A NOVEL POINT OF LAW.

1t will be remembered that suit was
brought by City Solicitor Eaton last July
on behalf of the city, against the Fl. G..
Burleigh heirs for violating the ordinance
of tho city prohibiting the erection or
restoration of wooden buildings within
certain "fiue limits.
The suit is now pending in court and
on Saturday Mr.. Baton received notice
from Hon. f. F. Webb, attorney for the
Burleighs, stating that he had filed a
motion with the court for the discontlnn
ance of tho suit on the ground that the
city ordinance by virtue OF which the suit
was brought had been repealed by vote OF
the city council, when that body voted
that all the existing ordinances should be
repealed and replaced by revision OF the
same. The new ordinances We're recently
advertised in the columns of The Mall and

DEPEW PAINTS DOLE.
The Hawaiian President Has Nerve, Gull

IN. Y. Mail and Express
DR.. Chauncey N. Depew is student OF
character He is reader Of faces and
forms quickly his opinion OF mon from
their personal appearance. He can see
| through the smut and oil of the fireman
or engineer, the wiper or the can cleaner,
and determine at once whether the man
so hidden is worthy of trust and conf
dence, whether he can be rolled upon at
all times. He can likewise look beyond
the smooth, unruffled surface OF the
diplomat, the politician and the social
lion of the day, and decide for himself
without much hesitation the strength OF
character of the one who comes before
him.
So, when DR.. Depew last week accepted
the invitation of President Mckinley to
be his guest at the dinner given to Presi-
dent Dole, of Hawaii it was with the
purpose in view partly to study the man
who Is the President of the Republic
now knocking at the doors of the United
States Senate asking for adoption and
protection.
"What do think of President Dole?"
replied DR.. Depew this morning in an.
swer to the question put by the reporter
for the Mail and Express. II met him
at the dinner given in his honor by the
President, and looked him over pretty
closely. He is a big man with long
heard, but the beard does not detract
from his personal appearance. He is a
fi1n
the sort of man to carry through the. kind
of revolution which he did, a revolution
totally distinct in nature from the revo-
luton which gave to the United States
her freedom. He has every confidence in
himself, and what he does, and thorough
ly could carry ont the revolution of the
syndicate which he represented.
"That revolution was not of the people
who have been in Hawaii since the Is
lands were known, but it Was underta
ken by him and his friends and carried
through with the aid of the United States
war ships and Minister Stevens. AS a
representative of the Congregational mis-
sionaries, their descendants and other
foreigners, he is success, as his appear
ance indicates. He appears like one who
had established government which he
believed perfectly secure in his hands.
and which he could decree to my one he
might select to take his place, although
this government is self-constituted one,
and never since its establishment has he
dared to go before tho people for popu-
lar vote.
sit reminds me of the board of COVER
nors of some clubs which / know Of.
They get together and say that they shall
select men who are to vote for the men
whom they name to boss the club. He
selects all of the officers of the govern
ment, and Is the government. He is so
confident in himself, and the government
he has established, that he has left it and
come on to Washington to aid the scheme
of annexing Hawaii to the United States.
President Dole is cultivated and a oul
tured gentleman, being American bred
and a graduate OF Williams College. He
is clear and convincing talker, and no
doubt will make many converts to his
way. of thinking. for he will make most
people agree with him if they hear him

A NEWS THIEF TRAPPED.

The following article taken from a shows how a thrifty metropolitan jour- nalist uses his neighbor's goods to the detriment of the neighbor and the ag- grandizement of himself. The enter prising newspaper man offered to sell The Call news, which was to be stolen from the Herald, being blissfully ig norant at the time that The Call had entered into a co-partnership with the Herald for the purchase Of news and was entitled to whatever appeared in the columns of it's contemporary. He was trying to sell stolen property to it's owner

 For .unblushing, effrontery in the way of cap the climax. The Herald had occasion recently to expose a San Francisco paper for thus pirating it's copyrighted specials, and brought suit against 1t for piracy. But here is a person who proposes to make general traffic of 1t for any paper willing to be a party to 1t.
 As is well known, the HeraldS special dispatches, obtained at great expense, are duly copyrighted, and hence cannot be re- printed with impunity except by those papers that have secured and pay for that privilege. We have no objection to their being copied, with due credit given, by morning papers of the day following that of their appearance in the Herald, but their unlicensed publication in Western papers on the same morning, which is rendered possible by difference of time and pilferfng of early copies Is simply news thievery, in violation of the copy right law, and a wrong, not only to the Herald, but also to those of our out-of- town contemporaries that pay for the privilege of using the dispatches In jus tice to them as well as to itself the Herald does not propose to permit it.
 As we have said, these special dis patches are duly copyrighted, and their for which the law affords means of re- dress. It is the common regret of all rep utable journals obtaining valuable special news that the remedies of the existing law are not more drastic or effective What is needed is severe penalties for this species of piracy, and Congress should statute so as to provide them.
 Owing to the difference in time it has long been a practice among impecunious and interruptions newspapers in the West to steal special news stories and features from New York journals Special copy

A COMMENDHBLE MOVEMENT.

T~HE Richmond District Improvement Clubs are to be congratulated upon their success in finally inducing the Board of Supervisors to fix date after which burials in the cemeteries around Lone Mountain will be illegal For several years efforts in this direction have been unavailing The influence of the people who own burial pats, combined with that of the, corporations engaged in operating new grounds has been ample to prevent action toward prohibiting further interments or wholesale removal It may be that this influence is still potent The luon passed by the Supervisors 1t should be noted has merely gone to print
 There is no doubt however that the position main tained by the residents of Richmond concerning these cemeteries is correct They are blight upon the development of most beautiful portion of the city, they must eventually be removed and the time for preparing for removal can be more pro- pitious than at present The resolution passed to print by the Supervisors fixes 1902 the extreme limit during which burials will be permitted in the cemeteries referred This will give the lot-owners three years in which prepare for the end and after that agitation for wholesale removal may appro- priatey be undertaken
 While communities, as well as governments, ought to respect the regard people feel for the dead must be recognized by all that burying- grounds when To- cated in the midst of cities nuisance and should be abated Not only are they menace to health but
 
 structs Streets and destroys the value of property The region called Richmond, located, 1t Is, behind two cemeteries is not half so valuable for home building purposes it would be were Lone Mountain razed and the dead reposng upon its slopes removed to other places.
 We say, therefore, that the Richmond District Inn provement Clubs be congratulated upon having al last induced the Supervisors to name the day on which burials shall in these cemeteries Alter January l. 1902 1t will be in order for them to begin agitating for the removal of the bodies The property now populated by the silent dead will by that time have become valuable for residence purposes that its owners may perceive profit in joining in the movement If such prove to be the event trouble will be experienced in abolishing the cemeteries In the face of financial operation such has been sug- gcsted the ghosts of the eternal mountain will gather up their winding sheets and walk without a shadow of protest

right laws have been enacted by Congress to stop this dishonest practice. To the honor of the more enterprising and sin cere papers in the West 1t must be stated that with them it is an invariable rule to give credit for this stolen matter, which, in a. slight measure, is some satisfaction without so much as saying By your leave''
 Perhaps the most unblushing proposi- tion yet made of the nature referred to is contained in the letter which the Herald prints herewith. It was written to the editor of the San Francisco Call, a con- spicuous and enterprising newspaper that pays for the privilege of using the Her aids special news features and has no use for a dark lantern" service, such as the writer of the letter proposes.
 Following is the circular which the enterprising night editor of the Press sent to The Call.
 ITO the Editor of The Call, San Fran New York Press, and, having made a suc- cess of my news correspondence for cer- tain Eastern, Western and Southern newspapers, desire to extend it. and have three propositions to make.
 T. If you want news correspondent in this city to watch your interests, day and night, and query you on all news not cov- cred by the Associated Press report, I will serve you in that capacity, charging only your own customary space rate for matter actually used.
 ''2. If you want to have a newspaper correspondent who will not put you to the expense of paying telegraph tolls on que ries, but whom you can always depend on to answer promptly any order you may send him from time to time for a news or special story to be paid for at your own special rates for matter actually used I will serve you in that capacity.
 3 If you want successful solicitor of advertisements In this great center work ing at your usual commission, will serve you to linlited degree in that capacity. That Is, l will go at any time after any particular advertiser you will indicate to me as likely to use your paper.
 With regard to my news facilities I have this to say. 1 have early access to the proofs of the New York Press and can use them freely In connection with all news not covered by the Associated Press correspondents all over the world and gets it early-except when 1t is occasion- ally beaten.
 ''To offset this occasional beat. I am able to get earlier copies of the Herald World, Journal and Sun than any person else, with few exceptions, and can have the Herald beat (copyrighted or not) re- written completely and on the wire for you by o'clock a. m. (New York time) and any World, Journal, Sun or German newspaper beat an hour earlier.
 If l can be of service to you in any of these three capacities, please write me just what particular kind of work won want, and I will guarantee to give you your moneys worth.

LEES IN 4 TRANCE.

C HIEF LEES IS supposed to have charge Of the
 police, and the police look out for the protec-
 - ton of the city well as in measure regu- late its morals Therefore his position is one Of inn portance, and his manner of filling matter of pub lie concern. Perhaps if once jared out of his sene ethargy the Chief would himself be grateful to have had the of his way made plain; after which he would fall asleep again.
 Gambling of certain sorts Is forbidden in San Fran cisco Faro, roulette and craps under the ban. There theory, and possibly sweetens the dreams of the hoary Chief that of the interdcted games runs here If he were to be aske1 about he would sputter indignant denial Yet that the games do run every man about town knows-that is, unless he happens to be the police force, in which case there might not be justification in suspectng him of knowing anything
 Had the Chief ferreted out and stopped these H. legal games to have commended him would have been pleasure Alas! that pleasure has been with held. In the interests of good order The Call has itself been obliged to do police work, and this ing makes the result known The Chief IS welcome to the information He Is welcome to act upon 1t and swell anew with pride having hunted the gamblers lair and scattered the chips afar. To find just where the rooms located he needs but turn to the local columns But will essay the informa ton that if he go in full uniform, his sword clankng martlally and h1s drum corps sounding gladsome note at his heels, the players will have flown.
 We do not expect the thanks of the Chief. The facts which will help him in his business are freely rendered. Here is opportunity for him to polish faded halo to a pleasing luster We entertain be- lief that the old is incompetent that he Is as able to direct ntellgently the of police force he is unfit to lead celestial choir If he ever knew, he has forgotten. Away back in the dinness of long gone years before the weight of decades had dghted upon him, he may have known thing or tYo. He doesn't now He has lost his grip. San Francisco is too big for him.

A sNEAKING CANDIDATE.

If Burns is a candidate, his campaign is sneaking one. Instead of coming out into the open and making the fight like a decent man, he Is attempting to gain by stealth an advantage which he could not hope to gain by honest, open method. The charge is freely made, and 1t has not been authoritatively denied, that State patron age is being used to promote his interest either as a candidate or as Warwick. The truth of this matter should be known to the public. and the sooner it is made known the better.
 Even those friends of Burns who make the claim that he is not a candidate for Senator agree on one point. They mod estly admit that he does want to name the next Senatorr The monumental effrontery of this proposition need not be dwelt upon. It is so obvious, so conspicu- ous, that comment Is superfiuous.
 Are the members of the California Leg isature prepared to abdicate their rights and to neglect their duty in this matter in order. to give Dan Burns an an opportunity to name the Senator?" We shall see
 The Senatorial fight will be on in earnest soon after the 1g Legislature a &ssem sen fornia will look to their Legislature to se- lect for that high position of honor ana trust a man who, is in every sense worthy Igo1 ny discharge it's arduous duties. The people will hold the Legislature to strict ac, countability in this matter. Ihey Will watch the progress of the contest with the keenest of interest and will be quick to perceive the slightest inclination on the part of any Of our legislators to betray the cause of the people into the hands of the peoples enemies.
 Public opinion demands the selection, not of Dan Burns, nor of any other politi- cal trickster, but of Droad-minded, lib eral and able man, who will serve his State with credit in the national Legisla- ture instead of disgracing it.
