is KNOCKED OUT

UNION CITY, April 20.-The Obion
county road law has been declared un.
constitutional in two cases tried by
Chancellor John S. Cooper on the
ground that the body of the act is
broader than its title because it was
"the evident purpose of the legisla-
ture to make the act apply alone in

legislation, and because no legal and
ADEQUATE provision was made for the

OLD TIME Minstrel
DROPS DOWN DEAD
Bert HaverIy SwoOns in Saloon
After Joking With Bar
Tender

Entering a cafe at the corner of Fill
more street and Golden Gate avenue
early yesterday morning Bert Haverly,
one time premier minstrel. ordered a
drink. chatted and joked for a mo-
ment with the bar tender, and as he
turned TO leave the place, swooned
and fell TO the floor, dead. The funeral
will be under the direction of John
Morrisey, manager of the Orpheum,
who. on learning of the death, called
on the coroner TO take charge of the
body.
Bert Haverly first came into promi-
nence as a minstrel more than 25 years
ago ar the old Standard theater in
San Francisco with Reed and Emerson.
About 1885 Haverly left Emerson and
Reed TO take the leading role in one
of the Hoyt comedies. "A Trip TO China
town." in which Haverly scored much
success.
He had previously married and then
become divorced from Miss Carter,
daughter of a prominent San Jose in
surance man. While playing with "A
Trip to Chinatown Haverly met and
married Laura Biggar, who created
the role of the widow In that play.
He was later divorced from his second
wife.
In 1890 HaverIy was engaged with
Russell's comedians in The City Di-
rectory" q production whose cast in
cluded such actors as May Irwin, Willie
Collier. Charles Reed, May Yohe and
Pete Daley. all of whom later became
stars Of the first magnitude.
Haverly always was known as a free
spender. and it is improbable that he
has left any property

UNITED RAILROADS
MUST SUBMIT LISTS
Company Viii Be Forced to
Produce Names of Witnesses
to Accidents

That the United Railroads will here
after be compelled to submit full lists
of witnesses of streetcar accidents is
Indicated by the policy pursued by the
district attorneys Office in the case of
Mrs. Mary Sullivan. who was thrown
from a car and killed October Is at
Polk and Jackson streets.
Assistant District Attorney Robert
Harrison will be on hand at the inquest
next Wednesday. He will attempt to
discover what happened to the list of
witnesses which the conductor of the
car. Fl. A Lephart, says he secured and
submitted to the claim agent of the
company. who in turn says he gave 1t
to the law department Neither man
can remember any of the names on the
list
William M Abbott, attorney for the
United Railroads, has been subpenaed
and will be asked for the list of wit
nesses said to have been given him by
the claim agent.
The inquest was first scheduled for
October %, but was postponed until
October 80 because Abbott was out of
town. 1t was again postponed yester-
day because Abbott could not be pres
ent. Abbott will be forced to appear
next Wednesday and give up the list or
explain what happened to it.
The motorman of the car says that
Mrs. Sullivan told him to stop at Jack
son street and then tried to get off in
the middle of the block and was killed
by her head striking the pavement

mined TO make a thorough investigaL

1 am of the opinion that the charter
provisions suggested in the communi-
cation of the merchants association
do not present an obstacle in the way
of the timely fulfillment of the obliga-
tions of the city, as expressed in the
compact between it and the federal
government"
LONG INDORsES ACTIONS
Longs two opinions. both on the
special points sought to be raised by
Attorney Wright and on the general
procedure of the board to the pres
ent moment, We're equally thorough
been done and the citys position. In
part Long said:
That he knew of no legal objection
that could be raised affecting the reg
ularity Of the proceedings or the valid
ity of the proposed bond issue. All the
acts of the board of supervisors in this
MATTER have been in accordance with the
charter. The most important thing at
hand is for the city to show its good
faith in the matter of the acquisition
of an independent water supply by ac-
cepting the offer of the government.
The agreement with the government
for the purchase and exchange of land
is merely part of the general scheme
for acquiring reservoir sites.
The only manner in which the city
can secure unpatented land from the
government is TO exchange for it pa
tented land These transactions in no
way involved the validity OF the bonds
sought TO be issued.
City Attorney Long advised that all
persons be urged thai the city must
first dispose of the question of ratifi-
cation and that then the working out
of the details would logically follow.

Being a Christian
Being a Christian

There is only one way in which a
man can really become Christian. 1t
is not by any profession or any belief
or any faith. 1t is not by the accep-
tance of any salvation scheme where
by heavens joys are received by the
charity of God and the sacrifice of
Christ It is simply and solely by the
living of the life that Jesus lived, the
endeavor to do the same deeds that
Jesus did, and the adoption of the same
principle that dominated his life. 1t is
not in following the man, but in fol-
lowing his method. Believe what you
like. but do as he did. You are no
Christian otherwise.

PLUMBER IN COURT
Judse Burpee Suspended Sen.
 isnee on TeehsleaI oiisnse.


 It was the plumber. or rather 1t was a plumbers case that took up much time in the city court this morning. Matthew Gilbert was charged with violating the plumbing ordinance in falling to obtain per init for work done in the house or Andrew Hard Ut 954 North Main street. A bill of Mir Gilbert's was in- troduced during the trial and Judge Burpee was about to have 1t ex. plained when he thought of himself and said: "Oh, never mind. l sup pose this is a plumbers bill.
 It seems the plumbing done In MT Hard's house was not of the satis. factory kind but Gilbert maintained that the work done by him was all right. Plumbing Inspector Walker claimed Gilbert violated the law when he did not take out license to do the work. But Gilbert ana his counsel, Attorney Joseph Reid said there was no need of a permit when there was no new connection with the sewer, only repairs being made. The case was tangled up as much as the job. The court said that the board of aldermen in draft ing the ordinance had evidently for gotten to mention about repairs.
 But if-I were sure that this man Gilbert put in the sink, tubs and etc, I would fine him, but as 1t Is l will suspend sentence," said the judge.
