What this article was is Kept a secret, but it is said to have the com- pany that they had a magnificent invest- ment for their money. The result was that coin was raised to continue the in- vestigation and to provide for the raising of_the hull into shallower water. By the terms of its contract with the interested insurance corporations the wrecking company is to receive from 70 to 75 per cent of all that is recovered from the wreck. The cargo consists of block tin_worth $75000, raw silk worth ,000, $35,000 in gold coin in registered mail bags and $40,000 worth of machinery. There are other valuables in the wreck worth about $100,000 more. Insurance Men Skeptical, Inquiry among . the insurance com- panies yesterday developed that the agents are not wildly enthusiastic over the outlook. Scarcely an agent could be found who put any faith in the stories of the finding of the wreck. Indeed, all without exception expressed the belief that the wreck would never be found, and were it to be the discovery would be valueless for the reason that it lies at a depth too great to permit divers to op- erate. This view is entertained by Vice President Jacob B. Levison of the Fire- man's Insurance Company, chairman of the committee of the underwriters which conducted the negotiations for the re- covery and raising of the hull of the Rio. The Pacific Mail officials regard with some skepticism the reports of the find- ing of the hull. They asserted yesterday that as far as the company was con- cerned they knew no more about the lo- cation of the wreck than on the day the disaster occurred. They * expressed the hope that the vessel would one day be found, and that when found some practi- cal method of removing valuables there- from ,would be. advanced. On -the other hand, the officlals of the wrecking company. claim that thelr story about finding the' wreck is no dream. They assert they have absolute proof of discovery and that the only difficulty con- fronting them is the slewing of the hull into shallower water. They admit the wreck cannot be worked by the divers in her present location, but this will be overcome by means of pontoons. At the present time the location of the wreck fs marked by a buoy twenty-five feet under water.

A pretty romance is connected with the | marriage of the old people. Many years | ago Glaize wooed and won Miss L’Anee, | but she refused to leave an _invalid mother. The lovers parted and Glaize some time afterward wedded another. His wife died and fate led him and his first love to the home for old people.

The Supreme Court rendered a decision yesterday ' which practically invalidates the State lunacy law passed in 1897. The ground for this action is that the statute in question makes it possible for a per- son to be deprived of his liberty without being given an opportunity to answer the charges against him. Habeas corpus proceedings were insti- tuted by W. H. Lambert, who is confined in the Napa State Hospital for the In- sane. He alleges that a ‘‘friend” peti- tioned that he be sent to an asylum; that two physicians declared he was non coms ggs mentis and that Judge Buckles of lano County ordered his commitment. The first that he heard of what was go- ing on was when the Sheriff placed him under arrest and took him to the hospital. The court decided that any one eise might be “railroaded” to an asylum with- out a hearing, and that therefore the law is unconstitutional in that it deprives one of his liberty without due process of law. It is a primary principle of the United States Government that a person must be heard before he is imprisoned. The State lunacy law became a part of the statutes March 31, 1897. It provides that an application for a commitment to an insane asylum must. be made by a rel- ative, friend or qualified official. The application must be attended by a certifi- cate of lunacy signed by two physicians who are authorized medical examine: The Judge must then consider the cas: and may commit the person charged with insanity. The number of physicians who may be- come medical examiners is unlimited. Their testimony is not given under oath, nor do they administer oaths to witnesses. A person is allowed to continue hunting medical examiners until he finds two of them who will issue a certificate of lu- nacy. The court declares that under these conditions any one may be sent to an insane asylum. In reference to Justice Harrison, ion, says: The constitutional guaranty that a man shall not be deprived of his liberty without due process of law is violated whenever any such judgment is had without §'ving him an op- portunity to be heard in defense of the charge. It is not enough that he may know by chance that he is being tried on a charge of insanity; the law must require that notice to that effect be_ given. In closing, the opinion reads as follows: Under the foregoing considerations it must be held that the insanity law of 1897, to tha extent that it authorizes the confinement of a person in an insane asylum without giving him due notice and an opportunity to be heard upon the charges against him, is unconstitu- tional and that the proceedings by virtue of which the petitioner is held by the respondent are invalid. The court then orders the release of Lambert. Justices Henshaw, Temple and Chief Justice Beatty concur with Justice Harrison. Justice Garoutte writes dissenting opinion: As I read the foregoing opinion it renders entircly void the present lunacy law. It is hardly necessary to say that such grave re- sults should be avoided if possible and that no technical construction of this law should te invoked which leads to such serious conse- quences. I believe a fair liberal construction of the law may be had which will support its constitutionality, and for that reason I dissent from the opinion of the court bearing upon that branch of the case. the case in question who writes the opin- the following “For Christmas 00 This is a special- ly good offer— else we would not make it.

OIL CASE MAY- BE REOPENED Railroad Attorneys Not Satisfled With the Result. The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe Ralflway companies are not pleased with the decision of the Railroad Commission- ers in the oil case. The attorneys in the law departments are very guarded in dis- cussing the case, but from their tome it is very evident that the result Was not to their liking. What steps they will take in the mat- ter they have not yet decided upon, but from the present outlook it points to the fact that they will bring the matter before he Superior Court in this city and county under injunction proceedings. A prominent attorney of the Southern | Pacific Company, on beéing interviewed in | | regard to the subject, said: How do we like the decision? Well, we don’ want to talk about it just at present. We are not satisfied with it, ‘but just at present we are thinking the matter over and have not de- cided what steps we shall take about the case. The only legal step we can take will be to bring injunction proceedings in the Superior Court in’this city and county, but don't quote me as saying that we shail do this, as we have the matter under advisement and have not _decided whether we shall take legal steps or not. Attorney Short of Fresno, who con- ducted the case for the oil men of Kern County, is jubilant over the decision. The Railroad Commissioners made little changes in the rates for the transporta- tion of oil from the Kern district to this | city, but, on the other hand, the spur charges, over which such a mighty pro- test was made, have been cut in half. The question as to whether the railroad companies will take the matter into the Superior Court is arousing much inter- est. Should they take further legal ac- tion the case will not be settled for sev- eral months and perhaps years. If, in the meantime, they secure an injunction re- storing the charges to the original figure, they will be well satisfied. Dismissal of Policemen. City Attorney Lane advised the Police Commission yesterday that the members of the Police Department who came ‘in under the charter are subject to and protected by the tprflv‘lons of the civil service chapter of that instrument, but that the Police Commissioners have authority to dismiss members of the Po- lice Department without the approval of the Civil Service Commissioners, inas- much as the charter provides a special and extraordinary method governing dis- missals within the Police Department, with which the Civil Service Commission has no concern. —_— A Word to the People.
