RIVERSIDE, Nov. 14—Thomas P. Jones, a blacksmith of Temecula, a town forty miles south of this city, is under ar- rest, after having narrowly escaped lynch- ing, charged by his own daughter with the paternity of her new-born babe. Three months ago, Jones’ daughter, who is 22 years old, was married to D. J. Tripp, a Temecula butcher. At the time of the marriage, it Is said, the girl confessed all to him. When the child was born the husband made known its real paternity and Mrs. Tripp swore to a complaint against her father. Jones, hearing of this action. attempted to escape into Mexico -and had a_ good start when he was apprehended at Murri- etta, fourteen miles away, by Deputy Sher- iff Zimmerman. He returned to Temecula pending a-preliminary hearine but when the citizens of the town heard of it, a mob soon formed and threats of lynching were openl{ made. Fearing that venge- ance might be wreaked upon the pris- oner, the officers quietly secured a buggy and spirited him away. i AR Estate of W. P.

The defendant demurred to the com- | plaint filed by the United States District | Attorney, on the ground that no crime | was charged. He contended that while the | department was vested with power to | make regulations concerning the Govern- ment reservation, it had no power to make any infraction of those rules and regula- tlons a crime, this being a power that was vested In Congress only, and could not be delegated. | _In the opinfon handed down by Judge ‘Wellborn it is held that the act “making appropriations for sundry civil expenses oF the Government for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1898, and for other purposes,” in so far as it declares to be a crime any violation of the rules and regulations thereafter to be made by the Secretary of the Interfor for the protection of forest reservations s in substance and effect a delegation by Congress of legislative pow- er to an administrative officer—the Secre- fary of the Interior. Judge Wellborn points out that clear statements and per- tinent applications of the doctrine that legislative power can be exercised only by that branch of the Government to which the constitution commits it are found in cases cited in the opinion. The decision will be more far-reaching in its effects than is at first glance ap- parent, It practically throws open to the sheepmen the extensive reservations. It is true that they will still be liable to harassment by ciul suit. and, indeed, such an action is pending against Blasingame in the United Btates Circuit Court. When there are many trespassers it is a difficult matter to prove any particular damage against an individual, though these civil suits act undoubtedly as a deterrent, for when a sheepman is sued he is necessarily put to considerable expense to defend his case. United States District Attorney Flint has nothing to say regarding the decision further than that it leaves the law in a very unsatisfactory condition, and In or- der to have it settled definitely he will ap- eal the case to the United States Circuit &urt of Appenis.
