Wheeler, ex-Judge | Wiliiam T. Wallace and Barclay Henley 1snugln yvesterday by means of various | shades and degrees ofereasoning to con- vince Superior Judge Murasky that Ste- | phen V. Costello now stands in the eye | of the law as the legally elected candidate | for the office of Superior Judge, in the | stead and place of either Judge Willlam | R. Daingerfield or Judge Thomas F. Gra- | ham. Wheeier did the arguing on behalf | of Costello, Judge Wallace lent strength to the same with his venerable presence | and Henley looked as mad as though op- | positicn to the motion was worthy of | naught but his contempt. On the other side Judge Graham coun- geled with Attorneys Riordan and Lande, who aidn't ‘follow lines of reasoning to their ultimate conclusion,” as did Whee- ler, but argued what they called *‘common Judge Murasky was evidently now very thoroughly impressed with either the “‘ultimate conclusions’” or the “common sense,” for it wasn't late in the day when he ordered the matter sub- mitted and went to his chambers in search of law, or in its absence for a few “ireatisés on justice” by learned jurists | on conditions of fact, though hardly par- Lallel and as fully tangled volved in the case at bar. Costello_relles upon section 23 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which provides that at the end of the hearing of a contest of election the court must declare erson receiving the highest number of votes elected. As Costello was not a party to the contest between Dalngerfleld and Graham, ballots upon which he was oted for, ¢ contained a as those in- tinguishing mark or were _otherwise lid, were not thrown out. Many hun- of ballots were thrown ont against both Daingerfield and Graham, with the result that at the end of the recount Cos- tello was credited with. more votes, ac- cording to the figures of the Election Comm than either Daingerfield or G -cording to the court record. Counsél for Costello claim that Dainger- field's act in crediting Costello with e number allowed him by the Election Com- mission in his pleadings, and as evidence established the accuracy of the number of votes credited to him in the pleadings, makes it prima-facie evidence of the fact that such legal number of votes are now credited to Costello. Continuing on this Hne Costello holds that as the records o urt show that both Daingerfield and m have a smaller number of legal it is now too late for either of them estion the legality of the numbe: to ai credited to him and preclude him from the right to the office by amending the pleadings and crediting him with a smaller number of votes than the incumbent, Gra- ham. Mr. Wheeler also contended that even though I were given the right to amend their pleadings neither Dainger- d’s nor Costello’s counsel could accu- pdte the number of votes v d_ have legally been allowed Costello, “and,” said Wheeler, ‘‘we assert that even though this was done that Cos- tello would still have a handsomeé ma- jority, a faithful tally of the records Jisclosed. Judge Murasky asked Mr. Wheeler what was to be done in the case at bar when the contest had been abandoned before | the recount was complete, nineteen pre- cinets “yet remaining to be recounted. Wheeler answered. that the court must take the number of votes credited to each candidate by _the Election Commission from the uncounted precincts as prima facie evidence that the numbers - were correct and add them to the corrected on the court record, which, he said, would give Costello the office by u handsome majfority. Wheeler further contended that the contest could not be abandoned after having been taken up for hearing by the court to the exclusion | of the right of his client to demand his right under the code. Graham’s counsel pointed to what they termed “fatal defects” in the theory of the other side and quoted a portion of 1122 of the Code of Civil Pro- pport of their position. This section prov! Jes that the court must be governed in the trial of contests by the rules of law and evidence governing the determination of questions of' law or fact. Rules of law, they say, give either side the right to amend their pleadin frequently against the objection of the other side, and always when the other side consents. Daingerfield’s counsel made the motion for leave to amend, it is pointed out, and Graham's counsel con- sented. Now Costello, whom they refer- red to as an interloper, comes into court 2nd asks that they be denied the right to adhere to the usual forms of pleading and practice and the rules of law. If one candidate can do this, they conclude that 1l candidates could do the same, which would result in endless confusion. After being thus informed Judge Mu- rasky took the case under advisement to counsel that they might expect an early dec on. CHILDREN REPUDIATE THEIR FATHER'S CLAIM Motion to Declare Nonsuit Against Veluceviclhr Has Been Taken Under Advisement. Marco Velucevich, a pioneer and once a prosperous commission merchant of this city, but now in destitute circumstances, has brought snit for maintenance against his son, John C., and his daughter, Eleanor Velucevich. When the action came up for hearing vesterday In Judge Graham's court and after the testimony of Velucevich had been heard, the attorney for the defendants moved for a nonsuit, on the ground that a parent cannot main. tain a suit against his children for sup- port. The case was taken under advise- ment until Tuesday. Velucevich alleges in his complaint that shortly after the death of his wife. five years ago, he was induced Ry his children to deed them his property, estimated to be worth $25,000. This transaction, it is alleged, was made on the agreement that the parent should be uuprnrlad by his children, According to Velucevich's tes- | timony, as soon as the children secured complete possession of the property they no_longer recognized his claims. He was reduced, he says, to the necessity of de- pending on friends for clothing and sup- port. ——t———— To-Day’s News Letter.

As a remedy he suggested regular daily medi- cal inspection of each pupil, by which means every eiling one could be weeded out and sent to a hospital or home be- fore the contaglon had time to spread. any women were in Dr. Cheney's audi- ce and his words created, a sensation among them. The speaker, while making no_direct reflection on the San Francisco public schools, contrasted them with those in the East, in which the hygiene of the scholars s gn essential feature, The lecture was one of the series of bi- weekly Lane lectures, and the subject was, “How to Prevent Didease in Chil- dren. The speaker divided his subject into three divisions—heredity, children's surroundings and improper food—making valuable suggesuons for radical reform in all these. Heredity was sald by the lecturer to be a fertile cause of sickness in children, and he saw no way out of this difficulty but the regulation of marriages. Regular hours, regular. food and sanitary sur- roundings are Dr. Cheney’s secondary de- sirerata for the rearing of- healthy chil- dren, but his most original observation, and one which made a visible sensation, was that no attempt should be made to train the mind of any child under 10 years of age. Till that age, accerdlng to the speaker, the juvenile mind should lle fal- low. There is tco much of cramming in the modern scheme of education, was his ctum.
