and Hill together on the evening Of June
80 at s o'clock, in front Of herresidence
on Broadway, was not true and the
young lady was either mistaken or had
testified falsely. Hills story being thus
without support, there was no alterna-
tive for the court but to hold him to an
swer, which was done and the bond fixed
at $4,000
At the same time there was an air Of
truth about Hills story, and during the
day he again went over in minute de-
tail in the district attorneys office all
the circumstances bearing upon his con-
nection with the stolen buggy. AS re-
suit of this conference a warrant issued
for the arrest of John Adams, the young
man who promised Hill to assist in SELL
ing the vehicle and then played detect
i've. Adams connection with the case
has worn a somewhat suspicious air
since the full story was ventilated in
court This suspicion was. deepened
when 1t was learned that as soon as
Adams got wind of the probability of his
being drawn into the case he jumped
aboard the northbound train and left
for San Francisco. But the telegraph
is much speedier than the train, and at
Mojave Adams was placed under arrest
and will be returned to this city.

AN ACCUSATION FILED
Against G. 81. Clayton, the Justice Of
Soledad Township

One Dewitt Temple has flied an ac-
cusation in department one against C..
H. Clayton, justice Of Soledad township,
and asks that he be deprived Of his
office.
The complainant alleges that about tn.
Sd of May one T. F. Mitchell began an
action against him in the Justices court
to eject him from certain lands. He
interposed demurrer, but Justice Clay
ton knocked it out offhand. Then aff1-
ant demanded a jury trial, but the JUS
tice wouldn't accommodate him in that
respect either. When the case came to
trial the plaintiff, Mitchell, failed to
materialize, and affiant demanded judg-
ment by default, but failed again in
getting the satisfaction he wanted.
Later, and unknown to Temple, the
justice entered judgment on the docket
against affiant and in favor of Mitch
ell for $199 and surrender Of premises.
An execution issued and Temples fam
lily was turned out of their home and
left without any shelter.
Temple now prays the court that ci-
tation may issue to Justice Clayton, that
he appear and answer the accusation,
and il it is sustained, that he be de-
prived of his Office, and that Judgment
be entered against him for $780,

COUNT MARTINY AGAIN
Being Tried for Passing Fictitious
Check

Once again the spectacled Count Otto
Albert Won Martiny was brought to trial
in connection with passing worthless
check for s23 upon F. A. Marcher, the
Broadway jeweler
The previous trial f1zzled out for the
reason that the count had been charged
in the informa tion with forgery when
it was altogether unknown, and certain
ly could not be proved, that he had
forged anyone's name. A new complaint
was filed, charging the count with pass
ing a fictitious check" The evidence
put in yesterday was merely repetition
Of what was developed upon the pre-
liminary examination. The claim tried
to show that the signer or the holder of
the worthless check, from whom Mar
tiny received it, was a missionary who
had gone to the Fejee islands. Several
witnesses testified to the actual person
ality of such a man, and in argume nj
counsel for the defense laid stress upon
the fact that nothing was known against
Martiny, apart from this charge, that
was not to his credit. When in this city,
and later at Hollister, where he was ar
rested, he identified himself with the
Holiness band, and bore a good char
acter among his fellow-workers.
This morning Deputy District Attor-
ney McComas will close and the case
will go to the jury.

PRECIOUS JEWELS LOST
A THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH
OF THEM CARRIED AWAY
Bold Burglary Is Committed in q
Broadway Jewelry Store by
Clever Thief

A bold burglary was committed at S..
Aufrichtig's jewelry store at 1858 South
Broadway some time between Saturday
night and Monday morning; the thief
making away with about thousand
dollars worth of jewels. The first known
of the burglary was shortly after s
o'clock yesterday morning, when Mr..
Aufrichtig came into his store and found
quantity Of empty trays lying on the
floor. He at once suspected that some
thing was wrong. but did not imagine
the extent of his loss until after an in
vestigation had been made and was
thunderstruck to find that the larger
part of his stock was gone.
Aufrichtig was in the habit Of putting
his watches and most valuable jewelry
in a wooden case This was secured by
paddock run through two hooks which
screwed into the sides and lid of the box
One of these hooks had been pried off
and the lid opened. The contents had
then been dumped into whatever recep-
tacle the burglar carried.
Everything of value in the case was
gone and the thief's acquaintance with
the nature of the contents was evidenced
by the fact that only articles which could
readily be converted into cash were
taken Between fifty and sixty watches,
over sixty jeweled rings, various scarf
pins and numerous other articles, be-
sides two or three pounds of old gold had
been carried off. Nothing in the show
case or window had been touched, al
though there were several trays of opals
and various stones in the case.
None of the tenants entered the store
on Sunday, and Mr.. Aufrichtig was last
there Saturday night at $50 o'clock 1t Is
thought that the robbery was commit
ted Sunday night. Entrance was prob
ably effected through the front door by
means of skeleton key as the lock is
a very ordinary one. The matter has
been reported to the police and detec-
tives have been detailed on the case.

A SCHooLMARM WINS
On Appeal Against the San Diego
Board of Education

The decision of the supreme court in
reversing the superior court Of San Di-
ego county in the suit of Edith A. Mitch
ell, plaintiff and appellant, against the
board Of education of San Diego county
will be Of interest to boards of educa-
tion throughout the state, and also to
every schoolma am who has interest in
her rights as an educator.
The plaintiff had diploma from a
normal school of this state and applied
to the board Of education of San Diego
county for teachers certificate of the
grammar grade, but her application was
refused by the board. She thereupon
went into court, asking for a writ OF
mandate requiring the board to issue to
her a certificate as requested A demur-
rer to her petition was sustained by the
court, without leave to amend, and
Judgment was entered dismissing her

Mitchell appealed.

petition. From that Judgment Miss
Mitchell appealed.
The refusal of the board to grant the
certificate was based upon one of the
rules of the board, as follows: mo GER
| tificate higher than primary grade will
be issued to any applicant who has not
had two years experience in teaching in
the public schools, provided that holders
of state normal school diplomas, of Cali
fornia State university diplomas, or Le-
land Stanford, Jr., diplomas shall be re-
quired to have had but one years expe-
rience.'
| Miss Mitchell based her right to a GER
tif1cate upon Sec. 1903 Of the political
code, as amended in 1893, the first and
| second subdivisions of which are as
follows: First, the board OF trustees
or each state normal school, upon the
recommendation of the faculty, may is

which says: 1.-The county superintend-
ent and the county boards of education
shall have control of the examination of
| teachers and the granting of teachers
certificates within their respective jul
risdictions" and the question to be de-
cided by the supreme court was whether
| the board of education rule Is para
mount to the provisions of the political
code; the respondents contending, in ef-
| feet, that the provision of the constitu-
ton vests in them a power superior to
that of the legislature in presenting the
| conditions upon which certificates shall
be issued. But the supreme court does
not interpret the constitutional provi-
sion in this way but views it in view of
| the entire provisions of the constitution
upon the subject of education"
"The defendants" says the court, "re-
fused to grant certificate to the petit
toner solely because of the require
ments of rule 4, adopted by them, and as
the adoption Of that rule was the exer-
else Of legislative power which Is no.

THE WHITTIER TROUBLE
One of the Officers Arrested for
Battery

The rebellion at the Whittier school
is not to be permitted to be numbered
with things that are past without being
ventilated in the courts. Yesterday the
district attorney drew up a complaint.
upon the representations of George G
Parks, against Captain Treat of the
reform school. He is charged with a
battery upon the son of complainant
George L. Parks, in that he fiogged
him in such a manner as to incapaci-
tate the boy. The complaint was sworn
to in the township court and Justice
Young issued the warrant for the arres.
of the defendant.
Young Parks is in Company G. at the
school, and his father maintains tina;
he was in no way concerned in the re-
cent outbreak, his company refusing to
participate. The boy was heard, how
ever, to remark that Company E was
no good" and for that he was pun
ished.
