FAILS L | Deposed Mayor VSend's Wéminé Declares Politics Was- the Motive Which Prompted Prosecution That Eugene E. Schmitz does not interid to give up the office of mayor without a struggle was made plain yes- terday when he served written notice upon the board of | supervisors that he still considered himself the executive iof the city. In a remarkable letter he warned the super- visors against the plan the graft prosecution had outlined for them and charged that the entire movement was poli- [tical with the crowning objec? of granting valuable. fran- chises to Rudolph Spreckels and his associates. Earlier in the day it was announced by District At- tornev Langdon that no steps toward the reorganization of the city government would be taken until the applica- tion for bail, which Schmitz will make to the higher cqurt, shall have been passed upon. In thfs'way all complica- tions will be avoided. The prosecutlon is convinced that under the present circumstances Schmitz is unable to perform the duties-of the office and that the appointment of an acting mayor —— " & was the proper action. ~Should -the higher court admit Schmitz: to_batl:he will again take up his duties as mayor.

Schmitz made*a futile attempt yes- |terday to secure the aid of the court in {a desperate effort, to set at naught the | district attorney’s plan to relieve the | felon mayor of any strain incident to the performance of official duties. The summary action of the prosecu- tion in compelling the board of super- visors to elect Gallagher acting mayor has evidently brought Schmitz to a fuller realization ot his position. The felon mayor appeared in court yesterday morning with but the sem- blance of the wooden exterior he had presented throughout his trial. He be- |trayed no outward sign-of nervous- ness, but the deepened lines on his face | were an undeniable index of his mental perturbation. Schmitz was accompanied Into Judge Lawlor'g court by Frank Drew of his counsel.\ With their arrival virtually all of the\ defendants in the bandreds of graft cases pending were gresent ither in persom or represemnted by counsel. John J. Barrett, also of Schmitz's counsel, was there for Frank G. Drum, Eugene de Sabla and John Martin, indicted for brihery in connec- tion with the fixing of the gas rate. D. | M. Delmas ana T. C. Coogan, repre- | senting Louts Glass, respondea “ready.” and Stanley Moore answered for Pat- rick Calhqun, Thornwell Mullally, Tirey L. Ford and Willlam M. Abbott, indicted officials of the United Rail- roads. George Keane, counsel for Abe Ruef, and W. S. Wood of counsel for defendants In the Parkside cases, were present, but took no part in the brief proceedings. Only Detwiler, the miss- ing Toledo millionaire, was entirely without representation.
