"' ' . REBELS DEFEATED. ' HONGKONG, Sept. 21. Further fighting results at Yochow on the Act of Legislature Is Held to Be Vicious .'' By Associated Pre&s. ' " ' ' SACRAMENTO, Sept. 21. Thfc Superior Court made an import- ant ruling today. The case is the first of its kind known any- where. A bill was passed by the legislature allowing the claims of John Mullen for something over $40,000. Governor Pardee told the holders of the claims that he would sign the bill if they would take $25,000 and give the State full release. They agreed to do it, otherwise the bill Would have gone into the waste bas- ket. The legislature having, adjourned, the first installment of the claim was paid January lit, 1906, but the State controller re- fused to pay the second installment and tendered enough to make up $25,000 for the whole claim. Judge Shields decided today that an agreement to take. less. than the sum allowed by the legislature was void and that the governor has no power to bargain to sign a bill in the interest of the State. His duty is to approve or disapprove. The practice of the legislature to shoulder off upon the governor its respon- sibilities is iield to be both '-vicious and dangerous.

THAW WILL AGAIN RETAIN DELK1AS By Associated Press. , SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2i: Del phi n M. Delmas, who was suppos ed to have lost out with the Thaw family when he failed to clear Harry Thaw on the first trial for the mur der of Stanford White, leaves for New York today to consult with the other lawyers in the case and the family regarding the second trial, which will begin this tl. It is be lieved that Delmas may be retained to conduct this trial on account of his brilliant cross examination and conduct of the case. The unfortu nate phase, "dementia Americana," which failed of its purpose and lent itself to ridicule, . has not damaged Delmas' standing at the New York bar, as he tamed Jerome and got the better of the district attorney in many verbal battles. Delmas' fee for his work in the first trial is said to be somewhere ranging up to $100,000. He will probably receive this amount for the second trial if he is retained. MORNING.
