SCHMIT2 IS GUILTY.
Jury Agree That San Franclso Mayor
Extorted Money.
San Francisco, June 14. A jury of
12 of hie notrs has declared Mayor ,
F.ugene K. SchmiU guilty of the crime
of extortion as chained against him by
the Oliver grand jury.
The jury was out just one hevir and
thitty-tie minutes. It elected Charles
K. Cnpp foreman and at oneo proceeded
to nn infotnml ballot. This was east
vet bally and stood 11 for conviction
and one for aopiittal. Mr. Hums, a
shoemaker, cast the dissenting vote.
Then the 12 men beian a discussion of
the evidence, which lasted for nearly
an hour. At the end of that time the
first formal ballot was cast. It was a
written Iwllot and was unanimous for
conviction. The jurymen issued this
statement to the Associated Press 1m
mediattly after their dismissal by the
court .
The mayor received the verdict quiet
ly and without emotion. Ho sat at the
table talking with his counsel, while a
few loyal friends came up and sluxik
him by the hand. Many of the city
employes, appointees of Schtnitz, were
present and they showed the greatest
surprise and consternation.
Assistant District Attorney Heney,
who has borne the brunt of the hit tie
for the prosecution, was not in the
courtroom when the verdict was
brought in. Kven the prosecution did
not expect such a quick decision by the
jury, and was unprepared for it. There
were no signs of jubilation when the
result of the trial was known among
the forces of the prosecution. They
took their victory quietly.
Among the crowd were heard expres
sions of satisfaction that justice had
been done, but they were mingled with
words of regret that Schtnitz, who had
played such a gallant part during the
tire and earthquake, had succumbed to
the influence that had brought about
his conviction of felony. Sentence will
be pronounced June 27.
MAY HAVE DISPUTE AT HAGUE.
Japanese Scheme Of Aggression Op
posed by America.
New York. June 14. A Vienna dis
patch to the Herald quotes a delegate
to The Hague conference, said to be the
representative of a great power, as de
claring that Janan is to hurl a bomb
into the conference by bringing forward
the ouestion of rirht of a conquerer to
annex territory subjugated with all that
is upon it.
This will be warmly denied by both
Russia and the United States, the
Herald's informant is quoted as saying.
The Russians have large private prop
erties in Manchuria, and the United
States considerable mining and other
interests In Corea. Of such interests
Japan proposes to deprive them. At all
events, that is to be the object of her
proposition.
The United States proposes to bring
a motion diametrically opposed tc that
of Japan, and this, in view of the pres
ent existing controversy between Japan
and America, it is easy to see has all
the makings of a first-class internation
al row.

teach Harris, seven miles front Teet

he but seven tulles of staging In t ho
trip to this city.
A regular train service over the
new rail road will he established

pleted to Orr's Meadows. The road
Is being built lu a substantial man
ner, which gives assurance that it
will one day bo used as the main
line of the Southern Pacific between
Portland and Sacramento.

not reach Klamath Kails until the

siderable time to complete the dike
across the marsh and to construct
the drawbridge across Klamath
river.

neighborhood of $2.75. So far 30
cars have boon shipped out this sea
sou with the expectation that as
many more will he moved before It
is over. This does not Include the
number of crates shipped by express,
which has reached about S.000. The
total number of cars shipped last
year was 2S, so that although the
crop is not as large as expected It Is
a better one than that of 1906. Grow
ers now look for tt to reach fin, 000
crates against 75.000 or SO, 000,
which was predicted early in the sea

SCHMITZ IN A TRAP.
Plays Into Heney's Hands by Opening
Wy for Ruef.
San KranclHCit, Juno 12,- What
looked like n field day for Mayor
Schtnitz In his trial for extortion,
was transformed by a sudden coup
of Francis J. Honey Into a distinct
vlctorv for the prosecution. With
both Schmltz and Itucf on the stand.
the day was replete with sensations,
but capping nil was the neatly laid
trap Into which the defense made a
precipitous fall. The trap was care
fully latil, even to the point where
the Mayor himself unknowingly
sprung In.
When Mr. Heney announced that
Hie 1 1 1-1 1 -. . i 1 1 1 Inn had completed Its
case, the defense, thinking that the
danger from Itilef hail passed, de
cided to put Schmlt. on the stand.
The Mayor, accordingly, appeared in
his own behalf and, regarding Itiof
as no longer a menace, rushed ahead
with his denials. He reached the
point on cross-examlnt Ion where Mr.
Heney asked hint If lie had received
any or t lie money paid in Hint ny
the French restaurants, anil, despite
the warnings from his own attorney,
Schmlt . innswerod In ttte negative.
In so doing he played completely
Into the hands of the prosecution,
not only by laying a basis for the
Introduction of the testimony of
Knot lu rebuttal, but by passing til"
entire extortion up to Ituef In such
a manner that the captive bom will
eagerly refute the testimony by de
daring that he paid half the money,
or $-foo, to Schmlt..
Both Mr. Heney and Mr. Burns
were confident last night, and well
satisfied with the turn of events.
"Wo look for conviction," said
Mr. Heney. "'n believe we have
proved our case."

'Hie Hague, June 15. With the n p

the eve of the original conference of

Hubject of genoral comment. lHtl'.t,
although less than ball the present-

thete was a vision of diMiriiiami-nt and
the banishment of the curse of wiir

asm of tiu-ii upon a holy mission. Yi-t
th lee mouths later this ilrcnut doled
and nothing beyond the adoption of a
pious vov remained of the avowed ob
ject of the conference.
The swers favi ring a diciiMidon of a

unless it is brought up, the whole Idea
