On December l, 1879, Frank G. Edwards was
appointed Fire Commissioner by Judge Selden
S. Wright, Judge of he County Court. On June
20, 1889, Governor Waterman appointed
Thomas ]. Parsons to succeed Edwards. Inc
latter refused to give up his office. Parsons
sued and Judge Shafter ouSted EDWARDS ana
seated Parsons. Edwards appealed to the gu
preme Court, and this court reversed the JUG
ment of the lower court and seated Edwards
The grounds OF the decision as stated by Justlce
Paterson in his written opinion were that the
questions in Edwards case involved the same
principles were determined in the
Hammond Police Commission case by
which he held that the constitution OF
1879 having abolished the appointing power
and, having failed to vest power to appoint
successors to Commissioners then In ONCE In
any other person or tribunal. Mr.. Edwards was
should vest in some person the power to ap-
point his successor, expressly holding that the
expiration of the term of office did not create
vacancy, and that the Governor had no
authority to appoint Mr.. Parsons or any one
else to succeed Edwards while he was filing
the office. Governor Waterman appointed An
drew j. Martin to fill vacancy caused by the
death of Commissioner. In December, 1881,
Governor Markham appointed John ID. Daily TO
succeed Martin, and William Proll to succeed
Parsons (the case of Edw against Parsons
at that timel. Parsons and Martin both re-
fused to give up their offices. In February,
1892, the Supreme Court handed down Its
decision in the Edwards case, reseatlng Ed
wards and ousting Parsons, and thus settling
all controversies of like character at that time.

WHAT MARTINS ATTORNEYS SAY
OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF
THE CASE.

Colin NJ. Boyd was seated as member
of the Board of Fire Commissioners to
succeed A. j. Martin at special meeting
of the board at IL Am. yesterday. Mr..
Boyd was appointed by Governor Budd on
the 23d instant, and thereby hangs tale
of the past which will probably develop
into much litigation in the future.
A special meeting of the Fire Com
missioners was called to take place at IL
O'Clock, and notices to that effect were
sent out by the secretary. Mr.. Martin re-
ceiyed his notice at 10:49 AM, which gave
him thirteen minutes in which to reach
the new City Hall from his place of bust
ness at the corner of Bush and Kearny
streets.
Mr.. Martin had a suspicion of what was
to come, and he Immediately proceeded to

gerty, of the firm of Knight & Heggerty,

Ex-Mayor Ebert wrote in similarly en-

thought that the community has suddenly
woke up from its Rip Van Wrinkle slum-

the future: He said:

The burglars who stayed to supper at

THE SOUTHERN FIESTA.
Fresno Sends Delegation to Confer With the
Merchants

Fresno Sends Delegation to Confer With the
Merchants.
The Merchants Association of San Fran
cisco has taken active steps to make the
fiesta at Los Angeles and Santa Barbara
successful.
In order that both ends of the State NAV
come together and work in harmony a
committee was suggested to the Half
million Club yesterday, and by that body
appointed to carry out the arrangements
OF transportation between the north and
south and return.
In this regard H. P. Sonntag, George A..
Newhall. |. W. Hellman Jr., Frank Dali
ton and HI. J. Croker were selected as the
finance committee of the organization
They will meet this afternoon in the office
of the Union Trust Company, to consider
the business appertaining to their end of
the arrangements. Sessions will be held
every afternoon at o'clock until the work
of the committee has ended, but this after
noon they will assemble in room 30 on the
second floor of the Mills building i'm
mediately upon the adjournment of the
meeting of the Half-million Club.
The object OF this meeting is to outline a
plan for the financial success of the north
ern end of the two fiestas.
In this matter they will not be alone,
for the Fresno Board of Trade has dele
gated Arthur R. Briggs to represent that
section of the country. Before the COM
mittee assemblies it is expected that other
interior towns will have elected delegates
to represent their interests in the move
ment.
Probably no better idea could be given
of the proposed fiesta and the expectations
of the same than is conveyed in the re-
marks of w. M. Bunker, who said:
We of this city and Northern California are
going to the floral festival. at Santa Barbara
and FULLY prepared to enjoy and appreciate to
the fullest extent the climate, scenery and
flowers of that favored country. We propose
| TO go with the intention of winning the respect
and attention of the people Of Southern
California.
When return we will bring with us such
residents OF Southern California and such resi-
| dents OF the East as may desire to see our por-
ton of the State. We will treat those visitors
| cordially, and endeavor to make their visit one
of mutual pleasantly and cordiallty.
Under the new condition of affairs the man
who proposes to stay our progress should be
shot on the spot
Wemust show the interior from one end OF
the State to the other that this city is big
enough broad enough and strong enough to
lend assistance to every section without re-
garding itself.
We must keep pace with the spirit of prog.
ress and we must above all things show to the
people OF the interior that the days of mis-
Interpretation, narrowness and prejudice have
passed away forever, and that the act oil
courtesy, from which we derive great benefit
| must be performed in graceful way.
| This we will do first, last and all the time.

The sisters and brothers and other relatives
of Frank L. Smith, who died in possession of
an $4,000 estate, have combined to break the
will, by which it is all left to his brother Ter
rance. 1t is alleged that while the testator was
down with his last illness at Terrances house
he came unduly under his brothers influence,
and that the estate thereby became diverted
from its natural trend in their direction TO the
pockets of Torrance. The estate was all left to
him, and hence the trouble.

pay for four miles Of transportation. Sim
liar charges have been made In times past
by residents of other communities located
along the Washington branch of the B.

the accusations have invariably failed to
do anything practical. There should be no
difficulty in establishing beyond question
