Sverything that could be done was done this morning by the Democratic minority and Assemblyman Belshaw and his half- dozen Republican adherents to limit the Cutter bill to its actual provisions.

His resolution was prac- tically along the same lines as that intro- duced yesterday by Belshaw and it met the same fate. The Assembly went into committee of the whole to consider the amendments, and after adopting two in- tended to rectify mistakes In the phrase- ology reported the bill back to the House with the recommendation that it pass as amended and it went through at a gallop, the vote standing 48 ayes, 27 noes. Dibble said it was his opinion that the whole bill was unconstitutional. He did not believe that the Assembly had the right to say how many employes the Sen- ate should have nor bow many succeed- ing legislative majorities it should have. | He thought the whole matter should be | settled by rule and not b enactment— he voted for the bill and fought for it hard as any one on the floor and was on the Cutter bill was inter- rupted by a message from the Senate to the effect that San Francisco's charter ratified by the vote of that body, vas chronicled on the min- ites of hearty applause.

At least Sen- ator Bulla has taken cognizance of it, for he introduced a bill in the Senate this morning which makes it a fel- ony for any one to smuggle, in- troduce or carry into any State prison or ' reformatory any oplum, morphine, or narcotic of any kind; any firearms or weapons of any character. If this bill becomes a law it is very liable to put a stop to the practices which have been freely indulged in, not only at San Quentin, but at some of the insane asy- lums as’ well as at Whittler and at Ione, for visitors to carry to the friends they are permitted to see either opfum or mor- phine or some proscribed and prohibited article. Warden Hale of San Quentin is here STONE I THE kind, is guilty of a felony, and upon con- viction thereof shall be punished by im- prisonment in the State prison for a term are and shall be disqualified from holding an: State office or position in the employ of this State. The bill was referred to the committee on State prisons and reformatories. S R A BILL AFFECTING CATTLE QUARANTINE CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—Speaker pro tem. An- derson of Solano introduced into the As- sembly this morning another bill affecting the quarantine that is to be raised against cattle and stock afflicted with contagious | and infectious dise: | It authorizes the State Board of Health | to take such actlon as is necessary to | prevent the introduction into this State | of domestic animals infected with an- thrax, splenetic or Texas fever, glanders, hog cholera and all other diseases of that | class. The board is further directed to make a complete investigation throughout the State to discover if any of these maladies already exist; and it 1S empowered to em- ploy such experts as may be needed. It shall be the dutguf the expert to re- port at once to the Board of Supervisors of any county In which he may find con- tagious diseases, and the Supervisors are directed to immediately raise the neces- sary quarantine against either exporta- tion or importation. If the Board of Su- pervisors does not act within five days the Board of Health shall have power to do so and is so directed. The bi!l was re- ferred to the Committee on Health and Quarantine. SENATOR STRATTON LOOKS | AFTER THE UNIVERSITY CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- | MENTO, Jan. 20.—Senator Stratton of Al- | ameda County has taken the State Uni- versity under his wing and is seeing to it | that all bills affecting the university get | in early and receive prompt consideration. terest of the outstanding bonds of the | H+O+0+0+0+0+O+0HHO+O+THOTHOHATIOI0404040 404040 State held in trust for the university fund and on the additional sum of $79,750 divert- ed from the endowment fund. The. taxes to pay the interest on these bonds is to be fixed by the State Board of Equalization. —— A BILL AIMED AT WHISKY RECTIFIERS CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—Assemblyman Cosper of Tulare introduced into the Assembly this morning a bill designed to forbid the sale of single stamp whiskies in the State of California. The bill has been referred to the Pure Foods Committee, and will prob- ably be reported favorably to the House. Mr. Cosper’s proposed law is apparently aimed at every wholesale liquor dealer in San Francisco who holds a rectifier's license. When whiskies are distilled they are placed in bond at from 101 to 103 proof—that is, cent of alcohol. It has been the custom of San Francisco | dealers to blend one whisky with another or with spirits or with water to cut the proof down to about 85 or 42% per cent. | This means that the alcoholic contents of | the whisky sold in the city ranges at about 40 per cent or a little more, as ainst 50 I)er cent in proof whisky, which Cosper’s bill is intended to enforce. BILL TO ESTABLISH AN EIGHT HOUR LAW. CALL HEADQUARTERS, MENTO, Jan. 20.—In the Assembly this morning Hoey of San Francisco Intro- duced a bill which limits the time of ser- vice of laborers, workmen and mechanics employed upon public bufldings of the State, whether the work is done by con- | tract or otherwise, to eight hours, and makes it unlawful for any officer of the State or any person or corporation in the employ of the State to. require or permit any one employed by them to work more than eight hours a day, ex- cept in cases of extraordinary emer- genc, Th ‘bill also makes it unlawful for any | | | | | BETWEEN ACTS the special committee on investigation. t was promptly passed, and after decid- | ing to tear down the rather giddy fnaugu- ral ball, decorations adjournment was | taken to the regular hour to-morrow morning. e BELSHAW ACT DEAD AND THE BARS DOWN | CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—The Belshaw act is dead and the bars are down to the horde of job-chasers that has flocked into this and it Is sald that he strongly urges the Easugo of this act as introduced by enator Bulla, A bill was also introduced in the As- semle to-day by Asserx_lblxman Atherton regarding the unauthorized bringing into State rei)rmalnries or prisons intoxicat- ing liquors, narcotics or firearms. It reads as follows: Any person not authorized by law who brings Into either of the State prisons of the State of California, or any reforma- tories therein, or within the grounds of such institutions, any opium, morphine, cocaine, or other narcotics or any intoxi- cating liquors of any kind whatever, or fire arms, weapons or explosives of any 1 | This morning the Senator introduced a bill providing an appropriation of $85,000 for the university, to be expended as fol- lows: For an addition to the chemical Hbmol‘;g, $5000; for a students’ observatory, $15,000; for an auditorium and necessary furnish- ings, $20,000: for bridges on the university grounds, $2000; for improvements on the university grounas, $6000; for water sup- | ply for the university, $20,000; for a bu! | 0¥ for the agricuitural déepartment to re lace the one destroyed % $10,000; ‘or improving and grading the grounds of the Affiliated Colleges, $22,000.

On its face it is a simpls proposition to appropriate $25,000 to be expended by the Regents of the State University In causing to be made a com- plete and exhaustive investigation into the distribution of and variations in the rain fall of the State and the effect. thereof upon the storage and utilization of flood waters and upon the well and artesian supply throughout the State. It is further provided that from time to time bulletins of these Investigations shall be published and furnished free to all who may be intereste. The ultimate of the Radcliff bill is the establishment on the Unga Island, in the Aleutian group, of a station where a corps of enginee shall be stationed to keep in close observation the annua! de- flections of the Japan stream. Scientists who ave carefully studied the problem agree that upon these deflec- tions depend the California seasons. If the Japanese current is running far out at sea Its water: e cold when they final- ly round onto this coast, and light rains is the result of the consequent scant evaporation; if the contrary condition ex- ists California has prof rai At a station on the Island of Tinga, California’s winter weather could be as certained in summer time and e farmer in the State warned in time wheth- er to buy seed or hang out h gn_ for summer boarders. Mr. Radcliff’s bill is in the hands of.the ways and means com- mitee. RESOLUTIONS AND BILLS INTRODUCED CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—Senator Boyce this morning proposed to amend the joint rules of the Senate and Assembly by pro- viding that no bills other than revenus bills shall be introduced in either branch after the fiftieth day of the session. Sen- ator Boyce also desires provision made in the joint rules that no bill shall be presented to the Governor for approval subsequent to the twelfth day preceding | final adjournment, excepting revenue bills, deficiency biils and bills for claims st the State. y a vote of 9 ayes to 25 noes the Sen- ate refused to adopt Senator Boyce's pro- posed amendments to the joint rules.

This is re- garded by some as a fatal defect, Provision is also made in the bill for a separate ballot-box, so that the votes of females can be there placed and kept separate and distinct from the male votes. . DIBBLE’S PATRIOTISM | IN WORKING ORDER | CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—“Any person,” reads a | bill introduced this morning by Assem- blyman Dibble, “who shall desecrate the flag of the United States by printing thereon or attaching thereto any adver- tisement of any nature whatever shall be | deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.” | Mr. Dibble’s patriotism was in good working order this morning. In line with the above bill, which was referred to the Judiclary Committee, he introduced two | others, providing against the desecration of the United States Senate, It first provides that any candidate for Senator who shall advance or give or loan or promise to do so to any candidate for | the Legislature, whether nominated o» not, upon the express or implied promise of the legislator thaf he wul cast his | vote for the sald Senatorial candidate, is gullty of a felony. The second was a hard rap at Major McLaughlin, and those of the State Cen- tral Commiftee who are just now doing Burns' politics. It provides that it is un- lawful for any member of any commit- tee or association to solicit or deémand ing for a free wagon road from Mono Lake Basin to Tioga road, the same to be a State road. Senator Dickinson’s bill providing for A life that is one because of weakness and puniness is scarcely worth the living.
