Says Prosecutors Wish to
Secure More Time to
Arrange Plans
FAIRALL INDIGNANT
Insists That His Client Is
Ready and Has Right
to Know Fate

Eugene E. Schmitz, con-
victed of extortion, appeared
before Judge Dunno yester-
day morning for sentence,
but on motion of District At
.torney Langdon Judgment
was postponed until July 8.
The request for delay on the
part of the prosecution came
as distinct surprise, as it
had been previously an
nounced that the district at
torney's office desired to
expedite the proceedings
against Schmitz- Judge
Dunne's acquiescence in the
request for delay aroused the
ire of the attorneys for the
defense, and both William
H. Metson and c. H. Fairall
addressed the court with
such warmth that they were
warned from the bench.
The request for delay,
which was vigorously op-
posed by the defense, as ex-
planned by District Attorney Langdon.
was for the purpose OF giving the
prosecution further time to decide on
it's course IN the four other extortion
indictments against Schmitz. The prose-
cution desires to reach definite con-
clusion IN this matter before sentence
is imposed. 1t was explained by Lang
don that II Schmitz were brought to
extortion charges it would probably
make some difference In the sentence
to be imposed In the case In which he
has already been convicted. The prose-
cution further desires to avoid any
complication which might make SEN
tence imposed up Schmttz concurrent.
The prosecution denied the report that
the delay had been asked because It

Lieutenant Billiard, who was in charge

The big varsity struggle had scarcely
been begun when Hartman in a pow

regatta committee boat, the Arrow, re-
peatedly warned Hartman to stop his

Auditor S. w. Horton had a
task of no mean proportions be-
fore him yesterday. and probably
will continue to have for several
days to come, in guarding against
affixing his signature to some
document for which he might
later have to make good to the
city treasury. Every paper that
comes before him may contain a
hidden menace, for the ~rnayoralty
mixup has assumed serious pro-
portions, and Horton is attempt
ing to perform his duties without
overstepping any of the conflict
ing instructions from the opposing
forces.
Horton received two very def
mite warnings yesterday. One of them
was from District Attorney Langdon,
containing the information that
Schmitz ceased to be mayor on June
.13, and that II a salary demand for
him were audited for any time after
June Is. Horton would be held re-
sponsible. From Schn1itz came a note,
equally as curt, in which he declared
emphatically that he was still mayor,
that he was able to perform his duties,
and that If Horton audited any war
rants containing only Gallagher's sig
nature. Schmitz would hold Horizons
bondsmen responsible for the amounts
paid out.
Horton has announced his decision of
obeying both mandates. Schmitz is to
receive only that portion of his June
salary covering 13 days. and no war
rants are to be passed unless they have
the signatures OF both Schmitz and
Gallagher attached. City Treasurer
Bantel also has decided to cash only
those demands having the signatures of
both claimants on them.
Schmitz declared yesterday that he
would take no legal steps to collect
his salary until next week. after the

to close the poolrooms has served so
far only to complicate the already

voluntary closing of the gambling

side knew where it stood.

PRESCRIPTION FOR "CYCLONE@
 CATARRH CURE.

The name Cyclone" is given to the following prescription, 1t it is supposed, because of it's promptness in driving from the blood and system every vestige of catarrhal poison. To prepare the mixture: Get from any good prescription pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses af- ter each meal and at bedtime.
 This is a harmless, ineXpen- sive mixture, which has a pe- culiar action upon the elimina- tive tissues of the Kidneys, as- sisting them to filter and strain from the blood and system the catarrhal pOisons, which, if not eradicated, are absorbed by the mucous membrane, and an open sore or catarrh is the result.
 Prepare some and try it, any way, as it is the prescription of an eminent catarrh and throat specialist of national reputation. * * * * * * *
