SCHMITz INTENDED
RUEF'S BETRAYAL
The Boss CIeverIy Confessed,
Leaving His Partner
Helpless.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-Mayor
Schnitz says that he and Ruef had an
agreement that they would stand to-
gether and both confess. if cornered.
AS a result of Ruef's betrayal there is
war between the two indicted men. It
has been learned that when Ruef and
Schmitz learned that a prosecution was
imminent, they met at Schmitz' house
in Vallejo. At that time Schmitz is
reported to have said:
IF worst comes to worst, and we see
that we are caught, and a conviction
seems sure, we will stick together and
see what we can get out of the prose-
cution."
The compact was verbal neither man,
of course, being stupid enough to put
it into writing.
Schmitz, Ruef charges, intended to
confess, leaving Ruef out in the cold,
but the boss was too quick for him.
Ruef refuses to see the mayor.
Rudolph Spreckels, speaking for the
committee of seven, appointed to re-
store order and outline plans for the
future conduct of the city government,
saws that it was the intention of the
prosecution to leave Mayor Schmitz and
the supervisors in office until the close
of the year. The plan is compulsory,
there being no legal means Of ousting
them. Even if they remained until a
decision could be obtained from the
Supreme Court on appeal, which would
be taken, they would be able to serve
out their terms. This places San
Francisco in the hands of the boodlers
for seven months longer. A close
watch will be kept upon their official
acts, and check will be given the Of
ficials in any attempt to indulge in
what Mr.. Spreckels calls 1.-The tendency
to take a little extra compensation"
1t is openly said that it would greatly
simplify the situation if Schmitz could
be induced to disappear. In this case.
no very energetic search would be made
for him.
