Yesterday was quiet day at the
courts, and it was perhaps well that it
was so, for the majority of the officials
were anxiously and constantly rushing
to the numerous telephones in the build
ing to hear the latest intelligence from
st. Louis. In only two departments did
the court sit throughout the day, and
the latest convention bulletins ELECTED
the keenest interest even in them.
Judge Van Dyke handed down an
opinion ordering new trial in peculiar
surgical case. There was an applica-
ton for habeas corpus of the three men
who are at present detained on the
charge of forging time checks. The
grounds of the application were based
upon a legal technicality. and if they are
allowed to go free they will probably
be promptly arrested on the charge of
obtaining money by false pretenses.
The hearing of this case was consider
ably delayed in a vain endeavor to find
a deputy district attorney and various
messages were sent to the bulletin
boards in search of one. Two more
prosecutions for unlawfully cutting gov
ernment timber proved futile. Three
more creditors of the First Presbyter-
ian church recognized its declaration of
independence by filing fresh suits.

THE VETERAN ASSOCIATION
The Attractive Program for their Annual
Encampment
Great Preparations at Ventura-The Fourth Of
July Celebration Will Eclipse All
Previous Experiences

The Southern California Veteran as
socition goes into camp at Ventura for
ten days commencing Wednesday. July
1st, and its officers are kept very busy ar
ranging the details therefor. Com
mander Downing was seen yesterday
and states that reports sent to him from
different places In Southern California
indicate that the attendance this year
will exceed in numbers and enthusiasm
any former encampment of the asso-
citation. A program for each day has
been arranged. which promises to all
who go a period brimful of enjoyment.
The camp Is most beautifully situated
in the plaza of Ventura, close TO the
ocean, open to the delightful sea breeze
and within the rhythmic sound of the
breakers A literary and musical pro-
gram will be rendered each night in the
"big tent" size 12O feet by 60 feet, and
in addition thereto dancing will be the
order in the pavilion tent, 40 feet by SO
feet. No charge will be exacted for ad-
mission to either tent. thus furnishing
two places of free entertainment Tor
all who desire to participate. During
the encampment there will be three ex-
cursions--one to Hueneme on Thursday.
Sd. and to Santa Barbara on Monday,
July 9Th. On July 4th thepeople of Ven
tura, Santa Barbara, Santa Paula and
the neighboring towns will unite in
grand Fourth of July celebration which
promises to outdo anything or the KIND
ever experienced in Southern California.
All of the bands in the counties of Ven
tura and Santa Barbara have been en-
gagged. A monster parade of veterans,
Sons of Veterans. Regular Army and
Navy union, national guard and civic
societies will be had in the morning to
conclude with patriotic program.Judge
B. N. Smith will be the orator of the day.
The celebration of the Fourth is to wind
up at night with a magnificent display
of fireworks. General T. c. Masteller,
department commander of California,
and staff and a large number of prom
inent comrades have signified their
intention of being present during the
encampment, a number of campfires
and reunions have been arranged for,
and altogether the prospects for the
veterans and their friends having an
outing to be remembered with pleasure
are most flattering.

QUALEY IS RELEASED
The Second Case Compromised and He Goes
Forth Free Man


Forth a Free Man
Late yesterday afternoon upon mo-
ton of Deputy District Attorney James,
Justice Morrison dismissed the second
charge of grand larceny against John A.
Qualey, and the prisoner, whom the au-
thorities had sent clear to St. Louis to
secure, was released. His arrest will
cost neither the city nor the county any
thing, however, as Qualey paid all bills
of Detective Auble, who went for him,
both going and coming, as well as his
own.
When the complaints were sworn out
the district attorneys office stated that
they We're positive that enough evidence
could not be obtained to secure con-
viction. and both Mr.. Robinson and Mr..
De Groot, the complainants, swore that
they We're not prosecuting for the pur-
pose of collecting their claims alone.
This is now proven differently and the
matter has been compromised. The
whole matter bears on its face the un-
mstakable conclusion that the process
of the criminal courts has been used to
collect a civil debt.

The Circumcision Case

In the case Of Almeter VS.. Pratt the
motion for a new trial was yesterday
granted by Judge Van Dyke. who hand
ed down an opinion to that effect. The
action is for damages resulting from
alleged malpractice, and has been be-
fore the courts for a long time. The
plaintiff is a minor child and sues by
his father, and the defendant is ply
sician and surgeon of this city. The
case was tried by jury and a verdict
was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for
damages of a THOUSAND dollars. The
malpractice is alleged to have occurred
in the operation of circumcision and the
treatment thereafter. The court is of
opinion that the verdict was in accord
ance with the preponderating evidence
that an equal or greater number of
equally competent physicians, aside
from the defendant himself, gave it as
their opinion that the operation was
necessary and was properly performed.
