According to the appellate judges , the compelling of the French rostau- rants to pay big "fees" to Ituuf was I not a crime, even though Kuef dlvld ! ed tho "fees" with the mayor. After discussing the point the court reverses the judgment malnst Schmilz on the ground that no act , constituting a crime had been pr.iveil against him. Kuef, who pleaded guil ty to extorting money from the ; French restaurants, Is therefore ' equally guiltless. ; The decision wipes out the French ; restaurant cases and the pending charges of extortion against Sclimit. land Kuef must be dismissed. Hoth are entitled to a release on bull nit ' til such a time as tho jury finds them guilty of accepting bribes from cor i ponitions. Owing to the number of cases against them, hall, fixed at ! $10,000 In each case, will amount to j an enormous figure. I will probably be appealed there again, nlthough the Jury was out only ten minutes. ' It was admitted that Myer made , his contract under a void lease, nnd i for that reasoif the buyers tried to ; evade payment. The point Involved was whether a sub-lessee could re cover for money expended in making a crop, when his title to the use of the laud was in question. It Is a case that has attracted a great deal of at tention among hop growers and buyers. I,IVKSI,EY COMPANY ! l.OSKS CASK AGAIN7 ECGEXE E. SCHMITZ. I San Francisco, Jan. 9.

In answer to numerous criticisms that have been made upon the release of A. J. llem bree from the penetentlary, Govern or Chumberlnln asserts that there is ju grave doubt of Ilembree's guilt of j the murder of his wife and daughter and that whether there was doubt or j not, the Governor Is not responsible , for the release. Hembree was turn j ed loose upon parole under provis I Ions of the parole law enacted by i tho Legislature of 190S. ! "That statute leaves me no discre : tlon If the prisoner's conduct in the penitentiary has been good," said the 1 Governor today. "His conduct In 1 prison Is all I have a right to take into consideration In determining Whether to grant a parole. If that Is an unwise regulation, tho fault lies with the law. nnd not with me."
