More than an hour was consumed in deciding upon it.

Following the adoption of the report, J. A. Filcher moved that the permanent ‘umcers be elected at the next meeting of the committee. This was adopted. Supervisor Lackmann presented two bills which the Legislature will be asked to pass.

SALARY ACTS ARE ILLEGAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SAVED , TO THE TREASURY. State Legislature Has No Right to | Interfere in the Affairs of Charter Municipali- ties. The Supreme Court in bank yesterday declared unconstitutional the two acts of the Legislature of 1897, by which the exec- | utive officers of the Police and Fire De- partments would have their salaries in-| creased. ~ The ‘total of the proposed.in- | crease amounted to $3000 per month, or $60,000 2 year: Max Popper began an action in the Su- | perior Court to prevent this money being expended, claiming that the acts underi which the money was to be paid were un- constitutional. The Superior Court decid- | ed against him, but yesterday’s decision | was in his favor, and in that of the tax- | | | | [ | { | Lim., Battle Creek, Mich. payers of this city. At the session of the Legislature in| 1897 an act was passed and approved | March 8, to regulate and fix the salaries of certain officers of the Police Depart- ment in cities of the first-class as follows: Chief of Police, $3000 per annum; captain of detectives, $3000; six captains of police, $2500 each; clerk to the Chief of Police and Board of Police Commissioners, $2500; | property clerk, $§2500; fifteen detectives, §$1800 each. All of the salaries thus pro- | vided for were to be paid -out of the City Treasury the same as before the passage | of the act. A similar act relating to the Fire De- partment was passed about the same | time, and for municipalities of the first-| class provided for the payment of cer! officers as follows: Chief engineer, per annum; assistant chief engineer, secretary or clerk, $3000; assistant engi- ers, §2100 each; veterinary surgeon, $1800. These salaries were also to be paid in their usual manner as before the pass-‘l age of the act. Max Popper became interested in this of the people’'s proposed _expenditure money and sent a communication to Au- | ditor Broderick asking that official if he jed to audit the salaries of the po- lics ire officials upon the basis of | the increase. The Auditor answered that the Governor had carefully considered the bills before signing them and had de- clared that he believed they were consti- tutional. Unless enjoined by legal pro- cess Mr. Broderick asserted he would act according to the statutes, Popper at once applied to the courts for relief for the people, asking that the Au- ditor be enjoined from auditing the de: mands according to the increased rate. He asserted in his complaint that all that the officials mentioned were entitled to was specified in the preceding acts of | 18! which specified that the salaries should be as follows: President of the | Board of Police Commissioners, per | month; Police Commissioners, $100; Chief | of Police, $4000 per annum; captain of po- lice, § per month; clerk to the Chief and Commissioners, $125; chief engineer of the Fire Department, $250 per month; stant chief engineer, ; assistant engineers, $150; clerk, $150; veterinary sur- geon, $60, To Popper's complaint a demurrer was entered. The defendants took the posi- tion that the Legislature had the right to regulate such matters. Popper’s position was that the Legislature had no right to interfere in the affairs of municipalities governed and operated under a_charter. Superior Judge Seawell sustained the de- murrer, which was at that time believed to be the death-blow to the contest, no one anticipating that Popper would take the ma ny further. However, he felt ure that his position was right and ap- pealed to the Supreme Court from the nd order sustaining the de- murrer. That he was in the right is shown by the decision rendered yester- day, which was written by Justice Van Dyke d concurred in by Justices Hen- shaw, Temple, Harrison and Chief Justice Beatty. The part which declares uncon- stitutional the acts of the Legislature in interfering in municipal affairs of a city havimg a charter is as follows: Does the salary or pay of policemen and fire- men belong to ‘“municipal affairs?’ If so, then these acts of the Legislature attempting to raise and fix such salaries have no more force in the city and county of San Francisco than the act of the same session requiring the signature of the Mayor to ordinances and reso- lutions; and in Morton vs. Broderick it was held that such act had no binding force in aid city and county, for the reason that it sncerned municipal affairs and therefore fell within the prohibition against such legislation. The government of the city and county of San Francisco may be said to be dual in its na- ture, and in Kahn vs. Sutro, 114 Cal., 316, this court dlstinguished and classified officers that were county and officers that were municipal; and the officers of the Police and Fire depart- ments are designated as particularly and dis- tinctively municipal officers. It may be taken as a matter of law that the people adopting the constitutional amendment under considera- tion at_the election of 189°did so in view of this_definition of municipal affairs, as distin- guished from county affairs, so decided in that case. The purpose of the amendment is ap- parent., It was to prevent the conatant tam- pering with matters which concern only or chiefly the municipality under the guise of laws general In form. ‘“The fundamental purpose in construing a_constitutional provision is to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the | people in adopting it.”" * ¢ & We are of the opinion that the pay of firemen and policemen clearly falls within the term municipal af- fairs, Judgment reversed, with directions to the court below to overrule the demurrer to the complaint. Back of all these legal features there is a little inside history to this case. This was publish in The Call on the 18th of Yast July. I& was after the demurrer aad | been sustainéd by Judge Seawell and the case was on appeal to the Supreme Court | that the high officials of the Police De- partment became apprehensive that the chanca of their getting their hands into | the public treasury a liftle deeper was getting somewhat dubious. The cases of | Kahn vs. Sutro and Morton vs. Broder- | ick had been decided by the Supreme Court and the meddling of legislators with the municipal affairs of cities hav- ing charters was shown to be unconstitu- tional. Fearing that the anpeal would win tne heads of the Police Department sent De- | tective Bee, now deceased, to see Max | Popper to induce the latter to have the appeal dismissed. Of this particular in- terview with Bee Mr. Popper sald: ‘“The pros and cons of the matter were laid be- fore me by that gentleman and 1 was flatly asked if T would withdraw the suit and not let it go to a final decision. He aid not give any reason or explain him- gelf in any respect, but simply asked me if T wolld do the department that favor.” Mr. Popper did not give a direct an- swer, but asked the advice of his attor- ney. who counseled him to stand on his | appeal, as the point at issue involved the | vital question of home rule for San Fran- clsco. inten 06 1 & LSS 00 010 006 ST TR 05 te judgment av | Burglar Boys Disposed Of.

Then the spectators saw Mose dig down into a pocket and bring forth the Abuse ticket, which he presented to the Governor.

OTHERS MUST MAKE ANSWER | COURT QUIETS TITLE IN GIVING JUDGMENT. | The Action Defeats All Purposes of | the Suit Instigated, Which Will Probably Be Dis- missed. One by one, With exasperating regu- larity for the plaintiff, the suits recently instituted by the Islais and Salinas Water Company to obtain possession of various parcels of land located in the boundaries of the old Rancho Rincon de las Salinas, or Bernal Rancho, are being decided by Judge Seawell, and in each instance the plaintiff company, which is belicved to be a mythical corporation, is defeated. Yesterday Judge Seawell ordered judg- ments entered in favor of Defendants G. B. Gillman, Fred E. Magee, Walter Ma- gee, Savings and Loan Society, F. C. Siebe and Max Goldberg. Judge Sea- well, in entering judgment, ordered all claims of title to defendants’ lands, other than defendants' claims, be quieted, thus iving defendants clear titles to the lands n_recent litigation. The land which the Isiais and Salinas ‘Water Company claims lies along the old San Jose road, and was years ago granted by the old Mexican Governor. —Subse- g&xeml it became the property of Joseph ora Moss, Harvey S. Brown, Francois L. A. Pioche, Henry A. Cobb'and John F. Cobb. On_ October 30, 1860, the land was purchased by the Islais and Salinas ‘Water Company, a corporation formed to urchase it. It was divided into building ots and disposed of. The Islais and Sa- linas Water Company, since the transfer, seems to have dissolved, but, neverthe less, the suits to recover the property from the various present holders have been Instituted in its name. The motive which prompted the insti- gation of the various suits is a ques- tionable one, In any event up to date the claims of the plaintiff corporation have been found based simply on nerve. The original record of the first sale by the company to the present holders is dated January 2, , and sets forth that cer- tain lands_were sold to Henry B. Porter and Abel Wade. The deed bears the sig- nature of the company by F. L. A. Plo- che, H. A. Cobb and C. de Boom, trus- . As there was no common seal of the company, and as no records exist show- ing that the “trustees” named were au- thorized to dispose of the land, an op- {onunlty for lawsuits presented itself an he industrious Islais and inas Water Company apparently rose to the occa- sion and, notwithstanding that the deeds have stood undisputed for over a quar- | One of the deeds issued by the company came into the hands of Mary Barney. She found her lot already in the possesion of John Pforr. She entered suit for posses- | sion in the Superior Court, but lost, the court hold that, for various reasons, the title from the three trustees was not valid. The case was carried to the Su- preme Court, which upheld the decision of the lower-court. This was the beginning of the suit, which is simply a suit against all who hold deeds signed by the three trustees, instituted by two unknown parties, who claim to be the two survivors of the old corporation. They claim that there is no official record of the three trustees who signed the original deeds, that, according to. the Barney-Pforr decision, the deeds are valueless, and accordingly sue for the property. It is stated that the complain- ants in the case have agreed to settle up and give a clear title to any defendant who will pay them 2 per cent of the pres- ent assessed valuation of their property and state that some have already paid up. Others look upon it as a scheme, and are determined to fight the case to a finish. Among these is M. Salomon. He placed his individual case in an attorney’s hands, but the attorney finds himself at sea to a certain extent. He characterizes the whole thing as a scheme, and, owing to the peculiar atti- tude of the plaintiffs, will find it difficult to bring his client out on top. “The plain- tiffs,” he says, “have told us that if we file an answer they will immediately dis- miss the case. We can have it dismissed readily ourselves, in fact, by pleading the statute of limitations; but this is not what we want. If ‘we make any such plea the prosecution will move for the dismissal of the case and the titles of the land will forever remain under a cloud.” As Judge Seawell has quieted title as to the holdings of all defendants who filed answers to the action, all purposes of the action have been defeated, and without doubt the suit will be dismissed in the i V' v o C.
