No one had a word to say about it, and no questions were asked. The clerk read the |amendment and a rollcall obtained its | passage. There can be no doubt thatif the | members had been more thoroughly ac- | quainted with the contents of the bill there | would have been energetlc opposition from | some of the men who voted for it. | Bulla of Los Angeles has moved to have the consideration of the bills and other business of the files end at 3:30 o’clock Sat- urday afternoon.

The session be- | fore it cost only $400.” To-day the Committee on Attaches be- gan to look over the stack of resolutions. Their number were too formidable, though, and, after a brief attempt to get some idea | of the men necessary from the resolutions, they gave up the job in despair and de- cided to wastebasket all resolutions. In their stead a committee resolution will be presented to the House fixing the number of men to be retained at the smallest possible number. Some of the resolutions are of a most preposterous na- ture. One man demanded $8 a day for ten days during which he hung around the capitol awaiting for a job. , upon motion of 0'Day, G. E. Dixon, E.

Mysterious combines were hinted at and the clerks went to the Attorney-General. | His assistant, Judge Daley, announced that they could not get their extra money. “You have accepted the position when the salary proffered was $5 a day,” was his decision. “This is virtually a contract to take the place at that figure. The only way to get the extra money would be by a resolution.” So it was decided to have the resolution prepared. The plan was to put the reso- lution in either to-morrow afternoon or evening, and then rush it through before the House would have time to object. But to-night a change was cffected in the plans. Ex-Attorney-General A. L. Hart was consulted. - He announced that the stat- utory provision took precedence over any implied contract. Attorney-Gen- eral Fitzgerald coincided in the opinion, A visit was made to Controller Colgan who began to come down from his former position when Mr. Hart informed him that if he did not draw the warrants for the clerks at the figures fixed by the statutes he would force him to do it by a writ of mandamus. The Controller wanted time to think. He ill have to decide before to-morrow ncon, however, as the clerks, accompanied by their attorney, are to descend upon him in a body and formally demand their $174 apiece. Their later action will depend upon the decision of Mr. Colgan. THE POLICE- COMMISSION. PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND- MENT ABOLISHING LIFE TENURE. SACRAMENTO, March 15.—At last there has been rushed through both house a measure which will sound the death-knell of the life-tenure clause of the Police Com- missioners’ appointment.

Johnson made a prolonged argument against admitting any such evidence. The committee, aiter long deliberation, decided to allow Foote’s guestion to be Continued from First Page. month before his election. In the session of 1593, about a week after it began, Dunn again broached the subject. Dunn stated that the *‘railroad proposition” was worth $4000 or $5000, and $2000 or $3000 could be made outside of that. *Now, one of the Biggy— | answered. 5 - An objection stopped this. | Foote repeatea the question, asking Biggy declared that he represented a dis- | Dl}lm if he had in the Scxlate Chamber trict in which he was born and raised, and | said to Kahn that if the insurance com- could not so disgrace himself and family. ‘ panies wanted to defeat th_e “cinch” bills Dunn then said, “Well, you will regret it ‘ they would have to pay for it. and that he when you get back to San Francisco driv- | Was “not here for his health, but up here ing a laundry wagon.” | for the stuff.” The second or third day of the present| Dunn denied this.

Dunn mentioned the “cinch” bills, ten or twelve in number, such as telephone, water, gas and insur- ance bills, from which money could be made. - The money was to be paid on re- turning to San Francisco.

Kahn declared that the substance of what Dunn said was that if the insurance companies wanted to defeat the “cinch’ bills they would have to put up money, so far as he wascon- cerned. Then Kahn went on to relate the conversation, saying: ANGELS OF PURITY TR 77rassiiiassaianssn o aIN0 A IN THE SENATE. him with the proposition to vote for Kings County. ““I called Senator Dunn aside and asked | why he was always voting against the half the taxpayers, while a vote of | Attorney Foote asked Senator Biggy if | insurance people and said, ‘Why don’t at the time the attempted bribery was|you give them a square deal?” He said: attempted if he had not repeated the fact | ‘If they want their bills passed or defeated to Senators MecAllister, Gesford, Gavin, | let them pay for them.’ McNab, Julius Kahn, a newspaper man, | ‘‘You came here as lobbyist for the and himselt. insurance companies?” asked Johnson.

Attorney Foote said the questions might be ruled out in a court of justice, but were certainly admissable in an investigation committee. Grove L. Johnson began the cross-exam- ination. Senator Biggy stated that no one else was present when the conversations between Dunn and himself took place. The first conversation was early in No- vember, 1892, a few days after the election. Senator Biggy was asked if he thought it an attempt to bribe him. ““I knew his reputation too well.” “Did he attempt to bribe you?”’ “It was not far from it “Did you consider it an attempt to bribe you?”’ “There was no money offered.” “Did you consider it an attempt to bribe you?” repeated Johnson. “No, for there was no money offered,” replied Biggy. “Did you know that money was used improperly during the session of 1893?" asked the attorney. “I so understand it,” replied Biggy. “Did yon know it?” asked the attorney. “Yes, I knew it.” The Congressman-attorney had pressed that question too far. He did not repeat it after Biggy's positive assertion that he knew money had been used to bribe Sena- tors in 1893. ’ Then Johnson began his repetitions of “Did you think it an attempt to bribe you?” Foote objected. “Tt is an attempt to show the condition of the witness’ mind, whether he thought facts or whether it was the effervescent dream of an iridescent imagination,” re- plied Johnson. The objection was sustained. Johnson asked as to the exchange of the names *“Billy” when addressing each other. “What was your business when you were first electéd ?”” asked Johnson. “I was a driver for the Sau Francisco Laundry,” was the reply. “‘And bought an interest in the laundry after the Legislature adjourned,” sug- gested the attorney in a soft purring way which covered the sneer with velvety vocables. The line of the defense was then ex- hibited. Johnson asked the witness if he thought Dunn’s remarks were made in jest. “No, sir; they were bona fide and his subsequent actions convinced me that they were.” On redirect examination Biggy declared that he refused to vote on the Kings county proposition as soon as he learned that money was being used to influence | votes. Foote, to meet the insinuation of John- son in a previous'portion of the examina- tion, asked regarding Biggy's buying into the laundry. “I borrowed $125 with which to buy an interest,” answered Biggy. Senator Dunn took the stand. He de- nied all the statements attributed to him. He had not ever heard such conversations as Biggy related. It was a point-blank “No, sir,”” to all such questions put by Johnson. Attorney Foote asked Senator Dunn if he had ever had a conversation with any one else other than Biggy such as Biggy related. Johnson objected vigorously to this ques- tion. Attorney Foote declared that he pro- posed to show that he had had such con- versations wigh others here. Johnson again objected. Then Foote sprang his bombshell.® “I propose to show that Senator Dunn meade a statement to Julius Kahn that he was not here for his health. He was here for ‘the stuff,’ and wanted it out of insur- ance legislation.” Johnson protested still more vigorously, ‘cinch’ bill is not a lobbyist,” retorted | Kahn. | Johnson repeated the question. “I have answered y our question.” “I insist on an answer.!” ‘i “T have answeyed.” Johnson asked Kahn to define a cinch bill and got a definition. This was it: “Any bill which is introduced for the purpose of bringing corporations to the | Legislature with a ‘sack’ is a cinch billl” There was a prolonged sparring between the attorneys, during which Kahn said Senator Mitchell introduced the insgrance cinch bill. Johnson asked some questions relative to the status of the insurance bill. It devel- j oped that it had gone so the bottom of | the file. Johnson asked Kahn to enume- | rate the various subjects upon which he | had appeared before the Legislature as an attorney. After this was done Johnson said: { ‘“Were you not an attorney for De Young in the Senatorial fight ?” “No, sir. I came as his friend.” “Pay your own expenses?’ asked Johnson. “No, Mr. de Young paid them, and that wasall I did get,” was Kahn's reply. If the committee would get authority from the Senate to sit after the session, Attorney Foote said, he would be prepared to go much further, the intimation being that other Senators wonld be implicated. The ruling of the committee was that it could not investigate anything further than the one charge. Attorney Foote declared that if the | committee did not care to undertake the | investigation or if the Senate did not want to press it steps might be taken in another way. The committee then adjourned and will make its report to the Senate to-morrow. | THE ASSEMBLY. ALAMEDA OFFICERS’ SALARIES WILL B RAISED. SACRAMENTO, March 15.—Alameda’s | demand for a raise in salaries, proposed by | the Assembly, has prevailed. The con- | ference committee reported favorably on the matter this morning, Dodge of Ala- meda protesting against every raise except in the Assessor's office. Here he yielded to the pressure of his friends’ opinions, as it was thought the Assessor should be al- lowed to keep his pledges of re-assessing the entire county. There were so many points of varianee in the two committees that a free conference committee was appointed. This consisted of Cutter, Hatfield and Sanford. They met with a similar committee from the Senate and made unanimous agreements on the disputed points. “The raised Alameda salaries will stand. The salaries of incumbents in Santa Cruz will not be cut down. This will dis- appoint Senator Burke. Heisa Democrat, und was urgent in his demands that the salaries of county officials, all of whom are Republicans, should be cut down imme- diately. Bledsoe’s demand that only one addi- tional Deputy County Clerk be allowed for each new Superior Judge was acceded to and the Senate will recede. A long final report was handed in this morning by the Committee on Public Health and Quarantine. It advised the establishment of Federal control of quar- antine which was made necessary by the fact that California’s boasted climate had brought into her confines people suffering from almost every contagious disease known. The quarantine, it was advised, should include all commerce, interstat and international, and should inclnde superintendence of all domestic sanitary matters, among which are included the homes of the destitute and disorderiy houses. It was recommended that the State Board of Health be empowered to investi- 1 gate the matter wit‘ the idea of reporting / Blood is Life Purity and Vital Of the Blood, Depends the And upon the Ity Health of the Whole System.

The Senate bill allowing $2000 apiece to the four foreign papers printing the con- stitutional amendment last year was brought up. The original bills varied from | $4000 to $6000. Powers urged that as the publishers had acted in good faith under a specific con- tract with the Governor they should not be made to suffer, and he thought the bill should be adopted. Bledsoe argued against the constitution- ality of the measure. Dodge of Alameda thought that the for@ign papers should not be recognized. He said he would never depend upon the foreign voters of the | country to be elected and he was opposed to paying the bill. Osborn of Santa Cruz objected to the spirit of the Alamedan’s remark. He de- | clared that he was as good an American as any man, but that he bad found men of | foreign birth among the most valunble{ citizens. The House in committee of the whole recommended the bill for passage and it was sent to the printer. Yosemite Valley has received a good deal of consideration during this session of the Legislature.

The gentleman expressed himself with great modesty. “I have without doubt committed many legislative sins of commission and omission during this session,” hesaid. “When I am confronted with them I am willing to admit | the charges, for it is not through any wish | to do wrong that I may have failed. Under the circumstances I am willing even to endure unjust criticism without com- plaint; but there are some things I cannot stand and, gentlemen, I object to this.” Every eye was turned to the speaker, who held aloft a clipping from a news- paper. “I may have failed to do what was §ight through an error of judgment,” he continued, “but, gentlemen, I do object to this statement in the Oakland Tribune, | which says that I, in cold blood, introduced Martin Kelly’s primary law, and I call on you for absolution that I may rest easy.’” A shout of laughter greeted the San Franciscan as he sat down. O'Day of San Francisco also arose to a question of privilege. A paper addressed | to Bledsoe of Humboldt was left on his desk, and he wished to deny the implica- tion the act indicated. A bill aimed against armies of Common- wealers was passed with only nine nega- tive votes. Only one vote was registered against the Senate bill limiting the number of attaches of the two houses. ‘The bill authorizing the appointment of Deputy Labor Commissioners in the various cities of the State, whose pay should be their fees, was passed. These men were to supply statistics for the Labor Bureau. The Senate amendment reducing the appropriation for the forestry stations from $15,000 to $5000 was concurred it. The bill will now go to the Governor for his ap- proval. Only Senate bills were considered to- night gs it would have been useless to have passed any further Assembly bills. Among the bills passed were: Repealingall acts under which Potter’s Home for Inebriates was established. Giving pessengers on streetcars stop-over occasjoned by an accident or otherwise. Allowing Los Angeles County to build a rail- | Toad and either lease or run the same. Establishing & plant at Folsom to crush blue trap-rock for road material. Making the golden poppy the State flower. Authorizing the formation of drainage dis- tricts for lands other than swamp lands. Dodge of Alameda urged that the bill for- bidding railroad companies demanding de- posits from their employes should be passed. The bill was refused passage by a vote of 27 to 19. A LOBBYIST'S TRICK. SLANDERED ASSEMBLYMAN LAUGE- NOUR TO FORCE A BILL. SACRAMENTO, March 15.—Assembly- man Laugenour of Yolo created a sensa- tion to-night by demanding the removal of a lobbyist named Dwyer from the floor. Dwyer is a hunchback, and has been working for the passage of a bill that would put the election of trustees of the reclama- tion districts of Yolo County into the hands of the wealthy owners of large but, at present, invaluable tracts of land. Under the law now in operation a man’s influence depends upon the taxes he pays. Under the proposed law it would depend upon the acres he owned. . Laugenour had a similar bill withdrawn from the Assembly files. Although the bill really affects only Yolo County, he knew nothing of the Senate bill till it had passed the upper House. Then he began working against it. He tried to induce Dwyer to have the bill withdrawn. Dwyer then questsoned his motives and had afterward said in the lobby that Laugenour had been bought. It was known that Dwyer was working for a bill Laugenour was opposed to. In conse- auence, when the removal of Dwyer was demanded some of the members expressed dissatisfaction, it appearing that Laugen- our was taking advantage of his position to help an opponent from getting a chance to work for a bill. Thisbrought Laugenour to his feet. ‘A question of privilege, Mr. Speaker,” | he said. “I wish to_explain that I requested the removal of Mr. Dwyer from the floor be- cause he said that I had been paid to op- pose the_ bill for which he was working. Taking advantage of the immunity from physical chastisement that his crippled condition insured him he had the impu dence to say to me that he thought I had been purchased, and that I could not make the people of Yolo believe anything else. “I understand he has said this to others. I would go through.fire and water for a friend. There is no sacrifice I would not make for one dear to me, but I cannot be bought to do a thing, and will resent an imputation of that nature in every possi- ble way. Not being able to use force upon the man who insulted me there was only one way to keep him from disseminating his false stories. This I have followed.” Laugenour then explained the bill at length. He showed why the majority of his constituents opposed the bill. He also showed why the employers of Dwyer wanted it. Asa result the House showed their sympathy for him and their trust by refusing to have the bill read a second time. —_— DENOUNCED BY THE POPE.
