Announcement Made by
Former Mayor at Jail

At the same time that the board
Of supervisors was being reconstructed
last night by Mayor Taylor at the
hall of Justice In Eddy street former
Mayor Schnitz appointed board of
bis own at the county jail. 1t was
admitted on behalf of Schmitz that
he had named 10 men to take the
places Of the boodlers. but he refused
to make public the list 1t was added
that the names probably would be
gwen out today. As soon as Schmitz
had made up his list he communicated
with Chief Of Police Dinan and In
formed him Of the action taken. 1t
was then arranged that the Schmitz
board should take possession of the
quarters in the hall of justice as soon
as possible, and Oman promised to
give full police protection to the
Schmitz representatives. San Fran
cisco, therefore. will find itself with an
extra government on its hands AS
Dinan has refused to recognize Mayor
Taylor's authority and will take orders
from Schmitz II may require a court
order to force him to desist in his at
tempts to block the regular city gov
ernment. This may force the issue
sooner than the projected suit to com
pei Auditor Horton and Treasurer Ban
tel 10 recognize Taylor's authority.
It is not likely that the Taylor gov
ernment win indulge in a rough and
tumble contest with the Schmitz ap-
pointees for possession of the quarters
in the hall Of justice. It viii be easier
TO adjourn to some other building and
+. carry on the city's affairs.
NO WORD FROM sCHMITZ
District Attorney Langdon said last
night that he had received no word
from schmitz and had taken no precau-
tions to protect the new board Of su-
pervisors. Mayor Taylor did not care
to discuss the subject
The first note OF the approaching dis
cord was sounded by Supervisors
Tveitmoe and o'Nen last night when
they intimated that trouble from a
double set OF officials was in store.
(. Tveitmoe said that Mayor Taylor
should have deferred the appointment
of the new supervisors until the courts
had determined his status "in order to
avoid a bigger tangle than the one we
are now in" Supervisor O'Neii spoAe
in a similar vein.
A few minutes later a telephone mes
sage from the county jail brought the
information that schmitz had received
word that the supervisors had resigned
and that he was making up a list of
his own. It4s said that he has not yet
been able TO inform all of his ap-
pointees. but that he will reach all of
them today and have them called to-

requested a number of men affiliated
with labor unions TO become members
Of his new board. Much secrecy is
being maintained as to the personnel of
the Schmitz board
WILL APPOINT FIETEEN MEN
When DR.. Charles Boxton resigned
from the board Schmitz was quick to
iii the vacancy with one Of his ap-
pointees. In fact. schmitz was too
quick, for he appointed Samuel Sawyer
before Boxton's resignation had been
accepted. schmitz will make Is more
appointments.
The deadlock viii come when both
boards order money paid out of the
treasury. If the situation does moth
