Swears He Did
Not Pay Visit
to Millionaire
Schmitz Denies That He
SpentHours With
Dingee

District Attorney William H.
Langdon and his office is vigor-
ously investigating report,
emanating from Redwood City,
that Convict Eugene E. Schraitz
lef the county Jail Monday night
and spent several hours at the
home of Millionaire William ].
Dingee at Redwood. Schmitz,
Sheriff O'Neil, Dingee and At
torney Frank H. Drew deny the
story with all the force of their
vocabularies. Schmitz, who be-
fore his incarceration was never
known to say a naughtier word
than darn declared last night,
under the corrupting influence of
week in jail, that the story was
g" lie"
Should 1t be shown that Schmitz did
go to Dingee's place it will mean that
Sheriff O'Neil will be prosecuted on
charge of permitting a prisoner to es-
cape, a felony offense, punishable by
imprisonment in the state prison for
10 years and Schmitz will be straight
way put In the custody of an ellison
Word of the felon mayors reputed
nocturnal visit to his friend Dingee
came to the prosecution from two
sources. Special Prosecutor Hiram W.
johnson and Charles W. Cobb were in
formed Thursday that Schmitz had es-
capped from custody long enough to
journey from the branch county Jail
to Redwood City, spend an hour in the
Dingee mansion and then return to his
cell.
7 1t was reported to Johnson that the
visit was a subject of common gossip
in Redwood City and that the San
Mateo county seat was astir with the
report that it had entertained an es-
capped felon of such notorious character
as Schmitz. A county official is said
to have been one of the witnesses of
the Schmitz trip.
The close association between
Schmitz. the mayor. and Dingee. the
millionaire. has been subject of COM
ment both in and out of the grand
jury room. Schmitz has accepted costly
presents from Dingee and Dingee has
enjoyed valuable favors bestowed by
the city and the supervisors
Among the gifts which Dingee is
said to have given Schmitz are:
A team of noble carriage horses.

Companies Refuse
to Deal With
the Union

Three blasts from police whis-
ties outside the Office of the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph
companies was the signal yester-
day afternoon for the walkout Of
all the union telegraph operators
employed in San Francisco and
Oakland.
The blasts sounded at $50
o'clock and within a few minutes
every union operator, with the ex-
ception of one in each Office, had
put on his coat and left his key.
The Western Union and Postal
have Offices close together in the
ferry building. Since the FIRE last
April, however, the main Office OF the
Western Union has been at West Oak
land, where $50 men and women are
employed. About 20 operators are
employed at the once in the ferry
building and about 20 more In
outside Offices The Postal company
has so operators In its main Office in
San Francisco and about 20 in other
offices here and across the bay. This
means that in all there are little less
than 800 operators on strike.
The operators were led to strike
because of their dissatisfaction with
the letter received from President
C1owry of the Western Union. pub =
lished yesterday, and because of the
cool reception accorded their COMMITTEES
when another attempt was made to
interview the officials OF the companies
relative TO the 25 per cent increase in
wages that is being demanded. The
committee reported to the executives
committee of the operators union the
unsatisfactory nature of the attitude
assumed by the company and the strike
was ordered without further deIiber-
alton.
President small of the commercial
teIegraphers union. who arrived here
InurSday. Will remain IN san francisco
indefinitely to advise the strikers.
Both the Western Union and the
Postal companies have expressed their
willingness to consider and act upon any
grievance presented by the men indi-
vidually. but virtually refuse to deaf
with the union as a body or grant the
increase asked for.
The companies issued formal noti-
hcations Immediately after the strike
was declared that all business for the
present will be taken subject to indef-
mite delay. Coast traffic will be inter-
fered with because OF the strike.
TROUBLE IS LOCAL
The strike will be local in San Fran

Glass and the United Railroads bribery
cases, to be heard, Judge Lawlor di-
rected yesterday that Glass be ready
for trial on Monday, July /. and or
dered the witnesses to present them
selves at that time without further
order.
The taking of testimony in support
of the motions to set aside was COM
pleted Yesterday and without the devel-
opment of any tangible benefits to the
defendants The court did not permit
the examination to embrace the wide
range contemplated by the defense. and
the testimony of Grand Juror Morris
A. Levingston was an admitted surprise

fcials.
The defense called Grand Jurors

ris A. Levingston and Secretary G. 5.

juror, James f. Gordon. on the stand.
The defense sought to prove personal
bias on the part of Jurors Sanborn and
Robinson and that Levingston was an
alien. Moore, for the United Railroads
officials, wanted the testimony of Bur-
nett to fix the chronology of the ap-
pearance of his several clients before
the grand jury. Coogan wished to
prove from Burnetts records that Su-
pervisor Sanderson testified subsequent
to the return of the indictment based
on Sanderson's bribery by Glass.
COUNSEL INSTRUCTED

position that there might be no sub

on the part of any of interested counsel

Men in East
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

DlSPAICH IhE OALL
NEW YORK, June 21.-Om-
cials and members of the COM
mercial telegraphers' union in
New York and throughout the
east were greatly surprised this
afternoon to hear that S, J. Small,
president of the union, had or
dered a strike of all operators of
the Western Union and Postal
companies in San Francisco,
within "a hours after the demands
of the union had been granted by
Robert c. Clowry, president of
the Western Union, and sup
posed settlement effected through
Charles P. Neill, United States
labor commissioner.
Leaders of the union here un-
reservedly repudiated the San
Francisco strike and said that the
national executive board would imme-
diately be called together and that
Small probably would be suspended.
They declared that the union in other
parts OF the country would not support
him or recognize the strike on the coast
and that Small had exceeded his au-
thority in calling a strike without the
sanction of the executive board.
Commissioner Neill said at Washing
ton that he was surprised at the strike.
but that he did not consider that it
would have any effect outside of San
Francisco. He said that the settle
ment was made in good faith, having
the sanction of the executive commit
tee and of S. L Konenkamp, acting for
Small, and that it should be regarded
as binding on both parties. Konen-
kamp said:
81 have in my pocket document
from Mr.. Small giving me full author
ity to act as president in his absence
In all matters official. and 1 approved
the terms of settlement offered by the
Western Union yesterday. The tel
egraphers in New York viii stand by
that settlement We feel that we now
have the support of public sentiment
in the course we have taken. and We
shall not sacrifice that by repudiating
the agreement deliberately and ofici-
ally made"
The officials of neither the Western
Union nor the Postal telegraph com
panies would make a statement to-
night. The strike did not develop until
after office hours here and neither
President Clowry nor President Nally
could be reached. 1t was said that
the companies now feel that the action
of Small at San Francisco absolved

officials would inaugurate the exami-
nation and that If any other attorneys
wished to participate in the examina-
ton such would be their privilege
Their failure to avail themselves of
the privilege would rest upon them
selves and cut them off from subse-
quent examination of the jurors, whom
he purposed to excuse without delay
when they left the stand.
Moore sought to secure from Sanborn
admissions of alleged derogatory re-
marks about Calhoun made at a meet
ing of the directors of the Bohemian
club. Sanborn denied any recollection
of the alleged statements and the court
protected him from trick questions pro-
pounded by Moore.
In an effort to trap Sanborn, who
had stated that he had attended every
the testimony of all witnesses, Moore
asked:
Did you hear the testimony of
Simeon H. Johnson?"
Special Prosecutor Heney interjected
vigorous objection to Moore's at
tempt to trick the witness. informing
the court that no Simeon III. Johnson
had appeared before the grand jury.
The court, in sustaining Heney's OBJ
jections, said he would not submit to
general examination of the Jurors
and finally declined to permit Moore
to ask the witness for the names of
those persons who appeared before the
grand jury.
Moore attempted to show that SAN
born had made repeated public attacks
on Calhoun as a bad man and that at

Two More Indictments May Be
Found Against Glass
Secretary Burnett Intimates Jury Is
Considering Additional Evidence

That the grand jury has prepared and may return
two additional indictments for bribery against Louis
Glass intmated by Secretary c. S. Burnett of the
jury during his examination by the defense yesterday in
support of the motions to set aside the indictments
against Glass and the United Railroads officials.
Burnett on the stand suffered a violent attack of
brainstom during which the combined efforts of coun
sci for both sides and the court failed make him in
telligble In the throes of the attack he told T. c.
Coogan counsel for GLASS; that he believed there
still two indictments against the telephone magnate
resting in the archives Of the grand jury Members of
the prosecution declined to confirm Burnetts guess and
insisted that he confused.
