MAYORSCHMITz,
SAN FRANCISCO'S CHIEF RE-
MANDED TO SHERIFFS CARE.
He Must Stay in Jail by Order of the
Judge-Mayor Pleads Press of Work
Attorney Langdon Insists Defend
ant Appears Before Court as Would
Any Ordinary Citizen.

San Francisco-"No bail for Eugene
E. Schmitz," the convicted mayor of
San Francisco, was the ruling made
by Judge Frank H. Dunno, in the APP
plication made by the mayors counsel
that he be given his liberty under
bond pending sentence, which court
will pronounce on June 81.
Judge Dunno adopted as his own the
stand of the prosecution that in the
eyes of the law the mayor is no diff
ferent from any other prisoner on
whom a jury has set the brand of
felony.
Judge Dunno then called the sheriff
before him and said that Schmitz was
not to be allowed his liberty, but vas
to be confined in jail unless upon or
ders of court.
Former Judge ]. c. Campbell, the
mayors chief counsel, made the formal
motion for the admittance of his client
to bail on the strength of an affidavit
in which the mayor says that by rea-
son of having been compelled to give
almost his whole time and attention to
his trial for the last four weeks, pub
lie business requiring his attention has
been delayed, and there is now large
amount of it pending and undetermin-
ed and requiring his immediate atten-
ton.
schmitz "Ordinary Citizen"
District Attorney Langdon, in
brief speech, opposed. the motion for
bail. He said that Schmitz, convicted
of felony, appeared before court, not
as a mayor of San Francisco, but as
an ordinary citizen, and possessing no
extraordinary rights. In counter af-
fidavit, which he read, he denied the
allegations of the mayor as to public
matters requiring the personal atten-
ton of the mayor.
Mr. Langdon reminded the court that
as the San Francisco charter provides
that $50 long as the mayor is tenn
porarily unable to perform his duties,
| a member of the board shall be chosen
president pro TEN. to act as mayor"
It was not necessary that Schmitz
should perform any of the duties speci-
| fed in his affidavit.
Mayor Schmitz sat without the be-
trayal of any emotion during these
proceedings.
Later Report.
Acting under instructions from Dis
triot Attorney w. H. Langdon, the
board of supervisors adopted a resolu-
ton declaring Mayor Schmitz temper
arily unable to perform his official
duties, and appointed Supervisor J. L.
Gallagher acting mayor. Those in
charge of the bribery graft prosecution
are by this move placed in actual con-
troll of the municipal situation. 1t is
the plan of the prosecution forces to
ask for the resignation in a few days
of some one of the eighteen supervisors.
The first act of the reform mayor, if
the prosecution s program is carried
out, will be to demand the resignation
of practically the entire Schmitz adj
minstration, whose places will be filled
with reform agents.
Unless disturbed by the courts the
nePw regime will endure until next
January, the time for the induction of
officers to be chosen at the municipal
election next November.

GUILTY, AS CHARGED
is The VERDICT OF TIMBER
GRABBERS In IDAHO.
w. r. Kettenback, G. RI. Kester and
w. Dryer Charged With Conspiracy
on Five Counts, Guilty of Two-Vic-
tory for Prosecution-Cases Will Be
Carried to U. S. Court of Appeals.

Moscow, Idaho, June 17.-William
f. Kettenbach, George H. Kester and
William Dwyer, the first named the
Lewiston bankers, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the government in
timber land entries, we're found guilty
on two of the counts in the federal
court Sunday evening and acquitted on
the remaining counts. The jury sud
denly reached a verdict at 8 o'clock,
after having deliberated "a hours
Each Of the three defendants was
charged with conspiracy on FIVE
counts, each representing a quarter Of
section of land, the tracts being Sc
cured at an average price Of $500 each.
The particular counts under which
they were convicted are believed to
be counts and 4 the first one being
known as the Charles Carey count,
the second as the Guy l.. Wilson count
The jury reached a verdict shortly
before bedtime, the banlff notifying
the court officials, who instructed
them to report Immediately at the
courtroom.
At S:45 o'clock the jury filed slowly
into the box with the exception of J..
w. Robinson, who was carried on a
cot, his aged form covered with blan-
kets, his head being swathed in ban
dages, which completely covered his
snow-white hair and beard Judge
DIETRICH assembled the bench and or
dered a poll of the jury. In low tones
he inquired if the jury had reached a
verdict, and was informed they had.
Taking the closely written document,
he scanned its contents in asboluate
silence. Addressing the spectators,
Judge DIETRICH requested that no dem
onstrations be made when the verdict
was read.
The verdict is considered a victory
for the prosecution in almost every
particular. The stubbornly fought case
has occupied four weeks.
No indication was made by attor-
neys for the defense as to the likeli-
hood of appeal, but it is considered
certain the case will be carried at
least to the United States court of ap-
peals.

The Specific Charges.

Guy L. Wilson. upon whose testi-
mony one of the verdicts of guilty was
reached, was the first witness called
in the case. He said on the witness
stand that Dwyer promised him $3.50
for filing on a timber claim and that
he drove through the desired land with
Dwyer at the latter's expense. He filed
on it some time later, as Dryer told
him that the land was not yet ready
for occupancy. AT the time of the ia
NOUS lineup in front of the Lewiston
land office, Wilson testified that he
was unable to be present and that
Dwyer hired a boy to substitute for
him. The witness also said that Dwyer
coached him on the answers he should
make at the land office and gave him
his filing fee and SAIL to pay on final
proof. After deciding the land to Ket-
tenbach and Kester he received a
'check for $I38.

Col. Edqar's Address.

Col. Geo. M. Edgar's address on
Stonewall jackson at the Y. NC. A.
Thursday night was q splendid tribute
to the famous hero of the Shenandoah
Valley. His large audience, which
crowded the hall, was delighted and
expressed their enthusiasm by frequent
and hearty applause. Capt. Morton
presided. and Capt. Bumgardner in
troduced the speaker in some well
chosed words. DIR. Scott opened the
proceedings with a most appropriate
PRAYER. and the whole affair was de-
eided success. There are many that
could not attend on account of the
very bad weather, who wish to have
the gallant soldier and finished scholar
and orator repeat his lecture herr, and
it is hoped that at some not distant
day be can be prevailed upon to do so.

Zero w Gather.

Staunt0n Is having some zero wealth

thermometers occasionally fall to ten
degrees above. but not often. This
week, however, the mercury has been
cutting some unusual antics, and has
been making some low weather records
for several night. Six degrees above
was the worst and we thought that
bad enough. but Wednesday night the
mercury went to zero by eleven O'Clock.
Thursday morning it stood at 8 below.

only reporting from our own instru.
