DEBTS FOR LOBBYING ARE i AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY Judge Belcher Holds No Recovery Can Be Had on Note Given for | That Purpose. By giving judgment in favor of the de- fendants in the case of Laura Le Tour- neux against George P. Gillis and E. Wil- son, brought to recover $635, including | principal and interest, on a promissory note executed by the defendants in faynr of Thomas Eager and assigned to the plaintiff, Judge Belcher has again decided that “lobbying” is contrary to public policy. In ‘an answer filed to the complaint of Laura Le Tourneux, Mr. Wilson stated that he indorsed the note for Gillis that he might obtain money from Eager “with which to lobby certain bills of interest to Gillis and others by whom he was secretly emploved which came up for the consid- eration of the Legislature of 1897.” It was further alleged that the plaintiff did not pay for the note, but the same was as- signed to her in other than good faith. Judge Belcher decided that the conten- tions of the defendant were correct. *“This note” said the court, “‘was given for the urpose of procuring the expenses of lob- ving, and in the hands of the holder there can be no recovery because the con- tract which caused its execution was against public policy, and Eager's in- dorsee has not shown that she took the note in good faith for a valuable consid- eration and withou! the knowledge of the infirmity of the contract. Judgment will hence be entered for the defendant.” ————— Swim at the Crystal Baths. Recommended by. physiclans. Water always clean and warm.

Much of the evidence on which the verdict was based was drawn by Police Sergeant Duke, who as- sted the Coroner in the examination of witnesses. | There was some contradictory testi- bearing upon the relations of Thomas§Burke with the Eayrs family and | as to the appearance in shirt sleeves of Thomas Hugh Cameron, the lodger in the | Eayrs residence. Cameron swore that | when he was awakened by Eayrs at 1 o'clock in the morning he slipped on his | shoes, trousers and coat and went down to the sidewalk where Burke was lying. He did not put on his shirt, he said, and wore only his undershirt under his coat. The Coroner called attention to the fact that Cameron in his deposition to the po- | lice had said that he put on his coat, | trousers and shirt. Cameron said that | the statement in the deposition was a | mistake. J. Stenson of 46 Hickory avenue swdre | that he heard cries of ‘‘murder!” and | “‘help!” and looking out of his window a | short time afterward saw Burke lying on | the sidewalk and the policeman and Eayrs approaching him. | This testimony was supported by that of Police Patrolman William Minehan, | who heard cries of “murder!” proceeding from Burke. He ran into the alley and saw Burke Iying on the sidewalk. When | Minehan asked what was the matter, | Burke replie: “I could lick one of them, but the other fellow gave it to me.” When Cameron came downstairs in his shirt sleeves Policeman Minehan observed | that he wore tan, laced shoes; also a vest, | white shirt, collar and necktie. | Eayrs testified that he came home at 1| a. m., and as he turned into the alley he | heard a man shouting: “‘Help! help! I'm | chained here to a railroad track!” He | went into the house and aroused Cam- eron, who identified the prostrate man as | Burke. He admitted that Burke was a frequent visitor to the house. Mrs. Mary Eayrs, wife of the last men- tioned witness, swore that Burke had vis- | ited her house only three times. Upon | those occasions he called upon Miss Josle Foley. The last time he called was on election night, November 6. Miss Foley was not in, and Mrs. Eayrs stood at the | door in the full glare of the street lights and talked with Burke for about an hour. She admitted that, in company with Jo- sie Foley, she had met Burke and his| friend, John Nagle, one night at the Chutes, but the meefing was accidental. John Nagle testified that Burke had been in Morris Levy’s saloon and was un- der the influence of liquor when he met him a few hours preceding his death. UNION-STREET TRACKS DAMAGE HER PROPERTY Ann F. Reynolds Sues “Presidio and Ferries Company to Compel Obedience to Franchise. The alleged act of the Presidio and Fer- ries Railroad Company in practically mo- nopolizing Union street with its tracks and appurtenances has led to the filing of a suit by Ann F. Reynolds against the corporation for damages and a decreé adjudging the tracks a nuisance. The plaintift ‘alleges that the prox- imity of defendant's tracks to the side- walk in front of her property, situated on the south side of Union street, near Hyde, has damaged her in the sum of $7800. Mrs. Reynolds avers that the company, in violation of its franchise, has intruded upcn the south half of the street and laid its tracks within four feet two inches of the sidewalk and elght feet southerly of the line proposed in its franchise. The maintenance of the track, Mrs. Reynolds 1k alleges, obstructs the use of her side and endangers the life and limbs of her- self, family and tenants, and has depre- ciated the value of her property in the sum state nolds asks that the cofmpary 0 tear up the tracks and move them to the center line of the street, or that it be forced to suspend operations, —_—————— Silverine for Silver.

NOME SENDS A COMMITTEE TO ASK HELP OF CONGRESS Captain George B. Baldwin Speaks of Alaska and of the Reforms Needed Up There. / /) i / e PEOPLE OF NOME. CAPTAIN BALDWIN, WHO IS ON HIS WAY FROM ALASKA TO WASH- INGTON AS A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE + MONG those who arrived here vesterday morning on the Oregon express were Charles D. Lane, the Nome mining capitalist; Lafe Pence, ex-Congressman from Colorado and right-hand man of the Wild Goose Mining Company, and Captain George B. Baldwin, delegate from North- eastern Alaska to Washington, where he will go in company with Dr. Riningar, a well-known physiclan of Nome, and Sam Knight, the attorney of this city, the three gentlemen having been chosen as a committee to represent to the natlon’s legislators the needs of the people of Nome district, and put before Congress the abuses that threaten to ruin one of Uncle Sam’s richest possessions. Owing to the many abuses that have grown out of the unadaptability of the laws culled from the statistics of other States for the government of Northern Alaska, it has been thought necessary for the people of that section of the country to call the attention of Congress to these abuses with the idea of so mending the laws that the injustices now suffered may be done away with. For this purpose the people of Nome, in the greatest mass- meeting ever held in Alaska, unanimously elected those named as a commlittee to represent them in Washington, empower- ing it to speak at the nation’s capital as the voice of the entire population of the portion of the Territory it comes from. Dr. Riningar has already gone East and Captain Baldwin and Mr. Knight will fol- low in the course of the next few days. Captain Baldwin is an old San Fran- ciscan and well known to the people of this city. He had command of the guards during the Midwinter Fair, was in charge of Alcatraz Island during the war with Spain, served with Logan during the Fili- pino trouble and was twice wounded while carrying the hod?' of that officer off the field. From Manila he went with Ray to Alaska, where he resigned from the army and went into business. When seen yes- terday the captain said: “The object of the committee of which I am a member i¢ to see if it cannot pre- vail on Congress to do something to re- lieve_the present unwholesome condltion in Northern Alaska. The abuses there this summer have been some!hln% fearful and have ruined and blasted the hopes of thousands who would have made money had they been given anything like a fair how. *Nome, and in fact all Northern Alaska, is a mining community, and naturally it is the mining laws with which we are principally concerned. It would be too much to go Into all details, but the three great evils doing the most to hurt the e Territory are the power of attorney, claim jumping and the appointment of re- cefvers. It is against these we will prin- cipally work." ‘When questioned concerning receivers in general and McKenzie in particular, the captain became quite emphatic. “This McKenzie business,” he sald, “Is the greatest plece of wholesale rascality the world has known since the Panama Canal scandal. It is nothing more nor less than an attempt on the part of an organ- ized band of smooth freebooters to ac- quire every valuable clalm in the country through a corrupt Interpretation of the mining laws that govern them. The very possibility of there being any two sides to the controversy is laughable to any one acquainted with the matter. The manip- ulations of McKenzie and his_parasites have already cost the people of Nome and the merchants on this coast doing busi- ness with them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and unless they are legally stop- ped this winter Nome will see some ex- citing and disastrous times in the future. “The best way to understand the work upon which the committee is sent is by reading the resolutions which were adopt- ed by the meeting a,l which the committee was appointed, and to which ‘the commit- tee stands solemnly pledged. The resolutions of which the captain spoke are as follows: Whereas, Owing to the remoteness of thi section of Alaska from the centers of civiliza- tlon, pecullar conditions prevail whereby the laws applicable to Southeastern Alaska and the State of Oregon do not furnish the neces- sary means for the development of our re- sources. Resolved, That, therefore, a committes of three be elected ‘and chosen by the people of Nome In mass meeting assembled and requested to proceed at once to Washington and there to urge upon Congress the passage and en- actment of the following laws: 1. A change in the law of Incorporation for municipalities within the district whereby one- half of the license money now devoted to school purposes may be turned into the general fund of the municipality. 2. The establishment of an effective mall service between the States and the Northern part of Alaska. 3. The change or amendment of the mining laws of the District of Alaska, as follows: (a) A law making the location and segrega- tion of a mining claim a personal act and abolishing the power of attorney. (b) A law with reference to the necessary as- ssessment work, which will prevent the accu- mulation of a iarge number of claims in the hands of one individual. (c) The enactment of a‘law which will pre- vent the present unjust, indiscriminate and unwarranted jumping of claims. (4) The enactment of a law which Will pre- vent the appointment of recelvers to work placer mining claims. (¢) The enactment of a law whereby only cltizens, or those who have declared thelr in- tention to become such, may hold mining prop- erties within the District of Alaska.

Few people are aware that the empty seats In the orchestra of the Grand Opera- house last week were sold and paid for, but such is the case. When the sale opened last month a number of specu- lators bought season tickets wholesale. They secured seats located in the orches- tra for the entire season for $ a perform- ance. They figured It was a good In- vestment and that they could employ solicitors to dispose of the ticKets on thc street and sell them for the usual prics of $7 for one performance. Over one hundred seats in the best part of the house were sold In this way, and the speculators thought that they would earn a rich harvest. They were sadiy disappointed, as the San Francisco thea. ter-going public are very skeptical. The men who bought the seats employed sev- | eral men to stand in the Grand Opera- | house block and accost everybody that | looked like a grand opera patron, and at- tempt to sell the seats at a good margin. The scheme was.a dead failure. On the opening night of Melba tne solicitors of- fered their seats for seven, five and at last three dollars, and could not find pur- chasers.

It was a cool house last night at Moros- co's that came to hear “Romeo et Juli- ette” for the second time this season; a frigid house; ice to its finger tips and silent tongues. There was not a “bravo” in the crowd; heels might all have been rubber for what noise they made, and the palm music had as much warmth and depth as the thin clank of an icicle chime. The atmosphere made itself physically felt. Women drew thelr wraps about them, and across the footlights, where ap- plause is the breath of life, things lagged a little, too. Melba did not “get a hand" on her first appearance, and even the famous waltz-song. beautifully given as it _was, roused oniy a languid enthusi- asm. For one thing, it was a small house com- aratively, and the second time of hear- ng for the opera. which, in itself, for some or other reason, has never founa popularity here. “Romeo et Juliette™ certainly suffers by comparison with the master's immortal “Faust.” Written some twenty years afterward, it is vet reminiscent In many themes of the former work, yet lacking somewhat its facile charm and brilllant interest. But, be the not have “Romeo et Juliette rice, not even with Melba, Saleza, de eszke and Plancon in the ' magnificent cast, and she signified her sovereign pleas- ure in the matter quite unmistakably last evening.
