Scottish Reformation" While the Rhoede's was being reproduced in opera house by Mrs. Monroe of Washington, a tank used In a moving picture scene exploded, and immediately there was a wild rush for the exits of the building. Men of mature years endeavored to still the panic, but their voices could not be heard above the shrieks and screams of the terrified women and children, who composed the greater part of the audience. It seeme'd as though nearly the entire audience made a mad rush for the exits the moment the explosion occurred. In their attempt to quiet the great crowd those persons who were on the stage accidentally upset the coal oil The lamps used at the footlights. burning oil scattaied In all directions, and the lumps which were used to light the opera house exploded, throwing the blazing oil over the terror-stricke- n people, who were fighting frantically to gain the exits. In the mad rush a section of the floor gave way, precipitating scores of persons to the basement It was scarcely five minutes from the time of the explosion of the tanks until the entire heart of the structure seemed a roaring furnace. There waa a mad scramble to tbs stairway, and cores of women and children were knocked down and trampled upon, many of them doubtless being crushed to death. At leaat fifty persona, realizing that exit by the stairway meant almost certain death, risked their lives by Jumping from the windows. Limbs were broken and skulls were crushed by this daring method of es- being thrown from a wagon while driving to town.

Schmitz, sentenced to five veara In San Fran-idsoon the charge of exertion, based ipon the alleged "holding up of the FrOnch restaurants in the matter of liquor licenses and setting aside the Indictment on which his conviction Was had. The trial' was made notable by the appearance of Abraham Ruef, Who controlled the municipal administration and placed practically flchmltx in office, as a witness against the mayor, testifying that he had paid him his share, 2,500, of the 5,000 received by Ruef from the French restaurant, in order that Schmlts would permit the board of police commissioners to issue liquor licenses to them. Ruef bad, previous to this, pleaded guilty to the same charge, at the same time making the enigmatical statement that he was innocent. On the ground that the Indict- did not show that a public Eoent was committed, because It did hot allege any threat to Injure property, the court holding that a liquor license was not property, but mere permission; that i threat to prevent the obtaining of a liquor license by one. who had no authority in the premises did not constitute a threat pgalnst property, and because of numerous errors in the ruling of the trial judge, the appellate court held that the Indictment, was Invalid and ihe conviction null and void. In effect, the court held that Schmltx was not given a fair and Impartial trial. The decision will have the effect Of Invalidating the other four Indictments, charging Schmltx, as well as Ruef, with extortion, and renders void the plea of guilty made by Ruef, as the appellate court held that no crim was committed. By this reversal it Is feared that the prosecution has lost its hold upon Ruef and it Is freely predicted that the former polltcal boss will now refuse all overtures for Immunity, Wholly or in part, to testify in the bribery-graf- t cases, and fight every dlctment against him. Although the court ordered Schmltk discharged from custody on the extortion Indictments, neither Schmlts nor Ruef can take advantage of the reversal for sixty days, and evea then there Is little likelihood that either of them will be able to get thw enormous ball required for their release. There are still pending against Ruef 126 Indictments charging bribery, on which the total ball Is 1,170,-00- 0, and Schmitz would have to get bonds for 450,000 on the forty tndlcV ments that remain against him. -- o Mental Healer Held Responsible for Dsath, of Child.
