GOV. FORTS STRATAGgM.
How lie Defeated the Opponents e' mis-
Plan for an Excise COmmissioR.

TRENTON, n. j., April 10. Gov. Fort -
credited with having played q clever trick
upon the political leaders Of both parties
who endeavored TO block the passage by
the Legislature of his resolution authoris-
ing the appointment Of a commission 70
investigate the entire excise question IN
New Jersey and TO report at the next session
The resolution passed the Senate out
is said not to have been brought up In the
House, Notwithstanding this fact the
Governor received a certified copy OF the
resolution from Secretary Tyler Of the
Senate stating that il had passed both
houses.
The brewery interests had watchers in
the House continuously during the closing
hours OF the session, and they declare that
the resolution. was not brought up before
that body. In this they are sustained by
Speaker Jeas and Clerk James Parker, who
assert that the resolution was not con-
sidered by the House TO their knowledge.
The Governor, however. maintains that
the record a. certified 10 him is sufficient
justification for his appointment of the
commission without regard to its actual
confederation by the House. In this view
he Is sustained by court decisions,
The Governor does not rely entirely
upon the resolution for the carrying out
OF his excise plans. He had Incorporated
in the supplement appropriation bill a
provision by which 10000 is given TO him
as an emergency fund from which he Is
empowered TO pay the expenses OF any
commissions created by concurrent reso-
luton Of the Legislature or OF any com
mission which he may appoint regardless
Of legislative action, This provision OF
the appropriation bill was not noticed by
the powerful interests which were oppoeing
the formation Of the excise commission.
but its passage leaves the Governor COM
Dlete master OF the situation.

alarmed over the outlook says a state

to-day.
They fear the anti-Bryan sentiment
will be represented by nearly or perhaps
half the delegates and they RDprehend In

strength to prevent MIR. Bryan's nomination

rules governing Democratic national con-

In accordance with a resolution adopted

ANNOTATOR'S NOTES
WILL BE DISCUSSED
SCHMITZ DECISION DEEMED
UNDULY CRITICISED
Bar Association VIII Consider Report
of the Judiciary Committee on
Structures Passed in Semi
Official Publication

The Los Angeles Bar association will
hold meeting in department six of the
superior court at $3.50 o'clock this MORN
ing, during which the criticisms con-
tanned in the annotated edition of the
criminal code, recently issued, will be
discussed. The meeting is special one
and was called to consider, among 9TH
err things, the report of the judiciary
committee which, it is said, recon-
mends a formal protest by the asso-
citation against the criticisms made by
the annotator, James M. Kerr, in the
semi-official publication. This commit
tee is made up of Attorneys Wheaton
A. Gray, II. w. OMelveny, George H.
Smith, James H. Shankland and H. T.
Lee.
The section of the criminal code to
be considered by the association in
connection with Editor Kerr's criti-
cisms is that dealing with the crime
of extortion, his remarks being occa-
stoned by the decision of the supreme
court in the case OF former Mayor
Schmitz of San Francisco, and, among
other references, is one to the effect
that the highest judicial tribunal in
the state was "cavilingly critical and
irritatingly, if not irrationally, techni-
CAL"
These remarks are considered by
llany lawyers as out of place In an
annexation of the code and are said
to have created some Indignation
among the supreme court judges.

WOMEN PARTICIPATE IN
MALE FIGHT OVER WAGES
Wild Warfare Follows EndeaVor to
Collect and Cane and Nails Are
Said to Have Figured
Sharply

With her face a mass of scratches
and a finger fractured in two places
and swathed in bandages, Mrs. c. E.
Norris, wife of a former patrolman,
appeared at the prosecuting attorney S
office yesterday afternoon and told As
sistant Prosecuting Attorney Ford her
side of the dispute that resulted in the
issuance of a complaint against B..
Broad and his wife, Laura Broad,
charging them with battery.
According to Mrs. Norris story to the
prosecutor her husband was employed
by Broad, who conducts bakery at 521
South Main street. AS the result of an
alteration between the two men Nor
ris was discharged. He demanded a
full weeks wages which Broad refused
to pay. They had dispute over the
matter and Norris went to a collecting
agency and placed the collection of his
wages in their hands. Finally 1t was
agreed that Norris should receive $3.50.
In company with his wife he visited
the store conducted by Broad and en-
deaVored to collect the money. Then
another dispute arose and Broad is said
to have struck Mrs. Norris with a cane.
Mrs. Broad, who appeared on the scene
at this time, waded into the fray and
is said to have adopted the guerrilla
tactics of a wildcat by trying to peel
all the skin from the face of Mrs. Nor
ris. In trying to protect herself, it is
asserted, Mrs. Norris sustained COM
pound fracture of one finger. Her face
is evidence of the sharpness of Mrs.
Broad's finger nails.
The fight attracted a crowd, and the
principles were separated before more
harm could be done.
The Breads asked the prosecutor to
issue complaint against Norris,
charging him with disturbing the
peace. The warrant was not issued, but
Ford has the matter under advisement.

most opprobrious epithets. but has
threatened her with violence many
times prior to the night of August /,

assault upon her, during which she was
kicked and beaten until her life was
despaired of. She says her husband
left her penniless after the trouble
