O Bren felt compelled to explain to the republican

BEDEVILMENT OF
CALIFORNIA LAW

Forty years ago the state OF
New York did exactly the same
thing as these proponents now ad-
vocate, and a little later the state
of California followed this ex-
ample in a very enlightened way.
The California codes drawn up by
David Dudley Field and his col
leagues in the early seventies con-
tain clear, admirable and com
plete statement of the principles
and rules of law as they had
grown up under the Interpretation
of the best English legal minds.
That enlightened body of law has
been SO much bedeviled since that
its own father would not recog-
nize it. The law is one thing, its
Interpretation by narrow minded
Judges is another and a very diff
ferent matter. If we add to this
cause of error the bedevilment
due to the muddling and fuddling
of the ignorant Or crooked legis-
lators we need not be surprised at
the unfortunate results for the law
of California.

of such trivaltes disguised law it is worth while
perhaps, to mention that provision of the penal cod
which solemnly makes it misdemeanor to rob

This, to be sure is harmless and is merely ride
ulous example OF trivaity invested with the dignit
of law by some busybody with nothing in partcula
to do. But chiefly the bedevilment of American lav
is due to the judicial attachment to petty technical

Lawson, dean OF the law department of the Univer-

Absurd as they are, they might be multiplied indef-

After commenting on the reversal of the Jackson
Hatch conviction Chester Rowell, writing in the
Fresno Republican, goes on to say:
On the day the court handed down another
decision quite as ridiculous, though it has
tracted much comment. A prisoner was con

STOLE FUNDS
Of ORIENTAL
SOCIAL CLUB

Embezzlement of the funds of the
Oriental Social Club of San Francisco
is the charge against Jeu Yuen Now
the Chinese '@no was arrested here on
cabled requests from San Francisco
and whose habeas corpus cases have
been keeping the courts busy for some
days.
He is alleged to have absconded on
October %, with $6,779 of the clubs
money.
The woman who came with Jeu is
also accused of having stolen money.
She was engaged to him and it is
charged that she stole 5000 in coin
and lot of jewelry from a Chinese
merchant on Washington street, San
Francisco.
There was another stage of the
Jeu Yuen-mow case in the Supreme
Court this morning, when Attorney
Mcbride appeared before Chief Justice
Hartwell and Justices De Bolt and
Perry and asked that his clients ap-
peal be advanced on the calendar, and
, that an order be made releasing the
petitioner from custody. Jeu Yuen-
now, it will be recalled, is being held
on account of alleged embezzlement
in San Francisco, and officer Condor
is now in town awaiting the concur
sion of the necessary proceedings.
| The Court advanced the date of hear
ing to Monday next, but did not make
any order concerning the custody of
the petitioner.

tons being made to them in order
that accommodations can be found for
the scholars.
The list of new buildings to be ask
ed for, and additions required to those
already standing, is formidable one
and it may be considered necessary to
ask for even more money than that
now planned. When the Legislature
meets in February it will be asked
to vote fairly large sum to carry out
the work that the department has in
view-work, it is stated, that is high
ly necessary for the safe and healthy

ever, all nights are comfortable. The
rooms are mosquito proof and airy.
The cuisine is not excelled anywhere
and the surroundings all that nature
could provide. The lanais are the
most expansive of any hotel in the
territory and with the many easy
chairs for the guests it would be diff

golf links and the excellent tennis
court for the use of the guests are
among the pleasurable adiuncts to this
most delightful hotel 1t is cool there,
now, and the sunsets view from the
yerandas are splendid.
