Supervisors May Reorganize the
City Government Today
Acting Under the Big Stick They Will
Become Ardent Reformers
When, the supervisors meet today it
is expected that the preliminary steps
•will be taken to reorganize the city
government While It may not be
deemed advisable to read Mayor
Schmitz out of his office today, action
will be taken which will lay the foun
dation for such a step. It is recog
nized by the graft prosecutors that II
the mayor is permitted to transact offi
cial business at the county jail he. will
be able 'to' make the claim that he Vs
as well able to perform the duties of
his office in prison as any other place.
For this reason the prosecutors- will
endeavor to have the supervisors act as
foon as It can legally be done.
The entire situation Is without pre
cedent In American Jurisprudence, and
District Attorney Langdon desires to
make sure of his ground before acting.
Should the supervisors elect a tem
porary mayor and Schmitz later gain his
freedom through bail, a situation more
complicated than the present one would
arise, for the city would then have two
mayors,' w~hile it at present hae none.
It is part of the program that Su
pervisor Gallagher shall be made act
ing nlayor. Gallagher does not desire
the place* but he will not be consulted
in th<? matter. He will have the honor
thrust upon him. With the obedient
supervisors in control one of the first
eteps will 'be the reorganization of the
police department, and this will be fol
lowed by changes in the board of
works. It will be Impossible to effect
such a reorganization without whole
sale dismissals. In order to oust Chief
of Police Dinan it will be necessary to
remove the present police commisßion-

JAIL TO CHEER SCHMITZ
Mayor Passes Day Alone
Save for the Presence of
the Gnards
Continued from P«kc 1, Column 5
Chief Jailer Edward Kerwin asserted
yesterday that there was no thought
of Sclunitz' removal from this jail vo
another and that he was being treated
the same as any other prisoner. De
spite this, the orders of Sheriff O'Nell
have paved the way for a different
style ,of treatment in his particular
case from that usually in vogue, and
as a consequence his guards have
adopted something of the attitude of
genial hosts in their treatment of him.
But? while Schmitz' room is better
than the average in 'the Jail, it 19
nevertheless a prison house. It is as
plainly furnished as a room in an
army :.barracks and much resembles
one," for the bars at the win
dows. It is on the second floor of the
jail apd within sound of the voices of
the criminals confined in the larger
quarters. jf+*a.
Schmitz has not *show»iany sign «£
breaking down under" the 'lndignity or
confinement, except that he has grown
morose and the lines drawn by; .the
mental strain to which he has 'been
subjected are becomlng-^eepiy set in
his fake. He slept well Saturday nighr,
arose ..Elightly earlier than usual yes
terday morning and took his exercise
in the Jail corridors before the ma
jorityof the prisoners were awake.
IRISH ATTACKS UNIONS
Asserts That They Would Re-Elect
Schmitz if Given Opportunity
FRESNO, June 16. — "If Schmitz were
again -nominated for mayor, .with all
that ts known of him, the labor. union,
vote of San Francisco would re-elect
him." said John P. Irish here yesterday.
IrlsV Is here on a visit and has talkee
freely, of conditions in San Francisco.
The city government of San Francisco
before the recent upheaval he charac
terized as a creature of the unions and
their 'leader. \u25a0"•.'.
"The San Francisco government,"
said Irish, "was a union labor gdVern
raent . It adopted labor union methods
and' Abe Ruef was the walking delegate
of the- labor union government. Labor
control anywhere means the utter «-x
tinction of public moral sense. The
laboring classes of. the country are un
touched by any moral consideration of
any kind. While the recent verdict
was the sentiment of the better classes
of the city. Its present meaning Is lost
in the' significance as a passing phase
of the' great struggle going on between
the laboring: class and other citizens."
AUTHOR OF "STOLEN
STORY M " VISITS CITY
Jesse Lynch Williams and Ernest
Peixotto En Route to the Bo-
hemian Club Jinks
Jesse Lynch Williams, the play
wright and story writer, arrived in San
Francisco from New York yesterday in
. the company of Ernest Peixotto, the
painter, who Is making his first ap
pearance in San Francisco 'for*, five*
• years.'
Wllljams' chief motive in making this
trip to California Is to attend the mid
summer Jinks of the Bohemian club
and at the same time to look on at
the present shaken state of San Fran
cisco's social life and see what dra
matic material he may find.
"The Stolen Story," as it first ap
peared In fiction form and then as a
play, has largely made Williams' fame.
This Is a story of the New York news
paper world, of which Wllliamslearned
at first hand as a reporter on' Park row.
*'I am glad you have come," Williams
said, when disturbed at his work at
the Fairmont yesterday afternon. "I
have a couple of young lovers--h i cre who
are bound to square thing's Up and get
together several thousand words sooner
than they should.
"I have had difficulty keeping it In
my mind that I am in an American city.
I have felt all day as if I were on
the continent, and every time a waiter
has approached me I have begun to
form "French phrases for him. As I
sat in my room and looked at ' the
opalescent lights on the hills across the
bay I; could easily have believed, that
I was»in Naples." »><
SAYS HE WAS MALTREATED
Roland J. Bccsey, an attorney,' comi
plained Saturday night that he was as
saulted and arrested by. Policeman
Jenkins near the ferry when he-asked
the latter to arrest two men who -had
been* trying to pick his pockets. Becsey
says that he was locked '.up'jln.'the'city
prison" and later, reljeased and/ warned
not tojsay anything about his case.* He
went to' t^ie central emergency hospital,"
where hhr badly cut lip was sewed up.
He says'; that Policeman Jenkins ln-_
flicted th* '.wound and ".oromiijea'jtqi^ file

crs, Hagerty. Finn and Wallen, who
have heard the cry 'against Dinan for
several months, but have refused to act.
Again, in order to effect the desired
changes In the works board. It will be
necessary to make a complete change
In Its membership, and this means that
In the new order "of things Duffey,
Aigeltlnger and Egan will find no place.
In order, to. cut the stanch Schmitz
timber which has attempted to block
the efforts of the prosecution out of the
administration It will be necessary to
ask for the resignation of Fire Com
missioner 80110, who, William" J. Burns
charges, has £een active in attendance
upon the Jury which tried the mayor.
Burns accused 80110 of. having visited
the St. Francis hotel, where the Jury
was quartered, for. no good purpose.
It will tnus be seennhat In order to
make those changes -. which the .prose
cutors have declared to be absolutely
necessary before • any genuine reform
can: be accomplished, a number of heads
must be lopped off.
Since the conviction of Schmitz there
ba£ been genuine alarm among those
officials who hold their jobs by grace
of the mayor's favor." .While it will be
\u25banecessary to sweep out- of. office a
large number of Schmitz' appointees, no
one will be disturbed who has attended
to his duties. • ' . . . \u25a0
' No change has been made, in the plan
announced on Friday* to replace one of
the supervisors by a prominent citi
zen and then elect this cltisen to the
position of- acting mayor, from which
Gallagher will obediently withdraw.
The name of the prominent citizen has
not been made public .
HAYWOOD CASE JURORS

is rumored that the whereabouts of
Simpkins Is known and that he will be
produced as, a witness at the, proper
time.' Counsel for the defense 1 and
prosecution do not confirm the report
It is probable that the case. In direct,
for the state will rest by the end of this
week. Counsel say that it will take at
least until Friday next to conclude.
AdarAs may be called to the stand \n a
few days, but this- is not certain. A
strong effort will be made to get
Adams' repudiated confession before
the Jury, and will, of course, be fought
vigorously by the defense. Lawyers
who know the history of the prosecur
tion'of Adams and his confession ex
press doubt as to the possibility of
getting the confession in.
On Tuesday the state will offer in
evidence copies of certain printed ar
ticles over Haywood's signature show

Orchard swore. that he was employed
to. kill J udge Goddard and 'Judge:Gab
bert of the supreme court and that' he
did attempt to kill them.' The evidence
in further/, corroboratlon: of Orchard's
story of his attempts on the life of
Fred Bradley of San Francisco is said
to be forthcoming and will be intro
duced this week. The most essential
of these are the copies of the telegrams
which Orchard swore he received from
"Pat"- Bone," or Pettlbone.' These, he
said,-* were received by him over the
Postal telegraph company, and that sev
eral sums of money were r sent to him
during the months he remained in San
Francisco waiting his opportunity-
The defense has already announced
that they .will have between 160 and 200
witnesses. Subpenas have not-been
asked for these- and it is therefore
probable that it 'will be shown that
they have come. forward voluntarily to
testify for Haywood. That this will
be done is almost certain from the
questions asked the state's witnesses
to show, that " they were brought : to
Boise on subpenas In most instances
and served by the ; Plnkertons and that
many of them were advanced money
by the Pinkerton officers. The wit
nesses, it Is understood, will' be chiefly
in contradiction of Orchard by alibi as
to the whereabouts ' of Haywood or
Moyer or Pettibone and .even* of-Or
chard himself. • d^SSBI
Both sides were busy. today In prep
aration for the continuance •of - the
struggle. Hay wood was visited at the
courthouse by his relatives and coun
sel and Orchard was taken' from i the
penitentiary, to Hawley*s office during
the afternoon. For some time he was
in consultation with counsel for the
state. Orchard may go on the stand
again this week. ,

THE * SAN FRA^UI^GO- GAlxDr
CLERGYMEN SPEAK OF
CONVICTION OF SCHMITZ
Laud the Work Done to Rid
City of Bribe Givers
and Receivers '
PASTOR FLAYS RUEF
Dr. George C. Adams^Says
That Fallen Boss Is
rr: Meanest in Lot
The conviction "of. ."! Mayor Schmltz
was referred to yesterday In the pulpits
of local churches as heralding areturn
to' civic purity and; presaging the res
toration- of the confidence of the world
In Ban Francisco. It ;: was "the- ex
pressed opinion of the majority of the
clergymen, however, that the 1 work of
the prosecution had : only \ begun and
that more convictions must be secured
before the shackles of graft will have
been broken' finally and decisively. .
Dr. George C. Adams, D. D. ! , pastor
of the First Congregational" church in
Post street, delivered a forcible ser
mon in the, morning on the subject,
"What Is : the" Matter with'fthe .City?"
In which he compared , the state of San
Francisco to Jerusalem in , the biblical
time when the devastated city/ was re
habilitated by Nehemiah. He told of
how this unselfish and patriotic; bibli r
cal character came to the rescue oT the
threatened city in Itstime of distress,
built the walls which were crumbling,
organized the people \ and routed their
enemies. It /was this" sort of a man
that .was needed In San Francisco, said
the; pastor. . \u25a0• • \u25a0
In speaking, of the conviction of
Schmitz he said: :.'-.-'j.
"It is a good beginning, and let us
hope that it will be' carried still fur
ther. It restores the confidence of the
east -and the country; in our city." I
feel sorry for the mayor," as he was not
wholly to blame. He did not know
anything about graft when .he was
elected. It ; was the college graduate
boss who, with. his education and cun
ning, taught Schmitz and the rest of
the municipal grafters the game. He
taught them all he ; knew and -then , told
on them. ; I think he is the meanest and
most -contemptible of the lot. I won
der that conditions are flot worse,:but
believe that a great step has been taken
In the right direction." r f :
Dr. I." Curtis Ileserve. D. D.. 1 pastor of
the Plymouth Congregational church '.n
Post street, said yesterday regarding
the conviction of Schmitz: .. :\u25a0
'"The conviction of .Mayor : Schmitz
upon a charge of extortion has aston

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
SHOOTING AT TONOPAH
Mrs. , Irene Clarjr Victim
of Murderous Assault by
: / 1 Unknown Thugs :
BULLET PIERCES EAR
Woman Is Attacked in the
Street Wlule on Way
ta-HerHome
TONQPAH. Nev.. June 18. — Tonopah
has a mystery Involving an alleged at
tempt at. murder, with robbery aa the
motive. The victim is Mrs. Irene Clark,
daughter of Judge Young of Reno.
The. alleged assault was made on last
Thursday night on Bryan avenue,
within a stone's throw of the main
street. Mrs. Clark states that she wan
returning home shortly after 9 o'clock,
when two shots were fired at her and
she fell insensible on the roadside.
When she recovered consciousness her
gold comb and $30 were missing.
Mrs. Clark has a bullet hole through
her right ear and an abrasion on her
right cheek. She also has a contusion
on her left breast. Not until yester
day afternoon did she consult a physi
cian, and the police had no knowledge
of the assault until late last niglu.
Chief of Police Malley has been work
ing on the case, but has no solution to
offer.
"Mrs. Clark came here about a week
ago and engaged a handsomely fur
nished residence on Bryan avenue.
Contrary to her usual custom, she
dined downtown on Thursday night
and left for her home about 9 o'clock
alone. She was within a block of her
house when the assault occurred. The
same night she telegraphed to het
sister In Reno and to her brother in
Golrtfleld that she had been shot and
robbed. They arrived here yesterday
and are uncommunicative regarding the
case. The sister is Mrs. Jones, wlfa of
Charles Jones, former district attorne>
of Reno. 1- :-,\u25a0\u25a0-.
• Strangely enough, no one living It
the neighborhood of the assault heard
any shots or any disturbance.
Mrs. Clark is the wife of C. C. Clark
of Oakland, from' whom she has been
separated for some years. Her first
husband was an operator named Black
and lived in Reno. Both Mrs. ClarU
and her. relatives have -shrouded the
case. In as much secrecy as possible and
the police are^worklng quietly on the
case in the hope of apprehending her
assailant.
A fire at 2885 Devlsadero street early
yesterday evening completely destroyer,
the house owned by A. H. Vail and
occupied by Mrs. A. Hamilton and fam
ily. Damage to the' extent of $2,000
was done, covered by J3.500 insurance.
