The POrterS.

Last evening at the opera house Dr.
and Mrs. Jerome Porter entertained a
fair sized audience. The singing was
OF high class and the people that
attended seemed to thoroughly enjoy
the evening. The quartet singing was
one of the features of the evening,
while the solos were also thoroughly
enjoyed. Alter the concert a series of
moving pictures were shown that cap
tured the audience. The picture OF the
Temple OF Music at the Pan Ameri-
can Exposition shows the hall in which
the late President met his death. The
greatest set OF pictures shown was
that of the removal OF building and
the reconstruction. The pictures were
taken every hour during the course of
dismantling and likewise as the new
building was placed The result is
startling; a building mets and an
other takes its place. The Porters Ger
tainly gave the audience plenty OF
amusement.

A Happy Man.

Yesterday Tim O'Connor called at
the Appeal Office and stated that he
and his wife are now in possession of
their new home that has been built
by the liberal donations OF people in
this city and vicinity The new house
is more commodious than the one that
was destroyed by fire and just as we'll

llCy thank the people for their liber-
Atty and especially Warden Henderson
and Henry Daugherty as they took
the work OF experimenting the cree
ton OF the home and also the collect
ing OF the money upon themselves. To
the ladies of Carson who donated MANY
household fixtures both Mr.. and Mrs.
OConnor wish to thank The couple
are comfortably housed in a home OF
their own and are duly thankful to the

A Chance for Prune Culture.

In Washoe Valley at the Thompson
ranch two acres OF prunes are ripen-
ing with no effort to save the crop for
market use. AT the least calculation
five tons of fruit is hanging on the
trees, enough to supply the whole
State with that fruit for year to come.
his winter the merchants will send to
California for prunes that will be re-
tailed to the people, and they are of
no better quality than the fruit that is
raised in Washoe Valley The trees
are only about ten years old and for the
past four years have borne superior
crop OF the finest prunes that have been
exhibited in this section. There has
not been year in the four that fair
crop has not been matured, and in each
instance the fruit has not been used
as no one in this section seemed to
understand the art Of drying for the
market. 1t looks like a chance for
some enterprising individual to make
big sum of money in this business.
The fruit is equal to the best sold
and all it needs is some one to put it
in marketable shape. The people will
ingly pay the merchant the fancy prices
that the California growers demand
and the article is always good seller.
The experiment OF drying prunes in
this State should be given thorough
test, as the fact is established that the
fruit can be grown in abundance and
the size is equal to that OF other States
There is chance for some one to
make a snug fortune in prune culture
in this section.

Death of ChaS. Kaiser.

The tragic end of Senator Chas.
Kaiser, who was we'll known in this
city, seems to have been the result
OF physical suffering The San Fran
cisco Bulletin gives the following par
tiCulars:
Chas. Kaiser, superintendent of the
water and electric light works in Reno,
New, was instantly killed this morning
about o'clock by falling three stores
from the window of his apartments
at 6I5 Taylor street. 1t is the opin-
ion OF the coroner that Mr.. Kaiser who
had liver complaint, was seized with an
attack OF vertigo while raising the
window and was unable to protect him
self from falling.
The deceased. his wife, and his son
came to this State some weeks ago,
hoping the change would benefit Mr..
Kaiser who was sickly They went
to Santa Barbara for while and re-
turned to this city Tuesday. He had
been under the care of DR.. Ward
This morning Mrs. Kaiser and her
son went out of the room in which Mr..
Kaiser was sitting for a few minutes.
When they returned they were sur
prised to find the room vacant. On
looking out the window they saw sew
eral people running along the sidwalk
and on bending over to ascertain what
interested them, Mrs. Kaiser and her
son were Mortified to see it was the
PROSTATE form of Mr.. Kaiser.

stein, who were in the vicinity. pro-
nounced Mr.. Kaiser dead The body
was removed TO the Morgue by Deput-
les Mccormick and Donohue An in

testified that his father was 20 years old

He thought death was accidental. and

The Game Law Constitutional

Yesterday the game law that was
passed by the last legislature was de-
clared constitutional by he Supreme
Court. A test case was ar
ranged by number of parties raising
fund sufficient to cary the law to the
higher court. P. ]. Mcmahon was ar
rested for killing quail and was fined
SIS by Justice Stone. The case was
then taken to the Supreme Court. The
law is upheld in all but one particular,
that of the fine in case of conviction
going in share to the informer This
point is declared unconstitutional, but
does not interfere with the rest of the
Act The entire opinion will be found

Supreme Court Decision.

Supreme Court Decision.
THE STATE OF NEVADA.
No. 1912.
Elk PARTE MCMAHON.
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF
HABEAS CORPUS.
F. H. Norcross, For Petitioner.
William WOODBURY., Attorney General,
E. E. Roberts District Attorney, for
the State.
BY THE COURT.
The petitioner was convicted in the
Justices Court OF Ormsby county, Ne
vada, of violating Section 5 of the Act
protecting wild game, (Stats. 1901,
page 12D and sentenced to pay fine
of $4,000, and in default to be confined
in the county Jail at the rate of one
day for each two dollars thereof
until paid. By the sentence one
half of the fine was ordered
paid to one Robinson, the informer
The petitioner brings habeas corpus
for his discharge from the custody of
the sheriff of Ormsby county He
contends that the Act under which he
was convicted is unconstitutional, and
points out many provisions which he
claims cOntravene our constitution.
Many of the points made against the
law are not involved in the case, and it
is only necessary to consider the OF
lection to Section Io, under which au-
thority is given for the judgment di-
recting that one-half of the fine be paid
the informer, and therefore directly III
volving the validity of the Judgment
under which he is held.
Our constitution provides, among
other matters (Section 3, Article KID,
that "All fines collected under the penal
laws OF the State and all proceeds
derived from any or all OF said sources
shall be and the same are hereby sci
EMMY pledged for educational pur-
poses and shall not be transferred to
any other fund for other uses ~
The language used is plain, clear ard
unambiguous, and does not require
construction, and it seems to us that
said Section 10 OF the Act, supra, clear
provision.
The case decided by the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin Estate v. Delano.
50 Wis. 800 cited in support OF the con-
stitutionality of this section of our
statute, was based upon constitr
tional provision very different from
ours. and is therefore easily distin-
guished
While it is true the language Of the
constitution OF Virginia is similar
to the language used in our constitu
ton we cannot adopt the construction
placed by the Supreme Court Of that
State in the case of the Express Com
pany V. Walker, o. Va So So to do
warranted and unwise and might justi-
fy legislation which would impair our
school fund
1t also appears that much that was
said by the court in the Virginia case
was not necessary to a decision of the
question involved, and is therefore
mere dicta.
1t appearing, therefore, that the sec
ton authorizing the Judgment given
in this particular case is unconstitution-
al, the judgment is therefore void, and
an order viii be made discharging the
petitioner from custody.

that California divorces are absolute

within year after legal separation
therefore that Nevada marriages are

WORK OF RELIEF

which the st. Louis Transit Comnanv
has shown in offering to carry without
charge the poor children and parents of
the tenements to the parks for recreation
during these hot days.

summer resorts. They are rightfully
called the breathing spots of the city. A
visit to any of the crowded districts
would speedily convince the most skepti.
cal that effort to alleviate well-niph in.
tolerable conditions imposed by narrow
alleys, high walls and hot pavements Is
a work Of mercy.
Physicians will cooperate with the
transit Company, as interviews in The
Republic prove. As class who do much
charitable work, the doctors may be
counted on to furnish the required Ger.
tificates showing the need Of the chill
dren. In demanding the certificates. the
company has only protected itself from
an indiscriminate abuse of the privileges

UP TO THE PEOPLE.

There is occasion for rejoicing over
the passage Of the Charter amendments
by the House Of Delegates Congratula-
lions are due the members Of that body
for the unanimous vote given to the
measure. Even the delay of weeks may
be forgiven, in view of the hearty sup
port Of the bill when it was finally
placed on passage.
1t is probable that the Council and
House will agree on minor points in the
bill. Amendments made in the measure
passed by the Council are not so i'm
portant that the two bodies can afford to
protract the consideration of the bill.
So it may be assumed that the people
will pass on the proposed Charter
amendments October %, being the fourth
Tuesday in the month. There has been
no opposition to them In either branch
of the Municipal Assembly. The condi-
ton OF public works should make the
votes Of st. Louis Just as unanimous at
the fall election. Selfish considerations
alone will permit any voter to oppose the
amendments. Their passage is necessary
for the New st. Louis.

ILLIN0IS'S PLIGHT

While Governor Yates's proposed "or-

pose of fighting the observation-disclosures
machine IN Illinois would probably
amount to Yates machine If it took
any material form whatever the con-
ception of such project proves To what
''h extent Il national administration has
cared to Interfere in State politics.
paWes, as senatorial candidate is
ilfst ana foremost the creation of Presi-
eeiit Mckinley. While serving as Uni
ted States Comptroller under Mr.. Nc
hin'eys administration he was invari-
ably called upon to do the administra-
iioh work III Illinois. He has been serv-
iceable i'll shaping Illinois politics TO
suit the President. When the time came

Ice all the influence and patronage of the
MCKINNEY administration were enlisted
la his behalf in his campaign for the
Senate. Not until il was seen that this
administration influence was reasonably
certain 10 bring about his success did
Dawes resign as Comptroller.
Ii Is natural that the Governor of Illi-
hols and other eminent Republicans
should resent this administration inter
NEEDING in State politics. American
commonwealth have always been quick.
ana win good reason to resent such in
reference An administration in WASH
lhSton with control of the political af-
LARS OF the various States of the Union
Is dangerous to a degree II constitutes
a most notable and menacing feature of
mat strong centralized government on
the Hamiltonian basis for which Mr.
Mckinney and his followers are so siren
uousiy striving. The Mckinley admins
Iration Will be strong indeed if Mr.. Nc
hlnieE can in time dictate to the States
the men whom they shall send to the
senate and National House of Repre-
sentatives. Such condition would he

1t remains to be seen how the neon,e
OF Illinois will solve the problem now
confronting them. At present they are
uis.ihctiy under the domination of the
national machine ut Washington. II Is
situation repugnant to American
thousht and perilous to American instj-
tutions. Governor Yates should be en-
coufaged in his fight against an inter-
NEEDING President. A Yates machine
IN Illinois would be Infinitely preferable

CONFESSION OF SIN

President Mckinley will to-day issue
ms proclamation. declaring the eStab-
llshment of free trade between Porto
Rico and the rest of the United States,
and that proclamation will he one of the
most remarkable utterances in American
history
III Will be remarkable because ii should
never have become necessary for the
PRESIDENT TO proclaim. with "benevo-
rent assimilation flourish of trumpets,
ms gift To the Porto Ricans of some
thinS which was their inalienable right
Under the American Constitution. 1t was
as unfair for this helpless and trustfui
niue people To be taxed 10 per cent on
their trade with the rest of the Union as
1t would be to make the State OF New
lork pay Is per cent on its trade with
the other States.
III was unfair. because when we landed
an army of invasion on Porto Rican
soil. the first promise we made to the
Porto Ricans was that they should en-
Joy all the rights and privileges of other
American citizens if they consented
peaceably to annexation. They did so
consent, and the first thing we did was
to fasten this tariff tax of 10 per cent
upon them in violation of the Constitu-
tion. 1T was shameful and dangerous
thing to do; shameful because we broke
our solemn promise IN doing it, and dan
gerous because 1t was violation of the
Constitution, which is an act that should
not be permitted to any President or to
any political party in control of the Gov
eminent.
There is no partisan prejudice or mere
desire for partisan advantage in calling
attention to these truths. The late Ben
Jamin Harrison, former President of the
United States and leader of the Repub-
lican party, preferred against the Nc
kinley administration charge of viola
ton of the Constitution in this matter
of imposing tariff tax on the Porto
Ricans He characterized this tax as
constituting "a wide departure from
right principles" His view of the matter
was shared by other eminent Republic
ans. 1t was only the Mckinley imperial
lists who insisted upon treating Porto
Rico as subject colony not entitled TO
the protection Of the Constitution. Presi-
dent McKinley's proclamation to-day
will not be an act of generosity to-
wards the Porto Ricans.
1t will be confession Of his and his
party's sin against the Constitution Of
the United States.
