Mate O. B. Torgensen of the steamer shot and perhaps fatally with a 38-callber revolver, Manuel Costa, a deckhand employed on the boat.: Costa was acting in a quarrelsome manner ‘and Torgensen finally knockea him down and carried {him to the wharf. Costa, who is a | powerful man, attacked Warehouse Keeper J. Pedersen and knocked him down. He then went back to the steamer and tried to Secure a razor from a man who was shaving himseélf. Failing in this he picked up a large pair of scissors and started for Torgen- sen. The latter, after warning Costa, fired 1wo shots at him. took effect in Costa’s right arm near in ‘his left groin. The wound in the groin. is serious. Torgensen was placed under arrest. AVAGE PETS DRIVE 'HIM FROM HIS HOME Joe Nealon Leaps From a Window to Avoid an Al- coholic Menagerie. To avold an alcoholic menagerie, col- lected during a week's debauch, Joe Nealon, sailor, leaped, from a window at 3727 Broderick street early yesterday | morning. When the animals began to gather around him early in the week | Nealon thought he had them hypnotized, | for they gave him very little trouble. The blue elephant ate out of his hand and the little pink monkeys came when he whistled. The green butterfiles perched Nealon became quite attached to his pets. But vesterday morning the elcphant re- | tused to sit up in the corner and beg. | The monkeys did not wag thelr tafls | when he called to them and the Lutterfiies began to crow. There was iomething doing in the menagerie. When the blue elephant bega® to pack lup his clothing in his trunk Nealon S | naturally protested and the be'ist came |at him wild eyed. Nealon clitibed the | bedpost, but the monkeys took' the side of the elephant and pursued hm. The butterflies sank their sharp beaks into the back of his neck. So Nealon had to take to the window and he came down so hard on the lawn | that he broke his leg. He was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital, where he entreated the attendants to have the pound take his pets to the Osler works. — e o———— CAEDMON CLUE REHEARSES ROSSINI'S STABAT MATER First of a Series of Sacred Concerts ‘Wil] Take Place on Palm Sunday | Afternoon.

The first bali | the wrist and the second ball lodged | on his shoulder and cooed like doves. | | club was organized last Septekiber in | In this wonderful age of education and industry the lawmakers and the courts have learned that the young men of this country are no longer in- capable of transacting busginess with intelligence and dispatch. The public schools, the methods of teaching in business colleges, the rush, push and enterprise of the modern busi- ness world make the young man of eighteen years of age today better qualitied to transact ordinary business than the young man of twenty-five was years ago. For this reason, we find that the great railroad corporations are fixing an age limit in favor of the young man and against the old. We find that even in the public service, laws are being passed, weeding out the old men, and fixing places for the young, that wages are being graded upon the question of age, and that the young, active men have large salaries than the older men. We find that therefore the question of the rights, duties and responsibilities . of infants, particularly between 18 and 21 years of age, must change, with this change in the condition of infants. Therefore, in some of the States, par- ticularly California and North Dakota, infants have the power of adults, so far as the making of all kinds of con- tracts is concerned, between 18 and 21 vears of age. This has been done so that male in- fants between those ages may enter the business affairs of life, form part- nerships, buy and sell property, and do all other acts the same as adults. PRIVILEGES IMPORTANT. This is a new and important priv- ilege granted them. But, as under the common law, their contracts so made were tainted at all times with the dis- ability of infancy and were in many instances declared void by the courts, and in all instances held voidable and had to be affirmed by the infant upon coming of age, and as the infant could | receive the full benefit of his contract, | and yet without any reason disaffirm it, | and keep the consideration and cheat | and defraud the person with whom he dealt, and his dishonesty could not find redress In the courts, it requires ,that this new and extraordinary right and privilege granted male minors, between 18 and 21 years of age, of contracting as adults should not be used as a sword and the law has fixed his responsibility under his contracts the same as that of adults. Being allowed the privilege of an adult he is neld to the same re- sponsibility. Being permitted to con- tract as an adult, he must be held to the spirit and letter of his contract, the same as an adult. % The rules applying to the contracts of adults apply with equal force to the infant's contracts. Therefore the Cali- fornia and North Dakota codes provide that a minor may make any contract | the same as an adult, when over the | age of 18 and under the age of 21, ex- cept he cannot give a delegation of powér and th¥w2tb prevent him from actihg dishonestly and claiming his in- fancy to the injury of the person with whom he contracts, these laws provide: “If-the contract-be made by the minor whilst he is over the age of eighteen years, he may disaffirm it upon restor- ing the consideration to the party from whom it was received or paying its equivalent.” X It will thus be seen that, with the priv- | ilege of thus contracting, comes also the | duty and responsibility of being absolute- | ly honest, before he can disaffirm his con- | tract. He camnot keep the consideration of his contract, as at common law, and | at the same time repudiate it. It will | also be seen that these laws do not give him any right to remake his contract, but that the same rules of interpretation as to what ‘the contract is, what its burdens are, are the same as the contracts of adults. : The word ‘‘contract” has no new or dif- | ferent meaning, because made by an in- fant. He has simply the one right, that an adult has not, to-wit: he may disaf- firm, without any cause or reason—but the law nowhere releases him, by the fact of his disaffirmance, from the labilitles, duties or burdens imposed upon adults. Whatever damages are imposed upon adults, by reason of the breach of their contracts, is the same upon the minor. He has been given the privileges of an adult and he must bear the burdens of an adult. As an adult must be honest, he must be honest. He has all the rights of an adult in enforcing his contracts. He can compel performance, sue for dam- ages, maintain any action for the preser- vation of his rights that an adult can do, only he must sue through a guardian. He therefore is not injured in the least in being compelled to bear the burdens of his contract. INFANT HAS ADVANTAGE. If he has been wronged in any way, by reason of his contract, he has full re- dress in the remedies provided by law— the same as am adult, and he has one right that the adult has not, he can re- scind his contract by disaffirmance, but in so doing he must restore tht considera- tion he has received or pay Its equivalent. It will be observed that in the use of the words ‘“‘consideration” and ‘*equiva- lent” these statutes open Up a question for some discussion. At first glance one would suppose that what he must restore would be easy of comprehension, as if he had received a certain sum of money or a certain article of property, but suppose he has contracted for something, the con- sideration for which flowing to him is not money or property, as, for instance; suppose he has hired a music teacher for one vear, agreeing to pay him the sum of $1000 for the year's instruction, and after he had been taught for the period of six months without any cause he should dis- charge the teacher. He has the right to disaffirm his contract and thus discharge his instructor in music. The instructor has no right under such centract to his pay until the end of the year, the contract being entire. The damage.of the teacher, under the law of contracts, between adults, would be the. contract price, to-wit: $1000.-Now then, what must the infant pay, because as he cannot“restore the teacher's in- structions, he has the right to pay its | equivalent? But what sum is ihat? Is it six months’ tuition? If 30, then you permit the infant, by disafirmance, to change his written contract, from an ex- press contract, to an implied contract. But tha law says he may disaffirm the contract. What contract? Manifestly, the contract he made with his teacler, and that contract provided for $1000. But, you answer, he has not received a year's | instruction. True, but that is his own fault. He can have his year's instruction. If he chooses to disaffirm, having no grounds of disaffirmance, such as’ fraud, duress, menace, want of consideration, and the like, he simply commits a breach of his contract, the same as ai adult. While the law gives him the right to disaflirm, it has not said that' by such disaffirmance he shall be relieved of the damages the law fixed for breaking the contract. He must pay the equivalent of restoration, and if that equivalent be the contract price, he must pay the contract price, because he must restore the con- sideration, and that he cannot do, and YOUTHS ARE ADVANCING "IN BUSINESS WORLD. Old Men Are Rapidly Being Supplanted in Various Commercial Lines. LAW GIVING MINORS POWER 4 BENEFIT BY H. V. MOREHOUSE. therefore he stands in the shoes of an adult. The law has made him such. As he has assumed the rights of an adult, he must bear the burdens of an adult. He has made a contract. Whatever the burdens of that contract are, he must pay—before he can disaflim. That is, the burdens of the contract precede the rights of dis rmance. CANN/ CHANGE CONTRACT. He cannot change the contract, from an express to an implied contract, and then disaffrm, which he would be doing by paying or offering to pay, for only six months’ tuition. His contract is not six months' tuition, but one year's tuition. The law makes the consideration re- ceived, not six months, but one year— because he has chosen to make it one vear, the same as if an adult had broken his contract. He says, in effect, I do not want one year. 1 am satisfled with six months. 1 therefore will pay you for the six months what I should pay you for the one yvear. In other words he must do equity, the same as an adult. Therefore, when he disaffirms, the law assumes he has received the full benefits of the con- tract, the same as the law assumes of an adult, and if he wishes to disafiirm, he must pay the full contract price, and that is the consideration he has received. He chooses to make it so, and having made it so, he cannot take advantage of his own wrong, and impose an uncom- pensated injury upon his teacher, any more than an adult can. He has no reason to complain. The policy of the law is to hold him to his contract ‘and see that he is governed by the principles of honesty and fair deal- ing. These statutes are passed, not to give the infant an advantage over the adult, but to give him rights of contract he did not have before and to prevent him in the exercise of those rights from tak- ing advantage of his infancy in wronging in any manner the person with whom he contracts. The rule of the statutes abro- gates the common law. They endow him with manhood, not only with the power of contracting—but they exact from him the same principles of honesty and jus- tice that the law demands of all men. It starts him in life with the correct prin- ciples in business and surrounds him with the atmosphere of independence and de- stroys the weakening effect of the senti- mentality of the common law attaching to infancy. It also permits adults to deal with and contract with him without fear and with perfect confidence—knowing that he is held and bound to his contracts, Such laws are but the outgrowth of these modern times and are the awaken- ing spirit which is casting aside the cob- webs of past generations, that progress and toil and industry may reap an early reward among our young men. KUBELIK'S BOW HAS AN EFFECT THAT IS MAGIC Truly, from out the heart of the piné tree from which was bullt Kubelik's marvelous “Strad”” there was yesterday unlocked again from his wooden prison, in reality an Ariel. d where can be found so fit a Proupeg as this young Bo- hemian enchanter? At the touch' of his maglic bow that which Shakespeare por- trayed with words, and which other am- bitious ones have failed commendably in attempting to put before us on the stage, was here realized. The voice of the wind that sang to the rugged pine of the tyrol, centuries past, again breathed into being from thé violin the sprite that told its story of love and joy and sunshine. Cold indeed is he who does not speedily capitulate before the spell of this young wizard. Such glistening staccat! and evenness of velvety tone, mingled with such a warmth, have not been heard here since Kocian, that other wonder pupil of the great Sevcik, the master who seems to have discoverad a royal rapid road to the violin goal. And as for dynamics, a tone seems to start somewhere in the immeasurable solitude and grow until, as was sald of Tschiakowsky, ‘Le ap- pears to squeeze the fiddle like a lemon to get the last drop of tone from it. The introductory number was the fa- vorite Tartini’s “Devil's Trill.” It was superbly rendered throughout, with its technical difficulties in appoggiatura, oc- tave passages, and trill, being studiously perfect. Schubert's “Ave Maria” was glven as an encore. Flamed by the Kubelik spark, the fiery spontaneity of Wienlawski simply glowed in the great “D Minor Concert.” There was remarkable purity in the sonorous G string passages, glissando chromatic on the D string, and octave climaxes. The Zingara movement, with its shimmering spiccato, was a flery and wild interpreta- tion of the Gypsy spirit, giving way at times to a melancholy cantilene, and was taken at an enormous tempo. Great ap- plause was rewarded by a “Berceuse" of Nesvadba, played with the mute. The applause continued after the encore, but met with no response from the tired art- ist. Next came the Paganini “Witches Dance” with its downward staccato, left hand pizzicatti, artificial harmonic runs, harmonic double stops, and all played with a witchery indeed. The last violin number was an arrangement of “Perpet- ual Motion,” the Weber, plano solo, which was delightful in its rhythmic spiccatu, and which was followed by Sarasate’s “Spanish Dance No. § as an encore. Ludwig Schwab accompanied, as usual and Miss Agnes Gardner-Eyre played ac- ceptably a ‘“‘Scherzo” by Brahms, a “Ga- votte”” by Saint-Saens, “Des Abends” by Schumann, “Zug der Zwerge” by Grieg and for an encore a ‘‘Romance” by Green- feld. 3 Kubelik left for Los Angeles in his pri- vate car last night, but he will return and play at the Tivoli twice more—at a matinee April 8 and on the evening of April 9. Moyer-Haywood Protest Meeting. Franklin Jordan, Jack London and Georgo Speed are among the speakers already selected to address the mass meoting of protest against the prosecu- tion of Moyer and Haywood, officials of the Weste: Federation of Miners. charged with complicity in the plot to Kkill Goverfior Steunenberg of Tdaho. At the meeting of the joint labor commit- tee yesterday it was decided to hold the mass gathering at Woodward's Pavil- jon at 2 p. m. Sunday, April 8. Besides the orators named, representative speakers from the Labor Council, Bullding Trades Council and the City Front Federation will deliver addresses. Nearly all the leading unions of the city were represented at the committee meeting. zc ‘was reported that generous response being made to the call for funds with which to defend Moyer and Haywood.

SEARCHLIGHT, Nev., March 25.— Filled with firewater, three In- dians who own valuable mining claims in the mountains began quarreling this morning. When the shooting was over one of the Indians was minus a hand, another, sorely wound- ed in the stomach was, crawling toward his mountain domicile and the third was in jail. The shooting occurred at the tent of “Jim” Monaghan, a full-blooded | Piute. Monaghan started the fight and he is the only one of thé three who escaped injury. His squaw, Mary Shixee, tried to take a hand in the affray when the officers appeared, but after a flerce struggle she was subdued. The names of the wounded men are Captain Mullen and *“Joe” Babbon. They paid a visit to Monaghan's tent and en- deavored to get famillar with the lat- ter's squaw. Monaghan grabbed his rifle, shot Mullen in the stomach and fired at Babbon. The bullet intended for Babbon went wild and then the latter got busy ‘with his gun. His first and only shot plerced his own wrist, his weapon ex- ploding when he pailled the trigger. Later the hand was amputated, the Indian standing the operation without chlore- form. ‘When Mullen was wounded he dropped | to the ground and began crawling toward the brush. In the excitement his departure was not noticed and it was not until Monaghan had been arrested that a search was made for the wounded man. Men are still following the bloody trail left by the wounded redskin as he crawled toward the mountains. ROBBERS STEAL CASH RECISTER They Pay Early Morning Visit to Santa Rosa Hotel and Carry Off Coin Holder Special Dispateh to The Call SANTA ROSA, March 2.—While the night clerk of the Grand Hotel was in the rear of that hostelry at 4 o'clock this morning starting the fires in the ranges, sneak thieves entered the front door and made way with the cash register. The machine, a heavy affair, was kept on the front counter, and was within view of the street at all times. If was a heavy affair and could not have been carried by one man. It contained $20 and some small change. The absence of the register was discov- ered by the night clerk shortly after he returned to the cffice, and he immediate- Iy notified Chief of Police Severson. An investigation was made at once and just after daylight the register was found in tbe rear of a small shack on Second | street. It had been opened by means of tlie combination, " but the department | which contained the gold had beén | broken open with a chisel.
