Ho- taling & Co., filed a communication to the Board of Supervisors with County Clerk Graham to-day, in which the San Francisco law firm which has se- | cured contracts to collect money al- leged to be due the county from the State is excoriated in the bitterest | terms. Augustine declares that it is an the pockets of taxpayers already overburdened, characterizes the attorneys as ‘“‘cormo- rants,” “vampires” and “bloodsuckers,” and petitions the board not to become a party to what he regards as so mere- tricious a scheme. After stating that the law firm has secured contracts by which it will make $700,000 in fees, provided all the suits | | against the State are won, and that if of great | this county should win its suit it would lose $8000 out of the $20,000 claimed on the basis of a 40 per cent fee, Augustine | declares himself in the following force- ful language: Concerning the moral aspett of the case I can hardly trust myself to s can I characterize such practice serves.

You were assured that the money to ray this judgment is already in the State treasury, appropriated for this purpose. Had_ this been true, it would have been to the interests of this county to com- mence suit to recover it; i This money is in the taxpayers of tHe count. pa 1 we must pay and, besides, pay these c vampires, these bloodsuckers, literally fo the privilege of doing so.

The contract 5 obtained from you fraudulently and can be set aside on that ground, and we look to you, gentlemen, with absolute confi- dence in your integrity and good inten- tion, to protect your constituents against this'iniquitous attempt upon their rights, and thereby to aid in setting the :eal of infamy upon the men whose minds were cunning enough to conceive this nefarious scheme, and whose hearts were base enough to execute it. To-morrow’s session of the board will be devoted to a consideration of the proposition of rescinding the contract with the law firm in question. District Attorney McIsaac will be asked at that time to present an opinion in the matter.

Special Dispatch to The Call. 4.—The first WASHINGTON Jan. sessfon of the Senate after the holidays al- occupied only fourteen minutes, though in that brief time two open sions and one executive session held. ~ The galleries were filled with specta- were tors before the Senate convened, the general expectation being that the peace treaty would be presented. The | Senatorial members of the Peace Com- mission appeared on the floor and were | given a hearty greeting by their col- leagues. In the absence of the Vice President, Frye of Maine, the president pro tem, called the Senate to order. The chaplain in his invocation said: “We come together under a sense of bereavement by the absence of senior Senator of Vermont, whose w counsel and loving presence shall no more enrich the proceedings in this chamber. We bless Thee, O Lord, for his noble life; for his example to all men, and we pray that his spirit may ever de within these walls.” Scarcely had the clerk begun to read the journal of the last session of the Senate when Davis moved that the further reading be dispensed with. The motion prevailed. Frye, who wa in the chair, immed ately recognized Major Pruden, a sistant secretary of the President, who presented a message from the President nf.lhe United States. The message con- tained the treaty of Paris. On motion of Davis the Senate then went into ex- ecutive session in order that the treaty might be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. In a few minutes the Senate recon- vened in open on and Allison an- nounced the death of Senator Morrill. The usual resolutions were adopted and as a mark of further respect the Sen- ate adjourned until to-morrow. S 5 Laws for Alaska Considered.
