very easy
matter to get photographs of persons
calling on Ruef from the bay window
where the men had the camera, as the
two houses are less than zoo yards
apart.
Biggy was sending a message over
the telephone relating to the men and
their camera yesterday and had no
sooner laid down the receiver than ne
looked up at the bay window. The
men were just in the act of taking the
camera out of sight. They did not re-
appear with it for the remainder of the
day and Biggy is confident that his
message was overheard and trans
mitted to the pair.
The mems room was dark last night
and an effort made to interview them
was fruitless.
w. ]. Phillips. superintendent of the
Pacific States telephone company, said
last night that the linemen kept such
close watch on the wires that he did
not think q leak to Ruefs house could
be effected.
II am surprised at this report" said
Phillips. II don't think there is any
thing in it, but the company will be
the first to investigate it."

.BLOCKsOM ASKED ABOUT
HIS ATTACK ON FORAKER
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPEClAI DlSPAICH To The CALL
WASHINGTON, June 2s.-The war
department has called Major Augustus
P. Blocksom of the Inspector generals
department. to state whether a recent
interview credited to him is correct,
in WHICH he is said to have alluded to
Senator Foraker as ''untruthful and a
blatant demagogue" Major Blocksom
was recently examined by Senator For
aker I'm the Brownsville inquiry, and it
was with great difficulty that the
soldier could restrain himself when
pressed by the Ohio senator.
Blocksom prepared signed article
attacking Foraker, but was induced to
keep it out of the newspapers. Then
Senator Foraker referred to him in
uncomplimentary terms in his speech
at Wilberforce, and Major lBlocksom is
said to have retorted withlthe epithets
quoted. He has a reputation for gal
lantry and extreme bluntness OF speech.
If he afirms the truth of the inter-
view IL is probable that court martial
will follow.

Police Chief Dindn
Enters Plea OF
Not Guilty
Questions the Right Of
Judge Seawell to
Hear Charges
District Court of Appeals
Is Asked TO Pass on Matter

Not guilty" was the plea Of Chief OF
wells court to the grand jury accusa-
tion that he had interfered with the i'm
paneling of jurors in the Schmitz case
and Joined IN conspiracy to open and
maintain house of i'll repute on Pacific
street.
When the case was called Nathan G.
Coghlan. attorney for Dinan, announced
that he had filed a petition for writ of
prohibition in the district court of ap-
peal. His client, he said, was ready
to plead. but he himself thought the
matter should go over until the upper
court had passed on the points at issue.
Assistant District Attorney Harrison
insisted on an immediate plea The
court sided with Harrison, so while
Dinan sat silent Coghlan arose and
said: "We enter plea of not guilty.
A continuance was ordered until Mon
day, at which time Judge Seawell will
set the date Of trial.
The case has gone to the court of ap-
peal on the contention that under the
charter of San Francisco only the police
commissioners have the power to try
charges against chief of police or re-
move such official from office. A writ
to proh1b1t Judge Seawell from sitting
in the case is prayed for.
Dinan contends that only the charter
provides for procedure before the po-
lice commission and that in the event
of the refusal of the police commission
ers to prefer charges against him he
would have to be tried and convicted
before a police magistrate before the
board could be forced to dismiss him
from the department.
Robert Mcmillan is associated with
Coghlan in Dinans defense.

.OBJECTs To RACES OF
DYED RABBITS ON 4TH
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

FRESNO. June 2S.-Mayor Lyons
plan to have jackrabbit races in the
courthouse park at the fourth of July
celebration has aroused the humane
officer and they may not be held Lyon
brought up the matter before the
fourth of July committee and it au-
thorized the secretary to advertise for
10000 rabbits at 10 cents each. The
rabbits were to be turned over to the
boys of the city to race in the park.
The idea stirred great enthusiasm and
one committee member suggested that
the rabbits be dyed blue, green and
other colors to enhance the effect.
But now comes Humane Officer Will
liam Harvey Sr. with a threat to arrest
the mayor il the scheme is put into
effect. The races, he said, would be in

carmen that I know in San Francisco
are the men who are operating cars.
ANY men who are hereafter employed
by the company will be those who
individually apply to the United Rail-
roads for employment. We are receiv-
ing on an everage 25 such applications
every day. Among these are some Of
our old employees, whom we are glad to
take back. We have a force of about
1000 men on our payroll now and are
paying from 25 to 93 cents an hour"
From other sources 1t was learned
that in spite of Calhoun's rigid atti-
tude hope is entertained of inducing
him to make concessions great enough
to justify the union men in returning
to the platforms OF the United Rail-
roads company's cars. What those
concessions might be were not di-
vulged.
PROPOSITION SELECTED
Five propositions were discussed by
the committee and the railroad man
agement. They covered every phase
of the strike. One was found to be
more satisfactory than any of the 9TH
ers and 1t was taken up at the execu-
tive session of the campaign committee
last night 1t was decided to place
the proposition before the carmen and
to return with the result to Calhoun
next Tuesday. If Calhoun accepts it's
terms the strike will be ended at once.
Referring to the work of the commit
tee yesterday President Cornelius stated
that it had his entire Endorsement, and
he intimated that he would willingly
abide by any provisions it sought fit to
make in order to bring about peace.
After the meeting yesterday after
noon the entire membership of the
campaign committee went into execu-
tive session at the Labor temple to
discuss the conference with Calhoun.
Mccarthy and Tveitmoe were the
members of the union forces who ar
ranged the meeting with the railroad
officials. They visited Calhoun last
Tuesday and made the committee ap-
pointment for yesterday.
The following statement was given
out last night by the general campaign
committee
The ways and means committee had con
ference today with the United Railroads and
will have another conference in few DAYS.
The general situation is unchanged There are
no more cars being operated, in fact not as
many today, as there have been, regardless of
statements of the United Railroads to the con-
trary.
Regarding the various rumors that have been
circulated Of settlement OF the strike we wish
TO state that they absolutely without
foundation and are being circulated by the
