The first test case in the hold over Senator
matter, already familiar to the public. was
decided yesterday by the Supreme Court.
institution by one Jennings asking the court
to compel Governor Markham to proclaim
new election In the Fortieth District
The grounds of the petition were that the
position of Senator therein was vacant. as
ii. Nj. Streeter, the former incumbent, had
been left out by the reapportionment of
districts.
According to the old apport onment San
Diego and San Bernardino comprised the
Fortieth District, but the new deal cut off
San Bernardjno. and as Streeter resided
there Jennings claimed he was cut off too.
But the court tho lght otherwise.
The section under which the cutoff plea
was raised was section of article ~ of
the Political Code:
Assembly who has not been citizen and in.
habtant of the State three years and OF the dis
trict for which he shall be elected one year next
before his election.
This provision, as far as residence was
concerned, 1t was quite clear 10 the court
did not affect the question.
"Streeter, says the court, was elected
for district composed of the counties of
San Bernardino and San Diego and at the
time Of his election he WAS and for q year

Then arose James Long. who, In stentor-

Mr. Long said all he asked was fair treat

MI Long rejoined that the regular DEM

had continued in existence until Monday
night. when their successors had taken their
seats. 1t had never delegated its powers to
any other body.
Registrar Brown protested against further
DELAY, and gave notice that he would ap-
point no man who was not on the assess

Commissioner Smiley said he thought Mr..
Brown misapprehended his functions. The
Election Board alone had the right to ap-

Mr.. Brown could do was TO reject the ap-

Then Mr.. Kast told stories about women

him shoes bought In a vile Chinese alley
which were supposed to be great bargains.
"In every such instance have been able
to offer these women better shoes for less
money than those they considered so good

PERISHED IN THE FLAMES.
An Old Man Roasted in a

Jackson-street Rookeries In Flames-H eroic
Rescue Of Saloon KsepsI's
Prize Parrot.

There is a row Of time-eaten rookeries at
the southeast corner of jackson and Bat
terry streets that has long been an offense to
the artistic eve. They are old, ugly and
diapidated relics OF the San Francisco Of
the past.
At 10:12 o'clock last night fire was disrov-
cred in one of these runous structures. q
shoeshop numbered 339 Jacks IN street.
IT'S good thing for the city," said the
unselfsh spectators. 1T is time these old
shauties were wiped out"
The owner of the little shoestore was OF
spectator. His name is Louis Trautmap
and he was invisible when the fire broke
out. The flames first appeared at the rear
OF his shop. Thence they made their way
toward Jackson street on the north aud Bat
terry street on the west, bearing with them
a strong odor of burning kerosene.
1t was supposed that lamp had exploded
in the little shop, aud that 1t had caused the
conflagration.
The flames crawled along the rear of the
shanties on Battery street, but had done
little damage when the fremen appeared
and brought them into submission.
The shoestore was gutted. causing loss
Of about $500 to its proprietor.
The other buildings were slightly dam
aged.
The room In the rear of the shoestore was
occupied by James Kennedy, a longshore-
man, 50 years old. His only means Of exit
when the store was closed was by ladder
leading to the second story of 327 Jackson
street.
When the fire broke out the neighbors re .
membered the Old man and tried to have the
firemen rescue him.
They broke open the door but could see
no one. When the flames were extinguis h ed
the firemen found the corpse Of the old man
burned TO a cinder. He was living upon his
bed with his cIinched hands upraised as II
he had been suffering intensely The body
was taken to the Morgue where an inquest
will be held to-day. Kennedy has a wife
and children from whom he has been sepa-
| rated several years.
While the flames were shooting up
through the roof of one of the old buildings
and smoke was forcing its way through all
the buildings in the vicinity, the proprietor
| of saloon fronting on Battery street
| rushed out Of his place of business with q
| cage in his hand. The cage contained a
| parrot. and as he reached the sidewalk he
was heard to exclaim, 1--WE saved my bird,
/ anyhow"
did you save your books and moneyY'
| asked bystander who had overheard the
| exclamation. q
Never mind the money or the books"
answered the saloon-keeper, I've saved my
| bird"
| In a moment. however, he changed bis
| mind. for he placed the cage on the side
| walk, told a policeman to look out for It,
| then rushed into his place of business and
a minute after came out with the monoy-tlll
| in his hands.
