DEVIOUS DODGING OF MR. SPRECKELS Shoutino for a Speedy Trial in the Libef Case, He Seeks to Evade the Issue by Appeals Judge Cook of the San Francisco superior court has given his decision in the application to have the writ of habeas corpus for John D. Spreckels and W. S. Leake of the Call dismissed. Judge Cook's decision in the habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Spreckels and Leake to test the question of jurisdiction is that he has no power or right under the circumstances to decide whether Governor Gage's residence is in Los Angeles or Sacramento, and therefore he dismisses the writ and orders the prisoners remanded to the custody from which they came. The contention made by the attorneys for the defendants was that they were illegally restrained of their liberty. The court of San Pedro, before which Governor Gage's complaint was filed, had, it was alleged, no jurisdiction for the reason that the complainant was not a resident of Los Angeles county, but of Sacramento, which place is specified by the constitution as the residence of the governor of the state. In order to test this point the bondmen of the defendants gave them up, and the editors remanded to the custody of Chief of Police Wittman long enough to sue out a writ of habeas corpus. The decision is a voluminous document of 4000 words, and deals in detail with the motion made by Attorney Moore for the dismissal of the writ. The grounds urged by Moore were three in number. First, that the petitioner, having given bail and not having been at the time of the issuance of the writ in the custody of the sheriff of Los Angeles county, was not so strained of his liberty as to be entitled to a writ of habeas corpus; second, that on the face of the petitioner the prisoner was not entitled to the writ, because the copy of the complaint therein set forth contained every allegation necessary to show jurisdiction in the justice of the peace who issued the warrant of arrest; third, that the answer failed to say the organic law, "or informations laid for publications in newspapers shall be tried in the county where such newspapers have their publication office, or in the county where the party alleged to be libeled resided at the time of the alleged publication, unless the place of trial shall be changed for good cause." The jurisdiction here conferred is in the alternative. The action may be brought either where the paper is published, or where the complaining witness resides; it cannot be brought in both places. Governor Gage having instituted his proceeding in the justices' court of Los Angeles county, jurisdiction has there attached, in the opinion of the San Francisco Post, and it is not within the power of Spreckels or any other person to institute another proceeding elsewhere. If "Butt-In" Boardman had filed his complaint in San Francisco ahead of Governor Gage, he might have a chance to earn a portion of the fee which Spreckels probably intends to pay him, but having waited until the prospect of forcing his employer to go to San Pedro became imminent, he has invoked the aid of a court which does not possess jurisdiction. Many years ago—to be exact, in October, 1854—the supreme court decided in the case of Johnson vs. Jordon, that where concurrent jurisdiction existed in different courts, the tribunal which first obtained control possessed the power to render the final and conclusive decision. Even if the prosecution commenced by "Butt-In" Boardman were a genuine attempt to punish Spreckels for libel, instead of being an attempt to protect him from being forced to justify all, there would be no jurisdiction in San Francisco to prosecute him against the will of Governor Gage. The constitution unquestionably gives the complaining witness the right to opinion between expert engineers. Next the paper broke out in a raid of defamatory headlines accompanied with a few meaningless photographs of bills, in which by cowardly innuendo and implications it charged Governor Gage, as well as the warden of St. Quentin prison, with being the best deficiaries of forgery, the alteration public records and other crimes. Up their face these charges were absurd and fell to the ground by reason their own lack of substance. They have been challenged in the court and will undoubtedly be shown to without foundation. Then the paper unearthed the case of a friendless Chinaman who, in company with several white prisoners, had been paroled at the instance of Governor, and in order to comply with the law, given employment as a captain on his ranch. This charge made those whom it was designed to enrage laugh, and now the Call has rejoined its partners in the combine, and faded back on the reiteration of the absence that Governor Gage is popular, that he is an impossible candidate, that he is politically dead, that his adherents have thrown him over board and are looking around for other candidates, and all that sort thing. In short, the campaign of combine has gone back to its original place without having gained a slight point, except to land a few of its耻仆ants in jail. As for the statement that Governor Gage is politically dreadful and that his supporters are looking around for another candidate, it is sified by the action-of his newspapers opponents themselves. Newspaper do not devote unlimited space to abuse and belittlement of candidates whose chances are dead. That Favorable Report Orange Post. As predicted by many, the special committee of the A. U. W. Co. investigates the Yorba reservoir consisting of John P. Zeyn and G. Sherwood, reported last Saturday favor of the site. In this report Zeyn described how they bored into the ground over forty feet ordinary two-inch and three-inch arms, extended by welding on their quarter-inch pipe and operated ordinary pipe wrenches. The result did not explain whether this welling outfit was the one advertised for Moore for the dismissal of the writ The grounds urged by Moore were three in number. First, that the petitioner, having given bail and not having been at the time of the issuance of the writ in the custody of the sheriff of Los Angeles county, was not so restrained of his liberty as to be entitled to a writ of habeas corpus; second, that on the face of the petition the prisoner was not entitled to the writ, because the copy of the complaint therein set forth contained every allegation necessary to show jurisdiction in the justice of the peace who issued the warrant of arrest; third, that the answer failed to show any illegal restraint. On the first ground Judge Cook denied the motion, holding that the defendant was restrained at the time he applied for the writ. Continuing, Judge Cook said: "Upon the second ground the motion must also fail, because, being in the nature of a murrier, the allegations of the petition must, for the purpose of this motion, be taken as true, and the direct allegations thereof call for the issuance of the writ." In making the third point the court said: "The third ground, however, goes to the merits of the writ, and if respondent's contention be correct, that no evidence can be taken to contradict the allegations of the complaint on which the warrant of arrest was based—which complaint is admitted to be as set forth in the petition—the writ must be dismissed and the prisoners remanded." After several pages of reasoning, the court comes to the conclusion that consent of respondent is correct, and that the question of jurisdiction could not be decided upon habeas corpus. Such arguments runs the opinion, should be presented before the magistrate before whom the case is pending or to an appellate court. At the request of Judge Cook an order was made by Judge Lawler, granting a day's stay of proceedings in order to give the petitioners time to apply to the supreme court for a writ. Attorney Moore objected to such an order, saying that the decision reminded the prisoners to the custody of the chief of police at once, and that the court could not issue an order binding that official. Despite the objection, the order for a stay was issued. Still Sparring for Wind From Judge Cook's decision Spreckels appealed to the supreme court of the state of California. Judge Beatty, chief justice of the supreme court, denied Spreckels' petition for a writ discharging him from custody, thus up holding Judge Cook. Spreckels did not rest with the refusal of the state supreme court to sue a writ of habeas corpus, but went before United States Circuit Judge Morrow and renewed his petition, being represented by Lawyer William H. Metson. Judge Morrow denied the writ, but allowed an appeal to be taken from his ruling and made an order in appeal to the United States supreme court. A citation was then issued to Chief Wittman to produce the bodies. Mendacity of the Call It is a recognized and axiomatic principle of logic that the cause which can only be served, or which can best be served by a resort to mendacity, tergiversation, deceit, fanfareading or other like methods, must necessarily be a weak and unworthy cause. Viewed from this standpoint the howl of the editorial triumvirate against the nomination of Governor Gage is not deserving of any serious consideration, either from the political workers or from the general body of the public. The Governor's candidacy is in no material respect weaker today than it would have been if the flood-gates of case of Johnson vs. Jordon, that where concurrent jurisdiction existed in different courts, the tribunal which first obtained control possessed the power to render the final and conclusive decision. Even if the prosecution commenced by "Butt-In" Boardman were a genuine attempt to punish Spreckels for libel, instead of being an attempt to protect him from being forced to justify at all, there would be no jurisdiction in San Francisco to prosecute him against the will of Governor Gage. The constitution unquestionably gives the complaining witness the right to select the place in which his charges shall be preferred, and Governor Gage having selected the place of his residence, the matter is ended. Spreckels will finally have to go to Los Angeles, and he may as well submit gracefully first as last. The constitution and law do not in this case give his numerous lawyers a chance to save him from the result of his wicked folly. This, indeed, is one libel exploit in which he will have to come forward and make his proofs or plead the baby act and go to jail. Probably Spreckels may able to delay his preliminary examination before Justice Downing until after the August primary, but to do so will not help his case. The tearful appeals of his confederate, De Young, in favor of a local trial before a court which appears to be anxious to protect the millionaire libeler will avail him nothing. As soon as De Young himself ceases to mingle with royalty in Europe and returns to this city for the purpose of repairing his depleted exchequer, he too will be summoned before the Los Angeles superior court—unless, indeed, he telegraphs ahead and has "Butt-In" Boardman begin an action against him. The difficulty with Spreckels and De Young in this matter is that neither one of them has a scrap of evidence upon which to base his charges against Governor Gage in connection with the San Quentin prison. When they are brought into court they are bound to appear as unserupulous and irresponsible libelers. Neither of them, however, is likely to be abashed in the enactment of this cowardly role; what they do not like is playing the character with Governor Gage as an antagonist. But Spreckels is up against the real thing now, and the sooner he pleads guilty and goes to jail the better it will be for him.

Boggs—How does that happen Spreckels did not rest with the refusal of the state supreme court to issue a writ of habeas corpus, but went before United States Circuit Judge Morrow and renewed his petition, being represented by Lawyer William H. Metson. Judge Morrow denied the writ, but allowed an appeal to be taken from his ruling and made an order in appeal to the United States supreme court. A citation was then issued to Chief Wittman to produce the bodies of both Spreckels and Leake before the supreme court in Washington at noon of September 4th and show reason why he should not release the defendants from custody. The order on appeal to the United States supreme court stays all proceedings in the San Pedro case until the appeal shall have been determined in Washington. In the ordinary practice the remit-titur from the court will not reach Judge Morrow for at least one year, and certainly not until after the election next November. Pending the determination of the appeal, Messrs. Spreckels and Leake must remain under bonds to Chief of Police Whitman. Spreckels up Against the Real Thing The word "jurisdiction," when used in the law, signifies the power to hear and determine. It is the basis upon which a court acts. Jurisdiction does not depend upon the correctness of the decision rendered by the judge, nor on the manner in which the hearing is conducted; it relates to the power of the court conferred by law to hear and determine the particular controversy brought to its attention. There is a principle of jurisdiction involved in "Butt-In" Boardman's case in the police court which ought to be decisive of that proceeding. When it is invoked by the lawyers who have procured a writ of prohibition on behalf of Governor Gage against Judge Fritz, it will probably bring the side-show inaugurated by Spreckels to a speedy end. The state constitution fixes the jurisdiction of criminal proceedings for libel in two places, namely, the county where the newspaper in which the libel is printed is published, and the city or county where the complaining witness resides. "Indictments found," FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the industries and resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a READ HARDPAN COMMITTEE'S REPORT AGAIN Compare Its Notable Lack of Essentials With That of Henry Bluejeans Kellogg ANAHEIM, July 5, 1902. To the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company—Gentlemen: Your committee having in charge the further examination of the Yorba reservoir site, with reference to its availability for the purpose intended, reports as follows: Borings were begun on June 3rd and prosecuted continuously until July 2nd. The tools used were a two-inch and a three-inch ordinary augur, welded on three-quarter-inch black pipe. The augur was screwed into the ground with an ordinary pipe wrench for a foot or more, and then withdrawn and the adhering material removed. In dry ground a little water was poured into the hole to make the material adhere to the augur. This method works very well and rapidly in loam or clay, but considerable difficulty is usually experienced in going through a considerable stratum of sand, as it will neither adhere well to the augur or stand up unless puddled with clay. These difficulties were partially overcome by driving a piece of casing as fast as the hole was bored, and working inside it. Gravel containing boulders we were usually unable to penetrate, except by digging pits. The location and results of the borings are shown in detail on the accompanying cross-section. In general we find that at an average depth of 25 feet below the surface on proposed dam line there is a stratum of tough bluish-yellow clay about 14 feet in thickness, underlaid with fine sand, which we did not penetrate more than two feet. Borings made in the bottom of the reservoir 400 feet and 800 feet north of the dam line and at other places would indicate that this stratum of clay is continuous and unbroken in this part of the reservoir site. This stratum of clay is overlaid with strata of loam, sand, clay and gravel, varying in thickness and distribution, gravel being usually found on the top of the hills to a considerable depth. Your committee sees no reason why a safe dam cannot be constructed at this place if a proper foundation is made in the above-mentioned stratum of bluish clay. The details of construction, viz., whether the puddle wall should be built to the top of the dam; how far in hills on each side it should be constructed; of what materials the dam should be built, and the most economical way to build them. IMPORTANT LAND CASE DEVELOPMENT Sixty Thousand Acres of Land Adjudged to Have Been Lawfully in Possession Southern Pacific Railway Thousands of property owned by Southern California have been fited by an important decision derided by Judge E. M. Ross of the States court. According to this moment a piece of property, a portion of the old Atlantic and Pacific lands of 1866, amounting to more than acres and extending from the boundary of California to the ocean at San Buena Ventura, was legally possessed by the Southern Pacific company, and that corps is ordered to pay to the United government value of the land, on an acre. All the property was subdivided by Southern Pacific company ago into towns, lots and acres have since become ranches, or small plots owned by private individuals. The property extends to fertile districts and includes portions of the richest orange Southern California. Although declared that the railway could never owned the property, this makes purchasers safe by complying their titles to the lands in question. This property includes towns in San Fernando valley, Los Angeles county directly to Los Angeles and Pasadena. Of both these cities also were original grants. For such property the Southern Pacific railroad much more than "government Instead of $1.25 an acre," much land brought from $5 an acre. It will be observed therefore although the railway company suits the suit and suffers judgments costs, the corporation will be given up but from $75,000 to $80 cash, while it has received many this amount from the sale of which the court now decides had a title.

Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belaunded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined.

I have used it with satisfaction for thirty-five years. It is a preparation which deserves full public confidence." Two Sizes, 25c. and 50c. There is only one Pain-Killer Perry Davis.' "She Let Concealment Like a Worm i' the Bud Feed on Her Damask Cheek." How aptly Shakespeare touches the dominant chord in a woman's nature. She suffers in silence; draws a curtain over her private sorrows, and endures until endurance ceases to be a virtue. This is especially the case with the modest minded women who suffer from diseases peculiar to the sex. They are miserable and unhappy, yet, although they know that they need medical aid and assistance, they choose rather to bear the ills they know than to submit to the examination of some local physician. Sense Medical Adviser, and I thought from reading it that Dr. Pierce's medicine would do me more good than all the home doctors—and so it has. If any one had told me it would do me so much good I would have said, 'Oh no, not that much good.' I can truly say that I was surprised at the benefit I received. I can do all my washing and also tend my flower garden. In fact I am on my feet most all the time. An old friend of mine said to me, 'Why, what is the matter with you? You are getting young again.' I told her I had taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce's medicines, and if she would do likewise she would feel ten years younger, too." However wonderful it may seem, that Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription is uniformly successful in curing diseases peculiar to women, it is not so wonderful as it appears. It is not wonderful to us, that a machine made to perform a certain task accomplishes it perfectly. We do not wonder at the engine which pulls the train of cars, although we know nothing of mechanics. We know the engine was made to do this thing. We do not wonder at a musical artist like Pade-rewski who sits at the instrument and produces perfect harmony. We know that constant practice enables his perfect command of the keyboard. Let an inexperienced player sit down to the piano, and the same keys falsely touched jar into discord. It is so with Dr. Pierce in his experience and practice of medicine. "Favorite Prescription" only does what it was made to do. Doctor Pierce knows the whole gamut of the female organism. Where a less experienced practitioner produces a discord, his experience and skill enables the production of perfect harmony. The difference between the success of Dr. Pierce and the ordinary practitioner in the treatment and cure of womanlyailments is the difference between skill, and success on the one hand and a casual experience on the other. GAINED TEN POUNDS. "I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two of his 'Golden Medical Discovery' and received great benefit," writes Mrs. Elmer D. Sheare, of Mounthope, Lancaster Co., Pa. "I do not have those sick spells as formerly. Before I took your medicine I hardly walk at times when I had Had Not Heard from Kern Riverside Press. The following item is from the editorial columns of the San Bernardino sun of Tuesday: Hon. L. H.

Smith for Congress from the Eighth district and realize that to go behind age would lose that tight to a certain, consequently it will be an anti-age delegation that goes from Kern. Evidently Mr. Valentine and the sun editor had not heard from Kern on Saturday, three days before this event appeared, Governor Gage won out in the primaries in Kern county, five to one. The Flint ticket was eaten out of sight in Senator Smith's own city and in his own precinct. A solid Gage delegation will go up from Kern county. It looks as if this "coerence of machine politicians" that Mr. Valentine talks about were four-fifths of the Republicans of Kern county. The Sun has neglected to publish the news from Kern, but the people of San Bernardino county will hear about it, if they haven't already. And the news is somewhat embarrassing to candidate Smith and candidate Kendall, who have elected to tie up to Flint in this contest. The Effect of Drink. Senator Vest has a favorite story which he has told on the occasion of many a political speech, but, so far as known, never on the floor of the United States senate. "A temperance lecturer was struggling against odds in Kentucky," says the senator. "He was talking to a very large audience that had been drawn to the hall by curiosity. The effect of alcohol is to shorten life," said the lecturer. "An old man at the rear of the hall rose at that juncture and said, 'You're a liar.'" "Why?" inquired the advocate of Adam's ala. "Because, sir, I've been drinking for 75 years, and I'm 90 and am likely to live to be 100. I am strong enough to lick you if you'll step outside." "Oh, no doubt, sir! You're an exception, sir. If you keep on drinking'—The lecturer paused. "What?" asked the impatient old toper. "If you keep on drinking, you'll have to be shot on judgment day." — St. Louis Globe-Democrat. For this reason many a woman lets disease fasten upon her. She conceals her condition and endures a daily martyrdom of pain because her mind revolts at the thought of submission to the treatment she knows the local practitioner will insist upon. Very many women have written grateful letters to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., because they have found in his methods an escape from the offensive questions, the obnoxious examinations, and the disagreeable local treatments insisted on by so many home physicians. These things are, as a rule, not necessary. Dr. Pierce's experience and success in treating hundreds of thousands of women enables him at once to determine from the written statements of women the form of disease which it is necessary to treat. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is sacredly confidential and the same strict professional privacy guards the written confidences of women as is observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consultations with women at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. A WOMAN'S STATEMENT. "I enjoy good health, thanks to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' writes Mrs. J. J. Schneteyer, of Pontiac, Livingston Co., Ill. "Have taken six bottles of each kind. I was taken sick last February and the doctors here called it 'Grip,' I lay for four weeks in bed, then when I got up I found I had 'Displacement.' Had such aches and pains in my back and limbs could not stand any length time. I knew that our home doctor would insist the first thing on an examination, and that I would not submit to unless I was dangerously sick, and then it would be too late to do any good. My son had your book, Common In the treatment and cure of womanly ailments is the difference between skill, and success on the one hand and a casual experience on the other. GAINED TEN POUNDS. "I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two of his 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and received great benefit," writes Mrs. Elmer D. Sheare, of Mount Hope, Lancaster Co., Pa. "I do not have those sick spells as formerly. Before I took your medicine I could hardly walk at times, when I had uterine trouble. I can truly say that after taking four bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery' I did not suffer any more. I gained ten pounds in weight. In June I commenced using the medicine and in July helped to harvest the wheat, so you may know that I did not feel very bad." Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite, and induces refreshing sleep. As a tonic for weak, worn-out, run-down women it is unequaled. It makes weak women strong, sick womens well. Accept no substitute for "Favorite Prescription." The only motive for substitution is to enable the dealer to make the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritorious medicines. GIVEN AWAY.
