! II the George c. Kelley company and as
soeiates do not secure an extension of
time at the meeting Of the city commission
today. $4,000 will be due the city from
that company next Thursday, July 10, in
accordance with the terms of the fran
chise recently granted the Kelley inter-
ests. by which to build a street car rail-
way system IL this city.
Forty Thousand collars of this amount
can be paid in notes of good security and
$4,000 of It is to be paid In cash. When
| the Kelley franchise was granted de-
posit of $1,000 was made with the city COM
mission, thus making total of $4,000 that
will have been paid by next Thursday.
$1,000 Already Paid
Should the Kelley interests fail to get
an extension of the time and also fail to
pay the full amount stipulated. their fran
chise will be forfeited and the $1,000 already
paid to the city will be lost Members of
the Kelley company declined last night to
make any statement as TO what their ac-
ton will be.
There has been intimation of autho.i-
ty so far to the effect that the full
amount OF $4,000 will not be paid by the
Kelleys THURSDAY. It was pointed out by
members of the commission yesterday
however, that in case the Kelleys desire
longer time in which to pay the money
such extension win have to be secured at
the commission meeting today as he
money becomes due one day before the
next commission meeting, Friday. The
Kelleys declined yesterday to state
whether or not they would ask for an ex-
tension of time and the members of the
city commission also declined to Indicate
what their action might be in case such an
extension was asked
This much is known, however, unless
the Keleys ask for and receive an exten-
sion of time today, the $4,000 will become
que Thursday, and unless they pay the
$4,000 Thursday they will forfeit theil.

Is Modern Contract
The franchise granted the Kelley in
terests some months ago has since been
considered as one of the most modern
contracts ever entered into by a city 1t
contains many features which are very
new to such franchises. some of which are
the payments which become due Thurs
day and per cent of the gross earnings
of the company which become due to the
city as long as the company operates

In the absence of any statement from
the Kelley interests it is generally believed
that the money will be paid Thursday and
that no time extension will be asked for
Reports are in circulation, however. to the
effect that there are two or three large
corporations and financial institutions
which are willing TO buy the franchise

ALIENISTS EXAMINE
 MURDEROUS PRIEST
RELUCTANT ANSWERS FORGE THEM TO ADJOURN HEARING
 UNTIL OCTOBER 3.

New York, Sept. 24.-Hans Schmidt. slayer of Anna Aumuller, was examined today by alienits for the state in an effor+ to determine his mental condition. Counsel for the prisoner claims he is insane, and in order that expert opinion on this point may be had before the case progresses further. the inquest into
 he Aumuler girls death, which had been est for next Saturday, was ad- iourned to October 3. By that time a decision as to Schmidt'S mental status will have been reached by the states alienists, Dr. Carlos F. Mac donald and Dr. William Mabon, who saw and questioned Schmidt today for an hour or more. It was under stood that he talked freely, as he has at every opportunity during his imprisonment, going into details about his crime. He was backward, however, in responding to questions regarding certain phases of the case with which the alienists were partic- ularly anxious to become acquainted and further questioning later this week was decide upon.
 Father Franz Markert, a chool- mate in Main2, Germany, had long talk with the confessed murderer to- day. He hasn't changed much, said Father Markert. He was al ways of a nervous disposition but wa attributed that to the close attention ho uaid tn his studieS

therefore they have supported the policy of the government, through its chosen agents. when it's policy com mended itself 70 their judgment When they were not convinced, they have acquiesced or pointed otR. in q way that could not be used against their country, their views As a rule, in the diplomatic differences growing out of the land legislation in Cali fornia be-ween this country and Japan, and the differences existing between our government and the Huerta administration in Mexico, the press has voiced and sustained he policies that the executive depart ment of the goyernmen. has adopted.
 The older nations of the world have learned during their centuries of experience the vital necessity of having their foreign policies sup ported by a united public and press. What we in America yield as a pa triotic duty they in the old world coun ries expect not only through patriotism but as matter of bounden obligation from the individ- ual to the state.
 There is a sensitiveness between nations. Supposed sights are often more potent in provoking war than wrongs or injustice If the Ameri' can press publishes what unjustly inflames the American mind against another nation, IS it not to be ex- pected that a sensational press of he country will copy such intlam- matory utterances and reply in kind?

 Mir Schiff then repeated that there was nothing said in regard to the use which the governor was to make of the check Counsel for the prose cution brought out that across the back of the check were the words, MT Schff's contribution toward Willim SulZer's campaign expenses, " and that he had written the words thereon at the time he turned it over to the Frawley Investigating committee
 This is the check of my firm, no. my individual check" explained MT. Sohiff, and when 1 gave it out of my hands l put this notation on it so as to identify the check. When l used the expression campaign expen- ses,' it was a very general eXpres- sion. l certainly had no objection whatever and l think 1t was he gen eral intent and purpose of the con versation with Governor Sulzer that he could use this $2,500 for whatever he pleased. If l search my mind would say to you that Governor Sul- ger could have had this S2,500 at any time and for any purpose, and if l had been very careful l would no- have probably used the words cam paign expenses, because l really meant that he should have the free use of it."
