MAYOR SCHMITZ MAY
 BE MADE PRISONER
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS SOME STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAP PENED-PENDlNG TRIAL FOR EXPLORATION.

San Francisco. May 20.-Mayor Eugene Schmitz appeared for trial today in Judge D..ane's court, on five grand jury charges of extorton from local keepers of French restaurants. By right of the prosecu- tion the hearing was delayed one day in order that counter affidavits may be prepared against Schmtz' affidavits for q change of trial judge.
 Assistant District Attorney Heney an- nounced that the state has no present intention of asking the court to take the mayor into custody, pending his trial. Schmitz is at liberty, under bonds ag- gregating s5O0OO.
 The mayor, accompanied by his coun- sel, took a seat between the counsel table and the table reserved for the news paper men. He looked pale and glum. Rudolph Spreckles, Elisor Biggy and Spe- cial Agent Burns took seats near the counsel table. The room was crowded, even the aisle space being filled.
 When Judge Dunne called the Schmtz case his attorneys announced that the defendant was ready for trial
 Langdon stated that on Saturday last
 
 of a motion for a change of trial judge. with copies of affidavits in support of ths assertion that Judge Dunne is biased and prejudiced against Schmitz.
 MT. Langdon asked that the case go over until tomorrow at 2 o'clock to give the prosecution time to prepare counter affidavits; and he asked that the wit nesses be ordered to appear at that hour Mir. Campbell asked that the district attorney serve him with copies of the counter affidavits during the day and this was agreed to. Assistant District Att torney Heney set the defense at ease, making the following statement
 In view of unauthorized statements in the local press and on account of the understanding that may have been as- surned by the defense. I desire to say at this time that the state has no pres ent intention of asking the court to oruer the defendant ino cusody, pend- ing his trial"
 Adjournment thereupon was taken.
 District Attorney Langdon was asked whether the statement by MT. Heney that the prosecution had no present intention of asking the court to order Mayor Schmitz into custody" indicated that such a request would be made later. He replied:
 Stranger things have happened"

Mysterious Move Towards the
 Gautendan Frontier
REVOLUTION IS BREWING
Rapid Developments In Salvador Change Plans of Attack Aimed at Guatemala-ZeIaya
 Will Lead Off.

City of Mexico, May 20-Mexican troops are being removed to the Guatemalan frontier. This information reached the capitol today in private telegram. The troops are being conveyed over the Pan American railroad. In what number and for what purposes these troops are being moved scuthward is not known outhlde of official circles.
 It is said that the transferance of these troops may simply be the carrying out of previous orders issued by the war de- partment in pursuance of plan of mobil- zation, which carries with 1t no special significance. It was learned todaw, how ever, that the war department had countermanded the order directing the Mexican gunboat Tampico to proceed to the Port of Sanjose De Guatemala and there take on board Senor Gamboa, the Mexican minister to Guatemala, who was to have gone to San salvador. The Tam pico is still in the harbor at Salina Cruz and the Mexican minister Is still in Guate- mala City.
 At the state department nothing could be learned of the situation.
 It has been learned that the scene of greatest activity has been shifted or more properly speaking, divided between Guatemala City and San Salvador
 An American business man now in the city, who arrived from Salvador few days ago, says it Is only question of time when President Figueroa of Salvador will be confronted with formidable revolu- ton. This authority says conditions in the latter republic are rapidly approach ing the chaotic condition of affairs now existing in Guatemala, Figueroa has sue 1 ceeded in blocking three incipiens reva- iutions and as result is indiscrlminate. y throwing suspects in jail. The unex- rected developments have for the time being changed the plans of the revolu- tionaries against Guatemala. They de- pend absolutely on the aid of President Zelaya of Nicaragua. The revolutionary general Toledo is now in Managua, capl- tol of Nicaragua.
 As soon as President Ielaya believes the time ripe 1t is reported he will lend sol- diers and equipment to General Toledo for the attack on Cabrera. Zeiaya, how ever, will not move until he is sure of the support of Honduras and Salvador. In the former republic he has his hands full in endeavoring to restore order and render permanent the tenure of office of President DaVila. Open war Is being en- gagged Tn lIonduras among political fac lions. While many believe threatened revolution in Salvador is secretly backed by Zelaya who wishes to name a success sor to President Figueroa, 1t Is believed the troubles of all the Central American republics are in their incipieney.

result was confusion, and it was impos- sible to understand more than few words of each reply. Senator Warren. chairman of the committee, ruled that the witness had right to use the inter preter If he desired. but Senator Foraker insisted, in view of the testimony given on testing the knowledge the witness had of English. At the conclusion of his tes- timony he remarked that he guessed the committee now knew about how much English Ramirez understood on that night He continued the cross-examina- ton through the interpreter, and 1t de- veioped that fin Ramirez testimony hereto fore he quoted the soldier as having said:
 Here he goes, shoot him." He quoted another as having said
 "Give it to him." or "Give him hell" On previous occasions the witness did not use the language, "Is 1t a soldier"
