His Attorney Argues on Legal Points
All Day.
The trial of Whitley" Hayes was be-
gun before Judge Hinkson yesterday
morning. District Attorney Ryan con-
Quoted the prosecution and w. A. An
derson appeared as attorney to the de-
tense. The jury was composed as fol-
lows: Frank Z. Lowell, James Robin
son, NJ. +. Huff, W. \. Coyle, c. Iser.
George f. Bronner, NJ. L. Jones, II. c..
Megerle, Dennis Maroney, L. Fabian, A.
Ditmar, L. Toomey.
Hayes was accused Jointly with w. J..
Cook of having robbed Herman Bukkila,
a Russian Finn, in the Favorite Saloon.
on X street, kept by Cummings. Cook
was tried and convicted on Wednesday,
having demanded separate trial.
Attorney Anderson objected TO the
statement of the District Attorney that
the deposition of Bukkila had been taken
and would be introduced in evidence
lie also objected to the return of the
Sheriff on the subpoena that he had used
due diligence to find Bukkila and claimed
that the prosecution must prove that
Bukkila was not IN the State. He made
stubborn fight on the latter point,
which consumed The morning session.
When court convened in the afternoon
Judge Hinkson examined Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Jones and the Deputy
Sheriff, who served the subpenas, as TO
what diligence had been used i'll trying
to find Bukkila. After such examination
the court stated that he himself had asked
Bukkila if he would attend the trial and
would keep the District Attorney in
formed as TO his movements, and lie had
promised to do So lie thought il would
have been folly for The District Attor-
ney To try to find Bukkils in any other
county, as he had no basis on which to
make search. He should therefore hold
that due diligence had been used in try
ing to find the witness.
Attorney Anderson excepted, and then
argued that the deposition was
not authorized and was not COM
petent to be introduced in evidence;
that being taken through an Interpreter,
it was only hearsay evidence, and tina: the
deposition taken at the preliminary ex-
animation was the only one that should
be considered. He argued at length on
the point of hearsay evidence, quoting
from Supreme Court decisions and claim
Ing that they were i'll his favor.
The District Attorney took the opposite
ground and said the Supreme Court had,
only last week, rendered decision di-
rectly opposite to the position taken by
Mr.. Anderson, in the decision of the case
of Chin Hame and Hoey Yen Sing, where
a similar point was raised, Lee Hong be-
ing the interpreter.
The court said that the point was an
important one, not only TO the people,
but to the defendant. He was not satis-
fed as to the law from the decisions
quoted and wanted to examine into it
further. lie wished the attorneys to fur
nish him with the decisions quoted, and
would adjourn court till this morning.

BUY YOUR PIANOS DIRECT.
First Hands-LOw Price-0ne Profit
Save Your Money.

You need not pay three profits, and
pay as much for cheap pianos as for first
class instruments. Can a local agent to
whom pianos are consigned by san
Francisco dealer, who gets them some
where else, sell as low as you can buy
direct from the factory? Is there any
reason in such statement?
kimball pianos are the best that all the
money, skill and experience of this in
telligent age can produce.
The music trade. the profession, the
greatest artists living, and the Interna-
tiOnal Jury of the Worlds Fair, all unite
i'll declaring that they are the best. ,zz,s, ,za.,
With every instrument you get the
kimball Company's guarantee, which is
as good as Government bond. What
more can you wish?
This elegant stock of new pianos and
organs is selling rapidly, every day, and
as advertised. this sale will close Satur-
day evening.
You cannot afford to let this oppor-
tunity slip, or pay much higher prices
elsewhere for greatly inferior instru-
ments. Come promptly, tor the stock is
being reduced rapidly.

1t Was Not Proven That Charles Lam

Charles Lansing was yesterday exam
ined in Justice Henry's Court on a
charge of grand larceny growing out of
the theft of bicycle belonging to Robert
McCreary, and discharged.
The wheel was taken by someone from
beneath the porch of his residence, at
Tenth and l. streets, about month ago.
and was subsequently found at q cyclery
In San Francisco, where it had been left
by Lansing to have certain alterations
made, he having sold it for $50 TO resi-
dent of that city named Il. w. Burns
There was no testimony to connect
young Lansing directly with the theft
of the wheel, and he testified positively
that he purchased it for $50 from youth
named Dan Ellis, VINO told him he had
bought and owned the wheel, but needed
money and was obliged to sell it. Lam
sing rode the bicycle from this city to
San Francisco, and there sold il TO Burns
for the sum named. receiving S25 down.
The other $50 was 10 be paid after he had
had the alterations made.
1t was also shown that Lansing held a
bill of sale of the wheel from Ellis, and
that after he was arrested in San Fran
cisco he telephoned to this city TO have
Ellis arrested.
There was testimony to the effect that
the defendant had told conflicting stories
to friends as to how he came in possession
of the stolen wheel, also that he said he
had ridden it to \ Yoseinite, but in his own
testimony nothing was said about his
having been there.
Assistant District Attorney Jones con-
Quoted the prosecution, and General L. j.

THE IMP RESSIVE JEWISH SERVICES.
Consequent on the Festival of Rosh
Hoshono.
How the Occasion Was Observed Yes-
terday - Services in the
Synagogue.

The Synagogue was we'll filled yester-
day morning for the services of the Jew
ish festival of Rosh Hoshono, or New
Year, and the business streets showed
correspondingly deserted appearance. the
stores and other business places owned
by that nationality being all closed in OBJ
servance OF tho festival.
At the Synagogue Rabbi Simon offici-
ated, assisted by NJ. Luxemberg, the
San Francisco cantor, who has come up
to officiate at the festival. Much more of
the services than has been lately the case
were conducted in Hebrew, in Difference
to the preference of the orthodox Jews,
who were, for the first time in several
years, worshiping in unison with their
liberal brethren.
The music, rendered by Mesdames
Ross and Hawley and Messrs. Cohn and
Crocker, was unusually fine, and Mrs.
Henry Thompson acted as orgsnist.
Rabbi Simon took for the central idea
OF his discourse the thought, There Is
Cod" The superstitious, he said, were
now bowed down in fear and awe OF some
awful punishment for their past sins,
and throughout the next ten days will
wait anXlously for the Day of Atone
ment, when they should be relieved of
the burden. The more modern look up
to God as q God of love and kindness,
who rules the world in mercy and Justice.
Ia spite Of ourselves, said he, once
In while We become atheistic. We do
not mean to, although once it was a tad.
InIngs go wrong; sorrow and diappoint.
ment come TO US; death invades our
homes and takes away our dear ones and
we ask, can there be a God?" Another
class, that think they are Intelligent,
see the threatening storms rise and mis-
fortune threatening, and think that God is
only represented thus. They do not see
the other side OF the clouds, and forget
ali the blessed things that they have eX
perienced. Things may often appear to
| be wrong, but they are right after all.
The sun seems TO rise and set and go
| round the earth, but we know it does not.
If we could view the world. we would
find that everything is in harmony and
working together.
Deep in our hearts dwells the sentiment
that has been the glory of mankind Tor
| thousands OF years. Civilized or bar
barous, the heart of man acknowledges
and worships Supreme Being-a source
or life. of light, of joy. 1t always asks
the question, "Nh no created all these
things?" If we search we will find God
in all His works. Wherever we look we
see power, law and wisdom.
The ten days between New Years and
the Day of Atonement are termed the ten
days OF penltence, and the orthodox Jew
will on each OF these days read the
Selichoth, or prayers for forgiveness. He
/ will also keep to-day, until evening, AS
/ part OF the New ears festival.

to contract or refuse to do so, but it be-
came its duty upon demand to furnish
gas to the city, irrespective of the status
OF it's President
This duty to furnish gas to the city de-
voiyed upon the respondent, not by vir-
tue OF any contract, but by operation of
law. and hence the laws governing ordi-
nary contracts resting in the volition of
the parties thereto has no application.
Where the law affiXes penalty for the
performances of an act its perform
ance should not be adjudged illegal or
subject the party performing to the i'm
pllcatlon of having violated duty.
Had the city OF Sacramento been in
need OF the land of its Mayor pursuant to
some public use. and had it, by proceed
tngs for the condemnation thereof, under
the law of eminent domain succeeded to
the title, the proceeding would have
been SO far an adversary one that there
would have been no liability on the part
of such Mayor for violation of Section
I'll of the city charter, hereinbefore
quoted.
The case at bar does not differ essen
TALLY in principle from the one supposed.
Section 2ll of the city charter which lnhib-
lts It's officers from being interested in any
contracts or sales to the city involving
the payment of money from its treasury,
right or privilege granted by the city
while they are in office, is, except as to
the penalty imposed thereby, in sub
stance declaration of the common law
as 1t previously existed, and is founded
in wisdom and justice.
1t is intended as a shield to the city
against the selfishness and greed OF offi-
elals, but was not intended anyway to be
used as medium by which the city can
take the property Of others without their
consent under the form of law, and then
refuse to pay therefor it's reasonable
worth, because an officer of the city is in
terested In such property.
We hold that Section oil of the city
charter has no application TO case like
the present, where the gas company is re-
qulred by positive law to furnish gas to
the city upon demand, and having fur
nlshed the commodity has presented its
bill for the reasonable value thereof, al
though the Mayor of the city owns stock
IN the gas company and is President
thereof
The city having received and used the
gas pursuant to righ. which 1t enjoyed
independent Of the volition of respondent,
is IN equity and conscience bound TO pay
the reasonable value thereof
he Judgment appealed from should be
affirmed.
The decision is by Supreme Court Com

Commissioners Van Clief and Haynes.
