|HfNFY-F|CKERT TO
HAVE A RECOUNT
Court Holds That Sufficient
Showing Has Been Made for
Overhauling the Ballots

the Heney- -Fickert controversy over
the democratic nomination for district
attorney at the primary election will be
settled in court by a recount of the
ballots which will probably be taken
up next Tuesday. Judge Murasky yes
terday overruled the demurrer to Flick
ert's affidavit and complaint
The argument centered around sec
tions 81 and 2s of the primary election
law. Matt 1. Sullivan for Heney at
tackled the complaint on several
grounds. He contended that the court
lacked Jurisdiction because the plead
ing was invalid in that it had not
shown cause of action against Heney
and that Heney had not been brought
into court by the order provided by the
direct primary law.
QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
Regarding the question of the juris-
dietion of the court he said that the
two sections of the act were from their
sense and reading intended TO provide
summary proceedings. The intention
of the legislators" he said, was to
have such questions settled without
delay, because of the limited time be-
tween the primary election and the
election proper. 1t could not have been
their intent to leave room for appeal
and thus bring about stay of proceed
ings."
Arguing in this vein he pointed out
that 1T was the intention of the legis-
lature to have such questions summar-
lily adjudicated by the supreme court
and the district court of appeal, but
as this would give these two courts
greater powers than that allowed them
by the constitution of the state. the
complaint was, therefore. Intellectual.
ATTACKS THE PLEADINGS
His second point, that of the validity
of the pleading. was based on the fact
that it was not in form of affidavits
as required by section %, but an affirma-
tion of information and belief. His
last contention regarding the nonap-
pearance of Heney in court was
grounded on section %, which he de-
clared specifically called for such an
order.
Attorney Ira S LiIIick for Fickert
maintained that the filing of the de-
murrer by Heney made unnecessary any
order of the court for his appearance.
As to the Jurisdiction of the court he
cited the Minnesota cases and. though
agreeing with Sullivan regarding the
lack of jurisdiction Of the supreme and
appellate courts in the question. de-
clared that the complaint could be
heard rightfully in a superior court. He
argued that when an act was taken
from another state IT was a sound
principle of law to carry with il the
Interpretation which the jurists of that
state had put upon it.
HOLDS COMPLAINT SUFFICIENT
Judge Murasky. in stating his de-
cision, gave no extended opinion in re-
gard TO his finding, briefly declaring
that the complaint contained sufficient
allegations for a contest.
The court inferentially sustained the
chief objection raised by President
Gator of the election commission by
dismissing the case against the regis
trar and election commissioners on Ca
tors motion. The case was set for
hearing next Tuesday.

Francisco wholesaler, while thoughtful
San Francisco retailers are afraid that
a brief season of the wide open
town. which they do not want, would
result in an Irresistible public demand
for regulation which, provided under
pressure and as the result of recation,
would probably be unreasonable. Ap-
probation of the danger ofg the wide
open" town is responsible for well
defined secession from Mccarthy to
Crocker, who with the independents de-
cIared for reasonable and definite resu-
lation with no increase of the retail
license rate.
The big independent republican slump
to Leland has not materialized and the
hopes of the democrats as we'll as those
of the Mccarthy republicans for that
slump have now no apparent chance
for realization.

Dunnes afternoon argument by ref
erence he made to the LHommedieu
case. Judge Coffey called attention to
the fact that in his notes of previ-
Gus day the official court stenographer
had transposed this name into the
Honey Dew case. Dunno answered
with the suggestion that the reporter
might have had a well known brand
of Scotch whisky in mind at the time
he transcribed the note, but Attorney
Samuel Shortridge objected.
Mr.. Shortridge informs me that
am in error" announced Dunno He
tells me that the brand of Scotch in
question is Mountain Dew instead of
Honey Dew l bow to his superior
knowledge"
There viii be no further session of
the Spreckels case until Monday morn
ing. when Dunno will continue his
argument.

WORK DOUBLES AT THE
EMERGENCY HOSPITALS
Number of Cases Treated
Shows Steady Gain

A comparison between the number
of patients received and treated in the
emergency hospitals of San Francisco
during September, 1909, and September,
1908. shows that the work of the hos
pitals has increased so per cent In one
year. If this rate OF increase contin-
ues during the next year the present
facilities will probably be inadequate
in September, 1910.
Fourteen hundred and eighty-two
cases were treated in the emergency
hospitals in September, 1908, and 2,126
cases during last September.
The total number of ambulance calls
has increased proportionately. In Sep
tember, 1908, 245 ambulances responded
to 245 calls and last September 325 calls
were answered.

JUDGE AMIDON
SCORES PRISONER
FARGO JUDGE SENTENCES MAN
WHO SOLD LIQUOR TO INDIANS
Says SUCH A MAN is MEN,
ACE TO SOCIETY AND HAS LOST
ALL SENSE OF SOCIAL DUTY

Sitting at Fergus Falls, yesterday,
Judge Amidon of the United States
district court passed a sentence in the
Anderson LIQUOR case one of the
cases arising out of the trouble up in
Beltrami county. The defendant. Fred
Anderson, was saloon keeper and
had shown a more or less defiant at
titude in the exposures made by the
federal authorities in connection with
selling liquor to Indians.
The court sentenced the prisoner to
the county jail at Detroit for four
months and to pay fine of $400. In
mis- remarks, before pronouncing the
sentence, Judge Amidon said:
TT would be difficult for me to see
just how society looks to man who
for the love of gain will deliberately
plan to debauch the Indian and render
him a menace to society,"" continued
Judge Amidon. "You probably did
not intend to break law. Your pur-
pose was doubtless to keep just out
side of the law as your saloon was To-
Gated just outside the reservation
But your intent was the same A man
who furnishes liquor to the Indians is
an emmy to society. Furnishing liquor
to a white man is different as the
white man may have sufficient judg-
ment to use it in moderation. The
man who will sell to an Indian has
lost all sense Of social duty and is an
enemy to society,""

DOG PROTECTS MASTER,
Officers Obliged to XIII Animal Be.
fore Arrestina Man,

Chicago, Nov 23.-Until felled by q
policeman's club, vicious bulldog re-
manned faithful to his master last
night trying to prevent his arrest for
dlsorderly conduct Two policemen In
patrol wagon went to take William
Payne, rs years old, to the lookup.
When Policeman Geary started to
lay his hand on the prisoners shoulder.
Payne's dog sprang at the officer and
tore the bluecoat's trousers. Police
man Quinn went to the rescue OF his
partner and met with similar treat
ment from the dog.
The animal refused to bulge from
the side of his master. Payne, in the
scuffle, had fallen to the floor and re-
manned there, while the dog stood be-
tween him and the men who sought
to arrest him.
When all other means had failed. the
officers resorted to their clubs. The
dog was struck across the head by
one Of the policemen and was so se-
verely injured that 1t was necessary to
shoot 1t. When IT had been dragged
out and thrown in an alley, the police
men turned and arrested their pri-
soner without further trouble.

Liverpool OPENING.

Liverpool, Nov. 23.--At the start the
wheat market was firm with values
n to "a higher in sympathy with the
strength in America yesterday and
lighter Manitoba offerings for which
there was a good demand and which
were firmly held. Following the open
ingf there was a further advance, De-
cember gaining an additional "a on the
reported rains in Argentine and the
advance in Argentine futures. La
Plata offerings were firm and it is
expected that the European visible
will show large decrease this week
and also that exports from Russia will
slowly show a sharp falling off.
Towards midday there was some re-
action as Manitoba offerings became
larger and part of the advance was lost
At this time the market was stin firm
and "a to u higher than yesterday.
Corn at the start was unchanged
Later December advanced u with firm
ness of La Plata offerings and the

FAvoRs COMPULSORY MARRIAGE
Minister Says III Health Is Only Valid
Excuse for Celibacy.

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-"There is only
one good reason for not getting mar
ried and that is ill-health," declared
tn Rev. Frederick 8. Hopkins, pastor
of the Pilgrim Congregational church.
Rev. Mr.. Hopkins expressed him
self In sermon last night that the
state ought to compel men to marry
for the same reason it compels edu-
cation and in some countries mill
tary service.
Brutality and criminology are usu-
ally the only valid reason for divorce
and when granted for such reasons
neither party should be permitted to
remarry in less than three years and
In most cases the bending party
never" continued the pastor.
IF after a suitable acquaintance a.
girl would like to marry man, but
he does not ask her, then let her ask
him." declared Mr.. Hopkins.
Some young men are simply too
'bashful for their own good and any
young girl ought to help out a little.
Woman is foolish If she doeg not get
married If she can"

for the trial of the state against Frank

SIDE OF HOUSE

Cong. L. B. Hanna was greatly
shocked today when informed Of the
death of David A. DeArmond. the
democratic leader in the national
house Of representatives, details Of
which will be found in this issue Of
The Forum.
Mr.. De Almond" said Congress-
man Hanna, was in my opinion the
best debater on the democratic side
OF the house Although not sucn q
likable man as Champ Clark, and
therefore not having his wide personal
influence, he was man OF remarkable
ability, and for debate on the floor
was not surpassed by any man in the
house.
He used the purest Enelisn OF any
member OF congress. It is customary
when a congressman makes an ex-
temporaneous speech on the floor of
the house. for him to secure a copv
of his speech from the official report
er and to make corrections OF gram
NAUTICAL errors. De Almond was the
only man on either side of the mouse
who never found 1t necessary to so
correct his speeches"
