Hildreth's ch. g by Imp. Water- Other two grew groggy and saw CIVIL SERVICE ARGUMENT CONCLUDED BY GARBER Claims County Offic Are Governe ers in San Francisco d Solely by State Laws. The courtroom of Superior Judge Heb- bard was crowded yesterday morning to the doors by lawyers, officials and promi- nent citizens, called to hear the conclud- clvil service clause of the charter. John Garber delivered the final address in the controversy and contenfied that the Civil Service Commission of S8an Francisco has not the shadow of authority to dictate the qualifications of purely county offi- cers who perform duties exclusively tor the State. The argument made by ex-Judge Gar- ber was elaborate, technical and abstruse. It was historical, logical and able. Its main theme, upon which all the lawyer's excursions depended, was that the Legis- tional right to abandon any of its powers to any territorial subdivision within the boundaries of the State. The Legislature has the power to grant to cities the right of self-government in affairs purely mu- micipal, but it has not the power to dele- gate or abandon the duties of government cisco a dual government, a city governed in municipal affairs by a charter and a county governed, as are all other counties of the State, by State laws., If any other theory of government were to be applied one would have to maintain that San Francisco, since the radfication of its charter, has seceded from the State and | s now an independent political entity. | This theory on its face, Mr. Garber con-| tended, is obnoxious to the constitution and all laws of State government. “No part of this State,” sald Mr. Gar-| ber, “can exist without a county govern- ment. The performance of the functions originally vested solely in the county gov- ernment was never interrupted in San Francisco. The county has from the or- ganization of the State had its place in the government of this city and county. The separate and independent county gov- course abolished when the city and county was formed. But the functions of the county did not disappear rhis was the situation as it appeared to the Supreme Court when the so-called county government act was applied to San_Francisco. In the case of Kahn separate county government had been long abolished, but that its functions con- tinued to be executed by the authorities having the dual character of city and county officers. “In the case of Martin against the Elec- tion Commissioners, in which the main point decided was that the charter was | other counties. regularly adopted, the dual government of the city was again acknowledged. The principle in the case of Kahn against Su- tro was not abolished. Rather its exi!!-l; r ence was fully recognized, and it was | | Ing arguments in the case which shall de-| plajniy the opinfon of the court that the | | cide the meaning and the scope of the| dual government continued under the | charter. As an instance of the recognition of the former decision it may be men- tioned that Justice Harrison, who wrote | the declsion in Kahn against Sutro, signed the judgment in Martin against the Elec- | tion Commissioners. 1f, as the attorneys for the Civil Service Commission assert, the latter case reversed the former de- |out by Mr. Pillsbury to show that the pub. cision, why dld Justice Harrison sign it? | llshed statement by Carter to the effect Furthermore, it may be saild that the court afirmed Kahn against Sutro in three other cases. In two of them, Ste- vens against Truman and Popper against Broderick, the existence of a dual govern- ment in this city and county was recog- nized in express terms. ““The constitutional amendment known as section 813, which permitted the adop- tion of the charter, admitted the existence | of the county officers defined in the de- |is promised and Owen Richardson, who It gave the | was_recently Had it Intended | the Democratic ticket, have expressed its in- | place until the Supreme Court shall have cisions of the Supreme Court, charter no more power. to do so it woul tention in express terms. affairs and in nothing else. No part of this State can exist without a county gov- ernment. Buch a government is the foun- dation of the primary division of the State. Tt ig so declared in the act defin- ing the counties. There this city is de- scribed as the city and county of San Francisco, and its boundaries are defined along the same lines as the boundaries of “Take the history of the State and we find that the original government peninsula was that of a county. In 1851 the county of San Mateo was carved out of the county 5f San Francisco, and a city and county government was substituted for the old scheme of political organiza- tion. That government was carried on by the consolidation act and it so exists to- day, despite the claim that the charter cuts off all State authority. “Indeed, the charter Itself acknowl- edges that a county. government exists with the strict county government. ey | here. Tt strictly defines the duties of the remained as before, to be executed by the m“nlfiJmX officers, but leaves the author- | eity and count ity and obligations of the county officers to the Legislature, sayin H ficers shall derive thelr powers from the statutes of the general laws of the State. In that it admits there is after all a coun- ty government.” FE n conclusion Mr. Garber con: when the Legislature of (‘anftcf:;fl:d;::: to 8an Francisco powers which it had no right to abandon or delegate it committed an urconstitutional act. At the conclu- slon of the address Judge Hebbard an- nounced that he would hasten his decision and the case was submitted.

Robert Chipps, one of its directors and one of the Nome | “jumpers,” was on the stand and he was compelled to tell a great deal that the company would rather had been kept se- cret. His testimony contradicts the state- ment of Senator Carter to the effect that he had never met Noyes. He also ad- mitted that the company, a concern cap- italized at $15,000,000, had its office in Mc- Kenzie's room in a hotel; that McKenzie was the company; that McKenzle knew Noyes would be appointed before the ap- | pointment was made, and that McKenzie held over half of the stock of the com- pany when he was appointed receiver of | the Discovery claim. More about the ut- terances of Noyes while on his way to Alaska and of his Intentions was brought out, and before Chipps was ready for cross-examination by Geary there was | not much of the reputation of the com- pany remaining. The whole of the forenoon was occupled | by E. 8. Pillsbury in winding Chipps | around his finger. Chipps swore that he | was introduced by Alexander McKenzie to | Judge Noyes in Washington, D. about two months or six weeks before he arrived | in Nome, and Noyes informed him that he | was a candidate for the vacant judgeship | in the Nome District of Alaska. He toid Chipps that Senator Hansbrough of | North Dakota and Senator Carter of Mon- | tana were his friends and were assisting | him in getting the appointment. Chipps | afterward met Judge Noyes at Seattle | after his appointment and had many talks | with him there and on the steamer about the mining legislation in which the wit- ness was interested. From Chicago Chipps went to New York | with Mr. Hubbard of the law firm of Hub- | bard, Beeman & Hume. Alexander Mc- Kenzle was organizing the Alaska Min ing Company, and Chipps sold his mine | to McKenzie, receiving in exchange $750 | cash and stock in the Alaska Mining Com- pany of the par value of $300,00. The | company was capitalized for $15,000,000, | Mchkenzie taking fifty-one parts of the stock for himself and friends, names un- | revealed, and giving the remaining forty- nine parts to Chipps and others, who sold their mines to him. Blakeslee, Slade, Wa- ters, Webster, Leonard, Fisher and Kes- | ter of Nome turned over their claims to | the compapy, taking stock for the same. The office of (he.commng was Mc Kenzle's private room in a hotel in New | York City. The stock book containing the certificates was put by the witness | into the custody of Kennedy, Todd & Co., | bankers in New York. ‘All the parties had made an agreement with -McKenzie and Hubbard that the certificates of stock | should not be taken out of the book until this fall. The witness met McKenzie and Judge Noyes in_Seattle with the whole court | stafl. McKenzie came on the same train | from the East with Judge Noyes. On the | way to Nome from Seattle Judge Noyes | said that he had heard of these cases | and he supposed that Chipps would have a receiver appointed. Judge Noyes recom mended the employmem of Dudley Du- bois and Thomas J. Geary because they were good lawyers. After McKenzie haa been appointed receiver he suggested to | | Chipps that he should take back the deed he Fmd glvm to McKenzle and give it to Hubbard. ou were a dummy in that case; were- n't you?" asked Mr. Pillsbury. “¥ell, rather,” replied Chipps. “You were merely a figurehead in those proceedings after you got there and made this deed to Mr. Hubbard?" persisted the relentless Pillsbury. “I might have been that,” was the re- “T don’'t know whether I was or The witness went on to say that the persons clalming the Lane property wers jumpers, and were to have stock In the company. Chipps sald he met Hansbrough and | Carter in Washington and they were in company with McKenzie and Noyes. The four talked together. This was brought Gold Mining Company Told by Robert Chipps, Director and - Claim Jumper. that he had never met Noyes might not be altogether true. Pillsbury then took up the trip to Nome and the Conversations the witness had had with Noyes. Noyes evidently talked very freely to him, for one of his inter- esting communications was that Chipps should have a receiver appointed, for the appointment of a recelver would bring those fighting him to time. Chipps was then made to tell of the beach property which was held by the company. He said McKenzie had the men Wworking on the beach arrested for tres- pass and had them brought before the Court Commissioner, and while they were thus held he entered upon thelr claims with machinery and started to work them. The machinery was not suitable, however, so the deal was not much of & success, 4 Then the weary witness was turned over to Geary to give the other side a chance to see what could be done toward repairing the breaches his evidence had made in their case. The cross-examina- tion did little good, however, so Geary went into more general subjects. Under his questions Chipps told how he went to Alaska first as an employe of tha Anglo-Alaskan Syndicate, an English con- cern that was seeking to open up the gold fields to their own profit. Chipps and about thirty others were sent to Alaska to locate claims wherever they found a +.ely guleh or creck, and In pursuance of this Chipps located fourteen before h contract expired, and the others. he suy poses. each located as many more. But the English syndicate suddenly went un- der with the death of its Alaskan man- ager, a man named Gurling. and so Chipps looked around for some one else who would take his claims off his hands. He found McKenzie and the Alaska Gold Mining Company. Before that., however, his contract with the English syndicate having expired, he looked around for locations for himself and finding that Discovery claim on Anvii Creek was paying well, and that it was located by men he thought were not citi- zens, he promptly vindicated his citizen- ship by jumping it. He was told thera | would be a fight over the title, but he be lieved his title would stand before “any fair Judge.” This claim, with his others, he turned over to McKenzie. Geary tried hard to get him to admit that McKenzie | refused the Discovery because there might be litigation over the title, but McKenzie was evidently not refusing a good thing. The witness could not remember that Mec- Kenzie had ever refused to accept it, and | that he did not is proved by the fact that the claim was deeded to him and that afterward, when he knew he was to be appointed receiver over it, to comply with the proprieties McKenzie deeded the clalm to_Hubbard. Geary had the witness tell how the sol- | aters ruthlessly put him off the discovery claim under the rule Captain Walker, the | commandant, had adopted, and which by inference Geary denounced, that jumpers must prove title before they would be al- lowed possession. Then Geary had the witness tell of a miners’ meeting that was brokenup by the soldiers. They met quickly, Chipps sald, to reorganize the district, and there was no occasion for the presence or the action | of the military authorities; but when he let slip the fact that the plan of reorgani- zation proposed included the dispossessing of several claim holde the action of the military was more easily understood. ““The constitution did not follow the flag into Alaska under Captain Walker then, ' sald Geary facetiously in this connection. “They didn’'t get the flag until you got Judge Noyes.” was Pillsbury's equally facetious teply, and then Geary returned to_the busginess of the cross-examination. The substance of the remainder of the afternoon’s t imony was that the Court Commissioner, Shepard, who, before Noyes, presided over the only court in Nome, and the military were supporting the “Swedes”” against the Americans. That when an American jumped a Swede's claim because the Sweda was not a citi- zen the jumper had to prove his title be- fore he could hold on was being made a place not for Ameri- cans, but for forefgners, who were gath- ering all the gold they had found. and who were keeping American c!tizens from their own. The sentiment up there among the miners, sald Chipos, was that they should have a “falr Judge’ and not be governed by the military thev wanted was a “fair Judge. CONTESTS FOR TWO OFFICES. Santa Clara Democrats Clash With the Supervisors. SAN JOSE, Nov. 12.—A lively contest in | { i | lot. | pervisors the courts over the office of City Justice elected to wil the position on 1 not obtain the passed on the case. tor-elect from the Thirt; ; Louis Oneal, Sena- ?‘uflrs[ District, e death of Jus- ear ago by npgoll\tment of Supervisors. The Republi- cans claimed Oneal held the office until the general election in 1902. District At- torney Campbell also_rendered a decision to this effect. The Democrats took the opposite view, holding that the office ex- pired the first of next January, and nom- inated Richardson. The County Clerk re- fused to put Richardson’s name on the | ballot and he brought the matter before Judge Rhodes on a writ of mandate. The court held that the appointment by the Supervisors held until a successor could be elected at the election just held, and ordered Richardson’s name on the bal- tice Gass a the Board of To-day Oneal resigned the Justiceship, to take effect immediately. and the Su- at_once appointed Attorney Charles W. Cobb to fill the unexpired term. This means a long legal fight for Richardson, as Cobb will not glve up the office. The same kind of a fight will be waged over the County Auditorship, which A. G. Col now holds under appointment of the Supervisors. Col was appointed to fill a vacancy In the office. The Republicans held in the case of Auditor as in the Jus- tice fight, and made no nominations. Martin Murphy was elected to the place by_the Democrats. When the Board of Supervisors took up the canvassing of the vote of the late election this afternoon Auditor Col and Justice Cobb served protests on the board against counting the vote for Auditor and Justice. They maintained no_vacancles existed until January 1, 1903, and that thev had been appointed to fill terms which did not expire until that time. The Board of Supervisors, which is Re- publican, thereupon passed a motlon not to canvass the vote for Justice and Audi- tor. Richardson and Murphy will take the contest Into court and ask for a writ compelling the board to canvass their votes. Lt g SALE OF VANANDA MINE VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 12—An im- portant mining deal was announced here to-day when H. W. Treat of New York sold a controlling in- terest in the Vananda Copper and Gold Mining Company's property on_Texada Island. The buvers were New York and Chicago capitalists. organized by C. H. Mackintosh, ex-Governor of the Canadian Northwest Territory. The price is un- derstood to have been $600.000. The cop- per deposits of the Vananda are very ex- tensive, but during the four years of operation by Treat lack of capital ham- ered its development. When it seemed nevitable that the mine must close down, New York capitalists put $30,000 into the Vananda with such promising results that | Governor Mackintosh arranged for the larger investment, which is expected to make the mine one of the largest copper properties on the Pacific Coast.

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 12.—Th Stewart, a resident of Victor, was De‘r)l'!nfl this morning to the County Hospital with a letter from Dr. Pitman and Justice Auchinachle, asking that he be well cared for.
