COLLINS ASKS
FOR A WRIT
Judge de Haven Orders That
Sheriff I. f. O'Neil Show
Cause for Holding Lawyer
STATE RIGHT ATTACKED
Petitioner Contends That
Second Indictment Is a
Violation of EXtradition

George D. Collins went into the United
States District Court yesterday morning
and filed a petition for writ of habeas
corpus. Judge de Haven made an order
citing Sheriff Thomas F. .O'Neil to appear
in court at 10 o'clock Saturday morning
to show cause why the writ should not
issue.
Collins petition recites that on July 13,
1895, while he was residing in Victoria,
B. c., the Grand Jury of the city and
county of San Francisco presented an in
dictment charging him with having COM
mitted PERJURY on June so, 1905. in the
Superior Court by falsely swearing that
he cid not on May Is, 1889, or at any other
time, marry Charlotte Eugene Newman
and that he and she were never at any
time husband and wife.
He AYERS that he was extradited from
British Columbia to San Francisco for
trial upon that indictment alone, but that
while in custody of the United States un-
der extradition the Grand Jury, on De-
cember 29. in violation of the treaty and
of section 5275, Revised Statutes of the
United States, presented another indict-
ment charging him with perjury. which
perjury If committed at all, must have
been committed prior to his extradition,
and that upon said indictment he was
taken foreibly out of the custody of the
Federal authorities and placed in custody
of the State authorities.
The petitioner contends that the State
is absolutely without a vestige of author
ity in matters of international extradiion,
all power over the subject being vested
by the constitution in the United States,
and that that power is necessarily ex-
elusive. 1t is further contended that in
international affairs and in the matter of
extradition from a foreign nation the sew
eral States of the United States are en-
tirely and absolutely unknown, and the
fact that the State court is permitted TO
try and to dispose of the case does not
operate to transfer the Federal custody of
the accused to the State.

SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE TO MEET
VIII Convene in Los Angeles
to Consider the States
School Laws.

At the last session of the Legislature so
many important measures relating to the
school system of the State were present.
ed that by the very reason of their i'm
portance and far-reaching effects, it was
impossible during the limited session to
give serious consideration TO more than a
few of them Many were left for the next
Legislature to act upon, and that intelli-
gent and conscientious consideration
might be had the Assembly appointed a
special committee 10 sit during the interim
between sessions for the purpose of study
ing in detail all of the proposed reforms
and to institute, if deemed necessary, a
thorough revision of the school law.
The committee is composed of Assem-
blymen James Slaven of San Juan, chair
man; j. H. Creighton of Redding, Z. X.
Strowbridge of Haywards. n. w Thomp-
son of Alhambra and E. F. Treadwell of
San Francisco. H. A. Mason of San Fran
cisco is secretary of the committee and
headquarters have been established at
room 544 PARROT building.
The first public meeting Of the commit
tee will be at the office of the County Su-
perintendent of Schools, Los Angeles, on
April 7, and 10. and all persons interested
in the subject matter before the commit
tee will be given a hearing. Preparatory
to the meeting of the committee a large
number of letters have been sent to prom
inent educators inviting suggestions as to
needed changes in the school laws and as
to the matters which the committee might
find profitable to investigate.
A flood of suggestions has reached the
secretary many of which when taken up
for discussion are sure to awaken wide
interest The suggestions cover wide
range of subjects and relate to the fur
nishing of textbooks, the tenure and sala-
ries of teachers, the inspection of schools,
courses of study, the Introduction of man.
ual training and elements of agriculture
the recognition of kindergartens, school
libraries, compulsory education, the child
labor law and many other subjects of
minor Importance.
The coming session of the committee
will be attended by representatives of the
Governors office and of the Superintend-
ent Of Public Instruction, Stanford Uni
versity and the University of California,

Gators from the southern part of the

How many people could answer the
question, Where was the first public
school located?" The honor, for such
1t is, belongs to the early pioneers Of
Dorchester, Mass, who, on May 20,
1859, authorized the construction of a
schoolhouse which was to be free to
the general public. In this day and
age, when a school is talked of there
arises to the minds eye a magnificent
structure of brick and stone, three or
four stories high.
Imagine, If you can, the youth OF
the present times going to school in
one little room, the walls of which
were constructed of boards roughly
hewn from the tree. Such, however,
was the first free public school in
America, If not in the world, and for
over seventy-fve years this little
building did good service in the cause
of education.
Although called free, it is fact not
generally known that no one was al
lowed to attend who did not possess
an elementary knowledge of the three
RS. Thus came into existence the
private schools of which Samuel Man
del was the master from 1897 to 1925,
where scholars who were desirous of
entering the public school could gain
the necessary rudiments. This private
school was originally located on what
is now known as Hendry street, but
was afterward removed to Bowdoin

MUCH TOO PRECIOUS TO LOSE.
The Bartender's Mistake Corrected by
the Rolickinu Youth.

The rollicking youth came into the
uptown cafe little wobbly and leery,
but with something of look of tri-
umph, withal. The well-meaning bar
tender regarded him critically a mo-
ment, and then, in tone of conf
dence, said to him:
Say, | can mix you up something
that will knock that jag of yours dead
in less than ten minutes" and he be-
gan mixing.
''Wazzat?" said the wobbly youth,
bracing himself and closing one eye
to get a better focus on the barten-
der. Miss up sussin' t knocks zis

Divulginq a Secret.

Joseph r. Grismer, playwright
was of group who discussed recent
financial manifestations the other day.
One man expressed the opinion that
the most significant incident of 1905
was Russell Sage's getting out Of a
sick bed to go down to Wall street to
lend money when the rate on call
loans went soaring to 80.
"The old mans doing It," said Girls
mer, "went far to bear out a story Of
him l had heard years before. He was
seen by a clerk in Wall street to stoop
to the pavement, pick up a pin and
carefully stow it in his lapel.
"'Say, Uncle Russ called the clerk,
when does man get enough money,
anyway?
"'When he gets 500 more was
Sage's reply, as he ambled on to the
apple stand where he daily took his
luncheon"

Unconscious Admission.

Several years ago a senator from
central Ohio who was planning to take
his wife to Washington with him was
a little uncertain as to her general in
telligence about her own home, so be-
fore the journey he said to her, my
dear, when any one asks you where
you are from you must say, I am from
the interior of Ohio"
Shortly after they were settled in
the great capital they attended one of
the social functions with which the

in conversation prominent statesman
standing near Mrs. H. said, Madame,

are from?"

New York's "Fighting Parson."

DR.. William S. Rainsford, who on
account of continued i'll health has re-
signed as rector of st. Georges par
ish, New York city, earned his title of
"the fighting parson" Immediately
after taking charge of that pastorate.
He opened mission in saloon over
on the east side and was conducting
a meeting when an intoxicated man
began to raise a disturbance. DR..
Rainsford ordered him to leave,
whereupon the fellow swore violently.
The preacher walked over and after
some vain parley with the burly dis
turber suddenly knocked the fellow
down. The man scrambled to his
feet and hurried out. Later he was
one of DR.. Rainsford's most ardent ad-
mirers.

the school he attended as boy.
After outliving its usefulness as
school the building was sold and re-
moved by it's purchaser to the corner
of Pleasant and Commercial (now
known as Hancock) streets. Very few
know that John Hancock once had his
summer residence on Commercial
street and that after the war Of the
revolution the citizens in a burst OF
patriotism decided to honor the sign

and so changed 1t to Hancock street.
