SALOON MEN LOOKING FOR

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 16.-Saloon
men of South Dakota are anticipating
considerable trouble as a result of the
new laws providing hat no saloon can
do business within a third of a mile OF
an educational institution.
It's failure to specify exactly what
schools will come under the head of
educational institutions leaves a loop
hole which will without doubt be taken
advantage OF by saloonmen.
In Sioux Fails there are q number of
saloons within the prohibited distance
Of the high school building, the central
public school building Il the Sioux
Falls Business college. The same is,
true of practically every city and town
in the state where saloons are permit
ted to do business, many OF these be-
ing within a third OF a mile of public
school buildings or colleges.

SCHMITZ SCORES
ONE WITNESS TESTlFlES IN FA-
VOR OF THE DEFENSE.
SAID He WAS NOT THREATENED
Raised $4,000 to Be Paid to Ruef fer
Taking Care of Their Ii
censes for Them.

San Francisco, GAIA few min
utes before adjournment of court, the
defense in the trial of Mayor Schmitz
for eXtortion scored what they consid-
er a signal point, during the cross-eX-
animation of n of the prosecutions
chief witnesses, Antonio B. Blanco.
Until the great Blanco was proprietor
of Delmonicos, one of the five French
restaurants from whose owners the
mayor and Abraham Ruef are accused
of having eXtorted thousands of dol
lars under threats, implied, if not eX
pressed, to prevent the reinsurance of
their liquor licenses.
Did Ruef ever tell you that if you
did not pay this money you would not
get your licenses renewed?" asked
Attorney Campbell, the mayors senior
council.
NO." replied Blanco promptly, he
did not
Did the mayor eve tell you that?"
NO"
Did anybody eve tell you So"
Nobody ever made that threat to
me- said Blanco.
Four witnesses were on the stand
Thursday-Offcer Charles F. Shelly,
secretary of the board of police COM
m~issioners; former Police Commits
sioners Thomas Reagan and DR.. Jo-
seph Poheim and Antonio Blanco.
Former Commissioner Reagan testi-
fed infinitely to the sudden and de
termined change of the mayors atti-
tude toward proprietors of French
decentralization advising the refusal
of licenses to demanding that they be
granted-simultaneously with the ap-
p%earance of Abe Ruef as attorney for
the restaurant keepers.
Former Commissioner Poheim told
of the compiling by Ruef of a set of
regulations for the government of the
restaurants, how he heard the boss
had laughed over these and how, after
they had been by Ruef submitted to
the police board, the held-up licenses
were renewed.
Antonio Blanco testified that he and
the proprietors of the Pup, belmont
co, Marchand's and Tortinis had
raised a fund of $4,000 to be paid to
Ruef "as a lawyer and the political
boss for taking care of their licenses
for them"
