erty; and, as we have seen, the wife may
so manage as to convert all gains derived
from business transacted by her into her
separate property"
The way in which the wife may so man.
age as to protect herself is indicated in
this statement:
at has been held that the husband can
make a gift of the community property to
the wife and convert it into her separate
estate. To this it may be added that the
wife, if possessed of business capacity, can
obtain permission to carry on business In
her own name as sole trader, and that
the profits of such business are her sepa-
rate properly"
Justices Henshaw, Harrison and McFar-
land concur with Justice Temple. Chief
Justice Beatty also concurred in the judg-
ment. but upon different grounds, his
principal reason being that while case
might arise in which the circumstances
would warrant an action like the Spreckels
case in this action it ''does not appear
that the amount of the gift was SO dispro-
portionate to the amount of the commu-
nifty property as to endalger the right of
the wife to her full share on the dissolu-
ton of the community, or 10 deprive the
husband of the means OF supporting his
wife or others dependent upon him."

JUSTICE AND MUSICIAN,
The Grand Jury Is Investigat-
ing the Nature of Their
Rela ionship.
The Young Lady Claims to Be the
Victim of Sharp Practice and
Sacks R venge.

Justice OF the Peace John A. Carroll is
charged with maIfeasance in office before
the Grand Jury, and that body spent the
entire afternoon yesterday in hearing the
evidence in the matter. It was brought
before the jury week ago as case of
embezzlement-the embezzlemeat of q
mandolin valued at $3.50. This charge,
however, did not stand before the inquiry
instituted, and, if any wrong serious
enough to warrant a true bill by the jury
is discovered, it will be that stated.
The prosecuting witness is Miss Josie
Gibbons. She was represented yesterday
by Jack Stevens. her attorney. The
story Mr.. Stevens tells is this:
Miss Gibbons purchased a mandolin
from her teacher. G. c. Cipollini, agreeing
to pay S160 in installments. She had paid
$40 when Cipollini began suit to recover
the 800 due at once, or the return of the
mandolin. The case was heard before
Justice Carroll, who dismissed it on a
technicality and gave judgment for the
girl. Cipollini then brought suit again,
and this time the case was sent TO Justice
Cooks court.
Pending trial Justice Carroll went to
the girls house and told her that a search
warrant had been issued, and that she
had better give the mandolin into his
keeping TO prevent the other side from
getting hold of it. She gave him the in.
strument, ana he has kept possession of
1t ever since, or until the Grand Jury sum-
moned him to explain the matter, when
he gave it into their nands.
The case was heard or. rather called in
Justice Cooks court on the 18th inst, and
because Miss Gibbons was not present
judgment was rendered for Cipoliini. Miss
Gibbons was not present because she was
not notified and knew nothing of the case
coming to trial.
Justice Carroll had assured her that he
would look after her interests and d o all
he could FOR her. 1t seems that she was
represented by young attorney whom
Carroll had asked to appear for her-a
man whom she does not know, whom she
never saw. and who did not advise her of
the case coming to trial, but who assented
TO the judgment. The answer to the
charge as filed in Cooks court is said to
be in Carroll's handwriting, and also a
demurrer that was filed.
This is the part of the transaction that
the Grand Jury is taking cognizance Of
the court records in the case wherein the
Justice OF the Peace appears to be taxing
the part OF attorney, to the discontinue
of the client.
Justice Carroll declares himself inno-
cent of any wrongdoing in the matter,
and says he had nothing to do with the
case after il left his court except to take
care of the mandolin at the young
woman's request.
The case will be heard further on Fri
day.

humane duty, therefore, to bring such
facts to the attention OF all invalids, that
they may be benefited thereby.

duty, but his religious duty-a duty which
he owes to suffering humanity-to donate
his infalible cure to all afflicted.

Judge Hebbard has decided against
Robert A. Crothers of the Evening Bulle-
tip in his suit against the Daily Report
Publishing Company and the City and

fore awarded by the Board OF Supervisors
of the City and County of San Francisco
to the Daily Report Publishing Company,
10 do the public printing for the years
1897 and 1898, be annulled and set aside.
and that the same be awarded to plaintiff
upon the ground that he, the plaintiff,
was and is the lowest bidder !or said con-
tract.
To both the petition for the writ and to
the complaint for injunction defendants
demurred on the ground that neither
states facts sufficient to constitute cause
of action.
After reviewing the law involved in the
litigation Judge Hebbard rendered the
following decision: "Yhe demurrer to the
petition for the writ of mandate is sus-
tanned and the writ is dismissed. The de-
murrer to the complaint for injunction is

A WILL OR A TRUST7

Mrs. Miranda A. Cunningham Last
Testament Is in Dispute.
Mrs. Lucie Megie has filed petition to
have the will of the late Mrs. Miranda A.
Cunningham declared of no effect and
that she, as next of kin, shall be awarded
the property.
In her will Mrs. Cunningham gave her
property to John ]. Mooney of Visalia,
.to use as he may think best. said John ].
Mooney 10 be executor without bonds"
Mrs. Megie asserts that this provision of
the will bestows on Mr.. Mooney the prop
erty for his use only; that it creates
trust; that Mr.. Mooney is constituted trus-
tee thereby, and that uncertainty as to
the duration of the trust and in regard to
the beneficiaries arises on the face of the
instrument
Additional allegations are presented to
the effect that the signing of the pretended
will was procured by menace. duress and
undue influence.
Relying on the recent decisions of the
California Supreme Court in the Walkerly
case touching the question of trusts, the
petitioner asks that The probate of the will
be annulled and that the letters testament
tary thereon be revoked, and that she
shall have such other relief as may be
right.

A young woman, who said her mime
was Mabel Crosby. told story Of hard.
ship 10 the police Of The Twentieth and
Befks station, Phila on Thursday night,
She said she WAS an actress aud WAS max.
ing her way to her home in Boston. Ac-
eerding to her story she has had a varied
experience, although only % years Of
age She was born in Chicago and at
the age Of years she ran away from her
parents aud Joined the Anderson Chicago
Comedy Company. For four years she
Travelled with the company, playing juve-
nile parts. At tho age OF Is years she
married circus man and joined Fore
paugh's show, becoming bareback rider
aud rope walker. After four years OF
circus life she was engaged by company
playing +" Uncle Toms Cabin, with
which she remained for one and half
years. Two years ago her husband died
and later she was engaged by a comedy
company travelling through Western
cities Some time ago the company was
stranded In Chelsea, Wis, aud the woman
says she WAS robbed OF her wages. AS
her two children were living in Boston
she determined to go there, aud as she
had no other means she started on the
long tramp, She begged her meals and
lodging on the way. The policemen took
up collection for her and she continued
her journey toward Boston.
This woman arrived in this city Satur-
day afternoon. She seemed to be IN a
demented condition, aud attempted to
Jump out of one of the windows OF the
river bridge. Later on she made an at
tempt to walk into the canal near the
railroad station. She was taken in charge
by Constable Riordan aud placed in the
lock up. She said she had walked that
day from Willow Grove, and had nothing
to cat for over day. She was given
food and lodging, aud started the next
day for Pennington.

support.

There is nothing so important in con-
nection with an arrest of some strong,
burly offender, who resists an officer or
officers, as for them TO feel that they have
the support OF the on lockers, aud par
ticularly when the arresting party is in
the night. Ii we are to have peace and
good order at our doors IL becomes the
duty Of every law abiding citizen to lend
encouragement TO an officer when doing
his duty. II was evident, on Thursday
night last, that the officers had their
hands full in arresting George Clayton,
the colored man from stockton. There
could have been more force used by the
officers, il necessary, and they would
have been justified in doing so ; but Chief
Morse recognized that he had the sympa'
thy Of the citizens, who manifested
willingness TO turn in and help the officers,
and in this very fact they felt disposed TO
struggle along and do the best they could,
knowing that should the rest OF the gang
make an attempt to rescue they would be
met with force sufficient to land them all
in jail. 1t is a dangerous thing TO crowd
around officers making arrests as, gener-
ally, some innocent gets the bullet in case
OF shooting, aud there were times the
other night when some came near being
struck with the policeman's club. Give
the officers, when in the discharge Of duty,
all the room they want and, when ne
cesssary, render them sufficient aid to en-
force the law
