Schmitz has lost even the forlorn consolation that a favored in- t lass is now the star hoarder at Sher- ff O'Neil's dreaded caravansary and Schmits, broken in health and spirits, | bereft of even the occasional comfort of visits from his old friends, s a spectacle to excite pi¢‘y. He suffers ud his agony ix that of the misery of | a long term behind penitentiary bars, crowded into the experience of weeks. Only bis wifc now comes to see him and the deputies pass their former master without the merest nod. Glass has more money, and that commodity in the county jatl, as‘eisewhere, buyl friende. At first Schimmitz was the royval guest. He was pampered and waitéd an like | the leader he was and the mayor that | he had been. He had his own eating place and his own dining hours. He was | not obliged to associate with wretched malefactors who stole dimes or a few dollare. He was the aristocratic head of a gigantic graft administration of which his keepers were the pages and the lackeys. So he ruled i{n the county { Jail that when he went to dinner it table and the food | was from the prison keeper’s table. He went dowristairs by a back way and his dignified figure was not seen among the rabble that clattered knives and forks against tin cups in the outer room. Schmitz met Glass last Monday. He smiled and proffered his hand. Glass did not see it. Convict refused to speak to convict. The shade of difference in their outlawed position toward society rendered Glass conscious of his supe- riority over the former mayor from a criminal point of view, and he snubbed his fellow felon. Schmitz's friends have ceased visit him, and one by one have deserted their former chief. Only “Doc” Leahy comes now t see his former political friend. The man who even in the county jail aspired o play at mayor has been beaten. e supreme court has dis- posed of the last shred of his claim to the honors he has lost. Several of his political friends who had been visiting him were exposed in their clandestine trips and made a final call. They have not returned and on Labor day the mis- ery of the convicted mayor was com- pleted. Louis Glass ousted him from his eating room and dinner hour. Louis Glass has money and spengs it in the only place and way he can just now. | He tips his waiters, the deputy sheriffs; be tips his houss keepers, the trusties, and he fraternizes with his host, the sheriff. 3 “I'would llke to eat my dinner in that little room off the kitchen,” said Glass on Lsbor day, “and I would ke it at 5 o'clock.” Glass had entertained meveral of his friends at -the jail, where his view is screened as much as possible from the realities of prison bars and locks and great keys. He dis- cussed his case with his lawyers, who held out high hopes to him, and he felt somewhat at ease. So he asSerted his wants ke any rich man who expected to pay his way in the world might have done. What he asked for was the last con- cession which Schmitz enjoyed. It was Schmitz's dining room and Schmitz’s hour. But who was Schmitz? So Glass, vice president and general manager of & great public service corporation, oustsd him. It was pitiful, said one of the guards yesterday, because it was g0 small. Schmitz was told with scant courtesy that he would have to ‘jvc up thé hour and the room to‘Glul He was not asked; he was'told.

Just before 11 o'clock a Hooper ave- nue car, between Ascot park and Compton, a suburb, was boarded by the robber as the car rounded a curve. The motorman and conductor were held up at the point of a revolver, yielding about $4. The robber was confused by the fact that the conductor was running. ‘the car while the motorman ate his luncheon. s Chinese ArreSted. for Running Blind Pig Special by Leased Wire to The Call STOCKTON, Sept. 23 —The San Joa- | quin authorities have just discovered that in those towns affected by the re- cent county ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sunday and after 1 \oclock at night, Chinese‘ have b [ hired to supply the Indulging pertien Eof the populuc. with all liquors they | desira.
