final adjudication.
cit was something of a surprise
that the Edison company should car
ry the war to Chicago" said George
Kleine, head OF the Kleine Optical
company. 1T is simply an admission
that Chicago represents the trade cen
ter of the business. The fight has
been on in New York between the Bio
graph company and the Edison COM
pany in one form or another f..
years.
The Edison company has been ov-
erruled time and again by appellate
and supreme courts, with reference
to it's patent rights. 1t now is en-.
deavoring to WELD its old patent claim
in the formation Of a trust, and to
protect 1t against the Shermin anti
trust law. The Edison company in a
way has been successful 1t has or
ganized an ironclad trust represent
ing besides itself two French and fiy
American concerns. One of the French
companies is the largest of all for
eign moving picture film makers
The Kleine company, representing
nine foreign firms, is doing strictly
an importing business. It is the larg
est of the western Independent con
Germs. Backing it in the fight arr
nine foreign corporations, the Bio
graph company and six others. The
Biograph company is said to have
spent about 100000 in its successful
effort to prevent the Edison company
ousting it from the moving picture
field. 1t is now declared that the
independents have fund Of 5000,
600 to carry on the new fight agains
the Edison company.
An idea of the magnitude of thu
business which the industry repre-
sents can be formed from the fac
that there are some 10000 moving
picture theaters in the country. anf
the film business alone represents al
annual investment of about $4,000,
900.

One Judge Has Admitted Him
to Bail in the Sum OF
$28O,OOO
Judge Dunno Wants $4,000
More Before He Is
Turned Loose

San Francisco, Cal, March 10
Eugene Schmitz, former mayor of
San Francisco, convicted of extor-
ton, will, unless some unforeseen
event occurs, be set at liberty to-
morrow, but will remain under
bonds to answer charges of bribery
in connection with the public service
corporations.
In the superior court this after
noon, Judge Frank H. Dunno made
the order dismissing Schmitz from
custody on the indictments on which
he was convicted in pursuance of the
decision Of the supreme court yes
terday.
Judge Dunno, however, directed
that the case against the former
mayor be submitted to another grand
jury.
Judge Lawler today accepted bonds
for $280,000 for the release of Mr..
Schmitz on indictments in the United
Railroad, Trolley and San Francisco
gas cases. 1t now remains for the
former mayor to furnish bail for
$4,000 to Judge DUNES depart
ment.
Other developments of the day in
the pribary prosecution were the
filing of afidavits by Francis J. Hen
ey and District Attorney H. Lang
don, in answer to those made by
Ruen and others in support of Rueff's
motion for a revocation of his ar
rangement in the trolley cases.
Heney, like Langdon, denies that
Rueff was promised full immunity
and declares that Rueff failed to live
up to single pledge.

VERY SPICY

there are serious defects in the con-
struction of American battleships was
charged today by Capt. G. McWins-
low, assistant chief of the bureau of
navigation of the navy department,
and Commander A. l.. Key, former
naval aide to President Roosevelt.
The former officer said the ships un-
der Admiral Evans were all over
draft when they left Hampton Roads.
He defended Admiral Rojestvensky
for taking the Russian ships into bat
tie with full bunkers of coal, saying
that the Russian commander could
not have done otherwise for he did
not know how far he would be COM
PEELED to steam.
Commander Key attempted to di-
rect the form of his own testimony
and incurred the displeasure of the
committee on that account. He crit
icized the armor belt and gun decks
as being too low and ammunition
HOSTS as unsafe. He attempted to
dispute the testimony of other off,
GERS, especially Chief Constructor
Capps, but was not permitted to do
so. Finally the committee held an
executive session at which it was de-
cided that Key should be heard to-
morrow, but that his criticism should
be confirmed to ships and not direct
ed against officers
Capt. Winslow said that the ships
could carry at least two-thirds their
capacity of coal and full ammunition
and stores. He said that two-thirds
supply of all stores would make all
American battleships to low, and
therefore armor belts should be rails
ed. He could not state the exact
amount, as he said it would vary or
different ships.
There was no need, said Capt. Win.

GETS A SIS FINE. HANDED HIM
FROM JUDGE GILBERT LAST Ev.
ENlNo.

ENlNe.
J. F. Adams was fined SIS for assault
and battery on the person of one Geo.
Nelson last evening by Judge Gilbert
The case was tried before the justice
without attorneys for either side, both
the defendant and the prosecution sig
nifying their intention to try their ows,
cases themselves.
Both sides had several witnesses
who saw the fracas, which occurred In
front of Kunz's pool hall on Main
street, about 1880 o'clock Monday ev-
ening.
1t seems from the evidence deduced
| that the trouble arose over Nelson's
thinking that Adams was instrument
al in getting him fired off his job as
teamster on the river work now il
progress. Adams, it seems, is one Of
the foremen of the gang who are al
present engaged in putting rip rap ii
the river, and Nelson was a teamstel
employed by him.
Adams said that Nelson came dowr
the street Monday evening looking To-
trouble, and he evidently got 1t, fol
he presented rather battered physi
ognomy in court last evening. Adam.

the aggressor, but as he also though
that Adams had punished the olde
man too severely than the appelatiol
of hard name and a show of figh
warranted, he would fine the defend
ant a five case note. However, h

the fine as light as possible.

dozen men, who are employed at tn
river from through the window of th
judges office.

There was crash, followed by a
few unsurpassed screams. and q
rush was made for the opening on the
part OF the men, who spread over the
house like hounds.
Lord Stonecrop was the first to de.
tect signs Of a raid--his dressing room
was chaos. Then a hysterical shrek
from her ladyship heralded the news
that her famous jewels had disap-
peared, cases and all. Other equally
disturbing discoveries kept arising
like crackers on 4th of July
and Lord Stonecrop swore with unac-
customed fiuency.
The idea Of pursuit was futile. Prof.
Osiris had reached his waiting motor
car some five minutes before the hunt
began and the dry surface Of the road
showed no guiding tracks.
The hired chauffeur subsequently,
deposed to having dropped the profess
sor at lonely country cross.road
some so miles away. where that busy
gentleman discharged him with lib
eral payment explaining that he was
due to give an entertainment at a
mansion close by, but being a trifie
chilled, preferred to walk the brief re-
naming distance. He was staying
the night SO had no further need of
the car.
Ten minutes later the car had left
him. Prof. Osiris ceased as such to
exist, and smart looking young man,

and carrying an apparently rather
heavy pormanteau, look train from a
country station some sixty odd miles

crop had gained his second breath.

are too expensive.

At the first sign OF rheumatic pains

each meal and at bed time. The bot.

Lord Stonecrop nodded In response
to his wife's enQuiring glance.
"Everybody's here" he said gruf-

A rustling and giggling at the back
proclaimed the arrival Of some of the
more obscure menials.
'Now the doors closed. II you

there was something In his vibrant
tones which stirred his hearers cur

"One favor more" continued the
speaker, Il wish the lights to be ex-
