SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
SANTA BARBARA

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 21.-(Regu-
lar Correspondence.) Judge w. S. Day,
in the superior court this morning, rem
dered an important decision setting aside
the innkeepers' act, under which Baker,
the hotel beat, was held hero, and for
violation OF which no was found guilty
in Los Angeles two or three weeks ago,
serving g short term In Jail. Judge Day
holds that the act was vitiated through
blunder of tho legislature Of 1893,
which passed an act amending Section
537 OF ths penal code to read as followa,
eto. 1t happens that there are two sec
lions 5S7, through oversight, one Of them
relating to the innkeepers' act, and the
other providing for the punishment Of
those who removed mortgaged chattels
out Of the county in which they were
mortgaged In amending section 531
the legislature intended to amend the
one relative to chattcl mortgages, and
the amendment contains no reference to
hotel or inn keepers.
Judge Day holds that this utterly de-
stroys the einnkeepers' law and Baker was
released. Baker was represented by At
tornsy Fl. C. Booth and the latter states
it is the first decision ever rendered ad-
verse to the act.
