MAY0RSCHMI7z,
San FRANCISC0S Chief RE-
MANDED TO SHERIFF'S 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 ap-
plication made by the mayors counsel
that he be given his liberty under
bond pending sentence, which court
will pronounce on June II.
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 was
to be confined in jail unless upon or
ders of court.
Former Judge J. G. 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 a
brief speech, opposed the motion for
bail. He said that Schmitz, convicted
of felony, appeared before court, not
as 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
member of the board shall be chosen
president pro tenn. to act as mayor.
1t was not necessary that Schmit7
should perform any of the duties speci
fed in his affidavit.
Mayor Schmitz sat without the be
trayal of any emotion during these
proceedings.

trict Attorney w. H. Langdon, Jht

SUBWAY Is RUNNING BUILDING
Cracks Begin to Show In New York
Courthouse.

New York's 100000 criminal court
building is in danger of collapse, and
Public Works Commissioner Thomp-
son has appointed a committee of en-
gineers to suggest means of making
it safe. The subway runs close to
the foundations and the structure has
been sinking gradually since it was

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 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 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 $411 to pay on final
proof. After deciding the land to Ket.
tenbach and Kester he received a
check for $I3S. #fs -a 81. s4

GUILTY, AS CHARGED
IS The VERDICT Of TIMBER
GRADERS In idaho.
w. r. Kettenback, G. n. Hester and
w. Dryer Charged With Conspiracy
on Five Counts, Guilty of Two-vic-
tory for Prosecuton-Cases Will Be
Carried to U. S. Court of Appeals.

4 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, were 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 O'clock,
after having deliberated "a hours.
Each Of the three defendants was
charged with conspiracy on five
counts, each representing quarter of
cured at an average price of $500 each.
The particular counts, under which
they were convicted are believed to
be counts and 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 baniff notifying
the court officials, who instructed
them to report Immediately at the
courtroom. l
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 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. Il
The verdict is considered 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.

Angeles the action was without
approval of the national officers, was
taken hurriedly, and action was due in
every other instance to local decision,
without any serious attempt to com
promise the difficulties before throwing
all of the business of the country into
hopeless confusion and causing an in
calculable money loss.
The claim now is made that the
wages paid expert telegraphers are too
low; lower, indeed, than paid to ex-
pert labor in any other avenues OF
business. This arises, in great part,
from the fact that there are few op-
portunities for employment to teleg-
raphers outside of the two companies
which monopolize the business Of the
country and which work as a general
rule, in harmony. The trouble having
begun, the employees took the occasion
of calling for a general settlement OF
all their complaints.

restaurant has long been recognized
as one Of the first IN Buda-Pesth
but the other day small boy who
washes up the dishes complained to
the proprietor OF the badness OF the

Forester to leave II he was not salts

This answer was communicated TO
the secretary OF the Walters associa-
ton, who came down Immediately
and demanded an apology on behalf
of the boy. This the owner refused
10 give; therefore, the secretary
called upon all the walters to cease
work. which they did.
Guests in the middle OF their din
ner were left to themselves, several
waiting upon their families person
ally. The proprletor's son then rush
ed out and secured some Mattresses,
and in this manner the meal was con-
cluded.
Early the next morning when the
doors were opened a huge crowd OF
walters rushed into the restaurant
and occupied all the tables, there
fore making it impossible for any
body else to be served. Not only did
they do this, but the police had to
be requisitioned in order to protect
the property.
Mr.. Forester had to stand at the
entrance to inform customers that
food could not be served. Finally the
walters distributed foul-smelling

from the tall grass requested the
secretary OF the treasury to lend

the United States is not in the money
