scAMlrz GUILTY.


Gan Francisco, June IA jury u
10 Of bis peers has declared Mayor
Euvene E. schmitz guilty of the crime
Of extortion as charged against nm ny
the Oliver grand jury.
The jury vas out just one hour anu
tb;rtv-fiye minutes. 1t elected Charles
E. capp foreman and at once proceeded
r. an informal ballot. This was cast
70, ballv and stood II for conviction
and one for acquittal. Mr.. Burns
shoemaker. cast the dissenting Vote
Then the 10 men began discussion Oh
sba evidence. which lasted for nearly
an hour. At the end Of that time the
first formal ballot was east. 1t was
written ballot and was unanimous ioI
conviction. The jurymen Issued TINS
statement to the Associated Press lm-
mediately after their dismissal by the
court.
The mayor received the verdict quiet
lv and without emotion. He sat at the
table talking with his counsel, while o
few loyal friends came up and shook
him by The hand. Many OF the CITY
employees, appoinIees Of sehmitz, were
present and they showed tile greatest
a,,rnrise and cousternatiOn.
Assistant District Attorney heney,
who has borne the brunt Of the battle
for the prosecution, was not in the
courtroom when the verdict was
brought in. Even the prosecution did
not expect such quick decision by the
Jury, and was unprepared for it. There
were no signs of jubilation when the
result Of the trial was known among
the forces OF the prosecution. They
took their victory quietly.
Among the crowd were heard express
sions of satisfaction that justice had
been done, but they were mingled with
words OF regret that Schmitz, who had
played such gallant part during the
fire and earthquake, had succumbed to
the influence that had brought about
his conviction of felony. Sentence will
be pronounced June 81.

DROP ARMAMENT QUESTION.


Washington. June l8.-It can be
stated on authority that the American
delegates TO The Hague conference will
not bring up for discussion the question
OF limitation of ornaments. That mat
ter is regarded as purely European
question at present and as the result OF
another years. work by Professor De-
Martens, at the various capitals OF Eu-
rope, has been to thresh out pretty
thoroughly the whole matter, and make
evident the fact that at least four OF
the great powers are averse to the con-
sideration of the disarmament question,
the Washington government regards
itself as relieved from the necessity Of
bringing this matter to the fore.
1t Is the opinion here, also, that the
subject Of limitation of armament will
not now be preached by any Of the
powers represented at The Hague con-
farenaa

alterations OF high order contributed to

French guarantee for Corea and Formo-

China was worth great deal TO France.

to The Hague conference, said to be the

claring that Japan is to hurl bomb
into the conference by bringing forward
the question of right of conquerer to
annex territory subjugated with all that

This will be warmly denied by both
Russia and the United States, the
Herald's informant is quoted as saying.
The Russians have large private prop
critics in Manchuria, and the United
States considerable mining and other
interests in Corea. OF such interests
Japan proposes to deprive them. At all
events, that is to be the object of her
proposition.
The United States proposes to bring
