FAR REACHING DECISION.

The United States supreme court
has rendered a recent decision which
is far reaching in its effects and is of
momentous concern TO the southern
states, and in some Of the states of the
south is causing panic Of apprehenz
sion. -.
The decision vas rendered in an
action brought by the states of South
Dakota against the state of North Car
olina The reconstruction legislature
of North Carolina issued $3.50 00o
worth Of bonds secured by the stock
ef the Western North Carolina rail
roal and then defaultcd payment of
interest and principal. The holders
of the bonds sought to sue fer their
value and We're confronted With a de
cision Of the Supreme court that an in
diyidual could not bring suit against a
state. They thereupon presented SO,
600 worth of the bonds 10 the state or
South Dakota. and that commonwealth
brought suit in the supreme court
against North Carolina for their face
value and accrued interest "a

BLOW TO CORMAN

The election Of lsador Rayner "a
United States senator from Maryland
was crushing bioW#to the as spifations
of Senator German. German was for
anybody to beat Rayner. although nom
inally he supported Colonel Carter Of
Baltimore.
Germans record in this campaign.
according to the accounts of Maryland
Democrats, is not nice one to con
template. He is openly accused of
having played fast and loose with eX
Governor Smith and with failure to de-
liver to Colonel Carter. whose cause
he espOused, more than IS per cent Of
the votes Carter expected. One thing
is clear and that is that German has
lost friends on every side. Indeed, his
losses are admitted to be so severe
as to render it prCblematical if he can
carry the state in behalf of his own
candidacy for president.

BRENN AN WANTS
NO COMPROMISE
Held for Felony Embezzle-
ment and Released on a
Writ of Habeas Corpus
WRONG CHARGE is MADE
Warrant for Grand Lar
ceny Issued and Request
Made for It's Withdrawal

After an argument lasting several
days on the application for writ of
habeas corpus for the release of DR..
Thomas F. Brennan, held to answer on
a charge of felony embezzlement,
Judge Gesford of Napa, sitting in de-
partment II of the Superior Court,
granted the writ yesterday and dis
charged the prisoner. He did so on
the ground that the charge should have
been grand larceny. The complaint
was drawn UP by Attorney M. c. Has
sett. special prosecutor, and at the pre-
liminary examination Police Judge
Fritz expressed the opinion that the
charge should have been grand lar
ceny, but Hassett was of a different
opinion.
DR.. Brennan was accused of en-
bezzling over s39, 900 in coin and several
articles, the property Of Rev. Father
Patrick J. Grey. former rector Of St.
Patrick's Church. DR.. Brennan claim
ed that the property had been given
to him by Father Grey in view of the
fact that DR.. Brennan was to attend
Father Grey professionally for the bal
ance of his life.
A warrant was at once obtained from
Judge Fritz for DR.. Brennan's arrest
on the charge of grand larceny. A few
hours later Attorney Hassett called on
Judge Fritz and asked him to- instruct
Policeman Conlon, who had the war
rant, not to serve it. The Judge asked
the reason and Hassett replied that
there was a proposition from the other
side.
You don't mean to say" queried the
Judge, that you intend to compound
felony?"
Hassett disclaimed any such inten-
ton and the interview closed by the
Judge refusing to interfere in the mat
ter.
Later Attorney Cannon, who repre-
sents DR. Brennan, called at the Hall
of Justice with bonds for Brennan's s
release. He was followed by Bren-
nan, who was booked at the City
Prison and Immediately discharged on
an order signed by Judge Fritz, who
had accepted the bonds.
Cannon denied emphatically that any
attempt at compromise had come from
him or his client and said that they
were prepared to fight the case to a
finish. He supposed that Hassett,
after reflection, had concluded it was
inadvisable TO proceed with the case.

ARRESTED ON FELONY AND
MISDEMEANOR CHARGES
Joseph Gagan Is Accused of Burglary
and Turning I'm False
Alarm of Fire.

Joseph Gagan, who is not unknown
to the police, got himself into serious
trouble yesterday morning. Charges
of burglary and turning in a false
alarm of fire were booked against him
at the City Prison.
Shortly before o'clock Gagan- en-
tered the room of Pauline Pepin in
Bacon place and was leaving with a
bundle under his arm when he was
seen by some of the other women, who
raised an alarm. Gagan fed and dur
ing his fight dropped the bundle in
front of the California Hotel. 1t con-
tanned several silk wrappers belong
ing to the Pepin woman.
Policeman Grunwald was notified
and while he was searching for Gagan
an alarm of fire was turned in from
box 40, Stockton and Sutter streets
Grunwald hurried to that corner and
found Gagan, who had turned in the
alarm, in charge of w. Hartnup, a pri-
vate citizen. 'Gagan was taken to the
City Prison and was later identified
by the Pepin woman as the man who
entered her room.
About year ago Gagan was shot
five times by Mrs. Eta Fitzgibbon in
her rooms at / Fifth street. She
claimed he had attempted to strangle
her, but she was convicted of assault
to murder and is now serving q term
in San Quentin. Prior to that time

PEDDLERS' CASE ARGUED
IN JUDGE HUNTS COURT
Case Against Park Commissioners
and the Chief of Police Is
Under AdViSement

Superior Judge Hunt yesterday heard
arguments and took under submission
the case of William Kamelakis against
the Park Commissioners and the Chief
of Police. The plaintiff is a peddler
and in his suit represents other ped
dlers who seek. to annul the order of
the Park Commissioners excluding
them from plying theiR business on
the ocean beach, particularly near the
Cliff House. The peddlers contend
that they solicit trade between high
and low tide and that their ground is
not within the jurisdiction of the Park
Commission. The commission argues
that the map filed in 1860 shows that
the highway extends to the lap of the
water, otherwise, westward from a
given point, to the Pacific Ocean. The
chart of the city of San Francisco rec
ognizes the highway to the lap of the
waters.
The argument for the peddlers was
made by Curtis Hillyer. Ex-Judge
Murphy appeared for the Commission
ers and Luther Elkins for the city.

Yesterday. At that time he was on
the water front, going in the direc-
ton of the dock where the Sacrament

it was learned that he had issued a.
number of fictitious checks and col
lected the money upon them.

Three Misguided Youths Held
for Crimes Against
Uncle Sam.

Howard F. Antrim. a youth who
formerly sold cigars in San Francisco,
has been held to answer before the
Federal Grand Jury at indianapolis,
Ind, for sending an obscene letter
through the mails. Antrim's uncle,
Henry Fisher, is paymaster for the
Schutt Improvement Company at
Kennedy, Ind, where Antrim was en-
ployed.
Antrim is little more than lad and
until last February kept a small cigar
stand on Mason street, near Ellis, in
this city. He started for the East with
William White and Edward Schwartz,
a few months ago to take in the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis. White and
Schwartz were arrested on June 4 in
Cincinnati by Secret Service Agent
Bolan for attempting to pass one dol
lar silver certificates that had been
raised by means of pastors to the de-
nomination Of $40.
None of these young men is more
than 20 years of age. They belong to
respectable families, but fell into bad
company. White and Schwartz for a
time had a handbook on the races and
look DelS from squirting "OIneH. w men
they got a good sum of money to-
gether they WEIGHED" on their bets
and left for the East with Antrim.
When they were arrested letter from
Antrim was found in their possession
and this is the basis of the charge
against him.
Antrim has been in trouble before
for stealing books from the Polytech-
mic School in this city and selling
them to secondhand dealers.

SAYS KENNEDY
HAS CONFESSED
Assistant to the District
Attorney Solves Mystery
About the New Evidence
DEFENDANT Is AMUSED
Supreme Court Decides Not
to Give Judgment Until
Point of Law Is Settled

William Kennedy, the negro who is
accused Of completely in the murder
of Policeman Robinson. appeared be-
fore the Supreme Court yesterday on
writ of habeas corpus. Justice Nc
Farland stated that the only question
to be determined was whether the
court could review an indictment by
the Grand Jury. The contesting at
torneys were granted five days in
which to file briefs on this point A
decision may be expected within a
week or two. Meanwhile Kennedy
must remain in Jail.
The court was unanimous in an un-
official opinion that no indictment
should have been returned in the de-
fendants case, but the Justices were
in some doubt as to whether they had
the legal right to examine the evil
dence submitted to the Grand Jury.
Attorneys Newburgh and Schooler
appeared for the prisoner and told
hold their client had been nine times
released and Immediately rearrested.
Attorneys Harris and Weller from the
District Attorneys office set forth their
reasons for attempting to hold the de-
fendant.
The Supreme Court has held in an
opinion rendered several weeks ago
that the evidence connecting Kennedy
WITH the murder of the policeman was
insufficient. The Grand jury mean
while has returned another indictment
on the evidence that the Supreme
Court rejected. If the court decides
that it can consider officially the evil
dence on which the last indictment
was returned Kennedy will go free.
If not he can be rearrested after be-
ing released on writs of habeas corpus
until he shall have been tried by jury.
The District Attorneys office has an
nounced several times that new evil
dence against the defendant had been
discovered, but the officials have been
very secretive about it. The Justices
insisted yesterday on knowing what
the new evidence was and Harris re-
luctantly stated that the defendant had
made confession to some one who
was now absent from the State. Ken
nedy smiled broadly and one of his
attorneys inquired if it was Cooper,
the man TO whom Soeder was alleged
to have made confession.
The court declared that if Hender-
sons testimony should be corroborated
the evidence against Kennedy would.
still be insufficient. The defendant
feels confident that he will be released
and seems to be in the best of spirits.
