SCHMTTZ KEEPS HIS AUTO.
' 8A.W FRANCISCO, June 18. (Spe
cial.) Mayor Schmltl of Ban Fran
cisco, U the cnl? convict In tha world
who Is prorided with an automobile at
the expemee of the city which colds him
prteoner. The city provides Ita Mayor
with a big red touring- car, and Bcbmlts
Hkd It o well that he took It to Jail
with him and won't (Its It up.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 18. Supervis
or J. L. Gallagher, who was yesterday
by the Board of Supervisors appointed
acting- Mayor In place of Mayor Schmlts,
who Is confined In the County Jail await
ing; sentence for the crime of extortion,
will be by the bribery-graft prosecution
retained in that office until Schmlts has
perfected his appeal - from last week's
conviction. This statement was made this
evening to the Associated Press by Dis
trict Attorney Langdon. He further said:
"The members of the prosecution have
not even dlsoussed with each other the
name of any man to succeed Gallagher
as emergency Mayor for the remainder
of tola year. "We have not gone that far
yet. Wa are yet proceeding carefully
and -with due regard to the seriousness
of the situation. I am riot ready yet to
answer with a detailed plan the question,
Will we sweep out of office the entire
Schmlts administration? But I will say
this: 'We have shaped up and are now
filling In the body of a policy whose one
and only object is prompt and effectual
relief for the public, and we shall per
mit nothing to Interfere with the carry
ing forward of that policy.
Langdon Sure Bib Is Right,
"We do not fear any counter moves by
the Mayor's counsel. We are fully ad
vised of the law- and have entire confi
dence In the legality of the step we have
already caused to be taken the appoint
ment of an acting Mayor and the legal
ity of the further steps we propose tak
ing when Mr. Schmlts has perfected his
appeal."
Mayor Schmlts this afternoon, at the
close of a long conference with his at
torneys, addressed to the Board of Super
visors a letter rebuking that body for Its
action yesterday. In this letter be de
clared himself able and willing to perform
the duties of the mayoralty, commanded
the board to forward to him all matters
requiring review by the Mayor, and
warned the board that any recognition of
Galls gher as acting Mayor will result In
trouble for the city.
Gallagher Needs No Office Yet.
Supervisor Gallagher made no attempt
to take possession of the Mayor's office
at Post and Franklin streets. He did not
visit the place at all. A police sergeant
was "On the door" all day and his In
structions were to see that no one en
croached on the premises. The sergeant
admitted that should Gallagher attempt
to establish himself In Schmlts office
he would use force if necessary In
"throwing him out." Gallagher says he
has no use yet for the office at Post
and Franklin. Be says that for the pres
ent, the Mayor's office la wherever he
happens to be.
Legal developments are expected soon.
It Is understood that as soon as Acting
Mayor Gallagher attempts to perform any
Mayoralty function of Importance in pur
suance of Instructions from the District
Attorney, Eugene 8chmlts' attorneys,
Messrs. Campbell, Metson, Drew, Falrall
and Barrett, will apply to the courts for
a restraining Injunction and an order de
claring Invalid the appointment of Gal
lagher. District Attorney Langdon Is
prepared to resist such a move, and he
believes there la no doubt that the act
of the supervisorial board will be sus
tained. Mayor Schmlts was given permission
by Judge Lawlor this morning to pay an
other visit to the offices of his attorneys
during the day, but failed in his effort
to have the court extend the scope of
absence from the county Jail so as to
permit him to attend to other than pri
vate business.
Harmony for City's Good.
An accord was reached yesterday be
tween the graft prosecution and the com
mittee of ten, composed of representa
. tlves of the five leading commercial or
ganizations. While they will not Join
forces they will work In harmony toward
the same end. The committee of -the
commercial bodies has pledged Its assist
ance In restoring honest government, and
as a beginning has already undertaken
to arrange for indemnity bonds for pro
gressive members of the Board of Works.
This will make men of ability wlUlng to
aeoept positions on the board, where they
refused in the past for the reason that
they were held personally liable for dam
age suits against the city.
6CHMITZ SAYS HE IS MAYOR
Notifies Supervisors Any Recognition
of Gallagher Means Trouble.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 18. The fol
lowing communication was today filed
with the clerk of the Board of Super
visors by Mayor Schmlts:
"Honorable Board of Supervisors: Gen
tlemen Seeing In this morning's papers
a statement to the effect that your hon
orable body at your meeting yesterday
decided that I was temporarily unable to
perform my duties as mayor, by reason
of my detention In the custody of the
Sheriff of San Francisco, and therefore
appointed James Gallagher as Acting
Mayor. I hereby notify you that I am
not unable or unwilling to perform the
duties required of me as Mayor of the
city and county of San Francisco, but
will continue to do so. .
"Tbis action by your honorable body
clearly demonstrates the truth of the
statement I made Just after my return
from Europe, that politics, and politics
alone, was behind the prosecution and
that your action is the first step towards
securing control of the municipal govern
ment, in order that valuable franchises
may be given to the wielder of the 'big
stick," Mr. Rudolph Spreckels, and other
valuable privileges accorded to those who
have co-operated with blm In his en
deavor to puril,- (?) this city.
"I also wish to notify you that any ac
tion taken by Mr. Gallagher, , In the
capacity of Acting Mayor, will be null
and void and will, by the complications
It will cause, do great Injury to the city.
"I demand that you send to my office
all matters passed by your honorable
body, that I may have the opportunity
of Inspecting them and of approving or
disapproving them.
"I further notify you that, so far as
this is possible, I intend to supervise the
work being done by the different depart
ments and In fact all such matters as
may be brought before me as Mayor.
Yours respectfully.
"EUGENE E. SCHMITZ.
"Mayor of the city and county of San
Francisco."

GOVERNOR HUGHES SIGNS THE
MAYORALTY RECOUNT BfLIj.
Without Recanvass, He Says, Fair
ness in Election Methods In the
Country Can Be Criticised.
ALBANY, N. T., June 18. Governor
Hughes today signed the New York
City recount bill, providing- for a re
count and canvass by Judicial process
of the ballots cast for Mayor at the
last election In New York. Governor
Hughes says:
"It Is well known to all who were
conversant with the sentiment In the
City of New York" that there is wide
spread doubt as to the accuracy of the
official canvass. The failure to re
solve that doubt and determine In a
prompt and decisive manner satisfac
tory to all fair-minded citizens the re
sults of the election will result In a
grave scandal. The denial of all re
lief, either under the existing; law or
through appropriate .legislation for
ascertainment of the fact, whether the
votes had been lawfully counted as
cast, has brought our law Into con
tempt and created a grievance shared
by many -thousands of our fellow
citizens. "If the result of this re-canvass Is to
establish the election of Mayor Mc
Clellan it will largely re-establish
confidence in our election methods and
make more unlikely the recurrence of
a similar situation.
"If, on, the other hand, the re-canvass
should show that Mr. Hearst was
elected, every fair-minded cltlsen,
whatever his political convictions,
would rejoice that the fear of estab
lishing; a precedent does not prevent
the righting: of a wrong."
