The spacious plea has already been made, in connection with the subject, that the legislators are not bounden by any pledges made during the cam- paign a year ago, as Is the Governor and that the State Legislature is un- der no more compulsion to follow the mandate of the people at the primary election for alternate Senator than is the United States Senate to abide by that primary, and decline to admt any other person to its membership.
 It would be Bankhead against the field. And while Mir. Bankhead has an immense advantage in the race in the result of the primary, the field has been known to win. in other than turf races.
 It Is not believed that the admins tration would be able to swing the Legislature upon the question of the selection of Senator from Alabama as it has done upon other questions. but that it would have an influence, and a great influence, must be admit ted.
 One administration legislator, in dis cussing the matter yesterday. declared that he, while he had not been num- bered among Congressman Bankheads supporters in the primary fight. would be for him ito the last ditch" at the present time. The people had spoken, and that was enough for him. It Is believed that a large proportion of the States lawmakers would take the same view of the question, regardless of any influences, any plea of pleas. that might be made.
 It would therefore seem probable. so far as may be judged at this time, that Captain Bankhead will be the success sor of Senator Morgan. But 1t may require battle for him to secure the honor.

SCHMITZ EARS BURN
FRISCO MAYOR HEARS RUFF CALL
 PERJURER.
Confessed Boodler Tells Jury About the Crooked Transactions in Cali fornia City-He Always Di-
 vfded the Money.

San Francisco, June 12.-This was an ear burning day for Mayor Schmitz.
 Seated at the counsel table before the altar in the Jewish Synagogue. he heard Abe Ruef, his former political friend, philosopher and guide, practi- cally call him perjurer to the jury and with the jury he listened to a scathfng denunciation of himself at the hands of prosecutor Johnson. And if there was balm for scourged feel ings in the speech that closed the day, the speech of his attorney, Bar rett, he took no heed. Indeed, during most of two hours and twenty-five min- utes MT. Barrett was speaking, the Mayor was either glancing over news papers, or buried deep in pages of tes- timony. But no word of the prosecu- tors adress escaped his sensitive ears.
 Ruef was of course the sensation of the day. His appearance orf the stand as q witness, for the prosecution in re- buttal is now accredited to the tactt- cal error of the defense in letting the Mayor testify, for 1t was to refute the Mayors denials under oath that he had participated in Ruefs fee" that the prisoner ex-boss was called.
 Ruef told the jury that he went to Schmitz's former residence and hand ed to the Mayor at stated intervals half of the fees of $5,o00 and $3,000 paid him by the proprietors of five of the foremost of the French restaurants of San Francisco before the fire.

LODGE SPEAKS OF MORGAN.
Senate Committee AdjOurns in Respect
 tO His Memory.


 Washington, June 12.--No public ses- sion of the Senate Committee on Mill tary Affairs was held today, an ad- journment having been taken until to- morrow on account of the death of Sem ator Morgan.
 Senator Lodge referred briefly to the loss to the Senate and to the country. and suggested that it would be fitting for the Committee, which is the only Senate body now in session. to adjourn as a mark of respect.
 An executive session of the Commit tee was held, at which Senator Pettus was permitted to record his vote in support of the administration on the Brownsville question. This was done for the reason that Senator Pettus will go to Alabama with the body of his colleague and probably will not return here during the present session of the Committee.
 It was stated that the Committee would conclude the examination of all the witnesses in prospect by Tuesday next, but it Is not believed that any re- port will be prepared at this time. The question of going to Brownsville was discussed and an agreement reached

FLOWER BEDS RAIDED
vandals Made Off With Plants
 From Lawson Yard.

Somebody made a raid on few nice flower beds last night in John Lawson's yard on lower Baldwin street and made off with every plant in the place, roots and all. Such work as this discourages many from having anything about their homes that can be carried off or destroyed in few minutes and as conse- }Quence hundreds of yards are devoid tOf anything save the bare gravel and stone, not because folks prefer that sort of thing, but on account of the difficulty in saving them from people who have no taste for anything out of the ordinary and not being train cd to respect the rights of others regard everything they see as com mon property. It is too bad that this is so, and worse still that there does not appear to be any remedy in sight. Many find great pleasure in cultivating few patches of flowers in their yards, while others are sat- isfied with old tin cans and such other rubbish as accumulates in such places. The face of nature would look brighter than it does if all would place few flowers in the bar ren spots.
