SCHMITZ APPLIES
 FOR HIS RELEASE
FORMER MAYOR OF SAN FRAN- CISCO IS STRIVING TO HAVE BOND REDUCED ON SUITS PEND. ING AGAINST HIM.

San Francisco, January I.-Application for the release on bail of Eugene E.
 Schmitz, who has been confined in the county jail for eight months, was made to Superior Judge Dunne today by Attor- ney Frank c. Drew of counsel for the former mayor. On account of the ab- sence from the city of District Attor- ney Langdon, Judge Dunne postponed the matter until Monday.
 This was the first move made by the former mayor to take advantage of the reversal of the appellate court, which in effect declared on Wednesday that he was illegally convicted of extortion, hold ing that no crime had been committed and that Judge Dunne had been unfair in his rulings and made numerous er- TOTS. Attorney Drew stated to the Asso- ciated Press that the application for the release of Schmitz was not made with the expectation that the remittitur from the higher court would come down at once On Monday the application for bail will not only be renewed, but the court will also be asked to reduce the aggre- gate bail on the 40 indictments against Schmitz, the bail being in the neighbor- hood of $500000. MT. Drew asked MT. Hoffcook whether the district attorney would agree on $200,000 bail as sufficient to insure the former mayors presence. In the absence of District Attorney Lang don, MT. Hoffcook could give no answer, but informed counsel for Schmitz that in the first place the latters right to pail would be vigorously contested.
 After the matter of bail for the for mer mayor had been disposed of before Judge Dunne, Schmitz. James w. Golf roth, manager of an athletic club: Eddie M Graney, the well known referee and Willis Britt, manager for James brltt' were arraigned on the nine indictments in connection with the granting Of fght permits exclusively to the so-called fight trust"
 Abraham Rpef who is also named in the indictments, was not present in court. Attorneys for the respective clients asked that they be given one week in which to answer the indictments, the obvious intention being to attack their legality. This motion was granted.

BARON TAKAHIRA
 PLEASED TO RETURN
NEW AMBASSADOR FROM JAPAN TO UNITED STATES TALKS OF PLEASANT RELATIONS WITH AMERICANS.

Rome, January 11.-Baron Takahira, the Japanese minister to Italy. has received official notification from Toklo of his ap- pontment as ambassador to the United States Speaking of the appointment to representative of the Associated Press tonight, he said:
 While I am not insensible of the re- sponsibility involved in my mission, owing to the growing importance of the rela- tions between Japan and the United States, l am exceedingly well pleased to return to Washington, where I believe I have a large number of friends. whose sympathy I always appreciated most highly.
 What l shall have to do there regard ing which l have been often interrogated of late, l do not think l am prepared to say or shall be until after my arrival in Washington. With regard to the dis Quieting reports that have so often ap- peared in the newspapers concerning the Japanese-American feeling. I am con vinced that there is no ground whatever for them. l have never attached any importance to them, as I fully believed indisputable sincerity of the friendship exists between the two countries as IL existed before any talk of antagonism arose.
 Already it begins to be evident what nonsense are all these threatening pro- visions concerning the voyage of the American fleet to the Pacific described so indiscriminately as a menace to Japan. Note my words" concluded Baron Taka- hira ''rrhe sky will be completely cleared before long,"
 Baron Takahira will leave here about the end of January or the beginning of February for London, taking passage im- mediately on his arrival in London for the United States.

CONFIDENCE IS
 FULLY RESTORED Financial Conditions Are Sound
 in New York GOOD REPORTS FROM SOUTH Business Is Looking Up In All Sections and Clearing House Certificates Will Soon Be Things of
 the Past.

New York, January 11.-For the first time since the beginning of the financial stringency in October, the clearing house statement today showed that not only had the heavy bank reserve deficit been en- tirely wiped out, but that a surplus of S6,084,050 above the 25 per cent legal re- quirement had been established. The fig ures made known today exceeded the most sanguine hopes of the bankers and brokers, and when the statement appeared on the stock tickers it was greeted with a round of cheers in practically every banking house in Wall street.
 Bankers declared that no better evil dence than the clearing house statement could be obtained to show the rapid res toration of confidence than the tre- mendous outpouring of hoarded money. The excellent statement foreshadows an early retirement of clearing house certifi- cates, which were first issued on October 26 of last year. With the end of the money stringency there will now be plenty of cash for the business and industrial world, and many contemplated projects which were temporarily abandoned dur ing the money pinch, can now be financed and proceeded with
 The clearing house banks faced a de- felt in reserves on November 23 of $54,- 1o3, 600, the largest in history. Since that time the deficit has constantly decreased and with the rapid return of hoarded money and funds from the interior last weeks deficit of $11,5O9,55O has not only been obliterated but substantial surplus of $6, 900 established

Jackson, Miss, January 11.-(Spe- cial.)-A general resumption of the lumber manufacturing industry in south ern Mississippi is now in prog ress and practically all of the mills that have been closed down for the past 60 days are booking heavy orders and preparing to run the usual work ing hours. Industrial conditions gen. erally in Mississippi are satifactory. Barring the lumber industry, there were no closings of manufacturing plants during the period of depression. State and national banking institutions have in their vaults more money to loan than they can find takers for and the general outlook is in every way gratifying.

RIGHT FOOD.
How the Baby Was Saved.

When our first baby came II was
soon apparent that his mother could
not nurse him. and it became neces
sary to feed him artificial food. We
tried everything recommended by our
family doctor, then consulted several
other physicians in succession.
I'VE experimental with nearly every
artificial food, but could barely keep
the baby alive, and at the age of
five months he weighed no more than
at birth. When eight months old he
had gained very little, and his stono-
ach and bowels were in such a condi-
ton that we despaired of raising him
"A chance acquaintance recon-
mended Grape-Nuts, and we com
menced feeding him on il. soaking II
until soft in warm water. as milk
would not stay on his stomach.
From the very first we saw that
We had found the right food at Iast
and he began TO improve immediatelv
We fed him on Grape Nuts in This
way and absolutely nothing else for
several months, and he grew so fast
and became so fat and strong thai
our friends were surprised and could
scarcely believe that it was the same
child.
He did not even begin to crawl or
cut his teeth until after we nut him
on Grape-Nuts. Until that time he
was weak and helpless and cried
nearly all the time. Now he is a
strong. bright. rosy-cheeked child of
ga years"
