LEGAL CRIMINAL

Decision Saves Mayor Schnitz.
The three justices of the district
court Of appeals at San Francisco
have set aside the judgment of the
lower court in the French restaurant
cases in which former Mayor Schmitz
was convicted Of extortion. Abe Ruef
also benefits by the courts ruling. for
according to the decision he pleaded
guilty to an act that was no offense
against the laws of the state. Accord
ing to the judges, compelling of French
restaurants to pay big fees to Abe
Ruef was no crime even though Ruef
divided the fees with the mayor The
court reverses the judgment against
Schmitz on the ground that no acts
constituting crime had been proved
against him. The decision wipes out
the French restaurant cases, and the
pending charges of extortion against
Schmitz and Ruef must be dismissed.
Both are now entitled to release on
bail.

grand jury at New York for the alleged

had expected this action and was ready
with the $4,000 bail bond to secure his
release. His counsel intimated that
his defense would be that of faulty

WAR FUND ASKED FOR.
Department Wants Congress to Grant
$1o,o00,00o For Equipment.


Washington, Jan. 14.-Major General
W. d. Duvall, assistant chief of staff
Of the United States army, in a special
request to congress asked for an ap-
preparation of $10,000,000 for the pur'
chase of arms and equipment for an
army of 25O,O00 men.
This request was strongly Endorsed
by Major General Franklin Bell, chief
of staff, and Robert Shaw Oliver, AS
sistant secretary of war;
The request provides for an expen'
diture of $2,50O,000 year for -four
years.
The equipment purchased is to be
stored in New York, Philadelphia and
San Francisco. 1t consists of uniforms
blankets, mess gear and other articles
for field service.
The most remarkable thing about the
request is that it uses the expression
such equipment to be used in time OF
war"
The maximum provisional strength
of the army is only 100000 men, al
though only 53,940 men are now in
service.
The request provides for an army
almost five times the size of the en-
listed strength today.
General Duvall, General Bell and
Secretary Oliver win not discuss the
emergency measure, but its signiti.
canoe is widely commented on.

AS Mr.. Littleton started the story
of Thaw's life the prisoner leaned over
the arm of his chair and whispered ex-
citedly to A. Russell Peabody. His
face was white, and the Precipitation

He seemed to be struggling to with

Mr.. Iittleton closed his address by
thanking the jury for their patience
and stated that he regretted his
coming to court unprepared to make
an opening address. He explained that
it had been his intention to prepare his
address last night and deliver it today.

bank notes under this bill are to state
upon their face that they will be re-
deemed by the United States in law
full money upon presentation at the
treasury instead of bearing the pres.
ent legend that they are secured by the
guarantee Of United States bonds de-
posted with the treasurer Another Is
that banks must carry 10 per cent Of
their reserves in their own vaults.
The bill provides for an additional is
sue of bank circulation, which shall
not exceed in the aggregate $250,OO0,-
600, subject to a tax of per cent and
which may be secured by state, county
and municipal bonds. An important
provision is that giving the secretary
of the treasury and the comptroller
discretion as to the necessity of this
additional issue and the amount to be
put out. The chill is understood to
have the vigorous opposition of Charles
N. Fowler, chairman of the house COM
mittee on banking and currency, and

Wants Government Newspaper.
Congressman Hobson of Alabama,
famous as the hero of Santiago and
later of several kissing campaigns, is
said to favor the establishment by the
government Of an official weekly news
paper for free distribution, for which
he wishes congress to appropriate
$350,0O0. This periodical would con-
tain summary Of the work of con-
gress and all departments of the gov
eminent so far as it might interest the
public. He says the journal is intend
ed to form connecting link between
the government and the people and
that the project grew out of his hav-
ing ascertained that vast amount of
valuable material did not reach the
people for whom it was intended. He
thinks the publication of such a paper
will remove distrust and suspicion and
create renewed interest and conf
dence among the masses In govern
mental affairs.
Knox Fathers Labor Bill.
The first bill to overcome the obiec-
tionable features of the employers

lifted by a decision Of the supreme
court, has been introduced in the Unit

to make it applicable only to corpora

congress has the undoubted right to
control and to employees of such cor
porations as are engaged exclusively
in interstate commerce.

Following close upon the action OF
Senator Aldrich in introducing a cur

deemable in gold for the larger bills

sidiary coins 1t also provides for alb
solute protection to all depositors in
national banks by placing in the Unit

which by January, 1909, should approx
innate $4,000, 900, and finally the estab-
lishment of certain rules and regula-
tions whereby the financial operations
of the treasury shall be so conducted
that the government will cease to be a
disturbing factor In trade and COM
merce.
Hale Backs Brownson.
Senator Hale, chairman of the COM
mittee on naval affairs in the United
States senate, has introduced bill
which will, it is thought, open the way
for an investigation of the controversy
between President Roosevelt and Rear
Admiral Brownson as well as some
other features of the present naval adj
ministration. One clause of the act,
which explains its character, says: aOf-
ficers in the various staff corps Of the
navy shall hereafter have actual rank
ara title as now established. This T ro-
vision shall in no case carry with it
command over any vessel of the navy
department, but such command shall
be exercised only by line officers"
This is a recognition of the principle
for which Admiral Brownson contend
ed and the ignoring Of which by the
president led to his resignation from
the bureau of navigation.

American Fleet Gets Royal Greeting
From Brazilians.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 14.-The American
fleet of sixteen battleships received a
royal welcome when it entered this
harbor from Trinidad.
All the way down from Port of Spain
the voyage was an enjoyable one. The
northeast trades were encountered as
far as Cape st. Rogue, with long sea
swell, the warships pitching graceful
ly. They steamed in double column,
the Connecticut and the Minnesota,
the latter the flagship Of Rear Adj
miral Thomas, leading. To some ex-
tent the progress of the fleet was ham,
pered by the strong currents and the
swell, poor coal and minor derange-
ments of the auxiliary machinery of
several of the ships.
Dispatches from Pernambuco tell Of
disorders among the sailors of the tor
pedo fotilia, which arrived there on
Friday. While on shore leave the sail
ors became engaged in a row among
themselves and with the Brazilian po-
lice, who interfered. A large number
Of the sailors received injuries, and
twenty of them were arrested on
charges of drunkenness. Lieutenant
Commander Cone had conference
with the authorities and will prevent
further trouble between the police and
the sailors. Edward Gray, sailor on
