RIOTS ARE
WANING
SAN FRANCISCO AGAIN
NEAR PEACE.
STRIKE BREAKERS ARE ARRIVING
DAILY-oTHER STRIKES
-ENGINEERs OUT.

San Francisco-With the exception
of the fact claimed by the United Rail-
roads that II of it's striking motormen
and conductors were taken back Mon
day on their own application, there is
no change in the street car strike.
The day passed without any general
rioting. South of Market street there
were numerous instances of individual
rioting, and the police made a number
Of arrests.
The cars were fairly we'll patronized.
Seventy-five additional strikebreakers
are scheduled to arrive some time to-
night.
In the districts south of Market
street some cars were stoned, but the
hospitals have no cases Of injuries re-
sulting.
Police investigation of the alleged
attempt to blow up Suffer street
car yesterday afternoon, established
the following facts:
Shortly after 4 o'clock newsboy
boarded a Suffer street car at the foot
of Market street and handed satchel
to the conductor.
The latter carried it forward and set
it down on the platform beside the
motorman. When examined at police
Headquarters the satchel was found to
contain bomb loaded with black pow
der and filed with miners fuse. This
fuse had been run through a candle
stump, but the candle had not been
lighted. The belief Of the police Is
that whoever loaded the catchel hoped
to discourage people from riding on
the cars and counted on the newspa-
per notoriety that would result from
discovery of the internal machine.
The strike of the stationary engi-
neers, linemen and electricians en-
ployed by the United Railroads caused
no break in the partial service now be-
ing maintained. The company filled
the places of the strikers at once. SO
far there has been nothing done by the
union to interfere with the supplying
of power by the San Francisco Gas &
Electric company to the United Rail
roads. A force of secret service men
is keeping guard of the railway COM
panys wires to prevent their being
cut. President McNulty of the Inter-
national Electrical Workers union,
who is here to consider differences
that have arisen between locals Nos.
I and 6, says he has not been called
upon to take any part in the sympa-
thetic strike of the United Railroads
electricians.

SCHMITZ
ON TRIAL
MAYOR OF FRISCO UP
FOR EXTORTION.
GOVERNMENT OF CITY NOW IN
HANDS OF COMMITTEE
OF SEVEN.

San Francisco, May 20.-Eugene E.
Schmitz, mayor of San Francisco, will
be placed on trial in Superior Judge
DUNES court today on the charge
of extorting money from French
restaurant keepers. The charge is
similar to the one to which Abraham
Ruef pleaded guilty. The state code
provides that the trial Judge may at
the beginning of a trial order the de-
PENDANT, although under bond, placed
in custody. The matter rests entirely
in the discretion of the courts. 1t is
stated that the prosecution will ask
Judge Dunno to order Mayor Schmitz
into custody of an elisor. This will be
seriously opposed by the mayors at
torney.
Indicative of Mayor Schmitzs attor-
neys to pursue a dilatory course is an
affidavit filed alleging that Judge
Dunno was prejudiced against the
mayor and asking that his case be
transferred to another court.
1t is further charged that Rudolph
Spreckels, the district attorney, the
board of supervisors and the news
papers have conspired to bring about
the ruin of the mayor.
The committee of seven business
men to whom Mayor Schmitz has CIV
en- full power to cope with the peculiar
situation brought about in municipal
affairs by the developments in the
graft investigation met today. An in
vitation has been extended to num-
Der of labor leaders to be present with
suggestions. The committee has is
sued a declaration of principles in
which 1t says:
I'VE intend to bring about clean
condition of affairs in this community
and make it safe for habitation by hui
man beings and for the investment of
capital.
I'VE shall do nothing in the nature
of class legislation and recognize that
every element in the community has a
right to representation in the govern
ment of the CITY,"
The grand jury has reconvened and
1t is stated by the prosecuting attor-
ney's office a number of indictments
based on the testimony Of Graham
Ruef may be expected before the enc
OF the week.
