r1artinez Held In $4,000 Bail

The preliminary examination of Mar
tinez on q charge of rape occupied most
of the time in the township Justice !
court yesterday, tie result OF which was
that he was held to answer in $4,000
bonds. From the testimony it appears
that the incestuous brute ravished his
own daughter when she was only II years
OF age and continued his illicit relations
with the child for three years. As re.
suit the girl became a mother about a
year ago. To add to the enormity of the
offense the practices we're Kept up in the
house where the mother was, and the girl
testified that her father frequently left
his own bed, after be had retired with
his wife, and went into her room adjoin-
ing. after his wife went to sleep, forcing
her to yield to his wishes. The girl Is
now in good bands and will he we'll taken
care of. Martinez did not seem to appre-
ciate the position in which he was placed,
and frequently laughed during the time
that the child was telling her horrible
story. The crime is, in some respects,
one Of the worst in the criminal history
of the state.

THE LAW IS VERY plain
Two City Officials Who Can Be
Made to Go
GISh AND HULL WILL FIGHT
The City Treasurer's Office Can Also
Be Abolished
The Civil League, However, 10 Not After
Hsrtwell, Because His Removal
Would Be Too Radical

City Assessor George Hull and City
License and Tax Collector John H. Gish
will soon be out of Job if the Citizens ,
league can bring that result about. and
it looks as il both officials can really be
legislat ed out OF Office.
The last legislature enacted a law CIV
ing to cities of the first class the power
to abolish the offices of city treasurer,
city licenseand tax collector and city as
SCISSOR. The act can be found on page 219
of the statutes OF 1855.
With the aid of City Attorney W. +.
Dunn, Herald reporter was yesterday
enabled to find the provisions of the new
act. The law is very voluminous affair
and provides for the adjustment of the
official positions named by the passage
| of Two separate ordinances, one of which
is to prescribe bow the proposed amaign-
nation to the county offices of the same
rank can be brought about, and the other
declaring the municipal positions vacant,
as stated.
Most of the members of the council APP
| pear to be in favor OF the proposed inno-
walton, which has caused something of q
sensation about the city ball. The Civil
league is not after the scalp OF the city
treasurer. its officers claiming that the
adjustment of that position would tend
to too radically tear the city charter into
smithereeDs.
Tie new law provides that such duties
of the tax collector as the collection of
licenses shall be performed by the chief
of police, while The Work of the assessor
not to be performed by the county asses
sor Is to be looked after by the city clerk.
The board OF supervisors and not the
city council will hereafter equalize the
city tax rolls, the county auditor being
required on the second Monday in August
of each year to turn over TO the council u
statement of the total taxable property of
the city.
There appears to be a question as to
whether or not the new law is constitu-
tional, but Che onus of making an issue
in the matter is to be placed upon the
two officials who are to be legislated out OF
office. The civil league has given it out
that Its members are not after Gish and
Hull, but they are determined to break
, up what they call the system of indis-
criminate deputies in both offices for
| which the tax payers are compelled to
foot the bills. Both Gish and Hull will
fight the attempts to remove them
through all the courts of the state.
City Attorney Dunn is not prepared to
discuss the legal phases of the question.
The special committeeof the council which
has the mat o. IN charge has not yet con-
suited with him upOn the subject. Should
the rovisions of the law go into effect.
the county will foot the bills for tho col
lection and assessment of city taxes, the
board of supervisors deducting the cost
of the WORK from the funds Of the city
before the latter are turned into the city
treasury.

Lennon testified that he caught the men

placed on trial. In the midst of the ar
gument in the latter case the Jury in the
first case having failed to agree, Assist
ant District Attorney Williams suggested
that as about the same conditions would
prevail last night as on the night the
crime was committed, it would be a good
idea to take the jury to the spot and al
low them TO demonstrate for themselves
whether it was possible for the policeman
to have seen the act. as he swore he had,
and which defendants denied, this appa-
rcntiy being the snag on which the jury
In the previous case had struck. The
suggestion was accepted. and the court
