Sensational Episode Occurs in Court at
Victoria When Member of
Bench Refuses to Obey

By Associated Press.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. ia sensa-
tional episode in which Judge A. r.
Martin impugned the independence of
his brother judges of the British Column
bia judiciary took place this morning
when the case of Hunting VS.. McAdan
was called In the appeal court, and q
deadlock has resulted in consequence of
the refusal of Judge Martin to bow to
the ruling of Chief Justice Hunter.
Judge Martin, one of the youngest
judges, has for some time past been
engaged in controversy with the chief
justice regarding the propriety of noti-
fications assigning him to sittings OF
the court, and the climax came this
morning when Chief Justice Hunter
assigned Judge Morrison, with Judges
Clement and Irving, to hear this case.
Some months ago Judge Martin was
assigned to the appeal court. not being
subsequently assigned to the assize
court, and holds that the assignment of
some months ago still maintains.
Chief Justice Hunter says he has
power to alter any of the arrangements
and when he instructed Judges Morri-

case the barristers and public were sur

on the bench and insist upon remain

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.--Joseph Cam
pion and his 16-year-old wife, the lat
ter with a baby in her arms, and an
other child cinging to her skirts, came
into police court yesterday to answer
q charge of stealing. With them was

keeper for Thomas Queenan, who was
the complainant against the three.
He said that articles had been stolen

took the articles and gave them to
Mrs. Campion, with whom she had
formerly gone to school. She said she
did Ii to keep the Champions from
starving. Campion was Ill and out
of work, and his family was suffering
for food when Miss Dean discovered
them. She had no money, but stole
from her employers house to provide
her friend and the babies with food.
Mrs Campion at first denied the

ways had plenty to eat, but when the
police officers told of several visits to
the house and of the little ones cry
ing for food, and with nothing to eat
in the house but single onion, she
dropped down and admitted that the
family would have starved but for

VALENTINES CAUSE
A MERRY MlXUP OF
EAST SIDE FAMILIES
Prosecuting Attorney Is Made Ac-
quainted with Facts in Tragic
Case of Mesdames Jung
and Schmidt

Part of the East Side district is in
a turmoil and two factions have
sprung up-one made up of the friends
and relatives of Mrs. Sam Schmidt,
and the other of associates of Mrs.
Mamie Jung.
1t all resulted from the sending of
valentines. While thousands of happy
persons throughout the city played
hearts ate heart-si1aped cakes and
INDUCED in heart to heart talks, two
women sat in their respective homes
with hearts filled with an anger that
could not be overcome and with vis-
ions of beautiful hair-pulling battles
that could not be dimmed.
The whole matter was put UP to the
prosecuting attorneys office yesterday,
and after delv1ng into legal authori-
ties. ancient and modern, Deputy
prosecutor Ford is at sea to find a
solution to the puzzling question.
1t was an irate woman, indeed, who
appeared at the police station and
bounced without ceremony into Ford s
presence.
Look at that" she cried. "Ain't it
shameful?"
Two valentines, highly colored and
accompanied by a letter were thrown
upon the desk in front of the sur
prised attorney.
The woman gave her name as Mrs.
Mamie Jung. Ford bundled her state
ments together and discovered that
Mrs. Schmidt believed the valentines
had been sent to her by Mrs. Jung, and
so had returned them with an unsigned
letter.
One of the caricatures represents a
rather buxom and scantily attired
woman of more than ordinary avordu-
pois, while the other represents bar
gain counter fiend.
The letter accompanying the valen-
tines was addressed, not to Mrs. Jung,
but to her husband, and is couched in
somewhat sarcastic terms.
your wife has sent me two of her
pictures" it says, "but I am return
ing them as I do not keep pictures of
any others than friends. This likeness
of her as a shopper is good, but
would advise you to give her less
money to spend in that way and use It
to pay your whisky bills
Ford wrote letter to Mrs. Schmidt,
asking her to call on him at the police
station, when matters will probably be
Strengthened out. Both families live
on San Mateo street.

STRIKE OF ENGINEERS
ON SCHoONERS CERTAIN


BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1s.-Commit-
tees of both the Marine Engineers as
ISOLATION and the schooner owners, en-
powered to settle the dispute between
the two organizations regarding the
number of engineers to be carried on
vessels, met today and decided to stand
by the statements issued yesterday.
This action makes it certain that a
strike of engineers will be on tomor-
row night at IL o'clock, and after that
time no steam schooners will leave this
port with association engineers in
charge.
The owners asserted tonight that
should the engineers refuse to go on
the ships they will be able to secure
independent engineers sufficient to
handle business at the present.
No question of wages has entered
into the controversy as yet, but the
engineers claim to have information
that a reduction was contemplated by
the owners.
