HABEAs CoRPUs.-Y yesterday All Lung
was brought before Judge benson upon
writ of habeas corpus alleging that he was il
legally held in custody. j. W. Armstrong
appeared for the petitioner, and City Attor-
ney W. A. Anderson represented the pee-
pie. The petitioner is one of the parties re-
Gently convicted in the Police Court for car
rying concealed weapon, under Ordinance
No. 81 of this city, prohibiting any one ex-
cspt peace officers and travellers, and those
having a permit from the Board of Police
concealed deadly or dangerous weapons with
in the city limits. 1t was shown on the trial
in the Police Court that the defendant
was one of the parties who have been
indulging in the amusement of shooting
at or among their countrymen on l street
lately, and is in Chinese circles commonly
denominated "highbindsr." The grounds
urged by petitioners counsel for the dis
charge were, first, that there was no valid
Judgment entered against the defendant, and
that the certified copy OF the judgment re-
turned by the Chief of Police as his author
ity for holding him was untrue second, that
the ordinance under which the conviction was
obtained is unconstitutional and void, being
class legislation. City Attorney Anderson,
for the people, argued, in support of the
commitment, that as it was certified to by the
Clerk of the Court and was the sole author
ity of the Chief Of Police for holding de-
fendant, that it could not be questioned, and
even If it could be brought in question, the
Court could now enter proper judgment
and return it that the ordinance in question
was not class legislation that because excep-
tions were made therein would not bring it
under the head of class legislation, any more
than exceptions In license ordinances and laws
that the ordinance is one under the police
power of the municipal government, and is
constitutional and valid. Owing to the late
ness of the hour and the long session of the
Court he had held during the day, the Judge
declined to hear any further argument in the
case, and took the questions under advise
ment, remanding the petitioner to the GUS
tody of the Chief Of Police in the mean
time to await conclusions.
