The sentence of Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz to , five years in San Quentin penitentiary for extortion, and the commencement, and partial completion of the selection of a jury to try Vice President Louis Glass of the Pacific States Telegraph company on the first pf ten charges of bribing supervisors, were the tea tures of Monday in the bribery-graf- t proceedings. The sentencing of Schmitz was one of the most dramatic Beenes ever witnessed In a western court. The effectiveness of the fearful denunciation of the convicted mayor as delivered by Superior Judge Frank H, Dunne prior to the passing of Judgment was heightened by the demeanor of the prisoner, who time and again Interrupted the court to demand that these humiliating remarks" be desisted from and that the court do its sentence at duty by pronouncing once. At the conclusion, as the words be confined In the state penitentiary at San Quentin for a term of five years" fell from Judge Dunne's lips, the great crowd that packed the court room burst Into a cheer. Ilats were thrown Into the air, arms were waved and there was such an un restrained clatter of applause that the bailiffs pounding for order could not ' he heard. Once, while the sentence Impended, the Judge threatened to send Attorney Metson of the mayor's counsel to jail for rontempt because he decried the court's comments as cruel and unusual punishment," and Metson was told by Dunne that he ought to be begging a day in court to defend himself against the charge of having tampered with a witness in the case.'

THINKS WAR SURE. Senator Taylor of Tennessee Indulge! In Some Jingo Talk. Oklahoma City, Okla. United States Senator Robert Taylor of Tennessee, in an Interview here, said: War with Japan is bound to come I am glad that sixteen eventually. battleships have been sent to the Pacific coast. If war were to be declared now Japan could easily gobble up all of our far east possessions. Permanent peace can come to the United States by a large navy and I trust some day this country will have one hundred battleships. I consider the building of the lanama canal the greatest achievement of the age. The fact that with its completion we could assemble the Pacific and the Atlantic war fleets within five days is alone worth the money." 1 AUTO CAUSES SHOOTING.

The correspondent says that as a result of his inquiries he learns the situation Is really Btralned, although both governments are trying to conceal the fact.

Japan has been sending the United States extremely categorical notes stating without bitterness but In the clearest terms the that unless Washington Is able to control California, Japan will consider herself free to act directly against California. Nothing, however, yet has been exchanged precluding a the pacific settlement, but many of Japanese at The Hague are of the opinion that the Japanese government ought to act without delay and not give America time to utilize her vast resources and economic otentlallty, a hundred fold greater than Japan's, to perfect warlike preparations.
