SUPREME COURT
CLEARS SCHMITz,
MAYOR MAY NOW GET HIS
RELEASE FROM JAIL BECAUSE
ORIGINAL INDICTMENTS ARE
DECIDE DFAULTY.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10
The supreme court yesterday after
noon, by unanimous vote, handed
down a decision denying the appli-
cation of the prosecution in the San
Francisco bribery-graft cases for a
rehearing after a decision by the
district court of appeals in the case
Of former Mayor Eugene Schmitz,
convicted of extortion in the French
lestaurant cases. Without a dis
senting vote among the seven JUS
tees, the court sustained the appel
late court in its decision that the
indictment upon which Schmitz was
defective in that it did not aver that
Schmitz was mayor, that Ruef, his
codefendant, was political boss
practically in control of the city;
that as such they were in position
tc exercise power and undue infu-
ence over the police commissioners.
and that it did not show that
Schmitz resorted to unlawful means
in threatenind to have liquor li-
censes withheld.
'"The decision demonstrates" said
ex-Mayor Schmitz, that the high
/ est court in the state believes what
| have always claimed, that | was
removed from office and railroaded
! into prison."
'The contention of the respondent
that the appeal was prematurely
TAKEN" says the supreme court,
has no merit. The court is unanI-
nous in the opinion that the dis
htrict court of appeals was correct In
its conclusion that the indictment
was insufficient in that it did not
l.show that the injury to the property
threatened by the defendant was an
unlawful injury.
This decision practically nullifies
Ruefs plea of guilty to the same
charge, invalidates the remaining
four extortion indictments against
the former mayor and Ruef and viii

SUFFERER FROM CANCER THEN
COMMITTED SUICIDE BY TAX
ING POIS0N-WH0LE FAMILY
WIPED OUT.

TACOMA, March 10.-A special
to the News from Tenino says that
Warren Mckay, a native of Canada,
killed his wife and three children
at his home there and committed
suicide last night. Two men on
their way to work early today
found McKay's body, clad only in
underclothing on the trail leading
to town from his home.
1t is believed he poisoned himself,
as no marks are found on his body.
The men notified the marshal and
he went to the Mckay home, where
he found the bodies of the other
members of the family, the wife and
two older children, with their
throats cut and another with its
head crushed in with the blows of a
hammer.
Mckay had been a sufferer from
cancer of the face, and it preyed on
his mind.

h monthly statement just issued
by the United States bureau of Stats
tics on the specie and merchandise
balance Of exports and imports gives
a summary idea of the movements this
year so far. The import of gold for
the month was ore Of the largest on
record for any single mouth, the net
gain being s62, 1875, 1857, against $6,971,.
5l7 in November, 1906, and s4,065,472
in November, 1905. But the gain In
gold for the IL months Of 1907 was
but $44,626.4 1882, showing that prior to
November the gold movement had
been about SIS, 000, 900 against the
United States. For the first IL
months of 1906 the UnNed States
gained s1O3, 131, $50 in gold; but in the
same period of 1905 the net import
was but $2,l3S, 5S9. The relation be.
tween the apparent merchandise bal.
ance of trade and the gold import
seem to exist In the showing, as the
former was 1855 .405 ,439 for the first II
months Of this year, and s421, SOL ,645
for the same period of 1906; while in
the same time of 1905 the merchandise
balance was s349,250,52 Between
1906 and 1907 a loss Of 500, 900, 900 In
the merchandise balance was accom-.
panied by a decrease OF SOS. 900, 900 In
gold imports; while 1905, with a mer.
chandise balance $50, 900, 900 less than
that of 1907, had net gold imports $42..
000, 900 lower. Whether these figures
indicate the invisible factors, or are
merely coincident, may be easily a
matter of dispute. y

Americans Know the Capacity OF the

Gable dispatches tell of a keen in
terest in Europe In the American bat
tleship ileet voyage to San Francisco,
not from a political point of view,
but from the standpoint of navigation
and feet management. The question
whether or no the enterprise will be
successful appears to rise In the
mind of many observers and
tators. Amusing references are made
to Rodjestvensky's ill.starred journey
from Russia to the Straits of Fushima
as furnishing the only parallel to
this expedition. While no one seems
disposed to rate the American ca
pacity as low as that Of the Russian
In this regard, the mere fact hat the
Ro~djestvensky voyage is mentioned In
dicates that there is en- idea, possibly
a hope, that the present trip will prove
rs slow, as costly and otherwise as
ridiculous as did that silly venture.
1t must be acknowledged that no
thought Of possible failure or any
thing less than entire success has thus
far crossed the American mind seri-
ously. From the outset the only ques-
ton discussed has been as to the po-
litical wisdom and the stategic neces-
