AGAIN TRYING SCHMlTZ
ON CHARGES OF GRAFT,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 2.-Eu-
gene ES. Schmitz, once mayor of San
Francisco. facing trial on one of the
charges arising from the debauchery
of the municipal government by pub
lie service corporations, is a pathetic
figure.
According to the report, by the dec
laration of his attorney, borne u by
his and appearance, he is
"broke." Whether by way of retribution
or not, he has. it is said, lost every
thing. Whatever portion, If any, Of the
thousands lavished by the "higher-ups''
for corruption flowed into his hands
has evaporated In ill-starred ventures.
Schmitz, the man who might have
been SO much and failed so abjectiy,
sits In court YEARLY running his fingers
through his hair and beard. both no
ticeably grayer. Care, and perhaps re-
morse, have left their marks upon his
face. At the same table In the same
court the various "higher-ups," respon-
sible for his downfall, have sat In silent
confidence while shrewd attorneys
warred with the determined Judge who
kept up the fight until his hands were
tied by the higher courts.

OFFICIALS BUSY AFTER
GRADE-CROSSING CRASH,
Mayor and Police Chief Investi-
eating Accident.

Further action may grow out of the
accident at the Burnet street crossing
of the Lackawanna railroad, East Or
ange, when the engineer of the Buffalo
der, on his way to Hoboken shortly
liter B O'Clock, is said to have dis
regarded the red signal lamp of a flag
man and ran down a horse and sled
wedged between the tracks, the horse
eng killed. Several of the East Or
age officials take the view if a trolley
ar had been stalled under similar CON
ditions two blocks below. the fier
sould have killed many.
Mayor Gregory and Councilman
rover, chairman Of the railroad COM
ittee of the City Council, have in
crested themselves in the matter, and
yidence so far secured by Chief of
+ dice O'Neill may result in more than
2 damage suit being instituted against
the railroad company.
An official photographer of the city
yesterday took pictures of the slain
horse and demolished milk sled at the
crossing. at the direction of Mayor
Gregory, and measurement were also
taken by Chief O'Neil1. The fact that
the junction crossing a short distance
away a been the scene of many
escapes has caused the officials to urge
some action before there is a repe-
tition of the Clifton avenue horror to
force the removal of grade crossings.
