JUSTICES COURT.
Lawyer Hart Says They Are Not
Involved in the Issue.

In the habeas corpus proceedings be-
fore the Supreme Court in San Francis
co on Wednesday, in which the Ques-
ton of the legal status of the Police
Court of this city is involved, S. r. Hart
appeared for the defendant and pet
itioner and made an argument in sup
port of the petition. He has returned TO
the city, and says it is reasonable to ex-
pect decision of the case by the SUI
preme Court to-day or tomorrow.
Mr. Hart says that his only conten-
ton before the court was relative to the
Police Court, and that he refused to per-
nit the questions as to the Justices
Courts to be dragged in. His point
and on that he says the case hinges-is
that there is no Police Court in Sacra-
mento, because such court cannot be es-
tablished by concurrent resolution of the
Legislature. There is nothing else, he
says, in the case as presented to The
appellate tribunal. to be passed on. :

When the revenue commissioner was

said Mr.. Mcguire yesterday. aside
from the war tax the theateTs in Mon
are taxed higher than they are in

In Butte the tax on "a house is SIS "A

the little town OF Hamilton the house
is taxed 81 "A night for the town and Sc

tax on a theater is so a year. The
city of san Francisco gets $500 a year
from each house. but that includes ev-

Montana are taxed to death"
