MAYOR IN NAME ONLY
Says HENEY OF
SCHMITz
San Francisco Executive Can
Hold Office Until Higher
Court Decides His Fate.
TERM MAY EXPIRE
BEFORE THAT TIME

San Francisco, June 14.-Accord-
ing to a statement made today by
Acting District Attorney Heney, Eu-
gene Schmitz, being convicted of
crime, becomes mayor in name only.
He can not be ousted from office
until his conviction is upheld by a
higher court, and his term may ex-
pire before that decision is reached.
While he Is in prison, should he be
sent there, the supervisors must Sc
lect one of their number to act mayor
Decision Popular.
Schmitz' conviction was received
with approval by 80 per cent of the
people of San Francisco. The one
time popular official has descended
to a level where he has few friends.
Ruefs testimony, supported only
by that of one or two of the French
restaurant keepers, would have been
sufficient to have convicted the may
or, according to a juryman.
Schmitz will, of course, immediate
ly appeal the decision. He will en-
deavor to continue acting as mayor,
but will be deprived of all power.
Schmitz Denied Bail.
Mayor Schmitz, convicted last
night by jury of the crime of ex-
tortion, asked Judge Dunno today to
release him on bail until his sentence
is pronounced on Thursday, June 81.
The court said that the mayor, like
any other convicted criminal, should
be locked in jail and denied bail,
pending sentence.

posed by President Figueroa.
Head of Salvador Gov
eminent.

Washington, d. c., June 14.-What
amounts to an actual declaration OF
war between Nicaragua and salvador
was contained in the reply of Presi-
dent Zelaya to an inquiry from WASH
ington as to his connection with the
recent attack and capture of Aca-
Julia. "a
The answer came in the shape OF
cablegram from the American con-
sui, General Olivares, at Managua.
II am officially informed that, in
accordance with the Central Ameri-
can union plan, President Zelaya has
dispatched munitions of war and
troops to the aid of General Alfara,
who is the popular unionist candidate
for president of Salvador. President
Fugeroa opposes the union idea
Small Fight.
The Salvadorean minister here has
received a cablegram from President
Fugeroa dated today at San Salvador,
as follows:
Government troops met the revo-
lutionists at Sonsonata, a town forty
miles from Acajutla, and routed
them, driving them back to Acajutla,
where they are now trying to en-
bark"
Led by American.
The gunboat Yorktown Is expected
to arrive at Acajutla today. No 9TH
er vessels have so far been give6
orders to proceed to the scene of
trouble. .atA- ~
Not the least interesting part Of
the whole incident is that fact Mat
an American citizen Is said to have
been the leader OF the move. He Is
John Moissant, a wealthy sugar plan
ter who formerly resided in San
Francisco and is now a prisoner in
the artillery garrison at San Saliva
dor. 1t is said he will later be tried
by the Salvadorean government.
Moissant is one of four brothers, who,
beside owning one of the richest
sugar plantations in Central America,
possesses considerable property in San
Francisco. The home of the Mols-
SAINTS in that city was at 1850 Fulton
street, now occupied by Burton Weyl,
a brother-in-law.
Driven to Boats.
At IL o'clock last night Minister
Mejia received a second cable from
President Fugeroa announcing that
the revolutionists had ransacked the
town of Sonsonata, before they were
driven from the village by the gov--
ernment troops. The soldiers enter
ed the custom houses. several gov
ernmental offices, the branch offices
of the Occidental and Salvadorean
banks and many private residences
After being routed they fled 20
AcaJutla where the governmental Of
fees and banks were also ransacked
and boarded a Nicaraguan steamer.
Minister Mejia believes that many of
the revolutionists were killed at the
battle of Sonsonata.

but drove him back by shooting at
him.

discovered a man in one of the tun-
nels and being shot at. He said he
saw only the one man.
His cross examination was not con-
cluded when the noon recess was
taken.

amining during the morning session,
but contented itself with a general OBJ
lection to all the testimony offered,
and showing that 1t was Pinkerton
