THE LOST SCHOONER

The identity of the schooner lost In
Tuesdays storm off Cape Hsttsras, has
been definitely established. She was,
as had BEEN feared, the Leonors, from
Round Point, Maine, to Charleston,
with cargo of feb scrap. The cook,
one of two men saved from the wreck,
hasd been unconscious after bis struggle
ia the breakers, ever since the lifessvers
found him on the beach, until Thurs
day, when consciousness returned. He
told The name of the schooner and the
horrors through which the crew passed
before they were drowned. Four of the
five bodies missing came sshore yesterday
afternoon. One ives that of Captain
Glchris', which was identified by the
cook. The survivors, told that the vessel
Was lost 10 a dense fog, and that she
broke up almost ss soon as she struck.
To reach shore in the lifeboat was impos-
sible, and the men, elipging to. the
wrecksge, cast themselves into the sea.
The cook and German sailor were all
who reached the shore alive. Three
HUNDRED feet of the beach YVES washed
away near Oregon Iulet by the storm

JUDGMENT SET ASIDE.

The District Court of Appeals Of San
Francisco handed down a decision yes
terday setting aside the judgment in the
case of former Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz,
convicted Of extorti0n in the French res
tsuraut CAGE. Abe Ruef also benefits by
the ruling of the upper court, for, &C.
cording to its decision, he plesded guilty
to an act that was no offense against the
laws of the State.
According to the appellate judges, the
compelling Of French restaurants to pay
''fees" to Abe Ruef Yves not crime,
even though Ruef divided the "fses"
with the Mayor. After discussing the
point, the court reversed the judgment
sgainst Schmitz on the ground that no
acts constituting crime had been proved
against him. Abe Ruef, ghO pleaded
guilty 90 ex.ois.Dg money from tLe
French restaurants, is, therefore, equally
guiltlsss.
The decision wipes out the French
restaurant cases and pending charges OF
extottion against Schmiiz and Ruef must
be dismissed.
Both are now entitled TO release on
bail. If they obtain the meet sssry
bondsmen they can remsin at liberty
until such times as q jury finds them
guilty on one of the indictments chsrg'
ing them with receiving brides from
corporations. Owing to the plumber Of
cases against them the bail, figured at
$40, 900 case, would reach an enor-
nous figure.
Schmiiz and Ruef cannot take sdvan-
tage of the decision fol- 60 days. Tue
prosecution has 20 days 10 which to ask
for a rshearing. Then the Appellate
Court will have 10 days to consider the
application. When that is done the
prosecution will go through the same
procedure in The Supreme Court, which
will take the same length of time.
Consequently, Schmiiz aud Ruef will
still be kept in the county jail for two
months at least.

THE TWo-CENT rate is still causing
trouble TO some railroad companies.
Not only has the law seriously inteifered
with receipts, but it is now said to be
necessary to employ additional road
agents to exercise espionage over conduct
o,s in order that the companies may re-
cave all the money collected under the re-
duced rate. Ia by-gone days comparatively
few persons boarded trains withoutpur-
Oh 4siug tickets, as should they do 30 an adj
diuonal ten cents was collected by the
conductor. At present, however, man
can aboard train minus ticket, and
tn conductor can only collect fare at the
rate of two cents mile. Taking adj
vantsge Of these conditions, many pas
seugers neglect to procure tickets, and
conductors sre consequently forced 10
handle considerable money every day.
Some have found themselves in trouble
In consequence, and have lost their po-
sitions by reason of shortages. But few
men start out in life with dishonest pur-
poses, but being in positions where they
daily handle considerable sums of money
belonging to Others, they are exposed to
temptation unfortunately too strong for
some.
