DENTAL LAW VALID.
The State Boards Rights to Prescribe
Qualifications.

The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the
constitutionality of the law requiring all
dentists to register and be licensed by the
State Board of Dental Examiners, in af-
frming the case of Daniel A. J. Ferner, Of
Portland, who was fined $25 by the Jay
County Circuit Court for practicing dentis-
try without a license. 1t was shown that
Ferner refused to apply for license be-
cause or personal grievance over the sys-
Examination. The court decided that the
law is constitutional although it gives the
state board the right to name members of
the examining board. and prescribes the
qualifications necessary to secure a license.

WORTHLESS PAPER
A WELL-CoNNECTED PASADENA
MAN IN JAIL
A. r. Perry Charged With Forging
His Mothers Name to Twenty
Five-Dollar Check

Arthur r. Perry, for five or six months
a gentleman of leisure. is once more pehind
the bars charged with the serious crime OF
forgery. Perry, who is a son of Mrs. {.
A. Perry, prominent and highly respected
resident of Pasadena. has been out on pa
role for the balance of three years sem
tence for forgery in Los Angeles, having
served fourteen months on his term.
While at San Quentin he was considered
model prisoner in every respect, and was
his Imprisonment. Heavy influence was
brought % bear from various points. ana
he was liberated on parole
Since that time he has apparently be-
haved himself fairly well until few weeks
ago, when he cashed a check for $25 on the
Pasadena National bank, signed by his
mother and made payable to himself. at
the Olympic saloon, on West First street,
kept by Mittendorf & Rogers. Some six
or eight days previous to the passing Of
the forged check he had cashed a small
one on the same bank for $l2. which had
been honored. The second one was re-
turned, however, marked mo funds" ami
doubt was expressed by the bank officials
as to the genuineness of the signature.
Every opportunity was given the young
man to square the matter up. but this he
failed to do. Yesterday l.. e. Mittendorf
swore to a complaint charging him with
forgery, which was put into the hands OF
the detectives. In the meantime Perry
learned Of this last move, and proceeded
forthwith to surrender himself to Detec-
tive Flammer, his reasons being that his
conscience troubled him.
A little investigation showed that check
for $15 on the same bank, and signed with
the same name, had been passed
by him on Paul Kerkow of the Vienna buf-
fet, and was also returned in due course,

ANOTHER TEST CASE
Right of Justices to Commit Migrants
to the City Jail Questioned

John Brown was convicted of vagrancy
yesterday by Justice Owens and sentenced
to ten days in the city Jail. If that was
all of the case it would not be worth at
tention, but on it will probably be tested
the right of justice Of the peace to SEN
tence man to the city Jail for vagrancy
Since the recent decision of Judge Van
Dyke, in which he he'd that the police
courts had no legal existence the two city
justices have been committing vagrants to
the county jail. 1t was decided to prose-
cute Brown under the city ordinance for
vagrancy, and pay no attention to the de-
cision. SO Brown was found guilty and was
sentenced as stated The justices them
selves desire that the case be tested, so
that they will know once for all, just what
they can do in such cases. There is a gem
eral belief among the attorneys who have
been questioned on the subject that the
city ordinance is not legal, in that there is
statute which covers the same ground
and, of course, the state law takes prece-
dence over the ordinance. OF course.
Brown has no means of appealing the case,
but it is probable that means will be pro-
vided and the legality of his commitment
will be determined

NO TROUBLE TO "BUST"

The matter of the hearing of his credit

street confectioner and dealer in oriental
brc-a- brac who went into insolvency in
December last. with liabilities aggregat-
ing s554S came up before Judge York
Yesterday and was submitted. He ad-
mitted that his sales in November and
December had amounted to nearly $1,000.
and that he expended this sum to pay in
debtedness.
Being requested to be precise, he gave an
item of 5000, which had been sent to his
father Mr.. GaZZelle, at a place called
Haricus, Greece. so that his sister could
marry. The next item was $50. He gave
that to his wife to buy clothes on Christ
mas. To his brother-n-law, Peter Cucia
who had worked for him about six months
he handed $780,
Julas said that he had borrowed some
$500 from his friend, Joseph Mostachia, who
has a ranch in the country, and when
things began to look rocky this man
placed an attachment upon the store
which did not, however, prevent 1t from
running as usual. The same day Craig
Stuart also attached the Greek. With his
looseness as a bookkeeper, he could not
keep track of things, but he had dis
tinct recollection that on the 1st of De-
cember he had no money and only $3.50
worth of stock on hand. In that month he
bought between $500 and sio0 worth of
goods and sold them at wholesale. With
the receipts thereof he paid $50 borrowed
money to George Sacca. his countryman,
and gave $175 to his mother-in-law
When Mr.. Winters of the Southern Cali
fornia Cracker company upbraided him
for his manner of doing business, and
threatened him with arrest, Julias be-
came incensed and told him that in that
event he would swear he had lost his
money at cards. He admitted that he
gambled in Chinatown when he felt like it
which was once or twice a week. For that
purpose he took money from the drawer.
In December he was very busy and could
not play lottery SO often. but he managed
to blow in $50.
He scorned the idea of going to visit
Alameda street cribs. II go to high-toned
place." he said, with pride, "but / don't
like to tell where because my wife might
find it out" In that way he spent from
500 to $l1O per month, and told his wife
that he deposited it in the bank, accord

THE END DRAWING NEAR
ARGUMENTS IN THE BLACKMAN
CASE COMMENCED
A SHORT cR0ss-ExAMINATIoN
The Defendant Denies All the Pecula-
tions Charged and Says That He
Made No Admissions

Arguments in the Blackman trial COM
menced Yesterday afternoon and must be
short. because the judge positively limited
ths prosecution to four hours and the de-
fense to five. Judge Cheney opened up for
the people and spoke only three-quarters
of an hour. At 4:SO when court adjourned
Earl Rogers, for the defense, had nearly
concluded his address to the jury. From
all appearances it is to be presumed that
tho case will be in their hands by o'clock
tonight.
Mrs. Blackman was recalled in the fore
noon. She maintained that when a clerk
of the Los Angeles Lighting company
called at her residence for some keys 1t
was for those which unlocked her husbands
private desk and not, as the prosecution
attempted to estaDlsn, tnose lnae oPeS
the inner safe.

made in Louis Vetter's office. NO one useu

shortage instead was CONSIDERABLY en-
ployed throughout, and these shortases
were merely alluded to IN genera w"s

roborated Mr.. Dobinson. No particular
shortage was spoken of. Everything re-
ferred to shortages in the office. uhoel

March, 1895, he had discovered tnat the
cash was wrong and that Bolton confessed
but he was not permitted to go on ABOUT
$1,000 had been taken Bolton told witness
that he had informed Mr.. Cline of the
fact and would make the deficiency up.
lBlackman agreed to fix it in the books.
On cross-eXamination the defendant ad-
mitted that he covered up this shortage
with a false entry. 1t never occurred TO
him to take away from Bolton the keys of
the safe or to alter the combination OF the
lock. Blackman did not appear to be very
much at his ease during this ordeal. which
fortunately for himself, was but short. The
gallant Shinn, however, flew to the rescue
as soon as his client was released from the
clutches of the impertinent McComas ana
under his fraternal coaching managed to
make Blackman say that the reason he
left the combination unchanged was be-
cause Bolton handled most of the money
before it was landed in the safe and that
it was before it got there that the cap
tain put it in his pocket.
w. B. Cline and W. A. Cheney were
called in rebuttal but their testimony in
nowise changed the aspect of the case,
and at 2:30 both sides rested. Today the
