JUDGE ESTABLISHES
A LAW PRECEDENT
HOLDS EXAMINATIONS DURING
HOLIDAYS ARE LEGAL
Many Cases VIII Be Taken Up With
out Delay, In View Of Decision.
Attorneys Prepare for
Busy Time

G. M. Lincoln, arrested November s
On a perjury charge and refused pre-
liminary examination in Justice e. e.
Selph's court on the ground that the day
was a legal holiday, was taken before
I tresiding Judge w. P. James yesterday
morning on writ of habeas corpus and
was released from custody. Lincoln's s
plea for liberty was based on the fact
that he had been denied q hearing. Dep
uty District Attorney Asa Keyes was
present with another complaint when
Lincoln was released and the man was
again placed in the sheriffs custody.
1.-The law provides that every man
charged with a crime shall be given q
speedy hearing and cannot be detained
in Jail without cause being shown" said
Judge James.
The preliminary examination on the new
complaint was set for Friday and will
be heard regardless of the legal holi-
days.
This ruling of the court sets a pre-
cedent and means that the legal holi-
days will no longer interfere with pre-
liminary examinations.
The district attorneys have hesitated
to hold preliminary examinations, fear
ing their acts would be declared not
binding, in violation of the law which
prohibits all judicial functions on holi-
suspended the law allows the exercise
of all the functions of a magistrate, and
Judge James holds that the holding of
a preliminary examination comes under
the head of the latter function.
In accordance with this ruling orders
were issued by District Attorney ]. d.
F'redericks yesterday afternoon to his
deputies that they might conduct pre-
liminary examinations in cases pending.
1t was generally understood among the
deputy district attorneys, however, that
they were holding such examinations at
the risk of having the decisions attacked
later on the ground that the proceedings
were illegal.
Following the new program the deputy
district attorneys began to get busy yes
terday afternoon preparatory to holding
several preliminary hearings. Major DON
nell has several cases pending in Long
Beach and he telephoned to that city
yesterday afternoon, saying he would be
ready this week to hold them.

That the dirigible war balloon has
about reached the limit of its develop
ment for the present at least, was the
opinion expressed by President viii
lam l.. Moore.
"Dirigible war balloons have been
developed to an inherent speed OF 2S
to 30 miles an hour" said he. "This
is not likely to be exceeded very soon,
for although the possible speed In
creases the size, the danger and diff
culties OF handling such frail struc.
tures increase also, It is probable that
the Zeppelin airship, 4l3 feet long and
3Sh feet In diameter, is on the border
of impracticability The present speed
may prove satisfactory on compara-
lively still days, but Il remains to be
ascertained by test to what height bal
looms will have to ascend to be rea-
sonably safe from gun fire and what
winds will thus be encountered"
Rear Admiral C. NJ Chester, United

"airship is to become the antidote for
