DOL SELLING DECISION
o1p11TANCE HELD TO BE VALID
ny JUDGE SMITH
THE CAPTION NOT DECISIVE
Ordinance Itself Prohibitive Though
Title Would Convey Impression
That It Was Restrictive
THE CAPTION NOT DECISIVE

Judge Smith yesterday rendered Writ
ten decision of the pool selling case, en-
titled the People VS.. f. Weitzell, appeaieu
from the police court, and held that the
city ordinance was prohibitory in It's ma
ture. and not merely intended to regulate
the selling of pools, as might be inferred
from the reading of the caption. The de-
fendant was convicted in the police court
Of Los Angeles for violation of the pool
ordinance. section one Of which states that
a shall be unlawful for any person to
carry on or in any capacity assist In carry
ing ON the business of pool room, or
making books" or selling pools on races
or other contests within the corporate
limits Of Los Angeles, provided that TINS
ordinance shall not prohibit making DOCKS
or selling pools during race meeting on any
track or ground all or any part or which
is within the corporate limits.
The caption of the ordinance Is as 1oi-
lows: IAN ordinance restraining and regu-
latins the keeping Of pool rooms, selling OF
pools and making of books on races ana
other contests within the city of Los An
geles."
It was contended by defendant that the
ordinance is void because In excess of the
powers conferred by the city charter,
which provides that the city may pro
hibit and suppress this species of gamb-
ling. but nowhere authorizes the city to
regulate" the same. Judge Smith held
that it was not obligatory upon the council
to state the full meaning of an ordinance
In Its caption, and that the ordinance Itself
Is prohibitory. In accordance with such
ruling. the court held the ordinance to be
a valid one, and the Judgment was af-
frmed

POKER ROOMS
Legality of Their Operation Submitted
to the Supreme Court

A petition for a writ of habeas corpus
was filed with the clerk of the supreme
court yesterday by w. H. Shinn, Esq, in
behalf of a client, J. p Wilson, who al
leges therein that he is imprisoned illegally
by John NJ. Glass, chief of police of Los
Angeles The iliegality alleged consists
in his detention on charge of violation of
the city ordinance prohibiting games of
chance within the city limits. Petitioner
was arrested for misdemeanor, In company
with A. B. Smith, on the complaint of F..
II. Steele, who alleged that defendants
were in charge of a room on Main street in
this city wherein a game of poker had
been PLAYED from which defendants de-
rived a profit by renting and selling the
cards, furniture, lights and room, all being
contrary to the municipal enactments. 1t
is alleged that such arrest and imprson-
ment We're Illegal, the council having no
legal right to pass such an ordinance, no
authority for it's passage existing in the
city charter; that said ordinance is uncon-
stitutional, and void in this: That poker,
or draw-poker, or a game played with
cards, is not an unlawful game, and the
conducting of a room for the playing of
game with cards is not unlawful; nor is It
unlawful to take compensation for the
renting or selling of cards or furniture, or
lights. or rooms, or by any other direct or
indirect way; and that said ordinance is
an unlawful attempt to restrain trade and
curtail personal rights. Wherefore a writ
Is asked for, directing Chief Glass to have
the body of Wilson before the court for the
purpose of inquiring into the cause of his
detention, and that he may be restored to
liberty.

CRAZED BY GRIEF
A Burbank Rancher Loses His Wife
and Goes Mad

Andrew Kuntz Of Burbank was examined
on the charge Of insanity before Judge
Clark yesterday and ordered committed
to the Highland asylum. Kuntz is Ger
man, so years of age, who came to this state
six years ago. A shoemaker by trade, he
eked out living for himself ana famiiy
in that line and in farming. having ac-
quired an interest in 0-acre ranch at
Burbank. His wife died on August II Of
this year, under very painful circum-
stances, and that event weighed heavlly
upon his mind. A few nights ago he fell
asleep and dreamed that his wife would re-
turn to him. Waking suddenly he fell
from the table on which he was lying and
ran to his neighbors in great excitement,
shouting the good news of his wife's ex-
pected return. Whether insane or suffer-
ing from nightmare, they could not deter
mine from his incoherent statement OF the
case, but they failed to quiet him and he
came that night to the city, where even
tually he gave himself up to tn police.
Kuntz appeared to realize the strange
ness of his action when under examination,
and rehearsed the incidents of his eXpe-
rience quite as lucidly as the witnesses,
but persisted in the expression of the belief
that his life was endangered from poison
and in his denunciation of certain Catho-
lie priests, with whom he wanted an ac-
counting His present condition is ascribed
by his neighbors to grief on account of his
Wifes untimely death and to the fact that
she was left for several hours by her ply
sicians when in highly critical phase of
her illness.
Three children are left of the family, two
little girls. now at the Catholic asylum in
this city, and boy. who was recently sent
to similar retreat of the church in Ana

solicitude for their welfare, but said he

Biddy Mason, Mrs, Washingtons mother.
now deceased Mrs. Washington received
@ half interest in one store and. thinking
that she was not receiving her full share
of the rental earnings, sued Owens for an
accounting. She testified to receiving only
$25 per month and the apparent earnings of
her interest in the property were consider
ably In excess of that sum.
Owens, in defense of his action as agent
or trustee of his aunt, submitted memorar-
da of expense incidental to the mainten-
ance of the property and to the payment Of
bills contracted by Mrs. Washington, which
he claimed as IN offset to her account The
