SCHMITZ MAY GET BAIL.
Mayor Has Wide Discretion After
June o7

A radical change in the executive
branch of San Francisco's government
is contingent on developments in the
case of Mayor SchmitZ, who is tenn
porarily incapacitated by reason of his
Imprisonment in the county jail.
The date for the passing of sentence
on Mayor SchmitZ in the eXtortion
cases, on which he has been convicted,
has been set for June 27. Prior to
that date he can not possibly procure
bail according to the decision of Judge
Dunno yesterday, but the law provides
that after the judgment has been
passed, the matter of allowing bail is
discretionary with any magistrate hav-
ing jurisdiction. Consequently, if judg-
ment is passed on the date set, Mayor
Schmitz will have ground for new
application for bail, and his request
may run the gauntlet, not only Of the
II judges of the superior court, but
of the appellate justices and justices
Of the police courts as well. Whether
Mayor Schmitz will ask for sentence
on June 81 or ask for a continuance
has not been sated by his attorneys
This has made it impossible for the
prosecution to plan it's action in this
regard.

"FIGHTING BOB" IN MIMIC WAR
StumbIes With Battleships Into Mimic
Game of Warfare.

The battleships Connecticut and AL
ALBANIA, in command of Rear Admiral
r. D. Evans, were totally destroyer
while passing through the narrows on
their way from the Jamestown exposi-
tion to the New York navy yard. Ad-
miral Evans, who evidently had not
been apprised of the war game which
has been going on at the narrows for
week past, was a much amused
man at the sudden roar of the guns.
He rushed to the bridge of the Con-
nectlcut and gazed at one of the forts
and then at the other. One of his Of
ficers enlightened him about the sham
wal" between the forts named by
regular coast artillerymen and national
guardsmen and small boats manned
by regulars representing a hostile
fleet, the purpose Of which was to
test the alertness of the guardians of
the sea approach to New York city.
The officers at Forts Hamilton and
! Wadsworth learned from Fort Hancock
at Sandy Hook that two real battle
ships were passing in the hook. 1t
was jOkingly decided to destroy"
them, and the forts 'gunners" turned
out accordingly. The fog was dense,
ard the Alabama got within 1000 yards
of Fort Wadsworth before being seen.
The Connecticut was about 500 yards
astern as the two mortars were fired
at the two battleships. Presently it
was announced at the forts that the
battleships had been sunk. Neverthe-
less the II and inch guns were
used and the result was double destruc-
ton. Hastily the suggestions mines
in the narrows were exploded and for
the third time the Connecticut and Ala
bama were annihilated. The war game
is now ended and New York was
saved from capture

Steel Mills Close.

The receivers of the Milliken Bros.
corporation, which failed recently
have decided to close the steel mill of
the s7.5O0,000 plant on Staten island
and have, in accordance with this de-
termination, discharged 1900 steel
workers. About 1000 persons are de
pendent upon the earnings of the dis
charged men and as the reopening OF
the mill is problematical, most of the
workers and their families will go tC
other steel centers to secure employ
ment.
The reason behind the receivers ac
ton in closing the mill was said to be
their discovery that they could buy
steel in the open market cheaper than
they could manufacture it.

MAYORSCHMITZ,
SAN FRANCISCO'S Chief RE-
MANDED TO sheriff. CARE.
He Must Stay in Jail by Order of the
Judge-Mayor Pleads Press of Work
Attorney Langdon Insists Defend
ant Appears Before Court as Would
Any Ordinary Citizen.

San Francisco-"No bail for Eugene
San Francisco, was the ruling made
by Judge Frank H. Dunno, in the ap-
plication made by the mayors counsel
that he be given his liberty under
bond pending sentence, which court
will pronounce on June 81.
Judge Dunno adopted as his own the
stand of the prosecution that in the
eyes of the law the mayor is no diff
ferent from any other prisoner on
whom a jury has set the brand of
felony.
Judge Dunno then called the sheriff
before him and said that Schmitz was
not to be allowed his liberty, but was
to be confined in jail unless upon or
ders of court.
Former Judge J. G. Campbell, the
mayors chief counsel, made the formal
motion for the admittance of his client
to bail on the strength of an affidavit
in which the mayor says that by rea-
son of having been compelled to give
almost his whole time and attention to
his trial for the last four weeks, pub
lie business requiring his attention has
been delayed, and there is now a large
amount of it pending and undetermin-
ed and requiring his immediate atten-
| tion.
Schmitz "Ordinary Citizen"
District Attorney Langdon, in a
brief speech, opposed the motion fol-
bail. He said that Schmitz, convicted
of a felony, appeared before court not
as a mayor of San Francisco, but as
an ordinary citizen, and possessing nc
extraordinary rights. In a counter af
| fidavit, which he read, he denied the
allegations of the mayor as to public
matters requiring the personal atten
ton of the mayor.
| Mr.. LangdOn reminded the court thai
as the San Francisco charter provides
that $50 long as the mayor is tenn
porarily unable to perform his duties
a member of the board shall be chose1
president pro TEN. to act as mayor.
1t was not necessary that Schmit.
should perform any of the duties speci
fed in his affidavit.
| Mayor SchmitZ sat without the be
trayal of any emotion during these
proceedings.
