Henry Plirrman of Iios Angeles was released on a writ of habeas corpus lust week by the jourt. The case Li one which has creeled considerable interest, especially among those who are interested in county licenses.

to make payment, and was finally imprisoned by tho county authorities on June 27. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed with the superior court and was denied. Pfirrmann then appealed to the supreme court. The state law in question, which was passed at the last session of the legislature, is in part as follows: "Boards of supervisors of tho counties of the state, and the legislative bodies of the incorporated cities and towns therein, shall, in the exercise of their police powers, and fgr the purpose of regulation as herein provided, and not otherwise, have power to license all and every kind of business not prohibited by law, and transacted and carried on within the limits of their respective jurisdictions, and all shows, exhibitions and lawful games carried on therein, to fix the license rates of tax upon the same and to provide for the collection of the same by suit or otherwise." The legislative enactment states that the licensing power shall be used "for purpose or regulation, and not otherwise." Hence Pfirrmann claims that the county has no right to impose a license on the same business, for which he has already paid all that the law requires to the city. The supreme court admits the plea and gives the Los Angeles county authorities one week in which to show that the law means something different from what it says.

Chief Justice Beatty says in his opinion that there is apparently no other interpretation to the law than that counties must lose their revenue from liquor selling. All towns in the state theoretically use their license revenue for "the purpose of regulation." Counties also draw a license revenue, but the towns have already made their regulations, so the funds received by the former are apparently not derived in accordance with the law. In the case of San Francisco, where city and county are incorporate, an interesting legal point is involved as to whether the city revenue is used for county purposes or vice versa. A Saturday Nljht Robbery. A young fellow named Cook was robbed of $58, a gold ring and a pocket knife Saturday night.

He is alleged to have been celebrating, and occupied a bunk in the old Aldrioh barn with a companion.

For several years he has been experimenting with this end in fertilizing, planting seed after seed and awaiting results. Mr.

Burbank has shown samples of this new prune which was obtained by crossing the ordinary French prune with a plum. While there is no pit in the fruit, there is a small seed, which is edible.
