OF HIS MOTHER
DIR. Rutherford B. Irones of
San Francisco Weds and
May Lose an Inheritance
Special Dispatch to The Call.


Los ANGELES. Jan. 12-After a
vain attempt to-day to prevent her son,
DR.. Rutherford B. Irones, from marry
ing Mrs. Georgia e. Dow of San Diego,
Mrs. Carrie Irones. wealthy woman
Of San Francisco. declared that she had
disinherited the young physician. DR..
Irones says his mother is owner OF the
Hotel Kenmore, on Geary street, and
other San Francisco property valued at
about s500,O00. He says he does not
think she will carry out her threat to
prevent him from receiving the estate
at her death.
Ten minutes after young Irones and
Mrs. Dow had been married by Justice
Young in the Courthouse Mrs. Irones
appeared and demanded to know why.a
license had been issued to her son. The
license clerk responded that young
Irones had given his age as 27 and that
of Mrs. Dow as 25 Mrs. Dow, who was
divorced seven years ago and who
thereupon resumed her maiden name,
is the daughter of a San Diego man
who went to the Klondike number of
years ago in the interest of syndicate
and is said to have cleaned up half a
million in the gold fields.
DR.. Irones and his mother came to
Los Angeles some weeks ago on a trip
around the world. He had met Mrs,
Dow previously in San Francisco and
she came here with her mother from
San Diego to wed him unknown to Mrs
Irones. DIR. Irones claims to have been
ship surgeon on the Coptic for the Oc-
cident and Oriental Steamship Com
pany, and to have acted in confiden-
tial capacity for the Chinese Govern
ment in connection with immigration
matters.

Russian Government Seems

to Policy That Precludes

RULER VACILIATES

Refusing to Accept the
Resignation of Mirsky

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 12.-The
make the irrevocable decision that pres
tige abroad and the situation at home
necessitate the continuance Of the war
till peace with dignity is possible. Be
yond this point, however, no confirma-
tion exists, especially regarding the i'm
mediate development of the internal
situation.
Emperor Nicholas is still apparently
vaciliating as to whether he shall
allow Witte full sway in the meantime
declining to permit Prince Syiatopolk-
Mirsky to retire. The latter persists
in the view that the confidence of the
people In the manner in which the re-
form manifesto is to be worked out is
vital and that this is impossible if the
work is to be left completely in the
hands Of the bureaucrats. Direct con-
sultation with representatives Of the
classes interested he considers essen
. tial.
| It has now been definitely established
that the third section of the manifesto
as 1t was originally drafted by Minister
Sviatopolk- Mirsky provided for repre-
sentation Of the Zemstvos in the Coun-
ell of the Empire, and that it was
stricken out against his earnest protest.
| Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky's retire
ment from the Ministry of the Interior
continues to be considered as only a
matter Of short time, although there
| is seeming evidence that the Emperor
hopes by temporizing to avoid the
necessity of concentrating the reins Of
| power in the hands Of Witte. Should
real storm break, however, no one
doubts that Witte is the one strong
man in sight who can be called to the
bridge.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

Editor Lafontisee Of the Live Oak
Daily Democrat makes an exhaustive
review of Governor Broward's defense
Of the State hardening board, as It
appeared in the first issue Of Claude
L'Engle's Sun. in which, among other
interesting things, he uses the following
clear-cut language:
In referring 20 the pardon Of man
sentenced TO the penitentiary for life,
the Governor proceeds to show that the
courts were in error in convictin2 the
prisoner. This is in fact the burCen of
his defense throughout, and shows on
the part Of the Governor Of the State
disposition to place but little confidence
in the courts of the State. This is
most unfortunate condition TO exist in
any State, and especially 80 when 1T Is
given weight by a declaration on the
part of the highest authority in the
State. In the case referred TO, the de-
Tense went the limit of the courts, car
rying the case TO the Supreme Court
after a trial which lasted for several
days. During that trial the defendant
was represented by able counsel and
given every opportunity TO establish
his innocence or his claim TO sanity.
But he was found guilty by jury of
twelve men, in a county where he had
resided for some time. That verdict
was upheld by the Supreme Court. And
now comes the Governor Of the State
and says that the courts were in error
and that justice was not done. This is
the feature Of the Governors exhaust
i've statement to which The Democrat
takes exception. While the Governor
has not said 80 in as many words, his
defense Is based on that plea as will be
seen by study of his article. When
the people of State learn 10 distrust
the courts they lose confidence in the
most important branch of government.
The courts are the most sacred Of our
institutions, and should be upheld. At
least the Governor of the State ought
not TO show distrust in them.
II the pardoning board is to act on the
basis laid down by the Governor, we
had better do away with the courts and
arrange matters so that the pardoning
board can try criminals The Governor
would not have been forced to go much
further in his defense 70 have made this
suggestion.

BLIND TIGER LORE.

The Monticello News breaks forth
into indignant protest at the open viO-
lation of the local option laws, as fol-
lows:
Liquor was sold here during court
week without s.in.. The grand jury
sat in solemn d2li Grafton, the officers
scurried to ana frt with various hand
cutfed offenders ag, list other statutes,
but no person WIS i.dicted or tried for
selling booze.
This is not the courts fault.
1t is the peoples .allt.
Under license o. two saloon men
kept Jefferson county pretty dry, except
under their own signs. They nabbed
"buck" purveyors on the Georgia line,
and corn-meal-mash moonshiners in the
fatwoods. The officers secured evil
dence then, and got convictions too.
Now, there is within easy reach Of
every village some distributing point
for blind tiger liquor.
What a difference is there! No one
dared sell liquor in competition with
the licensed saloon men. Now no one
dares move against the hundred yio-
lators of the liquor law If two licensed
saloon keepers could keep the rest of
the county dry, it does seem that the
officers of the law could do as well.
And they could if they had some help
and cooperation.
Possibly similar causes prevent the
punishment of violators of the law in
Leon county. How is it?
