Criminal Libel Charged Quick to come to the president's defense was Horace E.

Beales, railroad signalman and president of Patriotic league. At San Jose, the county seat, Beales signed a complaint charging Smith with criminal libel. Smith will appear for preliminary hearing before Justice Grandin Miller January 13. If this jurist finds there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial, the editor will be bound over to the superior court. The offense charged is a high misdemeanor and conviction would entail a jail term, a fine up to $5000, or both.

'Personal Spite' Alleged "I am willing to have the case go to trial, although the whole matter arises out of personal spite," says Smith. "For years my paper has advocated improvements such as parks, street paving and better schools and Beales has opposed them. He lost in every case and this is the first chance he has had to get back at me. "There is no such thing as the Patriotic league. He just got out a letterhead." "The Leader" was founded in 1 1888 by Frank Bacon, later famous as the author and star of the stage play, "Lightnin'." T.

Cases Recalled Lawyers studying libel cases involving a president recall two such brushes in which Theodore Roosevelt figured. In 1908 he obtained indictments against editors of "The New York World" and "The Indianapolis News" as the result of articles about Panama Canal concessions. The charges were not brought under libel laws, however, but under an act "to protect harbor defenses from malicious injury." The editors were acquitted. In 1912 sued Michigan editor who had charged that he was "not infrequently drunk." After hearing copious evidence of Roosevelt's temperate habits, the defendant retracted his charge and the plaintiff was awarded nominal damages of six cents. Live Oak OAK.

OAKLAND AND SAN FRANCISCO BRIDGE FARE NOW 50 CENTS SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6 toll for passenger automobiles using the San Francisco- Oakland bay bridge will be trimmed from 65 to 50 cents, effective February 1, Governor Frank F. Merriam announced today. The reduction will be made possible by a lowered rate of interest on the bridge bonds.

Authorization for the reduction will be granted at a meeting of the California Toll Bridge authority, to be called within two weeks, Merriam said after conferring with Finance Director Arlin E. Stockburger and Public Works Director Earl Lee Kelly. Lieutenant Governor George J. Hatfield and Harry Hopkins, chairman of the highway commission, are the other members of the authority. The reduction will be in line with a campaign waged by Hatfield to set the toll at 50 cents per private passenger car, regardless of the number of passengers.

There was no indication that the toll bridge authority would vote a toll lower than 50 cents. The schedule of rates for other, types of vehicles was not mentioned in today's development, and will be a problem for the authority to solve.
