County Government Act Too.

County Government ACT 100.
Justices Henshaw, Van Dyke. Temple,
Harrison and Garoutte concur directly in
the opinion written by Justice Mcfarland.
that the law is unconstitutional from the
fact of it's having been enacted in fTag-
mentary form, but dissents from the view
that the subject is inadequate. He con-
tends that the Code of Civil Procedure is
clearly defined.
In an interview the Chief Justice stated:
While the Code of Civil Procedure is the
only code directly involved in the decision Of
the court the Penal Code, the Civil Code and
the county governments act would all seem
affected by the same line of argument, as all
were enacted in the same manner. The other
cases have not as yet come before the court
and there may be difference in them which
will affect the decision of the court
The question as to the validity of the
codes was brought up in the Supreme Court
on August in five different proceedings
in mandamus The cases were instituted
to make certain Judges perform duties
from which they were freed under the
new codes. Incidentally the Attorney
General brought up the question and the
lawyers in the succeeding cases advanced
the same arguments, so all were referred
to the court at the same time. Those yet
tie be decided are ellis VS.. Judge Jones of
San joaquin County, LeventOn VS.. Judge
Harrington of ModOc County, in connec-
ton with the Lookout lynchings, and
Watt vs. Judge Cook of San Francisco.

Clement Aragon, 16; Charles Aragon, p,

in the City Prison pending the result of
the wound and an investigation by the
police.
The room in which the shooting took
place was occupied by Clement Aragon.
Rodriguez slept with him Wednesday
night and about l o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon Policemen Nelson and Maloney
were notified by the landlady of the house
that Rodriguez had been shot. When
they entered the room they found Glenn
ent Aragon supporting the unconscious
form of Rodriguez, who had been shot in
the head. They summoned the ambulance
and Rodriguez was sent to the Receiving
Hospital, where the opinion was expressed
that he would die.
The officers noticed that pane of glass
in the window of the room was broken
and Aragon said he had thrown the re-
volver, in his excitement, through the
window to the roof of the adjoining
building, where Policeman Nelson found
it. There were loaded cartridges in it
and two empty ones. The officers also
noticed a hole in the ceiling, evidently
made by bullet, and part of the plaster
was scattered on the floor, showing that
the shot had been recently fired.

Injury Was Inflicted Shooting Was Accidental

Mendez Owned Revolver.
Charles Aragon and Mendez had just
returned from the docks, where they had
been working as longshoremen, when
they were notified of the shooting. Men,
DEE admitted that the revolver belonged
to him and was taken from him by
Charles Aragon some days ago and that
Charles gave it to Clement.
The Aragons came here from Las Vegas,
N. M, two or three weeks ago and got
employment on the docks as longshore-
men during the strike. The police are
handicapped in their investigation, as no
one was in the room except Aragon and
Rodriguez, and they cannot find any one
who heard any shots.

The Supreme Court yesterday declared
unanimously that the Code of Civil Pro-
cedure as revised and amended during the
last session Of the Legislature is uncon-
stitutional. Chief Justice Beatty says
that the fate of the Penal Code, the Civil
Code and the county government act will
probably be the same. The work of the
Code Commission, covering a period Of
seven years and costing directly about
100000, is rendered valueless. The fault
seems, by the decision of the Supreme
Court, to rest entirely on the carelessness
of Governor Cages appointees in present
ing the revisions and amendments for en-
actment in an unconstitutional form.
The statutes will remain as they were
before the new codes were adopted. The
outlook is not pleasant, for courts all
over the State will now be beset with
difficulties. Scores of cases will have to
lions for new trials will be presented in
dismaying numbers. The Code of Civil
Procedure is the only one directly in
volved in the decision, but half-dozen
cases in which the other codes mentioned
are concerned are before the Supreme
Court and must apparently be annulled
for the same reasons.
Article w of the State constitution, re-
ferring to provisions and amendments,
says:
No law shall be revised or amended by ref
erence to its title: but in each case the act
revised or section amended shall be re-enacted
Every act shall embrace but one subject, which
shall be expressed in its title.

This afternoon at 80 some one called
up the police station by telephone, and
said that two or three noisy DRINKS
were in the back yard of Clarence

was not wanted. Patrol Driver Asher
and Guard Boyd were sent to investi-
gate, the scene being less than a block
from the Jail They found William Law
less, the Quincy street livery man and
N. s. White, a horse dealer.
Lawless became unruly, and refused
to go to the station, and required the
attention of Sergeant McElroy, Asher
Boyd and Pavey to move him. Boyd at
tempted to pick up Lawless' feet, in
tending to carry, instead of dragging
him. but received a heavy kick in the
mouth. Officer Pavey then struck the
fighting prisoner several times, which
seemed to increase his rage. He con-
tinued to struggle until after he was
locked in a cage. White was also lock-
ed up, but gave the officers no serious
trouble.

New York, Oct. 30.-Aiss C. Becerra, the

family at Port of Spain, where her father,
who is now blind, has resided since his

Her brothers are consulS for Colombia

Trinidad she succeeded in eluding those
set to watch her, and dressed as a nun,
escaped to Trinidad, Miss Becerra, who
