ON TRIAL
MAYOR OF FRISCO UP
FOR EXTORTION.
GOVERNMENT OF CITY NOW IN
HANDS OF COMMITTEE
OF SEVEN.

San Francisco, May 20.-Eugene f.
Schmitz, mayor of San Francisco, will
be placed on trial in Superior Judge
Dunnes court today on the charge
of extorting money from French
restaurant keepers. The charge is
similar to the one to which Abraham
Ruef pleaded guilty. The state code
provides that the trial judge may at

PENDANT, although under a bond, placed
in custody. The matter rests entirely
In the discretion of the courts. 1t is

seriously opposed by the mayors at
torney
Indicative of Mayor Schmitzs attor-
neys to pursue dilatory course is an
affidavit filed alleging that Judge
Dunno was prejudiced against the
mayor and asking that his case be
transferred to another court.
1t is further charged that Rudolph
Spreckels, the district attorney, the
board of supervisors and the news
papers have conspired to bring about
the ruin of the mayor.
The committee of seven business
men to whom Mayor Schmitz has Civ
en- full power to cope with the peculiar
situation brought about in municipal
affairs by the developments in the
graft investigation met today. An in
vitation has been extended to a num-
Der of labor leaders to be present with
suggestions. The committee has is
sued a declaration of principles in
which it says;
I'VE intend to bring about a clean
condition of affairs in this community
and make it safe for habitation by hui
man beings and for the investment of
capital.
I'VE shall do nothing in the nature
OF class legislation and recognize that
every element in the community has
right to representation in the govern
ment of the city"
The grand jury has reconvened and

Reporters interviewed orchard-court
Scores Them.
Judge Fremont Wood, who is presid-
ing at the Steunenberg murder trial at
Boise, directed the prosecuting attor-
ney of Ada county to make an investi-
cation of the circumstances under
which Harry Orchard was interviewed
for publication and to take any legal
steps that his inquiry showed to be
warranted. Judge Wood drew atten-
ton to the publication of the interview
when he assembled the bench this
morning and his request of counsel for
advice as to the manner III which the
court should deal with the incident,
brought from the defense the charge
that Governor Gooding and certain
newspapers, moved by the disclosure
that there exists prejudice against
Orchard, had sought to influence the
jury by an attempt to bolster up the
credence that may be given to Or
chard's story, and the suggestion that
Governor Gooding be cited for con-
tempt.

dale, 10 miles north of here, at 1890
Wednesday morning. The wreck was
the deliberate work of train wreckers.
One man was killed and % persons in
Jured, three probably fatally.
In accomplishing the wreck of the
train, which Avs the Short Line linn
tied, a devilish inRuenity had been ex-
ercised. AT point on & trestle over
the Arroyo Seco the fish plates and
bolts of two connecting rails on the
south bound track had been removed
and in the apertures whence the bolts
were taken trands of heavy wire were
fastened at the end of each rail.
From the appearances of Che track
after the wreck it was evident that
some person hidden on hillside CLOSE
to the trestle had pulled the wire as
the train approached and spread the
rails outward toward the edge of the
trestle.

COOPERATION IN MANHATTAN.
New Method of Acquiring Interest I'm
Apartment Houses.

high rent men are beginning 10 build

holder In such a concern eventually owns

The latest and largest example Of this
tendency is the plan 10 erect at Park

apartment house. Plans have already
been filed with the building department.
and operations will soon begin.
This is the proposition: First, you be-
come one of the founders and agree to
take an apartment. When finished there
will be apartments left over. which are
rented 10 outsiders. The rental from
these outsiders pays interest on the
money borrowed to build the house. and
allows for setting aside a certain sum

TUXEDO PARK IS ALL UPSET
First Real Burglary Results in
Wild Excitement.
william II. DinSmOre's Residence
Robbed of Silvcryyare and
Valuable NiOIins.

New York. June c3.-ExclUsive Tuxedo
Park was so upset all day to-day by its
first burglary. at the house Of William B.
Dinsmore. jr.. that many Of the wealthy
residents Of the place, including Pierre
Loriilard. ir, secured the surrounding
country in their automobiles. and the en-
tire Tuxedo Park fire department was
called out at o'clock 20 search the near
by woods when the amateur sleuths
thought they had a clew.
The burglary, which is believed to have
occurred at about o'clock this morning.
was made possible through the sense Of
security felt by the residents Of the Park
because they have never been troubled by
burglars. Whoever did the Job walked
through an open door in the basement Of
Mr.. DinsmOre's house, scooped up all the
silverware in sight in the dining-room.
and took five silver cups won by Mr.
Dinsmore at racquet and tennis tourna-
ments. and two valuable violins from the
library. The violins were the property Of
Otto Roth. OF Boston. first v1Olfnlsr with
the Boston symphony Orchestra, a guest
Of Mr. Dinsmore.
In making their escape the burglars
stole a boat from the Dinsmore boat
house. on Tuxedo Lake a few yards away
from the house.
Then they rOwed two miles away to
the south end Of the lake, where they
left tablecloth in which a lot Of silver
tableware had been gathered up. and a
drawer Of the sideboard, in which the
silver had been taken away The bur
glars abandoned a basketiul Of unpaid
bills
The entire weight Of the loot was esti-
mated to total about $50 pounds by Mr..
Dinsmore's servants, who knew how
much had been taken, and by the police
chiefs of adjoining towns, to whom a
general alarm was sent out this after
noon. along with a complete list of the
articles taken. Two spoons Of little value
We're found in the woods about 200 yards
from the abandoned boat, and one of the
violns and a bow were picked up about
a hundred yards farther on.
Chief C. Q. Bush, head OF the police
department maintained by the Tuxedo
Park Association. said tonight he be-
leved that the Job was planned by a man
formerly employed in the neighborhood.
He had an idea that the burglars got
away in an automobile. He said that he
was told of the burglary at $40 O'Clock,
forty minutes after it was discovered.
and was in his fast automobile in pursuit
inside of five minutes. He thought the
burglars abandoned the part of the loot
found because they realized that the
police were on their trail.
