DECIDED AT LAST
The spillman Water Case Goes by
.a t Default

The suit of w. C. B. Richardson
against the Spillman Suburban Water
company, the city of Los Angeles ct al,
yesterday went to the plaintiff by de-
fault. This Is an old case that once at
tracted. a great deal of attention and
has been In the courts for a long time.
The suit was brought to forecfose a
mortgage for $4,000 on a tract Of land
and water right out near Burbank. The
Los Angeles river flows through the land
and there was a scheme on foot to con-
troll the waters OF this stream, thus shut
ting out the city Of Los Angeles and all
users of the water of that stream be-
low Tropico. The plan fell through.
however. and the whole project came to
nothing.
Yesterday judgment was given for
the plaintiff. amounting in all to about
$4,000. This is the last chapter Of a suit
that once threatened to strike at the
very root Of Los Angeles water supply.

BALDWIN SUIT
Demurrer to the Second Amended
Complaint Sustained


Judge Van Dyke yesterday rendered
an opinion in the case of j. w. McClel-
land VS.. E. ]. Baldwin, sustaining the
demurrer to the second amended COM
plant. This was an action brought to
rescind a contract between the plaintiff
and H. A. Unruh, acting as agent for E.
J. Baldwin. in which a certain tract OF
land Of the Santa Anita rancho. together
with the water right, was conveyed.
The plaintiff claimed that the contract
had been made through fraud, practiced
in misrepresenting the value of the land.
Judge Van Dyke ruled that the COM
plant was Objectionable in that 1t i'm
properly unites two different causes of
action. In an action to rescind the party
seeking relief repudiates the contract
entirely and seeks to have the parties
PLACID in statu quo, while in an action for
damages he affirms it and seeks to re-
cover damages by reason of the fraud
arising out Of the circumstances accom-
panying and entering into the contract.
The demurrer to the second amended
complaint is therefore sustained.

TRADING STAMPS ARE LEGAL
rlessrs. Vandegr;ft, Cooper, Conrad and
Others Say No Delaware Law Can
Interfere With Them.

Since Judge Scott of the City Court of
Washington decided that the giving of the
trading stamps in tho District Of Columbia
WAS Illegal Wilmington merchants engag-
cd in the enterprise have been wondering
whether their acts arc in violation of the
Delaware statutes or city ordinances. A
REPUBLICAN, reporter this morning inqulr-
ed OF United States District Attorney
Lewis G. Vantlegrift. Deputy States At
torney Peter l.. Cooper. .lr., and City So
lictor Henry G. Conrad, who were of the
opinion that tho trading stamp business
was not violation OF the state or city
laws.
This therefore dspels the uneaslness
which has been prevalent since Tuas day
when the decision of Judge Scott was
given.
Tho decision in Washington was based
upon Il section Of tho United States re-
vised statutes prohibiting gift enterprises
in tho District of Columbia A similar
law was enacted by tho Maryland TIegis-
laturo of lSS6, but it was declared unGon-
stitutional by the Court Of Appeals of that
State in 1891.
The Maryland law prohibited any por-
son from holding out any gift as an in
ducement to purchase. This law the
Court of Appeals decided was invalid 50
far as it related to gift enterprises, not in
hibit n person from giving away anything
as an inducomenb to purchasers, tho court
said. would be q regulation Of trade not
only unwise but unlawful.
Delaware legislators never enacted a
similar law SC. the legality of the business
was never questioned i'll thar respect.
But it was tho opinion of many Will
mingt0n b,.iness men that the law pro.
hib!ting gambling i'll this state might bo so
construed us to apply to tho case in point.
1t was this point which was worrying
them. But there need he no fear of prose-
cution. Deputy Attorney General Cooper
could not see how tho gilt of II stamp could
be so construed by law us to constitute
gambling.
United States Attorney Vandegrifrs
mind was equally clear on tho point but
he could nos say how a test case would re-
suit, Other OPTIONS obtained from men
not officially connected with the stale and
city's legal affairs, were that tho giving Of
The stamps was not II violation of the lot
terry laws. Wilmingl onians who obtain
the stamps know what they will obtain
for them, therefore the giving OF them is
not Illegal

BRUTAL OHIO WHITECAPS.
Two Young Girls Dragged From Bed
and Terribly Beaten.

Two Young Girls Dragged From Bed
ana Terribly Beaten.
Holgate, O., Nov. 12.-Word reached
this city yesterday evening from Oak
wood, O., q hamlet Is miles south, of an
outrage perpetrated Wednesday night
by whltecaps upon two girls Edith and
May Roberts, aged II and 10 years. Ten
days ago the young women received a
Whitecap notice warning them to leave
the town and county, but they paid no
attention to it. Wednesday evening
they retired early. Duding the night
they We're awakened by a band Of
eight or ten men entering their rooms,
who dragged them from their beds in
their night robes to the nearby road,
where they were terribly whipped by
cato -ninetails which was found in the
road yesterday.
After beating the two girls the white
caps gave them q coat of tar and
feathers and took them back to the
house, where they were found uncon-
scious in the morning. May is in
critical condition, her flesh being cut to
the bone by the whip. A card contain
ing ten names was found tackled to the
front door, but none of the names are
known about that place.
Bloodhounds We're placed upon the
trail of the whitecaps but owing TO
heavy rains and the tramplng of hum
dreds of people about the scene the
animals were unable to follow the
scent, and no other clew can be found.
