Saa Prandscn.--The district court of appeals handed down a decision Thursiay setting aside the judgment In the case of former Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, convicted of extortion in the French restaurant case. Abe Ruef also benefits by the ruling of the up­ per court, for, according to its deci­ sion, he pleaded guilty to an act that was no •offense against the laws of the state. Attcrorfltag to the appellate . judges the compelling of French restaurants to pay '"fees" to Abe Ruef was not a •crime, "even though Ruef divided the "fees'" with the mayor. After discussing the point the court reversed the judgment against IBdhmitz on the ground that no acts 'constituting a crime had been proved against him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded guilty to extorting money from the French restaurants, is therefore -equally guiltless. In passing upon the legality of the 'indictment the appellate court said: "The indictment is claimed to be in­ valid for two reasons: First, that it does not allege any threat to injure property, and, second, it does not al­ lege that the threat was to do an un­ lawful injury." The gist of that -portion of the de­ cision relating to the allegation that there was no threat to injure property is contained in the following sen­ tence: "There is no allegation as to any threat to injure any business in direct terms, but only the threat to prevent the parties from obtaining a license to sell liquor." A license to sell liquor is not property in the ordinary sense of the word, says the court. Commenting on the second conten­ tion of Schmitz's attorneys that there was no threat to do unlawful injury the court declares: "We are clearly of the opinion that the Indictment is insufficient, because it does not allege nor show that the specific injury threatened was an un­ lawful injury." It is not an unlawful act, reasons the court, to threaten to hold up the licenses of the restaurant keepers or actually to do so. Entitled to Release on Bail. The decision will stop the French restaurant cases, and pending charges of extortion against Schmitz and Ruef must be dismissed. Both are now en­ titled to release on bail. If they ob­ tain the necessary bondsmen they can remain at liberty until such time as a jury finds them guilty on one of the indictments charging them with receiving bribes from corporations. Owing to the number of cases against them the bail, figured at $10,000 a case, would reach an enormous figure. Can't Get Out for 60 Days. Schmitz and Ruef cannot take ad­ vantage of the decision for 60 days. The prosecution has 20 days in which to ask for a *reheariijg. Then the ap­ pellate court will have ten days to consider the application. When that is done the prosecution will go through the same procedure ia the supreme court, which will take the same length of time. Consequently Schmitz and Ruef will still be kept in the county jail for two months at least The news of the decision of the ap-1 pellate court spread rapidly over the city, causing consternation in eome quarters and delight in others. GAVE FORTUNE TO WOMER SENSATIONAL CHARGES IN SNELL SUIT AT CLINTON, ILL. Sen Trying to Break Will---Late Mtt* llenaira Scent Laraa Sum* aif> •••'. -2. ~ urana-mece. Clinton, • 111.--Testimony was begun Thursday in the suit instituted by Richard Snell, son of Col. Thoifias Snell, the late millionaire railroad builder, in the Dewitt county circuit court to break the will which cuts young Snell off with an annuity of but $50. Sensational statements were made by counsel for the plaintiff to the ef­ fect that Col. Snell had expended no less than $300,000 upon women dur­ ing the last ten years of his life, of which $75,000 had gone to his alleged grandniece, Maybelle Snell, of Kansas City, Mo., no# Mrs. McNamara. The plaintiff stated that letters will be read to the jury that were found among Col. Snob's possessions indi­ cating that society women had cajoled nearly a quarter of a million dollars from ihe late millionaire. Richard Snell, who is president of the Dewitt County National bank, al­ leges that the terms of his father's will were the result of an "evil and wrongful influence" exerted over his JFather by Mabelle Snell, now Mrs. McNamara. Col. Snell made his fortune building railroads, including 800 miles of the Illinois Central. During the civil war he commanded the One Hundred and Seventh regiment of Illinois volun­ teers. He died over a year agoi at 90 years of age. Kansas City, Mo.--Mr. James V. McNamara, formerly Miss Maybelle Snell, was married last November.

Miss Snell was left $1,200 a year by the Illinois millionaire. Besides this her relatives gave her securities and deeded lands within the last four or five years amounting to not less than $25,000.

New York.--Four firemen went to their deaths Friday night when they responded to a fire that ruined the Parker building, a 12-story business structure occupying the block between East Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets on Fourth avenue. Fought by half the firemen of Man­ hattan and apparatus that filled the streets for blocks, the flames were never controlled and only with diffi­ culty were they confined to the build­ ing tn which they originated. Floor after floor gave way and dropped to the basement and beneath these and crumbling walls no less than 30 fire­ men were caught and either killed outright or seriously injured. When the flre had burned itself out and the firemen's roll was called, three men of engine company No. 72 and one from fire patrol No. 3 failed to re­ spond. When casualties began the Flor­ ence hotel, which adjoins the burned building on Eighteenth street, was made a temporary hospital, where fire department physicians gave immedi­ ate aid to tSie injured. The monetary loss was estimated at $5,000,000. RECEIVERS FOR A RAILWAY. S&tefeney and G. H. F. 8mith Named for Chicago Great Western. St. Paul, Minn.--Judge Walter H. .Sanborn, of the United States circuit court, Wednesday afternoon appointed A. B. Stick ney and Charles H. F. Smith, both residents of St. Paul, re­ ceivers for the Chicago Great West- em railroad. A. B. Stickney is now president of the road. The firm of Kellogg & Severance of St. Paul was appointed attorneys for the receiver. The appointment of receivers fol­ lowed the inability of the company to meet obligations falling dne in 1908, and the failure to secure an extension of the obligations. Loss as a result of the boilermakers' strike of last fall is given as a partial cause for the financial straits of the road. It was also pointed out in the proceedings that during the last ten years the road has spent $19,000,000 in recon­ struction.

' ^ i ' ,«v '-Kipr L E CANAL COST, $200,000,000 CHANGED CONDITIONS CAUSE IN­ CREASE OF ESTIMATE. Part Will Be Repaid by Panama Gov­ ernment--Reasons for Raising of the Figures. Washington.--Because of changed conditions from those existing in 1905, when the minority of the board of consulting engineers of' the Panama canal submitted Jts report,- it is now admitted in responsible quar­ ters that the estimate made by that report for building the canal was far too low and that the cost may approx­ imate $200,000,000. This includes various incidental items, such as administration, sanita­ tion and improvements aggregating several millions of dollars in Panama and Colon, which, however, will be re­ funded by the Panama government; the expenses of the zone government, and various expenses incidental to the relocation and acquisition of the Pan­ ama railroad. The estimate of the board in 1905 was that the cost of the canal would be $139,765,200, but this estimate did not include expenses on account of interest during construc­ tion, sanitation and zone government. Last spring the present corhmission made some genei'al estimates of the probable cost of the work which re­ sulted in placing it anywhere between $210,000,000 and $250,000,000, but the more conservative members believed the lower figure would prove ultimate­ ly correct. Since that time some of the commissioners have found that a considerable saving can be made from the lower estimate which warrants them in placing the estimated cost at nearer $200,000,000 than a higher figure. Various reasons are assigned for the increased cost, including wider and longer locks than those proposed by the board of engineers, a greater quantity of excavation than that esti­ mated by the board, an increase in unit prices and higher prices for la­ bor than those thought adequate by the board. That board estimated the locks would cost less than $40,000,000, while the present commission thinks it will be between $52,000,000 and $60,- 000,000 with a still greater increase of ten per cent, if the locks are fur­ ther widened as proposed by the navy department. HEiNZE LOSES CONTROL OF BANK Couldn't Pay for 8tock in the Mercan­ tile National.

Ravenna, O.--Edwin Collier, Sr., took his eight-year-old blind son, Ed- win> to his wife's grave In Ravenna cemetery some time Thursday night, shot him dead and then put a bullet through his own body, near the heart.

Washington.--President has deter­ mined to withdraw the federal irodps from Goldfield, Nev., shortly after, the legislature begins its special session Tuesday. This intention was made known at the White House Sunday when the report of the special investi­ gation committee was made public, to­ gether with a letter from the president to oGv. Sparks, dated January 4. The president says he shall be gov­ erned by the recommendations ia the report unless the governor can show that the statements of the report are not in accordance with the facts. The report says: "The conditions did not 'support the general allegations in the governor's request for troops, hor were his spe­ cific statements established to any stich extent as to Justify his use of these statements for the purpose of getting federal troops." It concludes with this recommenda­ tion: ..... "But. we must also 'firmly believe that upon the assembling of the legis­ lature, or within a few days there­ after, the troops should be removed, regardless of any request for their re­ tention that may be made by either the legislature or the governor of Nevada, it being essential that the state of Nevada shall understand this situation completely, shall recognize the fact that there will, at that date, be thrown upon it, and*it alone, the primary responsibility of keeping or­ der and that, recognizing this responsi­ bility, it may take such action as is the duty of the state and as will be sufficient in the premises."
