Legality of Voting Can- didates’ Name Twice Is in Question, Thomas D. Riordan Insists Ballots So Marked Are Not Valid. | A matter of great interest to the voters | of this city will be argued at 9 o'clock | this morning before the Board of Elec- tion Commissioners. The question to be | decided is whether a ballot shall be | thrown out or counted when the cross is stamped twice for the same candidate, { the name appearing twice on the official | ballot under the heading of different par- The matter was brought up by friends | of E. J. Liverrash, Democratic and Labor candicate for Congress in the Fourth Dis- triet. - Mr. Livernash’s name appears | first on the Dempcratic ticket in the of- | ficial ballot 2nd then again on a line al- most horizontally to the right, where the | | Labor party's ticket begins. It was seen | that the ordinarily careless voter, after | stamping the cross opposite the name in the Democratic ticket, would be likely to place a cross opposite-the same name in the Labor ticket. Registrar Walsh was served yesterday with several authorities on the matter. | The first is the case of Swain vs. Pease, |42 P 750, a Wyoming case. Mrs. | | Swain's name as candidate for County ;School Superintendent was printed twice on the same officlal ballot, once on the | Democratic ticket and once on the Peo- l).](-'s party ticket. In that case the court case, under the condi- d, and as alleged in | reason alone of the additional be statute. The case of Ellis vs. Glaser, 51 N. W. | Rep., 648, of Michigan,is on all fours. The court at first held that such ballots were | to be deemed invalid upon the ground that The crosses so placed constituted dis- inguishing marks. Upon a rehearing this ruling was reversed, largely upon ground that voters had probably acted in reliance upon ceetain opinions of the \ttorney General, which had been pub- | hed for their instruction. Thomas D. Riordan, who will appear befo the Election Board this morning on behalf of the Republicans, said yester- day: cross, a distinguishing mark, re- quiring them to be entirely rejected, would be doing great injustice the voters, who | may have so marked their ballots honestly and | with the Dest intentions, as well as violence to | | toted for Registrar Walsh are different statutes from that of Califor, The Supreme Court of this State, | | When it ordered the names to be placed under both party designatios practically _ ignored | the decisions of the other States.

It is the same as if you voted for two rival candidates for the same office. In the case of Farnham vs. Boland the court | held that the cross must be placed opposite the name but once, no matter how often that name appears on the ballot yCONVIC’.[‘ PREACHER ON- Joseph King Faces a Jury in Judge Lawlor’s Court on First Charge. i The trial of Joseph King, the convict | preacher, on a charge of burglary was | commenced before a jury in Judge Law- |lor's court yesterday.

BUSH STREET. mpp—————r 4 RENZIED at the sight of his aged mother lying on the floor uncon- scious from the effects of having a shockingly brutal manner -by Otto Hellwig, a burly bartender, Robert Hillen grabbed a revolver and after a struggle succeeded in killing the old wom- an’s assailant. The shocking tragedy oc- curred shortly after noontime yesterday just outside of the front door of the fam- ily liquor store and saloon at i301 Devisa- dero street, of which Mrs. A. A. Hillen, the woman whom Hellwig assaulted, is the proprietress. Hellwig was employed as a bartender by Mrs. Hillen. The son who did the shooting is the manager of the place. Hellwig attacked Mrs. Hillen in the bar- room while he was in a drunken frenzy, | and before her son Robert could stop him succeeded in blackening one of her eves, breaking a rib and inflicting sev- eral ugly bites on her arms and hands. Hellwig, who had been employed by | Mrs. Hillen for the last five years, was given to heavy drinking at times. He was intoxicated yesterday morning when he opened the place, and when Mrs. Hil- !len. who lives upstairs, came down. she | scolded him for reporting for work in | such a condition. Hellwig ‘resented the scolding Mrs. Hillen gave him and warm words ensued. Later young Hillen came into the place to report for duty and got into an alter- cation with Hellwig over the latter’s con- | cition, which led to the brutal beating of Hillen’s mother and the shooting of Hell. ;. The details are best told in the statement which Hillen made to Chief of Detectives Martin last night. It is as follows: When I came in from lunch I noticed that Hellwig had been drinking. He was only Palf dressed and I asked him to put his collar on. My mother whistled down the talking tube to me not to go out this afternoon as Otto had said he would quit. I tried to talk him into staying, but to no ayail. I went to the tube and told my mother that Otto was going. She came down stairs. Otto was making a terrific racket, throwning things around his room, crying out and swearing. I went to his door and told him to stop nis noise or I would break the door in. He wouldn't do it, so I broke in the panels of the door and reached for the key, but he had taken it out and was standing on & chair looking over the panel and laughing at me.. 1 went to the telephone and phoned for a policeman to the O'Farrell-street station. Otto was still making a big racket. I went to the door to look for a policeman, and when I returned he had gone into the closet of his room. I cried to my mother not to let him £o until the police came. When I again went to the front door he was climbing out of the window into the street with nothing on ex- cept his pants and shirt As soon as he saw me he made a rush at me. I ran in the side door and tried to lock it, but he got there before 1 could do it. He came in and sald that the room belonged to him and that he could do as he —— pleased. 1 then went be- hind the bar to take chafge. as he was in no fit condition. When bhe started to come behind the bar I warned him that he had no business there, He retorted that he'd see about that, and grabbed a_bottle and struck at me. My mother got the bottle from him andI tried to throw, him to the floor, but was unsuccessful, as 1 was nearly exhausted. He then seized a beer mallet and attempted to use it. In:the scuffle, in which we relieved him of the mallet, he bit one of my fingers. During this part of Seeks Arrest of Drug Clerks. H. J. Finger, president of the State Board of Pharmacy, secured warrants from Judge Mogan yesterday for the ar- rest of B. Meyers, Ninth avenue and H street, and 'W. ‘B. Jamieson,' 2712 Howard street, on charges of selling carbolic acid without being resistered pharmacists. He also secured two warrants for the ar- rest of “John 'Doe” Samuels, clerk in a drug store at Ninth and Howard streets, for selling laudanum without being a reg- istered pharmacist and for not register- ing the sale in a book as required by law. B — Peddlers’ Test Case.

He then went to the drawer where my pistol was and opened it but I ran and got it aheads of him, put it in my pocket and ran out with bim after me. My mother followed behind us, When he- saw that he could mot catch me he turned on my mother and brutally kicked her, punched her and bit her, until she fell to the floor. I drew out the pistol after a vain at- tempt to get him to desist, and said, ‘‘Otto, | you.” He came at me with a viclous rush and We grappled, fighting from the sidewalk into the street. I had the gun in my hand and hd was struggling violently to obtain posses- sion of it. During the battle the pistol went off twice and he let go of me and started to walk to the saloon, but fell just as he reached the door. I picked my mother up, assisted her into the saloon and went back and helped -to carry Hellwig in the saloon, 2 Otto R. Hellwig worked for my mother for the last six years and received $30 a month with his board and lodging. He often got drunk and offensive. He was 21 vears of age, while I am but 18, CARRY BODY INSIDE. Before the police arrived Bert Walsh and John Duran, two neighboring busi- ness men, reached the scene.

Policemen Dalton, Cullinan, Good- win and Carroll, who were attracted to the nelghborhood by the ‘shooting, took Hillen in charge and ' telephoned for a physician . to attend ~Mrs. Hillen. The Corgner_was.notified. At the O'Farrell street station, where Hillen was first taken, he made a ram- bling statement about the shooting. Later upon being removed to the Hall of Jus- tice, he gave Chief of Detectives Martin a long written statement of the facts leading up to the killing. Dr. Shumate, who was called to attend Mrs. Hillen, says she is seriously injured. She is about 55 years of age, and it is feared the shock, together with her se- vere injuries, may result fatally.” Mrs. | Hillen could not make a statement for some hours after the shooting, and when. she did it was so obviously at varjance‘ with the known facts and circumstances surrounding: the case that Detective ‘Wren, who has charge of the case, is not inclined to believe the aged woman saw anything after Hellwig struck her with his fists for the first time. After: being booked at the Hall of Jus- tice upon a charge of murder Hillen was taken to the Central Emergency Hos- pital to have one of his thumbs dressed and - cauterized, Hellwig having bitten him in the death struggle. | E L4 HIGHEST BIDDER BETS FRANGHISE Supervisors Order Sale of Burglar Alarm Privilege.

Court Findings May Aff:ct Important Cases Pending. The Bank of California encountered its first obstacle terday in its efforts to prove that the city had no right to assess its franchise for more than $10,000 and in- cidentally to recover from the city treas- ury the sum of $12,157 76, which the cor- poration had paid as taxes, The obstacle was in the nature of an adverse decision from Judge Sloss. The court held that the franchise was properly assessed and that the money paid as taxes could not be recovered. The decision does not affect the hun- pending before the courts. It has, how- ever, a direct bearing on the cases of the Pacific States Telephone Company and the Wells Fargo Company Bank. These corporations not only objected to the as- sessment placed on their franchises by Assessor Dodge, but absolutely refused to pay their taxes. They sued out a writ of injunction in the United States Courts prohibiting the Tax Collector from col- lecting taxes from them. In view of the decision rendered by Sloss, the City At- torney will now in all probability com= mence proceedings to have the injunc- fon dissoived. The franchise of the/Bank of California was assessed by Dodge in 1900 at §750,000 and the tax on this amount aggregated $12157 7.
