TO MAKE A TEST CASE
Police Justices Will Garry the Cues
ton to the Supreme Court

The question of the validity of the city
police courts is to be passed upon by the
state supreme court as soon as test case
can be prepared so as TO fi.e 1t in that
court. The determination to take the mat
ter at once to the court of last resort was
made yesterday by the two justices, the
legality of whose acts are in question. On
the docket of Justice Owens court yester-
day was the case of George Mitchell, who
was charged with disturbing the peace.
He is said to have raised disturbance IN
a lodging house several days ago and for
this he was arrested on complaint of the
proprietor of the place. He was found
guilty by the court and his sentence was
$50 fine or thirty days in jail. He was not
locked up but was released until such time
as the papers for the proper application for
a writ of habeas corpus can be prepared
and presented before the supreme court.
Care was taken to have the case tried in
such a manner as to make 1t possible to
raise the question as to its legality. am
when the matter is presented before the
court all the points about which there is
any question will be argued and decision
will of course cover the entire ground.
This action was thought to be necessary.
inasmuch as there was a possibility that
some such case might be taken before some
superior court judge other than Judge Van
Dyke, and that a decision wholly at vari-
ance with his ruling might be rendered
When the supreme court passes upon the
matter it will of course be final settle
ment of the veXed question as to whether
the police courts have any legal existence.

ELECTED FROM THE TRAIN
Lizzie Riley Sues the Santa Fe Rail
way Company For Damages

The Southern California Railway com
pany and II. C. Brown appear as the de
PENDANTS in a suit filed yesterday after
noon. in which 5000 damages are asked.
1t appears that Lizzie Riley, the plaintiii
in the action, was one of two colored girls
who came here recently from Cincinnati
and who purchased two first class round
trip tickets from the company's authorizes
agent at that place, good until June 2l' lssS.
On the 9th day of February she boardej
the Santa Fe train en- route to her home
when she vas approached by one n. C.
Brown and asked to show her ticket Upon
her complying she was requested to write
her name, which. when done. was pro-
nounced forgery, her ticket being taken
I'D and she was elected at Pasadena.
The II. C. Brown, it since was learned
was a spotter in the employ of the South
ern Pacific Railway company. Some time
ago that company claimed that the Santa
Fe was not jealous enough in their efforts
in guarding against the use of scalpers
tickets. and agreed that If they would al
low them to make investigations, that
should any liability occur the Southern Pa
cific company would assume the RESPONSE
billty.
The Santa Fe company agreed to Their
proposition, with the result as herein SCI

ing and will be ready for the fight hours be-
fore 1t is called. II is underst TODD that he

as referee. were surprised at his fine
condition. The fight tomorrow night viii

Bob Thompson will be the favorites. The
Athletic club under whose auspices the
fights will take place, has made every
preparation for the accommodation OF

sMUGaLED OPIUM SEIZED
Patrolman Phillips Finds Severa
Hundred Pounds of It

Patrolman Phillips yesterday captured
one of the largest opium outfits that have
been discovered by the police for several
months. He had been informed that there
was a large quantity of crude opium in a
certain room in Chinatown, and going
there he discovered several large boxes
which were so labeled as to indicate that
they contained dry goods. Upon opening
tkem the officer found that they contained
opium all of which had been smuggled, as
none of it bore any revenue stamp. The
whole lot was seized and taken to the po-
lice station. With it was also seized sew
eral boxes of yen shee (opium that has
been smoked and then scraped from tho
bowls of the pipes). The owner of the
stuff was not found, and it was therefore
impossible to make any arrests.

RAILWAY NOTES
Cut Rates to the East Not Effective in
This City

The railway war caused by the Canadian
Pacific has not reached this city, so trav
elers here have to pay the same old rates.
In San Francisco the Canadian road has
made a rate via steamer to Victoria of $40
first class to New York. and $50 second
class. Unless there is another cut, which
is improbable. there will be no advantage
to be gained from the slashing hereabouts,
as the Southern Pacific has declared that
| it will not join in the war. This company
has about ali of the Klondike business orig
mating on its line that it can take care Of
well.
Four train loads of tourists from the east
arrived yesterday via the Southern Pacific
route

ings every week, preparing for the cele-
