NEGRO MURDERER MAY
ESCAPE THE SCAFF0LD
Supreme Court Presents Case
to Governor Gillett

Edward Silver. the negro who was
convicted for the murder of Deputy
Sheriff William E Smithson at Dag
gett. San Bernardino county, in OctO-
ber 1907. and who was sentenced 10 be
hanged, may be successful in his fighL
to keep from the scaffold. IL the recon-
mendations OF the justices OF the su-
preme court TO Governor Gillett have
any effect.
Silver's appeal from the Judgment OF
the lower court was denied yesterday
by the supreme court, the court holding
that il had no Jurisdiction on account
of the bill passed by the legislature
in March. 1907, prior to the murder.
which limited the time for an appeal
to 90 days. At the time the appeal
was dismissed Chief Justice Beatty in
formed Charles s Darden, attorney for
Silver. that the justices had written to
the governor and had requested him 70
read can efully the transcript of the
trial court.
Silver claimed in his appeal that he
was forced to plead guilty TO the
charge. as his life was threatened. He
also alleged that the fight was a sud
den street fight and that he was COM
PEELED to defend himself against three
deputy sheriffs. At the time OF the
murder the feeling In Daggett ran
very high.
The decision OF the lower court IN
favor OF the defendant in the case or
Alexander s. Keir against his father
Alexander Keir. which was an ac-
tion TO recover a bequest OF S1.100,
was reversed by the supreme cOurr

POLICE COMMISSION
USURPS AUTHORITY
Clash Imminent With Tax Col
lectOr on Matter of China
town Guides Licenses

A clash between the board of police
commissioners and the tax collectors
Office to determine which department
OF the city government has authority
to grant permits to Chinatown guides
seems imminent. Some time ago Com
missioner A. d. Cutler in letter to
the tax collector declared that the po-
lice commission was vested with the
power to issue a card, in addition to
the regulation guides badge, to China
town guides. These cards, the police
commission held, entitled the holder to
the same privileges as those to which
the holder of guides badge is en-
titled.
Cutler in his letter to the tax coll
iector attempts to justify the commits
sion.s assertion of prerogative which
omcials OF the tax collectors Office de-
clare does not rightfully belong to the
governing police body. A city ordi-
nance provides that the legalized
shield, and that only shall be recog-
n1zed among Chinatown guides and for
bids the use of any other form of Gre
Dental.
The special permits are still being
issued by the police commission. They
are small yellow cards setting forth
that the holder is licensed guide and
Is transacting business in accordance
with the dictates of the police depart
ment The argument projected in be-
half or the special card is that it pre-
vents any attempt to impersonate
licensed guide, but in opposition to this
argument is the contention of the tax
collector that the police department
has within it's province the power to
prevent the impersonation of properly
licensed officers
That the matter will soon be ad-
justed seems apparent. The initiative
In this direction will probably be taken
by the tax collectors office, pursuing
the policy used in the matter of the
dance hall licenses. A personal inves-
tigation OF the matter has been inti-
mated by representatives of the tax
collectors Office

pert at both sign and oral language.

er of the plaintiff, defended her cause

her mother had kicked her, had threat
ened her life with a huge bread knife,
and had twice had her arrested on sus-
picion of being insane. In each in
stance Miss Golden said that she was
released by the lunacy commission be-
fore whom she was examined.
She also said that she was driven
away from home in a severe rainstcrm
with but so cents to pay her expenses.
She said that her father left her $4,000,
and that her mother was drawing from
this fund without right.
Mrs. Mcmillan, who is a robust
woman, In quavering voice, said she
had been beaten by her daughter; her
hair torn out. and clothing ripped by

AT RIXFORD'S ACTION
City Attorney and Supervisor
Clash Over Locked Door

by what authority did you order
those chambers locked?" demanded City
Attorney Long of Supervisor Rixford
yesterday, referring to the latter's ac-
tion in changing the lock of the cham
bers in the Grant building formerly
occupied by Justice of the Peace Van
Nostrand. What do you mean by this
high handed assumption of authority?
Do you think you are the whole board
of supervisorsg' continued the angry
attorney IF / were Smith would
see If somebody didn't have to go to
Jail for thisv'
Rixford smiled and said nothing.
This isn't the first time" began
Long again. that you, Mr.. Rixford,
have gone ahead in this arbitrary
fashion. Did the board or did even
your own committee give you any au-
thority to act?"
The board Of supervisors said Rix-
ford evenly, has the sole authority in
assigning the departments. When Van
Nostrand vacated the quarters / merely
took charge of the rooms pending the
boards assignment. Whether the gov
ernor has the legal right to name the
successor is matter in dispute. but
there is no doubt at all about the su-
-pervisors' right to provide and assign
the quarters for all the officials of the
city,
"A man of ordinary intelligence" be-
gan Long violently, wouldn't have
done what you did, change the locks
on those doors overnight-why, man
of even assumed intelligence wouldn't
have done it,
The whole row was precipitated by
the question whether the governor or
the local board had the power Of nam
ing a successor to Van Nostrand. Yes
terday's board meeting neatly side
stepped the issue by eleNing William
Fl. Smith Jr, assistant city attorney
under Long, TO the job, after Governor
Gillett had already named him.
William Sea Jr., a young attorney
associated with Judge Mcguire, was
nominated by Supervisor Connolly who
stated he had a high opinion of Smith,
but thought the board should make an
independent choice. Center and Brod-
erick alone supported Connolly, ID su-
pervisors declining to challenge effect
lively the governors right, Supervisor
Rixford voting for Smith. and then
moving that the quarters which had
caused the contention be assigned to

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CINCINNATI, Jan. 4.-Cincinnati is
astonished at the light sentence given
Walter Wohlweber of San Francisco for
the brutal murder of Squire Singleton.
wohlweber alias West is at the county
Jail awaiting transportation to the re-
formatory at Mansfield to serve an in
determinate term.
This was the very lightest sentence
the court could give. The heaviest
would have been 90 years In the peni-
itentiary. Grace Billingsly, held as
Vests accomplice. was set free. never
having been indicted.
The slight penalty imposed for such
a horrible crime is causing much COM
ment. Men who have stolen $50 worth
of goods have frequently received heav-
ier sentences than West, who after
beating an old man into insensibility,
left his victim strapped and helpless
TO die of hunger and his unattended in
juries. 1t will be possible for West to
obtain his release at the expiration OF
