CCHNITZ FREED BY COURT.

Fatal Defects Are Found in Indict-
ment Ut San FranciscO's Ex-MayOr
San Francisco, March 10.-The
Supreme Court by unanimous vote
handed down decision yesterday
denying the application of the prose-
cution in the San Francisco bribery
graft cases for a rehearing after a
decision by the District Court Of APP
peals in the case of exMayor Eugene
E. Schmitz, convicted Of extortion in
the French restaurant cases. With
out q dissenting vote among the
seven justices. the court sustained
the appellate court in its decision
that the indictment upon which
Schmitz was convicted was defective
in that 1t did not aver that Schmitz
was Mayor; that Ruef, his co-defend-
ant, was a political boss practically
in control of the city; that as such
they were in a position to exercise
power and undue influence over the
police commissioners, and that it did
not show that Schmitz resorted 70
unlawful means in threatening to
have LIQUOR licenses withheld.
The decision demonstrates" said
ex-Mayor Schmitz. that the highest
court in the state believes what
have always claimed, that | was re-
moved from Office and railroaded to
prison."

New York, March 9.-"We will
go to the National convention in

we will take particular attention to
impress upon delegates from other
States the fact that not one thing

made law by the present Legisla-
ture"
This statement was made today
by State Senator who has gone on
record as favoring the promotion of
New York's Governor. Taken in
consideration with other things, it
indicates very clearly that the New
York delegation. while ostensibly for
Hughes. will not be remarkable for
Its loyalty.

Lumber Rate Argument Prov. |,
Other Rates Too High.
Olympia, Wash. March 9.-The
lumber rate question is becoming an
important factor in the valuation
hearings before the Railroad Com
mission, and on 1t. whichever way it
Is decided by the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, the Railroad
Commission will apparently be able
to base a finding that rates on other
commodities a. e too high.
The Commission has been endeav-
oring to bring out as much testi-
mony as possible concerning the
lumber rate, and by stipulation with
the railroad attorneys has introduced
portions Of the testimony of Presi-
dents Hill and Elliott. submitted on
the subject to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
1t will be the theory of the
Railroad Commission that If the old
Accent rate on lumber occasioned a
loss to the railroads, then the sur
plus as shown in the financial state
ments of the companies has been at
tanned by charging exorbitant rates
to shippers of other commodities. II
the rate was not too low, then other
rates are proportionately too high.

THE POINT OF VIEW

How easy it is to asperse the mo-
tives of another, and how suspicious
a persons conduct becomes when he
is accused of wrong doing, were
shown in the submarine boat scandal,
which has proved a mystifying circle
ending with the Identification of an
anonymous letter writer Represen-
tative Lilley charged the electric boat
concern with exercising undue in
fiuence at Washington. and it was
discovered that his first information
came from an anonymous letter.
The letter was traced TO an officer OF
a competing company. but in the
meantime bureau officials and the sec.
rotary of the navy as well as numer-
GUS congressman were on the carpet,
and all their transactions in the boat
line looked suspiciously as il they
were favoring the electric company,
until the mystery was cleared Then
their conduct appeared perfectly nat
ural. There is great deal in the
point of view, and a man as well as
building looks crooked, when
viewed from a queer angle.

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York. May 2.-Dun's Review
says; Bank exchanges this week al
all leading cities in the United States
are s2,071,994.Os5-24.1 per cent
under year ago and 37B per cent
less than in the corresponding week
of 1906. The losses this week are
accentuated by the fact that the week
in both preceding years includes two
and three days respectively of the
first days of May, when monthly set.
Elements through the banks always
add materially to bank clearings.
This year the week ends on the last
day of April. The decrease in bank
exchanges is evenly distributed,
though New York. Boston. Phiadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Baltimore and San
Francisco report losses somewhat in
excess of the average. Kansas City
again reports gain, and the losses
at some of the leading western cities
are below the average.

THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES.

1t was good week. Arkansas,
Colorado, Maine, Maryland and West
Virginia and North Carolina Joined
the Taft column, Significantly in
connection with these returns Missis-
sippl, Florida and Tennessee send
|contesting delegations and Louisiana
and Virginia send uninstructed dele
cations to the Chicago convention. It
has been iterated and reiterated that
the Taft boom was bolstered by ad-
ministration favor and his chief sup
port would come from the "rotten
boroughs" of the far south. On the
contrary the only effective opposition
to Taft has been in the states where
federal patronage and money are the
only things that arouse sufficient in
terest In a Republican convention to
attract a quorum. Other candidates
have been unable to manage their
own state delegations without Taft's
peremptory instructions to his friends
TO support them through courtesy.
Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont,
New Hampshire. Michigan, Ohio. the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri,
Colorado, Arkansas. Maryland, West
Virginia. Kansas, North Carolina and
Kentucky-these are for Taft. When
he needs them, New York, Wisconsin
and part of Illinois will be for him.
Control of the southern delegation
has been the deciding factor in most
Republican conventions,
and it would be nothing to the dis
credit of Mr.. Taft If the south was as
solidly for him as II was for Presi-
dent Mckinley; but the Taft senti-
ment knows no sectional lines and
no class feeling.
