ceed,ng further in sgarnishment pro-
ceedings against the board by Ander-

TO complete the building, and Anderson
e. Sons. who had furnished some of
the material. filed mechanics lien
on the building, obtained judgment for
S425 against Barrett and Garnishment
for the amount against the board
Contending that this and other sim
liar suits, which had been Instituted
were really instigated by Barrett him
self, whom the board was suing for
nonperformance OF contract to have
judgments against himself, on record
and were not in good faith, but were
in reality to obtain information as to
the line OF evidence the board intend
ed to introduce against Barrett, the
board made application to the supreme
court for a writ Of prohibition to re-
strain Judge Maughan from proceeding
further in the garnishment proceed

of jurisdiction as one error.
The supreme court holds that'if

Maughan had. mere errors. however
gross, in conducting the proceedings
do not rob the court of jurisdiction,
and sustains Judge Maughan's demur-
rer and dismisses the application for
the writ.

other justices the judgment of Judge
Morse of the Third District court In

Though the railway company had paid
the taxes imposed on the property by
the state board OF equalization for
twenty years. the court held that the
real right to assess the property, with
the exception OF the four-rod strip,
rested with the county assessor

by Justice Frick, the judgment In

policy is accompanied by revision OF

in such serious loss to the customs rev.

and, as far as schedules are concerned,
it should meet with no opposition. For
instance, the schedules relating to the
introduction of tobacco, sumatra leaf

pending Payne bill. and therefore have
removed the apprehension that these
goods can be imported into the Phil
