Honor-'TvvO ssCommers."
HAMBURG, March 31.-One of the fea-
lures of the Bismarck celebration here was
the holding last night of "commers"
organized by the Reichstag electoral union.
Sixteen hundred admirers of the Prince
were present, and hundreds had to be turned
away from the doors owing to lack of room.
Several Senators, the President of the House
of Burgesses, officers, officials and the
elite of Hamburg society were present.
DIR. Sieveking, president of the Supreme
Provincial Court, proposed '.hochs'' for EN-
peror William. His Majestys popularity has
been greatly increased here by his graceful
attitude towards the Prince and the
'hochs,' were given with hearty good will.
DR.. Sieveking then made an eloquent speech
in which he highly eulogized the services
of Prince Bismarck to the empire. Ine
speech was received with storms OF ap-
plause.

THE RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY
It Is Guaranteed to the Citizen
by the Constitution
THE WHITNEY ACT is INVALID
An Important Decision by Superior
Judges in Bank
A natter of General Interest Throughout the
State Passed Upon-The Ques.
tlOns Involved

For some time there has been more or
less trouble over the provisions of the
Whitney act, in relation to trials for mis-
demeanors without juries, and numerous
appeals have been taken from the JUS
ticss' courts to the superior court on this
question, with view of settling this
mooted question, which is OF real interest
throughout the state. An agreed case,
in the matter of the ha abeas corpus of
Jennie Fife, was ubmitted to the super
ior court in bank, which in turn sub
mitted the matter to Judge Van Dyke.
AS rule of procedure in future cases
the Judge has rendered an opinion, con-
Cured in by Judges Mckinley and York,
holding that the right Of trial by jury il
guaranteed by the constitution, and this
will hereafter govern the lower courts of
this county at least. The opinion, which
carefully reviews the whole subject mat
ter, is given in full as follows
In re habeas corpus of Jennie Fife:
The petitioner was convicted In the po-
lice court OF the city of Los Angeles of
the crime of vagrancy. The trial was had
without a jury, no jury having been
waived. An appeal was taken to the
superior court on statement OF the case.
Tho appellant there demanded a jury;
the court, department one, affirmed the
judgment of the police court and did not
grant new trial. The Imprisonment
under this judgment is claimed to be
without authority OF law. From the fact
that similar applications have been fire.
quently made for discharge on habeas
corpus, il was thought best to consider
this case more fully, to see if some rule
coud not be adopted for the government
of the trial of cases in the police court.
BY the penal code, sections 1430-1435,
relating to proceedings in Justices and
police courts, the defendant IN a crimi-
nal action who pleads not guilty Is en-
tilted to trial by jury. (Taylor VS..
Reynolds. 92 CAL, 573.) The case re-
ferred to came up from Santa Clara
county, the plaintiff having been con-
victed in q Justices court for violation of
municipal ordinance of the city OF San
Jose an ! fined $50 or to be imprisoned
in the city prison tor thirty days. He
appealed to the superior court of that
county, where the judgment was reversed
and new trial granted. Thereupon he
demanded a trial by jury, and the Judge
made to the supreme court for a writ of
mandamus, which upun full hearing was
granted. The supreme court in passing
unon the case say his plea of lot guilty
raissd an issue OF fact which could only
te tried IN the manner prescribed by
statute, citing section 1912 of the penal
ode, which reads, Tissues of fact must
be tried by jury, unless jury trial be
waived. in criminal cases not amounting
to felony, by the consent of both parties
expressed in open court and entered in
its minutes.
The court adds; "By this section it is

as an affirmance of tpe Judgment OF the
tion was made for a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the judgment under
which the petitioner was held was lllegal
and void. The supreme court refused
to entertain the writ on the ground that
to do SO would be review of the action
of that court in dismissing the appeal
and affirming the judgment. And, on
the strength of that case, the writ Will
be discharged and the prisoner remanded.
Judges Shaw and Clark file the follow
ing concurring opinion, in which issue
is taken with some of the points raised
by the majority:
1 concur in the Judgment but l put
it upon the grouno that IN no case can
any court,ln habeas corpus proceeding,
review the action or judgment OF another
court IN a case where it had jurisdiction
to make the order Or judgm ent attacked.
Where the court did not have Jurlsdlc-
tion. whether it is this cour. or any other
court, am of the opinion that this court
can and ought to inquire into the
validity of the Judgment, but tile inquiry
should be limited solely to the question
of Jurisdiction, and if that IS found TO
exist, then the judgment should be re-
spected and no inquiry made as to
whether or not it was right upon the
merits. One Judgment upon the merits
is all that any party is entitled to,eexcept
in the case where sucn judgment is va
Gated, either by motion for new trial
or on appeal. See Ex parte Mccullough,
35 Cal. 100.
