MAYOR SCHMITZTAKES
STAND in OWN BEHALF

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-With
the calling Of the first defense witness
this morning in the Schmitz case the
defense outlined the plan by which ~
hopes to break the chain Of evidence
drawn about the mayor.
The attorneys will attempt to tear
down the evidence given by ex-Police
Commissioner Reagan and 'impeach the
witness.
The crowd in the court room was the
largest since the trial began. Hun
dreds stood in aisles and lobby.
The first witness was NJ. B. Scott
of the walters union. Through him
the defense declares it will show the
attack of Reagan upon Tortonis' res
taurant was instigated by Reagan and
that the entire line of attack was
planned by the police commissioner.
Heney fought the introduction of this
evidence but without avail.
Scott took the stand at II o'clock.
Schmitz, Scott said, went to Reagan
and told him he could not uniOnize
Tortonis' and asked if he couidn'r
take the license away. Reagan said
all that would be necessary would be
to catch men and women in the up
per rooms.
Scott suggested they hire two men
to engage rooms and have the propri-
etor send out for girls. Reagan ap-
proved the scheme so they got two
men who went to the place and had

B0U[EVARDS IN
PARK SCHEME
Commission Plans to Open
Streets and Drives

That Walla Walla will have a park
system next summer equal to any in
this part of the country is the state
ment vouchsafed by ]. w. Langdon,
chairman of the park commission.
The city now has a 40 acre tract OF
land laid out for that purpose. rms
tract is bounded on the north by AL
der street, on the east by WatertoWn,
on the west by Reeds addition and on
the south by the proposed extension
OF Whitman street.
1t is the intention of the park board
10 extend Division street north to Al
Der, and Whitman street along the
south line. This will make the park
accessible to all parts of the city.
Copies of the contour map planneo
by the city engineer are now IN the
hands of the commission.
One of the main features or the
system will be a 1/r/yay and street
sNclTcling the entire tract.
The most approved lines of park
work will be followed, and as no trees
can be planted until fall the board mas
q! this summer in which to evolve the
o1St and most moderniZed ideas IN
!drk architecture.

81 find that foul brood among the
bees of this section is widespread"
said Prof. Melander, of w. s. c., to-
day lust before leaving for Pullman.
"I find too, foul brood has existed here
for the past 10 years and has gained
such a foothold that all the colonies
of bees are threat tened with ultimate
determination. This is especially true
of the district around College Place.
1.-THE disease has gained such head
way that wiping it out by us is prac-
tically impossible The only thing
that can be done is to have each bee
teeper attend to his own bees. The
way to treat the disease is to transfer
the infected colony to new and clean
hives being careful to prevent any OF
the honey from the old hives to drip TO
the new ones. Then. if the bees are
nrovided with a new foundation for
the comb, they will. in short time
Law new eggs and new set OF young
bees will result and the new brood Will
rot be affected.

wards they gave Scott a check from
the restaurant which was turned over
to Reagan for evidence. Later he pro-
posed to go after the Bay State res
taurant which Reagan said was a bad
place.
Heney took the witness and got
from him an admission that he held a
position under the administration. He
said he spoke to the mayor about
uniOnizing a number of restaurants
and said the scheme to go after res
taurants not in the union was fixed
up at a conference of which the mayor
knew nothing. He admitted going to
the mayors home twice before the
fire and denied Reagan had asked him
to go to the mayor to try to induce

taurants. Scott was excused and

could not remember what the man he
bought it from looked like.
1t developed that ipxconnection with
the damage suit brought by the owner
of the fats against the Gas company,
Orchard discussed the matter with
MCFARLAND and Governor Gooding. He
knew both the latter had made aff1-
davits in favor Of the Gas company
upon information furnished by him
cnly a short time ago.
Orchard could not explain how the
explosion could blow Bradley into the
street when the bomb was outside. He
set it off by opening the door inward.
and said the door through which Brad
icy was thrown was set diagonally. He
thought this explained the matter.
Orchard stuck to his original state
ment again positively denying counsel
for the prosecution had told him this
story.
When he got back to Denver he met
Adams and went to his house to stay.
Both were practically broke and got
money from Haywood when ever they
needed it. He claimed he reported to
Haywood the success of the attempt
on Bradley and claimed Haywood was
well pleased. He said he lied because
he wanted to and admitted he never
cared much whether he told the truth
or not.
Orchard declared he had not sent
Mrs. Orchard money after leaving
Cripple Creek. But insisted when he
deserted her he left $50. He de-
clared Pettibone and Haywood had
promised to send her money but he
learned they had not. He did not re-
sent it.
Orchard denied having taken all her
money or knew she had taken in
washing to get money to live ron. He
then took up his first attempt on
Judge Gabbert's life. He stuck closely
to the original story and was still re-
citing the Denver experience when re-
cess was ordered.

told Reagan he did right In voting

The mayor admitted Malfeanti had

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles of the
blood are sure to do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
Only invigorating and nerve strength
ening effects can follow the use of this

FISHING FROM TRAINS.
Rare Sport Trolling Through Car Win
doWs on the Southern Pacific,

Rare Sport Trolling Through Car Win
doWs on the Southern Pacific
Passengers on Southern Pacific over
land trains are having rare sport troll
ing from the car windows for fish in
the Salton sea, and good catches have
been made, writes a Salton correspond
ent Of the San Francisco Chronicle.
About midway on the sea an arroyo
extends back into the mountains. The
track crosses this on a trestle. The
water is fifteen to twenty-five feet
deep, and it has become a custom of
the dining car porter to throw over
board the scraps from the table there.
Thousands Of fish of all sizes lie in
wait for the train and can be easily
seen.
A few days ago an irrepressible fish
erman prepared his hook and line and
as the train slowly Numbered over the
long trestle swung it far out over the
water. This the fish mistook for their
customary meal, and a voracious earn
three feet long seized the bait and
was drawn aboard the Pullman. With
this beginning the sport has grown to
such an extent that the passing trains
are now supplied with fish for the din
ing cars.
