San Francisco^ Jane 18.— A radical
change in the executive branch of San
Francisco’s government is contingent
on developments in the case of Mayor
Schmitz, who is temporarily incapaci
tated by reason of his imprisonment in
the county jail.
The date for the passing of sentence
on Mayor Schmitz fn the extortion cases
on which he has been convicted has
been set for Jane 27.
Prior to that
date he cannot possibly procure bail,
according to the decision of Judge
Donne, bat the law provides that after
judgment has been passed, the matter
of allowing bail is discretionary with
any magistrate having jurisdiction.
Consequently, if judgment is passed on
the date set, Mayor Schmits will have
ground for a new application for bail.

Main Reliance of Haywood Prosecu
tion Is on Conspiracy.
Boise, June 17.—The announcement
mads by the prosecution in the Hay
wood case Saturday that it would have
its testimony in chief concluded by or
on Wednesday next, taken in connection
with the fact that there is to be no oth
er session until Tuesday, has created a
feeling that the state is not going to
present inch a strong case of ooj robo ra
tion as vas anticipated.
The reason
for this feeling ia probably twofold,
that tbe law of conspiracy as laid down
in this state is not fully understood by
tbe public and that the extent to which
the state may ielv upon rebuttal testi
mony is not known.
The law aa laid down in the Corco
ran caw is very hroad and it la under
stood its general principles apply in
this case, bat that fact is not grasped.
For instance, it has been argued by
some of the newspaper writers in their
communications that the state must
corroborate Orchard’s statement that
Haywood w nt him to kill Steonenberg.
