doubt that Henry J. Sayers's version. as sung
by the Tuxedo" company. was the first to

famous chorus. and, in a general way. the air
of the song appeared in this version as it was
in the former version which Mr. Sayers's
friend heard in St Louis and repeated TO him.
Mr.. Sayers wrote words adapted to the play in
which it was to appear. and did not take pains
to reproduce the music with exactness. Mr..

ior court Of Los Angeles county for the
purpose of condeming right Of way for
q proposed public road over the lands Of
the defendant corporation. It was in
stituted under an order made by the
board Of supervisors under section 2690
of the political code, and the appellant
contended that the proceedings before
the board OF supervisors leading up to
this proceeding were void, and therefore
the superior court had no jurisdiction
to hear the action. The contention was
that ii the action OF the board could not
be attacked collaterally in this, differ
ent proceeding, the statute in question
is unconstitutional, because it pro-
vides for the taking of private prop
erty without due process of
law. The court says that If these pro.
ceedings necessarily had the effect of
taking away the property OF the appel
liant, without affording any opportunity
in any other legal way for the appellantto
prevent this taking, there would be
much force in their proposition. But
this, the court says, is not the necessary
result They hold that 1t amounts to
nothing more than the establishment of
a rule OF evidence, and leaves an appro-
pirate remedy of direct attack on the
action OF the board before the order
shall be made declaring the land taken
a public highway, and open as provided
by law. The order denying new trial,
alone appealed from. is therefore af-
firmed.
