THOSE WATER FRONT CASES
1t Is Thought the Supreme Court
Will Reconsider
MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED
Brief History of Case That Means
Much to Cities
Senator Stewart of Nevada Says That Sand
Lot Politics Was the Cause Of All
the Litigation

Washington, March 17.-There are rea-
sons for believing that the Supreme Court
will soon reconsider it's opinion in the
Oakland, CAL, water front cases. The
title of this suit is The State of California
VS.. The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and the title indicates the two
principal parties to the contest, though
the city of Oakland has also been per-
mitted to appear in it for the protection
of its interests. The cases involve the
title to about 5000 acres of land supposed
with its improvements to be worth several
million dollars, and its adjudication will
involve several nice points of law, among
which will be the right of state to dis
pose of its domain except for public uses,
and for a city to sell property acquired
from state on trust, and also possibly
some construction of the terms OF the
original grant of the land embraced in
the state of California to the United
States by Mexico.
When the town of Oakland was incor-
porated the entire water front was granted
to the town and it was afterward sold or
leased-it Is a question of dispute which,
to one Horace W. Carpenter, on condi-
ton that he build wharves and afterwards
selling the water front to the Southern
Pacific, which now occupies the land and
it is represented that the state refuses to
allow its use to anyone else The effort
on the part of the state and city is to
have this title declared void. The railroad
company maintains the validity of its
title and also sets up that there is an
amicable settlement of it's entire question
between the railroad people and the city
in 1864.
Referring to this statement Senator
Stewart, who appears for the company,
says it was entirely satisfactory to the

politics swept over the state and filled the
offices of the municipality with persons
willing to take all that other people had
and surrender nothing which they them
selves had -

morning. Investigation showed that Nc

rounding his death show that it was de-

Farlane had been brooding for several
days over business embarrassments and in

had tried and failed so often since he
came on the Board of Trade that he was

that he met defeat again Saturday, which

The Single Tax Attacked

Mr.. W. H. Stuart yesterday sent the
following attack on the single-tax theory
to The Herald. The presence in the city
of louis f. Post, the official lecturer Of
the Single Tax League, and of Mr.. Lau-
renee Gronlund, the apostle of Socialism,
gives the question of economics great
prominence at present, and Mr.. Stuarts
contribution will be read with interest.
To the Editor of The Herald: The object
of the single tax is to make land common
property. ''To do so" to quote Henry
George, it is not necessary to confscate
the land; we can confiscate rent" There
fore, the confscation of rent is equivalent
to the contiscaton of the land; single
takers admit and defend this.
It is contended that rent represents rob-
berry, because land is not a product of
labor but gift of nature, to which all
should have equal access. Admitting the
justice of their contention, it yet remains

FASHION IN OLD JERUSALEM.
The Jewesses of Ancient Times Were Cor
Eeously ARRIVED Indeed.

The Jewesses of Ancient Times Were Cor
seously Arrayed Indeed.
As far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gayly
dressed women in Jerusalem. The
Prophet Ezekiel tells Of them. They had
garments of silk adorned with broidered
work. Their bodies were swathed in fine
linen. They had shoes Of badger skin.
They wore ornaments of gold and sill
yer, rings in the ears, bracelets on the
wrists, a chain around the neck, a jewel
over the brow and a crown upon the
head
The prophet speaks of the earrings
which were worn by tho women of Je-
rusalem, but these ornaments We're worn
by Jewesses ages before the time Of
Ezekiel, even in the days of Moses and
earlier yet. There were earrings among
the other gifts in the oblation given to
Moses, as described in the book Of Mum
beIs. The first Biblical reference to
them is in the part of Genesis which
tells how Rebekah obtained as a gift
golden earring Of half a shellel weight"
from Abraham's servant, who put it
upon her face. At a later period the
patriarch Jacob procured all the ear
rings which belonged to his household
and hid them under an oak tree. Sub
sequently to that time earrings are fire.
quently spoken Of in the Bible. Even
Job, the patient man of w, must have
owned a lot Of them in the latter part Of
his life, for when all his brethren and
all his sisters and all his acquaintance
came to comfort him under his afflic-
lions "every one Of them gave him an
earring Of gold. -
In the very early periods of Jewish
history women seem to have been as
fond of dress and decorations as they
are in modern times. When the daugh-
tiers Of Jerusalem were appareled and
bejeweled in the way described by
Ezekiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive as
those of the grand danes who now shine
in society The wearing Of "divers col
ors, " however, does not seem to have
been a mark of honor. New York Sun.

sELF DEFENSE.
the Lac Relating Thereto Laid Down by
the Supreme Court.

A United States district judge in
Arkansas instructed a jury that every
where except within his own house the
law requires a man to run away and do
his best to escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The judge further
said that when assaulted ON his own
premises, but outside Of his house, a
man must show his sense Of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant to save himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons Of
assault consisted Of knives, bludgeons,
swords, etc, which an active man had
some chance of escaping. Bat n is not
applicable to these days of revolvers
and winchesters, whose bullets no man
can dodge or outrun, and the United
States supreme court has sent it to the
black letter lumber garrett
The man sentenced to eight years
imprisonment by the Arkansas judge
obtained from the supreme court an or

ton. This new instruction declares that

right to be there and if he has not him

fies him III standing his ground and

able circumstances arc such as to salts

for believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to protect
himself from great bodily harm.

of the many states in which a man may
have to decide very hastily whether he
shall be tried for killing a fellow citi-
zen or let the fellow citizen DO tried for
killing him. In these cases, with his
attention excitedly fixed on his assail-
ant, he has no time to get legal advice
or to study the necessities Of the situas
tion through the eyes Of bystanders

MARRIAGE IN KOREA.
A Simple Ceremony, but with It Come
the Dignity Of Manhood.

the Dignity Of Manhood.
Korean girls, according to Mr. H. S.
Saunderson, after enjoying freedom till
they are years old, are consigned to
the women S quarters, where they live
in seclusion till they are married at 16
or 2 years. After marriage the woman
is allowed to see no man but her hus-
band. The boys, on the other hand, are
taught that it is undignifed for them to
enter the women's part Of the house.
They never see their brides till the we'd
ding day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and groom
are infants.
The marriage ceremony is very sim
pie. The bride and bridegroom invite
their most intimate friends to assist
them in dressing their hair in the man
ner befitting their new estate. Then the
bridegroom mounts white pony, which
is led by two servants, while two others
ON either side support the rider in his
saddle. Thus he proceeds to the brides
house, accompanied by his relatives. At
their destination they find a pavilion
erected in the courtyard of the house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival A goose (the
Korean symbol Of fidelity, which the
bridegroom brings with him, is then
produced
The bride, who has to cover her face
with her long sleeves, and the bride
groom then bow to each other until
their heads almost touch tho ground.
This they do three or four times and are
then man and wife. A loving cup is
passed round, and then the bride is
taken off to the women's apartn Of
her husband S home, " here she is ked
after by her mother and mother ",
while the groom entertains his Ills.
The husband must maintain his wife
properly and treat her with respect.
Marriage is the great event in ~
rean IS life, for he then attains l4..l
estate Before marriage, no matter how
old he may be, he is treated as boy,
and has to maintain deferential atti-
tude toward the married men, even
though they be only half his age.-Pop-
