To Be Tried on Charges
Of Extortion.
POLICE CHIEF is ACCUSED.
HE is ALLEGED TO HAVE EN-
DEAVORED IN VARIOUS WAYS
TO INFLUENCE PROSPECTIVE
JURYMEN IN THE CASE.

San Francisco, June 5.-The jury
was completed Tuesday afternoon for
the trial of Mayor Eugene Schmitz on
the first of the five indictments re-
grand jury, by which he is accused
Jointly with Abraham Reuf of having
extorted from Joseph Malfanti sf.175
as the first installment of a $4,000
annual bribe to secure to the French
restaurant keepers of San Francisco
their license to sell liquor
Judge Dunno. upon motion of the
prosecution and over the determined
and spirited objections of the defense,
formally disqualified Sheriff Thomas
O'Neill and Coroner William Walsh as
untitled by personal bias to perform
any court functions in connection
with the trial and appointed William
]. Biggy as elisor to have charge of
the jury until verdict has been rem
dered or a disagreement reached.
Shorty after adjournment of court.
Mr.. Biggy, who for some months past,
has been Reuf's jailor, marched the
jury TO the st. Francis hotel, where
the twelve men will be kept under
lock and key during all the time that
they are not sitting in the trial.
The grand jury has filed with Dis
trict Attorney Langdon formal COM
plant against Chief of Police Jere-
miah F. Dinan, charging him with will
fui and corrupt misconduct in office
in that he subverted the law in en-
deavoring TO bring about the acquittal
of defendant without the knowledge
of the district attorney. The defen-
dant was Mayor Schmitz and the in
yestigatfon by the grand jury grew
out of the accusation of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis j. Heney that
Chief Dinan had attempted TO tamper
with the talesmen drawn for the jury
which is to try the mayor.

CASE WAS NOT HEARD
Fight Occurred at Peoples
Supply Company.

1t was stated in the Palladium Tues
day on information received and sup
posed to be reliable. that the fight
Monday afternoon between Lawrence
Thurman and Joseph Balling. took
place in the Wayne Supply company
store. This statement is not correct.
The fight occurred at the store of the
Peoples Supply company, between
Fourth and Fifth streets on Main
street.
The case was not called this morn
ing in the city court on account of the
trial of the Robbins Brothers, which
was heard all forenoon. 1t is probable
this case will be called Thursday
morning, if Balling. who was injured
Monday night, is able to appear.

over all the world AT length he was
similarly ordered to return home and
was received into his fathers house.

He remained there for many yea2s
scorn and i'll treatment of his own
domestics, until his death, when first
a voice, heard through all the church
es in the city, proclaimed him saint,
and then paper written by himself
revealed his history.
Harry Bowing, as Euphemianus, the
Roman patrician, was master of the
role. As heart broken charitable
ard loving father he was effective and
one of the best characters in the en-
tire cast, while Bibuius, Harry Nuech-
ter, scheming and unscrupulous SER

VERY LITTLE CHANCE
FOR STATE LEAGUE
Manager jessup Does Not Re-
gard the Outlook AS an
Encouraging One.
PLEASED WITH SUPPORT.
LOYALTY OF RICHMOND FANS IS
HIGHLY GRATIFYING-WHY A
LEAGUE is A GOOD THING.

| Manager Jessup does not think there
is much chance Of a state base ball
! league being organized at the present
time. A short time ago while the To-
| Gals were playing in Portland. Jessup
suggested to the Portland manager
that it would be a wise move to or
ganize a league of eight clubs COM
posed of the Richmond, Portland, Dun
kirk, Decatur, Lebanon, Hartford City,
Frankfort and Sharpsville-Kokom
teams. The managers of nearly all
these teams were sounded concerning
the league project, but opposition was
developed.
Catcher and Manager Wolf of the
Dunkirk team is a contract jumper and
Dunkirk realized that in case it went
into the league Wolfe could not play
as he is on the blacklist One of the
Portland players is blacklisted and the
Hartford City team, which gave up the
ghost Tuesday, was at that time on its
last legs. Consequently these two
clubs We're not favoraDfy impressed
concerning the organization of a
league.
Jessup Enthusiastic.
Manager Jessup is enthusiastic over
the support the local fans have given
his team. He states that notwith-
standing the unfavorable weather this
spring the club has been supported by
the fans to the profit of the stock
holders in the Richmond Amusement
company and that such a good base
ball town as Richmond is should be in
league company. This city is sup
porting its team as well as many of the
clubs in the Central league are sup
ported" said Manager Jessup Mana
gers and players on teams which have
visited here this spring have comment
ed on the way the fans of this city turn
out on week days and Sundays
Another reason why Manager Jes-
sup is anxious to have Richmond rep
resented in a league, is to hold his
players. AS long as the team remains
Independent the players may jump the
team with impunity. as Durham and
Plummer did. but once the team be-
comes a league team and under the
protection of the National Baseball
commission. this practice will cease
The players under contract to the local
club would then have to play here or
keep out of organized base ball Next
season. if Terre Haure, Evansville or
Springfield do not support their clubs
better than they have done IN the past.
there is a good chance of Richmond
breaking into the Central league.

Walls FOR JOHN"
Refuses to Leave Station After Pur.
suers Are Discharged-Sent to
Detention Hospital.

Dominic Faleo. the South Deering
italian who was kept at the sixteenth
precinct station for several days past
to protect him from the Black Hand
conspirators whom he believed to be
bounding him, went insane at the sta
ton about o'clock last night and was
this morning sent to the detention hos
pitaI by Judge Goodnow.
In court yesterday morning. when
the cases against the men arrested on
complaint of FaleO were dismissed, the
Italian exhibited every symptom of ex-
IRENE terror, keeping close to the off,
GERS by whom he was surrounded. His
testimony was evidently influenced by
the fear he felt for the men who had
been arrested. and was not nearly so
strong as the story he told the police.
At the station last night the officers
were startled by hearing Faleo wall
out a heartrendering cry for John"
which was evidently the name of some
friend. He besought John" not to
leave him, and shortly became so vio-
lent that he was locked in a cell. In
a little while he became quiet, and ex-
pressed a desire to go back to Italy,
where his mother lives.
George Matthews, of 95th street and
Ewing avenue, who deals in steamship
tickets, was brought to the station
but Faleo refused to purchase ticket
unless an officer could accompany him
all the way to Italy.
Faleo was then booke don disorderly
charge and when brought into the
South Chicago branch of the municipal
court this morning the facts were
stated and the man was sent to the de-
tention hospital.
