INCURABLE
DISEASE WITH WHICH sCHNTITz
is SUFFERING.
Attorneys Declare He Is i'm Serious
Condition and Tell of Con-
spiracy.

San Francisco, June 21.-Mayor
sehmitz's attorneys this evening APP
piled to the district court of appeals
for the release of the mayor on bail
by a writ Of habeas corpus. 1t is de-
clared by his attorneys that the mayor
is suffering from an incurable dis
ease and that Imprisonment in jail
will cause his death. 1t is understood
that the disease referred to is an af-
lection of the kidneys and that it has
advanced to serious stage.
The petition alleges that the law
under which the mayor was ordered
into custody is unconstitutional and
that imprisonment of the mayor is in
furtherance of a conspiracy by Ru-
dolph Spreckles and others through
coercive powers to usurp the Office OF
mayor and secure political control of
San Francisco.

Platform OF the Republican Party

The platform of the Republican
party, adopted in convention at Lou
isville, as follows:
We approve the policies and COM
mend the ability, integrity and cour-
age of President Roosevelt and his
administration, and without express
ing a preference for any candidate,
favor the selection by the next ma
tional convention for president of
one in full accord with those policies,
and who will energetically carry them
out in the interests of all the people.
Second-We demand that all cleo
lions shall be honestly conducted,
and declare that the cause of good
government and the future happiness
and welfare of the people of Ken
lucky are inseparably bound up in
the suppression OF all abuses and
crimes against an honest ballot, that
have so unfortunately disgraced our
state under Democratic rule, depriv-
ling the people of their rightful herit-
Representative government.
The law for registration certif-
Gates, imposed on the state by the
democratic party for immoral pur-
poses, whereby votes in Kentucky
ihaye become negotiable instruments,
passing by delivery, ought to be re-
pealei.
Third-The judiciary of the. state
! in both the circuit and appellate
courts, should be chosen on non
partisan grounds, and the continue
ance in office of faithful judicial pub
lie servants should be determined by
no other qualifications than fitness.
Fourth-There should be COM
plete publicity concerning the ex-
lpenditure of money for political cam
lpaigns, and a law should be passed
providing for an accounting by can
ldidates and campaign managers of
all sums of money collected for polit-
ical purposes.
Fifth-We demand the redistrict-
fng of Kentucky in legislative. sena-
torial, congressional and judicial dis
tricts, which shall give equal repre-
|sentation and equal voting power to
|every citizen Of every district, in con-
formity with the plain requirements
of the constitution, and not as at
present, in fragrant violation thereof.
sixth-There should be prompt
and efficient enforcement of the
criminal laws of every kind, and at
all times, but especially at this time
do we call for the rigid enforcement
of the law against those forms of
crimes, which, under the recent adj
ministration of justice. in many COM
lmunities, have gone practically un-
punished Election thieves, gamblers.
pool room operators and others. to
commit crimes in the interest OF
those controlling the local admins

counties, should be punished. and the
juries should be SO selected as to

EXPOSES RANK CAPITOL FRAUD.
Expert Tells Commission Safes Are
Not Burglar Proof.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 21.- Chas.
d. Montague, a metallic furniture
expert of New York, testified before
the capitol investigation commission
today that the state had not only
been grossly overcharged for the me-
tallic furniture supplied by the Penn
sylvania Construction company, but
that he had gored into the burglar
proof vault" in the state treasury in
four hours with an ordinary eight
inch breast drill.
Mr.. Montague said also that the
four safes in the capitol for which
this concern was paid 100000 by
the state were worth only $27 900,
and that there was no chrome steel
or stel rails in the vault, only ordi.
nary steel. which any one could bore
into with ease.
AS to the first floor metallic furn.
iture, the expert said it cost s229,-
.231.1O and was worth only $132,
1883. On the entresol floor the
cases were billed at $151, 6SS.4O ant
worth s54,47O.65. Mr.. Montagu'
said Architect Huston designed" me
tallic furniture for rooms which d
mot contain any at all and that tn
plans for which Huston collected
commission of $4,000 from the stat
as his own were prepared by a con
pany which supplied metallic furr
liture to the Pennsylvania compan.

the first floor was worth $26,0ON
The state paid $500, 1000.

Pleas of Guilty Received.

SIDNEY, Ia, Jan. ESPECIAL LAST
evening was witnessed the strange spec
tacle of a criminal begging to be allowed
to plead guilty to a graver crime than the
one the Jury had found him guilty OF.
James Madison, the negro who assaulted a
railroad brakeman and was found guilty
of assault with intent to do great bodily
injury. was given the extreme penalty for
this offense, one year in the county jail.
He said he would rather go to the peni-
Tertiary than to lie in jail a year, and
Judge Green set aside the verdict OF the
jury and gave him six months in the state
prison for attempted granddaughter, to
which he pleaded guilty, while claiming to
be Innocent.
Charles Bennett, alias Prof. Williams,
pleaded guilty to obtaining money under
false pretenses and was sentenced to six
months at Fort Madison. He collected
money from Hamburg boys to buy band
uniforms and departed with the proceeds.
He likewise tired of the county jail. where
he has spent the winter playing solos to
the barren walls, his audience being out
side, composed of the passersby. who often
stopped, entranced by the music of the
Gagged minstrel.

ATTORNEY BROWN ANXIOUS
Calls on Sheriff to See Why Saloon InjunO-
ton Papers Have Not Been Served.
SHERIFF STATES FORCE HAS BEEN BUSY
II Papers Are to he served on All the
saloons sheriH Denires 20 wait
and Make One Job of the
whole Affair

]. Brown, tho mysterious lawyer and
dealer in real estate from Kansas, failed to
file any more notices Of injunction suits
against Council Bluffs saloons yesterday,
but he was In evidence all the same. Early
in the morning Mr.. Brown called at Sheriff
Cannings Office to Inquire why it was that
none of the notices of suit had been
served by the sheriff. Mr.. Brown was
informed that the sherifrs force had been
busy attending to other court matters and
that the notices would be served in duo
time. This explanation appeared to satisfy
Mr.. Brown and he left the sheriff's office
without offering any information as to
what his next move would be.
AS 1t was presumed that Mr.. Brown and
his associates, whoever they might be,
planned injunction suits against each and
every saloonkeeper in Council Bluffs and
Pottawdttamie county, Sheriff Canning
stated yesterday that he thought it best
to wait until all the original notices had
been filed and then he and his deputies
could serve them in a bunch.
The Iowa mulct law provides a fee of
SIS for the attorney bringing injunction
suits for violation of the law in each case
Up TO a few years ago the business of pros
ecuting saloonkeepers was more profitable
as the law provided for a fee of 500 In
each case for the attorney bringing the
suit.
