in Libel Suits.
San Francisco, March 28. In n
statement tcdiy to the Associated Press,
Mayor Schmitz denies the truth of
ctiarges pubiisneu in the local papers
to tho effect that the prosecution has
abundant evidence that Schmitz profit
ed to the extent of not less than $002,-
000 from participation In tho boodling
opeiations now being investigated by
the grand jury.
"Theeo charges," (aid the mayor,
"are maliciously false, and as soon as
1 am afforded tho legal opportunity, I
shall prove them to bo so.'' After de
claring that he is anxious for a speedy
trial, ho says:
"It Is notoriously unfair that I
should be brought to trial before any
Judgo in this city and county," all of
whom ho alleges to bo biased, and de
clare I it is outrageous that ho should
bo kept "for months under this foul
cloud with the prospect that the trial
will be delayed for another foui
months."
The mayor says this is no time for
libel suits, hut, when he bos been tried
and Judged by a Jury, he will give no
quarter.

Just Railroad Dispute.
Chicago, March 29. Government in

Uie West. In response to tho aptical
ot the mllioau managers, Chairman
Knapp, of the Interstate Commerc com
mission, and Commlssionei of Labor
Nelll will nrrivo in Chicago Saturday
morning and offer mediation in thu
controversy. Failing to adjust the
matter in a conciliatory manner, they
will endeavor to bring about arbitra
tion under tho provisions of tho Krd
mann law.
Tho labor chiefs will awnlt tho at-
rival of the government officials before
ordering a strike. If the good offices
of .Mr. Knapp and Mr. rtclll result in
bringing greater concessions tc the em
ployes than have yet been off (red, tho
striko may be averted. Tho employes.
however, say they will not accept arbi
tration and today again declared their
position that nothing short of greater
concessions from the railroads will pro
vent them from walking out.
President Itoosevoll has been follow
ing closely the developments in the sit
uation here and Messrs. Knapp and
Neill will undertake thu delicate wcrk
Imposed on them by law with full con
sciousness that tho president Is ex
treme!) solicitous that all differences
be settled by arbitration.
Tho general managers said that no
attempt would bo made to oporato
