Western Live Stock Exposition.

Denver.-With a premium and prize
list aggregating over $500. and with
larger list OF entries OF fine blooded
stock than was ever gathered together
west of Chicago, the Western Live
Stock Exposition will open its gates
to the public January Goth. All ar
rangements for the big show have
been completed practically.
The management OF the stock show
is going to take no chances with the
weather this year. In previous years
there has been some complaint made
that there was no proper place In
which to exhibit the horses. the cat
tie, the hogs and the sheep. When
the weather turned bad during the
show there was cause for this com
plant. This year, however. a spacious
pavilion. capable OF seating between
1000 and 5000 persons has been
erected at the stock yards. A big cir
Gle OF seats built In tiers surrounds
the show ring. The pavilion is GOV.
cred and besides Is heated by steam.
so that no matter what the weather.
spectators will be as comfortably
housed as though they were seated
In an opera house.
The active management OF the stock
show this year Is In the hands OF Col
onel w. +. Skinner. who was for u
number OF years ut the head OF the In
ternational live stock exposition In
Chicago and who built II up Into the
greatest live stock show In the world.

DECISION OF THE CAL
IFoRNIA DISTRICT COURT
OF APPEALS.
IN MAYOR sCHmITz CASE
OTHER CASE WILL BE PRESSED
AGAINST scHMlTZ AND
RUFF.

San Francisco.-The District Court
Of Appeals handed down a decision
Thursday setting aside the judgment
in the case of former Mayor Eugene
q. Schmitz. convicted Of extortion in
the French restaurant cases. Abe
Ruef also benefits by the ruling Of
the upper court. for, according to its
decision. he pleaded guilty to an act
that was no ofYense against the laws
Of the state.
According to the appellate Judges.
the compelling Of French restaurants
to pay big fees" to Abe Ruef was
not q crime. even though Ruef divided
tho "fees" with the mayor.
After discussing the point the court
reverses the judgment against
Schmitz 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.
The decision wipes out the French
restaurant cases and pending charges
Of extortion against Schmitz and Ruef
must be dismissed. Both are now en-
titled to release on bail. II they OBJ
tain the necessary bondsmen, they can
remain at liberty until such time as q
Jury fnds them guilty on one OF the
indictments charging them with re-
ceiving bribes from corporations. Ow-
ing to the number Of cases against
them, the bail, figured at $4,000 4
case. would reach an enormous figure.
The Judges of the court which rem
dered the decision In favor Of Schmitz
and Ruef are ]. A. Cooper. Frank II.
Kerrigan and Samuel p. Hail.
The news Of the decision of the ap-
pellate court declaring the Indictment
Of ex.Mayor Schmitz for extortion in
valid spread rapidly over tho city.
causing CONSERVATION in some quar-
ters and delight In others. Superior
Judge Dunno. before whom Schmltz
was convicted. said:
1T 10 to be regretted that the hear
ing Of this appeal came up before a
court whose members have relatives
and intimate friends against whom
many indictments were returned by
tho grand Jury that returned these
true bills. In view Of these facts do

sustained the judgment. and the ver-
dict ! will further say that the Jury
which returned this verdict In accord
ance with the law will be remembered
with respect and honor In the com.
munity long after the court which set
aside the verdict has been forgotten"
Both Schmltz and Rncf, when seen
at the county jail. refused to make
any statement or comment upon the
decision.
Francis J. Heney. assistant district
attorney. who prosecuted Schmitz. ar
rived Thursday morning from Wash.

THE SHOE SITUATION.

Increased interest is displayed in footwear
for winter and spring delivery, buyers arriving
in the Boston market in large numbers. Many
spring contracts are being placed, and general
conditions among New England manufacturers
are better than at any recent date. While de-
mand is largest for low priced and medium
shoes, the better grades gradually attract more
attention Some factories have already re-
ceived orders enough to keep machinery fully
occupied during the balance of the year, and
country statesmen send in more orders than
previously. Business is confined almost wholly
to staples, little disposition being shown to ex-
