A Way Has Been Found
to Bring a Company
Into Court.
Proceedings Under the State
Penal Code Have Been
Begun.
If the Corporation Does Not Appear
the Case Will Go On With
out It.

The case of the people of the United
States against the John kelso Company,
alias John kelso, or vice versa, bobbed up
serenely yest rday afternoon. Assistant
United States Attorney knight had been
burning the midnight oil over the Revised
Statutes Of the United States and the
codes of The State of California, and his
study was rewarded, for it showed him
way out of the difficulty of bringing de-
fiant corporation into court. Section 10l4
of the Revised Statutes reads as follows:
section 1914 For any crime offense
against the United States the offender may,
by any Justice or Judge of the United States,
or by any commissioner Of a Circuit Court TO
take BAIL or by any Chancellor, Judge OF
Supreme or Superior Court, chief or first Judge
of Common Pleas, Mayor OF d city, Justice OF
the Peace or other magistrate OF any State
where he may be found, and sgreeably to the
usual mode of process against offenders in
such Stale and al the expe Of the United
States, be arrest led and Imprisoned, or pal!ed
as the case may be, for trial before such court
OF the United States rs by law mas cognlZance
OF the offense.
Section 1896 OF the Penal Code of this
State prescri bes that where the defendant
corporation fails 10 appear, pea OF not
guilty shall DC ordered entered by The
court, and the taking OF testimony shall
be proceeded with as though the defend
ant were prese Mt IN court.
Nj knight drew up "a summons IN &C
cordance with the provisions of The Penal
Code and presented it to United States
Commissioner Heacock, who issued q
warrant calling upon the company TO
come into court and answer to the charge
of having violated the eight-hour law OF
the United States.
Mr.. Knight said yesterday that the
company would have zen days in which
to appear. Should the president or sec
retary of the company fail to appear on
the appointed day, the court will proceed
10 take evidence on behalf OF the Govern
ment and will close the case, i'm posing
sue fine as to it may seem TO be just.
The summons will be served to-day by
the United States Marshal on either Mr..
Kelso or the secre tary of the corporation.
