IL Was for Furnishings for
the smoking Room.
The placing Of an order for Mrs. Ogden
Armour Of Chicago with a San Francisco
firm for i 1000 worth Of japanese art work
and carving has brought TO light the fact
that when the artists shall have finished
their work in her new residence there will
be one room therein absolutely without a
peer in point OF treatment in this or any
other country. This particular room, relates
the Chicago Tribune, will be the smoking
room.
Two celebrated artists have elaborated
in the work, one furnishing the general de-
sign for the treatment Of the room, the other
working out the detail and decorations.

Instructed Delegates.
Stockton Independent }

tStOcktOn independently
Congressman Johnson's position in
opposition to instructing the delegation
from California for any Presidential
candidate is correct. While Mckinley
is the choice of an overwhelming ma
jority of Republicans of this State they
should be content with the knowledge
that such is the case, or they might ex-
press that preference in the convention,
but the delegates should not be tied
down.. California should send to st.
Louis its ablest men and rely on their
ability and fidelity to do justice to the
people. while consulting what is possi-
BILE and expedient. This will leave them
in a position to use their power to the
best advantage, while, if they were
hampered with instructions, they could
do but one thing, and other delegations,
knowing them to be bound, would have
only the alternative of yielding to them
or leaving them severely alone. Cali
fornia is for Mckinley, but he may not
win and the delegation should be free
to join the majority at the proper time.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Calling a Contract a Lease Does Not
Make Il a Lease.
A Secret Agreement That the Parties
Intended Should Take the Place
Of a Chattel Mortgage.

The Supreme Court has rendered a
decision in the case of the Stockton
Savings and Loan Society, plaintiff and
respondent, VS.. r. r. Purvis, Sheriff OF
Stanislaus County, defendant and ap-
pellant.
Plaintiff, as the owner of a certain
tract of land, entered into contract
with one Dallas to rent him the
land for a year, upon the oral agree
ment and understanding that he should
pay for the land a cash rent of 81 14O,
and it was understood and agreed be-
tween the parties that the title to the
crops raised thereon during such time
should remain in the plaintiff. The
crop was to be hauled to the nearest
warehouse and stored in the name of
the plaintiff, and from it's sale plaintiff
was to deduct the sum of 81, 14o, and
the overplus, if any, was to go to Dallas,
and no part Of the crop should be SUBJ
ject to the disposal Of Dallas.
Under the contract, Dallas entered
| upon the land and put in a crop, but
while it was growing, and prior to the
harvesting of it, Eppinger & Co., a cred
itor, attached it as the property of Dali
las, and plaintiff brought action against
the Sheriff, the attaching officer, claim
ing under the contract to be the owner
of the crop and won it,
The court says the legal soundness of
plaintiffs contention is wholly depend
ent upon the true construction of this
contract or lease. The first and control
ing rule for it's Interpretation is, What
was the intention of the parties at the
time of the making of the contract ?
Another controlling rule is that such in
tention must be gathered from the con-
tract taken as a whole, considering all
its provisions together, and not from
any one clause, considered as standing
alone. Calling a contract a lease does
not make it so. There was an express
promise to pay So, 140, and its payment
was in no wise dependent on the raising
or crop, and if the crop had been a
failure it would still have been binding
liability.
Plaintiff could, after collecting the
rent, have sold the crop. The court does
rot think this was the intention of the
parties. Where d person pays a cash
rent for land, it would seem that the
crops would belong to him. The law is
inclined to scrutinize secret contracts,
On account of the opportunities for
fraud they offer. Plaintiff could have
protected itself by taking a chattel
mortgage, but this contract was not
even in writing, and parties who sold
Dallas sacks, or furnished the labor
and machinery to harvest it, could not
attach it for labor or material furnished.
The court concludes that the contract
was an attempt to obtain the advan-
tages Of a chattel mortgage without
complying with the statute on the sub
ject. In the demand upon the attaching
officer for the>return of the property,
plaintiff did not even claim to be the
owner of the property, but simply as
serted a lien on it, and it should know

THE GRAND JURY.
One Indictment Returned, and Severs
ssAccusations.''

One Indictment Returned, and Several
.sAccusations.',
1t had been rumored that the Grand
Jury would make it's final report yes
terday, but it did not. Chairman We'll
informed a "Record-Union'' reporter
that the final report would not be ready
for perhaps two or three weeks.
The Grand Jury did, however, make
partial report yesterday afternoon to
Judge Caltlin. It embraced one indict-
ment-that of Jack Finnigan for steal
ing W. w. Chapin's horse and buggy
and several accusations against the
members of the Board of Supervisors.
These relate to the boards alleged
failure to advertise, in 1S94-95, for
bids for supplying the county officials
and hospital with articles needed, also
for allowing claims that are held to be
illegal and some that were duplicated.
Separate accusations were made
against Supervisors Jenkins and Cur
tbs for claiming mileage as Road Com
missioners.
When asked concerning these a1lega-
tions Chairman Morrison said last
evening that the board did receive bids
for office supplies. but subsequently, the
bidders got into a squabble, prices were
cut, and the county got the benefit of
the row by purchasing away below the
figures named in the bids.
AS to the so-called illegal claims al
lowed, he did not know to what the
charges referred, but it does occasion
ally happen that small demands against
the county are duplicated. Only last
month a bid for $40 was filed by ex-
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Johnson that
was a duplicate of one allowed last year
for road work. 1t was detected, how
ever, by Supervisor Jenkins, and was
not allowed. Possibly, after the lapse
of months, some item SO small as TO
escape memory might get through the
board the second time.

in its act Of striking out all appropria-
