The closest friends of the ex-Governor assert that he not a candidate for another term, but nevertheless he would not get out of the way of the nomination if he saw it com- ing down the pike.

Some | significance is attached to the fact that Senator Savage was recently appointed to the executive committee of the California e of Republican Clubs and will have | i in arranging for the Santa Cruz tion. There is something doing in the Thirty- venth and Thirty-eighth Assembly of San Franeisco.

Rasmussen on October 15, 1904. A demurrer had been filed by Bert Schles- |inger and Samuel M, Shortridge, attorneys | for Raisch, raising the point that section 5424 of the United States Revised Statutes makes the selling of such fraudulent cer- tificates a crime only when the person selling it is an applicant for citizenship or a witness for such applicant, Raisch being neither. The following is a conden- sation of the section: Every person applying to be admitted a citizen” or appearing as a witness for any such persos * * * Wwho makes, forges or counterfeits any oath, notice, atfidavit, cer- uficate, order, record, signature * ¢ * relat- ing to the naturalization of allens, or who | utters, sells or disposes of to any person other than the person for whom it was orlginally issued any certificate * * ¢ showing any person to be admitted a citizen shall be punished by Imprisonment at hard labor not less than one year or more than five years, or by a fine of not less than $300 nor more than $1000, or by both such fine and im- prisonment Judge de Haven overruled the demurrer in an elaborate opinion. It is well settled, the opinion goes on to say, that In the expositfon of a statute | every word must, if possible, be given some force; that the general intention of | the Legislature is to be gathered from all | its parts and a consideration of its reason and object; that such ‘intention, when thus ascertained, will prevall over its lit- eral terms, and the law is, if possible, to be given such a construction as will effect the general purpose for which it was en- acted. After quoting several authorities the opinion proceeds in substance as fol- lows: With these fundamental ‘canons of interpre- tation in mind the section should be so con- strued as to make the forging of a certificate of maturalization, or the uttering, selling or disposing of a false or forged certificate of naturalization, a crime, no matter by whom or when committed. It first provides: “Every person applying to be admitted & citizen or appearing as a witness for any such per- son, who knowingly personates any other per- son than himself or falsely appears in the name of a deceased person or in an assumed or fictitious name ¢ * * shall be punished,” etc. These are acts which can be done only in the face of a court in a proceeding for paturalization and by the applicant or the witness who appears for him. The sentence 1s therefore nécessarily and properly limited in its application to the actors in such pro- ceeding: but the clause, ‘“‘or falsely makes, forges or counterfeits any oath, notice, affi- davit, certificate, order, record, other instrument, paper or ‘procéeding required or authorized by any law’ for the maturaliza- tion of allens, extends to acts which, from their nature, may be committed at a time or upon an occasion other than In & pro- ceeding for naturalization and by other per< sons ms weil as by the applicant for naturalizar tion and his witness. The act of forging the papers and records referred to is precisely the same whether committed person or by another, or at one time or an other, and this being o, it is mot to be sup- posed that Congress intended to provide that such forgeries should be punished as crimes only when committed by a person applying for naturalization or his witness. The sense of the statute is made to appear by treating this particular clause as part of a sentence having for subject the words “any per- son.” This subject is not expressed, and It ntay be admitted that under the strict rules of eyntax the subject of the preceding sen- tence ‘‘every person applying to be admitted | a citizen, or appearing as a witness for such person” would be understood as its subject, still the court s notérequired so to read it, when to do §0 Would be to defeat what very clearly appears to be the spirit and object of the statute, viz: to make it an offense for any person to forge papers or records au- thorized or required by the naturalization laws. The sentence as written is elliptical, and in opder fully to express the legislative intent the words evidently omitted by way of ellipsis may be supplied, and when this is done the sentence will be construed as if it were writ- ten “or any person who forges'’ etc. Thus read, the succeeding clauses of the section will ‘grammatically refer to the same Implied subject “‘any person,” thereby declaring it to be an offense for any person to commit any of the acts therein described. The opinion applies also to the case of Frank Johnson, indicted for a similar of- fense. ORDERS LAYING OF GAS AND WATER MAINS Street Committee Takes Steps for the Improvement of Cortland Avenue. The Supervisors’ street committee has ordered letters sent to the gas and water companies directing them to lay gas and water malng In Cortland avenue, between Folsom and Mission streets, The committee recommended the pas- sage of an ordinance fixing the limits of a district within which it will be lawful to lay wooden sidewalks. The district includes that portion of the city near the water front which is on made ground, causing stone sidewalks to dis- integrate. The Pelton Water Wheel Company submitted amended plans for its spur track recently lald on a Sunday by the Southern Pacific Company on Harrison street, between Eighteenth and Nine- teenth. The Hagle Brewing Company protested against the track. Actlon was deferred. The committee overruled the protest of the Board of Works against grant- ing a permit to Catherine Murray to blast for grading purposes in the rear of 408 Broadway. A letter was ordered sent requesting the United Railroads to hurry the placing of rails on West Mission street, so the street work can be completed. The City Engineer was asked for an opinion as to whether Twenty-sixth street, between Vermont and Kansas, is an open public street. To the Board of Works was referred the complaint of 8. F. Lord of delay in the paving of Baker street, betwéen Fell and Oak. ! ——————————— REMARKABLE PAINTING ON GLASS ARRIVES FROM ITALY Deft Artist Whose Theme Is “Immor- tality” Presents a Most Realls.

M. Johnson MUST AWAIT HEARING Meeting of Iroquois Club Is Marked by Four Members Walking Out of “the Hall The squabble among the members of the Iroquois Club over the alleged illegal election of Albert M. Johnson to the presidency . at the close of the meeting held on Tuesday evening, March 2, cul- of a complaint asking the Superior Court to prevent Johnson from taking his seat, to forbid the reading of the minutes of the last meeting after it was declared adjourned by Vice President Barendt, and petitioning that the defendants be restrained from interfering with the con- duct of meetings by Charles Edelman or A. H. Barendt. The injunction was not granted, but on next Friday morning both sides are to appear before Judge Hunt. The complaint states that the meeting held after the Barendt adjournment on March 2 was unlawful, and that Johnson's election was consequently unlawful; that the acts of the defendants were the result of a willful and corrupt. conspiracy to gain possession of the club’s property, and that these ,defendants intended to control the actions of last night's meet- ing. The action is brought in the name of the Iroquois Club and signed by Daniel O’Connell ag attorney. The affidavit of A. H. Barendt iIs attached. The defend- ants named in the complaint are Albert M. Johngon, E. R. Zion, H. Davis, R. Shepston, H. L. Bienfleld, Willlam Bgan, J. D. Cliffora, John Doe, Willlam Roe, ete. The open split took place as soon as the meeting of the Iroquois Club was begun at B'nai B'rith Hall last night. Vice President Barendt was there with his supporters, Danlel O’Connell, M. C. Hassett and Charles Gildea. Early in the evening Second Vice President Davis arrived and held down the great presiding chair. At 8:15 Vice President Barendt stepped briskly up to Davis and said, “Mr. Davis, as first vice president I ask the chair.” JOHNSON GETS (CHAIR. The reply was quick. “Mr. Barendt, Mr, Johnsan is president of this club and he is present.” “Do you refuse to give me the chair?” “I do.” “Then I will call the meeting to order and Barendt stepped to the plat- “I move we adjourn,” cried O’'Connell. “Second,” said Hassett. ~*‘Meeting adjourned,” declared Barendt, and with Hassett and O'Connell he marched out of the hall. Gildea followed a few minutes later. Johnson took the chair and called the remaining members to order. The min- utes of the meeting held after Barendt declared an adjournment on March 2 were read as the regular minutes of that meeting and ‘approved as.such. Various members present scored the action of the four members who had left the hall. CONBPEMN INJUNCTION SEEKERS. Finally a_ resolution condemning the @oction of those who sought to secure the injunction was passed. It read as follows: Resolved, That the action commenced in the Superfor Court of this city and county n the name of the Iroquots Club (a corporation) by Dantel O'Connell as attorney for the plaintiff and verified by Arthur H. Barendt, Is wholly unauthorized by the Iroquois Club or by its board of trustees; and the Iroquols Club has nefther by motion,” resolution nor any other act authorized any person or persons to commence any action at law in its name.

The dispute is over a desire to control by the faction known as “Old Squaws,” headed by Barendt, and the faction known as the “City Hall Push,” headed by several members holding positions in the Assessor’s, City Attorney's and County Clerk’'s offices. ————————— APPROVES PLANS FOR THE COLLEGE HILL VIADUCT Board of Works Orders Bids for Sewers in Seventh Street and China Avenze.
