Colonel Sperry presented the case for Stockton, reading from a carefully pre- pared statement the argument which his people make against the proposed lower- ing of rates on wheat from points in San Joaquin Valley to Port Costa, to the det- riment of Stockton. During the course of the argument which ensued H. J.

The rates of his pany, he sald, were lower than th other companies operating on this coast | or in the middle West—they were below the average and did not return a fair profit on_operation, no dividends being | paid. It had been “found difficult to meet | interest and expenses.” He did not think 1t was fair to change; that discrimination had been questioned before, but not up d.

These ordi- nances have the approving stamp of the Superior Court and of the Supreme Court of the State, which tribunals Justice of the Peace Groezinger calmly reverses. The shrewdest and ablest | lawyers of California have exercised every ingenuity and artifice of their t to destroy these ordinances, but failure met every effort. | It should be understood that Justice of the Peace Groezinger has not de- | clared the anti-bookmaking ordinance | unconstitutional on the ground that it | sated be- in amaze- rights of indi\'?dua]s.nr mrp/fx':mm | were then discharged. nor that the Supervisors have 0= vour Honcr,” said Ach, suave- motion that the defendants be dis- have to go gated an authority not granted by the laws of the city and State. These proh- lems Groezinger has not ventured to discu: He simply decided that the prohibiting ordinance was not adopted under a certain prescribed form and is will make a of all the othe d, as most of them “The Judg tated for a moment and then said that he would re his decision on the mction until tc written up, Carpenter and | se to his | leto sur. | Invigorates the Brain and Nerves: a pos reply to | retorted the | therefore unconstituional. Yet the prohibitory ordinance wi adopted in precisely the same way all others which have stood every legal test. There is consequently no concern in the minds of the local authoriti over the result of Justice Groezinger's action. The bookmakers of Ingleside will not resume their nefarious busi- ness and the poolrooms will not re- open. The absurdity of Groezinger's | assumption may be seen further in the fact that the court in which he tem- porarily presides is not a court of rec- ord, and possesses no jurisdiction to ! test the constitutionality of a munici- pal ordinance. In addition to this Groezinger is simply an acting Police Judge temporarily clothed with the authority of such an official. The incident which excited Justice Groezinger's decision yesterday afte: noon was the second trial of H. Jones, one of the gamblers of Ingle- side. Jones' attorney contended that the records of the adoption of the anti- bookmaking ordinance by the Super- visors do not conform to the provisions named in the consolidation act, and, further than that, they have been mu- tilated. It is hardly ne ary to | more In answer to these contentions than that John A. Russell, clerk of the Board of Superviso: and not only the greatest looal authority but acknowl- edgedly the greatest authority in mu- | affairs in the Uni ords and stands re absolute conformity to nicipal made the re establish their the law. ut Jus ice of the P listened to the bookmaker’s lawyer, fused positively to give the pros cuting attorney time to reply and out of hand declared the anti-bookmaking ordinance unconstitutional. Having done that he at once ordered the jury to acquit the defendant. The gambler’s attorney, jubilant over his ready and easily won success, asked Groezi ace Groe re- to dismiss the charges against the other defendants similarl accused. The Justice pondered, hesitated nd then took the matter under adv ment, He was not ready to accept his own decision. There w a genuine surprise in store for the people who crowded Groezin- ger's courtroom yesterday afternoon to near the second trial of the case of H. L. Jones. The acting Judge took upon himself, as indicated, the responsibility of de- claring that the ordinance is unconsti- tutional on a technicality and ordering the jury to bring in a verdict of ac- quittal, against the protests of Pr cuting Attorney Carpenter and al- though Groezinger knew that Judge Murasky has the same points under advisement. The jury had been selected Saturday afternoon, and when the case was called vesterday afternoon M. J. Bohannon, one of the jurors, did not appear. After waiting for half an hour both sides agreed to try the case with the eleven jurors. Attorney Ach at once, for the defendant, moved for a dismissal, as the complaint was defective, inasmuch as it did not state a public offense. The motion was denied. Clerk Russell of the Board of Super- visors was the first witness called to the stand. He identified a copy of the ordinance passed by the board, and against Ach's objection it was admit- ted as evidence. He produced the min- ute books of the board and read the minutes referring to the introduction and passage of the ordinance on March 6 and'13. In cross-examination by Attorney Ach, Clerk Russell admitted that he had considered the suggestions or ob- jections of Ach before Judge Murasky well taken and he had made certain alterations in the minutes since April 25. Ach submitted extracts of the min- utes of the meetings of March 6 and 13 and Clerk Russell left the stand. Attorney Ach at once moved that the case be dismissed on the broad ground that there is legally no ordinance. Prosecuting Attorney Carpenter su gested that the jury be asked to retire during the argument, and it was so or- dered. Ach then took the ground that under the consolidation act the minutes of the Board of Supervisors must show that there was a regular meeting; that there was or was not a quorum present; that when a resolution is passed the ayes and noes must be given, and that inger | Clerk Russell was surprised and not a little indignant when he was informed of the action taken by Jus- | tice Groezinger. “Such a decision is preposterous,” he said, “and is scarcely worth fur-| ther comment. The minutes of the board are complete in every respect and show in detail every act of that body. Not only is this true, but it is also true that every requirement of the consolidation act is fully com- plied with. Even if this were not so the fact would not invalidate the or- dinance for the reason that the courts | have held time and again that the legislative body of a municipality need not necessarily follow in detail the rules of procedure set down by statute. This ordinance was passed and its passage recorded in the same manner as has marked the passage and recording of every ordinance for the past twenty years. The legality | of many of these ordinances has been | tested in the highest courts and have been subjected to the earnest scruti- | ny of the best legal minds in the State, yet it has remained for a Jus- tice of the Peace to make this most remarkable discovery. It is so re- markable that is is scarcely worth | discussing.” | Mayor Phelan was inclined to | | treat the matter as a joke, though he ‘ declined to discuss it for the reason | that he was not fully advised as to the legal aspects of the case. “It is scarcely possible,” he said, “that the contention of Justice Groezinger is correct, and I do not | | think that any one need ve concerned ger | about it. A Police Court is not a ! court of record, and the decision of Justice Groezinger stands for no more than an individual opinion. I am in- formed that this question has been | passed upon by the highest courts in the State and that it has been held | that an ordinance may not be de- | clared invalid on such grounds as are | alleged by Justice Groezinger as a basis for his most remarkable de- cision.” The members of the Board of Su- pervisors generally take the same | view of the case as does the Mayor. | They say that if the race track or dinance is not a law then the cityi has no laws. Supervisor Byington ex- | pressed the common mind when he | said: “The courts will hold the or-| dinance to be valid, Justice Groezin- | ger to tne contrary notwithstanding. | Even in the improbable event that they should not we can pass another ordinance that will be valid, and we | will do so if such action becomes nec- | essary. There need be no apprehen- | sion on the score of Justice Groezin- ger’s action.” The minutes of the Board of Super- visors show for themselves the frail | foundation upon which the Justice of | the Peace bases his decision. These minutes indicate with absolute clear- ness the purpose of thé Supervisors and the legality of their action in con- nection with gambling, and nothing | else is required. The first minutes in reference to the meeting of March 6, when the ordinance was passed to print, are as follows: Extracts from the minutes of of Supervisors of the meeting 'n"ffi?fifi:fl 6, 1899 page 91, book 62 of the minutes of the Board of Supervisors): Supervisor Perrault submitted an order to prohibit pool selling, bookmaking or betting on races or other contests be- tween horses on racetracks, or elsewher Supervisor Phelps moved' for its refer- fim‘e to the Committee on Health and Po- ce.
