SCHMIDT WANTS
RELEASE ON BAIL
WILL ALSO APPLY FOR REDUO-
TIoN IN BOND.
$500 100000 Is ENOUGH
Will Next be Arraigned With Others
On Nine Indictments for Granting
Exclusive Permits to Fight
Trust In Jail Eight Months.

San Francisco.-Application for the
release on bail Of Eugene E. Schmiz,
who has been confined in the county
jail for eight months, was made to
Superior Judge Dunno by Attorney
Frank C. Drew of counsel for the
former mayor. On account Of the alb
sence from the city Of District Attor-
ney Langdon, Judge Dunno postponed
the matter until Monday.
This was the first move made by the
former mayor to take advantage of
the reversal of the appeal, which, In
effect, declares that he was illegally
convicted Of extortion, holding that
the crime had been committed and
that Judge Dunno had been unfair in
his rulings and made numerous errors.
Attorney Drew stated to the Asso-
ciated Press that the application for
the release Of Schmitz was not made
with the expectation that the re-
mittur from the higher court would
come down at once.
On Monday the application for bail
will not only be renewed, but the
court will also be asked to reduce the
aggregate bail, the bail being in the
neighborhood of $50O,0O0O. Mr.. Drew,
asked Mr.. Hoffcock whether the dis
trict attorney would agree on $780,
600 bail as sufficient to insure the
former mayors presence. In the alb
sence of the district attorney, Mr..
Hoffcock could give no answer but
informed counsel for Schmitz that in
the first place the latter's right to
bail would be vigorously contested.
After the matter of bail for the
former mayor had been disposed of
before Judge Dunno, Schmitz, James
w. Coffroth, manager of an athletic
club, Eddie M. Graney, the well
known referee, and Willis Britt,
manager for James Britt, were ar
raigned on the nine indictments in
connection with the granting Of per-
mits exclusively to the so-called
Eight trust
Abraham Reuff, who is also named
in the indictments was not present in
court. Attorneys for the respective
clients asked that they be given one
week in which to answer the indict-
ments, the obvious intention being to
attack their legality. This motion was
granted.

Breeding and FEEDING.

While inbreeding is the surest and
quickest means to FIX type, the prac-
tice weakens vitality unless very
carefully followed. For this reason
closely inbred hogs are more suscep-
tible to chlora than those whose con-
situations have not been impaired by
the system. The straight corn diet
which many hogs receive from one
years end to the other also lessons vi
tally and the researchers of the Wis
consin Experiment Station have shown
that this is probably brought about by
actually retarding the development of
the vital organs. A minimum of in
breeding and varied diet, including
ample range, will therefore better en-
able the herd to resist the attacks of
disease.-Dr. Alexander.

Muslin Windows in Barns.

The experiment of using muslin cur
tains in place of window glass which
mas proved so successful in poultry
houses all over the country, is now be-
ing extended to dairy barns.
Experiments have shown that even
IN the coolest weather the temperature
OF the stable is lowered only two or
three degrees by the use of these cur
tain windows, while the barns actual
ly have seemed very much warmer.
This result is due to the fact that
the air is kept dry.
Where this plan has been adopted
the cattle have shown less evidence
OF suffering from the cold and the at
PENDANTS have admitted that the barns
have been more comfortable places in
which to work than when the glass
windows were in use. 1t is the excess
or moisture in the air which causes
the feeling of dampness and chill
which prevails in many dairy barns.
