ACT OF scHMITz NO CRIME.
Appellant Court Decides In Favor Of
Frisco's Ex-Mayor.

San Francisco. Jan. 10.--The dis
trict court of appeals handed down a
decision Thursday setting aside the
Judgment In the case of former Mayor
Eugene e. Schmitz. convicted OF ex-
tortion In the French restaurant case
Abe Ruef also benefits by the ruling
OF the uper court, for. according to
Its decision, he pleaded 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 Rusf was not a
crime. even though Ruef divided the
"fees" with the mayor.
After discussing the point the court
reversed the judgment against
6chmitE on the ground that no acts
constituting q crime had been proved
against him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded
guilty to extorting money from the
French restaurants. is therefore
equally guiltless.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 13.-The incarcer-
alton In the local Jail of Arthello Du-
boz, a supposedly crazed mulatto,
brings to light the story of the black
est crime that ever darkened the
pages Of the history Of Choctaw coun-
ty. Alabama. Indeed there have been
few. II any, crimes in the annals Of the
state that can approach II.
Duboz was removed to the local bas-
tile because of the feeling aroused IN
Choctaw county over the deliberate as.

lated by Duboz to connect him with the

The prisoner says he saw Mr..
Hodges riding along on his horse and
that he shot at and missed him. Mr..
Hodges called out. asking Duboz II h.

made answer that the gun had been
accidentally discharged and urged Mr.
Hedges to come on, as he was not go,

boz says. rode to within a few yards
OF where he was standing. Duboz says
he again fired on Mr.. Hodges. This
shot, he says, took effect and Mr.
Hedges was instantly killed.
Duboz also told that he had slain
the mulatto woman and the little girl.
saying he shot the woman and cut tic
child's throat. He denied having any
thing to do with the burning of The
house and the cremation Of his vic
tins.
Whether Mr.. Hodges was killed be.

WON'T ALLOW LODGE TO ATTEND
FUNERAL IN Hls CHURCH.
Says His Opposition to Order 10 Based
on Knowledge About the Molly
Macuires.

Philadelphia, Jan. S.-Members OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernians were
stirred Tuesday by the refusal of Rev.
r. l. McDermott. rector Of st. Mary's
Roman Catholic church, to permit
funeral services to be held in his
church over the remains Of John DAILY,
parishioner, because q Hibernian
lodge had been invited to attend the
obsequiss.
Father McDsrmott, In explanation
Of his opposition to the society, said:
MY absolute opposition to the
Ancient Order Of Hibernians is based
on my knowledge and the facts in my
possession about the Molly Maguires.
which I got directly from the con.
demned Molly Maguires themselves.
No power on earth will ever make me
recede one inch from my stand against
the Hibernians. have given my
testimony against them and what 7
said was true and is true, and can.
not compromise on It,"
In further explaining his attitude,
Father McDermott said:

which | was directed to prepare pre-.
senting the facts in my possession to
be read before the third plenary coun-
Gil In Baltimore. After I had pre-
pared the document under the direc.
ton Of DR.. Corcoran. I was called be.
fore Archbishop Ryan here and asked
to read II to him. He declared that It
contained features that would cause
one Of the greatest scandals the
Catholic church has ever known, and
informed me he would use his infiu
encs against having II submitted be-
fore the council l sent the memorial
to DR.. Corcoran. but through the in.
nuence Of Cardinal Gibbons and Arch.
bishop Ryan, during the sessions OF
the council in Baltimore, the memorial
never reached the council.
Archbishop Ryan and Q number OF
other prominent clergymen are aware
that the facts have in my posses.
sion against the Ancient Order OF
Hibernians are true, and that II made
known they will cause the greatest
kind Of scandal, and I have a mind
to give them to the public"
When Archbishop Ryan's attention
was called to Father McDermott's
81 statement. he replied that he did not
care TO discuss the matter In any way.

SPORTS.
ALL-AMERIcaN FOOTBALL TEAM.
by james }. Hogan. Former Yale
Captain and All-American
Tackle.

To select an eleven that will con-
tain the best men in each position is
in every season an achievement bord-
ering on the impossible. Occasionally
men stand out so prominently in their
positions that there can be no doubt
i'm a critics mind as to their right to
these places. In the season that has
Just ended men of such merits are
entirely lacking in some positions and
numerous in others. Where such
players are lacking, to find the most
useful one playing is fully as difficult
as ii is to decide who among a num-
Der of superior men is the best.
Any fair minded critic will enter
tain suspicion of the appropriate
ness of all those whom he picks. He
will also find himself at a divergence
when he compares his selection with
that made by any other equally com
petent critic. II is not. therefore. to
be expected that the following selec-
tions will coincide in every man with
that made by any other follower of
the sport
All of the men chosen are either
players who have proved their eN-
ceptional worth to such an extent that
the consensus Of opinion has fixed
their status or men whom the writer
from actual observation believes to
be entitled to a place on an all-Am-
erican eleven
