.ScHMITz GOES FREE
IMPORTANT ACTION OF CALIFORNIA
 SUPREME COURT.
Highest Court of state Holds taat Frlseo's Mayor Was Unlawfuliy Convicted of Exfortion and
 Sentenced to Jail.

San Francisco. March s.--That for mer Mayor Eugene E.. Schmitz was un- lawfully convicted of extortion and sentenced to five years in eprison was reaffirmed today when the State Su- preme Court unanimously refused go grant a hearing of the case before the District Court of Appeals. which sew eral weeks ago reversed the judgment and order of the trial court and orr dered the discharge of the defendant on the ground that under the law no of- fense had been committed.
 The Court of Appeals held In brief that even though Echmitz had accepts cd money from French reetauranteurs, he had not obtained 1t by threat and
 was therefore not guilty of extortion
 under the statutes.
 Schmitz has been held in taii ever since his conviction as there are sew eral other indictments standing against him
 Abraham Ruef. who was jointly in- dlcted with schmitz. pleaded guilty and his sentence tE now pending Today'a Edecfsfon If the Supreme Court also ap- uifea to. airn. It is believed that schrasitz viii immediately. apply for re- lease from the county jail on ball and Ruef may do likewise The prosecu- tion proposed at once to bring te trial
 some of the many other charges pre-
 ferred against him.
 The sustained decision of the Appel late Court held that the indictment on
 which Schnitz was convicted was ds- fective in that 1t did not aver that
 schmltz was Mayor. that Ruef. his coz
 defendant, was e political boss in com trol of the city and that as such they were in a position to exercise power and undue influence over the police A.. Aats. ahr nV. fortion and that 1t did not show that
 schnitz resorted to unlawful means in threatening to have liquor licenses withheld.

 the trouble was the over suse of b Ax credits in the City of Now York. ~
 T am not only confident th& %he trouble wes attributable to the vyet use of bank credits In New York, Mit I am equally confident that the over use of bank credits there was largely due to the bad habits of tho county banks in keeping so much money on deposit with New York banks."
 Gambling in stocks and in bonds and in. agricultural products were promin- ent causes of the panic, he said. High living and extravaganza and the de- sire to get rich were other causes.

Serious Affray Averted.

Decatur, March -(Special.) )--The surrender of Bascom Turner yesterday ther bloodshed between the Turners and Hollands, in Lawrence County, near Caddo post office,
 Saturday. J.a w. Turner and two l. sons. Baseom Turner and Tom Turner. were tried at Caddo before Justice ". F. Berry on the charge. of having cut the wire fences of w. F. Holland and tresspassing on his farm. After the trial, dispute arose fin the court room which resulted in the stabbing to death of Walter Holland. and the serious cut ting of his father. w, F. Holland and the crushing of U. w. Turner's head with a revolver
 Yesterday J. w. Turner was lying at his home suffering intense pain from the blow which he received on the head Saturday when the news spread rapid ly over the neighborhood that the Hol- lands and their friends were on their way to the Turner home to mob J. W. Turner A crowd of Turner's relatives and friends gathered at the home and a number of Hollands friends also ass sembled nearby.
 After the killing Saturday Tom Tur- ner and Bascom Turner fled to parts unknown, but yesterday Hascum Fur. threatened hia fathers life and he wsnl home to hnd quite crowd Of boke cer' who dsnanded BasconR Turner's surrender. At first he was not inclined to do so. but has father told him if was best for him to surrender, that t shed He did as his father directed and an officer placed him under arrest and took him to Moulton, the county seat of Iawrence County ,.
 J. ". Turner was asked where ms other son was and he said he would have the youn0 man surrender to the officers within a few days, but that he was not ready to give himself up yet.
 W. F. Holland, the father of walter Holland. is much improved and 1t IS now thought that he will recover. He was badly cut and stabbed by the Turner boys in the fight saturday. J. w. Turner will also recover from the lick which he received over the head.
 Rad feeling has existed between the Hollands and the Turner's for a num- Der of years and trouble of a serious
 nature between the two factions has been expected for some time. By many who know them best 1t is the belief that the worst has not yet come and that trouble of a still more serious nature is liable to take place at any time.
 The feud between the two families had it's commencement some years ago, when J. w. Turner bought a farm at mortgage sale which had formerly belonged to w. F. Holland. but had been mortgaged by him and sold under this mortgage Matters between the two families since that Mime have grown from bad to worse and ir is believed that the killing of Walter Holland last Saturday at Caddo will add fuel to the flames.
