for Office.

Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco,
who was recently convicted of accept
ing brides and who was sentenced to
the penitentiary, has made appoint
ments to fill the vacancies created by
the forced designations of thirteen
members of the Board of Supervisors.
Schmitz claims the right of appoint
ment on the ground that he is the
rightful mayor of San Francisco.
In giving out his appointments,
Mayor Schmitz made the following
comment on the municipal situation
Il am exceedingly sorry to see
this supervisorial tangle, for it 10
likely to cause a deal of litigation for
the city and county of San Francisco
for years to come. My own course
is clear. Acting upon the advice of
my attorneys, which | believe to- be
absolutely legal, hold that /, as
mayor of San Francisco, have the
sole power OF appointment to vacan-
cies in municipal offices, and that the
appointive acts of E. B. Taylor are
void and incapable of legal support.
Schmitz complained that his pri-
vate mail is being opened by Mayor
Taylor. He exhibited several letters
addressed to Hon. Eugene z.
Schmitz, San Francisco, Personal"
which have been slit open and mark
ed in indelible pencil. Opened by
Edward R. Taylor"
This is something that no man
will stand for said Schmitz. 81 shall
take it up Immediately with the au-
thorities at Washington, and press
the complaint to the limit against Mr..
Taylor"

Valparaiso School Commencement

The annual commencement exer-
cises of Valparaiso University Thurs
day night were attended by fully g.
900 persons The exercises were
held in the auditorium.
The entire commencement pro-
gram is regarded as the most sue
cessful ever given. The banquet Civ
on on the night before was attended
by larger crowd than had been ex-
pected.
The commencement address was
delivered by William Lowe Bryan,
president of Indiana University.
Aside from the regular address there
was an elaborate musical program.
Musical numbers were given by Prof.
August Wolf and Mrs. ]. N. Roe.
Degrees were conferred on 800
graduates by H. B. Brown, president
of the university This was an I'M
usually large number for degrees.
There were LOO graduates in the va
rious departments.
The year just closed has been one
Of the most successful in the history
of the university. The total enroll
ment during the year amounted to
4,7s3 The work in all departments
has been highly successful. Of the
graduates this year Indiana furnished
800. Every state in the nnion fur
nished one or more graduates.
Nearly two hundred students pass
ed through Plymouth on their way

Powers's Hopes Dashed.

1t is believed that the Caleb Powers
case will be continued until the No
vember term of. court. No move
ment was made Thursday toward Sc
curing special judge to succeed
Judge ]. E. Robbins by the prosecu-
ton.
Attorneys for the defense have
written a letter o Governor Beck
ham, who is at Bardstown, asking
him to appoint a judge so IL trial
can proceed, but I. action has yet
been taken
Powers and those of his counsel
who are still there held a conference
and are preparing a hot reply to the
statements made by Judge Robbins
when he was vacating the bench.
They refuse to state of what the reply
will consist, but will likely give it
out Saturday.
Attorneys for the prosecution have
all lett mere and VIII not return until
new judge is named.
Powers seems much cast down over
the death of "Tallow Dick" Combs,
who was killed by a train Wednes-
day night Combs was once charged
with the Goebel murder, and was al
legged to have been threatened by Col
Thomas c. Campbell of the prosecu-
ton if he did not testify the way
Campbell wanted. Combs also al
legged that he accused Henry Yout-
sey of killing Goebel while both were
in Jail and Youtsey did not deny it.
Judge N ]. Sauhey of Stanford is
strongly tipped for the special judge
ship.

Gives Strike Warning.

A strike of the employees of the
Pittsburg Coal company, involving
$4,000 men, is expected any moment
District President Feehan has given
notice that general strike at every
mine Of the company in the Pitts
burg district would be called before
the end of the week. Feehan has au-
thority to call the strike when he
deems best. The decision to call the
strike was made at meeting of the
executive board of district No. S.
President Freehan declares he will
not seek conference with the COM
pany, nor would he wait very long
tor an advance from the other side
The present trouble is the result of
disputes at four of the company's
Understanding Nos 1 and p Wick

the scale charged by the mine work
ers are that the eight hour clause is
not being lived up to-; that the dead
work scale is not paid and that the

A diverting feature of the situation
was the announcement by Gov. Stu
art at Harrisburg, of the appoint
ment of General Manager Schleuder-
berg, of the Pittsburg Coal Company,
and President Freehan on the same
commission for the revision of the BIZ
luminous mine laws of Pennsylvania.
About 100 employees of the docks
and marine ways at Elizabeth, %
miles from Pittsburg, went out on
strike early Thursday for shorter
hours. The, men are employed by the
Monongahela River Consolidated
Coal and Coke company and demand
ed eight hours day in place of nine
hours as heretofore. The men on
strike include carpenters and corkers.

Troops and Strikers Clash Again.

The city of LODI, Russia, is again
the scene of a strike movement &C
companied by violence, disorder and
death
strikers in the center of the town and
some thirty men have been killed or
wounded in this fight alone.
Business is at a standstill, and fears
are entertained of what the trouble
may bring forth 1t came to a
head Wednesday, and in spite of the
aggressive stand taken by the au-
thorities the disorders were renewed
Thursday morning.
The strike is serious 1t would APP
pear to be the beginning of big la
Dor war, and the workmen's unions
are prepared for long struggle. The
immediate cause of the outbreak on
Wednesday was the course pursued
by the police during the last eight
days in making a large number of
arrests in attempts to break up the
unions The principal Socialist lead
ers have been thrown into jail. The
police have been So energetic in their
measures against the unions that they
have united the Social Democrats,
the Polish Socialists and the Nation
alists, parties which, up to- the pres
ent time, have been waging merci-
less war, accompanied by daily muir
ders and outrages among themselves.
A general strike has been declared
and the Social Democrats and the
Polish Socialists have called out 49,
900 men. The Nationalist have been
forced TO join the committee of the
amalgamated unions The committee
has ordered that all business in LODI
cease Stores have been told to close,
and the power-house of the electric
traction system has been shut down.
The committee is enforcing its or
ders with armed men, and several
shopkeepers who refused to shut up
have been shot

Snake Forced to Find A New Lodg
ing House.

Sherman Gillians eighteen years
old, son OF William Gilians, a farmer
of Danville Ill, felt peculiar SEN
sation in the region of his nose, which
had been preceded by itching and a
slight flow of blood. The young man
commenced blowing his nose to get
relief, and, to his amazement, forced
from one OF his nostrils snake nine
inches long and about the circumf..r-
ence of knitting needle or hatpin
When the snake was stretched o..
it would quickly coil itself in the
manner of reptile hundred TINES
its size. The snake has been exhib-
tied to a namber of physicians, but
none would venture an opinion as TO
the snakes history and the why of its
existence.

Cause of Low Birth Rate.

1t costs $4,000 to bring up the
average child of middle class famil-
les who live in cities like New York
These are the figures given by John
Graham Brooks, the Boston author,
in lecture at Chautauqua
II hesitate to bring up the ques-
ton of race suicide" he said, but it
is a dismal fact that the increased ex-
pense of bringing up children in cit
les where the people either choose
or are compelled to live is largely
responsible for the decrease in the
birth rate"

Because the Carnegie peace palace

deal, Queen Wilhelminia is very an
cry She showed her displeasure on
Wednesday by refusing to attend the
laying of the foundation stone, al
though her government was repre-
scented. Queen Wilhelmina had ex-
pected the peace palace would be
built in the capitol, but Zorgvliet, a

a real estate syndicate is exploiting
Zorgvliet, using the peace palace as

Mr.. / BORAH MAY
SELECT JUDGE
Belief in Boise Hepburn
Wants James E. Babb
Named

A special to the Wallace Times from
Boise Saturday night, discussing the
federal judgeship appointment says:
Senator w. E. Borah left for Wash
ington last night in response to tel
egram, and it is believed he goes to
take hand in the selection of sue
cessor to Judge Beatty on the feder-
al bench of this state.
"A dispatch from Washington states
that Senator Hepburn declines to make
known his selection for the 1udgeship
but that it is know that the man Sc
lected by the senator is a railroad at
torney and that Hepburn hesitates
to make known the recommendation
because he fears the chief executive
will not make the appointment.
Hepburn Favors North Idaho
THE dispatch adds that the impress
sion is prevailing in Washington that
Heyburns choice is a north Idaho man.
1t is the belief here that if the i'm
preston in Washington is right that
the man selected is from north Idaho
that it is James E. Babb of Lewiston.
"Other dispatches from Washing
ton give the attitude of the president
on appointments to the bench as OPP
posed to the appointments of railroad
attorneys and cites as a precedent tn.
case in Oregon on the death of Judge
Bellinger. when the president refused
to appoint w w Cotton, general coun-
sci of the Hartman lines in Oregon,
though he had the strongest possible
line of endorsements.
"The calling of Senator Borah to
Washington. presumably on a consul
tation on the judgeship question.
marks the beginning of what may be
an interesting contest between the two
senators from this state over the fed
eral patronage.
1T is generally anticipated here that
the resignation of Judge Beatty. COM
ing as 1t did. together with his express
sed wishes that his successor be APP
pointed and confirmed before March
4, before Senator Borah was sworn in,
was direct slap at the latter and
has been resented deeply by Senator
Borah's friends who are now delight
ed that he has been asked to come to
Washington for consultation on the
question.
There is feeling of deep salts
faction over the probability that the
president may accept the recommends
ton Of Senator Borah and appoint a
man selected by him and thus ad-
minister a sharp rebuff to the senior
senator"
