'HfNfY REFUSES
TO NEGOTIATE
Wants Complete Surrender from San
Francisco Mayor.
Ohio Capitalist Indicted ON 10 coun's
In Connection With Home Tsie-
phone Bridsry--Heney to lmpeach
and Remove Schmtz and Change
Supervisors.

San Francisco, March 23.-This was
by far the most sensational day In the
local graft situation. Mayor Schmlt2
sent an emissary to Assistant District
Attorney Honey and Detective Burns
and asked for terms. When no pro-
posals we're forthcoming the agents oil
the mayor made definite proposition.
They offered a confession from the
mayor for complete immunity and his
continuance in Office until the expira-
tion OF his term on January OF next
year. The offer was rejected with more
speed than 1t was made and the negoti-
atoms came to q quick end. The may
or's emissaries are expected to return.
1t is not thought that they seriously be-
lieved that the prosecution would con-
sent to the continuance OF Schmitz in
office. But it was simply to create a
point on which they could yield in
future negotiations.
Second only in importance to the
overtures from the mayer were the rev.
citation that 10 indictments had been
voted against Abraham K. Detwiler, a
capitalist from Ohio, who visited the
Pacific coast last April in the interest
Of the Home Telephone company.
Plans for the future government of
he city were evolved today by Mr..
Heney District Attorney Langdon and |
Rudolph Spreckels. With graft reach
ng into almost every branch Of the city
lffairs, the functions of government
AVE broken down completely. Instead
# an organized form of administration
francis J. Heney is practically dictator
# the city and county of San Francisco.
he people are conteIt to let him and
lis associates work out the problem.
he plan is to keep the boodling super
ispors in office for time. They will
hey Mr.. Heney's orders. OF this there
no doubt. Should they refuse, indict-
lent, trial and conviction and i'm
risonment would follow.
While the supervisors remain in office
impeachment proceedings will
Q brought against the mayor, and he
III be removed by judge of the Su-
erior court after hearing, which will
ot occupy more than a few hours.
'hmitz will be given chance to resign
avoid dismissal. K
After the election of Schmitz from
le Office the board Of supervisors Will +
ordered to elect as his successor '
me man to be chosen by Mr.. Heney, .
'obably District Attorney Langdon. '
tier the new mayor assumes office, Mr..
eney will order the is boodling su- q
rvisors to resign and they will resign !,

AMERICANS I'M PERIL.
Nicaraguans Threaten to Loot Cap
tured Cities of Honduras.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, March IS,
via New Orleans, March 20.-A turn oil
sinister significance was given to the
Central American war today by the
finding on the persons of captured Nj
caraguan soldiers proclamations prom
Using them loot of tho first cities which
they can capture in both Honduras and
Salvador.
Americans in Puerto Cortez are anx-
ious, because American residents are
the principal property holders of most
OF the Honduran cities. Any doubt as
to the completeness of such a loot is
dispelled not only by the wording of
the proclamations, but by the expert
ence had in 1894 by some of the per-
sons not living at Puerto Cortez, who
were present at the looting of Cholu-
teca, Honduras.

M'NALLY's GESTURES MADE A
DECIDED HIT WITH CREAsAP

Speaking of that bit Of poetry,
"Where bIeathes man with soul,
etc, ;" brings to mind a little incid-
ent which happened at the United
Brethren church here number of
years ago. The occasion was a cele-
bration in observance of the anni-
yersary of Emancipation day, and
John G.. McNally, the well known
local attorney, was the principal
figure. McNally, with Fred Guth-
cry, Of the law firm of Crissinger
q CUTLERY, were speakers for the
evening.
In the course Of an eloquent and
impassioned address, McNally took
occasion to interiect this bit Of
poetry which refers to the man
with the "soul so dead" and so
on. Immediately in front Of the
Speakers stand sat an orchestra,
and that's what caused the trou-
Bile.
Fired with the feryor Of elo-
quence, McNally started to recite
