CITIZENS WANT
AN ASSOCIATION
Representative Men Desire
the Old Rookeries
Torn Down.
In Favor Of a Permanent Organ
ization to Urge the
Project.
They Believe the Oitys Capital
Should Be in Esthetic
Surroundings.

From the expressed opinions of scores
OF prominen: citizens there seems to be q
unanimous sentiment in favor of doing
something to beautlfy the City Hall by
reciaiming the lots which ought to form
part OF park fronting on Market street.
The idea OF calling Tor a meeting of rep
resentative citiZans is very popular, a
suggested by Attorney Reinstein. There
seems 10 be no divisions OF opinion N the
ranks of prominent citizens who have
studied the question. All say that there
ought TO be no delay in dong something
to give the hall such park as BELTS the
building. Not single citizen now up
holds the idea of allowing the structure
to be obscured for the res of its existence.
though there are differences of opin ion as
to how the purpose should be accom-
plished.
There are many who are in favor of
calling a meeting at an early date to take
steps to remove the shanties that now OBJ.
scure the hall. The following we'll known
citizens have expressed themselves in no
uncer tain wav. and they favor the plan
advocated by Mr.. Reinstein:
E. A. Denicke-"The City Hall ought by
| all N cans to be surrounded by something
| that | do not feel the disgrace OF the sur
roundines. l favor the plan advocated by
! Mr.. Renstein and l would be glad to see
| the meeting of representative citizens
! called TO devise ways and means for con-
| demning the land and tearing down the
/ shanties with a view to DeautifvlnS the
| city. In the great European centers and
! in all the really beautiful cities of this
country such nuisances do not exist.
would be glad to see speedy action"
| Irving Nj. Scott-"IHE CALL is right. The
meeting ought to be called and the city
| ought by all means 10 have the lots with
! out delay. The sensible way TO do Is TO
form an association whose me nj bers would
devise ways and means to accom- plish the
! purposes set forth"
Ex-Mayor L. r. Ellert-"It Will Ger.
| talnly do no harm to have a meeting of
the best citizens. for the surroundings of
the ball are disgrace. If there is any
! feasible way to have the lots purchased
or condemned for the city il is time 10 get
at il. | favor the meeting by all means
and hope it will be a success. "
| George Center-"It is a good idea. OF
course times are hard now, bur the ex-
pense would not be very much for each
citizen. 1t is well 10 begin 10 look into
the matter, and see no better way than
through the meeting suggested"
President J. w. Kerr o. the Manufac-
turers' and Producers Association
There can be no two opinions as TO the
advisa bility OF having a decent park sur
roundiag the hall. 1t was a great mis-
take TO cell the lots. The bes thing that
can be done now is 10 begin 10 plan for
the proper surroundings. 1t would be a
fine thing for representative citizens to
Assem- bic and Ser ously discuss ways and
means to accomplish the purpose so ably
set forth in IHE CALL"

EDITOR LAWRENOE'S CASE.
Judge Daingerfied Will Hear Arpu-
mont Next Monday Afternoon

Another bret delay has been secured in the
hearing OF the somewhat noted case OF Law
renee against Campbell.
This action grows out of the complaint made
by Claus Spreckels against William R. Hearst.
proprie tor, and Andrew NJ. Lawrence. editor
OF the Daily Examiner, on charge of libel
The was assigned to Judge James A.
CampbelPs department OF the Police Court
and at once Mr.. Lawrence objected to being
tried by Judge Campbell. To stop further
proceeding he applied 10 the Superior Court
lor a writ W prohibition to prevent Judge
Campbell from hearing the case.
On the application of counsel for Mr. Law
renee several contlnuances were granted and
finally the case WAS peremptorily set down
by Juuge Daingerfeld for yesterday M orning,
but wnen it was called Attorney Garret Nc.
Enerney, representing Mr.. Lawrence, asked as
personal favor TO himself that the case
should so over TO 4;3o next Monday alter
noon.
Attorney Grove L. Johnson responded on
behalf OF Nh. Spreckels, saying that he had
no objection, since II had come in the form OF
q courteous request by counsel. 1t was there
fore ordered that lurther proceedings should
be pos Iponed until the time mentioned.

Borrowed captain Nevin.' Money.

r. C. WiIber's suit against Samuel J. Hendy,
John Hendy and Sarah McGurn for $3.50 came
up for hearing in Judge DaingerfeId's court
on appeal from the Justices Court yesterday.
Mr.. Wilber is proprietor of the news stand in
the Palace Hotel. and seeks to recover a CON-
mission on loan OF $25, 900, which he Sc
cured for the defendants from Captain w. A.
Nevills, the millionaire proprietor of the Raw
hide mine. The defense was that the loan was
secured by Samuel J. Hendy himself through
Delmas q Shnrtridge at a cost much greater
than that demanded b. Mr.. WILDER. in the
proceedings it was developed that Captain
Nevills impored the litigants no; to have him
brought up In court as moncy-leuder simply
because he made an occasional transaction in
negotiable paper. The case was taken under

GOVERN MENq
BY INJUNCTION"
Hon. ]. G. Maguire's Address
at the Iroquois Club
Last Evening.
Power of Judiciary Thought by
Him to Be in Excess of
Legal Principles.
Freedom of the Press and Public
Speech Should Not Be Tam
pered With.

At meeting of the Iroquois Club last
evening, A. d. Lemon presiding, Hon. j.
q. MagUire delivered an interesting ad-
dress on Government by Injunction"
Congress" he said, shall pass no law
abridsing freedom of speech or the public
press, but nothing has been said about the
judiciary 1t Is hard TO determine where
we are drifting for the power OF the
courts seems TO be Increasing as the years
go by. So many anchors are thrown for
ward from the judiciary ship for the pur-
pose. OF drawing it forward one more
notch, that they must inevitably be
wrecked ere long on their own anchors.
IF country Justices should juggle law,
as IS now done by those who are higher in
office and the legal profession, the result
could hardly be determined. A govern
ment cou.d not be run successfully on in
functions, for the principles are neCesser-
lily vicious. A Judge may be honest and
yet deal UNANIMOUSLY with cases placed be-
fore him for decision, on account OF false
principles, and where a decision mi mt
be given Dv judge which would tend to
overrule the limitations restraining the
Government from interfering with the
liberty of citizens, there should be some
means OF protection.
without doubt Alexander Hamilton
was In earnest when he said that the peo-
pie were not 10 be trusted, but he was un-
douhtedly under a apprehension. 1
do not say that decisions are all corruptly
rendered, but l am of the opinion that
thy are uniuslly rendered according TO
law and justice. Honesty in judge is
not enough if his principles are vicious,
and the case entitled Casey VS.. Typo
graphical Union is an example OF a
Judges error, for that is all il could be
entitled.
Thomas Jefferson battIed for the rig is
OF his fellow men and Jaw the dangers
which menaced the public, but seemed TO
be powerless so fai as reform was con-
cerned. Judges without doubt, should
