HONORS FOR THE BRAVE. "3 ROM every point of view the efforts now being made by Native Sons and Daughters to provide medals of honor for the California Volunteers serving in the Philippines are commendable and de- serve general support. It is right and fitting that a proud commonwealth should recognize by some ap- propriate decoration the service of those who have upheld her honor in war, and since the State cannot act through her officials in the matter, by reason of | the peculiar character of her Governor, it is most ap- propriate that the organizations which represent her native manhood and womanhood should act for her. The steps which have been taken to provide the | funds necessary for the procurement of the medals | have been well devised. The amount of money to be raised is not large when the wealth of the State and | the dignity of the object are considered. The sum desired by the joint committee having the matte: in charge is $20,000, and to raise it none will have to give much if each patriotic citizen will bear his share. The California Volunteers have well merited the honors which it is proposed to bestow upon them. Their discipline and their valor have been distin- | guished during the whole course of the campaign and have won the commendation of the generals in com- mand and of the President. The colonel of the regi- ment has been promoted to the rank of brigadier and two other officers have been chosen for appoint- ment to the regular army, that being the only method by which under our law the President could mark the nation’s appreciation of the service of the regiment. Each State having volunteers at the front will of course take steps to honor them. California should 1ot be second to any in the nature or the extent of the rewards she bestows upon her sons. Each of them has won by the arduous service of deeds done the medal of honor the Native Sons and Daughters are now preparing to bestow upon them, and every izens should take pride in being able to contribute | to the fund and thus share in the honors conferred. s s The flower of Aguinaldo’s army is said to be at | Bacolor. Guess which American general will be the | trusts than in opposition. THE LAW STANDS. HE prediction of The Call that Justice of the TPeacc Groezinger, sitting in Judge Treadwell's department of the Police Court, would dismiss the remaining cases against bookmakers and others for violations of order 174 was promptly verified. The ridiculous assumption by this Justice of the Peace, first, that there were irregularities in the passage of the order, and, second, that these irregularities con- stituted a fatal breach of the State constitution, de- serve no further comment. But the decision of Judge Murasky in the injunction suit against the Police Department is of a different complexion. It seems that the police claimed the right forcibly to enter the inclosure of the Ingleside racetrack simply to ascertain whether the law was being violated or not. This position is clearly inde- fensible. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club has the same right to the peaceful enjoyment of its property that any citizen has to his house or his store. If the po- lice know that a crime is actually being perpetrated within the inclosure, or if a complaint has been filed and a warrant issued against a defendant who is in- side, if necessary they can break in for the purpose of making an arrest. But no policeman has an official right to force his way into any premises merely to gratify his curiosity. This is the substance of Judge Murasky’s decision, in which individual rights and the interests of the pub- lic are carefully guarded. He declares the law in a perfectly clear and satisfactory manner. The evi- dence before him showed that the Pacific Coast Jockey Club was obeying the order and making no threats to violate it or to evade its provisions. The de- fense was that the municipality, through its police, had legal authority gratuitously to attend the races for the sole purpose of observation. This defense Judge Murasky holds to be untenable and against the unfounded claim of the police, as practically as- serted, he exercised the functions of a chancellor by the issue of a permanent injunction. But, while he enforces the rights of ownership, on the one hand, he is equally careful to uphold the order on the other. His discriminations show the precision of his reasoning and the integrity of his attitude. “The defendants are peace officers and cannot be | restrained from performing their duties; they have a right to enter the premises of the plaintiff, without its consent, in the performance of their duties and in the manner provided by law, but not otherwise.” In other words, police officers can force their way anywhere to serve a warrant, regularly issued, -or to | arrest a man, at the moment and within their obser- vation or positive knowledge engaged in the commis- sion of an offense, whether a misdemeanor or a felony. Sections 836 (subdivision 1), 844 and 849 of the Penal Code, among other constitutional and statutory pro- visions, cover this point. But if an officer is searching for facts upon which a criminal prosecution can be founded he has no greater rights than a private citi- zen pardonable excess of zeal on the part of the police. But there is nothing to prevent them from discovering breaches of the law there in the usual and ordinary way. They must pay their admission fee, and then they can act upon the facts within their observation. Judge Murasky, although the same technicalities were argued before him that convinced the Justice of the Peace, was careful to avoid any assertion of the invalidity of order 174. It was unnecessary to his de- cision to make any formal ruling on that question. But his entire proceedings in the case must have been based on the presumption that it had been legally passed, because if the order had been void the plain- tiff, without testimony, was clearly entitled to the re- lief sought. It does not appear that any re-enactment of the order is necessary. It stands as a protection to the community, which can be effectively enforced through the loyal performance of official duty. THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRUSTS. HEN great combinations of capitalists began Wsome years ago to form what are called “trusts” for the management of important industries it was generally accepted by the public that the object of such associations was to raisé prices by crushing out competition and establishing virtual monopolies. They were suspected of interfering with the natural order of economic development, and in the legislation directed against them they were described as associations formed for “restraint of trade.” The experience of the last few years has taught all classes of intelligent men that such associations, so far from raising to consumers the prices of articles pro- duced by the trusts, have had the effect of reducing prices, and so far from restraining trade have so de- veloped it and stimulated it that America, which a | short time ‘ago hardly produced enough manufactured goods to supply her own people, has now become one | of the largest exporters of such goods on the globe. The stimulating effects of the trusts upon American enterprises have been noted by acute observers abroad. Lord Revelstoke, a member of the banking house of Baring Brothers & Co. and a director of the Bank of England, in a recent interview concerning the rapid development of such combinations in this coun- try, said: These combines appear to be of immense advan- tage. Wildcat schemes will undoubtedly be formu- lated from time to time, but great organizations of industry in America have, in my opinion, in most cases resulted in undoubted economy of labor and expense of management, and have been beneficial in financial and other results. Englishmen hardly vet appreciate the force and potentiality of the present movement, but there will soon be a revulsion of public opinfon in favor of these combinations. Amer- fca is going forward by leaps and bounds. and will make things extremely uncomfortable for British industry if we of England do not recognize more ful- 1y that vast capital enterprise, as opposed to more limited individual venture, can only end in favor of the former. and that is where America is now get- ting her pull. . It may now be said that throughout the United States the people have begun to understand the value of such combinations. They are made use of not only by manufacturers but by farmers In California we have seen the upbuilding of a raisin growers’ association and a wine producers’ association, both of which have produced good results,and there are now in process of formation other combinations to manage the mar- keting of prunes and of canned fruit of all kinds. Last winter certain Democratic leaders, desirous of relieving the party of Bryanism and free silver, started an anti-trust campaign in the expectation of making that the leading issue of 1900, thus paving the way for the nomination of a new candidate for the Presidency. Although the campaign was worked up with great industry and political cunning, it failed utterly. The New York Herald, which made a special investiga- tion of the subject, has summarized the results by saying: X Sentiment in the State Legislatures, at their most recent sessions, is apparently more in favor of the The proposition to have Southern Legislatures put the trust issue to the | front, in order to disconcert Bryan, has not worked well. One after another they are adjourning without doing anything. first to wear it on his coat, 4 Such is the prevailing sentiment at present in all In the case of the Ingleside track there was ai parts of the Union. The abuse of trusts must of course be prevented, just as abuse of any other form of industrial management, but there is no longer any intelligent antagonism to this form of co-operative work as such. In fact communities that cannot or- ganize large combinations will be forced to the wall in the competition of industrial life, and the trusts will win. /C\ stated that the United States naval officer gave notice that in twenty-four hours he would shell the city, but that the shelling began almost imme- diately, resulting in the wanton destruction of a large amount of property belonging to foreign residents, for which the United States must pay. It has also been stated that claims of foreigners for destruction of their property in the Philippines, now made against our Government, amount to ten millions of dollars. As American taxpayers must furnish the money, we suppose they may be permitted to inquire into the facts and to inform themselves as to the necessity for running up these enormous accounts for damages. “Already a navy officer has formally objected to the promotion of General Miller, the army officer in charge of the Iloilo expedition. This naval com- plaint states that the navy captured the city and there- fore deserves the credit. This protest is formal no- tice to the country of the existence of a spirit of rivalry and jealousy between the two branches of the service in the Philippines. We have a letter from an artillery officer, written March 1 from Jaro, province of Iloilo, Panay Island, which says: ; “On the morning of the 11th the fight began, many hours ahead of time. There are two sides to the story, but I am inclined to believe that unnecessary haste was used, and that the long standing rivalry between the army and navy precipitated matters. As it is, the navy claims what cheap honor there was in the cap- ture of the town. General Miller, as commander in chief of the forces operating in the Visayas, was neither notified nor consulted by the navy officers. I was with him, and three Filipino Embassadors who bad just returned from Malolos with a message from Aguinaldo allowing the Visayas to make a peaceful agreement with us in regard to our occupying the country. We were exchanging friendly words when suddenly the report of a gun startled us. The Fili- | pinos were worried; -1 glanced out and beheld the Petrel shelling Iloilo. Turning to Avencena, one of the Peace Commissioners from Malolos, I told him it was too late to talk peace, that hostilities had begun, and that the insurgents would at once receive a ter- rible punishment for their misconduct. The Commis- sioners were terribly frightened and begged me to put them ashore. I told them I had no boat at my disposal, but if they remained with us they would suffer no injury. They were but half reassured, and were forced to witness the terrible events which fol- lowed.” It will be remembered that Rios, the Spanish com- mander, surrendered Iloilo to the Filipinos when we had no force present and had made no warlike | demonstration there. The city and province had re- | mained in their peaceful possession, and they had | maintained order and administered government there. The fact that their Commissioners were in consul- tation with General Miller, arranging for our peace- | ful occupation of the province, and that before the Filipinos had made a hostile demonstration, and be- fore the expiration of twenty-four hours’ notice to | foreign Consuls, and without notice to General Mil- i!er, the commander in chief, the navy officers took | the initiative, shelled the city and caused “the ter- | rible events which followed,” makes a record of wan- | ton aggression into which inquiry should be made when the claims of foreign residents have to be paid by the American people. The singular statement of this artillery officer to the Peace Commissioners that their people would be ter- ribly punished for their misconduct is difficult to un- derstand. They had received the surrender of Iloilo from Rios before the Paris treaty was made, when we | had no shadow of sovereignty there. Sovereignty | passed from Spain directly to the Filipinos, and they had only administered it over their conquest. If that was misconduct, the word must receive a new inter- national definition. The officer continues in his letter: “I heard from an officer of the Boston the reason why the bom- bardment began so early, and the excuse is a poor one. The insurgents, it seems, had been seen throw- ing up a few earthworks near the fort. The Petrel im- | mediately began shelling, and the Boston joined in. | The army was unprepared for landing and there fol- |lowed a most irritating delay. At 9:40 the burning of Tloilo began, and soon the entire city was a mass of flames. The ships threw shells into the city and even three miles beyond. The reports of the guns, the bursting of the shells, the conflagratien, the firing of | our Gatling guns and mountain battery from the deck of the Newport, made a scene never to be forgotten.” The letter closes by saying: “In a few days we are to take the field into the interior, laying waste in our path. We must treat these people as the Spanish did, or even worse, if we expect to conquer them. After we have absolutely crushed them we should sell the whole country to Japan, or to any other country that will take it. Tt will cost us more in lives and money | than it will be worth to us.” THE SHELLING OF ILOILO.

The Wade military court of inquiry censures Gen- eral Miles for an “error” in not having promptly in- formed the Secretary of War that the canned beef furnished to American soldiers was unfit for food. The military court is discreetly silent to any estimate of how many American lives that “error” cost. General Merriam appears to be ungrateful, to say the least.

Sl Income Increases But 33 1-3 Per Cent in Ten Years, While the In- crease in Students Is 460 Per Cent. e The Regents of the University of Cali- fornia are not yet ready to enter upon the responsible task of naming a president of that great institution of learning to succeed Martin Keflogg. Some definite action was exyected at the regular meet- ing of the Regents yesterday. For some reason not apparent on the surface con- sideration of it went over untll Friday of this week at 1 o'clock. It required a long discussion to arrive at this conclusion, as a difficulty was ex- perienced in selecting a day which would be acceptable to everybody. The busy men of the world found it impossible to name a day acceptable to all. They all agreed upon the importance of the meet- ing, as their action will have a direct bearing upon the future of the university. Friday was finally determined upon. The n"muer will be discussed in executive ses- sion. The finance committee vresented a re. port, which indicates that stringent me: ures must be adopted to place the univer- sity on a self-supporting basis. It s esti- mated that there will be a deficit of $17,000 for the next fiscal ar, which must be met. It was shown that while the income of the university has increased but 33 1-3 per cent during the past ten years, the number of students has increased 460 per cent. The committee makes several sug- %Esflflns as to a way out of the dilemma. ne is that there be a reduction in each of the twenty-five or more departments of instruction of from $1500 to $2000. The ob- jection which is raised to this is that the standard or tone of the university would suffer, as it would mean lower-salaried in- structors. The second suggestion was that a fee of $20 a term, or $10 a v be “ted from each student. This c d with it the proposititon that the laboratory fees be reduced to equalize the charges between the scientific and the literary depart- ments. It is not thought the suggestion of a fee will be adopted, as the students were once released from such a charge, and it is held the Regents have no power to reimpose it. The matter will be dis- cussed more fully at some future meeting. Everett Schwartz, superintendent of ‘Wilmerding School, is to leave here at once for the East to procure articles for the school which are not to be had here. Contracts will be let for the school build- ing at once. The summer school, attended largely by country_teachers, will open on the 20th inst. and will continue six weeks. Regent Buda objected to the date on the ground that many schools will not close until July . The original date finally prevailed, as it was shown to be most desirable.

L DOCKERY MAKES THE ARREST iy RAIDS VILE PREMISES ON SIXTH STREET. SR TER Large Quantities of Decomposed Goods of All Descriptions Are Confiscated and De- stroyed. g —— Chief Food Inspector James P. Dockery and Deputies Lahanay and Davis made a descent on the premises at 404% Sixth street yesterday and condemned and con- fiscated a large quantity of putrid and vermin infested goods. The place is own- ed by Abe Stein, who was in the law clutches about a year ago for a similar offense, but escaped conviction on the technicality that he was not caught in the actual selling of the vile stuff. This time Dockery says he has a clear case against Stein, as he witnessed the purchase of a, can of was found to be rotten. Stein was Immediately placed under ar- rest, but secured his release on $50 bail. ery acted provides that it shall be a mis- demeanor to place food on sale if it con- sists wholly or in part of diseased, de- composed, putrid, infected, tainted or rot- ten animal or vegetable substance or article. Nearly all the goods in Stein's store come under this category. There were hoxes of figs, jellies, dried fruit, “swelled tins of sardines and cans of fruit and other articles for consumption, which were moldy, ill-smelling and filled ‘with in- sect life. Sacks of water soaked chocolate and coffee, which the worms had burrow- ed through, were lying around in_ full view, and the wonder of it is that Stein was ‘able to ply his trade without being discovered before this. The vile stuff wiil be sent to the fertilizing works this morning. Stein sold his goods at a ridiculously low rate. For instance, salmon and jellies could be bought for 5 cents a can, though his fellow-tradesmen in the neighborhood asked 10 cents or more for them. Stein had provided himself with a number of new labels, which he put on the cans, not | discolored label. The Banner Packing | Company and Sonoma Preserve Compa were his favorites, though he used other to_place on the spurious goods. tionable practices he got ver muc tangled in his answers. First he said that the stuff was not for sale and then in the next breath that he sold only the pack- ages which had a small tag. He ad- mitted that some of the stuff was bad, but_he explained its presence by saying that the scavenger only came around once a week to take away what was not good. He bought the goods at auction sales, separated the good from the bad and gave a guarantee to his customers that what they bought was all right or they could have their money back. He naively said that every can was opened before the buyer so he could satisfy himself. It is said that whoever bought a can of salmon from -him never bought a second one. Stein claims did a_business of about 30 cents but this is not believed, as he pays $i8 rent. Stein is_a brother of the notorious “Gashie” Stein, who was sent Quentin for counterfeiting some ago. | business for nine years. The foul odors which emanate from the place are un- bearable. The punishment to which Stein is liable under the pure-food law is a fine of from $25 to $100 or imprisonment for from 30 to 100 days or both. CHINESE BUREAU COMPLETE. F. D. Schuyler of Seattle Appointed Inspector by the Secretary of the Treasury. Customs Collector Jackson recelved a letter yesterday from the Secretary of the Treasury announcing the appointment by the Secretary of F. D. Schuyler of Seattle as Chinese Inspector to serve in the Chinese Bureau at this port. The Secretary writes that the appointment of Mr. Schuyler fills the quota of Chinese inspectors required to relieve the customs inspectors from further duty in connec- tion with the enforcement of the exclu- sion law. James R. Dunn, who was appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury three weeks ago as chief of the Chinese Bu- reau at this port, is expected to arrive in a day or two. Mr. Flesh, who was ap- pointed chief temporarily by Collector Jackson, and Mr. Urquhart, acting as a Chinese inspector, will resume their du- ties under the Surveyor of the Port as soon as Mr. Dunn and Mr. Schuyler ar- rive. Mr. Flesh and Mr. Urquhart have performed their duties in the bureau to the satisfaction of the Collector and the Government, and they will go on record as being among the very few who have left the bureau with good reputations. Collector Jackson said yesterday that he was pleased with the new order of things. He had been confined to his of- fice day after day, he said, from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until T were chiming 6, engaged on work which will henceforth be performed by the Chi- nese Bureau. The appointment of a bu- reau with its head and all its members responsible direct to the Secretary of the Treasury will relieve the Collector of a vast quantity of work which can be done just as well by the bureau and will leave the Collector free to deal with the Custom-house business, of which there is plenty to keep a Collector busy the year round during working hou —_——— ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, THE SUEZ CANAL—S,, City.
