FIVE YEARS
FOR SCHMITz
SAN FRANcIsco's MAYOR. MUST
DO TIME-vERDIcT MEETS
APPROVAL or ALL :, s,

SAN. FRANCISCO, July S.-Eugene
E. Sehmitz was today sentenced TO
serve Ave years in the San Quentin
state prison and the great throng pack
ing the court room roared its approval
Of the sentence in one of the most as
tonishing outbursts ever heard in =
California court.
Schmitz fought against his sentence
in a way to render the scene as pain
full as that of an execution. He pro-
tested against the words that Judge
Dunno was using-words that burned
worse than the sentence itself. He
kept interrupting, protesting his rights
as an American citizen, and disclaim-
ng against lecture" that Inundated
him. Attorney Vim. H. Nelson also
broke into protest against what he
called cruel and inhuman punishment
and Judge Dunno threatened him with
Jail. He retorted with a counter
threat and the expression of willing
ness to meet the Judge in court or else
where.
And so things were at the ticklish
point when the actual words of SEN
tence was pronounced. 1t was pre-
sumed that a majority of the tiptoe-
ing corwd that overspread into the
seats of the lawyers had a sneaking
sympathy of friendliness for the may
or but once the fiye-year penalty was
inflicted there was revelation.
That's bully" shouted voice, and
a roar of approval went up that made
the stout building tremble.
That's the stuff" shouted another,
and there was a great clap of hands
and stamping of feet.
Send Oman along with him,
roared one and Chief Jerry Oman
turned in his place and asked savage
ly, Who's that?"
Schmitz turned to face the mob, ev-
identity surprised at the demonstra-
ton. He saw that practically all pres
ent were against him. Fairall, his
attorney, asked to have the demon
stration made a part of the record.
The prosecutors were as much sur
prised as anyone They had not an
idea that their work had met with
such general approval until that shout
came from crowd made up of all
kinds and conditions of men. with
sprinkling of curious women.

SOMETHING BETTER
THAN SUCCESS

"A C. Benson in July Putnam's.)
A sagacious, shrewd, acute man OF
the world is sometimes mere NUS
ance. he has made his prosperous
corner at the expense of others, and
he has only contrived to accumulate,
behind a little fence of his own, what
was meant to be the property OF all
have known a good many successful
men, and l cannot honestly say that
I think that they are generally the
better for their success. They have
often learned self-confidence, the
shadow of which is a good-natured
contempt for ineffective people; the
shadow, on the other hand, which fails
on the contemplative man is an undue
diffidence, an insolent depression, a
tendency to think that it does not very
much matter what anyone does.
But, on the other hand, the contem-
Native man sometimes does grasp
one very important fact-that we are
sent into the world, most of us, to
learn something about God and our
selves: whereas, If we spend our lives
in directing and commanding and con-
sulting others, we get so swollen a
sense of our own Importance, our own
adroitness, our own effectiveness that
we forget that we are tolerated rather
than needed. 1t is better on the whole
to tarry the Lords leisure than to try
impatiently to force the hand OF Cod
and to make amends for his apparent
slothfulness. What really makes
nation grow, and improve. and pro-
gres. is not social legislation and or
ganization. That is only the sign OF
! the rising moral temperature, and a
man who sets an example of sober
ness. and kindness, and contentment
s better than a pragmatical district
visitor with taste for rating meek
persons.

"B. p. Hutchinson used to say no

II remained for Chief Simon O'Donnell
to put one over on the famous trader.
You know, Mr.. Hutchinson was ia
nous in Chicagos commercial life years
ago and was known popularity as Old
Hutch He prided himself on the fact
that burglars had never gotten into
his house. and often boasted of the
fact to his intimates. One day, while
he was at lunch with Chief O'Donnell
and a number of other friends. the
company fell to discussing a crime that
had been committed the night before.
I'D like to see anybody get into my
house. Mr.. Hutchinson said. why, I
hear every tick Of the clock all night.
"TH bet you dinner for this crowd,
said the chief. that I can produce a
man who will enter your house and
you will not know Of his visit till
morning
Mr.. Hutchinson accepted the wager.
and 1t was agreed that he was to let
the chief have a latch key so that the
burglar could get in without being dis
turbed by some patro.man. Mr.. Hutch.
inson also agreed to leave some article
OF value In the parlor where ii could
be found readily. The chief said the
robbery would be committed within the
following week.
Three days later Mr.. Hutchinson
awoke In the morning and discovered
that both sheets of his bed, which had
been in place when he retired, were
gone. So was the antique gold clock
he had left on q mantel. He hurriedly
dressed and hastened after breakfast
to the chiefs Office. O'Donnell saw him
coming, and, as he entered the office,
greeted him with:
and a clock that belong to you. We
will have the dinner today
THE burglary was done by former
criminal who at the time had reformed
and was in a respectable line of busi-
ness. He did the job at the request of
the chief. How did he get the under
sheet? He rolled Nj. Hutchinson over.
