not legislature.
The assembly that sat at Salem two
years ago was legislature. Itdid not
adjourn leaving unconsidered several
hundred bills. some Of them important
measures, but acted upon every bill
brought before II. II passed pure ballot
law. 1t voted down all Of Jo. Simon's
corporation propositions. That session
did not elect q former well known lob
byist Of the Union Pacific for speaker
and reelected railroad com mission
for It's loyalty to the people. That was
q Legislature. II was a Republican
legislature. No party will claim any
honor for the work Of Its successor.

just Plain Demurrer.
Yesterday the waterfront company, by
its attorneys. Messrs. Martin and Moore,
filed demurrer in the suit brought by the
city for the water front. 1t is just the
plain demurrer so we'll known to law. 1t
states that the complaint is ambiguous in
not properly describing the land; that it
does not appear who is in possession, and
that it is uncertain what facts constitute a
cause of action.

Elevator Accident.

Mr.. George l.. Waters, who was acci-
dentally killed in the elevator of the Thur
low building on the 9TH inst, held two pol
icies for $1,000 on his life in the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company of New
Jersey, both of which policies had lapsed
by non-payment of premiums in NovelE-
Der last. Nevertheless both policies will
be paid IN full-S200O-to his daughter un-
der the admirable non-forfeiture an exten-
sion system OF this grand old New Jersey
company. The payment of these lapsed
policies in full, without any sort of action
by the assured, not as an act of grace and
favor, but as matter of contract and
legal obligation, furnishes the very best
illustration of the practical operation and
value of the non-forfeiture and extension
system of this company. For full particu-
lars see specimen policy and strong points

tory, pages from 1914 TO 1524s

concern, giving as his reasen for so doing
that as the matter may como before him
officially any day, he wished to be free in
the case. 81 don't like TO talk about these
cases before trial." he said. When asked
about the legal aspect OF this particular
case he remarked it Is practically the
same scheme as Thielman's, which was
decided to be a fraudulent scheme, not q
lottery. The difference Is purely techni-
cal, one scheme having consecutive num-
bers for payment of coupons. the other
soliciting q system OF rotation, which
amount ted to the same thing.
The Postoffics Inspector said he had re-
ceived no instructions from Washington
about the Western Investment Company.
He is inclined to believe that the company
does not send its bonds or communications
through the mails. but by express.
''Thielman's scheme" he said. was a
barefaced swindle. Now that this mat
ter has been brought under the notice of
the postal authorities it will be watched in
the future"

A BAD PRECEDENT.
Disagreeable Position of
Spectators.
LIKE THEILMAN'S SCHEME.
The Secretary of Concern Similar to
the Western Savings Company
Was Imprisoned.

The Western Savings Investment Com
pany of California, located in the Chron-
icle building, is on the verge of legal
complica tions with the United States
authorities, and il its officers can be de-
tected sending its bonds" through the
mails arrests will follow.
This will be unpleasant news for the
gentlemen of speculative tendencies who
have engaged in the enterprise, because
officers of like Institution in Chicago

placed in durance vile few days since for
conducting lottery. Frank l.. Thresher

secretary and treasurer, and d. E. Richie.
assistant to William.
What is still worse than the intelligence
from Chicago is that precedent which
ended in conviction exists in San Francisco
from the time NJ. C. Theilman was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for operating a
similar scheme.
On or before December l. 1890. i. E..
Eliot. E. B. Overacre. George w. Ellis.
Carl Dahlgren and NJ. c. Theilman formed
a corporation under the corporate name OF
the Eagle Insurance Society. having its
principal place of business in San Fran
cisco, and claiming by its bylaws and
articles of incorporation that its objects
were to insure its members on the mutu al
plan, and to find and give work to its
members in good standing. and to impose
the duty uron its members to protect and
always extend helping hand to each
other, Theilman was the secretary of
this enterprising and apparently benevo.
lent concern.
A comparison of the printed constitu-
ton or PROSPECTUS OF one company with
the other will show that the Western Saw
ings Investment Company of California is
not an original idea; for th is very clear
evidence that it had a predecessor here in

Piles to Come Up.
In the present controversy between the
people of Oakland on one side and the
Southern Pacific Company on the other
the citizens of Alameda have held aloof
Notwithstanding the fact that the water
front Of Alameda was closed in with a row
medately in front of Oakland, the people
of Alameda made but little remonStrance
When the Mayor and City Council of
Oakland ordered the piles in front of their
city removed, the Trustees of Alameda
addressed communication to the railroad
company and waited upon Colonel
CTocker.
1--WE are going to take up the row of
piles running from the narrow gauge mole
southwark" said Vice-President Croker
yesterday afternoon. The people of
Alameda have acted in a very quiet
manner, and we have agreed to take those
piles up and leave the matter to the decision
of the courts. We are always ready to be
met half way, and in this waterfront con-
troversy we appreciate the friendly spirit
of the people of Alameda"

the corporation, as set forth in its articles
of incorporation and bylaws, were i'm

and constituted scheme and artifice to
defraud the persons who might be induced
to become members by obtaining money
from them as entrance fees and dues with.
out consideration or benefits to such per-
sons, aud was devised with intent to de-
fraud such persons.
It was proved and the jury so decided !:
That scheme or artifice to defraud had
been devised by the defendant; that such
scheme or artifice to dsfraud was effected
by the use Of the mails of the POstoffice
establis shment Of the United States; that
for the purpose of executing such scheme
or artifce to defraud the defendant did use
the mails Of the United States.

to pay fine of $500 and be imprisoned for
eighteen months. Thellman went to San

expiration of which he paid the fine of
$500 on February Is last.
