When the police arrived at the corner
of First and Vignes streets yesterday in
answer to a hurry-up call they found a
half hundred persons furiously engaged
in fisticuffs, hair-pulling and a general
mix-up. 1t took the officers some time
to queI the disturbance and longer
time to find out just what the trouble
was and what started it.
AS result of their Investigations five
persons, Sam Wasserman, Joe Wasser-
man, Eda Wasserman, Nick Schwartz
and Mrs. Nick Schwartz were bundled off

the fray When the police arrived the
front yard of the Schwartz home was
filled with men, women and children, en-
gagged in a pitched battle.
At the station three of the prisoners
were bailed out. but the unfortunate
bride and groom still remain in the city

FORMER LEADING WOMAN
TO PLAY MESSENGER BOY
Miss Florence Barker Will Don
Trousers and viii Try to
Be Tough as They
Make 'Em

Florence Barker, who makes her re-
entry with the Ferris company next
week, declared that fate is unkind to
her. She has to start in, though engaged
as an ingenue, in a boys part-and
tough boy at that. There was hope, she
declares, when 1.-THE Sign of the Cross"
was underlined, for she was a simple
and girlish youth in that, but now that
the Wilson Barrett play has been de-
ferred for "Graustark, she must don
the habliments of messenger boy and
do the part as tradition requires
And, do you know said Miss Barker
yesterday, 81 am considerably disap-
pointed. I am certainly glad to be back
with Mr.. Ferris, and will be delighted
to greet my friends again Monday night,
but / did so hope that 1 could appear in
my proper garb. / want to be an in
genue, and all during the summer when
was playing leads L longed for the
more sympathetic roles of the ingenue
That was my line for Mr.. Ferris, and in
some later plays I will have those roles.
But in The Sign of the Cross 1 was
cast as Stephanus, which is a very at
tractive part, and l looked forward to 1t
with much pleasure. Then came the
change of bill and now l have to wear a
boys suit and be tough. Ugh!

ing in the picture, and L never yet saw
messenger boy who was ladylike and
dainty; if he was, the other kids soon
cured him. To get the proper atmo-
sphere I have been hanging about the
messenger offices in the city for several
days, and / think I can initiate almost
any one of the boys in town, if l must
have the proper swagger the slow.

hang a cigarette from the lower left

ment
"Of course, my friends won't know me,
for I shall be pretty well disguised, but
1 believe in playing part right If l play
it at all, and 1 think I will do this right;
watch me!'
Hiss Barker's re-entrance to the Ferris
forces is awaited with keen interest by
her host of friends, and it is certain that
the Grand's summer clientele will be
heavily represented at the Auditorium all
the coming week,

SAY NEW LAW IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
MATTER TO BE TESTED IN THE
COURTS
Attorneys Agree That Newly Enacted
Law Covering Matter Of Legal
Holidays Is Special
Legislation

If the present sentiment among judges
tinues the new legislation regarding legal
holidays will soon be reduced to tatters
and declared Illegal.
Action by the Sacramento Bar associa'
ton Wednesday, when they condemned
the new law as unconstitutional, as spe'
uial legislation, and as bearing most heav'
iiy on the classes least able to bear It
was the opening gun in the campaign tc
put an end to the declaration of special
brands of holidays to meet every con.
ceivable emergency that may arise in the
business world.
The determination of the bench and bar
to take action in the matter is dictated
mostly by the inconvenience suffered dur
ing the past few weeks owing to the
stopping of the wheels of Justice and the
accumulation of litigation.
According to recent legislation the gov
ernor may still declare regular legal hol-
idays on which the courts must be closed
or special legal holidays when they may
open for the transaction of specified
kinds of business.
Law Is Unconstitutional
Judges of the superior court, although
they do not wish to express an opinion on
question upon Wnlcn tney may nave u
pass, are understood to have agreed
among themselves that the new laws re-
lating to legal holidays and governing
the duties of the courts are unconstitu-
tional.
The prevailing opinion of local attor-
neys and judges seems to be that the
courts could have been opened during the
holidays with perfect legality, but because
of the financial conditions the judges
have not wanted to raise any dispute
ever the question and have let the matter
rest
The Sacramento lawyers who propose to
test the law and take it to the supreme
court hold that the special holidays bear
most heavily on certain classes and re-
l:eve others. A contract may not be en-
forced, but judgment for damages may
be COLLECTED. If contract becomes due
during the special holidays the money
due under it may not be paid. If man
sues another for damages, however, the
amount can be collected.
The constitution expressly prohibits the
passing of special legislation governing
hte procedure in courts OF justice, and
on this ground also the new law is con-
by attorneys and judges.

DoWIE's FUNERAL is QUIET
Body Arrayed in white Robe of
Apostle is Laid to
~ Rest.

CHICAGO, March lathe funeral Of
John Alexander Dowie was held in ZION
City today and was quiet and unostenta-
tious
A small portion OF the magnificent choir
that formerly oficiated att the tabernacle
sang hymns. The body was arrayed in
the wonderful white robe which deceased
had worn since he assumed the title of
.'frst apostle of the Christian Catholic
church"
Six weeks before he died, John Alexander
Dowie prepared his own funeral sermon.
II was decided not TO permit it to be read
at the funeral, however lest 1t should bring
greater dissension in Zion City. The re-
ligious settlement Is now torn asunder by
factions In an effort to bring the warning
interests together, Judge Barnes preached
simple sermon. in which he extoled the
good qualities Of the dead man.
The sermon prepared by Dowie was given
out for publication. This sermon makes It
plainly evident that Dowie did not forgive
his enemies before he died, as he lashes
those who ousted him from control as
dogs Of hell.
The sermon concludes as follows;

shall exterminate the vipers and the dogs
