THE RAINES LAW.
DIR. Funk Denounces it and Says it
is Not Enforced.

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-At a meeting
of the American Temperance Union
which was held to-day in Chickering
Hall, and at which Rev. DR. c. II. Mead,
President of the Union, presided, Rev.
DR.. l. j. Funk, editor of the Voice."
denounced the Raines law, Senator
Raines, city officials and police officers
of the city and Brooklyn and charged
officers with neglect of duty.
He demanded the dismissal of some
of the officers and Commissioner of Po-
lice Wells of Brooklyn, who, he said,
should be sent to the penitentiary for
trading off law for votes DR.. Funk
said in part: 1T is a gross trifling with
the public. 1t is a roaring farce for
Senator Rafnes and his committee to
come here and ask whether the Raines
law has been violated and why it has
not been enforced.
That the law has been violated on all
SIDES ever since it has been put in force
with the knowledge of Senator Raines,
with the knowledge of every newspaper
man in the State, with the guilty
knowledge of the police of New York
and Brooklyn and with the guilty
knowledge Of the District Attorneys and
worst Of all, of the officers appointed
under the law to see to its enforcement. .
A report from inspectors of the union
showing violation OF law and order in
this city was read.

SMUGGLING CONSPIRACY
Discovered in Newfoundland THROUGH
Tobacco Seizures.

ST. JOHNS On. F), Dec 13.-An au-
dacious smuggling conspiracy has been
discovered through the recent seizures
of contraband tobacco at Fortune Bay.
The tobacco was brought from the
United States packed in special boxes.
two OF which were intended to be con-
ceaied in lobster cases and exported to
England, where the duties on tobacco
are very heavy. Immense quantities of
canned Holsters are exported from New
foundland to England yearly, which
has enabled this practice to be pur-
sued with slight risk of detection.

THE LOTTERY DEALERS.
Chinese Sports Who Claim Certain
Rights Under the Law.

The city police want to inaugurate a
crusade against the lottery dealers in
the city, but they are confronted with a
legal difficulty.
The principal streets of the city have
been infested with places kept by Chi
namen whose main source of revenue
has been the selling of lottery tickets.
Chief Glass gave orders that they should
all be served with notices to quit the
premises they occupied and as result
seventy-four of these notices were
served.
1t appears. however, that these Chi
namen intend to stand upon their rights
in the matter. The proprietors of the
buildings say that they cannot force
their tenants out without thirty days
notice, and so. however willing they may
be. they can't get rid of their undesir-
able tenants Section 1876 of the code
makes misdemearor on the part of
any ore letting premises for the pur-
pose of carrying on any illegal business
and the property holders can be held
to answer if they show amy favor to the
lottery dealers. Meantime the police
are rather nonplused as to the legal
status OF the case. Are these Chinese
brethren to be permitted to carry on IL
legitimate traffic in premises rented jus.
for the purpose, and right under the
roses of the police, or may they be
thrown out, neck and crop?
Upon that question the district attor-
ney will give his opinion today.

THE SARGENT CASE.
A Husband Who Loses by Being Too
Lenient

About three months ago a divorce was
granted in the suit of Sargent VS.. Sar-
gent. and at that time a contract was
made providing for a division of the
property interests. The husband came
into court lately seeking to have the
contract Cancelled on the ground of
fraud.
Yesterday Judge Shaw handed down
an opinion upon the case and giving
Judgment for the defendant, Mrs. Grace
NJ. Sargent. The court, in passing upon
the merits of the case, says: THE evil
dence of the plaintiff impresses me as be-
ing in general more worthy of belief than
that of the defendant. 1 therefore find
that the facts alleged in the complaint,
as constituting the fraud perpetrated by
the defendant upon the plaintiff, as a
result of which the plaintiff signed the
contract sought to be Cancelled, are suf-
ficiently proven. But 1 do not think the
plaintiff has shown sufficient diligence
in beginning the action to rescind.
From the evidence I believe that
plaintiff within a sort time after he sign
ed the contract was put upon inquiry at
least as to the fraud he complains of
And he says now that he suspected it at
that time. The most satisfactory con-
clusion from all the evidence is that he
had good reason to believe and did be-
lieve, within a day or two after the max
ing of the contract, that the defendant
did not intend to perform the promise
by means of which she induced him to
sign it. This being so, the fact that he
waited more than two years before at
tempting to revoke or rescind it is suf-
ficient to defeat his action. Civil code
section 1899; Martin VS.. Burns Wine
Co., SO Cal, 355; Bailey vs. Fox, rs Cal,
3S9; Gamble VS.. Trip, SO Cal. 223.)
Moreover after he had this knowl-
edge of the fraud. he continued for over
two years to make the payments pro-
vided for in the contract without any
objection and so far as appears, with
out any intima ton to the defendant that
the payments were not made in pursu
ance of the contract, and am constrain-
ed to believe they were so made. This
constitutes a waiver of the fraud and
an affirmance of the contract" (Noun-
nan VS.. Suffer Land Co., 81 Cal, L. Mar

boundary line separating two ranches in

In the foreclosure suit of G. T. Cochran
VS.. H. r. Parcels, ct al, Judge Mckinley
yesterday gave judgment for the plain
tiff in $500.
A few years ago S. N. Niles and Larkin
Snodgra SIS laid off a street running from
Washington to Twenty first street and
named it Trinity street. The city has
laid claim to it as having been set out
for street property, but to this Niles
takes exception and has brought suit
against the city. The case was submit
ted on briefs yesterday, in department
six. Niles contended that he had the
street originally made as a private drive
into his barn and it was never dedicated
to the city. He has now run fence
down the street for thirty yards, thus re-
claiming the portion of the street he
claims as his.

thing before and will again. Sundry
trusts. syndicates and monopolistic cor
porations succeed fairly well in this d.
rection, and If it is right for them 1t
would seem reasonable for a small but
very substantial little burg like Pasa-
dena to arrogate to itself such power.
There are difficulties in the way, 1t is
true. and an illustration of this occurred
yesterday, when Messrs. Laid dnd
Hughes sought in department one to
have H. Jackson and John McGinty
released from Jail on habeas corpus.
1t is we'll known fact that Pasadena
is a temperance town-that Is that in
temperance is practiced only sub rosa
and the selling of anything in the way
of alcoholic liquors Is made an ofrense
against the law, as well as against the
peace and dignity of the openly godly
little town. The ordinance prohibiting
the sale of liquors provides as the maxi
mum punishment for it's infringement
ninety days imprisonment in the county
Jail, but when Jackson and McGinty
We're sentenced in the Justices court
the former was fired 5000 or the same
number of days in Jail, and the latter
1925 or 125 days in jail.
The mode adopted of levying fine,
with the going to Jail simply as an al
tentative, seemed meek and holy at

a good stiff punishment without SEEM
ing TO Knock a chunk off that portion Of
the ordinance which relates to the maxi
mum term of imprisonment. The matter
was taken some time ago into Judge
Van Dykes department on the ground
that the Judgment in each case being an
entirety" and altoge Their in excess of
the time prescribed by the ordinance,
they were null and void. Or to put it
palmer. the ninety days specified in the
ordinance being the extreme penalty,
which We're the legal days which the
defendants would have to suffer impris-
onment? The first ninety. or the last?
Or should a few days be Topped off the
first of the sentence and a few off the
last part, leaving the legal ninety in
the middle? There being nothing in
the judgment to show this, counsel
claimed the whole sentence was a nulli-
ty.
Judge Van Dyke was of the opinion
that the supreme coyrt had held that
such sentence must be taken as an
entirety, and that on habeas corpus
proceedings the defendants should be
discharged. yet IS the defendants had
not served the full term for which they
might have been legally sentenced, he
would like the supreme court to pass
upon the matter.
The point could not he brought before
the supreme court while sitting here
as there was press of business and
then the prisoners had put in the full
ninety days, and the original point
raised became of little or no Importance
Yesterday the point argued before
Judge Smith was the ability of any
court to inf1ict punishment upon a
defendant in excess of that defined in the
ordinance.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.

ON HABEAS CORPUS
A Defendant Kept Boxed Up in Jail for
Three Weeks.

Just before Rosinda Rosas, the Mex

ted the horrible murder at the San Fer

G. Capistrano and Mrs. Hannah Brown
arrested. She charged them with hav-
ing burglarized her house and having
stolen So.
Yesterday Attorney w. T. Blakely APP
peared before Judge Smith and succeed
ed in having Capistraro discharged on
a writ of habeas corpus. The law pre-
scribes that defendant must have a
hearing within six days from the time
of his arrest, and Capistrano had lain
in Jail for three weeks

effort this mornoing in behalf of Mrs.
Brown.
