THE STATES DEMURRER
 AT LAST 0VERRUlED
CODE COMMISSIONERS CLAIM
 AGAINST THE STATE.
Contention That Daly Could Not Draw a Fee While Acting in an Extra-O Official Ca
 pacity in Error.

By decision rendered by Judge Heb bard yesterday the claim of Code Com missioner J. c. Daly to a large remu- neration for services done the State is apparently ell founded. The decision Is not final, simply being a decision over ruling a demurrer set up by the State to the complaint filed by Commissioner Daily. but it goes a long way toward establish ing the justice of the claim made.
 Some time ago Daily brought suit against the State to recover $10, GOO for le- gal services rendered. These services were in behalf of the Railroad Commis- sion one of the attorneys for the de- fense, in an action brought by the South ern Pacific Company against that board to restrain the enforcement Of schedule of rates adoptee for the transportation Of freights for all roads operated by the Southern Pacific Company. The case was heard in the United States Circuit Court, and Daly was employed with the special consent of the Attorney General of the State. At that time he was drawing missioner, but as he had obtained consent he held that he was entitled to appear as an attorney in the trial of the railroad case.
 When the case was decided Daily de- manded payment for the services he had rendered, but his demand met with re- fusal. He then brought suit in the State courts to recover the amount he thought was due him. The State set up a de- murrer to the complaint, arguing that the plaintiff had no cause of action, for the reason that being an official in the em- ploy of the State he could not legally ap- pear for the railroad company in an ex- tra- official capacity. Judge Hebbard over ruled the demurrer, however, but granted the State ten days within which to file its answer.

Her Family Allowance
 Is Reduced $500.
NOW ONLY S1OOO A MONTH
THE REDUCTION WAS MADE ON
 HER MOTION.
It Is Her Wish to Augment the Trust Fund Left to the
 Benefit of the
 University.

If charitable inclinations and self-sac- rifice in the interests of a laudable cause prove of avail. Leland Stanford Jr. Uni- versity will soon reach the zenith of it's fame, and It's rising fame will never pass the zenith. but will remain to always stand as a monument telling what wealth will do when coupled with ambitious pilr pose and affectionate remembrance. For many years, since the death of the late Senator Stanford, Mrs. Stanford has labored hard in behalf of the now great institution. The stories of her nbeTa)ity and sacrifice in order to more firmly build the foundation on which the future of !he college is builded are known in every household. and now another story comes to light.
 In Judge Coffeys Department of the SlJeroi Court a petition was heard yes terday by Judge Hunt in which Ms. Stanfo I'd. on her own motion, asked that the family allowance at present paId her frCm he1 estate be reduced from $500 a read without comment and when the reading was concluded Judge Hunt made the order. The reason for the request was not stated. It Is known, however, that Mrs. Stanford wishes that the trust fund set aside for the benefit of the college creasing. which might result were the ii1- stitution to be at the present time thrown on its own resources. Eighteen thousand dollars year, the amount that will now be added to the trust fund, will go long way toward paying the expenses of the fortune should place an obstacle In the path of progress now enjoyed at the in- Stitutfon 1t will have an augmented fund to depend upon in its days of hardship.

There was a gathering of about 150 sewing women in front of Metropolitan Temple at an early hour last evening in response to an announcement that a meeting was to be held in the auditorium to take steps in regard to securing Gov ernment work which Is now being done by Chinamen.
 After waiting fully an hour in expecta- ton of having the doors opened for them an investigation resulted In ascertaining the fact that no one had made arrange ments for the renting of the hall. The women thereupon became very indignant and denounced Labor Commissioner Fitz- gerald and also Miss Ansel, who last Sun- day had announced that q meeting would be held Wednesday evening in the Tenn ple. Finally, the janitor took the respon- sibility of allowing them to use the small hall on Jessie street. Miss Ansel now ap- peared upon the scene and, mounting the platform soon calmed the ruffied tenn pers. She made quite stirring speech

THE RULES OF AN
 ORDER ARE BINDING THEODORE GROWNEY FAILS
 TO GET RELIEF.
An Old Principle Regarding Incor- porated Fraternal Organiza- tions Affirmed by Judge
 Hebbard.

A decision was handed down by Judge Hebbard yesterday in which it was held that members of fraternal organizations are not entitled to appeal to the courts from decision of the highest tribunals of their orders regarding rules to which they have voluntarily submitted, unless an affirmative showing of fraud Is made The decision was rendered in the case of Theodore Growney against United Lodge A. O. U. w.
 The facts which led Growney to bring suit against the lodge are not without in- terest. Several years ago the lodge pro- vided for and created an exempt fund, to the benefits of which all members who had attained the age of 50 years were en- titled. Growney contributed to the fund up to November. 1893. when he became 60 years of age, and then. as he thought, be- came entitled to the benefits of the ex- empt fund. In December of the following year, however, the lodge repealed the by law providing for the creation of the fund and 1t was ordered distributed. Growney appealed to the Grand and Su- preme Lodges of the order, but in each event the case was dismissed. He then took the matter into the courts, but Judge Hehbard decided that the plaintiff was bound by the decision of his order and was not entitled to relief in the court of Ia w
