MAYOR SCHMI1z
AGAIN BEATEN
District Court of Appeals Re-
fuses to Issue Peremp-
tory Writ of Mandate.

San Francisco, July 14.-Mayor
Schmitz suffered another defeat this
morning when his application to the
court of appeals for writ of mandate
was exposed by Attorney c. W. Cobb,
representing the prosecution, as a sham
and pretense laid upon the founda-
ton of misstatements and deception.
The petition charges that Judge
Dunno was biased; alleges that he has
refused to settle the bill of exceptions,
and that he is purposely hindering the
perfection Of the appeal in order to
keep Schmitz in the county Jail.
In his answer to the petition Attor-
ney Cobb denied these accusations,
narrated the circumstances causing the
delay and declared that Judge Dunno
has been willing to expedite the settle
mert as the statute directs.
Would Not Issue Writ.
After hearing this answer Presiding
Judge Cooper said that as question
Of fact was involved the court would
not attempt to issue a peremptory writ
until the issue had been settled. The
hearing was thereupon indefinitely con-
tinued, the court expressing a belief
that Judge Dunno will do his duty.
The attorneys for Schmitz sought to
have the hearing postponed to Tues
day, but Judge Cooper disposed of lit
by saying:
When this alternative writ was is
sued it was on a verified complaint
charging that the judge had refused
three times to settle the bill of excep-
tons. The answer raises a distinct
issue, and it will be necessary TO take
testimony before 1t is determined. The

NEW AND HONEST
men NEEDED
District Attorney Langdon Dis
appointed Over Failure to
Secure Cooperation.

San Francisco, July 13.-District At
torney Langdon today made the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-THE prosecution is keenly disap-
pointed by the failure Of the labor and
commercial organizations of the city
to assent to it's plan for a convention
OF thirty delegates to select for ap-
pointment by the board of supervisors
a successor to Mayor BOxtOn. 1t is nee
esSary that new and honest mayor be
at once selected to bring order out
of the municipal chaos that prevails.
The prosecution, despite the charges
brought against it of wanting to do
politics, has no more, earnest desire
than to rid itself without further delay
of the political end Of the situation and
devote itself wholly to the work of
furnishing the bribe-givers and other
malefactors who have debauched San
Fra nciScO."

Washington. July ia report was
made public today by the interstate
commerce commission of it's inquiry
into railroad operations of Edward H
Hartman and of the operations of the
sO-called Hartman lines of railway,
which has been in progress for several
months. The report, which was writ
ten by Commissioner Franklin K. Lane,
is the unanimous expression of the
commission. The report has been trans
mitted to President Roosevelt and the
department of justice.
1t is expected by the commission that
it will be determined by the president
and Attorney General Bonaparte from
the statements set out in the report
whether the government will institute
any sort of proceedings against Mr..
Hartman or the corporation involved
in the inquiry. No recommendations
are made by the commission as to
whether criminal or civil prosecutions
be instituted as u result of its inquiry.
Report Is Exhaustive.
The report is an exhaustive sUmma-
ry of the evidence adduced at the sew
-eral hearings held by the commission
in the course of its inquiry. In enters
fully into discussion of the policy
pursued by Mr.. Hartman in obtaining
contPOl of the various lines of railway
in the Hartman system and presents
fairly complete history of the opera
tions of the various lines. Excerpts
from the verbatim testimony of Mr..
Hartman are given to show, as stated
in the report, that it is only the law
which prevents the concentrating in
Mr.. Harriman's hands of every rail-
road line lying between Canada and
Mexico" as the frank admission of
Mr.. Hartman himself made at the
hearing The report also says:
TO gather under one head all exist
ing trans-continental lines, or as many
as possible, and to exclude the incOm-
ing of all competitors became mani
testify the Hartman policy which was
inaugurated in 1901 by the issuance Of
500, 000, 900 of convertible bonds by the
Union Pacific"
MIR. Harriman's eventual control OF
many Of the competing trans-cOnti-
mental lines was prevented, it is point
ed out, by the supreme courts decision
in the Northern Securities case. 1t is
shown by the reports that it has not
been the Hartman policy to permit the
properties brought under Union Pa
cific control to decline, as in every case
they are better today than they were
when Mr.. Hartman acquired them.

mission on the elimination of cOmpeti-

RECEIVED THE RED HAT
POPE Plus K HOLDS A. PUBLIC
CONSISToRY.

ROME, April 1s.-A public consistory took
place at the vatican today with great cere-
mony. This being the season in which
Rome is crowded with tourists, the demand
for tickets was extraordinary. At an early
hour all the streets leading to st. Peters
were black with people. hurrying to get
good places at the vatican, and soon the
hall Of Qualifications and the corridors
through which the papal procession passed
were crowded with priests, monks. laymen
and ladies in black wells, while the tribunes
erected for the occasion contained the fam
lily Of the pope, the Roman aristocracy
and the members of the diplomatic corps.
The procession accompanying the pope
was long and interesting. being composed of
many notable personages. The Swiss guard
headed the procession, and the notable
guard surrounded the person of the pontiff,
who was dressed In white. He was pre-
coded by the cardinals in full red robes. and
followed by the bishops and archbishops.
The New Cardinals.
When the pontiff was seated on the
throne, the six new cardinals advanced one
by one to receive the red hat. Each prelate
knelt at the feet of the pope, while the
master of ceremonies held a magnificent
red hat over the cardinals head, and the
pope Saying, Ac'ipe gaze iuii iuoi UNI
etc. rose and gave the papal embrace. The
new cardinals then passed from cardinal
to cardinal to receive the kiss OF brother
hood. while the choir sang softly. The
only cardinal created at the secret con-
sistory of April ID who was not present was
Mgr. Rinaldini, the papal nuncio at Mad
rid, who Will receive his red hat at the
next public consistory.
The pope then impaired the apostolic
blessing and withdrew. surrounded by his
court and guards, to preside later at A sup

CUNARD NOT TO MOVE
WILL CONTINUE TO LAND IN
LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL. April 1S.-PresidIng today
at the annual meeting of the Cunard
Steamship Company. Chairman Watson
said he had no positive announcement to
make as to whether or not the company
proposed to move from Liverpool to chan
mel port. He thought the best interests Of
the Cunard Line would be served by leav-
ing the matter in allegiance for the present
The new steamers Lusitania and Maure-
tania would be running in a few months,
and the company had entered into a salts
factory lease with the New York city au-
thorities for increased dock accommodation.
Regarding the relations with competitors,
the chairman said although there were no
binding agreements regarding rates they
remained practically unchanged.
The Continental Competitors.
The chairman hoped that this condition
would continue, as no company could hope
to derive benefit from change in the pres
ent practices Overtures had been made
to the Cunard Line to ally itself with its
continental competitors, but the terms sug-
gested were of such nature that this
could not be considered. The Cunard Line
wished to live in peace with its competitors
but it must be peace based on such share
of business as the Cunard Line was entitled
to. The company would not change the ex-
listing conditions unless 1t became neces-
sary to uphold its interests on fair and
equitable basis. The statement that the
Cunard company had sold its interest in the
Hungarian-A American trade was incorrect
and the Hungarian government has not
asked the company to cancel Its contract.
The Hungarian government was perfectly
loyal to its agreements, and the Cunard
Line had not the slightest doubt that 1t
would SO continue.

arguments will not be begun until that
time. 1t Is now thought the case will not

In substance the prayers offered by the
defense set forth that there is no evidence
that tends to show that Hermann was con-
nected in any way with the Hyde-Benson
land conspiracies; that in order to convict
the jury must find the following four facts;
First, that one or more of the conspiracies
alleged existed: second, that the defendant
was in some way connected with one or
more of them: third, that there was some
thing In the books destroyed that would
have tended to show this connection, and
fourth, that he destroyed the books to
keep secret such connection
