PROSECUTION OF
 SCHMITZ CLOSES
BROUGHT TO PREMATURE CLOSE BY A RULING IN FAVOR OF THE MAYOR-REUF NOT CALLED TO TESTIFY.

San Francisco, June 10.-An important ruling by Judge Dunne in favor of the defense early this afternoon brought to a sudden and premature close, the case of the prosecution against Mayor Eugene B. Schmitz, for extortion. The defense, gin the introduction of evidence, so Mr Campbell after fifteen minutes confer ence with his associates and their client made the opening address to the jury in behalf of the Mayor, and adjournment was ordered until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
 Abraham Ruef, indicted jointly with Mayor Schmtz, and who has pleaded guilty, though paradoxically proclaiming himself innocent of the charge, will not be called by the state to testify against the city's chief executive and his former political partner When the prosecution so unexpectedly closed it's case without having called Ruef, the general idea was that he was being saved by Heney for rebuttal but the assistant district at torney denied that.
 I've shall not call Ruef at all," he tion improves. his name cannot be defense"
 The ruling by Judge Dunne, that re- suited in cutting short the states case was the sustaining of an objection to the introduction of mass of testimony tending to show that the Mayor had made a common practice of playing fast and loose with restaurants and saloon licenses, and had ordered a number of them held up out of ulterior motives.

 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEAD
Defendants In Suit of "Next" Friends Score a Point for the Account ing of the Prop
 erty.

Concord, N. H., June 1O.-The defend- ants in the suit brought by next friends of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the aged head of the Christian Science denomina- tion, asking for an accounting of Mrs. Eddy's property were successful in carry ing a point today when. Judge Robert N. Chamberlain of the s6preior court, an- nounced that he wod1d in week appoint master to condiet hearings and take testimony to determine whether Mrs. Eddy is competent to manage her own af- fairs.
 Today's proceedings were scheduled to be hearing on a motion on the part of Mrs. Eddy and her three trustees, Henry A. Baker, Archibald Mcclellan and Josiah E. Fernald to have the equity proceed ings brought by the next friends against Mrs. Eddy's secretary, Calvin Frye, and nine other prominent Christian Scientists, dismissed on the ground that the action was not brought in good faith. Shortly after MT. Streeter, who repre- sented both the trustees and Mrs. Eddy had begun his address to the court, he announced that he would suspend the right to bring up the legal questions in volved at this time, but would agree to the immediate settlement of thy matter of Mrs. Eddys competency inasmuch as he understood that the court wished tha [ phase of the case disposed or
 MT. Streeter asked that a master be appointed to conduct the hearings on the matter of Mrs. Eddy's competency, while the attorneys for the next friends'' arr gued that Mrs Eddy's competenc- be established before, Jury, or as Attorney DeWitte c. Howe of counsel for the next friends" expressed it to the court, ''he wished her competency to be tried as that of any humble person would be tried"
 A feature of the proceedings was the declaration of General Streeter that the suit for an accounting of Mrs Eddy 5 property was not brought by her son, George w. Glover of Leads, s. D. and the others who appear as next friends" but was instituted "at the instigation of a New York newspaper which has been trying to discredit Mrs. Eddy and her re- ligious teacheings."
 Judge Chamberlain, however, did not define any limitations to the hearings when he announced his intention of ap- pointing q master
 It is expected that the hearings to de- termine Mrs. Eddy's competency will be held at Pleasant View, Mrs. Eddy's estate in this city.

Deputation From United States.

Tokio, June 10.--A deputation of Japan csc from the United States appeared to- day before a meeting of the council of the progressive party and presented statement. in substance as follows:
 The settlement of the San Francisco trouble cannot be considered as final and recurrence of the difficulty may be expected at any time. It is absolutely position to receive exactly the same treat ment as is accorded Europeans. The law segregating Japanese school children was passed years ago, but the authorities hesitated to carry out its provisions. Its sudden enforcement last year occurred soon. after the return of Mayor Schmitz from Germany, where he had an audience with Emperor William Consequently some are inclined to attribute the mayor S anti-Japanese attitude to the influence of the Kaiser.
 Another report Is to the effect that the Hawaiian sugar interests have paid the anti-Japanese and anti-Korean or ganization in San Francisco S3 O00, 600 for preventing Japanese from going to Cali fornia."
 The Hochi prints report from Wash ington, stating that the Japanese in party here in an attempt to overthrow the cabinet on account of the American question, but little credence is placed in this assertion. It is true, however. that the progressive party is the only political organization which has publicly taken up the question. While avoiding expressions
