A NEAV ANGLE GIVEN
MUNICIPAL SITUATION.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 10.-A
new angle was given the municipal
situation yesterday afternoon when
the board of supervisors met and by
vote of 10 to elected Charles A.
Boxton, one of their mum Der, acting
mayor to succeed James L. Gal
lagher. who since the conviction of
Mayor Schmitz on the charge of ex-
tortion has been acting as mayor.
The two votes opposed to Boxton
were those of Supervisors O'Neill and
Tveitmo. who were appointed to the
board to fill vacancies by Mayor
Schmitz. The action of the super
visors came as a surprise as 1t had
been intimated that 1t was the aim
of the graft prosecution TO retain
Gallagher as acting mayor until the
complete abdication of Mayor
Schmitz could be brought about.
Supervisor Boxton is the principal
witness in the trial of Louis Glass.

He thought the sensational press of

VERY LITTLE
ACCOMPLISHED
In GLASS TRIAL
Acting Mayor BOxton to Tell of His
Own Downfall On the
Stand Today.
(By the Associated Press ,


SAN FRANCISCO. July 10.--yery
little was accomplished today in the
trial of Louis Glass. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Heney made to the
jury the opening statement for the
prosecution, in which he outlined the
steps by which the state expected to
prove that the vice-president of the
racine States Telephone company
now the temporary mayor of San
francisco-a $4,000 bribe to vote
against the Home Telephone COM
pany's application for a rival fran
chise. Then DIR. Boxton was called
to the stand. Though he is to be the
star witness for the people, his in
qnisition today was so skillfully and
frequently interrupted by Attorney
Delmas of the defense that when,
shortly before the noon recess, he
gave way temporarily to Clerk Ryan
of the board of supervisors, nothing
of vital Importance had been elected.
The examination of Mr.. Ryan. who
has served the supervisorial bodies
since 1888, was directed by the pros
ecution to establish the identity of
the application submitted by the
Home Telephone company, and was
momentarily interrupted by Mr.. Del
mas, whose Views of what Heney
might and might not ask under the
law were at variance with the dis
trict attorneys.
Minutes of the board were under
examination for introduction in proof
of the making of that application
and the subsequent awarding of the
franchise to the Home company
when the afternoon session was ad-
iourned.
1t is expected that Acting Mayor
Boxton will tomorrow, on the wit
ness stand, tell the story of his own
disgrace.
