Beer for the Unhearc-0¢ Festival. The First Empty Refrigerator-Car Will Be a “Cooler,” ani There’ll Be Sixt:en Beers Apiece. The picnic season has achieved a wild and dazzling glory that beggars meta- phor—achieved it out here by the sunset seas amid the dizzying speed of the cen- tury’s end. On this Sabbath day there will be free beer—beers in fact—for all the world that can get to Niles Canyon. To-day will know the first great picnic The world fur- nished the like of this when Nicholas I1, amid bis late crowning, fed the Moujik nordes with vast hospitality and scoop- shovels on the Moscow vlains, but such events do not often flash in this selfish world. The idea was conceived at the office of the San Francisco Breweries | (limited), where Meanager Stone means business every minute. But the picaic | was planned and approvea by the eight breweries in the syndicate. There is | pesce with vieilance and keen, very keen, competition in the local beer world, and customers are iloved and cherished. Jealous peovle say that it isa scheme to advertise and popularize the syndicate beers in a “‘be a good fellow way,” but | that’s just talk. Anyway invitations were sent out lasi “To their customers, employes and friends,”” said the iitile fo'ders and the outside brewers ook “tbeir” to mean their customers and friends 100 and they swore softly. The invitations were excit- ing reading. *Don’t bring money; nothing will ve sold,” it reads right there on the middle of the third page justa little below “pleniy to eat and something 1o drink.” Skip the luncn business and here it is again—'L'quid refreshments will be dispensed free and freely by all brewers and bottlers.” Free beer for the miilion! The effective- nessof adver:ising was never demonstrated The syndicate stops at no half- way business. The qualily of its hospi- tali was not sirained. 1t announced free tickets and special trains to get its friends to the Gamorinian fountain, By last Saturday night the applivations actually on file numbered 30,000. This week the requests passed the 50,000 mark. It was decided that the tickets shonld be apportioned among the eignt brewer- ies and the associated bottling concerns in proportion to the barrels of beer sold currently, eacn brewery to distribute its tickets according to its own shrewdne: skill and gencrosity. In a_single we half of the boss vrewers in town have turned gray-neaded and sad-eyed and rea- son has seemed ready 1o totter in its| throne. Delicacy forbids awelling on this part of the sitnation. The capacity of the Southern Pacific Railroad on u ires-beer day had to be leainea, to know how many tickets could be issued. The railroad might as well have been a bobiail car line down the county road. 1tcouldn’t have got them all there 1 a week, some pretty big jovs in its't:me, but when the syndicate Lad cried ‘‘Free beer!” General Superintendent Fillmore just threw up bis hands. He and Manager Stone tilted along for two or thres days ana then he said that be could supply cars for 3000 people by using some idle gondolas. Mr. Stone heard more revorts, viewed the demand again and late Mon« day aiternoon guve Mr. Filimore the ulti- matum that if it wasn't made 3500 the declared off. Fillmore surrendered and later surrendered again, 80 that 4200 tickets and badges have been apporiioned. Some strong men sare wish- ing that they had died young. There will be 46 000 stricken onesin San Francisco to-aay. The 4200 will, however, specially bonored guests. be only the Anybody who It has attended to | can get to Niles Canyon by regular trains, buggies, bicycies, flying-machines or shank lines can comein and eat and drink. Thereis a large population within a few miles of Niles Canyon—enough to blanch the cheek. But that's the programme. ““We expect perfect order,’’ says the in- vitation. *‘Sheriff White says we'll have it. Bring wifs, best girl and children.”” The imagination may needlessly pale, for it will undoubtedly be a gentle, foamy, dreamy delight of a Sabbath day. There has only been one danger canvassed. If the liquid refreshments should give out in an untimely way—be meager or inade- quate, or something like tbat—the lion in the breast of the people, while not exactly rousing, might cause a long.ng for home and friends on the part of committees and others. N Itis reported that the Southern Pacific Company yesterday reiused to sell any more tickets to the place for its regular trains, as the car supply had given out. The managers haye arranzed with Sheriff White that the refrigerator car first emp- tied shall be used as a calaboose for the first rioter and his followers. e long { special trains will carry the syndicate’s nd the unnumbered thou- special guests, { will be an inspiring sight. sands besides | To dispense the beer there will bea num- i ber of sixty-foot counters, many tables, ! and twenty-four.waiters will go about with great pitchers to fill any glass pre- | sented. “We estimate that we can supply six- teen plasses of beer to every man, woman and child,” said the secretary of the syndi- cate yesterday. Great Scott] CRICKET CHIRPS. Two of the City Teams Golng Out for Country Matches—Sun- dry Notes. The local grounds will be practically de- serted on Decoration day by reason of the exodus of the Pacific and Alameda teams to country fields. The former left the City last evening for Penryn. It will be made up of the following players: Myers, Dickinson, Harbour, Casidy, James, Mc- Gaw, Wiseman, J. Theobold, Bloomfield, Townsley and Weise. The Penryn boys are preparing to give the visitors a warm reception, so their popuiar secretary, A. E. Coales, who was in the City during the week, informed me. The Alameda eleven go to San Jjose to play the Garden City Club a one-day match Monday. They will be led by their doughty chief, R. B. Hogue, and should give a good account of themselves. Ernest D. bevers, late Pacific bowler, leit San Francisco Thursday for his new home at Dinuba. _At last the Portland cricketers are get- ting a move on. The Athletic Club had a meeting last week and arranged the schedule for the season. They have some excellent new cricket talent, including the foliowing names: Cameron, Barfast, Luke, Allison, Taylor and Williams. Work on the new grounds at Riverside is going on rapidly and it is expected that they will be opened on July 4. On Decoration day the Associated Banks will play the Multnomahs on the latter’s grounds. Ou June 20 there is to be played the an- nual Town vs. @ountry match either at Alameda or Golden Gate. The English cricket news is now chiefly concerned with big scores. Prince Ran- jitsinhji exceaded all former efforts in the M. C. C. and Ground vs. Sussex by a four- hour innings of 260 runs for Sussex.

Judges of the Superior Court Urged to Review Their Brothers, No Fine Paid by Lil'lian Ashley’s Attorney for Carrying a R _volver. Aftorney James L. Crittenden has not yet paid that fine of $250 which was im- posed on him by Judge Slack several months ago. The fact of the non-pay- ment was recalled by the habeas corpus proceedings in Judge Carroll Cook’s court yesterday, Mr. Crittenden alleging that he had been illegally restrained of his liberty under Judge Slack’s order. ,Attorney Sidney Van Wyck first pre- sented to Judge Cook the petitioner’s application for a discharge, and began to set forth the facts as they appeared to him, but in this he was interrupted by the court with the remark that counsel would be admonished to confine his argu- ment to the factsas they appear on the face of the commi:iment; that as to the facts the commitment is taken to be con- clusive, This ruling is in conformity with the most recent decisions of the Supreme Uourt of this State, notably illustrated in the cases of Attorneys Smith and Coffey, who were adjudged guilty of contempt of court by Police Judge Joschimsen. In the Superior Court they offered to prove that Judge Joachimsen was mistaken as 1o the facts; that, as a matter of fact, they did not advise certain prisoners to remain mute when called on to plead, for the good reason that they could not speak the Chi- nese language, which was the only lan- guage that the prisoners could speak or understand, Judge Wallace ruled that the petition- ers had no legai right under the law of this State to be heard in regard to the factsinvolved; that the commitment from the court below is by the force of the stat- ute presumed to recite the truth. This position was upheld by the Supreme Court, and Messrs. Smith and Coffey had to pay the penalty. Judge Wallaca re- marked that the law is clear in its terms, and that he was not to blume if there is any hardship resulting from its enforce- ment; that if there is any complaint to be made in regard to the justice of the enact- ment, that complaint ought to be ad- dressed to the Legislature and not to the courts. Mr. Van Wyck, payine heed to Judge Cook’s suggestion, read from the record of the proceedings in Judge Slack’s court, wherein it wus made to appear that during thetrial of Ashley against Baldwin, Emma Ashley drew a pistol, which was seized by J. H. Unrub; . that Unruh pointed said pistol at jemes L. Crittenden, who is the petitioner hLere, whereupon Critienden made a move todraw a weapon and threat- ened to shoot Unrah, said Crittenden be- ing then armed with a loaded revolver. Mr. Van Wyck said that the petitioner would like to supplement the record, which was correct as far as it went, but being denied that course, would address the argument solely to the matters of law in- volved in the proceeding. This order of commitment, Mr. Van Wyck said, was in the nature of a judg- ment, and as such issubject to attack as are other judgments. The court apveared to concede the cor- rectness of this point, and Mr. Van Wyck said that if this proposition be sound the order of commitment must fail, because there are some persons who have a right 1o wear a loaded revolver in the presence of the court, and that there is nothing in the commitment to show affirmatively that Crittenden isnot one of the exempted persons. He also called attention to the fact that Judge Slack did not proceed summarily to punisn the person charged with contempt of court for an act pe: formed in the immediate presence of the court; that in such cases the court must proceed summarily or loss of jurisdiction is the result. The third point was that the right of self-defense is a right guaranteed by the laws of this State, and that this right is not waived or lost by an attorney who appears in a court of justice. Mr. Crittenden, the petitioner, addressed the court in his own behalf. After em- phasizing the legal objections to the com- mitment Mr. Critienden said: *“Whatifa man with a pistol in his hand should try to kill the Judge on the bench and I be- ing present and baving the right to carry a pistol and having the pistol thera pres- ent should so use it that I should save the life of the Judge, would I be liable to punishment for contempt of court? That is not reasonable. There is notsing in this record to show that the petitioner was uniawfully carrying a pisiol at that time, and that beinig the state of the record this court is bound to find, as a matter of law, that the commitment in this regard is defective and inoperative.” 3 Referring to his own case Mr. Critten- den said he knew of no rule that woula punish a lawyer for defending his own life any more than for defending the life of the Judge on the bench. When Mr. Critten- den remarked that he never would pay one cent of this fine so long as he could be heard to speak in & court of justice against *'so unjust and unreasonable an order as this,’”” Judge Cook seomei about to in- terrupt the speaker, wherenpon Mr. Crit- tenden quickly added : “I unaerstand that Judges do not like to hear comments on the acts of their brother Judges, but I do not speak in a spirit of bitterness when I declare that if this judgment haa been delivered by a jury your Honor consider- ing the matter in Tegard to its lezal force would set it aside on the ground of insuf- ficiency. z “In this age of trusts, combines and combinations the courts have thus far es- caped the prevailing influence, and I hope this may so-continue. 1 understanc that there is an effort here to establish an un- derstanding or concert of action in the Buperior Court of this City and County, 80 that the judgment ot one department shall stand as the judgment of all. I say that if such a course is pursued it is un- constitutional and is a denial of justice. ‘When a writ of habeas corpus is presented toa Judge of this court it is the sacred duty of the Judge to whom it is assigned to consider it as fully and as impartially as1f it had come from Arkansas or New Jersey. These twelve Judges sitting in this county are independent Judges, of equal dignity and power, made s0 by the constitution of the State. If for any reason they or any of them should decline to re- view the acts of their brother Judges, that would kill tue writ ot habeas corpus in this county. We have twelve independ- ent tribnunals, established for the safe- «uarding of the people’s rights, and the observance of concert of action in matters of this kind would reduce the court to practically one department. ““Whether I offend Judges on the bench or not, I say that it is their absolute duty to perform their functions in an abso- Iutely independent manner in regard to the writ of habeas corpus as well as other matters that come before them.

To-morrow the California Yacht Club will hold their annual regatta. Of the large boats the Edna should win, as she has shown great speed. Last year | she won the Wallace trophy, and it is ex- | pected that she will repeat her perform- ance. The race between the Pheenicia and the Flash should be interesting and exciting, as last year the Fiash won from the| Pheenicia by a very narrow margin. | The Pheenicia has a new su:tof sails‘ and a new rigging, and it is hoped this | will increase her speed materially. | The trophies offered by the Californias | are beautiful class flags. | The regatts committees of ths Encinals | and the Corinthians have selected the 19th of June for the race for the San Fran- cisco challenge cup. | The start will be made at the narrow- | gauge wharf, and the race will be sailed | over the Encinal course.

Mr. Moore, with a force of five men, has commenced work on the new San Francisco Yacht Club houae foundation. It will be made on iron piles filled with cement. The old piles will also beutil- ized and cemented. The Chispa was out last Sunday, but her new sails require a great deal of stretch- ins before they will do her any good. Her flying jib is a complete failure and wouid not set, so it had to be taken in. She will h‘.v- another new one made in place of it.
