SCHMITZ OUSTED
 FROM HIS OFFICE Formally Removed as Mayor of San Francisco by
 Supervisors. NEW MAN NOW ACTING Another Responsible Citizen to be Chosen in a
 Short Time.

San Francisco. June IT, Mayor schmitz was formally removed from office by the supervisors at their meet ing this afternoon. Supervisor James Gallagher was named as acting mayor in his place.
 This is the first step taken by the graft prosecution in the execution of the plan to restore good government in San Francesca. The ground on which Mayor Schmitz was removed is that, owing to his incarceration In the coun- ty jail following his conviction on a felony charge he is no longer able to perform his official duties.
 Gallagher will not hold the position of acting mayor for more than few days. The resignation of a certain number of the board of supervisors will make room for the appointment of a responsible citizen. who will take Gal lagher's place as acting mayor.

CLAIMS SHE LOST S7OO. WOMAN MISSES MONEY Miss Howe Said She Was Minus Cash After Trip
 From Hartford.

l A young woman who gave her name as Reda Howe and who claimed that she lived in New York city came into the Courier office early this morning and told a tale of losing some $7OO on a trip from Hartford to this city. She said that she left Hartford on the 10:02 train, arriving here about Ii o'clock. On the train she said she fell asleep, and upon arriving in this city gathered up her possessions. Thinking she had all. she went to Childs' restaurant and had lunch. It was after leaving Chllds' that she first noticed her loss, she claims.
 Her statement is that she carried the money in Dorothy Dodd bag and had collected 1t for the firm of Church & Whitehead of New York and Chicago. This firm, she states, deals in text books and Bibles and she is employed by 1t as a collector
 She said that ordinarily when riding she turned her money over to the con- ductor of the train to take care of it for her but neglected to this time. She claimed that the money was in bills of all denominations While her home is in New York she claims to be here much of the time and says that when here she stays at the Arlington hotel.
 She was advised in the Courier office to go to police headquarters to report her loss and said she would but on later inquiring it was learned that she had not done so. The station master at Union station also was communca- ted with and stated that no complaint of such a loss had been made to him. He also said it was highly improbable any conductor would take care of mon ey for passengers as they had no spec ial facilities for so doing.
 Miss Howe is a pale faced, stockily built, good looking young woman and was dressed in blue suit.

FORAKER SUMS UP Testimony Fails to Show Any Soldier Took Part
 in Shooting. CONFLICTING EVIDENCE But Despite This There is Nothing to Convict Col
 ored Troops.
CONFLICTING EVIDENCE

Washington, June 17.--Senator For aker of Ohio, tonight gave out a writ ten statement summing up the testimo- ny taken by the senate committee on military affairs in the Brownsville in- quiry and declaring that it fails to show than any soldier took part in the affray The statement, which the sen- ator says he makes as a plain duty to the truth as well as to the accused sol- diers" and because he is more fan1il- far with the testimony than anybody else" is in answer to a published state men that the testimony conclusively showed the soldiers of the 18th battal- ion did the shooting.
 The statement says npart:
 There are two kinds of evidence re- lied upon to show that the soldiers did it, One consists of the shells and bul- lets that were secured in the streets and houses of Brownsville. The re- suits of the microscopic inspection. in- terpreted in the light of other testimo- n.y. completely disposed of this part of the case. The only other testimony is that of people who claim to have been eye witnesses to the shooting. This con- sists of statements by various people that when they heard the firing they locked out of their window and houses and down dark alleys, where theye were no lights, at distances vc<ying all the way from thirty feet up to 150 feet, and recognized the men who were doing the firing as negroes wearing the uniform of United States soldiers The officers of the battalion have testified general ly and specifically as to the darkness of the night.
 Tn the language of Major Penrose, the night was so dark that he could not distinguish one of his officers, who were all white men, from one of the en- listed men, who were all colored, at distance of ten feet, nor could he at that distance tell anything about how a man was dressed At one time, when the case was only partially investigat- ed, the officers were of the opinion, and frankly stated it, that their men were guilty, but that fact only strengthens their testimony as they now give it that the testimony of citizens by which they claim to identify their soldiers is utterly unreliable, uEtrustworthy and by then unbelievable.
 "I have no hesitation in saying that the testimony taken down to this time utterly fails, in my opinion, to show that any of the soldiers had anything whatever to do with the shooting.
 T shall take occasion when speak at Wilberforce next Thursday to deal with this subject at some length"
