ACTING MAYOR
Gallagher and Convicted
Man Both Sign
Measures.
Treasurer Bantee Re-
quireS Double Sigma
lures on Vouchers.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 25.-Eugene
f. Schmitz has issued a defiance to the
prosecution. He announced his deter
mination 70 "sit tight" in the mayoralty
chair, and declared that he would per
form the functions of chief executive Of
this city, despite the inconvenience Of
his confinement in the county jail.
Absolutely. I am the mayor Of San
Francisco" says Schmitz.
"schmitz is out of office, and out for
good" was the reply of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis ]. Heney to
Schmitz's declaration.
But despite the assertion of the prose-
cutiOn that Schmitz is no longer mayor.
the convicted official continues to eXer-
else the functions of his office. and in
some quarters of the municipal govern
ment his acts are recognized as aUtnOTi-
tative. The board Of supervisors vir-
tuaIly admitted the authority of Schmitz
when they overruled six of his vetoes to
the municipal budget.
Orders From County Jail.
While schmitz issues his orders from
his quarters at the county Jail. acting
Mayor Gallagher is also issuing orders
authorizing the exceeding Of the dollar
limit Of taxation, and other bills.
SO there seems 10 be a sort of double
headed authority presiding over the mu-
nicipal government. Schmitz says:
John l. Moore, ! appoint you police
commissioner so far no one has
appeared to dispute the claim of the
Schmitz appointee 10 the office.
Gallagher's Pronunciamento.
Gallagher says:
4 have signed the ordinance authOTiZ-
ing the exceeding of the dollar limit OF
taxation. L am the acting mayor. The
ordinance shall be the law'-and no one
as yet has disputed GSIlagher's author
ity TO affix his signature TO the ordi-
nance.
To Treasurer Bantel. Schmitz has is
sued orders that he shall pay out no
money unless his signature Is affixed to
the demands Bantel is in a quandary,
and he states that he viii pay out no
money whatever unless the signatures
of both SChmitz and Gallagher are at
tached to the documents The prosecu-
ton AYERS that Bantel must recognize
the authority of Gallagher. and they
say that steps will be taken to compel
this recognition.

"Nine out OF ten people believe" said
surgeon, "that the eye can be taken
out for repairs. just like the works OF
watch, and again replaced In the
socket precisely AZ It was before. 4
moment's reflection ought to show any
one how impossible this would be. A.
a matter of fact the eye Is held In
place by no fewer than six taut mus
cles, and in order to turn It out Of the
socket at least four Of these would
have to be cut through. Besides, It Is
connected with the brain by thick
nerve, which cannot be stretched, and
It Is also connected with the inside Of
the skull by blood vessels, and II these
were cut they could never be reunited.
Perhaps a time will come when dead
man can be restored to life,- but you
may feel perfectly sure that the re-
moval and restoration Of the eye is a
surgical feat that will never be per-
formed"
