quoted TO. the younger generation as

strike Ruef put Schmitz forward as the
champion of the unions.
Ruef belonged to none Of the unions,
and was not i'll sympathy with them.
Schmitz, too was in no sense recognized
Dy the unions as a leader, nor was his
union of musicians politically influential
but in the midst of the excitement over
the strike anybody who would work for
the union cause was gladly welcomed and
so Ruef and Schmitz soon found them
selves in the forefront of the fight
SchmitZ, thanks to his engaging per-
sonal appearance and thanks to Ruef's
adrOit wire pulling, got the nomination
for mayor on the union labor ticket.
When the election returns were counted
Schmitz was found to have been elected,
but the balance of the county officials
were elected by Schmitz's opponents For
this reason neither Schmitz nor Ruef were
able to assert themselves with strength,
nor were they able to go any grating.
Schmitz's Second Race.
FAt the end of Schmitz's first term he
was again put forward as a candidate on
the ground that he had been given no OPP
portUnity to prove his worth, handicapped
as he was by antagonistic county Off
Gals and supervisors. Ruef managed his
campaign for him, casting aside all for
mer Republican pretensions. Scfmitz
was elected on a straight labor ticket and
with him cabinet of labor union Off
Gals. Then Ruef came forward in his
true colors. as the power behind the
throne. and ever since that time San
Francisco has known him as its Curly
boss"
Mayor Schmltz. on the day that he took
office, came out in a public letter in
which he rendered thanks to Ruef for
everything, while at the same time prom
ised to refer all matters of public mo-
ment to Ruef as his trusted legal coun-
sellor. Any one applying to the mayor
for appointment. a franchise or a permit
was referred to Ruef. The lid was ia
ken off San Francisco and dives and
bawdy houses were allowed to flaunt
their vice all over town. When clergy
men and other citizens protested Mayor
Schmitz solemnly proclaimed that sea-
port. like San Francisco. must necessar-
fly be of loose moral tone. Nothing was
said, however. of the profits accruing to
the mayor and his satellites from the hush
money paid for such license Meanwhile
the sheep were sent to the master shear
er, Ruef, and the shearer silently gath
cred his wool
No graft was too mean or too petty for
Ruef. Every saloonkeeper. every bar
tender. policeman, street walker and even
the Cinnamon, had TO pay tithes for their
illegftimate earnings. A ''Schmitz Cen

Ruef Sole Attorney.

Restaurant keepers found themselves
compelled to employ an attorney to rep
resent them on applications for renewal
OF liquor licenses. Only one attorney was
ever employed. He was Abe Ruef His
fees were from 500 to $500 But that was
not enough. The Hilbert Mercantile COM
pany was formed to sell liquors. The
president of this firm was the man who
afterward travelled about Europe with
Schmitz, boasting everywhere of his ILL
gotten gains. On the letter heads of the
Hilbert Mercantile company the name of
"A. Ruef, Attorney" appeared in bold

befen them.
The Hilbert Mercantile company
branched out in other directions. Thus
when the army officers of the Preside
complained about the low dives that had
opened up at the entrance of the military
reservation after the abolition of the
army canteen, Mayor Schmitz, in appar-
emily righteous Indignation, ordered the
places to be closed and revoked their IL
censes. Thirty men were driven out Of
business. Then the Hilbert Mercantile
company leased two vacant store rooms
where the saloons had formerly done bus
mess. The stores were equipped with
bars, and were offered for rent at exor-
bitant prices on condition that all LIQUORS
must always be purchased from the Hill
bert Mercantile company. The places

thirty liquor dealers were suppressed to
create a monopoly for one.
By such means and otherwise Ruef and
Schmitz accumulated rapid fortunes.

He wanted overhead trolley wires strung

Were incompetent.

The new board of supervisors at their
first meeting showed themselves utterly
Incompetent for the business in hand. To
have them carry out any semblance of ef-
ficiency Ruef had to drill them each week
in their parts before they were permitted
to appear in public. Ruef. not Schmitz,
directed their secret meetings. the boss,
not the mayor, dictated their actions. The
puppet show complete, with all
strings in Ruefs hands.
Before the new machine was in perfect
working order, the earthquake and fire
Of twelve months ago momentarily
changed the aspect of affairs and appar-
entity disrupted the organization.
But while the fire was still shoulder
ing Schmitz's evil spirit was at work.
The necessities of reconstruction were
great Immediate action was necessary
to restore business. While the city was
lying PROSTATE from the terrible catas-
trophe that had befallen it, and money
was being brought into it TO help its i'm
mediate needs, Ruef seized the moment
to exact greater sums OF blood money
than he had ever collected before. The
confessions of San Franciscos boodling
city fathers have shown that the Home
Telephone company paid SlJo,VOV TO Ruet-
as a fee for obtaining their FRANCHISE
while they paid only 81. 600 for the fran
chise. Most of the money that they had
promised for San Francisco'S relief fund
went into the hands of Ruef or Schmltzs
