DRAFT CF¥ CONSTITUTION A Central Agency Is to Have the Control of the District Sub-Agencies. SEVEN MEMBERS AS MANAGERS The Executive Committee Will Have Absolute Power to Contract All Sales. FRESNO, March 16.—Thomas E. Hughes presided at the meeting of raisin-growers which was held in Kutner Hall to-day. The gathering was the largest held this season, raisin-growers from all parts of the county being present. T. C. White presented the report of the committee appointed to draw up a consti- tution. It entered fully into the details of organization and met with very general approval. The Central Association is to have a president, secretary and treasurer and an executive committee of seven, to be chosen at the annual meeting of the stockholders. The officers are to be under heavy bonds. A constitution to be adopted by each of the various district organizations or sub- companies was included in the report of the committee. Its provisions are merely suggestions, as it isone of the strong points of the new combine that each little district is to be asnearly as possible self-governing. ‘When a grower delivers his goods to the packing-house of his district he is to re- ceive 50 per cent of their value. If the board of directors of the sub-company see fit they may advance the grower money with which to pick and cure his grapes, taking a crop mortgage as security. The money so advanced is to be deducted from the first payment to the grower. During the packing season the seven directors of the central association will hold frequent meetings to manage the matter of sales, consignments, receipts, etc. They are to have absolute power to contract for all sales, and, being a small an act quickly in case of need. All cured by any member of a sub- company is to be sold through the central agency, and thus all competition between #he growers will be stopped. It is expected that this plan will also do away with the dryingof grapes b=fore they are ripe in order that they may be first in the market. D. T. Fowler, T. C. White and William Harvey were appointed a committee to draw up an address to the raisin-growers of the valley. One of the chief obstacles in the way of co-operation at present is the fear among the raisin men that money cannot be bor- rowed for the building of packing- houses and curing and packing of the crop. Every local bank, however, has given assurance that money necessary for the work will be furnished to any re- sponsible association, and the promise will be given prominence in the address to the growers. The banks are taking a deep in- terest in the new combine, as the value of their securities depends largely upon the success of the raisin industry. Within the next week or two meetings will be held in every district for the dis- cussion of the plan of organization pre- sented to-day. The representatives ap- pointed at the mass-meeting will be pres- ent to explain the purpose of the combine and delegates will be elected to meet in Fresno for the purpose of forming a strong central agency. % No News of the Sheriff Kidnaper. FRESNO, March 16.—Nothing has been heard from Deputy Sheriff Sears, the Oregon officer who kidnaped Charles Henderson, from Judge Risley’s courtroom yesterday afternoon. Sears was accompanied by one of the Deputy Sheriffs of this county, and the two officers took their prisoner by a roundabout way to Madera, where it is thought that Henderson was put on the north-bound train. OSTMASTER'S 7. CARSON P EOUE LR A Bag of Gold Disappears in His Office and His Bondsmen Desert Him. CARSON, Nev., March 16.—Postmaster Bell of this place experienced a severe loss this week. A small buckskin sack con- taining 2 consderable sum of gold was placed in a large canvas bag containing silver on Tuesday evening. Wednesday afternoon one of Postmaster Bell’s assist- ants informed him that the gold had dis- appeared and asked him if he had taken it. He had not, and a thorough search failed to reveal its whereabouts. Bell telegraphed for the Government in- spector, who discovered nothing. Mr. Bell says he accuses no one, and rather attrib- utes the loss to negligence on the part of attaches. He has made the loss good. Postmaster Bell’s bondsmen held a meet- ing this afternoon and withdrew from his bonds. It is said that this action was taken because Bell appointed Robert Rieggs, a resident of Californiz, assistant postmaster, and not on account of the loss in the postoffice. e TRAILING A MADERA MURDERER. Officers in Purswit of the Slayer of a Squaw. MADERA, March 16. —News was re- ceived to-day corroborating the report of the murder of an Indian squaw near O'Neals, a mountain town, last Sunday. The body was mutilated in a revolting manner. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of John Moore and John Kane, the latter of whom had pawned a blood- stained dagger at a neighboring town. Kane has disappeared. Officers in pur- suit are confident that he is the assassin. i Napa Applicants for Citizenship. NAPA, March 16.—Seven men of foreign birth applied to the Superior Court here for admission to citizenship yesterday, and five satistied the court of their fitness and were duly made citizens of the United States, but it was found that two of the numper could not read the constitution in English and the Judge refused to admit them, but advised them to study English until they can comply with the require- ments. S PO ACCIDENTS AT SACRAMENTO. Several Persons Injured as the Result of a Series of Runaways. SACRAMENTO, March 16.—There was a series of runaways on K street in this city to-day, which resulted in three ladies and a Chinaman being thrown from their vehicles and injured. Several horses were hurt and a Jarge number of rigs of various descriptions were entirely demolished. The first runaway occurred at 3:30 o’clock this afternoon, when the horses at- tached to a Chinese vegetable wagon took fright and after running two blocks dashed into a cab belonging to a local liveryman. The Chinese driver was thrown to the side- walk by the force of the collision and wa seriously injured. ‘When picked up he was unconscious and covered with blood. The animals attached to the cab, after wrecking the vehicle by colliding with a telegraph pole, ran to the outskirts of the city before they were cap- tured. Their rapid flight caused other stampedes, and for blocks remnants of wagons could be seen at all corners. About an hour later a buggy animal, driven by Mrs. Ammon of Clarksburg, be- came unmanageable and ran into a de! ery-wagon. The lady was thrown to the sidewalk and was badly bruised. The animal attached to the delivery wagon dashed across the street, ran into a buggy in which were seated two ladies, and the buggy was upset and the occupants were thrown into the street, one of them, Mrs. George Gibbs, being severely cut on the head and arms, while her companion, Mrs. Stapleton, was severely bruised about the head and body 108 AfiEWENSATIUN. ATTEMPT TO INTIMIDATE WIT- NESSES IN A CHINESE MUR- DER CASE. A BARKEEPER ALLEGES THAT A DETECTIVE 1S THE PRIME MOVER IN THE MATTER. LOS ANGELES, March 16.—A sensation developed to-day in the matter of Chinese troubles when E. H. Koch, a witness who appeared and testified at the examination of Wong Chee, Wong Chuy and Wong Wing on a charge of murdering Lou Suey, went to the Courthouse and made a state- ment to Deputy District Attorney James. Koch was employed in a saloon in China- town, and was near thescene of the tragedy when the shooting occurred. He says that before the examination came up his employer told him that he had better not testify against the men accused of murder, and that he was afterward advised by other parties to keep his mouth closed. After the examination, during which he did testify, regardless of caution, he was called up and discharged from his position. Koch implicates ex-Detective Bosqui in the matter, and claims the belief that the ex-officer, who sided with the Wong Chee faction, was the cause of the intimidations being used and is the person engaged in the attempt to have the evidence sup- pressed. This Chinese case has excited heathens all over the State, and several San Fran- cisco highbinders are here looking after the defense of Chee and the two other de- fendants. The Female Incendiary Case. LOS ANGELES, March 16.—Mrs. Knox, one of the women charged with having set fire to a house on Pico Heights, was re- leased yesterday afternoon by Justice Young, the evidence not being sufficient to warrant the holding of the woman. Mrs. Platt, the other defendant, was held in custody, however, and testimony was heard to-day in her cas Silkwood Sent North. LOS ANGELES, March 16.—Silkwood, the famous Orange County pacer, was taken north to-day on the steamer Corona. The black sidewheeler has a record 2:0714. He will go to Santa Clara County to spend the remainder of the season. G A R SACRAMENTO FETE, GREAT PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION OF THE VETERANS.

SCOTIA, Cal., March 16.—William Ward, a logger and a native of New Brunswick, aged 40 years, was struck on the head in the woods near here yesterday by a limb falling, which fractured his skull. He died this morning, not regaining con- sciousness. He leaves a widow in Eureka, a brother in Solano County and two broth- ers and one sister in the East. —_—— Seattle Elevator Accident. SEATTLE, Wash., March 16.—Joseph H. Albright, the elevator man in the Seattle National Bank building, was killed in an elevator accident to-day. It is supposed that he fell from the second story, as he was found under the elevator with his ribs broken and a fractured spinal column. He was a member of the Grand’Army and leaves a widow and one child. THEIR WORK 1S DONE Sunday Morning Sees the Death of the Legislature. SOME CLOSING SCENES. The Members Become Kitten- ish at Parting and Play Like School Boys. PAPER PELLETS ARE USED, Tokens of Remembrance Presented to the Officers of Both Houses, SACRAMENTO, March 17.—It is 1:42 o'clock on the morning of St. Patrick day and the Thirty-first Session of the Cal- | humorous. The first was presented by | Costa to make Reid of Trinity chief ento- the token of appreciation of his constitu- ents of the Twentieth Senatorial District. Senator Mathews made the speech which accompanied the present. To Senator Earl was presented a huge bouquetof California poppies, the gift of the ladies of Sacramento in behalf of his efforts to make the eschscholtzia the State flower. In the Assembly it was 8:30 when the Speaker’s gavel descended. By that time every chair in the house was filled. Hardly a desk lacked a feminine visitor, while the galleries and lobby were gay with bright costumes. As soon as order was obtained Speaker Lynch read a telegram from Walter Morosco inviting the members of the As- | sembly to be present on Monday night at the first presentation of Assemblyman Brusie's melodrama at the Grand Opera- house. The mvitation was accepted by a unanimous vote. Then a series of resolutions were pre- sented as the House waited for messages from the Governor and the Senate. Some of these were in earnest, but more were Bettman, thanking Speaker John C. Lynch for his uniform courtesy to all members and the fair and impartial man- ner in which he had presided over the de- liberations of the A mbly. Among the many resolutions that fol- lowed was one from Belshaw of Contra mologist of the State, at a salary of $20,000 THE SENATORS DODGE An Evasive Report by the Bribe Inquiry Committee. ITS LABORS EQUAL ZERO. A Profound Verdict That Either Biggy or Dunn Told a Lie. THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE. | So the Senate Coolly Turns the Whole Matter Over to the Grand Jury. SACRAMENTO, March 16.—Jinks, low jinks, instead of a tragedy, closed the thirty-first session of the California Senate. NOT DEAD VET. AT THE NEXT SESSioN g CARRY OFF THE CAPITOL IF HE couLD.

Some good bills passed, some bad bills passed, | and a multitude, largely of an indifferent sort, were beaten. That is the record of the session. | Governor Budd has vetoed a number of | the bad bills, and indications are that he | will veto the remainder. Perhaps the Legislature which has just yielded up the ghost has accomplished less harm than | several of its immediate predecessors. It has been an extravagant session in small things, notably in the matter of at- taches, but the results are better than came from the sessions of ’89 or '91. Like previous sessions, this one did not close without a scandal; whether anything will result from it or not remains for the Sacra- mento Grand Jury to determine. No very radical legislation was had. The passage of the bill to lease terminal facili- ties to the valley railroad and the defeat of the infamous Lexow proposition per- haps atone for the sins of commission and of omission of the law-making body of the State, which at this moment is just pre- paring to surrender its prerogative. At 11 o’clock the presentations of tokens to the officers of the Senate began. Senator Gesford, ina well-turned speech, on behalf of the Senators presented a diamond-studded locket to President (pro tem.) Flint. Within the locket were the miniatures of the father and mother of Senator Flint. The President pro tem. replied in a short and well-expressed speech. Frank Brandon, the secretary of the Sen- ate, was presented with a silver service. Senator Mathews made the presentation speech. Leslie Blackburn, the Sergeant-at-Arms, responded to a presentation speech made by Senator McAllister. The gift was a set of silver service. Miss Kitty McHugh, the postmistress, and Mrs. Blanchard, the assistant post- mistress, were presented each with a gold watch. Senator Martin made the presen- tation speeches. Charles Newman, Assistant Sergeant-at- Arms, was presented with a gold chain, Senator Simpkins making the presentation 5 peech. | To Senator Bert was presented a cane, a year, in recognition of his ability at find- ing bugs in bills. The Committee on Public Printing ad- vised the removal of the Legislature to the two State prisons, sending the As- sembly to Folsom, and the ‘‘more har- aened body of Senators” to San Quentin. At this juncture Laugenour accused | Speaker Lynch of having taken advantage of his position to bulldoze the members of the Assembly into passinga bill appro- priating $125,000 for the Southern Califor- nia Insane Asylum. He demanded that he be brought before the House and tried for the crime. P A mock trial of considerable length fol- lowed. The Speaker was charged with va- r'ous shortcomings. Several melodramatic speeches were made in defense of the Speaker, who was found guilty, and Brusie of Sacramento was appointed to de- clare the sentence. This he did with a eulogy for the fairness, impartiality and forbearance shown by Mr. Lynch in the discharge of his duties. He then pre- sented the speaker with a watch and chain with adiamand locket and matchbox ate tached. A silver icecream service was then presented to Mrs. Lynch, Bulla of Los Angeles making the presentation speech and Laugenour of Yolo responding. Judge Spencer of Lassen was presented with a silver water service, the gift of the members. Powers of San Francisco made the presentation speech. Chief Clerk Duckworth was presented with a silver-mounted toilet set and dress- ing case. The excellence of the service performed by him was rated in the highest terms. Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Lam- phrey was also remembered. As it was, just at 1:30 o’clock, Mr. Meads and his clerks entered the Assembly cham- ber with the last installment of bills. Cheers greeted his appeatance. The numbers of the bills were read and a committee was sent to the Senate to see if there was any further business. There was none, and at 1:38 o’clock Sunday morning the Assembly adjourned sine die, Speaker Lynch announcing that in his opinion the Legislature had been one of hardest working and most earnest in the history of the State. The Senate adjourned at 1:42 p, x, After listening to a verdict from the in- vestigating committee, which dexterously avoided affirmation or negation, the Sen- ate affirmed the agnostic document and declined to further investigate the charge preferred by Senator Biggy against Senator Dunn. It shifted the burden of responsi- bility from the Senatorial hunchback to the broad shoulders of the Grand Jury of Sacramento County, and pleased with the riddance of its burden the Senate rejoiced. ‘What matter if there be a combine? If there be one, the Grand Jury must prove it, and the Senate’s mind rests easy. Joseph Nougues, the attorney, who, with Attorneys Foote and Dwyer, represented Biggy, predicted just such a course. The Senate would not investigate, he declared, with an intimation that it did not dare do so. And so dismissing such a grave topic as an ingestigation the Senate became joc- ular with the high hat bill. Jink followed jink and quip followed jest. But on Mon- day or Tuesday Sacramento’s Grand Jury will subpena the Senators supposed to have been in the combine and some who were not to prove that a combine did exist. Biggy has agreed to remain over until Tuesday to go before the Grand Jury and to repeat to that body the statement which he made to the investigating committee, and the lobbyists will be called as well. Shortly before 12 o'clock to-night H. M. Larue, foreman of the Sacramento Grand Jury, declared that he would issue sub- penas for every Senator. So a searching investigation will be had. This is the report of the committee of five appointed to investigate the charge made by Senator Biggy that Senator Dunn sought to induce him to join a Senatorial combine for revenue after citing the pre- liminaries of appointment and the evi- dence adduced: Your committee coneludes as follows: That the evidence of Mr. Kahn is not suffi- clently corroborative to overcome the conflict in the evidence between Senators Biggy and Dunn. Therefore, we are unable to decide from the evidence adduced the truth or falsity of the charge in said resolution containéd. We further report that we did not, in our opinion, haye time to enter into the question asto a ¢ombine and complete the investigation within the life of this S8enate, and therefore refused to hear any evidence concerning the same. From "all the evidence adduced, itis plain that one of the Senators involved in this affair has sworn falsely and should be held up to the world in his true light and be punished for his misconduct. On the other hand it is equally plain that one of them has spoken the truth and it is but meager justice to him that he be able to sub- stantiate his words more fully than has been possible in the limited time at the disposal of this committee. From both considerations therefore your committee recommend : First, that the whole matter be referred to the Grand Jury of Sacramento County, now in session. Or second, that this committee be continued in existence, with power to sit during a recess of the Legislature, and to report the results of its labors to the Governor. We feel that some further inquiry is due to the innocent party, to the people of the State and to the good name of this honorable body. We herewith transmit a transeript of all the evidence taken in said investigation, all of which is respectfully submigted. C. M. SIMPSON, Chairman, EUGENE ARAY, SwrTH, J. H. L. A. WHITEHURST, Committee. For half an hour Senator Simpson vainly sought to gain recognition of the chair, as resolution after resolution was sent up to the secretary’s desk. Finally, when this recognition was accorded, Senator Simp- son tersely announced: “Report of the Investigation Committee.” Dunn leaned forward in his desk and eagerly followed the reading of the secre- tary. Senator Biggy sat quietly in his chair, closely watching the secretary as he read. The report began with a preliminary statement of the facts which led to the in- vestigation. A resume of the testimony followed. As predicted in the CaLy, the report of the committee was a Scotch one— “not proven.” Senator Androus moved that the report be adopted and the committee discharged. Senator Biggy seconded the motion. Senator Dunn took the tloor and declared that the charges made by Senator Biggy were utterly false. Senator Orr, who was in the chair, ruled him out of order. Senator Withington raised the point of order that Senator Dunn was in order. Dunn was allowed to proceed. He denied Biggy’s charge. He had served with Sena- tors Martin and Mathews before he knew nator Biggy. He referred to his record asa legislator and declared thathe was willing to go before a Grand Jury of Sacra- mento County or before a committee ap- pointed by the Legislature, with full pow- ers to investigate. He concluded by ask- ing the Senate to appoint such a com- mittee. “I did not intend to discuss this matter on the floor of the Senate,” declared Sena- tor Biggy, “but the discredit thrown on my accusation makes it necessary for me to reply. I took a solemn oath to the God who gave me existence to tell the truth to that committee. I took my nomination of Senator unwillingly. It was no one but Dunn”— At this point Biggy was called to order. He replied that he should be accorded the privilege which had been accorded Dunn of speaking, “Before I would falsely accuse a brother | Senator of a crime like that,” continued Senator Biggy, *‘I would ask God to strike me dead. I will stand by the accusation if it is the last breath of my life. I do not wish to explode a bombshell on the floor of this Senate) but it is my duty—" Biggy was again called to order, but on motion of- Seawell was aliowed to proceed. He related substantially the charges which he had made in the open Senate and before the committee. Dunn had told him there was $8000 for standing in with “the com- bine.”” He had mentioned this to Senators Gesford and Burke, to Judge Slack and to John P. Dunn and others. He was willing to go before any investigating body or a grand jury to substantiate his accusation. Attorney Joseph Nougues had drafted a resolution which Senator Fay introduced, which was as follows: WHEREAS, The chairman of the committee appointed to investigate the charges impiied from the language used by Senator Biggy in the presence of®he Senate, of a corrupt com- bination of members of the Senate of the State of California, also of the uniawful expenditure or promise of payment of money on the part of persons, corporations and associations to in- fluence legislation or obstruct and defeat the progress of the same, and also the employment of agents or lobbyists for the purpose of cor- ruptly influencing the actions and votes of members of the Senate, states that they will be unable on account of the short time intervening before the day fixed for ad- journment to fully investigate the charges, and; whereas said statements are of such character &s to cause wide-spread notoriety and 10 lead the people of the State of California to infer that members of the Senate are or have Dbeen corruptly influenced or that the Senate of this Legislature is and has been corrupt in its | proceedings and actions; therefore, be it Resolved, That the committee of five ap- pointed by the President pro tem of the Senate and consisting of Senators Simpson, Smith, Aram, Seawell and Whitehurst, shall fully in- vestigate the charges and statements by Sena- tor Biggy. Said committee shall have full power to send for persons, books, papers and documents, shall have power to administer oaths to witnesses and to do all other acts necessary to arrive at a full, free and thorough investigation of said charges. Resolved, That said committee shall hold ses- sions at such times and in such places as it may determine, during the present session of the Senate, and after the adjournment thereof; and said committee shall transmit from time to time to the Attorney-General of this Statea full record of all its proceedings, including a transcript of the testimony taken; and, be it further Resolved, That the Controller be and is hereby authorized and directed to draw his warrant upon the Treasurer for such sum or sums as may be required to defray all expenses neces- sary and incident to this investigation; sub- ject to allowance by the Board of Examiners, Which said expenses shall be paid out of the contingent fund of the Senate. Resolved: That the Attorney-General be and he is hereby requested to attend the sessions or meetings of said committee and examine such witnesses as he may desire to examine and assist the said committee in its investigation, and that he be requested to present to the Grand Jury of any gpunty having jurisdiction of any offense which may be discovered the names of witnesses and testimony disclosed, or to have presented before a committing magis- trate such person or persons who in hisopinion the evidence discloses has committed a public offense. There was a vprolonged discussion, in which Senators Simpson, Withington, Sea- well and others spoke of the advisability of a course to be followed. 3 Senator Burke of Santa Cruz offered a substitute that the whole matter be re- ferred to the Grand Jury of Sacramento, with a request to make a searching inves- tigation. Senator Earl supported the motion of Senator Burke, and said that, in addition to what that Senator had urged, there re- Continued on Seccond Page. THE FALL OF EWING Sullies His Record With a Job on the Eve of Adjournment. LEADS A TREASURY GRAB A Speech by Ventura’s Silent Member That Nets the State $240. CALLS THE SCHEME A “STEAL” A Surprising Incident During the Closing Hours of the As- sembly. SACRAMENTO, March 16.—Two As- semblymen, Belshaw of Contra Costa and Ewing, the Populist member from San Francisco, who have during the entire ses- sion been severe on the treasury raiders, were connected with the last attempt to grab unearned dollars from the treasury. It occurred this afternoon, and would have succeeded but for the watchful- ness of Peter Bennett of Ventura, who made his first speech and saved the State s ago Ewing introduced the following resolution : Resolved, That the sum mbly to J. C. Bunner, as comp s rendered as expert for the Co tee on Homestead and Land Monopolies, the same being for thirty days’ services at the rate of §8 per day, and the Conuroller 1s hereby or- dered to draw his warrant therefor, and the Treasurer is directed to pay the same. It was sent to the Committee on Ways and Means, and this afternoon just before recess ‘Brusie returned itto the desk with the recommendation that it be adopted. A number of members objected to the reso- lution, as they did not know who Bun- ner was nor why he 1ld receive $240. Powers of San Francisco said he was unacquainted with the motive of the reso- lution, and wanted to know what it was. The chair questioned Belshaw, who stated that the bill was all right. The House was about to vote on the proposition when *“Uncle” Peter Bennett, the chairman of the Committee on Home- steads and Land Monopolies, demanded the Speaker’s attention. Every one turned in surprise. Bennett had not spoken be- fore and the members were electrified to find the splendid presence he displayed. “This whole thing is a steal,”’ he said. “This man was hired for seven days. At the end of that time he was told that his services were no longer needed and the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to strike his name from the payroll. He received pay for his seven days’ work and has done DREADFUL PSORIASIS Covering Entire Body with White Scales. Suffering Fearful. Cured by Cuticura.
