One Of States S Youngest
Jurists Wins Fame
On the Bench

A SSOCIATE JUSTICE NJ. c. SLOSS
u of the supreme court is one of the
youngest and one of the most dis
tinguished jurists that ever sat upon
that exalted bench. At the first state
wide direct primary election Justice
Sloss demonstrated his hold upon the
republican party and the people of
California by leading his ticket in the
poll
Justice Sloss was the choice of all
republican factions before the primar-
les and was unanimously indorsed for
reelection by the executive committee
or the Lincoln Roosevelt league. JUS
tice Sloss was elevated to the supreme
bench of California when he was only
81 years old, but not until after he
had served with distinction for six
years upon the superior bench in San
Francisco.
Justice Sioss is considered one of the
most profound students of the law in
this state. His possession of the judi
cial temperament was so impressed
upon the bench, bar and public of San
Francisco that he had been elevated
to the superior bench at the age of 81
Justice Sloss was born in New York
in 1863. He was brought to CaIifor-
MIA in 1872. He was educated in the
public schools of San Francisco and
at Belmont school before entering
Harvard college. From Harvard col
lege he entered the world famed Har-
ward law school, where he quickly be-
came one of the marked men of his
class
He began the practice of his pro-
fession in San Francisco and at time
when most young attorneys are strug-
Cling to make an impression upon the
public his abilities brought him to the
superior bench.
Justice Sloss was appointed to the
supreme bench in February, 1906, to
succeed Justice Walter Van Dyke, de-
ceased. The succeeding republican
convention nominated him to the un-
expired portion Of Justice. Van Dykes
term, and in November, 1906, he was
elected by a big popular vote.

Supreme Courts Junior
Member Is Held in
High Esteem

T HE triumphant reelection Of As
sociate Justice Henry A. Melvin of
the supreme court was removed
from the realm of doubt by the re-
publican primary voters in August.
Without the Endorsement of any fac
tion within the party and presenting
his record as his only claim to popu-
lar recognition, Justice Melvin ran lit
orally at evens with the head of the
ticket.
The fact that the primary vote
polled by Justice Melvin was substan-
tally the same as that polled by his
colleague, Associate Justice Sloss, was
eloquent of the kindred esteem in
which they are both held by the peo-
pie of California.
Justice Melvin, in point of service
is the Junior member of the supreme
court. He is comparatively a young
man, although by education and long
experience he is one of the most thor
oughly informed and deeply grounded
students of the law in this state. The
part Justice Melvin has played in the
judicial history of California is more
eloquent than words of his unusual
fitness to retain his distin guished
place on the supreme court. His
progress in the law has been normal,
successful. He began as a justice of
the peace and the people have never
refused to retain him in their service,
but have successfully promoted him
from the bottom to the very top of
the judiciary system of California.
Justice Melvin, after serving as JUS
tice of the peace, was assistant district
attorney, prosecuting attorney. deputy
attorney general and judge of the su-
perior court.
From the superior bench in Alameda
county he was appointed to the SUI
preme bench in 1908. The same year
he was nominated and elected by the
people to the unexpired portion of the
late Justice MacFarland's term. Some
of the most scholarly opinions handed
down by the supreme court during his
incumbency have been written by JUS
tice Melvin.

Ridiculous

Charging that Congressman julius
Kahn had failed to file with the com
mittee on claims of she house of rep

and other legal memoranda regarding
damage claim against the United
States government, Bernard Campbell
yesterday sued the congressman for
$4,000 damages and the return of the
papers. Apparently the complaint was
ney,s name being attached. 1t is a
crudely prepared pleading. full of
grammatical and other errors Camp
bell gave 81 Stewart street as his ad-
dress.
The complaint charges that Kahn re-
ceived the papers in San Francisco ''by
fraud and deceit and in conspiracy,
holding the plaintiff up for graft" No
specifications of the alleged fraud and
graft are given. Campbell says that
the papers cost him more than $50, 600.
POLITICAL TRICK SAYS KAHN
This is simply political trick on

claim is against the United States gov

was not afforded sufficient protection

six years ago I filed his papers with
the committee on claims and introduced
a bill for him. Repeatedly 1 have writ
! ten to him to come on to Washington to
establish his claim. but he has neglect
| ed to do so. The papers have been
mislaid by some one connected with
the committee, but Campbell has writ
ten to me that he has duplicates of
them. AS to the charge of fraud and
graft that is too ridiculous to answer.
Everybody knows how l stand on those
things"

DEPORTATION OF CHINAMAN
HALTED FOR NEW HEARING

Yeang Sui, who prefers to be called
by the more American sounding name
OF George Young" the dapper young
Chinese who was taken from the
county Jail I'm Houghton the other day
and started upon the first stage of a
personally conducted" trip To China,
has received a respite. This is the
same young fellow who claims to have
taken unto himself as a wife an Ameri-
can girl in st. Paul last summer and
IL may be that this respite. which
comes I'm the form of a telegram from
the officers of the immigration service
i'm Washington ordering that he be held
at Chicago pending the making of ar
rangements for the re-hearing OF his

for the reason that his wife would be
likely TO become a state charge.
Joe Pang, the influential Chinese
from Chicago who has taken such a
great interest I'm the cases of the cop
i'm by the federal officers last Deem
Der on charges that they were in this
country illegally, received word from
Attorney Hille in Chicago yesterday af-
ternoon that the federal authorities
had decided TO look further into the
case OF George Young" before deport-
ing him. He went to Chicago immedi-
ately to be present at the hearing next
week but said he would be back in the
copper country soon to help in the
prosecution of HON Din the Chinese
gambler who is now in Jail here await
ing trial for the alleged blackmail of
many upper peninsula celestials. No
thing was said in the telegram received
here regarding Lee 10y. the other
Chinese who was accompanying
George" on the trip back to the home
land and it is supposed that he will be
taken as planned.
There was a long and earnest con-
sultation up at the Jail yesterday morn
ing when Joe Pang called there to pay
his respects to HON Din. Joe has been
the nemesis of the man now in Jail,
having tracked him all over the state
after he heard the stories of the at
itempts OF the gambler to extort money

SUCCESSFUL SEASON ON The
GREAT LAKES ANTICIPATED
Men Interested Believe Coming
Summer Will be Greatest
on Record.
MANY PROFITABLE SHIPMENTS

In the eyes OF the men interested In
the sailing OF ships on the great lakes,
the season of 1910 will be the greatest
on record. owners of both passenger
and freight steamers are enthusiastic
and each and every lire OF trade af-
fected by or Interested in lake ship
ping is correspondingly jubilant.
THE season of 1910 should eclipse
all records" declares President Living
stone of the Lake Carriers associa-
ton. The prosperity that came after
the opening of the season last year and
grew until had the entire season been
as good as the last half, all previous
records would have been broken, will
be continued.
Last season total of 41,6S3,S73
tons of ore was carried. This was an
increase of 395,l1S tons over 1907,which
was a record year. And this with a
bad start. This year there will be no
bad start, from the present indications.
There will be more ore carried and the
rate is 10 cents per ton better than last
season. The 1909 rate was Sc cents
until the end of the season. The ship
per will pay five cents more than that
this season and the unloading rate has
been reduced from 20 to Is cents per
ton.
Lumber and coal rates also have
been increased, and nothing but bad
weather can mar the season, from the
present outlook"
The passenger men are also enthus-
iastic.
1.-THE season of 1910 win be the best
yet" declared one of them. People
already are planning their summer wa
ter trips and the great lakes have be-
come the mecca OF millions of people
not only from along their shores. but
from all parts of the country, and even
from other countries. And why
shouldn't the lakes be popular?
LAS, it now looks only bad weather
can mar the season. And all the in
dications, according to the wise wealth
er prophets not employed by the United
States government, are that the wealth
sion business. OF course. the United
States weather bureau will not predict
seasons weather. but | believe its
employees are with us, heart and soul
AS far as the labor situation shows
on the surface there will be no change
from last year. The Lake Carriers and
lines not employing union men ignore
the declaration. that there is strike
1t is fact that last season practically
every boat on the lakes was in opera
ton in spite of the strike. The union
men claim the boats were under and
badly manned, but the fact remains
that they were able to operate.
The marine unions are still confident
that their strike will succeed. A wait
ing game. as last year, probably will be
played The union officials claim that
their forces have scarcely diminished

The reason that there are more lines
