ROOSEVELT SAYS NO AGAIN
Once More the Statement Made on
Election Night Is Repeated and
This Time It Goes.

Washington. Dec. u.-President
Roosevelt will not be a candidate for a
third term. All doubt on this point
was tonight dispelled by the authOrita-
tive statement from the White house
that Mr.. Roosevelt still adheres to the
declaration of remuneration made on
the night of the election three years
ago. In the statement issued tonight,
President Roosevelt says he has not
changed and shall not change the de-
cision delivered to the American peo-
pie in 1904.
1t appears that President Roosevelt
has been awaiting the call for the Re
publican national convention to afford
the proper opportunity for making his
position clear and unmistakable, thus
leaving the field clear for Fairbanks,
Taft, Cannon, Knox. Foraker and 9TH
er declared or receptive candidates for
the Republican nomination.

They were kept out until the twelve men were brought down and seated. As the judge entered the chambers by a rear way the crowd surged into the building from the front.
 Then there was another wait of five minutes. The mayor had not arrived. He came presently in his red touring car. Nelson. Fairall, Barrett and Drew accompanying. They pressed down the aisle and quietly took their accustom- ed seats. Judge Dunne took the bench at once.

RATHER EXPECTED IT.
The Conditions Were Adverse, the
 Mayor Says. 70

San Francisco, June 13.--Mayor SchmitZ dictated the following state ment to the Associated Press tonight: No matter what the decision of the jury which was gotten under the most adverse circumstances regarding my self. 1 still maintain and affirm that I am absolutely innocent of the crime charged and will fight the case to the court of last resort. As I said before the trial l diA not expect, nor did I re- ceive fair or even decent treatment at the hands of Judge Dunne, and real izing his prejudice I made every ef- fcrt to have the case transferred to any other judge in the state. l do not take this as defeat and the decision makes me all the more determined to seek and secure justice in another court" All of Schmitz' counsel were present except ex-Judge Campbell.
 The mayor spoke quietly and with out emotion, but his face looked down. cast. He sat at the table talking with counsel. while a few loyal friends came up and shook him by the hand. Many of the city employees. appointees of SchmitZ. were present. and they showed tine greatest surprise and con sternation.
 Heney was not in the court room when the verdict was brought in. Even the prosecution did not expect such q quick decision by the jury and was unprepared for it. There was no sign of jubilation when the result was known among the forces of the prose- cution. They took victory quietly. Among the crowd were heard express sions of satisfaction that justice had been done. but mingled with them were words of regret that Schmitz. who had played such a gallant part during the fire and earthquake sue cumbed to the influences that had brought about his conviction for fel ony. The mayor will be a prisoner tonight and will apply for bail pending appeal. when court convenes.
 Langdon said to the Associated Press: 'The verdict shows that jus tice has been done. It shows that no man. no matter how proud and arro- gant or how high his position. is above the law. It vindicates the campaign instituted eight months ago to clean

The Defense Probes Into the Motive for
 His Confession
The Assassin Moved to Tears, Says That He Be- Appalled, at the FnOImity and H umber 0 His Crimes.

Boise. Idaho. June l3-The men who are battling to save the life of Haywood and the good name of the Western Federation made the greatest assault upon Orchard today when car rying the cross examination of his life of crime down to his confession, they bitterly assailed his guiding motives. Six days they spent in stripping him of every shred of morality and then suddenly turning in final. fierce at tack they fought with every means known to the legal craft to convince the jury that Orchard was committing the crime of falsely swearing away the lives of innocent men in rhe hope of saving his own.
 They carried the attack to tho very language in which the witness an- swered questions and everywhere they alleged by forceful implications that il was put into his mouth by the men controlling him. A series of quickly delivered attacks gave to the trial amid the scenes centering around the witness chair. a compelling human in terest. that gripped and held every man and women who watched and lis tened
 orchard faltered when they recited to him the tale of King David and Uriah that Detective Mcfarland re- lated to him when he came seeking a confession. He fought to save himself but the tears filled his eyes and he rocked unevenly. like a fainting wo- man. His voice lowered to huskiness and he hid his face in a handkerc chief. Then he steadied himself and went on strongly to the end.
 He defended his motives by saving that he finally found true conversion and in penitence had resolved to make all possible reparation by freely con- fessing all. Mcfarland told him he

Burns approved this statement as correct. He said: I'm sorry for him. This is a sad days work. If there had been one point that I could hon. estly have said l was in doubt on l would have held out for him month. Rut there wasn't one not one"
 At five minutes after eight o'clock a tapping on the inside of the jury room door called the attention of the guard. He sent for Elisor Biggy. who was waiting below in a pew of the lightless synagogue. No ore had been able to find the electric switchboard and the janitor was gone. Biggy stumbled upstairs in the dark and un- locked the jury room door.
 There was brief colloquy between him and the white haired foreman. Then Biggy turned the key and made for the nearest telephone. While he telephoned Judge Dunne that the jury had agreed. q crowd of newspapermen and loitcrers. expelled from the build ing at the adjournment of court. were grouped on the pavement outside, peering up at the tower room wonder ing how many days and nights the Schmitz iurV would be out

This was cast verbally and stood eleven for conviction and one for acquitaal. Juror Burns. a shoemaker. cast the dissenting vote. Then the twelve began a discussion of evidence which lasted nearly an hour. At the end of that time the first for maj ballot was cast IL was written and was unanimous for conviction.
 The jury issued the following state ment to the Associated Press immedi- ately after their dismissal by the court: Tn justice to Juror Burns it should be explained that he did not vote for acquittal because he was dis satisfied with the evidence or believed there was any doubt of the defendants guilt. Two forms of verdict were giv- en to the jury and the consecutive reading of these momentarily confused MT. Burns.

 The editorial advises that the au- thor.t:es be trusted to mete out justice and it deprecates excitement over the matter.

up the civic affairs of this city. Through these months. by a consider able portion of the community the prosecution has been maligned, it's motives impugned and it has been characterized as a persec ution instead or prosecution. Twelve men of his own choosing have declared him to be guilty. This sweeps aside all crit icism heretofore made against the prosecution. This verdict means more than the conviction of Schmitz It means that those whc made possible his treason in office will meet the same fate. Ii means that the mighty princes of finance who have defied the laws of the state and city will surely be convicted. It means that confidence will again be restored in the city: that law and order are demanded by our citizenship and that a new era of civic decency has set in. We Shall not stop until the whole situation has been cleared up. Again We repeat the statement made at the inauguration of this campaign: No innocent man need fear the law. and no guilty man may hope to escape it."
 Attorney J. J. Barrett of the defense said: Nobody knows better than the prosecution that this verdict is not worth the paper it is written on. It represents in every particular a dis regard for the law and justice about which we have complained in unmis- takable terms at every stage of the trial. We promise to exhibit a record of errors and misconduct without par allel in the history of criminal litiga- tion in California

The after noon from 2:30 until after five o'clock was consumed by Heney in a fiery closing speech for the state.

Throughout all the afternoon session an unprecedented crowd filled every seat and nook in the auditorium and galleries of the synagogue and sat or stood tight-wedged. tense and un- weary.s Not even the dispassion of the judges charge chilled the ardor Dur ing the making of Heney's speech waves of subdued excitement and half smothered applause again and again swept the house from the crowded al- tar space to the last packed tier un- der the roof.
