1t may always be terminated in such
manner and by such means as are
prescribed by the law which created it,,
and the amendment of 1896 to section
6 of article IL of the constitution of
California provides that in the adjudi-
cation of all municipal affairs the pro-
visions of a city charter shall take
precedence over the general laws The
point is that therefore the charter pro-
vision that conviction of felony debars
a citizen from holding office takes
precedence over the general law that
a sustained appeal from conviction re-
stores to the appellant all of the civil
rights he possessed before conviction
was had
Apparently the point for delicate
determination is this: Does the setting
aside of verdict of conviction by the
sustaining of an appeal wipe out the
fact that the defendant was found
guilty? If it does-and undoubtedly
Schmitz will so claim-the mayors case
will not fall under the inhibition of the
charter and he will become eligible to
office and reelection. If it does not,
it will be impossible for him to get
his name officially on ballots or to
reassume office if he should be elected. -
Mayor Schmitz was before Judge
Dunno this morning to answer the in
dictments charging him with accepting
900 as a bribe. from the United Rail-
roads and $3275 from the Gas company,
but as the prosecution had failed TO
have ready the transcripts of the testi-
mony taken before the grand jury the
case was continued to next Tuesday.
Schmitz went back to the county Jail
without requesting an order permitting
him to visit his family.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Lafayette Nc
Williams, millionaire. former part
ner in the firm of Marshall Field & Co.
and cousin of the late Mrs. William
Mckinley; Daniel Lord, former vice
president of the Metropolitan Trust and
Savings bank of this city. and D. w.
ktmbal, a promoter, were today de-
clared by Judge Mack to be guilty of
misappropriating $12,500 belonging to
their personal friends.
brought by friends of McWilliams and
Lord to set aside transaction in which
they invested $4,000 in Indiana oil
lands. Before the complainants became
interested in the land McWilliams and
Lord had tried to sell it without sue
cess for $4,000 and had represented to
the complainants that it was worth
$4,000 Later they renewed options for
S57, 500, and then, according to the evil
dence in the case, induced their friends
to enter into a deal to purchase their
property for $4,000.
The complainants in the case were
all personal friends and neighbors and
fellow club members of Lord and Nc
Williams, and the suit has caused much
bitter feeling among them.
Judge Mack in deciding the case said:
THE defendants in this case were led
by their desire for money to forget
the obligations of friendship and even
to travel beyond the permissible in
law"

SAN FRANCISCO BANK
CLEARINGS SHOW ADVANCE
By AssocI.ted Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.--In spite
of the disturbed conditions of a year
ago the bank clearings had reached
and passed the amount for the corre-
spending period of 1905.
The San Francisco clearings for the
five-day week just passed, ending
Wednesday noon, July g. 1907. were $780,
562 426. For the same period last year
the amount was $32,S19,213, and for the
corresponding week of 1905, S31. 529, ,SS9.
These figures show a gain for the
present over last year of nearly 81 per
cent and over the year before of nearly
26 per cent. These great gains are
made in spite of the fact that the Oak
land clearings are not now, as former
ly, included with those of San Fran
cisco. If the clearings of the Oakland
banks for the current week be included
with those of San Francisco a grand
total is reached for the two bay cities
of $42164341

Execution lntrusted to Member of

Premier Warned
BY Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 3.-From
revolutionary sources there has been
obtained and published full details of
sensational and reactionary plot to
compass the murder of Count Witte,
the former Russian premier, who rep
resented his country at the peace nego-
tiations at Portsmouth. This assassin
alton was planned by the Moscow
branch of the Union of True Russian
People. the organization to which the
emperor sent communication on June
II conveying his blessing to the ultra
reactionary party and his hopes for the
success of it's purposes.
The execution of the plat was in
trusted to the leader of the Moscow
branch, man named Kahantzeff, who
came to st. Petersburg the latter part
of May and secured employment in a
factory as a common laborer He be-
friended several of his fellow work.
men and after announcing himself as
an anarchist he enlisted four men to
aid him in carrying out his commission.
1t was planned to throw bomb at
Count Whites carriage from the WIN
dow of a cheap boarding house while
the count was on his way to attend d
meeting of the council of empire.
The plot. however, was betrayed by
the reVolutionists' bureau, which
warned Count Witte. The four work.
men continued to pretend to be loyal
| to Kazantzeff in order not to arouse
his suspicious. The day of the assass-
ination was fixed and that morning
Kazantzeff led his supposed assistants
to wood in the vicinity of st. Peters
burg in order to get the bombs from a
secret hiding place. At this point the

killed him, carryingS out the sentence

Hollands Brave Women.

How much of her wealth and pros
perity Holland owes to her women
and children! While her men were
away at the wars, or extending their
possessions, or carrying their goods
to all parts of the world in their
stout ships, the women and child
ren stayed at home and worked. They
made lace, some of which was so fine
and beautiful that it was sold to
rich mobiles for $400 yard. They
spun cloth, red or black in color,
very fine and soft, which they sold
in many countries, using for them
selves a coarse, cheap cloth called
frieze which they bought in England.
They made butter, too, of the best,
and this they sold and the money
was turned In for their country's
use when 1t was needed.
Besides the lace, the women of
Holland made linen from the fax
which they grew in their gardens
among the tulips and lilies. This
linen was so choice that it was in
great demand. and 1t became known
by the name of Hollands"

How They Hate to Grow Old.

One OF the things most apparent
about the gallery at the wonen's ten
mis- tournament in Newport during
the summer season is thlt the wives
OF millionaires and women with mil
lions in their own right have not ac-
Qu.red the knack of growing old
gracefully. Probably they never will
for the simple reason that in their
artificial world nothing is SO tire
some as old age. The tennis tourn-
ament furnishes the first good excuIe
for the gathering Of the entire New
port colony, and there is mingled
comedy and tragedy in the frequent
sight of a woman on the dark side
of 30 trying to look like a girl in
her teens. Surely there has been d
ch&rga since our grandmother's days,
when nothing was venerated so much
a. white hairs. Still, the student
of tho time may console himself by
asserting that society is only a tiny
part Of our national body"

AMERICANS COSTLY CURTSY.
One Girl Expended $4,000 for Pre-
sentation ut British Court.

sentation ut British Court.
More Americans. year by year, are
seeking to be presented at the Eng
lish court. Probably not even In
the breasts of loyal subjects exists
such a desire to curtsy to royalty as
In those of the freest people on
earth.
1t isn't the royalty they care q
snap for, however, 1t is the chance to
display their beauty and culture in
costly garments.
The largest sum ever expended on
presentation outfit was paid by
an American girl-it cost over $4,000.
And this was 60 times as expensive
as the cheapect possible outfit that
may be worn with propriety on such
all occasion.
Startling to even the swellest
drcssers In England. who spend large
sums yearly to be presented at the
court of st. James. was the record
gown Of this American girl.
The court gown alone cost $500.
1t was composed of white silk chiffon,
embroidered with real seed pearls
and moonstones, to represent lilies
of the valley and white forget-me-
nots.
The court train-every presenta-
tion dress must have train-was
composed of real lace, mounted over
cloth of silver.
The lace for the lingerie was spe-
cially made at Honiton for the oc-
casion. The petticoat was composed
of rich brocade and hand-painted
chiffon.
This peticoat alone-it cost $14O
was as elaborate as the average
coIrt gown, and yet it could be seen
by no one but the French maid.
The cost Of the lingerie alone was
$3.50. The corsets cost $50. The
silk stockings cost $37. Shoes made
necessary an additional expenditure
of $50.
For bouquet for the momentous
occasion the girl sept $S0-it con-
sisted of rare exotic flowers procured
dl BIedI
For real lace handkerchief, with
which to dust her cheek every time
King Edward happened to look in her
direction. she paid $50. Gloves
made an item of SIG; cloak $3.50.
How does this outfit compare with
the average worn by woman In her
great curtsying experience?
Probably no two debutantes at
the last reception given by King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra, a little
while ago, solved the question In the
same manner,
The modest sum of $4,000 is not
considered excessive, even by some
English women, for this single out
fit, but still there have been many
cases where a woman spent but s25
and still presented an appearance
quite up to the standard.
There is a way Of doing every.
thing.
The dainty little debutante who
some time ago spent but $25 on her
frock was able to save considerable
by borrowing the train from a friend
who was not to be presented this
year.
