force from that time to this. unless it was
repealed by the adoption of the new char
ter in 1892
This case has been argued by opposing
counsel as if the new charter abolished
the Police Court and conferred its powers
on the Justice of the Peace. AS matter
OF TACT, 1t does not enlarge or extend his
powers. By a general Act of 1883 JUS
tlces Courts are given powers that include
ali those Of the Police Court. 1t confers
full jurisdiction on City Justices. in the
opinion of the speaker.
he cited the case of Brooks VS.. Fisher,
In ~ Cal. Reports, case to test the le-
gality of the Los Angeles charter, where
1t was held that if any clause in the char
ter was found to conflict with the Consti-
tuition and the laws, that clause alone was
Invalid and did not affect the rest OF the
charter.
lie quoted several provisions of the
new charter specifying powers OF the
municipal court, which, he said, were all
framed subsequent to various decisions
OF the Supreme Court. The Oakland case
involved the question of drawing double
salary for doing the work OF Police
Judge in addition to that of a Justlc, as
directed in the charter. Justice Beatty,
he said, pointed out to the rest of the
court the fact that the decision in the case
OF Miller vs.. Kubenstein was squarely
overruled by the decision in the case of
the People VS.. Towle. Opposing counsel
argued that the power that created the
court was the only one that could abolish
II. This did not necessarily follow. lie
conceded that a new court could only be
established by an Act of the Legislature.
but said that it did not cover the point at
issue.
He then read the law governing the
ratification OF charter by the Legisla-
ture, which declares that when ratified,
II suDersedeS the old charter ard becomes
the organic law. Possibly many pro-
visions OF the old charter could be found
which are not touched on in the new one,
but will it be argued that because they
are specially repealed they are still in
force, or that the new charter is void on
account of the omission?
Assistant District Attorney Jones said
that as the judicial power Is vested in the
Senate and courts named, those words
mean something or they would not be
used, and that such power being vested
in them could only be taken away by the
power that vested it. He read the pro-
vision that vested jurisdiction i'll police
matters in the Justice Court, and claimed
that in so doing so it did not abolish the
Police Court, but simply gave concurrent
jurisdiction. He thought that the pro-
vision aDOlishing all Offices and positions
not stated 10 be continued, was not taken
by its trainers to abolish the Police Court,
which was already in existence and
which, as it was Instituted under the Con-
stitution, they must have known that
it was beyond their power to abolish
IL III any such manner.
Judge Catlin, when the attorneys had
concluded their arguments, announced
that he would take the case under ad
visement.

MRS. MNASSBR'S DEATH.

a Lovely Woman Passes Peacefully to
the Beyond.
Mrs. James McNasser, wife of Colonel
McNasser, died in this city on Thursday
morning. Her death was entirely unex-
pected. as she had been feeling very well.
and in company with her husband was
to start on an Eastern trip last night. She
was, however, seized with sudden at
tack of sickness during the night and ex-
pired peacefully soon after.
Colonel McNasser was an early Cali
fOrnian, although he did not settle here
till 1880, coming from Denver.
Mrs. McNasser was a true, Christian
woman, who leaves many sincere friends
to mourn her loss.
Her daughter, Mrs. ]. W. Donnelan of
Salt Lake City will arrive in Sacramento
on Saturday morning. She leaves be-
sides. three other daughters: Mrs. Oscar
Nasser and Mrs. j. A. McKercher of
Denver. She was the mother of John
McNasser, who died in this city some
years ago.
Colonel and Mrs. McNasser were mar
ried October Z, 1916, and have braved life s
troubles and enjoyed its pleasures and
successes together for nearly forty-nine
years.
Solemn requiem mass will be cele-
brated for the repose of her soul at the
Cathedral on Sunday morning at l0:30 by
Bishop Manogue.
On Sunday. from to 10, the remains
will be at her late residence, and the
funeral services will take place at the
Cathedral at 1890.
That no flowers should be used at her
funeral was often Mrs. McNasser's re-
quest during her lifetime, and as her en-
and noble actions, it is fitting that her
good deeds should shine forth in their
own sweet glory and without adornment.
The Colonel and his family have the
sympathy Of the entire community.
