TO BE CANDIDATE
Convicted Mayor Professes to
Believe He Will Be
Re-elected.
CONSCIOUS OF INNOCENCE
Imagines Labor "Unions still Trust
Him Will Fight Delay of Sen
tence by Mandamus Suit
Against Judge.
SAN" FRANCISCO. July 2. Mayor
Eugene E. Schmitz. who Is awaiting sen
tence under conviction of extortion. In an
interview this evening authorized the As
sociated Press to say that he will be a
candidate for re-eltction to a fourth term,
and that he has already begun the pre
liminary work of his campaign. He de
clared that he is confident of winning at
the polls and that nothing will prevent
him from running except the denial by
the Appellate and Supreme Courts of the
appeals he is preparing to take for a
new trial of the charge" on which he
stands convicted by a Jury In the
Superior Court.
Another announcement made by the
Mayor was that he will bring mandamus
proceedings against Judge Dunne, if his
sentence is not forthcoming next Mon
day as promised. Until Judgment is
passed, the Mayor cannot carry his ap
peal to the higher courts, and until he
has appealed,, he has little hope of gain
ing admittance to bail.
Expects to "Win Again.
"You may announce," said Schmlts,
that I will be a candidate for re-election
this Fall and that I expect to win.
I have already begun my campaign in a
preliminary way and shall push it tor
ward steadily from this time on. I am
willing to make It without, the aid of the
Rucf organization, whose support I had
in each of the three campaigns since 1901.
Presumably that organization no longer
exists, but its component parts, though
scattered, are as much in existence as
ever.. It is up to me to gather them to
gether and cement them into an organi
zation of my own a task I am prepared
to undertake."
"Then you do not view your indictment
on many charges by the grand Jury and
your conviction of extortion as neces
sarily the end of your political career?
Tou do not feel that the people's con
fidence In you has been forfeited or de
stroyed?" the Mayor was asked.
Object of Political Prosecution.
"I do not." he emphatically replied.
"To the contrary and I believe my in
formation is accurate I feel that it is
weekly becoming plainer to the people o$
San Francisco that I am the object of a
political instead of a moral prosecution,
and have been notoriously deprived of a
fair deal. I have from the very first
maintained my Innocence. I reaffirm It
now with all the consciousness, of truth.
I was convicted by a Jury, 10 of whom
were pledged to find me guilty and two
of whom were gibed and cajoled into
voting guilty. I have - no fear that the
hlBher courts will sustain the verdict.
l-"ntil they do and the last resort the law
ffords for Justice has been exhausted, I
will fight my prosecutors every inch of
the way. I ask no quarter, I want no
mercy; I demand Justice. I could have
avoided all but the most trifling prosecu
tion by merely throwing up my hands
and stepping down and .out. Had I been
guilty, that is what I would logically
have done. But I was innocent and,
knowing full well what a fight would
mean, I chose to fight.
Run on Past Performances.
"The Issue on which the Fall cam
paign will be decided is 'prosperity,'
nothing else. I make that statement
now, and you may call It a prophecy if
you like. Nominations as mere party se
lections will not cut the figure they have
cut in the past. Industrial conditions,
past, present and future, are the center
around which the political fight will be
waged In November. Speeches won't win.
Glad-handing won't win. Chicanery won't
carry the polls. It's past 'performances'
that wIllMJecide.
"Mr. Spreckels and .Mr. Phelan and a
Tew others must spend at least t20.000.000
to restore property of theirs that was
destroyed by the earthquake and fire
and rehabilitate their vast interests. If
they can depress local wages 10 per cent,
they will save $2,000,000. If they can cut
down the local wage scale a third, that
will mean 37,000,000 in their pockets. Isn't
that a game worth fighting for? Doesn't
It, in the minds of these men. Justify
them In using any weapons they can
find or fashion? This, In part. Is why
thoy are determined to discredit aud
oust a labor-union administration and
place themselves in complete control.
The cards are with them now, but the.
Ka me is .long and they will fall. No
body knows better than the working
people of San Francisco that Rudolph
Spreckels never did anything for the
city of his birth except as a means of
doing something for himself. This will
come home to him in November. Good
wages make full pails and fat tills.
Has Brought Prosperity.
"I can say to the working people and
the merchants and the shopkeepers of
San Francisco: This city has been
more prosperous under my Mayorship
than it ever was under Mr. Fhelan's; a
Itreat deal more prosperous. You pros
pered more in my first administration
than you had prospered before. In my
second term things were still better. In
my third, and until the disaster of
April swept the city, there was more
and more general prosperity in San
Francisco than In any other city of Its
size anywhere. You are beginning
now, a year or 18 months after the
fire, to get on your feet. Do you want
prosperity to continue or do you want
to change back to conditions that pre
vailed before you elected a labor union
Mayor?
"I am confident what their answer
will be. The people know whom to
vote for. They will vote 'on their own
figures." I am willing to rely on that,
and I ask no more than that."
The Mayor was asked: "How do you
stand now with the unions and with the
union people?" He said:
No Chance for Langdon.
"If my Information Is correct, and I
am confident It is. I have lost no al
legiance there. In 1901 I was elected
hy 21.003 votes; In 1908 by 26.000 and
the last time by 42,000. It would be
rash to forecast at this time the fig
ures for this Fall, but I expect to win
a victory that will be decisive. District
Attorney Langdon, I am told, is pre
paring for the campaign of his life for
re-election. That Is the kind of cam
paign he will have to make. But In
my estimation it won't bo a "fight" at
all. He has no chance to win. He will
find, among other things, that It la one
thing to be nominated and another to
be elected. By the methods they have
chosen to adopt In the popularly called
bribery-graft prosecutions, Mr. Spreck
els, Mr. Heney, Mr. Langdon and their
political associates have opened the
eyes of the thinking people of this
city. They have destroyed in advance
the very confidence they will plead for
on the stump this Fall.
Car Strike an Issue.
Schmitz was asked if he did not fear
as a campaign issue his failure to bring
about a settlement of the streetcar
strike. .
"That will undoubtedly be made an
issue," he replied, "and one I shall have
to meet: but I feel I can meet it squarely.
This strike should not have been called.
I think that la realized now by the lead
ers, whom I blame for it." Had conditions
surrounding me been different I might
have succeeded in bringing about a set
tlement. As It was, the circumstances
of my prosecution and the heavy duties.
Incident to last year's disaster took up
my time so fully that my hands were
tied. .But my Information Is that. In
stead of suffering politically for this, I
have more firmly than ever the confi
dence of the union people. And I will
say that nothing will prevent me from
going before the people this Fall for re
election except a final denial by the
higher courts of my appeal from the con
viction in Judge Dunne's court. Such a
denial, of course, would be an actual
conviction and would end my political
plans.
Will Fight All Delays.
"Reading between the lines' of the
statement lately given out by District
Attorney Langdon," continued the Mayor,
I believe I see a determination on his
part to have my sentence ,deferrred until
I have been tried on the other four ex
tortion counts. I will say this: If I am
not sentenced next Monday, July S, as
expressly agreed by the court and the
prosecution, I will bring mandamus pro
ceedings against Judge Dunne to compel
him to sentence me. I do not propose,
if there Is a remedy under the law, to
allow the prosecution and a subservient
Judge to deprive me -of my right of ap
peal and to keep me a prisoner indefinite
ly in the County Jail. Such an outrage
ous perversion of Justice would no doubt
suit their purpose exactly and would be
precisely In line with the high-handed
methods they have thus far pursued.
"But I will fight that, and I will fight
ouster, and I will fight any attempt they
may make to flace a man of their own
choosing In the Mayor's chair. It ap
pears that the week gained by them by
trick and connivance, in which to mair.
up their widely different minds on a
successor to me Is availing little, for they
admit they cannot agree."
Municipal Ownership Plans.
Referring to bin v(n .v.-
the budget of 3720,000 for the munici
palization of the Gearytreet road, the
Mayor said:
I am heartllv in ann, wk .- ,

Item In the budget was folly. The Geary

What San Francisco Needs.
"Then what about our streets? The bud
get carries no appropriation for their res
toration. Isn't it of immeasurably greater
importance to San Francisco at this time
that Its streets be rebuilt, or at least
fixed up, than that we acquire a street
railway line? That ought to be apparent
to the dullest mind.
"What San Francisco urgently needs is
a bond issue of 150,000,000 for the complete
rebuilding of the sewer system, the restor
ation of the streets, and the erection and
repair of publio buildings. Such an Issue
could be made without exceeding the
local bonded Indebtedness allowed by the
charter. I confess It would be difficult
ln the present conditions pertaining here
to float such a debt, but that amount of
money must be available during the next
two years, if San Francisco Is to be mu
nicipally restored. Should the task of
raising It be undertaken, we will be

GRAND JCKY POWERS GREAT
Compared to Czar by Lawyer Who
Wants Halsey Set Free.-
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, "There Is
no Institution on earth of such unlimited
powers as our grand Jury," said Bert
Schlesinger, when argument on the mo
tion to eet aside the Indictments found
against his client, T. V. Halsey, was re
sumed before Judge Dunne this morning.
"The power of the Czar has Its limits,
but the grand Jury has none." Mr.
Schlesinger declared that grand Jury
work is done ln secrecy, for which there
is no occasion, and there Is no redress
for one unjustly accused unless It be to
set aside the Indictment.
Halsey was lif court for a short time,
but left when the argument began.
Mr. Schlesinger then addressed himself
chiefly to the lack of evidence ln the
transcript, amounting to anything like
corroboration.
In reply to the argument of Mr. Schles
inger that there is no corroborative evi
dence Mr. Cobb pointed out that he was
citing a long line of New York decisions
which have never been accepted ln the
Federal Court or any other Jurisdiction.
William Penn Humbpreys then ad
dressed the court "upon the invalidity of
the grand Jury. Mr. Johnson replied
that this question had been threshed out
ln the Ruef case and that he did not
care to waste the time of the court in
reading the citations again. Thereupon
the motion was submitted and an ad
journment was taken until Friday, July
6, when "a decision is expected.
DINAN WITHDRAWS CHARGE
Sewall's Decision Prevents Prosecu
tion of Captain. Moonejv
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2. Chief of
Polioe Dlnan has withdrawn the
charges upon which he hoped to se
cure the dismissal of Police Captain
John Mooney. At the meeting of the
Police Commission this afternoon,
Dlnan explained that under the ruling
of Superior Judge Sewall It would be
impossible to proceed further with the
trial of the accused captain on the
complaint as it was drawn. This being-
clear to the commission, the accu
sation was dismissed without a dis
senting vote.
A LuCKYjARRIVAL.
By the arrival at Columbia Dock No. 1
today of the British ship, "Dalgonar," a
threatened cement famine has been for a
time averted. This lucky ship has ln
her hold 16,000 barrels of the celebrated
"Germanla" cement, consigned to the
Importers, Nottingham & Co.
Germanla cement has been used, in
government, municipal and other large
and important works for many years,
and has always proved reliable. The
arrival of this cargo will be welcomed
by many contractors" who have been
waiting for It, in order to carry on im
portant work already started.

FEDERATION IS FAITHFUL
Continues Moyer, Hay-wood and
Ktmpkins ln Office.
DENVER, July 2. Charles H. Moyer
was retained as president and William D.
Haywood as secretary-treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners by the
Federation Convention today, although
they are Imprisoned ln Idaho on the
charge of complicity in the murder of
ex-Governor Steunenberg". As the con
stitution of the Federation forbids the
election to these positions of members
not ln attendance at the convention, the
election of president and secretary-treasurer
was passed by general consent, no
nominations being made for these offices
and under the constitution, the Incum
bents hold over until their successors are
chosen: W. E. Mahoney waa re-elected
vice-president, the vote being Mahoney,
213 2-3; Joseph Shannon, of Butte, Mont.,
112; J. C. Williams, Grass Valley, Cal., 32.
Robert Randall, of Goldfield, Nev., was
elected member of the executive board
for District No. 1, receiving 811 votes to
124 for Marian W. Moore, of McCabe,
Aria. Mr. Randall was read out of the
United Mlneworkers at Indianapolis two
years ago for preferring charges against
President John Mitchell and offering to
prove that Mr. Mitchell was a traitor.
He was not permitted to state his case.
He was a National delegate from Dietz,
Wyo.. and since then has been actively
affiliated with the Western Federation
of Miners as a gold miner.
I W. Callahan, of Index. Wash., was
elected . alternate member of the board,
district No. 2. to serve in tha absence of
Jack Slmpklns, who disappeared after
the murder of Governor Steunenberg,
and who was continued in office in the
same manner as the president and secretary-treasurer.
Two hundred and forty
three votes were cast for Callahan and
113 for Joseph Hutchinson, of Burke,
Idaho.
The convention adopted the report of
the special committee on Instructions to
the delegates to be sent to a convention
to be held at Chioago October 1 next
for the purpose of forming a new Na
tional industrial labor union, which is
intended to take an active part in poll
tics and elections. The Brewery Work
ers' Union, the United Mlneworkers of
America and such other unions as desire
to join ln the movement may be invited
to send delegates to the Chicago conven
tion. Seven delegates were chosen to repre
sent tha Federation at Chicago October
X. They. are Charles H. Moyer, William
I. Haywod, J. D. Cannon, Ed. O'Bryat,
William D. Wilson, William Will and J.
T. Lewis.
The delegates . were instructed to use
every endeavor to have the new organi
zation adopt a constitution Incorporating
provisions to maintain departmental au
tonomy, a referendum vote, the election
of officers from the floor of conventions,
subject to membership approval; that the
organization shall be an association of
industrial unions. Including all the wage
workers of the world. -
The delegation was also Instructed that
It is not to support for office any former
official of either faction of the Industrial
Workers of the World.
Thomas Shannon, a member of Its body,
has been wantonly slain by Barney Han
Ion, representatives of the Jardina Min
ei s' Union arrived In , Helena today and
secured the services of the leading firm
of lawyers to assist ln the prosecution.
A very bitter feeling has prevailed for
some time in the district and more or less
sanguinary trouble has occurred.

EXTENDING ICEMEN'S STRIKE
Drivers Cut Off Whole City's Supply.
Hospitals Alone Exempt.
NEW YORK, July 2. With the view of
creating an ice famine and thereby forc
ing the American Ice Company to accede
to the demands of Its striking drivers,
the leaders of the union today organized
the drivers ln the northern part of Man
hattan, and hope to have them out on
strike by the end of the week. Thus far
the strike has affected only the down
town section of the city below Thirty
fourth street. The strikers say that the
foremen at the Ice stations have stopped
work, and when all the drivers are or
ganized and called out an ice famine will
speedily follow.
The ice company Is importing scores of
strikebreakers from Philadelphia, Boston
and Baltimore, but the deliveries of ice
in the section, of the city below Thirty
fourth street are practically at a stand
still. Both sides claimed victory today.
In Brooklyn conditions are practically
unchanged.- Hospitals and public institu
tions are being served by the Ice com
pany without molestation by the strikers.
while the Independent companies are
