AMENDMENT HELD VALID.
Idaho Assessors Entitled to Assist
ance of Clerks.
Especial TO The HeraldJ

Boise. Ida. April 1.-THE constitu-
tional amendment providing clerical as
sistance for county assessors is held
valid by the supreme court and. in ac-
cOrdance with an opinion handed down
today, a writ of mandate was issued di-
recting the board Of commissioners of
Ada county 10 hear evidence for the
purpose of determining the necessity for
deputies and other clerical assistance in
the office of the assessor.
The court, in reviewing the case. care
fully defines the difference in the two
constitutional amendments submitted
at the last general election. and Of
which the amendment abolishing the
probate courts was declared TO be in
valid. The court, in touching upon the
two amendments, cites that the probate
court amendment was not regularly
submitted to the people as provided by
the constitution and. therefore. would
have no force and effect even though
receiving a majority vote at the gen
eral election. Of the assessors amend
ment, the court holds that it was regu-
larry submitted to the people and adopt
ed as a part of the constitution.

SAN FRANCISCO COURT OF APPEALS
GRANTS ALLEGED BRIDER NEW TRIAL
Louis Glass; Former Manager of Pacific States Telephone
Co., May Escape Five Years in Prison.

San Francisco. April 14.-By de-
eision of the district court of appeals.
handed down today, the conviction of
Louis Glass, former vice president and
general manager of the Pacific States
Telephone company, found guilty of
having offered a bride to Supervisor
Thomas F LOnergan to influence his
vote in the matter of granting a fran
chise to the Home Telephone company,
is reversed and d new trial ordered.
Conclusions of the Court.
The reversal is based upon two points:
First, the admission into evidence of
matters pertaining TO certain transac-
tions in relation to the Home Telephone
company franchise in Oakland, held by
the appellate judges TO be irrelevant to
the case on trial; and second, that Trial
Judge William 2. LawlOr refused to in
struct the jury. as requested by the de-
Tense, not to allow the refusal of E. ].
thinner. an official of the Pacific States
Telephone company, to testify, to influ-
ence their minds, nor to view his refusal
as an indication that he was withhold
ing evidence which might incriminate
the defendant. The decision of the APP
pellate justices sustains the indictment
under which Glass was tried, though
after an exhaustive discussion OF its
text, they declare it TO be not a mod
ell" while sufficient for its purpose.
