MAYOR'S STRONG BOX
IN FORMER RESIDENCE
Casket in Which He Kept
Boodle Unearthed by
Agent Burns
HIDDEN UNDER BED

Old Schmitz Abode and
Bribers' Rendezvous

the bed until It covered his hiding:
place, and laid himself down to dream
of days to come and loot ungatbered.
Ruef learned yesterday afternoon of
\u25a0the discovery of the casket. He seemed
cmusefi, and after he had his laugh he
remarked, sarcastically, "Schmlts was
* damned fool to leave things that
•way."
The secrets of the Mayor's old home
were bared to the world by Detective
tWilllam J. Burns. No. sooner had he
completed his negotiations with the
present lessee and occupant of the big
white house and grained possession of
a big copper key than he went straight
to a corner of the room in which the
;Mayor used to sleep, ripped up the car
.pet, thrust down the copper key, and
In a moment the plush-lined casket was
exposed to view. It was empty, but
'Burns knows Schmitz and was not dis
appointed. All he wanted was evidence
of the casket's existence.
Burns began to talk business with F.
A. Reiss, the lessee of the house, about
.the first of the week. He wanted
: 3leiss. who takes in boarders and
lodgers, to add a detective, an elisor, a
.prisoner and six guards to his list of
t guests. Nothing came of the first
talk, except that A. F. Lawton. who
bought the house from his friend, the
.Mayor, two years ago, heard of the
. proposed arrangement sfnd entered a
.protest. He declared that Reiss could
not under the terms of his lease put
the place to such use. Burns and
nisor Blggy examined the document
.\u25a0by. which Reiss held possession and
found that It contained nothing which
would forbid the taking in of peace
.officers and prisoners as boarders and
"lodgers. They so informed Reiss, and
.the deal was closed "Wednesday after
aoon.
OWNER IV A IXAUIS
Lawton did not learn of the lessee's
action until yesterday morning after
illuef bad been removed to his new
prison quarters. The news sent bim
into a rage, and he demanded that the
new guests be immediately ejected.
Burns merely laughed, and Elisor Blg
py expressed a willingness to go to
law to settle the point, but no one was
willing' to be ejected except Ruef, and
lie would move only on the condition
that no one follow him out. The in
dications are that the Schmitz home
will be Ruefs prison for some time to
come. Reiss has already accepted a
month's rent and is said to be well sat
isfied with the present arrangement.
The finding of the casket was evi
dently no surprise to Ruef. Before he
knew that Burns had learned the secret
lie was asked bow he liked his sew
quarters, and. had replied. '1 know this
"place well." Later, when be found. out
what a search of the Mayor's former
sleeping-room had revealed, his manner
-nd his sarcastic remark gave evidence
that he had told the truth.
CASKET PBOBABLT FILLED
The door In the floor above the cask
et Is thirty Inches long and fourteen
inches wide. These, however, are not
•the dimensions of the casket, for it is
eight Inches longer than the opening,
extending under the solid portion of the
-lloor. The receptacle is sixteen inches
deep, making it sufficiently capacious
to satisfy even John D. Rockefeller.
Whether Mayor Schmitz ever had it
billed is not known, but the prosecution
thinks tbat It was bulging at the sides
just about the time Schmitz began to
build his new mansion.
There are no caskets in the <Jen, but
this is explained by the fact that con
federates of the Mayor, as well as
bribe bearers, took advantage of the
alley door. When In use the den was
illuminated by eig-ht powerful electric
liplits, thus protecting the Mayor
against soulless corporations and little
rascals not averse to ridding thexn
\u25a0 selves now and then of a piece of bad
money. Off the den and under the stairs
Is a closet, with shelves quite large
enough to hold numerous baskets of
wine, of the kind that Hilbert Brothers
frequently sent to the Mayor with their
' compliments. As the wine did not cost
him anything Schmitz was no doubt
generous with It, and the rogues who
-riilled upon him went away with a good

District Attorney Brown Says
Evidence Makes Duty Clear
As Soon as Pembroke Case Is
Ended He Will Take Action
The facts which I now have in my possession would warrant no other
course of action than the most searching investigation of all the incidents
connected with the granting of the Home Telephone Company franchise in
Oakland. I am convinced from the information I have in my possession
that it is my duty as the public prosecutor of the county to make a vigorous
investigation in regard to the conduct of public officials of this city in their
dealings with the telephone companies." — Statement of District Attorney
Brown of.Alameda County. '
"If there has been bribery, let us know it as soon as possible that the
guilty may be brought to book and exposed." — Statement of Mayor Mott
of Oakland.
Upheavals in mnrac/pal politics from Seattle to San Diego have followed
the exposures in San Francisco of the boodling operations of the Pacific States
and the Home Telephone companies. The evidence presented to the Grand
Jury has shorvn that in several of the cities of the Pacific Coast there v>as
the same activity on both sides on the franchise fight Theodore V. Halsey
of the Pacific Slates Company and Abram K. Detoiler' of the Home, both
of Tt>hom have been indicted for bribing Supervisors, played their game^ in
other cities as veil as in San Francisco. Portland has begun an investigation,
and last night District Attorney Everett Broxpn of Alameda announced that
Francis J. Heney and William J. Bams had supplied him with enough evi
dence to warrant a most searching examination of conditions in Oakland.
Halsey and Detwiler were particularly busy in Oakland during the
franchise fight Halsey, whose specialty was confidential talk over a bottle
of wine at a French dinner, outdid himself across the bay. He not only gave
dinners, but he paid part of the expense of a trip which some of the Cbuncilmen
took to Los Angeles to study conditions there.
Halsey and Detwiler operated all along the coast Wherever they have
participated in the franchise fight an investigation will be held.
OAKLAND, March 28. — District At
torney Ev«rett J. Brown has announced
that he has information which war
rants him in commencing a searching
Investigation of the circumstances
which surrounded the granting of the
Home Telephone Company's franchise
by the Oakland City Council. •
This Inquiry will be based upon tes
timony end facts given to the San
Francisco Grand Jury In Its graft in
vestigations. Brown has secured from
Heney and Burns facts which the Ala
meda County official has declared give
him the groundwork for a comprehen
sive probing of all of the incidents which
occurred during the long battle between
the new company to gain Its franchise
and the Pacific States to prevent the
Home Company from gaining lodgment
here.
District Attorney Brown Indicated
tbat he would commence the official
inquiry, which means, as & matter of
course, a Grand Jury search after evi
dence of corruption, just as soon as the
Pembroke trial is off his hands.' Brown
explained that this case had occupied
his dose attention for several days, but
that he should be free by the end of
the week to proceed with- the telephone
franchise matter. The District At
torney refused to throw any light upon
the nature of the Intelligence of. which
he said that he was possessed. He also
declined to announce what course 'will
be taken. His formal statement fol
lows:
BROWN SEES HIS DUTY
"The facts I now -have in my pos
session would warrant no other course
of action than the most searching in
vestigation of all the Incidents con
nected with the recent granting of the
telephone franchise In this city. This
Investigation will be commenced the
moment I am through with the closing
argument In the Pembroke case, and
we expect it to go to the Jury tomor
row. lam convinced from the Informa
tion I have in my possession that it is
my duty as the public prosecutor of the
county to make a vigorous investiga
tion in regard to the conduct of public
officials of this city In their dealings
with the telephone companies. At this
time I do not car* to discuss this mat
ter any further, nor am I prepared at
this time to cay anything as to what
steps will be taken."
The Home Telephone Company was
granted its franchise February 2, 1906,
ths date of approval by Mayor Mott
The decisive vote following a long fight
before the City Council was on the ap
plication of the Home Company for an
ordinance calling for bids for a tele
phone franchise. This ordinance was
passed to print October 2, 1905, by the
following vote:
Ayes— H. T. Burns, ~W. A. Donaldson,
taste on their lips, even though their
pockets were lighter.
LIKE A CHI2VESB BAJTK
According to Abe Ruef the house of
mystery wai built sixteen years ago.
Jeremiah Dineen, friend of Schmitz and
Ruef. was the contractor. Schmitz was
the first occupant, buying the place for
JCSOO. Ruef negotiated the sale and
passed on the title. Dineen did not put
in the plush-lined casket. The wood
of tho door over the casket Is compara
tively new. Furthermore, It is not
painted, and in this way differs from
the rest of the floor. The Inference Is
that the casket was built In the floor
after Schmitz became Mayor and began
to wax opulent.* '
Two years ago Schmitz . sold the
white house to A. F. Lawton for 1111,
000. At that time b« evidently did not
dream of ever being exposed, for the
big copper key of the casket- was
passed over -with the other keys of the
house anA-by Lawton was passed on
to F. A. Reiss, the present lessee.
Friends of Schmlts say that the cas
ket Is only a "Chinese bank," so called
because the Chinese frequently rip up
a few boards In the floor under their
beds to make a hiding place for money.
Their argument Is that burglars do
not move occupied. beds, to search for
hidden treasure. Chief Dlnan likes the
"Chinese bank" Idea, and has been
known to recommend it to people 'who
went to him with reports of robbery.
Detective Burns is not finished with
his Inspection of the Mayor's former
home. He- Intends to sound all the
floors. One casket might be enough
for a Rockefeller, but no Rockefeller
was ever mayor of & great city..

PRESSURE EXERTED
Political and personal pressure was
exerted on both sides throughout the
contest. The Home Company was rep
resented by John G. North and Robert
N. Frick, with former District Attorney
John J. Allen and his law partner, for
mer Chief Deputy District Attorney
Philip M. Walsh. JJtato Senator G. R.
Lukens and former Assemblyman R. H.
E. Espey. now deceased, appeared for
the Pacific States Company. In the open
the fight was a question of the'advan
tages and disadvantages of a competi
tive telephone system.
In the course of the fight the two
telephone companies extended a joint
invitation to the Councllme^ to go to
Los Angeles | and investigate' the dual
system of telephones there in service.
Both of the companies were repre
sented in the trip, which was not at
tended by all of the Councllmen. Those
who went were Hahn, Baccus, Aitken,
McAdam, Fitzgerald, Burns and Pen
dleton. Pendleton went on his own
account and made his Investigations in
dependently.
The night the franchise bid ordi
nance was up for final passage a re
port against it was filed with the
Council, signed by Hahn, Baccus, Ait
ken. McAdam and Fitzgerald. This re
port was the result of their Los An
geles trip. Burns and Pendleton, who
had voted for the Home Telephone
Company from the, start, remained fa
vorable to the new company.
MOTT PLEDGES HIS AfD
Further opposition to the Home Com
pany developed on December 4, 1905,
the night bids were called for' ln the
City Council. The Home people opened
the bidding with a tender of $20,000:
that figure having been .agreed upon
as the minimum offer' the company
should make. E. Delos Magee, repre
senting Dr. Ferdinand Butterfleld, the
latter representing the United States
Independent Telephone, Company, raised
the bid 10 per cent. .Before the,fran
chise had been* finally^ awarded to the
Home Company the purchase price had
gone to $35,000,'p1us printing expenses.
Theodore V. Halsey, the ; Pacific
States "outside" man, was active in the
entertainment of some of Oakland's
legislators while the fight was . on.
Halsey was among the representatives
of the old company who guided the
itinerants on their Southern -California
tour. Halsey' s fight was -td: prevent
the Home Company from . securing a
franchise. The Pacific States wanted
no competitor in this field.' •> \u25a0

Usually they don't mind having their
pictures " taken. In that Glass was
different," but it was a minor matter
and didn't repay .the crowd for its
curiosity.
It took half an hour for Clerk Mar
tin j Welch . to ! read the nine indict
ments : alleging bribery. During the
reading of one and two Glass looked
at a Hebrew text on the wall. While
three and four were recited Glass
looked out the window! During- the
reading of five, six, seven, eight and
nine Glass studied the pattern of the
carpet at his feet.
"Is that your true name,. Louis
Glass?', the, clerk asked at the con
clusion of each of the nine, and the
stenographer's notes show that Glass
replied, "Yes" ; but the stenographer is
trained to catch replies that are scarce
ly audible to the crowd.
"What is your plea, Louis Glass?" :
: The question was asked nine: times, |
and nine times Louis Glass was silent.
His attorney explained that a con
tinuance was dealred, and that Glass
would plead later.
An Indicted man has a right first
to read the stenographic notes which
were taken of the testimony given be
fore the Grand Jury. These notes are
not ready.. Heney explained that the
Grand Jury stenographer was busy
taking other notes.
When Glass has read these notes he
will cay, "Guilty," or "Not guilty." At
present his : Information, on. the point
is imperfect.
A continuance was granted until
April 4, when the defendant will be
called upon again to plead.
