A New Judicial Office Brings
Many Applicants
MANY PETITIONS PRESENTED
The Appointment Will Not Be Made for
Several Days
Argument Made for the Establishment of
Home for Inebriates Under Direction
of the Health Board

SACRAMENTO, March Ex-Governor
Budd this morning listened to the advo-
Gates of the applicants for appointment as
Superior Judge of this county. General
A. l.. Hart presented petition signed by
forty-three members of the bar asking the
Governor to appoint j. W. Hughes, an
attorney of this city, to the position OF
Judge created by the Legislature.
General Hart presented also petition
signed by the entire Board of Supervis-
ors, the two Assemblymen and the Sena-
tor from this county and large number
OF the representative business men of this
city and county who had presented them
selves in order to show their interest in
Lawyer Hughes success. There was also
presented a letter from Campbell p.
Berry and "a large number OF citizens
from Sutter county.
Attorney w. III. Devlin of this city is
also an applicant for the position.
Railroad Commissioner II. M. Larue and
others spoke in favor of ID. E. Alexander,
court commissioner, and other candidates
The Governor will not make the ap-
pointment for few days.
In the afternoon the Governor listened
to the arguments of DR.. Gavigan on his
bill establishing home for inebrates
under the control of the Board of Health,
but there is not much likelihood of his
signing it, as he said he did not believe
drunkard, should be sent under commit
ment to any but state institutions.
James O'Donnell of San Francisco ad-
dressed him on the exempt tiremen's bill,
and was told that it would be signed.
Horace w. Philbrook argued at length
in favor of the pill, which he fondly
hoped would restore him to practice.
Judging. however. from the remarks made
to him by the Governor during his argu-
ment, he has very little chance of being
relieved from his penalty.
Assemblyman Dinkelspiel was told that
his bill providing for the collection of
judgments against cities of over 100, 600
Inhabitants would be signed.
Mr.. Baker, who Represented the liquor
Dealers Protective Association. opposed
the bill for the formation of sanitary dis
tricts on the ground that it would allow
the inha bitants OF district to prohibit
saloons within it, and was told by the
Governor that the bill passed both houses
almost unanimously and he should
sign it.

S. Pierce. manager and ehief owner of
the Petaluma Electric Light and Power
Company, president q the Pierce Tele-
phone Company and PRESIDENT of the Cali
fornia Dairyman's Union, and one OF the
most wealthy and prominent citizens
was instantly killed by contact with one
of the wires late last night. Driving with
an assistant, looking for broken wires,
he latter climbed pole on the Main
;treet park, receiving a shock which
frightened him, and he Immediately de-
scended Pierce, who had been ordered
active exercise for his health, determined
to climb the pole, needless of the as
sistants warnings. He started to as
cend the pole, and on reaching the first
ground, sat on 1T with his legs
astride of the big post. He ran his
right hand several times over several
wires when suddenly he touched one
from which the insulation had been
burned. A sheet of flame shot forth and
Pierce, without a sound, dropped back
ward. His body was still on the cross
piece, and he hung with head, hands and
feet downward, two heavy wires sustain
ing the body and keeping it from falling.
Citizens soon gathered and the current
was soon shut off at the works. A hook
and ladder truck, which had been hastily
summoned, was utilized in taking the
body down. 1t was terrible task in the
storm.
The body had been on the pole for about
fifteen minutes, the current being on for
five minutes of the time. and it is esti-
mated that between 5000 and 1000 volts of
electricity passed through the body du-
ring the time the current was on. The
blackened remains were carried into an

RRADY'S BAD LICK
He Will Have to Wear Bali and Chain
Some Time Yet


Judge Shaw yesterday dismissed the
writ of habeas corpus applied for by NJ.
7. Brady, a prisoner in the county jail.
and remanded him to the custody of the
Chief OF Police. The petitioner alleged
that, whereas he had been sentenced to
the city jail for the term of thirty days to
be imprisoned therein. he was made to
work on the chain gang upon the public
streets, and asked for his dl scharge from
custody on this ground. The court held
that the prisoner is not being unlawfully
treated by having to submit to the work
prescribed by the ordinances for persons
sentenced to the city Jail. Brady was in
for thirty days for petit larceny and es-
capped from the chain gang. For the lat
ter offense he is to be led in the Police
Court this afternoon. AS he felt pretty
certain of a conviction, which will give
considerable more ball and chain display
to his leg, he tried to get away on the
strength of the unconstitutonality of the
chain gang.
