Mayor Schrnitz
Got Five Years

San Francisco, July O. Superior
Judge Dunno Monday morning, in the
presence of the largest crowd that has
as yet gathered in his courtroom at
Temple Sheriff. Israel, sentenced May
or Eugene E. Schmitz to five years i'm
risonment in San Quentin penitentiary
for the crime of extorting $1175 from
French restaurant keepers of San Fran
cisco, of which crime he was convict
ed by jury on the 18th of last month.
The sentencing of Schmitz was one
of the most dramatic scenes ever wit
messed in a western court. The effec-
tiveness of the fearful denunciation of
the convicted mayor as delivered by
the judge prior to the passing of judg-
ment was heightened by the demeanor
of the prisoner, who time and again
interrupted the court to demand that
"these humilating remarks" be desist-
ed from and that 1.-THE court do its
duty" by pronouncing sentence at
once. Once while the sentence i'm
pended, the judge threatened to send
Attorney Nelson of the mayors coun-
|
cried the courts comments as cruel
and unusual punishment, and Nelson
was told by Dunno that he ought to be
begging a day in court to defend him
self against the charge of having tam
pered with a witness in the case.
The defense filled a bill of excep.
tons, after the II otion for new trial
| I - G. Of ind
ment had been denied, and Judge
| Dunno granted a certificate of propable
cause upon which Schnitz will go to
the district court of appeals for new
trial
AS the last words TO the sentence fell
from the judges lips the great crowd
that had stood throughout the dramatic
scene sent up a thunderous cheer.
Attorney Fairall of the defense, rails
ing his voice above the din, called out
to Judge Dunno:
"Your honor, this cheering is a very
unseemingly occurrence.
"Well," retorted Judge Dunno, with
spirit. "if we had a sheriff worthy the
name it would have been stopped in
SANITY"
Sheriff Thomas O'Neill was stand
ing inside the rail. He turned to the
court and protested:
Nobody could have stopped that,
your honor. "
The dramatic atmosphere was
heightened by staff of newspaper
photographers who exploded fiashllght
after fashlight till the courtroom was
so filled with smoke that it became
sitting
The sentencing of the convicted
mayor was in one respect without
parallel in the criminal annals OF San
Francisco. Half a dozen times Judge
Dunno was interrupted by Scbmltz'
who protested in strong words against
the delivery of lecture" instead OF
the announcement of judgment lie
accused the court of unnecessarily hu-
initiating him and giving opportunity
for further humiliation by the report
inc of his remarks in the press.

John d.
TESTIFIES
PRESIDENT OF GREAT
OIL co. A WITNESS.
a7ovED TO BE VERY IGNORANT
OF COMPANY'S
AFFAIRS.

Chicago. July John d. Rockefel-
,er president of the Standard Oil
oompany of New Jersey, occupied the
uitness stand in the district court
saturday, while Judge Lands piled
him with questions regarding the fin
ancial strength and the business meth
dds of the corporation of which he is
the head. Mr.. Rockefeller was a very
willing and an equally unsatisfactory
witness. He was ready to tell all that
he knew, but he said that he knew
practically nothing. The net result
of his examination was that he be-
leved during the years 1903, 1904 and
1905 the period covered by the in
dictments on which the Standard Oil
company of Indiana was recently con-
yicted. the net profits of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey were ap-
proximately 40 per cent of an out
standing capitalization of 100000, 900.
The investigation by Judge Lands
was instituted by him for the express
purpose of determining whether or not
the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
which was convicted of violation of
the law, was really owned by the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey;
whether the Union Tank Line COM
pany, whose cars were used for the
shipments made in violation of the
law. was similarly owned, and also
TO obtain an idea of the financial re-
sources of the convicted corporation,
in order to inflict fine proportionate
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.
The prospective appearance in court
Of the man reputed to be the richest
man in the world brought about a
spectacle the like of which has never
been witnessed in the vicinity of a
Chicago courtroom. The crowd was
so dense that frequent cries for as
sistance were heard and people who
were damned against the wall fran
tically begged for relief against the
pressure to which they were subject
ed
Admission to the courtroom was by
card only, but many people succeeded
in evading the guards and when Judge
lands took his seat the room was
packed to the last inch. Inside the
courtroom perfect order prevailed at
all times, except at the immediate
opening, when Judge Lands threat
ened to clear the room if absolute
quiet was not preserved.
Secretary Pratt testified that the
net earnings of the Standard Oil OF
New Jersey were $31,000,000 in 1903
$61000000 for the first half of 1904
and $57000,000 in 1905.

RUMORS
OF WAR
SOME PEOPLE BOUND
TO THINK so.
SENDING ATLANTIC FLEET TO
PACIFIC WATERS TO SHOW
SPEED.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Jyly THE sig
nificance of Rear Admiral Brownson' S
addition to the somewhat meager in
formation which has come from Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the contem-
plated two ocean maneuvers of the
Atlantic battleships, is regarded here
as having been overlooked in the com.
ment, expert and otherwise, which has
since been INDUCED in ON both con
tinents. Admiral Brownson came to
Oyster Bay Friday to take lunch with
the president, processing entire ignor-
ance of the maneuver plans. When he
left Sycamore Hill to take the train
for Washington, the admiral had one
thought which he wished emphasized
that it was desirable and important
to demonstrate to the world how
quickly the American navy could
transfer its fighting strength from one
ocean to the other.
This was distinctly an addition tC
the presidents previous statement is
sued through Secretary Loeb, wherein
the object of the maneuver was said
to be an exercise movement for the
benefit of the navy, to perfect its
training in fleet exercise on an ex
tended scale, the purpose and effect
of the plan being for the benefit OF
the navy alone.
What came from President Roose
welt through Admiral Brownson is de
cidedly different and much broader
design. President Roosevelt has beer
consistent in advocating a larger navy
as the guarantee of peace between the
United States and all foreign powers
Heretofore, a large navy has beer
reckoned solely from the point of view
of the number of ships, their tonnage
armor, guns and fighting capacity
With this idea the American navy has
grown steadily, ship by shin.

euLLET WORMS IN DUCKS.

A duck raiser who has for several
years made a speciality of raising Pc
kin ducks had never had any particu-
lar difficulty or lost birds from disease
or other such causes until last year.
She says: "At from three to four
weeks of age, some times before, some
times little older than this, the duck
lings began to lose flesh, to have odd
spells, something like epilepsy,
thought. Before death a swelling APP
peared in the lower part of the neck,
and while the crop seemed full, though
sometimes sour at death, they ate and
acted hungry to me until the very last.
I have seen some of them, while eating

dread to see them hatch for fear of
that trouble again coming to them. A
friend tells me that it was impaction
of the crop-the only kind of crop a
duck has-and the feeding and food
was at fault. But l fed as in other
years, and 1 changed rations several
alive. | am almost sure the food sup
ply was not at fault"
The symptoms described above tally
exactly with the symptoms produced
by round worm that burrows in the
oesophagus of the duck, and seems to
have a special liking for the Pekin
duck. Where or how they get this
worm, sometimes called the gullet
worm, can not say, but once they in
fest a duck yard they spread. The
worms are large enough to be plainly
seen, as the female grows sometimes
to more than an inch in length, while
the male is not so large by half They
lodge in the walls of the oesophagus,
and, working in the membranes, riddle
and weaken them, causing the food to
impact in the oesophagus. Especially
will this happen if the food is fed too
dry. Sloppy food will slip past the
gullet more easily, thus prolonging the
ducks life and often carrying enough
of the worms away with it to save it's
life. The duck loses flesh rapidly, it
has fits that really might be called
epileptic and it chokes to death when
the impacted food presses too heavily
upon the pneumogastric nerve. This
is why those ducks died while trying
to eat.
Our advice would be to lay in big
supply of garlic to start with and feed
plenty of it to the ducks from the time
they are 2 or days old. This kills
and expels this form of duck worm
when it is quite small. But should the
disease still persist in showing up in
full strength, add turpentine to the
food, and, mixed with oil, give each
duck ten drops to one-half teaspoonful.
But in mixing with the oil, olive oil
being best, mix the turpentine with at
least twice the amount of oil. AS the
worms are destroyed in the bird and
pass away the tendency is for them to
disappear altogether from the flock
and yards. This is about the only way
we know to get rid of them.

THE WORK NOW TO DO.

The present time finds the poultry
breeder with plenty work on hand.
There probably remains good portion
of the seasons hatch to dispose of,
and the hens must be helped through
the moulting period so as to come out
in the best possible shape for the win
ter.
The alert breeder who is alive to
his opportunities, knows that it is only
a few weeks more until the price of
eggs will begin to rise and continue
to rise until the. climax of high prices
is reached about Christmas, and he
is getting his flock in readiness to sup
ply as many of these high priced eggs
as possible.
The old hens of the flock are being
supplemented with new and younger
ones. The pullets Matched in the
spring are probably large enough now
to allow of the selection of some of
the most promising
They should be carefully observed
and if possible those that are healthy
and have been free from ailments,
and that appear strong and vigorous,
should be selected.
One of the most desirable character
istics in pullets is hardness. In sell
Getting early pullets for laying pur-
poses, it is best to consider whether
they will produce hardy chicks in the
spring, for they are generally the ones
from which a portion of the eggs for
Matching are selected.
Absence of vigor in the pullets when
they are small is evidence that they
will not mature properly, nor be hardy
when matured. Hardness is essential
in a flock of fowls If any of the old
or young stock can not pass through
the warm season without disease, they
are not likely to prove profitable as
layers during the winter season, when
layers are particularly valuable.
The number of eggs from pullets
and hens in the fall depends to great
extent upon the selection and manage
ment of the chicks when very young.
The little pullet of today may be one
of the prime factors in making the
flock profitable next winter.

SUMMER EGGS AT HALF PRICE

SOMME n E110 Al IlNET Tn'S-.
We have been asked whether 1t
pays to buy eggs at half price for sum-
mer Matching. We believe it pays us
to hatch summer chicks from our own
eggs, but we do not believe it pays us
to sell our eggs for Matching summer
chickens. The advantages to the sell
Ter of summer eggs is that he gets
over market price for his eggs, the dis
advantage is that summer chicks are
often badly raised. A chigger-b1tten,
mite-infested, lice-tortured chick is
poor advertisement of the best eggs.
1t is a question whether poultry
breeder can afford to take the FISK.
of chicks from his matings being badly
raised and giving his stock bad
name. Very fine chickens can be rails
ed in the summer if care is taken to
keep them on short grass and well
supplied with grit, water, and food,
but unless we'll cared for the last chick
of summer is sorry proposition.
A buyer can afford to buy eggs at
half price for summer Matching II he
is prepared to give the extra care re-
uuired, provided the eggs do not travel
far. Eggs travel badly in hot weather;
even strongly fortified eggs may be
unhatchable after long railway jour-
ney. When we consider that the ex-
press charges are the same for late
and early shipments, the reduction on
late eggs does not seem so great, ana
unless one is prepared to give the
care required or to state that the eggs
were late and purchased at half price,
if complaint is made to others, he
should not order eggs for summer
Matching.
