A FOUR MONTHS RECORD.
Sergeant Sheo and His Posse c Terror in tbe Chinese
 District

Without any desire on his part to make a public display of his official acts. Sergeant Patrick Shea of the Chinatown squad, has made as fine record during the four months that he has been on duty in the Chinese quar- ters as any other officer who has had charge of that district in a number of years. Probably Sergeant Spiilane out did him in the number of arrests made while this officer had charge, but with out exception Shea has done more to stop gambling than any other officer. During the past four months over 1000 arrests have been made by the posse in charge of Shea. Those arrests were not made to swell the record, but were made when the perpetrators were caught in the act of violating the laws. The result has been that in the major ity of the arrests made there were con- victions.
 As a result of this work gambling in Chinatown has been reduced to a mini mum if not entirely stopped. Opium smoking, too, has received a condition al quietus at the hanus of this officer. so much so that the whites who have acquired the habit of hitting the pipe" have been forbidden to resort to the Chinese quarter for their accustomed solace.
 Sergeant Shea expects to be relieved from the Chinatown detail in the course of a few days now.

"CAPPERS" ARE BUSY.
Attorney Frupk p Kelly After the
 ScoIps of Some of Them.

Attorney Frank P. Kelly made a complaint to Judge Low yesterday about the actions of several ''cappers' around the police courts and, if known, complaints will be sworn out for their arrest.
 Kelly was employed by Mrs. Nellie Cook to defend her against charge of assault with a deadly weapon upon Lee Wah, a Chinese, in Judge Lows court Friday While Mrs. Cook was waiting outside the court room till her case was called the ''cappers" came around her thrusting the cards of at torneys in her face and vilifying Kelly, who is a reputable attorney and is en- ployed by the Southern Pacific to de- fend their cases in the police courts
 Mrs. Cook accompanied Kelly yester- day with the object of pointing out any of the "cappers" who importuned her the previous day, but none of them could be seen.
 The Judge promised to teach them severe lesson if they were arrested and brought into his court.

MOONLIGHT IN
 SUNSET VALLEY A Section of the City Where Candles and Coal Oil
 Are LuxuPieS. Night Visiting Between Neighbors Only When Nature Dispels
 Darkness.

Moonlight to the residents of Sun set Valley is as welcome as is sunshine to the residents of the Klondike at this season of the year.
 The reason for this condition of af- fairs is that the people living in the Sunset Valley although belonging to the municipality of San Francisco are as devoid of artificial lights as if the section was 100 miles distant from any civilized community. As a result of this condition neighbors never think of making visits after sundown unless they provide themselves with a dark lantern.
 Strange as it may seem, it is a fact that there are no gas or electric lights provided for the residents of the Sun set Valley. The lamps nearest the val ley are fully a mile distant, at the cor ner of Carl and Stanyan streets, and from this place out to the ocean there is not glimmer of artificial light save what is produced by either candle or coal oil within the houses in the dis trict. The generous" gas and cleo tric light company has time and again made fair promises to run an electric wire into the dismal valley of dark ness. but, alas, corporation promises and corporation conscience seem about on a par in this respect.
 The Supervisors, to whom the tax payers rightly look for relief, have been equally profuse in their promises. but with similar result.
 It is only within the past few months that the great municipality of the Queen City of the Pacific took steps to even put in a sewer for the use of the people, and even this would not have been done had it not been for the interference of the health department of the city. As to water supply the residents simply dig wells in their back yards and pump what is neces- sary for the family use But with the water company there is an excuse on the ground that the streets are not laid out or graded and until this is done it would be unfair to expect the compa- ny to put in mains. No such excuse can be advanced on the part of the gas and electric light company, so the property owners say, from the fact that wires can be strung over sand hills, streets or no streets.
 At a recent meeting of the Sunset Irnprovement Club strong and stinging resolutions were passed on the desid- erata here enumerated, as also that of DrONldlng the SeclipH WltH d eCneIIllcdl engine for the protection of the homes of the people.
 The following petition was ordered by the club, to be forwarded to the Su- pervisors:
 To the Honorable the Board of Super visors of the City and County of San rancisco-Gentlemen: We, the under signed executive committee of the Sun set District Improvement Club. by order of said club and on behalf of the resi- dents and property-owners of Sunset Dis trict, again most respectfully petition your honorable board to give us light in our district. Although we have repeat edly petitioned the Board of Supervisors we have been left in utter darkness nightly up to the present time.

No justifiable motive for its publication is shown or attempted to be shown, wherefore the law says such libel is presumed to have been Our Penal Code defines what is mali ciOus in subdivision 1 of section :, which reads thus: The words malice and .maliciOusly' import a wish to veX. annoy or injure another person or an intent to do a wrongful act. established either by proof or presumption of law"
 Section 250 Penal Code. as We have seen, establishes what is malice in crim- 1nal libel and thus furnishes what sec ton : says is all that is needed, viz: "A presumption of law"
 Independent of this code provision it is the rule in criminal proceedings for libel that where the article is libel ous per seas in this case-it is not State Vs. Brady. 4 Pac. Rep. 9iS. and Haley vs. State. 63 Ala, 8. and 8 Green leaf on Evidence, 6lS, and State vs. Mason, 26 Or. 2T3.
 The case of State vs. Mason. 2s Or. 273, decided in November, 1894. is almost identical with the one now before me. In that case the same plea was made by the defendant as is interpoSed here, but the Supreme Court of Oregon in very learned and exhaustive decision. written by Chief Justice Bean lone of the brightest legal minds in our~coun- try. brushed is aside as founded neither in law nor justice.
 In that case 1t was decided that under a statute providing that if any person shall publish or cause to be pub lished concerning another any false or scandaiOus matter with rintent to in 1ure or defame, he shall be punished etc. it is not necessary to constitute the offense of libel that the publisher should have entertained a specific malicious in tent 10 injure and defame the prosecut- ing witness as the natural and probable consequence of the publication is to in npflnR q " " n fer that the publisher intended the re- suits of his act"
 Our Supreme Court in Taylor vs. Hearst, 107 Cal, 262 uses this language. which Is very opposite: t'Libel is a false and unprivileged publication which exposes any person to hatred. contempt. ridicule or OblOquy. or which causes him to be summed or avoided. or which has a tendency to injure him in his busi- ness. and hte proprietor of a newspaper in which a libel is published, though he had no knowledge of the publication at the time, is as responsible for it as he would have been if it had been done by him personally or under his direct supervision
 Such should be the law. The pub fisher or managing editor of a news paper should be made civilly and crim- inally responsible for libels appearing therein. Otherwise the publisher and editor could reside in New York and publish the worst libels against the best citizens of California, and escape pun lShmenr because they ulc not personally see them before publication.
 If a man gives another man a ton of powder and a lighted torch to play with, and an explosion results. surely he should be held liable.
 For these reasons and upon these au- thorities, I must hold the defendant to answer and it is so ordered. and his bail is fixed at the sum of one thousand dollars.
