Edna Wnllaco Hoppor, tho actress, is dangerously ill at her studio. By Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Juno 7. The proprietors, boforo tho fire, of the fivo French restaurants alleged to have beon victimized by Schmitz and Ruef, testi fied for tho prosecution today in the trial of tho mayor for extortion. Two things stood out prominently when thoy finishod: Tirst, that without exception thoy claimed to havo paid into tho $10, 000 protection fund because thoy wore satisfied that unless thoy employed Ruef thoy would loso thoir licoriBes nnd busi ness; second, thnt without exception thoy denied that any threat had been made that thoy would loso their licenses unless thoy employed Ruof or that Ruef asked to bo employed, or that ho or any ono in his behalf solicited $10,000 or nny sum of monoy whatsoever. Ruof May Cinch Caso Tho prosocution contends that it is building up certain conviction by seek ing to establish tho fact that certain French rcstnuratcurs thomsolvcs acted as agonts of Ruof in suggesting that he bo employed to protoct their liconscs and in the dovolopmonts which followed and Henoy has promised to prove pre sumably by tho testimony of Ruef that tho money paid to Jtuef was by him divided with the mayor, after which tho licenses wero granted. Tho dofenso takes the position that thus far tho prosecution hus utterly failed to support the accusation against the mayor, inasmuch as he is charged with extorting through threat and fear. Mayor Was Surprised Tho prosecution called Joseph Mai fanti, proprietor of Delmonico's, before the fire. He cnllcd on tho mayor after tho revocation of Tortoni's license nnd asked him what tho trouble was. Tho mayor was very friendly and expressed surprise that any difficulty should have arisen. "I have nothing against tho places," ho said. "I enjoy going to them my self, but I'll call a special meeting of tlft commission nnd see what can be done. I'll bo there mysolf." Mnlfanti attended tho meeting, but Schmitz did not show up. "Right awny,"(said tho witness, "I smelted a rat, and the commissioners wouldn't listen to any argument of ours." Ruef Demanded Big Feo After tho meeting tho restaurateurs decided that the outlook was very blue' and at tho proposal of Loupy thoy de cided to sec if Ruof could do something for them. Tho next day they hold a meeting at Adler's. When Loupy re ported having seen Ruef and said that Ruef demanded $7,000 a year for two years to tako chargo of tho cases, "We instructed Loupy," said tho witness, "to sec nil tho other restaurants, but tho only ones who camo in woro mysolf, Marchand, tho Now Poodle Dog, Pup and Bay State, Wo decided to stop talking and put our hands in our pock ets. "Picrro Priot was not willing to trust Loupy, so bo went himself and saw Ruof. He reported to us the noxt day. Ho said that ,Ruef would tako $5,000 a year for two years; if wo paid wo woro to got our licenses. Wo agreqd to pay. Loupy said ho was too poor to pay his full share, so we allowed him to pay $300. Not Paying for Pun "J hnd about $100,000 invested in Delmonico's. I did not pay my monoy to Ruef for fun. He was tho man thnt controlled tho administration. His re lations with tho mayor were such that ho could do anything ho wished. I paid because I was afraid I would Iobo my license. That would havo ruined my business. I would havo to close up. "Wo paid tho money and got Ruof's word that it would bo all right. I asked Priot if ho got a recoipt. 'No,' ho said, 'you ought to bo glad to got Ruof's "word of honor." ' " "Then did Ruof appear boforo tho police board and roprcsont you and tho others and were ySur licenses regrant edl" Mayor Calls at Delmonico's Malfanti answered affirmatively; but ho said that in tho meantime tho mayor camo to his restaurant for dinner. "I wont upstairs to him at onco when tho waiter told mo ho was in tho house. I said: 'Mayor, how is it that our licenses are still held, up! Our business suffers very much.' Tho mayor said: 'I don't understand why it is. I told him to fix it right away; I don't seo, why ho hasn't dono it. But 111 seo him today nnd see thnt it is all right.' " "By 'him' did ho refer to Rucff asked Honey. Tho witness said ho did not mention Ruef 'a name.

ARMY OFFICER SUICIDES IN TEXAS AFTER RESIGNING By Associated Press. WEST POINT, N. Y., June 7. In the absence of her husband, who has gone to New York for the day, Mrs. Elizabeth Fairfax Ayrcs declined today to discuss tho details of her suit for damages which it ia said shi is about to bring against several high officers of the military academy. Mrs. Ayres said the case is now in Ihe hands of a Now York lawyer and the formal papers of tho suit will soon be served. If tho caso comes to trial it is be lioved some interesting side lights will bo thrown on tho social lifo at the acad emy. Under ordinary circumstances any misunderstandings in which tho officers of the academy or their wives might become involved would bo threshed out before a courtmartial and tho test! mony never bo published. In this case, however, an appeal is to bo mado to tho civil courts and tho testimony will probably bo given in public.

Sho resides just outsldo of tho reservation nnd under a recent order issued upon the request of academy officials, Mrs. Ayrcs is denied tho privilege of visiting tho grounds. Tho ordor of prohibition, which is said to havo a largo plnco in Mrs. Ayrcs' complaint in support of her suit for damages, does not apply to her husband or son, who is a endot at tho academy. The order of prohibition against Mrs. Ayrcs, which was issued before her husband returned, followed a long pe riod of misunderstanding between Mrs. Ayres nnd tho ncademy officials. The facts are disputed. MRS. AYRES' HUSBAND WILL STAND BY HER HIGHLAND FALLS, N. Y., Juno 7. Aftor reading a communication from tho war department, Lieutenant Colonel Charles G.
