advisability of having our immigration officials
stationed at the various ports in China, where
they would be better able to certify to the
character of Chinese desiring to gain admis-
sion to this country and in this manner greatly

Foreman of Grand Jury Pays

Out of His Own Pocket

vices of Douglas Young
to Search City Records

Thomas p. Andrews zeal as foreman
of the Grand Jury cost him S14S 80 yes
terday. Deep down into his own
pocket he went and drew forth hard
won gold to make good the January
demand of Expert Douglas Young that
was held up by Auditor Baehr.
The total amount of the claim was
$25S SS. OF this the city and county
paid $110. The Auditor was firm in re-
fusing to allow more than S. a day for
the expert, although the Grand Jury
had employed Young at a daily stipend
of SIS. The warrant on the Treasurer
for the amount the statute deSiSnates
was accepted. The foreman, feeling
that an obligation rested upon him.
and having high regard for YounS's
services, paid the shortage on the bill.
Andrews may have more bills to pay
out of his own store, but he declares
he is perfectly willing to pay them that
the good work may go on. He is
fairly prosperous dealer in photo
graphic supplies and feels he can in
dulge the extravaganza of being
grand juror. He is enthusiastic in the
work and wants a good go at the Job,
he says, just TO see what he can do for
the public veal
A new deal has been made with Ex-
pert Young. He is to prosecute his in
vestigations at the City Hall with un-
abated vigor. but the Grand Jury has
agreed to pay him only SO day. With
his finger on the section in the code.
Baehr says he will allow half that
amount. or So per diem. Foreman An
drews promises to make up the
other $5.
1t is possible that other members of
the Grand Jury will come to the fore
mans aid in the drain on his private
funds. But, in any event, explains An
drews, he viii not allow the work of
the expert to be interrupted The out
lays are not of the character that he
can embrace In his secret personal
expense" bill to be paid out of the gem
eral fund on the order of the presiding

The Supreme Court will soon be

seven. This remarkable state of af-

The facts in the case were made

Campbell and the case was reset for

the argument be postponed IN view of
the fact that Campbell had requested

Chief Justice Beatty said he would

COOK UPHOLDS
AN ORDINANCE
Raid by Members of Grand
Jury and Deputy Sheriffs
Held to Have Been Legal
JUDGMENT is DIVIDED
Women Charged With Being
Inmates Are Remanded,
but Visitors Discharged

An exhaustive opinion was delivered
by Judge Cook yesterday on the appli-
cation for writs of habeas corpus for
the release of the seventy-nine women
arrested at $50 Jackson street and 1929
Dupont street at the time the raid was
made by deputy sheriffs and members
OF the Grand Jury. He holds, in effect,
that the ordinance under which the ar
rests were made is valid, but in regard
to those charged with being visitors to
house of ill-fame he decides that the
complaints were defective, inasmuch as
no public offense was charged.
1t was argued for the petitioners that
the ordinance conflicted with sections
3l5 and 647 of the Penal Code. which
provide for the punishment of resi-
dents in houses of ill-fame, ii being ar
gued that the words resident and in
mate were Synonymous. The Judge did
not agree with that contention, holding
that the words were not synonymous.
AS it was alleged in the complaints
that the acts done wer contrary to the
statutes of the State, the prisoners
charged with being inmates would be
remanded. Their bail. however, pend
ing trial was reduced to $50 bonds or $40
cash.
Regarding these charged with being
visitors. the Judge said it was an es-
sential element of the crime charged
that the defendant knew the charac-
ter Of the house and that she visited
the same for a purpose intended to be
made unlawful by the ordinance. IF
these are essential elements of the
crime" continued the Judge, "and must
be proved by the prosecution before a
conviction could be had-and unques-
tionably they are, else the ordinance is
void-it is equally essential that they
be alleged, and failure to allege them
renders the complaint fatally defective.
That the lack of any allegation in the
complaints against the petitioners as
TO knowledge and purpose of the visit
charged is fatally defective there can
be no question" The prisoners charged
with being visitors were therefore or
dered dismissed.
All the cases were continued till to-
morrow, so that those remanded and
those discharged could be sifted out

SUPREME COURT is CURIOUS.
Justices Inquire Closely About 1929
Dupont Street.

The Supreme Court yesterday heard
arguments in reference to the injunc-
ton issued by Judge Cook to restrain
the police from raiding 1929 Dupont
street. The Justices interrogated the
attorneys for the contestants as to the
real characer of the place and seemed
satisfied that the premises were used
for disreputable purposes. The old
question as to whether the police had
the right to hurt the business of the
alleged restaurant proved bothersome.

submitted.
Brief arguments were heard in an
other proceeding through which ex-
Police Commissioner Hutton hopes to
escape paying a 500 fine for raiding
1929 Dupont street in violation of an
injunction and this matter was also
submitted.
In the course of ex-Judge Louder
backs remarks in favor of the de-
posed officials conduct the court was
