MR.. BRUNER EXPLAINS

To the Editor of the San Francisco Cdll-SIR:
Du.ing my absence from Sacramento on my
summer vacation certain proceedings were
had in the case of Claus Spreckels vs. w. R.
Hearst and others before Notary Craig and in
the Superior Court of San Francisco touching
the question of the power of notary public
to punish for contempt committed before
him. Certain statements were made by THE
CALL and by Attorney Grove L. Johnson in the
issues OF THE CALL of August 10, IL and 3.
from which it was made to appear that the at
torneys tor the Bee had advanced IN court
the law point that notary public had power
to punish for contempt, and that by reason Of
our argument point has been gained for our
client, the Bee.
In the issue Of THE GAIL of August IL it was
made to appear, unadvisedly, of course, that
Mr. Reddy OF the firm of Reddy. Campbell d
Metson, associate counsel with Bruner g.
Brothers in defense of the Bee libel suits, had
elaporately argued in the Superior Court of
Sacramento County that notary public had
power to punish in contempt. In the issue of
THE CALL Of August IS Mr.. Reddy stated that
he had n OF so argued, in fact, had made no
argument whatever In the Bee case ''it hav-
ing been argued by Eiwood Bruner.' What
position he may have taken l do not Know"
The facts are as follows: MIR. Reddy did not
argue the matter at all in the Superior Court
of Sacramento County and did not file any
brief in the case. Inc oriei a,ea a WIN p Juoae
Brothers and in the list OF authorities sent us
by Mr.. Reddy and in the brief filed by my
firm with Judge Johnson the question of the
power of a notary to punish for contempt wss
OF men toned 1 argued the case orally be-
fore Judge Johson, aud as that point was not
involved in the matter in any degree ltwas not
argued. Jud<e Johnson did not decide the
m after at issue upon tn at point, but, antici-
pating the question might probably arise in
the course OF the several libel suits pending
against the Bee, chose 10 decide 1t at that
time and so stated in his written opinion.
If you win kindly make this correction in
the columns of THE CALL think that it will
set at rest the uncertainty which exists. and
at the same time do an act of justice to all
concerned ELwooD BRUNER.

LIGHTNING EXPRESS TO DAWSON.

People afflicted with the Klondike gold
mania who missed the early boats and
are now worrying about having to wait
until spring before they can push through
to Dawson may take heart If hope.
Science and inventive genius may inter-
vene in their behalf and ship them TO the
placer fields of the Northwest Territory at
the very season when overland travel is
deemed almost impossible under existing
conditions. and when the rivers of Alaska
are frozen solid.
If the plan, under way are carried to
perfection, mid winter trip to the towns
Just under the Arctic circle will be more
OF picnic than hardship, and the dis
covery of the north pole will be no trick
at all. In fact we may yet behold relief
expeditions setting out for Andree and
Peary over the hills of eternal snow and
away to the open Polar SEA, with no more
attendant excitement as regards the seri.
business of the undertaking than would be
the case If the trip were being made in o
Pullman car. 1t is too bad that Andree
and Peary couldn't have waited and taken
advantage of the new Yankee contrivance.
Then we might have expected to see them
whizzing back into civilization and higher
temperature at any time. and dragging
the north pole behind their car OF victory.
An electric-sleigh service is contem-
plated for Klondike travel. 1t will carry
passengers over the snow almost as fast
as lightning express trains on steel tracks
can run-sixty miles an hour on a smooth
surface.
These seighs will be models of comfort
and convenience, and the Pullman-car
tourist will feel perfectly at home in
them. They will be furnished with up
holstered berths and heated and lighted
by electricity. Passengers. baggage and
freight are to be carried at reasonable
rates, and business is 10 be commenced
with as little delay as possible.
In addition to this transportation
scheme on large scale, the company
owning the patents will build individual
slefghs, in which a prospector can go
wherever he pl ases on the ice. These
small sleighs will be fitted out with dia-
mond drills which can be driven by the
motor fifty feet into the soil. II the dia-
mond drill indicates gold in any quantity
all the prospector has to do is to stake out
his claim, and there you have it.
If you have the Klondike fever, and are
aching to start out just be patient while.
Every thing comes to him who waits
Linger here till the new company gets out
its first number. and take an electric
sleigh. 1t will give you the bulge on the
treasure e-hunters now en- route to Dawson.

The Spanish idea that an army of $4,000
could march triumphantly from Boston
to California in two weeks shows an over
sanguine temperament. II Spain has any
$4,000 armies to spare she ought to be able

The Assistant District Attorney in New
York City being eager to get business off
his hands so that he could take long va
cation, succeeded in having twenty-five
criminal cases tried in fourteen days and
obtaining twenty-five convictions. The
fact that such a record is possible when
the prosecuting attorney desires to make
it increases the wonder of the public why
something like half that speed could not
be attained on ordinary occasions.
