The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, January 26, 1897, Page 2

2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1897 was given the liberty to withdraw his bill covering temporary attaches. A resolution for a constitutional conven- tion was introduced by Mead. A bill to create a Normal School at San Luis Obispo and appropriating $100,000 for the purpose was introduced. The constitutional amendments were made & speeial order for Taesday next. Harris, Malcolm and Ryan were named as the committee to investizate the pur- chase of furniture under the Emmons resolution. Bettman moved that the Guatemala ex- position bill be made a case of urgency. Carried, 55 to 8. The bill was passed, after the rejection of an amendment pro- posed by Belshaw reducing the uppropria- tion to $5000. Leave of absence was granted Chief Clerk Duckworth, who was reported too il to attend to his duties. After the pas-age of three bills of minor importance from the Code Commission an adjournment was taken untii 3 o’clock. At the afternoon session Bettman read a letter from Charle- Bundschu on the Guatemala Exposition. The letter stated that the Guatemalan Government bad re- served a place for California and urged & liberal appropriation, the bill baaring upon this having been passed earlier in the day. Somewhat of a sensation was sprung by Cbynoweth. He stated that a certain bill which had been introduced had been de- tained and not sent to the printer. He understood the clerk had withbeld it at the request of some person and wanted to know if that was usual, Speaker Coombs stazed that no one had a right to request | such action and the clerk had no right to comply with such a request. Chynoweth remarked that he knew why the bill had been withheld. The Speaker, after con- sulting the clerk, stated that the clerk had informed him the bill had been overiooked and ordered the bil sent to the printer immediately. Caminetti introduced a resolution in- dorsing the Federal bill now before Con- gress for the establishment of & depart- ment of mines in the Federal Government. It was adopted. The first reading file was completed and several bills of minor importance intro- duced. The Senate held a short afternoon ses- sion. Witkington introduced a resolution instructing & refusal to furnish copies of bills to others than members' clerks. Car- ried. Buula later on offered an amend- ment including members of the wvress amone those entitled to bills. With- ington spoke against the amendment. The amendment was carried. Assembly bill 262, appropriating $30,000 for the use ot the Siate Printing Office, | with the committee amendment raising the amount to $75,000, was taken up for final reading. Voorheis asked how much the- Legisla- ture’s priuting would ecest. Braunhart wanted to confine the appropriation to vrinting for the Legisiature. Braunhart's amendment was voted down. was passed; ayes 31, noes 4. During the consideration of the bill Bulia, Smith of Kern and D ckinson spoke of the printing of voluminous reports of various officers and commissions, expressing the opinion that the State Printer was not altogether to blame for the great cost of printing. Senate bill i8, authorizing the employ- ment of a Japanese interpreter in criminal proceedings in cities of over 100,000, was passed on to the third reading file at the request of Buila, who stated he had a similar bill before the committee which he wished to substitute, Assembly bill 10, relating to the re- demption of property sold for non-pay- ment of irrigation district assessments, was taken up and passed on to the third reading file, and as an emergency bill it was read a third time and passed. Androus offered a resolution asking Congress to place a tariff of 21 cents per pound on fresh grapes in aidition to the présent ad valorem tariff of 20 per cent. The resolution was adopted. i TWO INTEEES1ING EPISODES. Peculiar Distribution of Printed Bills to e Investigated. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Jan. 25.—There ‘were two interesting episodes in the Senate chamber to-day. One was in reference to the appropriation bill for the State Printer, and the other bore on what Senator With- ington designated as ““the robbery of the sergeant-at arms’ office.” It was the hour for the consideration of Assembly bills, and under this head the Assembly bili, amended so as to carry §75,000, as originally asked for by State Printer Johnson, was called up. It had been reduced by the Assembly to $30,000. The Senate Finance Committee had re- | stored the $75,000. Chairman Voorheis ad- | dressed the Senate in behalf of the measure, explaining that the State Printer had ap- pearea before the Finance Committee and bad made a showing that convinced them of the necessity for the $75,000 appropria- tion. Senator Withington was of the opinion that the appropriation ought to be cut down to the figures fixed by the Assembly. He charged that the expense of the State Printing Office had been greatly increased by the cost of printing reports, argu- ments, etc., for the Railroad Commission in connection with “the fake suit brought by the Southern Pacific Company against the Railroad Commission.” - He aadsd that all that had been accomplished by | the expenditure of a large sum of money in this suit bad been the overruling of a demurrer. Withington was guite carried away with his spasm of economy. Voorheis explainéd that this amount was absolutely necessary if the business of the Legislature were not to be blocked, a3 there was absolutely no funds at pres- entin the hands of the State Printer The amount asked for, he said, would carry the State Printine Office to the end of June, the close of the fiscal year, ana he concluded by remarking that he did not think it necessary for the Senate to make a gallery play for reducing the amount, as bad beer. done in the Assembly. The amendment to the Assembly bill fixing the appropriation at $75,000 was carried by a vote of 81 10 4. Braunhart moved as an amendment to the bill that the mohey appropriated therein should be applied to printing for the Legislature only. He expiained (hat he did not think it right for the Legisla- ture at this time to provide for a deficiency in the State Printing Office. There was some argument, and on being put to a vote the amendment was defeated by 6 ayes to 26 noes. It is a notorious fact that for som e days it has been impossible for any one, Sena- tors included, to get copies of certain bills, notwithstanding that a special resolution was passed early in the session providing that Senators, newspaper correspondents and others properly entitied to them should be provided with copies of all Senate documents. The annoysnce cre- ated by this state of affairs became so aggravated to-day that Senator With- ington was impelled to introduce the fol- lowing: Resoived, That the sergeanteat-arms be and Le is hereby instructed and direcied to pro- vide no persons other than Senators, the Sen- ate commitiees and the statutory officers of The bill | | #nd physical habits as will serve to_pre- | mw | SENATOR HOLLOWAY, Chairman of the Committce on Attaches and Contingent Expenses. the Senste with any Assembly or Senate bills, | | and that he is specially instructed not to fur nish to persons mot so connected with the | Senate any bills or other documents in his charge for distribution. This was viewed as being aimed directly against the newspaper men, but no oppor- | tunity was given them to be heard in the | matter until it had been passed, thought- less as it would appear, without a dissent- ing vote. | When Senator Withington was asked if | his resolution was intended to apply to | newspaper correspondents he replied, in u | tone of indignant virtue: *Certainly. We propose to stop these robberies of the | sergeant-at-arms’ office.”” { Subsequently Senator Bulla mqved to | reconsider Withington’s resolution, and | in the course of the debate which followed | Withington charged the Los Angeles Sen- | aror with obstructing legislation by tak- ing up the time of the Senate in behalf of | the newspaper men, and implying that he | had interested motives in so - doing. Bulla’s motion to reconsider was carried, and the objectionable resolution was | amended 50 as to exclude the newspaper correspondents from its operation. | | After the adjournment of the Senate | Bulla took Withinzton to task for his re- flection on Bulla’s action, and quite a | heated altercation took place. The sym- pathy of the Senate, as its action proved, was decidedly with Buila and the cause he | espoused. | Incidentally it may be staled that 500 copies of each Senate bill are ordered printed, and that out of this number 100 | are sent to the Assembly, 200 are used to supply, presumably, although not in real- ity, various State offices and newspaper | correspondents, and sixty are for distri- | bution among the Senators and statutory | officers of the Senate. Not since the ses- sion began Las any correspondent bad a | copy of a bill placed on his desk, and what | becomes of the additional 140 copies of | bills is a mystery. | Senator Buila stated to-day that he had | heard that one of the attaches in the office of the sergeant-at-arms had been each | day maiiing forty-five complete files of all bills to some individual, for which service he was receiving a compensation of §5 a day. Sergeant-at-Arms Blackburn denies that this is to. There may be an investi- gation of the sergeant-at-arms’ office. W PG GENERAL LEGISLATION, Bills That Propose to Make Necded Changes in the Law: SACRAMENTO, CavL., Jan. 25.—Assem- blyman Kelly introduced a bill this morn- ing amending section 330 of the Penal Code. The bill is numbered 507 and makes it a felony for any person to own, con- duct, deal or play at any game of faro, monte, roulette, lansquenet, rouge et noir, rondo, tan, studhorse poker, seven and a half, twenty-one, or any nickel in the slot machines, or any machine that is played with cards, dice, etc., or who sells }nooll or makes booke on races. Bettors | on races and buyers of pools are liable to | conviction for misdemeanor. Mr. Gately in Assembly bill 471 also makes things disquieting for the sporting fraternity. Assemblyman Harris’ bill 473 authoriz- ing the employment of a specialist in sociological education in counties and cities and counties and providing for the duties ana execution of his work isa re- markable proposition. It is a step out- side the beaten pith of legislation in Cali- fornia, hence it will be read with interest: First—Whenever, in any county, or city and county of this § the average daily at- tendance of pupils during any school year shall be 25,000 or more, and whenever the number of inmates confined in the county, or city and county jails, prisons, reformatories, poorhouses or almshouses, and hospitals of any county, or city and county, shall be 1000 or more, the Buperintendent of Schools, Sher- iff and Recorder in and for she county, or city and countv, are hereby authorized, empow- ered and required, within thirty days after this act takes effect, to sppoint and employ & suitable person who shall be known as “spe- clalist in sociological education.” Sccond—The duties of the specialist in socioiogical education are as follows: 1.

Braunhart Tery Anxious to Reduce the Streefcar Fares. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Jan. 25.—When the San Francisco delegation held its first official meeting as a Senate committee to- day it took up Senate bill 30, providing for reancing streetcar fares in San Fran- cisco during certain bours of the morning and evening to 234 cents. Senator Dick- inson opposed the - motion to report it favorably, and said that before any action was taken the street railways to be affected should be given a hearing. Braunhart called attention to the fact that the bill was in the hands of the Com- mittee on Corporations, of which Dickin- son is a member, for some time Lefore it was reported favorably to the San Fran- cisco delegation. It was finally decided to report the measure favorably to-mor- Tow. The author of the bill claims there is no reason why the measure should not pass. He alieges it is neither unconstitutional nor unjust, as claimed by its opponents. In support of his measure he cites an article in a publication known as ‘‘City Govern- ment.” Using the facts and figures con- tained in this article the author of the 2}¢- cent measura said: “It is a well-known fact, and one ac- knowledged by the street railway people, that San. Francisco residents do more riding in proportion to population than any city in the world. The annual gross receipts of the Market-street system alone are $3,000,000, and though it is capitalized for about $17,500,000, it pays fair dividends every year. I have no doubt that it can be proved that the actual value of the plant is buta small portion of this amount. All that T claim, under the circumstances, 1s that if the Toronto street railway, with a less percentage of riding population than San Francisco railways enjoy, can afford to carry passengers for from 21§ to 4 cents ach, those of Ban Francisco should cer- tainly be able to do the same, and even considerably better.” —_— COMPETI1110N IN ROCE. L the Produet of the Folsom Crusher Competn With Eres Labor? SACRAMENTO, CaL., Jan. 25.—Compe- tition in crushed rock between prison aud free labor formed the vrincipal topic of discussion before the Senate Committee on State Prisons to-day. The question was whether the product of the Folsom rock-crusher should be put on the market in full competition with that of private crushers, or should be used only for highways outside of cities. It was decided to refer to the Attorney- General whetler it would be lawful to fix two prices for the Folsom product—one price for rock to be used in the streets of cities and a lower price for that to be used on country roads. Another way out of the difficulty that was suggested was to fix a compromise price of 40 cents a ton at the crusher. The present price is 25 cents. While this is said to be satisfactory to the competitors of the ment, it is feared there raay be opposition _to it from those interested in the improve- ment of conntry highways. It was de- cided to recommend for passage the bl appropriating $18,000 for 300 acres of im- proved land contiguous to the Folsom prison grounds, to be used for agricultural purposes. - MIRE WORKERS THEN ORATORS Outside of San Franciscans There Are Few Speak- ers in the Assembly. by Most of the Hard Labor of th- Session Is Done During Com- mittee Me=tings. Members Working Industriou:ly at Afterpoon and Night Sessions That Last Very Late BACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 25.— The Assembly is fairly getung used to the har- ness of legislation, and aithoug: half-day sessions have been the rule during the past three weeks, for the purpose of giving the committees an opportunity of meering and work ng upon the bills, which to-day reached the total of 519, fair progress has been made. Committee work is much more import- ant than the mere onlooker would think. The weiding of similar bills into one uniting the good features and eliminating the bad features of all saves whole days of time to the Assembly. For instance, two mewbers of the House have on more than one occasion introduced bills, some of which were duplicates of others, word for word. Then Senate bills have come in duplicate of Assembly bills. T'he doubles are thrown out, and half a dozen Lills on the same subject and to the same purport are fused into one. Add to those combi- | nations the bills reported upon adversely and the pile of abou* a thousand bills in both houses will be materially reduced. While the Assembly may have appeared to be taking things easily, the same peo- vle when divided inio committees have worked like wolves in full chase after a fat porker. They have afternoon sessions and night sessions, and the reporters have their hands more than full in chasing around after the fifty committees into which the membership of both houses is divided. The present session has devel- oved the fact that the Capitol building is much teo small to accommodate the com- mittees. Several have been obliged to hold meetings in uncomfortable corners of the library. Others met in the basa- ment; others in the attic and others in the Assembly and Senate chambers. Their afternoon sessions are long, sometimes continning untif after the dinner hour, and the evening sessions are oiten pro- tracted until after midnight. The Republican majority under the able Ieadership of that shrewd tactician, Judge Dibble of San Francisco, and the Demo- cratic minority—part of it fused with the lost cause of Populism—under the leader- ship of the quiet but wily Caminetti, seem to be determined to do the right thing for the people, although the Demo-Pops spend much valuable time and wind in trying to make political capital out of the mistakes of the majority. ¥ The Assembly, this session, has not yet given any striking illustration of brilliant oratory or statesmansbip. With the ex- ception of the San Francisco delegation, il seems to be made up of new wmaterial of a different mold; notso showy as their predecessors, but bent on business. Not much time has been wisted in speeches, and in fact there are not more than half a dozen men in the House who can make a speech thateven the unthinking gallery will appland. Of these half a dozen Dib- ble stands at the head, and those who bave heard Judge Dibble speak in public may be able to form a good estimate of the rest. Belshaw has some fire, but is impetuous and is liable to say the thing in haste that is afterward repented of at leisure. North is also fluent with the fluency of a turbid flood in the snow-melting season, but the big white polkadots in his necktie attract the attention of the spectators too much from the subject maiter of his remarks, dazing or hypnotizing them with white spots on their minds. Treacy of §an Fran- cisco speaks from the shoulder, and Leon Dennery uses the stuffed club of oratory in a surprisingly agiie and gymnastic way. Keliy, Henry, Pohiman and Jones do not aspire to the laurels that crown the brow of the orator. They introduce bills and work for them in a quiet and effective way. Cutter is a ferocious speaker, and is at his best in.a cyclone. It would be much easier to point out the speakers who are missed than those who are here. Spencer of Lassen, who made so gallant a fight at t e last session for woman suffrage, Jud Brusie of Sacra- mento and a few ‘more whose voices are not heard in legislative halls are among those whose loss is the most conspicuous and whose piaces as entertaining speakers remain unfilled. But it requires a great occasion to bring forth great speakers. The occasion has not yet arisen in the life of this session, and when it does who knows but that a Kelly, a Damon, a Chynoweth, a Robin- son, a Guy, a Breiling, a Burnham or a Price may not arise in his seat and stir the gallery with the unwonted thrill of eloquence that comes from 'the heart, coating the tongue with honey and gold as in olden days when heroes moved the- souls of men co deeds of daring and re- nown. The San Franeisco delegation this even- ing agreed to report favorably upon Treacy’s Assembly bill 427, which pro- wvides for tbe establishment of & municipal hospital for dipsomaniacs and morphine, opium and alcohol inebriates, in munici- palities of the first class, namely, Ban Francisco. The bill has already been pub- lished in THE CALL. The Assembly Committee on Prisons this evening agreed to report favorably Ennis’ bill appropriating $8000 for addi- tional machinery and tools for the State rock-crashing plant at Folsom. e gtny LOS ANGELESY DILEMMA, Not Yet Ready to Support a First-Class City Government. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Jan. 25.—Senator Bulla wants the minimum limit of popu- lation for cities of the firsi class raised from 100,000 to 250,000. He explained on the floor of the Senate to-day that Los Angeles was Dnow so near the 100,000 limit that she would soon be within the first class and that many hardships might thus be imposed on her. If Senator Denisof’s bill relaiive to the examination of applicants for admission to the practice of law, which he intro- duced to-day, becomes a law, the number Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. (B! of embryo lawyers turned out each year may be considerably reduced. It provides that examinations-shall be beld at least twice euch year, eitber before the court in bank, before either department or at chambers, as the court may prescribe. No examination shall be for a shorter time than two hours, nor shall the questions to,be answered be less thau fifty. Soch questions shall be prepared by the Justices of the Supreme Court and at each exami- nation shall ve the same for each appli- cant, and no applicant shall be admitied to practice by the Supreme® Coart who does not correctly answerthree-fourths of the questions suomitted to him, nor shal the same set of questions be used a second time within five years from their first use. Senator Dickinson, with a view to pro- yiding permanent camps of instruction and sites for target practice for the militia, to-day offered the foilowing bill: The Adjutant-General and two persons to be appoiuted by the Goveror, one of whom shall be & resident of Los Angeles and the other & resident of San Francisco, are hereby ap- pointed commissioners for the purpose of seiccting and acquiring, by donation or pur- chase, two suitable sites for camps of instruc- tion snd target practice for the National Guard of the State of Ca ifornia. One of such sites shall be the ove, in the judgment of said commissioners, most avaiabie for the (roops of the northern part of the State and the other for the southern patt of the State. Said com- missioners shall also have the power to make such improvements on the grounds and the spproaches thereto and erect such buildings thereon as will put the property so selected in a conditlon suitable for the reception of or- ganizations of the National Guard ordered to cdmps of insiruction and for target practice. The biil carries an appropriation of $40,000. Senator Pedlar evidently has an idea that the office of attorney for the State Board of Health and the Board of Health of 8an Francisco is & sinecure, and to-day introduced a bill abolishing that position. If the bill is passed it will save $3000 a year to the State. YOORBEIS H+§ THE RECORD. Leads in the Avalanche of Bills Dumped in the Senate. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Jan. 25.—For the three weeks’ session of the Senate ending Friday last 466 bills have been introduced, an average of about thirty-two for each working day. If tbis rate is maintained to the end of the period allowed for the introduction of bills—ten days before the close of the session ~there will have been introduced more than 1000. The most prolific in this line, and easily first, is Senator Voorheis, who has sixty- nine bills to his credit. Then comes Sea- well with 25; Bulla, Bert and Stratton, each with 24; Braunhart with 23, Dickin- son With 22 apd Morehouse with 20. Shine bas a clear record to-day, mot a single measure having been introduced by the Senator of the Twelfth District. Shippee was guiltless until the 18th, Trout until the 20th and Franck until the 21st. Flint, Frank and Luchsinger have each intro- duc d but one bill. Voorheis unloaded forty-eight at a single situng on the 18th. In accordance with the report of the Committee on Rules, the San Francisco Delegation Committee was formally created by the Senate to-day as a regular standing committee. Senator Mahoney, being the senior Senator in service, was elected chairman. George W. Elder, well-known in San Francisco in connection with reforms in street work, was to-day appointed assist- ant bill clerk in the office of the sergeant- at-arms, vice J. D. Wiseman, discharged last week. MARIN OFFICIALS OUSIED. County Superrisors Make Appointments and Leducs Salaries. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, Jan. 25.—At an adjourned meeting of the Board of Su- pervisors to-day an almost clean sweep was made of the incumbents of official places under the control of the board and new appomtments were made. These officials were: The county physician, su- perintendent of the County Ho<pital and Poor Farm, janitor of the Courthouse and grounds, night watchman of the Court- house and two guards for the prisoners at work on the Tiburon boulevard. The board had requested the resignations of the incumbents, but these not being forthcoming, an order was passed declar- ing the offices vacant, and tben the fol- lowing appointments were made: County physician, Dr. W. F. Jones, vice Dr. W. J. Wickman; superintendent of County Hospital and Poor Farm, James Saunders, vice James Bradley; Courthouse janitor, V. Gulde, vice M. Hennessy; night watch- man, George W.
