Various housewives living on the 500
block of Waller street, between Steiner
and Pierce, declared that Special Po-
liceman George Delmar was unneces-
sarily vigilant when he detected John
j. Rogers and Cassius NJ. Parker in the
act of soliciting aims and that he was
unduly severe when he arrested them
for 1t. In their heart goodness the
matrons believed that the evidence of
physical disability displayed by Mr..
Rogers. to say nothing of the piteous
tale that accompanied the ex-
position. entitled his mendicancy
to exemption from interference.
And as for Mr.. Parker. the ex-
cellent ladies said, it was simply in

Boston week ago and while engaged
in a pedestrian tour of urban inspec-

Dear me-" he exclaimed when Pa
trolman Nolan promptly collared him,
is it possible that splitting upon the
footways is prohibited by law so far
west as this ?'' When this remark
was quoted to Judge Mogan he asked
Mr.. Wolfe if splitting in public places
is tabooed in Boston.
Most certainly it is,'' was the re-
ply.

My dear sir" replied Mr.. Wolfe,
San Francisco is long way from
Boston,"
THAT is so,'' acquiesced the
court. From the hub of culture you
have transferred yourself to the tire,
but pray remember you are still on
the wheel. In these days of rapid
transit it is not such far cry from
Massachusetts to California as it was

now at freedom to go forth and find

David Bispham will give the last
concert of his series in the Alhambra
this afternoon. 1t is the first Bispham
matinee as we'll, and should attract a
big audience. The dimensions of
Lyric Hall were found to be altogether
too limited to accommodate the num-
ber of people who wanted to hear the
great barytone. The impression left
by Bispham's singing of the Tuesday
and Thursday concerts was splendid
tribute to his great ability. His voice
never sounded better in grand opera

opera company brought to San Fran

DEMOCRATS ARE GUESSING.
SHOULD CONSIDER TICKETS.

1t is further suggested that a muni-
cipal league or non-partisan council
should consider all the regular party
nominations and give Endorsement to
nominees whose election would guar
antee honest and capable administra-
ton OF their respective offices. 1t is
claimed that knowledge of such con-
templated Endorsement would impcl
both Republican and Democratic nom
mating bodies to select candidates of
exceptional ability and fitness.
The general trend of comment in all
political camps is TO the effect that the
people of San Francisco are resolved
on better local government. It is the
live question. The race question in the
South, the atrocities in Bulgaria and
the peril of Japanese invasion may en-
gage the attention of profound spe-
cialists, but the vital popular issue in
San Francisco relates to the condition
of the streets and the management of
the various departments of the NUM-
cipal government. Citizens, irrespective
of party affiliation, hold that the time
has arrived for the abolition of graft
and the expulsion of grafters

hold on until some one makes a discov- cry so that they can sell to an advantage.
 Whether the present case is one in which the defendants are jumpers, or were acting within their rights, remains yet to be determined by the evidence, but should the latter prove true it will serve as a test case.
 The evidence was submitted today and Judge Wickersham took the case under advisement in order to give a written decision.
 Indeed. from the foregoing it is evident that this case is one of ex- traordinary interest. If it is held that actual discovery is necessary in order for locators to hold claims, what assurance will a poor pros- pector have that his work will not be rendered frui,less by some one with means to make a more rapid exploration of the ground he is testing? If the contrary, what pre- lection will be afforded the pros- pector against holders of great bodies of ground who do only a nominal amount of useless work each yeare The questions are live ones, and the judges decision will be awaited with interest.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE ,, 1905.
AN IMPORTANT MINING
 CASE.

The following from the Fair. banks News of May 26 relates to a case involving some points of law of great importance to this district and to Alaska at large:
 case is now on trial before Judge Wickersham which is attracting the at tention of mining men ard which may serve as a test case of whether locators must make a discovery in order to hold their claims.
 The suit is that of William Redden, Thomas w. Dempsey, S. D. McIlroy and Frank Berry vs. Judge N. V. Harlan. F. M Brown, E. Suter, P. G. Charles, Frank Kinghorp, Darneil & McNeer and Theo Kitteson. In the complaint filed the plaintiffs allege that Dempsey had located No. g on Cripple creek June re, 1904, and that No. s was located by Redden the same date. and that the two formed a partnership with Berry and McIlroy- They further state that they began to prospect and mine the claim. but that defendants trespassed. despite being warned of the premises. They prayed for an injunction. which was granted them, and the defendants were ordered by the court to appear Saturday and show cause why the injunction should not b. made permanent.
 The defense of the defendants is that no discovery had been made by the others within the limitation by law in which discovery must be made to make a claim valid. and that they put boiler on the ground and began to sink for a discovery.
 if the cour, hnds that the time iimi,a- ton had expired. the question arises of whether original locstors can hold min ersi land indefinitely. What constitutes discovery Is also a fine point to be de- eisled. Some assert that whenever gravel ts found carrying eolors a discovery has bee. made. while others believe that the actual presence of gold is necessary.
