sCHMITZ LAWYERS
SCENT A VICTORY
Continued from Page one>


ment he felt. After limiting that in re-
buttai he would put on witnesses TO
show that Mayor Schmitz and Ruef
gave police protection to low dives In
Jackson, Dupont and Pacific streets in
exchange for a share in their profits,
Heney called the first and last witness
of the day, Camille Mailhebeau, for
merly proprietor of one of the lesser of
the French restaurants, from the five
foremost of which the Mayor and Ruef
are indicted on charges of extorting a
total of $4,000.
Mailhebeau'S examination and cross
examination consumed little more than
half an hour, when Mr.. Heney made his
announcement:
THAT is our case. The people rest"
The prosecution feels that under the
California law which recognizes ne ac-
cessory but makes a principal of every
participant in a crime, whether or not
the participant was present at the COM
mission, it has made out strong pr1ma
facia case against the mayor on the
hypothesis that if Ruef is guilty the
mayor must be guilty, and Ruef's guilt
is both confessed and proved.
The defense, on the other hand, laughs
openly at the sudden termination of the
evidence-in-chief. They declare the
state has not made out any case at all,
and they point to the fact that every
one of the four restaurant men who tes-
titled for the prosecution declared un-
under oath that neither Ruef
nor Schmitz nor any one ever uttered
threat that their licenses would be
taken away if they did not pay money
to Ruef. All along it has been the claim
of the defense that the $4,000 and the
subsequent $4,000 paid to Ruef by the
proprietors of Delmonico's, Marchand's,
the Pup, the new Poodle Dog and the
Bay State restaurants were a purely
legal fee by which he was retained for
two years as a lawyer to defend their
interests before the police commission.
But the fact also remains that these
same witnesses testified that they be-
lieved they would lose their licenses
unless they employed the political boss,
Ruef.
The defense expects to begin and COM
plete the introduction of its evidence to-
morrow unless cross examinations by
the state consume more time than Or
dinarily.

ORIENTAL MERCHANT SAYS
STORY OF CONSPIRACY HAS
NO FOUNDATION IN FACT
By Associated Press.


SEATTLE, Wash, June 10.-Charles
T. Takahashi vice president of the
Oriental Trading company of this city,
who went to Washington as represent
tative of the Japanese on the Pacific
coast to confer with Ambassador
Aoki on the proposed mutual exclu-
sion treaty, said, regarding the dis
patch from Washington reporting the
alleged conspiracy to overthrow the
present administration of Japan:
1.-THE writer of the Washington dis
patch begins with an amusing politi-
cal blunder and ends with falsehood.
He seems to have interpreted a sug-
gestion as a complaint. The progress
sives in Japan and the Japanese of
the Pacific northwest have nothing in
common. The Progressive party is
badly demoralized. Its leader, Count
Okuma, recently resigned the leader
ship. The party is practically with
out leader.
1T is not true that Yamaoka went
to Japan to confer with the anti-ad-
ministration leaders, nor is he the
personal representative of Okuma on
this coast. He has always fought
Okumas party and supported Premier
Saionji. He was the editor of Saionjis
personal organ.
"An alliance between the Progress
sives and the Japanese OF the Pacific
northwest is impossible. The latter
are in sympathy with the present adj
ministration in Japan and wish Vis-
count OolSio continued as ambassador
to the United States. We feel that he
is the best informed man on the Jap
anese question in the United States
who is now in the service of our gov
ernment Personally I feel that it
would be a severe blow to our in
terests to have Viscount Aoki re-
called

HAYS WRONG IDEA
STATESMAN ERRED IN SETTING
LIMIT OF USEFULNESS.
According to His Theory a Man Had
Succeeded or Failed at the Age
Of 40 But Time Proved
Its FaIsity.

A quarter of q century ago / was
visiting John Hay at Whitelaw Reds
house In New York, which Hay was
occupying for a few months while
Reid was absent on a holiday In Eu-
rope, says Mark Twain in his auto
biography in the North American Re-

In trading remarks concerning our
ages I confessed to AZ and hay to 40.
Then he asked If ! had begun to write
my autobiography and | said | hadn't.
He said that | ought to begin at once
and that | had already lost two years.
Then he said in substance this:
AT 40 a man reaches the top of the
hill of life and starts down on the
sunset side. The ordinary man, the
average man, not to ~particularize too
closely and say the commonplace man,
has at that age succeeded or failed;
in either case he has lived all his life
that is likely to be worth recording;
also In either case the life lived Is
worth setting down, and cannot fail
to be interesting II he ome as near
to telling the truth about himself as
he can. And he will tell the truth in
spite of himself, for his facts and his
fictions will work Loyalty together for
the protection of the reader; each fact
and each fiction will be a dab of paint,
each will fall in it's right place, and
together they will paint his portrait;
not the portrait he thinks they are
painting, but his real portrait, the in
side of him, the soul of him, his char
acter. Without intending to lie he
will lie all the time; not bluntly, o n
sciously, not DULY unconsciously, but
half-consciously - consciousness in
twilight; a soft and gentle and merci-
full twilight which makes his general
form comely, with his virtuous promi-
nce and projections discernible
and his %ungracious n lei in shadow.
His truths will be recognized as
truths, his notifications of facts
which would tell against him will go
for nothing, the reader will see the
fact through the film and know his
man.
There is a subtle, devilish some
thing or other about photographed
composition that defeats all the writ
er's attempts to paint his portrait his
way"
HayImeant that he and | were ordi-
nary average commonplace people,
and | did not resent my share of the
verdict, but | nursed my wound in
silence. His idea that we had finished
our work in life, passed the summit
and were westward bound downhill
with me two years ahead of him and
neither of us with anything further
to do as benefactors t. mankind, was
all a mistake. | had written four
