MARY HADWICK'S DEED.
Her Nieces Claim Her Estate Under
the Instrument.

There was quite an array of young
lawyers in Judge Johnson's court yes
terday when the case of Min
against Public Administrator w.
B. Miller was called for trial. 1t is
a suit for ejectment, and involves the
title to several parcels of city property
left by the plaintiffs aunt, Mary Had
wick, who died some three months ago.
No will was found, and the estate
went into the hands of the Public Ad-
to the property was discovered among
the effects of Mrs. Hadwick in favor of
her nieces the plaintiffs. On this they
brought the action against Public Ad-
ministrator Miller. The latter claims
that the deed has no force, as it was
never delivered nor recorded. The
plaintiffs are represented by r. T. and
w. II. Devlin, Miller by w. w. Rhoads.
and absent heirs by Albert NJ. Johnson
and A. NJ. Seymour.
An effort was made by Mr.. Johnson
to have the case continued, and the
argument on that point was at one time
quite spirited if not really warm. Fail
ing in his attempt to have a cOntinu-
ance, Mr.. Johnson announced that a
jury was demanded, and an order to
that effect was entered and a recess
taken
Subsequently the order for jury
was rescinded and the trial of the case
resumed.

In order that this purely patriotic
undertaking may be carried out in a
manner becoming the Capital City of

the local committee, consisting of Past

on Sunday en- route for Cincinnati.
They came by way of Martinez and
Stockton. and arrived in Sacramento
yesterday forenoon.
They will rest here until Saturday
evening, and wheel to Auburn, enroute
to their distant destination. Mr. Stein
au is member of the Olympic Club Of
San Francisco, Mr.. Peacock and Mr..
Davis are members of the Chicago Ath-
letic Club, and Mr.. Hayward of the
Cincinnati Road Club.
They found the roads rather rough
and heavy, but their courage has not
thus far faltered. Mr.. Hayward hurt
his ankle near Stockton, and the few
days rest here is in part to set him
up again. The group anticipates a
pleasant trip. They are under the man
agement of Clay Nichols of Cincinnati,
who accompanies the cyclists on his
wheel and bosses" them in good or
der. The lady stood the trip well to
this point, and Will probably wear as

1t Did Not Appear That He Attempted
Wrong.

At the request of Assistant District
Attorney j. Charles Jones Justice Hen
ry yesterday dismissed the charge
against E. w. Snow, a member of the
yellow Kid" orchestra, who had
seized the bass drum in lieu of some
money due him from Manager Leavitt
1t transpired that L. c. Knell held a
bill of sale of the instrument of tor
ture, and as there was no apparent in
tent displayed by Snow to do a wrong
ful act, but merely to get portion of
what was due him, Mr. Jones thought
it would be both unjust and useless to
prosecute him.

City Attorney Creswell of San Fran
cisco has sent to the Supervisors of
that city an official opinion to the effect
that the proposed ordinance prohibiting
the wearing of high hats in places of
indoor public assembly SO as to OBJ
struct the view of spectators at any en-
tertainment, would be void because it is
in violation of the constitutional guar
antees of civil liberty. Plain people will
dissent from that opinion. There is no
statute requiring men to uncover in
places of indoor public assembly, yet the
courts invariably convict a man who
wears his hat in a theater or a church
against rules of the place forbidding the
same. Conviction follows even where
there is no announced rule of place, on
the ground that custom has made it the
general rule. Now then, that being the
law why is it an invasion of civil liberty
to require a woman to conform to rule
enforced against men? But it may be
replied that custom has not made it a
rule for women to uncover their heads.
That is true, but statutory law proposes
to establish the rule by affirmative dec
laration. What in that rule deprives
women of any degree of liberty guaran-
teed to her by the Constitution? Is 1t
essential to life, property possession and
the pursuit of happiness that she shall
wear her hat in the theater? We appre-
hend not. Is the proposed law discrimi-
mating? Certainly not, since it applies
to all persons of either sex. Mr.. Cress-
for law is the essence of human reason,
and Mr.. Cresswell's reasoning will not
stand the test of logic. 1t is neither just
nor wise.
