COURT FREES scHMITz.
Trial Court Reversed by Court OF
Appeals.

San Francisco-'The Judgment and
order are reversed and the trial court
is directed to sustain the demurrer to
the indictment and discharge the de
PENDANT as to such Indictment"
This was the decision handed down
by the district court of appeals re-
versing the Judgment of the trial court
in the case of former Mayor Eugene
H. Schmitz, sentenced TO five years in
San Quentin on the charge of holding
up" French restaurants in the matter
of liquor licenses, and setting aside
the indictment on which his conviction
was had. The trial was made notable
by the appearance OF Abraham Ruef.
the political dictator, who controlled
the municipal administration and prac.
tically placed Schmltz in office, as
witness against the mayor, testifying
that he had paid to him as his share
$500 of the $4,000 received by Ruef
from the French restaurants in order
that Schmitz would permit the board
of police commissioners to issue liquor
licenses to them. Ruef had, previous
TO tnls, dramatically pleaded guilty to
the same charge, at the same time
making the enigmatical statement that
he was innocent.
On the ground that the indictment
did not show that pubic offense was
| committed because it did nos allege
t any threat to injure property, the
}, court holding that a liquor license was
: not property, but mere permission;
that threat to prevent the obtaining
a of liquor license by one who had no
e authority in the premises did not con-
i stitute threat against property; and
because of numerous errors in the rul-
g ing of the trial judge-Superior Judge
( Frank II. Dunne-the appellate court
d held that the indictment was invalid

Music and Chess.

AS is we'll known, Sir Walter Par

professor of music in Oxford universe
ty. is an enthusiastic chess player. On
one occasion at st. Michael's college,
Tenbury. he undertook to play two
men in consultation and at the SANE
time play on the pianoforte from mem
ory pieces selected by those present
from any of the classical writer's for
that instrun mt. He not only played
brilliantly during the garbes, never
once looking at the board. but con.
versed animatedly with several per
sons. who did their best to distract
him. The game lasted an hour, and
SlEMalter was the-yictor. His piano
forte selections while the game was in
progress came from such giants as
Bach, Mozart. Beethoven, Mendelssohn
and Chopin, and he afterward e1
planned that. FOR the greater part of the
hou, he HAD been intensely interested

except that instead of having clover
hoofs they have hoofs like a mule.
There are several herds of these hogs

The Wonders Of Paper Making.
1t may surprise the boys and girls to
heal that there are considerably more
than 1900 patents relating to the manu-
facture Of paper. And perhaps 1t may
surprise them even more to hear how
many things may be used to make pa
per Of. Following are some Of them:
The leaves Of trees, the wood Of trees,
hop plants. bean stalks, pea vines. the
trunks and stems of Indian corn, every
variety of grain, moss. clover and dm-
othy hay. more than a hundred kinds
of grass, straw and cocoanut fiber;
fresh water weeds and seaweeds. saw
dust, shavings and asbestus, thistles
and thistledown, banana skins, tobac-
co stalks, tanbark. hair. wool, fur and
old sacking or bagging. In fact. there
seems to be scarcely anything that
may not be used in the process.

Homer.

Alexander the Great was SO fond of
Homer's poems. the "Iliad" and the
"Odyssey," that he carried with him on
his military campaigns an edition of
them in which Aristotle had made notes
and corrections. After the battle of Ar
bella a golden casket studded with costly
Jewels was found in the tent Of Darius,
the Persian commander. When Alex
ander was asked what should be done
with 1t he answered, There is but one
production in the world worthy Of SO
rich a depository and he placed in it
his edition Of Homer. That edition has
ever since been called the Casket Ho-
mer.
