Extra 8osslon to Be Called to Go
Over Tariff.
Washington, March 0. Plana for the
revision of tho tariff have Leon agreed
upon by tho Republican leaders, In
eluding Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon,
Senvtor Revcrldgo and Representatives
rayne, Ualzoll and Sherman, the three
latter boing members of tho Iioubo ways
and means committee, who will frame
the new law.
An extra session of congress will be
iiilled immediately after tho expiration
of tho present congross next spring and
a bill will be drafted reducing some of
tho high schedules in steol and iion
and equalizing others. If the Demo-
i rats aro succesfnl in the national dec
tion noxt fall, President Roosovelt will
all conyress immediately after the re
sult is known, so that the tariff can be
revised by tho Republicans.
Senator lieveridgo, who presented
measure providing for a tariff commls-
lon, had a conference with the presl
dent today. Later he conferred with
Speaker Cannon and Representative
Payne, Dalzell and Sherman. It devel
oped that tho commission plan is not

resolution shall be adopted by tho pres
ent congress directing the secretaries of
state, treasury, agriculture, commerce
and labor and director of the census to
gather such data as will be usoful to
consress in revising tho tariff.
Representative Sherman, with the
approval of Speaker Cannon, is circu
lating a petition among members of the
houso which requests the ways and
means committee to bit during the sum
mer recess for the purpose of gathering
data to aid the membore in framing a
now tariff law. Many signatures have
already been procured and the commit
tee will sit.

Ultimatum
Japan's Minister Presents
to China
Pekic, March 9. Japan's ultimatum
In the care of the Japanese steamship
Tatsu Maru wan presented to the head
of tho Chinese Foreign board today, and
the board has the matter under consid
eration.
The Tatsu Maru was seized off Macao
on February 7 by Chinese custom's
cruisers on the chsrse that her cargo of
arms and ammunition was intended for
Chinese revolutionists, although con
signed to a merchant of that place. The
steamer is now being held at Wham-
poR, on the Canton river.
The irreducible minimum of the
Japanese claims 1b the restoration of
the steamer, as well as of her cargo,
and L o payment of a full indemnity.
Action is demanded nithn a "reasona
ble time." In caee of default or post
ponement, Japan, according to the
terms of her ultimatum, will "take
mmediate action."
Japan expects a reply by tomorrow.
She will not tolerate China's offer to
nveetigate the case. She insists upon
an apoltgy for the hauling down of the
Japanese flag on the Tatsu Mara and
fbe will not accept mediation, aflirm-
ng that Uhina ib in error and that the
fust are incontrovertible.

SCHMITZ WINS OUT
Supreme Court Finds Fatal De
fects In Indictment.
HUB'S PLEA ALSO NULLIFIED
8even Judges Unanimous in Holding
That Facts 8tated Do Not
Constitute Crime.
San Francisco, March 10. The Su
preme court yesterday handed down a
decision denying the application of tho
prosecution in the San Francisco brib-ory-gralt
cases for a rehearing alter a
decision by the District court of Ap
peals in the case of ex-Mayor Eugene
E. Schmitz. convicted of extortion in
the French restaurant cases. Without
a qiesenting vote among the seven
justices, the court tus'ained the appel
late court in its decision that the in
dictment upon which Schmitz was con
victed was defective in that' it did not
aver that bchmitz was mayor: that
Ruef, his co-defendant, was a political
boss practically in control if the city;
that as such they were in a position to
exercise power and undue influence
over the police commissioners, and that
it did not show that Schmitz resorted
to unlawful means in threatening to
have liquor licenses withheld.
"The decision demonstrates," said
ex-Mayor Schimtz. "that the higheet
court in tho etato believes what I have
always claimed, that I was removed
from office and railroaded to prison."
'The contention of the respondent
that the appeal was prematurely
taken," saya the Supreme court, ""baa
no merit. The court is unanimous in
the opinion that the District court of
Appeals was correct in its conclusion
that the indictment was insufficient in
that it did not show that the injury to
the property threatened by the defend
ant was an 'unlawful injury.' "
This decision practically nullifies
Ruef 'a plea ol guilty to the same charge,
nvalidatea the remaining four extor
tion indictments against the ex-mayor
and Ruef, and will enable Schmitz to
gain his liberty on bail after eight
months' confinement in the county jail.
