Eugene E. Schmitz, convicted
felon in the county jail, made an
attempt yesterday through his at
torneys to secure his release on a
writ of habeas corpus. He says
he is suffering from an incurable
disease, made more malignant
through his detention in the
county Jail, and alleges that his
continued stay in that place IS
due to the schemes of enemies.
members of the prosecution. who
will do dire things to the city, he
says. if he is not permitted opportunity
to block them. In short schmitz wants
to get away from Sheriff Thomas F.
o'NeiI and assume his place at the helm
of San Francisco's municipal craft.
The application for a writ of habeas
corpus was fled late yesterday after
of appeal Attorneys Fairan and Net
son presented the document for fling
and then took it to the judges cham
bers. 1920 Sutter street No action was
taken by the court yesterday and the
prosecution was rot notified of the ex-
istence of the application. 1t will be
vigorously assailed by Heney. The
court will probably pass on the matter
today or tomorrow.
The first few pages of the application
are addressed to the subject of the con-
stitutionality of Schmitz' imprisonment.
The petitioner alleges that he was ION
the 18th day of June, 1907. by the ver-
dict of a jury found guilty in the SUI
perior court of felony. to wit. extor-
ton; that thereupon your petitioner
was committed TO the custody of the
sheriff and ever since has been re-
strained of his liberty by said sherin."
He also declares that the $4,000 bail
providing for his appearance for judg-
ment was and is in full force and effect
and that no Judgment or sentence OF
any court has ever been passed upon
him."
Schmitz further pleads his willins-
ness to give further bail if necessary. in
any reasonable sum. The alleged un-
constitutionaIity of his imprisonment Is
urged. 1t is claimed by his attorneys

The selection of an acting mayor to

to carry out the movement to rid San

at the meeting. and the matter of in

which will revolutionize local govern

point. though the details of carrying
out the plan were left to be finally
settled at a subsequent meeting.
The development of greatest i'm

decision was definitely reached to pro-

State to Rest
Case Today in
Haywood Trial
Defendant Linked
to Crimes by
Witnesses
BY Oscar King Davis

BOISE. Idaho, June 2o.-Just before
the adjournment of the Haywood trial
this afternoon Senator Borah an
nounced that the state probably would
conclude its case in chief tomorrow
morning, saying that there were but a
few more witnesses to be called and
that none of them would require much
time. The greater part of the time to-
day was taken up in the reading of
articles from the Miners Magazine and
of decisions of the supreme court of
Colorado in the eight hour case and in
the Meyer habeas corpus case.
But at the afternoon session there
were three witnesses on the stand, two
of whom gave testimony which was
not relished at all by the defense. They
were w. t. Stuart. who had worked in
mine at Silver City, idaho, with Hay
wood while the fight was on in the
Occur d'Alenes in 1892 and W. B. Nc
Cartney, formerly cashier of the Denver
Office of the Postal telegraph company.
The third witness was James Ker-
wan, assistant secretary of
the western federation, who, testified
that only the president and secretary
of the federation had any authority to
expend money from it's funds and that
the warrant for such expenditure must
be signed by both. This was part of
the states way of linking Haywood up
to any expenditure for Orchard, Adams
or Simpkins that it has shown or may
yet prove. This testimony was very
hard for Haywood to take. and 1t was
admitted only after Richardson had exs
Ehausted his power of objection. which
is in remarkably high state of de-
velopment.

called the attention Of Turner to man
who stood at the side OF the road with
an old rusty repeating rife leveled az

pull up and then commanded the pas

was following. He displayed consider

frightened passengers their purses and
watches. After having made the col

Storm Center Is
Transferred to
This City

The unexpected arrival of President
Samuel j. Small of the teIegraphers'
union from the east yesterday morning
transferred the storm center of the
difficulties between. the operators and
the two companies TO this city. 1t was
stated last night that If the corpora
tion officials refused to listen to the de-
mands of the local employees today a
strike would be called forthwith.
With his usual energy President
Small went to work almost immedi-
ateIy upon his arrival. After he had
had a conference with the officials of

Jaynes to present the modified demands
of the men, calling for 20 per cent

mittee would net accede to this and
left. After making its report to the
meeting of the union last night, the
committee was directed to make an
other attempt to present the demands,

the Western Union In San Francisco.
NEW YORK, June 20.-As the result
of the visit of Commissioner Of Labor
Neill and of following suggestions
made by him, it is given out, an ad-
justment of the differences between the
Western Union telegraph company and
it's operators may be reached This
morning President Clowry of the West

outlining the position of his company,
and this is said to be satisfactory to
many of the union leaders here.
Ciowry's letter to Neill was as fol-

conferences held between yourself and me aud
other officers of the Western Union telegram,

Inconvenience to the public following any gem
eral interruption to our business, I am glad
to make clear to you the position occupied by
the Western Union telegraph company in re-
gard to this whole matter. AS TO the state
lnents made by persons in way connected
with this company that the 10 per cent In
crease granted by the telegraph company on
March l last has not been applied to all sal

telegraph company announced this increase in
good faith, and is carrying 1t out in good

which the increase was not granted it will
be corrected at once.
The statement also being made that the
telegraph company is endeavorng to neutraIize

there any intention of putting it into effect by
