PLANS TOPOGRAPHIC
MODEL OF THE STATE
United States Biographies Would Make
One for A.-Y.-P. Exposl<ion.

United states Geo0rapner W0Nl0 MAKE
One for A.-Y.-P. Exposlkion.
President Henry A. Mclean Of the
state commission for the Alaska-Y ri
|kon-Pacific exposition is in receipt Of
Ia letter from Mr.. e G. Barnard, geog-
[rapher Of the typographical branch Of
the United States geological survey,
suggesting the construction OF topo-
graphical model OF the state Of Wash
|ington as one Of the exhibits for the
Alaska ukon-Pacific exposition. The
plan Is to construct model about
3Ox45 feet and place 1t in one OF the
exhibition buildings. showing the loca-
|tion and elevation Of the mountains,
rivers and lakes and giving them all
lin proportion. A part OF Mr.. Bar
lnard's letter is as follows:
THE varied topography and notable
physical features insure model of
striking appearance. On q model even
lon the scale Of one mile to the inch,
the great natural resources OF the
state would be plainly indicated, as
we'll as the remarkably advantageous
location Of the city OF Seattle as re-
CARDS commerce and harbor facilities.
.''The timber resources could be
forcibly set forth by indicating the
timbered areas, the national forests.
as well as the timber lands under pri-
vate ownership. The lands reclaimed
by irrigation could be indicated, and
the model would clearly and fOrcib1y
show other areas that were suscepti-
BILE of reclamation, as well as the pos
sibilities of storing water for the same.
The model could also show in gem
eral way the remarkable possibilities
for the development Of power in the
Cascades. All the railroads, principal
roads, towns, streams, lakes and
marshes could be indicated. A photo
graph of such a model would be es-
pecially valuable as a circular adver-
tisement of the exposition.
IF flowing water could be arranged
for In the larger streams it would add
to the effect, but this is detail which
cannot be decided upon at the present
time.
IF the necessary amount of money
could be guaranteed for the making Of
la model on the scale of one mile to
the inch, the geological survey would
undertake the supervision, furnishing
all the data and charging only for ac-
tual cost Of the materials and photog-
|raphy."

scHMITZ CONVICTION
REVERSED BY COURT

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE judg.
ment and order are reversed and the
trial court is directed to sustain the
demurrer to the indictment and dis
charge the defendant as to such in
dictment."
This was the decision handed down
by the district court of appeals, re
versing the Judgment of the trial court
in the, case of former Mayor Eugene
E. Schmitz, sentenced to five years in
San Quentin on the charge Of extor
ton, based upon the holding up" Of
the French restaurants in the matter
OF liquor licenses, and setting aside
the indictment on which his convic'
ton was held. The trial was made
notable by the appearance of Abra
ham Ruef, the political dictator, who
controlled the municipal administra.
ton and practically placed Schmitz in
office, as witness against the mayor
testifying that he had paid to him as
his share $4,000 of the $4,000 received
by Ruef from the French restaurants
in order that Schmitz would permit
the board Of police commissioners to
issue liquor licenses to them. Ruei
had, previous to that, dramatically
pleaded guilty to the same charge, at
the same time making the enigmatical
statement that he was innocent.
On the ground that the indictment
did not show that a public offense was
committed, because it did not allege
ANY threat to injure property, the
court holding that liquor license was
not property, but merely permission;
that a threat to prevent the obtaining
OF liquor license by one who had no
authority in the premises did not con-
stitute threat against property, and
because OF numerous errors In the
ruling Of the trial Judge, the appellate
court held that the Indictment was in
valid and the conviction null and void.

Ter coast points are declared to be per-
'fectly equipped to repel attacks.
Fleet 10 Shield for Work.
While not acknowledging any appre-
hension, the administration is rushing
the work with real vigor. 1t was
learned from an authoritative source
that one of the potent factors in de-
termining the dispatch Of the fleet to
the Pacific was a realization of the
weakness at certain points. The pres
ence of the fleet in the Pacific RENE
dies all defects and structural weak
ness in coast defense points. As long
as it remains there it will make up for
any shortcoming in coast fortifica-
lions.
By the time the fleet leaves the
waters of the Pacific it is believed all
the weak points will have been re-
inforced and the defenses will be OF a
modern and approved t5pe.
Weaknesses Pointed Out.
Puget sound is four miles broad and
the current is SO deep and swift that
mines cannot be placed. Big search
lights are needed to watch the enemy
lat night. There are not enough big
guns there to make the harbor impreg-
|nable There are now en- route for
this point a full battery of search
lights and complete auxiliary bat
terry, which will make the spot in
vincible. A complete list Of the guns
there or on the way will be printed
later.
Honolulu has no Notifications. Eight
|mortars have been provided for, but
have not yet been put in place.
Guam is unprotected.
Manila bay is not mined, and while
q heavy shipment of guns, mines and
torpedoes is on the way there, it has
not yet arrived, and it will probably
be four months before the defense
there is in place.
Subig bay is fully protected by
mines, lights. torpedoes and navy
guns. This is the point that Admiral
Dewey wishes to make the base of sup
plies, and probably its armament will
be greatly augmented.
San Francisco is heavily guarded by
mines. torpedoes, guns and lights.
Getting Large Coal Supply.
In addition to the armament and am
munition supply. the government has
taken long look ahead in the matter
OF coal supply. With the fleet in the
Pacific the United States can supply
its coal depots to the limit.
From the time the fleet arrives on
the Pacific, and after its departure
from there, the war office here be-
lieves the United States will be ready
to meet and repel any hostile p0Yer
that may attack the Philippines or
coast points. The government has
stored at Cavite 10000 tons OF coal.
At Puget sound there are $4,000
tons, at Mare Island 1900 tons. There
are afloat for the heet Ia. 900 tons.
This amount win probably provide for
the fleet On its way to San Francisco
and probably two months more.
Only recently the government made
the enormous shipment sof l2,o00. 900
rounds Of ammunition for the Philip
pines, this being for the use of the
army In case it should have to be
strengthened to repel land attack
either at Subig bay OF Manila.
One Of the experts said that the
neet went to the coast as perfect and
complete defense for coast ports and
insular possessions until they can get
what has been ordered to- them on
their own merits as points of defense.
