Chinese Discovered in Car at San Luis
Obispo Prisoners Eleven
Days

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Feb. 22.-There
seems no question but that the twenty
two Chinese who were found and ar
rested here in a sealed car yesterday
came from Algiers, this side of New
Orleans, and that they had been in the
car for eleven days.
Don R. Jack, the deputy collector OF
the port, made a thorough investiga-
tion of the car this morning. 1t had not
been broken in any way and he says
the men must have been in the cal
when it was sealed by John Albrecht
a custom inspector at New Orleans.
Neither the government or the rail
road seals had been tampered with. J
J. Harold, assistant to chief special
agent of the Southern Pacific railroad
and the state railroad police, are in
vestigating the case.
A draft for $50 from Juarez, Mexico
on a Hong Kong bank was discovered
in the car this morning. The Chinese
are still III a weak condition from the
long fast.
One of them is seriously i'll and will
have to be sent to the hospital fol

DELMAS IN FAVOR
OF TRIAL BY JURY
DECLARES VERDICT OF THE
PEOPLE ALWAYS JUST
Noted Attorney of New York Delivers
an Impressive Address in Conn
memoration of Washington's
Birthday

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 22.-Del-
phin NJ. Delmas Of the New York Bar
association delivered a Washingtons s
birthday address here today.
After giving a history of the trial by
jury and its origin in ancient days, Mr.
Delmas said:
1.-The most perfect conception Of a
magistrate is that of a just judge, not
of a learned judge-one who, knowing
the law, also knows that it's adminis-
tration must subserVe, not thwart, the
purposes of justice.
THE age has reached the second pc
riod in the evolution which takes place
in every system of jurisprudence The
first Is that in which the body of
magistrates to whom is intrusted the
administration of the law, losing sight
of their mission to do justice, place the
administration of the law beyond the
reach and comprehension of the unini-
tiated, surrounding it with ceremonials
which they alone understand.
But there is a second period in the
evolution of Jurisprudence. 1t is that
in which reaction takes place against
the jealous conservatism of the judicial
body and the demand is for Justice
plain, ordinary, everyday justice.
And now, the final question remains,
in the trial Of controversies, to whose
hands shall the application of these
fundamental principles be confided ?
Shall it be intrusted to judges or to
juries? Shall it be given to a body of
men who represent but one class of
the community, or to a body composed
of all classes?
For my own part, have no hesita-
ton in answering this question. Be
lieving in self-government, I believe in
the right of the people to make their
own laws. Believing in the right of the
people to make their own laws, I be-
lieve in their right to administer them.
Il give my fullest assent, therefore,
to the words uttered by one of the
chief justices of England, of the Vic
torian age, who summed up his judicial
experience by saying:
A jury trial gives expression to the
sense of justice of the people, which is
the nearest approach to absolute JUS
tice attainable in earthly tribunals d"

COUNTERFEITER'S
PLANT BETRAYED
STARTLING DISCOVERY MADE
IN G0LDFIELD
FORTUNE SECURED BY FORGING
COMPANY CHECKS
Alleged. SwindIer Declared to Have
Drawn Salary as Carpenter-Dis-
appears, Leaving No clew
Behind
tBy Associated Press.l

GOLDFIELD, New, Feb. 22.-Follow-
ing the discovery that thousands OF
dollars have been secured by means OF
forged time checks on the Consolidated
Mines company, the officials have un-
earthed a complete counterfeiting plant
in house on Broadway, equipped with
furnace, dies, a press for stamping out
coins, metal discs ready for the press,
! engravers' tools, sample checks and a
small library covering the art of fine
| engraving.
c. J. Love, who had purchased the
house and lot and occupied it, has dis
appeared, leaving no trace of his
whereabouts. Love was employed by
the Consolidated company as a carpen-
ter, and retained his pay check as a
model.
The forged checks were not printed in
Goldheld. They are pronounced ex-
ceedingly clever limitations, and the
forgeries of the signatures are almost
perfect, showing the maker to be an
expert.
The checks were cashed by trades
men and saloon men, and the John S.
Cook bank passed them without ques-
ton.
The fraud was discovered in check
ing over numbers in the Consolidated
offices three days ago, which afforded
Love a chance to escape.
Love had a secret code of designs
used in correspondence. A pipe from
his furnace connected with that from
his stove in the kitchen above the fur
mace cellar, which was reached by a
secret trap door. other materials were
found capable of turning out $40 and
$40 pieces.
Receipts show the plant was shipped
here from San Francisco two years
ago
The forged checks cashed by the Cook
bank amounted to about $4,000, as near
as can be learned.
