COMMITTEE NOW AT WORK
Investigation Of the Police Depart
ment Already Begun.
OTHER BRANCHES TO BE PR0BEI
Business Men Hold His Written
Agreement to Do as They
Tell Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-Notwith-
standing the many contradictory stories
told about the scope and power of the
committee Of seven, it is now generally
conceded that the administration of munich
pal affairs in this city is to some extent
at least in its hands. In written agree
ment Mayor Schmitz has bound himself, 1t
is said to carry out any request which
this committee, made up of representatives
of the five leading commercial organiza-
tons of the city, may make of him. The
committee already has begun an investiga-
ton into the conduct of the police depart
ment, and will gradually extend the scope
of its actions to the works board, street
department and other branches of the
municipal government.
Its purpose is to make thorough in
quiry into the conditions that exist in
various branches of the city government
and to make such changes in personnel
and methods as shall be judged necessary.
His Written Promise.
1--WE hold Mayor Schmitz's written prom
ise to carry out the wishes and instructions
of the committee In administering the af-
fairs Of the city," said F. w. Van Sicklen,
a member of the committee Of seven, yes
terday. THE committees agreement with
Mayor Schmitz Is short, barely embracing
ten lines of writing, but it contains his
sweeping promise to act absolutely and
completely as the committee may direct.
Has Not Resigned.
Mayor Schmitz has not resigned. All re-
ports to the contrary are erroneous The
only writing between him and the commit
tee is this ten-line agreement. If we de-
mand the removal Of the chief Of police of
any commission or any official connected
with the city government he must remove
those whom we designate or go back on
his written promise. The only hold we
have on him Is his promise. II he disre-
CARDS that We can do nothing, but believe
he will do anything the committee asks /
believe that he is not only willing but
anxious to do what we want
Schmitz Makes Statement.
Schmitz has nevertheless caused to be
published the following statement:
THE statement that I have handed the
reins Of government to any person or COM
mittee is an unqualified falsehood. called
the committee of fifty together some time
ago In order that might take advantage
of the wisdom and advice Of the best citi-
Gems Of the city in q financial and indus
trial crisis. This committee Of fifty selected
subcommittee in order that the important
work might be systematized and carried
out. and one Of the committees is the So
called committee Of seven.
IT have not resigned nor yielded my pre-
rogative to anybody and any statement to
the contrary is malicious faIsehood There
is no reason why should give over the
reins Of government to other people
"As for Ruefs charges. VIII say he has
never paid me any bride money. and he
knows that. If he says he paid bride money
to me he simply lies. I only know that he
has made such charges from what / am
told and from the newspaper reports"
