ANOTHER FOR HEATHERToN


yintons victory in the fifth was clear
cut and decisive. Jockey Heatherton
had him close up from the beginning,
and when he let the horse down in the
stretch he was able to breeze over the
favorite, Staudover, with which Miller
had been following Pickaway's pace
closely and which had taken the lead
when Pickaway began to show signs OF
distress. Ed Davis came from a long
way back to take third money from the
firing Pickaway. Ed Davis had been
the tip of the race and was well played
by the paddockites. He was too far
back IN the early stages to make good
Pickaway had been quietly played by
select few and will about do from now
on in similar company, as he ran is If
in need of the race.
Native Sons failure to make good
as a favorite in the closing race prob
ably foreshadows the stating of Harry
Stover's good sprinter. after a string
of brilliant performances He had all
of his early speed, but weakened badly
in the stretch, after racing Security into
submission and wound up in third
place. Cloudlight and College Widow,
two outsiders, made a thrilling finish
of il for the purse, the former winning
by a neck. Both OF them were lengths
behind the flying pacemakers IN the
early stages. but closing with great
resolution. they got UP on even terms
with Native Son after passing the pad
dock and distanced him to the wire by
almost two lengths.

Determination Of Committee
to Harass and Discredit
Him in Submarine Boat
Scandal Seen by
Every One.
SHADOWEO BY SLEUTHS
Stiles Judson, of Stratford, and
Frank T. Brown, of Norwich,
to Represent Mr.. Lilley at
Hearings-May be
Great Farce.
Especial to the JournaI-Courier.)

Washington, March 8. Unless
some great pressure is brought to
bear on congress it is probable that
thes investigation into the charge
against the Electric Submarine Boat
company by Congressman George L.
Lilley of Connecticut will result in one
of the greatest farces ever known in
congress. The determination of the
committee to harass and discredit Mr..
Lilley Is now seen by every one. The
decision of the committee to-day to
compel him to take the witness stand
first compels him to disclose at the
very outset every bit of evidence in
his possession, and thereby give his
enemies every chance to cover up.
One of the most prominent members
of congress and a friend of Speaker
Cannon said tonight that the pro-
ceedings are the most outrageous
ever known. The action of the COM
mittee in refusing to summon the wit
nesses requested by Mr.. Liliey is a
tentative warning that he must fight
the whole battle himself and supply
his own evidence despite the fact that
the house resolution appointing the
committee empowers 1t to summon
witnesses The congressman referred
10 above say Mr. Lilley is "up against
q stacked deck"
The Journal-Courier can announce
authoritatively that Mr.. Lilley will be
represented at the hearings by Frank
T. Brown of Norwich and States At
torney stiles Judson of Stratford, two
of the most prominent lawyers In
Connecticut. These men will fight to
the end the ruling that Mr.. Lilley can
not ask. questions of witnesses without
first submitting them to the commit
tee for approval. This ruling proves
conclusively that the committee Is de-
termined no questions shall be asked
which will prove embarrassing to CON
gressmen under cloud.
Aside from the proceedings at the
capitol the methods of Mr.. Lilley's
enemies are the most disgraceful any
member of congress has even beer
subjected to- Mr.. Lilley is bounded
night and day by six detectives. The
house detective of the Willard hotel
where Mr.. Lilley lives, is authority
for the statement that these sleuths
have actually watched Mr. Lilley's
apartments and dogged the footsteps
Of Mrs Lilley.
Mr.. Lilley is determined he will no
be beaten by the clique now agains
him and If the committee refuses t
play fair he will take other means II
appraise the public of the ALLEGED
scandalous evidence in his possessi On

SCHMITZ SUSTAINED
Supreme Court Upholds Appeal
Decision of Unlawful I'm
prisonment.
FREE ON TECHNICALITY
Indictment on Which Frisco Grafters
Were Convicted Declared
Faulty.

San Francisco, March 9.-That for
mer Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz was
unlawfully convicted of extortion and
sentenced to five years in prison was
reatfirmed to-day, when the state su-
preme court unanimously refused to
grant a re-hearing of the case before
the district court of appeals, which
several weeks ago reversed the judg-
ment and order of the trial court and
ordered the discharge of the defend
ant on the ground that under the law
no offense had been committed. The
court of appeals held, in brief, that,
even though Schmitz had accepted
money from French restaurateurs, he
had not obtained it by threat, and
was, therefore, not guilty of extortion
under the statutes.
Schmitz has been held in jail ever
since his conviction. as there are sew
eral other indictments standing
against him,
Abraham Ruef, who was jointly in
dicted with Schmitz, pleaded guilty
and his sentence is now pending. To-
so applied to him 1t is believed that
Schmtz will Immediately apply for re-
lease from the county jail on ball. and
Ruef may do likewise
The prosecution purposes at once to
bring to trial some of the many 9th
er charges preferred against Schmit7
and Ruef.
The sustained decision of the appel
late court held that the indictment or
which Schmitz was convicted was de-
/ fective in that it did not aver thai
Schmitz was mayor, that Ruef, his CO.
defendant, was political boss in con
