A FELON HAS RIGHTS.
A Peculiar Irial in Southern Cali
 fornia Criminal Court.

The Justices of the Supreme. Court have made an important decision. It is in eff feet. that while a case is being tried the Judge before whom the cause Is being heard must attend to his duties and hear what both sides have to say. This may seem a peculiar ruling, but the matter which gave rise to it Is more surprising.
 In Los Angeles County c. l.. Tupper was on trial for a serious crime, felony that would open the gates of San Quentin to him. It looked as though it was case of striped garments for him. and much evidence was presented. After a while the Judge became weary and took re- cess all by himself. It was not stated whether he went out to get a drlnk or dinner, or what, but he was gone TOT nearly half an hour and the case Wena along just the same. Tupper was con victed and sentenced by the Judge when he came back, but Tupper did not like the way it was done, neither did his at torney, nor the Justices of the Supreme Court. The latter in sending the case back for a retrial says:
 "There can be no court without Judge. and all that was done in the absence of the Judge was in fact done in the ab- sence of the court. A defendant convicted under such circumstances has been de priVed of his liberty without due pro- cess of law"
 The judgment and order of the lower court was reversed and a new trial of the case was ordered.

ONE MILLION CLUB FORMED
ITS OBJECT TO CLOSE SALOONS
 THROUGH BALLoT-BoX.
By Securing the Pledge of Voters the Organizers Hope to Force Ma tional Parties to Take
 Action.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Nov 27.-Chrstian Temper ance young people all over the United States are preparing for the formation of an organization to be known as the One. Million Club, which will wage relentless warfare against the liquor traffic. us.ng as a weapon the ballot-bOX. Chicago will be the headquarters of the new organization. and from this city it has already received a strong impetus.
 The One Million Club will differ from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. in that it's energies will be entirely d. rected toward the election of officials and tickets pledged to work for the 'suppres- sion of the saloon. While not exactly on the plan of the Prohibition party. the One Million Club has for its object the same aims the PrOhibitionists.
 It is not the intention of the young people to put ticket in the political neld, but to indorse tickets which contain plank in the platform pledging, war against liquor. The members will all be pledged to vote for the ticket selected re- gardless of political belief.
 Miss Eva M. Shontz, president of the Chicago Young Peoples Christian. Tenn perance Union, is interested in. the forma- tion of the new club. She said to-day: Before the national conventions of 1900 we hope to have LOO 900 voters pledged to use suffrage against the liquor traInc. and from this it takes its name. An effort will be made to induce one or two great political parties to include in the platform a temperance plank. In the event Of sue cess in this direction one of these parties will be indOrsed.
 will receive the votes of the members of the organization. If we can succeed In get ting 1000 O00 voters pledged to help us in this fight we feel our strength could be so great that both Republicans and Dem ocrats would be anxious for our indorse- ment."
 Steps are being taken toward calling delegates to meeting at which all States will be represented in this city in Janu- -<l1,. aNf already begun through the medium of correspondence.

he placed his relative, John E. Farnum, in the Pacific Bank. Farnum was there to protect the interests of Sherman, and one of his duties in this connec- ton was to call in every coupon cer- tificate bearing the name of Moses H. Sherman and reissue the certificates of the bank that had been given to bona fide depositors. In this way Sherman's obligation was erased from the records of the bank and from the coupon cer- tifcates. Farnum pledged the bank to pay what Sherman owed. The great schemer of Los Angeles thus secured at one touch of the pen $50,000 more from the vaults of the Pacific Bank.
 After the Pacific Bank closed Sher man perfected another gigantic deal. He had in the bank his personal note for $49,000 This note, in conjunction with Frank V. Mcdonald, he had signed. and necessarily was responsible for it's payment. He had received the money that the face of the note repre- sented Frank Mcdonald had signed his name to the document as matter of absurd friendship for Sherman. It was this fact that saved Sherman from the obligation. He pointed out to Dick Mcdonald the danger of allowing offi cial investigators or the public to know that Frank Mcdonald, an officer of the bank, had signed such a note. It was unwise, Sherman declared, to have such a note in existence. and Dick McDon- aid, deluded by the representations of this schemer, returned the note to him. and all trace of another gigantic deal was plotted out of the records of the Pacific Bank. In this way Moses H. Sherman operated in the ruins of the institution he had destroyed. He be- came almost literally a financial scav- enger
 The Call will show tomorrow morn ing how he effected another deal of s6O, 900 and won the money by satisfying his confederates that he had bought the honor of the City Council of Los An geleS

This evening the so called Atlas Ath- letic Club, formerly the Bohemia Club, will give an alleged boxing exhibition at a hall on Turk street. The club has an- nounced that 1t will give six bouts be tween boxers picked up from among the small fry about town: It is hoped the sergeant of police In charge will see that the contestants are fit to enter into a nhysical contest before they are permitted to don gloves.

CLAIM 1T is ILLEGAL.
Republicans In Kansas Looking Up a Law
They Say VIII Nallify the Present
Extra session.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 27.-Thes fact
that Gov. Leedy did not declare in his
message that an emergency existed
sufficient to require the calling Of the
legislature in special session has
raised question whether every act OF
this session cannot be absolutely
nullifed by the supreme court Repub-
lican lawyers and members of the
legislature are at work In the
state library hunting decisions
on the question whether the su.
preme court can review the act of
the governor of the state. 1t has
never been attempted in Kansas. It's
claimed that in Ohio and nine other
states decisions have been given to the
effect that the governors act is subject
to review by the supreme court, and
precedent exists for declaring that he
is not the final judge of whether an
emergency exists.
