Greek and Roman Courts Tried Cases
in Advance.
During the centuries Immediately
preceding and those following the
opening of the Christian era the volun-
tary death idea was at it's worst
Broadly speaking the teachings of all
the philosophers, orators and poets Of
the time was that suicide was not only
justifiable, but was a noble and cour-
ageous act, says the Boston Traveller
Among the propagators Of this doctrine
may be mentioned Plato, Cicero, Sene-
ca, Epictetus, Cleanthes and Marcus
Aurelius, and it can be truthfully as
serted that many of the greatest men
of pagan Europe died by their own
hands. In this way Aristotle, Demos
themes, Zeno, Cato, Brutus, Hannibal,
Mark Antony and many others met
their deaths. The popularity of sui
eide must have been due, to a certain
extent, to the teaching of the learned
men of the time. Nevertheless, it
would not be correct to class even a
majority of the suicides of this period
among the Greeks and Romans as the
result of any teaching, although many
were undoubtedly due to this cause. It

WILL TEST THE STAMP ACT.
Restaurant Men Fight Against Pay
 ing One Cent on Wine.

The restaurant keepers have decided not to stand the war tax of one cent that at the present time they are compelled to pay on all bottles of wine served to their customers with ordinary meals. As has been stated in The Cal, in large num- Der of the eating houses in tnis city a small bottle of wine is served with meals, and in the course of a week at the rate of one cent on every half pint and two cents for over one pint the restaurant keepers feel that they are paying more than their share of the war tax. Several schemes were suggested for evading. this tax, such as serving the wine in pitchers, but none were deemed to be safe.
 - After some discussion 1t was decided to get the advice of a lawyer and see if there is any way of avoiding the pay ment of the same. The services of Attor- ney Youngberg, who has great experience in internal revenue matters. were ob- tained, and he is of the opinion that 1t was not the Intention of those who creat- ed the act to apply 1t In the manner to Whlch there IS SO much objection. For several days he has been among the res taurant men and those who sell wines for the purpose of learning how many will support night against the tax. So far ne has met with success. and there will bs plenty of money to make a test case or the one cent stamp proposition.

 The question of the form of the call for the State Convention was then taken up, and Governor Budd moved that the various counties be instructed to elect delegates in the same manner as at the last general election. This brought Mo Nab to his feet. He. said 1t was useless to attempt to elect delegates in San Francisco by primaries as experience had proved Democratic primaries here to be notorious humbugs.

DEAD WOMAN'S WATCH.
Police Vainly Trying to Locate the
 Important CleW.

The police are still seeking for the watch supposed to have been taken from the room of Sadie Carpenter the night she was murdered. One of Chief Lees sleuths is also keeping a close watch of Joe Lochner, and he will not be allowed to leave the city for a while. Although nothing has been found against the Ger man, the police still believe he Is the murderer.
 Lochner Is homeless outcast. All his former friends and acquaintances have cut him, and he Is not allowed to frequent his old haunts. When he was released from prison he went, to the Hubbard House. but was refused accommodations. Proprietor Raulet was notified by his tenants that they would all leave if toch- ner was permitted to lodge in the build ing.

He asked that the manner in which the delegates shall be selected be left to the various county committees, proposition that would leave the Gould-Alford-McN trium- virate in the full possession of their stolen authority in this city. The subject seemed to be too tender to admit of any controversy or discussion, so 1t was dropped as soon as the whispering boss had sufficiently pointed out the dangers that lay in the path of permitting the Democratic voters of this city to have a voice in the selection of delegates to rep- resent them at the State Convention.

He pressed the point so consistently that he raised a suspicion In the mind of Fitzgerald The gentleman from Alameda said that he was not acquainted with the situation in Los Angeles, but he was not in favor of taking any steps that would force upon the Democrats of that city conditions that were not acceptable to them. This seemed to be the general opinion, and a resolution was adopted directing county committees to take charge of the selec- tion of delegates and recommending that

CONDUCTING A BANKING GAME The Cases of W. D. Valentine and

The case of W. D. Valentine and M. R. Burke, charged with conducting a banking game at 19 Ellis street, was concluded before Judge Conlan yester- day, and the Judge dismissed both cases.
 A similar case was brought against Valentine recently, where he was charged with conducting percentage game and Judge Cook, on appeal, ac- duitted him. Judge Conlan, in view of that decision and also in view of the fact that in his opinion the evidence for the prosecution did not show that a banking game was carried on within the meaning of the statute, dismissed the cases.
