Schmitz Center Of Attraction.

San Francisco. May 17.-When San
Francisco awoke this morning 1t
turned toward the residence of Mayor
Schmitz, following the direction point
ed by the accusing finger of Ruef.
Around the city's chief executive,
branded by his mentor as a CRATER
of the most sordid kind, now centers
storm raised by the ex-boss' con-
fession, and when Ruef shall have
completed his story of the looting of
the city by him and Schmitz, the in
terest that centers in him will inevita-
bly, be transferred to San Quentin or a
suicides grave.
Early in the day rumors of all
sorts circulated. one of the first to
go the rounds was to the effect that
the mayor had committed suicide. This,
of course, is untrue, although many
were only too ready to accept It as
true. Another, which was given
equal credence, was to the effect the
mayor had drawn up letter of res
iGnation and would today hand it to
the committee of citizens who made
the demand on Rudolph Spreckles
ana prosecutor t1tllty lluis sudy ioi
immediate restoration of civic health.
All night long n squad of Burns
men stood guard around the Schmitz
mansion, and had the mayor made q
move that had the least semblance of
attempt to escape. he would have
been arrested. Lights in Schmitz' s
private room burned until far past
midnight, giving rise to the rumor
that he was comforting with attorneys
as to the form in which he should
frame a letter of resignation.

Ruefs astounding confirmation OF
the charge that Schmitz received a

that the mayor accepted protection
money from brothels is not believed
by his bitterest enemies. The stamp

disgusted even those who stood by
the mayor through thick and thin.

AS much interest centers in today's
meeting of the citizens committe of
seven as in the session of the grand
jury. The members of the committee
feel confident before the day is over
Schmitz will have relinquished his
power and turned it over to the COM
mittee with authority to administer
the affairs of the city. This in con-
nection with what is stated by Heney
that so far as the prosecution is con-
cerned the supervisors will not be
forced to resign.
Intimation that Chief of Police
Dinan and President of the Board of
Works Duffey will be ousted is fol-
lowed by the rumor that they will
quit office before the citizens COM
mittee has a chance to kick them out.
Ruef arose early this morning and
after a good breakfast was taken out
for an automobile ride by Biggy. The
tremendous strain the ex-boss Is la

palpably every day. When he walk

NO STRIKE ON ID. & r. G.
settlement Reached at Denver But
Terms Unknown.

Denver, May 17.-There will be no
strike on the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad. The officials of the road
and representatives of the men got
together again last night and reached
a definite agreement to that effect.
While no conclusion was arrived at
as to the exact terms of the settle
ment. it was agreed that the men will
not go out, and the rest Is compara-
lively easy.
All that is left to be done is to
agree on the terms of settlement OF
the wage controversy, and as both
sides have made concessions it is moi
thought this will be difficult. The ne
gotiations have been long and tire
some, and while each side has yield
ed important points, the amicable
outcome seems to be gratifying tc
both.

Wood denounced the matter from
the bench and intimated It was con-
tempt OF court, and asked the coun-
sci what should be done, and finally
referred It to the county attorney
for investigation.
Richardson and Darrow, for the
defense, denounced the matter in un-
qualified terms, and said 1t was a de-
liberate attempt to influence the
jury, and openly charged that the
governor intended to make certain
the accused should not have a fair
trial In Idaho.
IIawley and Borah agreed the
matter is in bad taste and unwar-
the governor is regrettable and not
taken with their consent.
The county attorney was then call
ed in and discussion arose as TO
whether the matter was intended to
influence prospective jurors.
The def, nse demanded that Cooding

Tended the governor and said the
others who were responsible should
be punished. This closed the Incl

When the schools of this state re-
sumo work next fall the new school
laws will be in effect. and one that
will attract much attention is the
compulsory attendance law. AS q
result of that act Sammy Small.
Jennie Jones and all other boys and
girls between the ages of and IL
years, will have to attend school %
long as 1t lasts, in their respective
districts. II they do not attend their
parents will be responsible and will
be subject to fine of from IS to sac
for each refusal, or to imprisonment
from two to 10 days in the county
Jail or both.
The compulsory attendance law
was passed at the last session Of the
legislature and replaces the old and
defective law that has heretofore
been in force. Superintendent Welles
is already planning the best method
OF making the law known through
out this county and Of enforcing II
| next year. Upon this subject he
made the following statement this
morning:
when the schools open next fall
| tbs district clerk must present the
teacher with a copy of his last an
nual census report The census TAX
en- in February contains the names
and ages of all the children residing
in the district at that time, together
with the names of the parents or
uardionS of the children
AT the beginning of the term and
every four weeks thereafter, it be-
comes the duty of the teacher to
compare the names of the children
on the clerks census report with the
names of the children enrolled in
the school, and II from the census or
In any other manner the teacher
finds that there are children living
| In the district who are 2 years old
or older and under 16, the teacher
must at once report the names Of the
| children to the district boundary
board"
Under the law the enforcement Of
the law lies with the boundary
board, which acts through truant Of
ficers. 1t has not yet been deter
mined how or how many truant off,
GERS will be chosen, but 1t is probable
that the constables OF the various
precincts will be engaged wherever
possible. When a child is found to
be out Of school. the parent or guar
dian is first notified to have the
child in school on the following Mon
day, supplied with all books and
other things needed in the school
work. Should the parent fail to
comply he becomes thereby subject
to arrest and to punishment as stat
ed above.
Aside from tho punishment of the
parents the new law also has a
clause making It compulsory for all
school directors, clerks. teachers, or
other officials to assist in the en-
forcement Of the law, and failure to
do so works fine Of from IS to $40.
Before the commencement Of
school next fall Superintendent
welles will have the substance of the
compulsory attendance law compiled
in q concise form for the guidance
Of teachers and other school people
