BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-Mayor
eugene Schmitz, who was convicted
last night of the crime of extortion. is
still in the custody of the sheriff to-
night. While 1t is not definitely known
wnere he is being held, the supposition
is that he is spending the night at his
residence guarded by a deputy sheriff.
Sheriff O'Neil refuses to tell where the
mayor is and the prosecution saw thew
do not know.
mayor Schmitz' application for bail
comes up before Judge Tunne tomor-
row.
Prosecuting Attorney Langdon Will
contest the application. The matter of
accepting bail rests entirely in the dis
cretition of Judge Dunno.
The principal ground on which the
mayor will ask for release on bail is
that 1t is necessary that he be free to
transact public business.
In the event he is denied bail and
goes to prison the prosecuting attorney
contends that the duties of mayor win
devolve upon Supervisor James Galla@
gher, who is chairman of the finance
committee and who has been granted
immunity in the graft cases.
The auditorium of the Bush street
synagogue, that has been the setting
for so many successive Spectacular
scenes since the trial of the indicted
mayor began, was once more filed with
curious spectators, men and women,
when the time arrived this morning for
the opening Of Judge Dunnes court.
But only two-thirds of the big audi
torfum rooms were filed and the gallery
doors were not unlocked at ALL Seated
at the counsel table was only one of
the mayors attorneys, former Judge
j. g. Campbell, who throughout the
trial has been in charge OF, the defense
and who made the closing argument
for the mayor yesterday morning. Next
to him sat Attorney William Rix, rep
resenting the defendants to the Park
side deal indictments, and Attorneys
William P. Humphreys, Burke Schles-
singer and Dolphin M. Delmas, repre-
senting Theodore v. Halsey of the Pa
cific States Telephone and Telegraph
company, indicted by the grand Jury
on charges of bribing supervisors. 1t
was time for Halsey to support his mo-
tion for setting aside the indictment.
and time for the Parkside people to
plead.

.DOUMA THREATENED
WITH DISSOLUTION
Lower House Rejects stoIypin's UIti-
matum to Suspend Deputies, and
Trouble Is Expected to
Follow Soon
By Associated Press

BY Associated EreSS-
ST. PETERSBURG, June 14-The
dissolution of the lower house OF the
Russian parliament appears today to
be a question of only a few hours or at
most of a day or two.
With only 100 opposing votes the
lower house tonight rejected Premier
Stolypin's ultimatum for the immedi-
ate suspension of fifty-five deputies for
membership in the Social-Democratic
party and referred the subject to COM
mittee. Although the committee has
been instructed to report tomorrow
evening. 1t is known in advance that
the decision on the main question will
be adverse and that the douma will
accent the recommendations.
In order to keep strictly within the
legal limits the committee may recon-
mend the suspension of sixteen leaders
on condition that the government dis
close the evidence against them, but
there is not the slightest expectation on
either side that this will save the situ-
alton.
An extraordinary session of the coun-
ell of ministers is being held tonight to
discuss the decision of the lower house.
Up to a late hour no report has been
received from the council and no decree
of dissolution has been issued. = The
general impression is that no edict will
be promulgated pending final action by
the lower house.
The session of the st. Petersburg
committee of the Social-Democrats was
attended by large number of the ac-
cused deputies.
The meeting Is being held in secret,
the police having occupied the head
quarters of the party.
The prestige of the military organiza-
ton has been particularly affected by
the recent arrests, which have almost
entirely nullified the effects of the
propaganda In the army.

Another step in the direction of

on Saturday when the bill provid-

the abolition of the present Office Of

The Office of road overseer in the

that at the town election the elect
ors are to vote on the question
whether the road taxes shall be
paid in money, but this was striok-
on out. At present they may vote
on this question, but if they do
not vote the old system must be
used.
The bill has been drawn by the
committee on road and bridges and
embodies the recommendations of

competent men shall be elected road

deal toward highway improvement.

Closely Contested.

The 1907 base ball season in Wor-

urday afternoon at the fair grounds
by q game between the Worthlngton
and si6ley High School ball
teams. The game was called at $3.50
and proved very exciting contest
to the very last. From the second
inning the game stood . to 1 in fav-
or of Worthington up to the eighth
inning, when the visitors by a few
luck and we'll placed hits and q
number of costly errors on the part
OF the home team succeeded
in running in four tallies, MAX
ing the scors Is to 2 in favor of sib-
ley. The Wv Worthington boys in
their succeeding turns at the bat
we're unable to even up the score.
The game was spirited contest
throughout. Both batteries did fine
work and the fielding, with few
exceptions, was all that could be de-
sired. Both teams were light at the
bat, wich largely accounts for the
low score. Worthington this year
has very promising High School
base ball team, and with practice in
stick work should prove winners.
