C. R. Miller, now train agent on the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
road, may be a; millionaire within a
week or so. There is no knowing. He
and other railroad men have a mine in
Nevada which is one of the richest, so
others say. Its lowe3t assay is $3.65 a
ton and the hignest $345.78 a ton. Mil
ler is in the city with J.J . Ramsay, a
conductor on that line, and they have
been on a short. visit I to^ their property.
"Our mine is called tlie Silver Peak,"
Miller said , yesterday, 'and was located
by a woman, Mrs. J. B. - Gilbert, and
though her male friends tried to dis
suade her from wasting her time on it
6he* persisted, and found color at 30
feet. We finally got hold of it, and \*e
all feel that we shall be on easy street
shortly. It is mainly- a railroad cor
poration and those interested besides
myself and Ramsay are E. W. Gillett,
traffic manager of the Las Vegas and
Tonopah; T.C. Peck, general passenger
and ticket agent of the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road, and M. J.
Conroy. also of the Salt Lake road. The
only outsiders are M. J. Conroy and
Stanley Reynolds."
The Southern Pacific announced yes

next spring during March and April the
same low rates to California that. were
in effect last spring and which have

HABEAS CORPUS ACT IS
HELD TO BE INVALID
Judge Carroll Cook Renders
Opinion Adverse to
; Solons'.yiew
WRIT IS GRANTED
A. EL Grossman and A. J.
Krioblcck Gain Point in
• Scrapiron Case
! Judge Carroll Cook, in a long opinion
whichvhe read from , the bench yes
terday * morning, '* declared 'jincor.stitu-'
tionalthe amendment to the" penal code
adopted at the last session of the legis
lature,- which - amendment ; provided irv
substanue'.that when one- judge of the
superior court refuses to a
prisoner on a writ of habeas corpus
no. other, judge of the same court may
'grant: the writ. The opinion stajes that
the legislature can neither enlarge nor
curtail the jurisdiction: invested by the
constitution- in the judicial branch of
"\u25a0the" government to issue writsj of
habeas corpus. v
The '\u25a0; declaration -of the uncohstitu
tjonality. of the amendment was made
by Judge Cook in- granting a writ' of
habeas 'corpus in the case of A. B.
Grossman and A. J. Knoblock, charged
with obtaining money under, false pre
tenses. : Theyj sold a quantity of scrap
ironi and, it was, alleged, falsely stated
that there was -20,000 tons in the heap.
Judge r . Cook upheld the contention of
Attorney Hiram W. Johnson that no
fraudulent intent was shown and there
fore granted' the writ. "• The salient por
tions of the opinion follow:,: - .
S The writ of habeas corpus Is not a writ created
by the legislature; it is a. constitutional writ, and
whatever Jurisdiction. was vested by the' constitu
tion In the "Judicial branch' of the government
respecting such writ ' can neither be enlarged
nor curtailed by the legislature. It is true t-at
In the case of ex parte Morgenten. recently de
cjfletl. Chief Justice -Beatty; In a habeas curpus
cn^c, pfuflitv before hlmseif— as a justice of the
supreme > court % and not before . th« supreme
court — has . construed tbc section of the penal
code in Question,' but," in that case, the question
as to the power of tue ! legislature to pass the
amendment was not considered, nor was lt"eveu
raised or suggested. ;<". . , .
The wjjt of habeas corpus is older than the
constitution Itself, and when the constitution :
refers to snch a~ writ only by name, without de
fining it, under all. constitutional construction
ever sanctioned, the writ referred to must he
considered to be the writ as it existed at the
time -of the adoption of the constitution. -
.Relief, from illegal Imprisonment by means Of
the remedial writ of habeas corpus is not the
creature of any - statute. The history \u25a0of the
writ is lost in antiquity. It was Id use before
the existence* Of our government and came to us
as a part of oar inheritance from- Eog and and
exists as a part of the common law of the
state. Whenever th* virtue and appllcabi.ity of
this writ have been attacked or impugnsd it has
been defended, and its vigor and efficiency reas
serted, tas the great bulwark of liberty. It is
intended and well adapted to effect the great
object secured in England by magna i charta, and
made a part ofonr constitution. Where, with"
out due process of law, a person Is deprived of
his liberty lie can, under onr cog* ti tut lon, Invoke
its aid. ; \u0084 \u25a0 . ,- , •\u0084,—>\u25a0
The statutes which have been passe* In Eng
land, from the time of Charles 11, and in this
and. our sistflr states from the time of onr aad
their organization, have cot been Intended to de
tract from its force, bat i»ther t»» add to its
efficiency. They have been Intended to prevent
the writ from being rendered inoperative by In
creasing \u25a0.. the facilities \u25a0 for- procuring : it, • en
larging the class of officers having Jurisdiction
in respect to it, imposing penalties for refusing
to grant It,' or to obey it, . and providing for a
speedy return and. prompt, trial and discharge of
the person, If not beld according to the law of
the land. ' : . . ,
This writ cannot be abrogated, nor Its effi
ciency ; curtailed by Meglslativa action. Cases
within the relief afforded by It at common law
cannot, until the peopla voluntarily eurreader the
right to. thU, the greatest of all writs, by an
amendment to the organic law, be placed beyond
Its reach and remedial action. The privilege
of the writ cannot even be temporarily sus
pended, I except . for the safety, of the state, I In
cases of rebellion or Invasion.
' The remedy . against Illegal ' Imprisonment af

Midsummer Jinks Music of Boherfiian
Glub Is Repeated in Van Ness Theater
Walter B. Anthony
\u25a0 Bohemia's grove, peopled wijh the
spirits of George Sterling's poem and
resonant .with the. music of "The Tri
umph of Bohemia." /was moved into the
conventional confines: of the Van Nessj
'theater i yesterday "afternoon, when the
midsummer jinks performance, of the
Bohemian" club was repeated for tho
benefit : of those .who know the owl of
Bohemia only :by* sight.. k ' -
The music of Edward Faber Schnei
der, which illumJnes the fantasy. stoa<l
the severe test of transplanting welL U,
for* the most part, la pure picture music
requiring faction, sotying and spoken
word to complete its appeal. »
The original performance, as waj ex
plained yesterday, was set amid a giant
grove of trees, backed by sloping MIU
and lit' by the moon. To such a acena
the music' and the poem were . welded.
The story of the, struggle of the trees
against the winds, which they defeat:
against fire and time, which are baf
fled, and : finally against Mammon, Who
bids the ] woodsmen cut for gold, be -
comes :& living vivid issue, and the
spirit of Bohemia, which saves the
trees and preserves the grove, becomes
a convincing fact. _ .._
STAGECRAFT ADDED
-To the nature charms and, the music
and poem, the science of j stagecraft
setter and stage manager is added, to
say' nothing of the spot lights which
call into existence, apparently, the
characters portrayed by members of the
club. 'All this was lacking yesterday.
The stage was set with canvas trees,
and the Orchestra, which in th« original
was hidden from sight, was manifest
and material- Behind the flanking fid
dles and horns rose the choristers,, con
ventional in their black clothes: at the
side stood a reader explaining the ac
tion,'and, back .to the audience, with
baton in hand, was the composer and
director, Edward Schneider.
To transform that scene into fairy
land was not an easy task, and • the
imagination of the composer had to fly
high, and far. At the three little taps*
of j the baton, however, there rose an
invisible curtain and the local music
maker, swinging the tempo stridas, led
the way Into Bohemia's grove.
EXPRESSES QUIET BEAUTY
The synopsis to the music says that
"the prelude Is intended to express the
quiet beauty of the grove in moon
light." It does. The. "simple motive,
scored deep, Is played upon by tran
quil strings, and suggests peace and,
deep repose. It also develops a charac
teristic of Schneider's style which In
places becomes confusing — a shifting,
uncertain tonality. . It suggests* still
another characteristic of unprepared
leaps from key to key. The prelude,
however, is solemnly beautiful and the
motive assigned to the "tree spirits" is
somber and suggestive. The "Dance
of the Saplings" is delightful and
earned a repetition. . In it Schneider
shows a rich vein of true melody and
considerable facility with his orches
tral forces. The dance Is a true fiddle
motive well placed tor the strings and
lively as a dance should be. A singu
larly effective use is made of a pedal
point sustained by French horn, steady
and long; over it sway pretty har
monies .now plucked on the strings,
now tremulously bowed, suggesting tne
leafy tops of trees touched Into & dance
by the breeze while the sturdy trunk,
unmoved "by. the wind, > sustains the
tossing branches. /'
INTERRUPTED BY THE WINDS
The dance' is interrupted by the en
trance of the "North "Wind." whose lines
were read yesterday .to the accompani
ment of triplicated chords. Then follow
the - south and" east and west winds,
who come to destroy the trees. The.y
are pictured clearly by tonal motives,
the most effective of which is the east
wind, which swishes in chromatically,
like,, the rush of a storm. But the
winds do not daunt the trees, and time
stalks on in an immutable tonal garb,
which, because the biggest thought at*
tempted, was not so convincing; a touch
of grotesque shows that time is human
and thus faults are to be expected.
Time is thwarted, and then comes the
fire. The tinkle of Wagner's fire music
must have been in Schneider's brain,
for the effect is used, not on bells, but
in pizzicato strings. It is not reminis
cent, for there is no similarity In the
theme, only the .means employed show
that Schneider has wisely studied Wag
ner for . picture effects ; in tone. After
the fire sweeps by come the woodsmen.
They are represented by bassoons and
double basses which intone thirds too
deep to be pretty, but are intentionally
lugubrious. The chorus joined next in
the : care song, in which the composer
uses the voices to good advantage, and
after the " Spirit of' Bohemia has
thwarted the last terrors of the trees.
Mammon, the piece closes with a hymn
of triumph, opened with a trumpet flg-»
ure and developed into real bigness.
WOSHEARTY ENCORE
Vail Bakewell sing the only solo
number. It is given to a spirit, and is
an appeal to Bohemia to save the trees
from the despoilers. The singer won
a hearty encore, and there werebravos
for vocalist ; and ; composer. Not the
leait enjoyable feature ot the after
noon was the reading by W. H. Smith
Jr., who in the original production
represented the "Spirit of Fire.*.* He
explained- the action which the music
is supposed to mirror, and acquitted
himself with great eloquence.
