BRAUNHART’S PET BILLS ALL TURNED DOWN CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 3L.—Senator Braunhart of | San Francisco is this evening consoling | himself with the thought that he is a | much abused man, for without exception | the Senate Judiciary Committee turned | him down upon every one of the pet bills | that he has been to so much trouble form- | ulating and which, if they had become laws, Mr. Braunhart would have made a record for himself that would have made him an object of envy to many of his| fellow-Senataes, The bills upon which the committee de- clined to pass favorably were those re- | lating to the cutting down of fees now seived by Public Administrators and o giving the heirs to egtates of the de- ceased the power to choose any attorney = they wished to act as administrator, whereas at present it is the duty of the court to so do. Mr. Braunhart spoke at some length upon the bills as they came up, and gave as the reason for formulating them the fabulous fees now received by Adminis- tratos which in many cases eat up the entire estate. also contends that the heirs of the E | deceased should have the right to choose their own attorney, as in many cases, un- | der the present regime, the court appoints | unscrupulous _attorneys, who make it a point to divert to their own use as much of the estate as possible. Atte: v Charles Snook of Alameda Count: wpg. sred for | the Administrator of that county, Abra- ham Ruef for that of San Francisco and Slwood Bruner for the Administrator of | Sacramento County. They all spoke in decided terms against the measure, and met with very little opposition except on | the part of Senator Braunhart. | ELKS GIVE A ‘ RECEPTION | TO FREDERICK WARDE CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- ] MENTO, Jan. 31.—The Sacramento lodge | of Elks to-night gave a Teception to Frederick Warde and Louis James, the | tragedians, who are prominent members | A carload of Elks came | down from Chico by special train, and the visitors joined the Sacramento Elks in filling the larger section of the Clunie Opera House at the presentation of “"Mac- to-night.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 3lL—Senator Sims to-day presented a petition to the Senate from the Sonoma County Grange asking that all farm property be exempted from tax- ation. The resolution created considera- ble merriment. It was as follows: Whereas, The prosperity of agriculture is in- dispensable to the prosperity of all other legit- imate industries of our State and natlon; and, Whereas, Agriculture is languishing under the grieveus burden of taxation; and, Whereas, The Legislature now in session is being flooded with petittons looking to the ex-. emption of other classes of property from taxa- tion, the effect of which would be to increase the taxation on_agriculture; now, therefore, be it Resolved, By the Sonoma County Grange that the Legislature be hereby petitioned to submit to the pecple & copstitutional amend- ment exempting all farms from taxatlon. The re(l!lon was ordered printed in the journal. The Committee Will Meet Again.

Bush will be rro- moted to the position of police sergeant. For over twenty yvears he has worn the officer’s star, but now he will go one bet- ter and don the sergeant’s cap. He is slated to fill the vacancy caused by the recent promotion of Sergeant Nash as lleutenant of police. For some time there has been much spec- ulation as to who would be the chosen one, and_ut least fifty applications have been made Bush has not flfured e&mn\l- nently among them, but he will recetve the honors at the next meeting of the Poiice Commissioners, His name has been de- cided upon in appreciation of the efficient service he has given to the department, and his friends are congratulating him on his prospective promotion. ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF INCENDIARISM Wm. Sargeant May Be Charged With Arson. ‘Willlam Sargeant, rooming at 230 Clinton Park, who was arrested early yesterday morning by Officer Samuels for disturbing the pedce, may have the more serious charge of arson placed against him. case came up in Judge Mogan’s court yes- terday morning, and at the request of the arresting officer it was put over until Thursday and Sargeant was held without bail pending an Investigation of the fire lill his lodging place early yesterday morn- ng. Officer Samuels, who lives across the street from the house at 230 Clinton Park, was awakened about half-past 2 o'clock vesterday morning by the cry of fire, astily dressing he rushed into the street and saw a blaze in the house owned by a man named Hadsell and occupied by a family named Thompson. The blaze was in the basement, and the policeman, see- ing that the flames had not gained much headway, sought to extinguish them with- out turning in an_alarm. As he ran toward the house Sargeant stopped him and sought to keep him from entering the basement. After a short struggle Samuels threw Sargeant from him, and, finding no buckets about the place, se- cured some from his own home and put out the fire. After the blaze was ex- tinguished Samuels arrested Sargeant for disturbing the peace. A The neighbors who were present at the fire were of the opinion that it was a case of incendiarism. Mrs. Thompson was the first one to discover the fire, and it is sald that Sargeant, who had not been to bed up to that time, sought to keep her and others from giving the alarm. No one seems to know what object BSargeant would have in setting the place on fire. The blaze started In the’ basement among a pile of old rubbish, which had been scraped into a corner mext to a wooden partition, and had not Officer Samuels been 80 prompt in getting water on the flames it is probable that the house would have been burned to the ground. The police have notified Fire Marshal To:ive and an investigation will be made to-day. —_————— “KID” LAVIGNE AND “MYSTERIOUS” SMITH They Will Box Twenty Rounds Be- fore the Excelsior Club.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The bill to reorganize and increase the standing army to about 100,000 men, but giving the President authority to reduce the size of infantry companies and cav- alry troops to sixty men each,.thus fixing a minimum of about 50,000 en- listed men, passed the House to-day by a vote of 168 to 125. This was the result of a week of hard and often picturesque fighting on the floor, dur- ing the progress of which the opposi- tion compelled those in charge of the measure to give this discretionary au- thority to the President and to make other modifications, among which were a reduction of 331 in the number of staff officers. In consequence of these modifications the Republican opposi- tion practically vanished, and on the final vote but six Republicans voted against the bill—Messrs. Barber of Maryland, Connolly of Illinois, Loud of California, Johnson of Indiana, Mc- Ewan of New Jersey and Wadsworth of New York. This Republican defection was, how- ever, almost offset by five members of the political opposition, who voted in favor of the bill—Messrs. Berry of Kentucky, McClelland of New York, McAleer of Pennsylvania, Taylor of Alabama, Democrats, and Skinner, Populist, of North Carolina. The galleries were crowded through- out the day and every memiber who could possibly be there was on the floor to record his vote on the final roll call. The programme to-day included pro- vision for two hours of general de- bate, which was to be occupied by 7 Messrs. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Hopkins of Illinois, in closing for the majority, and Messrs. Bailey of Texas and Settle of Kentucky for the oppo- sition. This programme was smashed | owing to the failure to complete the debate under the five minute rule be- fore 3 o’clock, the hour set for the vote. Among the important amendments adopted before the vote was taken to- day was one to exclude the appointment of civiliahs to positions in the Engineer Corps, one to abolish canteens and the sale of liquor in camps and one to strike out the provision for additional pay for commands serving in the West Indies and Philippines and Alaska. The amendment of Mr. Cummings of New York to prohibit the use of troops in the several States to suppress riots, etc., except upon the applications of the States was defeated by a large ma- jority. The motion to recommit with instructions to report back the minority substitute only commanded two Repub- lican votes, and was lost, 117 to 170. The bill as passed provides, In ad- dition to the general officers and staff departments, for twelve regiments of cavalry of twelve troops each, 144 coast batteries, twenty-four fleld batteries, thirty regiments of infantry of twelve companies each, a corps of engineers and one regiment of engineers, an ord- nance department and a signal corps, the latter with 625 men. It also gives the President discretion to recruit the organization serving ‘in Cuba, Porto Rico and the islands of the Pacific in whole or in part from the inhabitants thereof. Before the House adjourned to-day the river and harbor bill was formally called up in order to make it the un- finished business in the committee of the whole. MATCH APPLIED 10 HIDE MURDER Tragedy on a Ranch in Washington. {FARMER SLAIN FOR HIS GOLD HIS CABIN FIRED TO COVER THE CRIME. Officials Find That the Dead Man’s Body Was Dismembered Before Being Inciner- ated. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Jan. 31.—Boisfort, a small town in Lewis County, has supplied more sensations than any other com- munity of this State during the past sixty days. Within that time two citi- zens—father and stepson—have been accidentally killed by the same rifle while hunting. Another hunter has been lost In the mountains and is now mourned as dead. Yesterday a trag- edy-came to light, when the charred remains of V. A. Faddaugh were dis- covered among the ruins of his cedar log cabin, eight miles west of Chehalis. It was first believed Faddaugh had been burned to death while asleep in his cabin, but later discoveries indicate that he was the victim of foul play. This belief is strengthened by the fact that Faddaugh drew a sum of money out of the bank at Chehalis sev- eral days ago. His friends have cume to the conclusion that he was murdered for his money by some one who Knew he had it in his possession, and that his cabin.was afterward fired to show that he had been burned to death while asleep. Neighbors noticed a fire at Fad- daugh’s place on Sunday night, but as brush fires are common where land is being cleared, they thought nothing of, it. Yesterday morning, however, John ‘White went over to see Faddaugh and found that his cabin had been burned. In the ashes the body was found, burn- ed almost beyond recognition. As soon as this news reached Cheha- lis an investigation was commenced un- der the auspices of Coroner Mead and Prosecuting Attorney Harmon, who was a cousin of Faddaugh. Accompa- nied by Deputy Sheriff Fourot, they proceeded to Faddaugh's ranch and impaneled a Coroner’s jury. They dis- covered that the dead man's head and limbs had been severed from his pudy. ‘What are thought to be bullet marks were found on his watch case, and evi- dence of violence is said to have been found on the breast of the corpse. A young man named Willlam Tay- lor testified at the inquest that Fad- daugh had brought to the ranch the money he got from the bank. Taylor's actions were deemed somewhat suspi- cious and to-day he was brought to Chehalis in custody on suspicion of be- ing implicated. Coroner Mead refuses to give out further detafls of the evi- dence at the inquest, but since Taylor has been held there is little doubt that more evidence that Faddaugh was mur- dered was obtained. Faddaugh was over 50 vears old and came to Chehalis last fall from Polo, Mo. The farm on which he was killed was homesteaded by his son, who was killed in September near Walla Walla by the turning over of a traction engine belonging to a threshing outfit. Soon after this the father came out to settle his son's estate and look after his prop- erty. He had spent most of his time in Chehalis until last week, when he went out to Boisfort to stert spring work on the ranch. Before going he drew the money in question out of the bank, intending to use it to buy an ad- joining forty acres of land which he was very desirous of obtaining. Faddaugh was a nephew of Rev. A. A. Harmon of Chehalls and a cousin of Prosecutor Harmon, both of whom are determined that his murderers shall be hunted down. Young Taylor, who s held on suspicion, was an arauaintance of the dead man in Missour. BACK TO CIVIL LIFE. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 3L.—The first battalion of the Eighth California Volunteer lnl’autr{i consisting of Compa- nies D, G, I and H, which has been sta- tioned at Vancouver Barracks for the past three months, was formally mustered out of service to-day. The majority of the battalion left to-night for California in a specfal train over the Southern Pa- J cific. » FOSTER SUCCEEDS SERATOR WILSON Tacoma Lumberman to Don a Toga. VICTORIOUS NAMED BY REPUBLICANS AT OLYMPIA. At the Close of a Bitter Fight the In- | cumbent Throws His Support Against His Own County. Epeclal Dispatch to The Call. ~ SEATTLE, Jan. 31.—Addison G. Fos- ter of Tacoma, one of the best-known lumber men in the Northwest, was to- night elected United States Senator to succeed John L. Wilson, after one of the most bitter political fights in the | history of the State. There were two other candidates in the field—Senator ‘Wilson and Levi Ankeny. J. T. Humes, Mayor of Seattle, was in the fight at | the start, but last night withdrew and threw his strength to Ankeny, a banker and one of the wealthiest men of the coast. The one great desire of the three can- didates—Humes, Foster and Ankeny— seemed to be to defeat Wilson, who, it was alleged, disregarded the welfare of the Republican party of the State | for the purpose of building up a per- sonal organization. Wilson to-day was compelled to realize that his chances of being returned to the.Senate were very poor. He was very bitter at King County, first for putting up Mayor Humes as a candidate against him, and second in later throwing Humes' strength to Ankeny. Realizing that his political future was a wreck, and for the purpose of “getting even” with King County, he to-night, during a caucus of the Republicans, threw' his strength to Foster, making him the caucus nominee. There was much excitement over the result, King County claiming that sev- eral of her delegates betrayed her in- | terests by first voting for Wilson and later geing with the Foster forces. ‘Wilson had the support of Mark Hanna in his fight. HUNTSMAN MISSING # NEAR HEALDSBURG HEALDSBURG, Jan. 3lL—About a month ago two men with horses and wafon laden with provisions passed u Mill Creek and stopped at a cabin locatg ed at the head of Pena Creek. A few days | later one of the men returned with the rig, the other presumably remaining for a hunting and fishing vacation. Last Sunday Messrs. Hayes, Corbell and others happened to pass that way and stopped for a chat with the stranger. No response was recelved to their knocks at the door and they entered without invi- tation. The cabin was found unoccupied, but well stocked with provisions of all kinds. The men searched in the neigh- borhood of the cabin, but found no trace of the missing man. The residents of that section belleve that the man met with foul play at the hands of his companion or accidentally shot himself while hunting in the wilds of that region.

Special Dispatch to The Call. * DENVER, Jan. 31.—The recent dis- covery of wonderfully rich ore'in the property of the Isabella Gold Mining | Company at Cripple Creek has caused | the greatest excitement on the mining stock exchanges of this city, Colorado | Springs and Cripple Creek that has been witnessed in a number of years. | The stock of this company, which six weeks ago was quoted at 22 cents a share, sold on the exchanges yesterday at $1 80, having jumped from 90 cents in two days. This morning signs of a reaction were apparent when the exehange opened. The first sale of Isabella was at $1 60 and at once the panic began. There | were many buyers, but offerings were too heavy for them and the price grad- | uallyl sank to $1 49 and $1 50 at the| close of the first call. When the sec- | ond call opened there was a further | decline and the panic continued, the | last sales bringing $1 29%@1 30. The | sales to-day were 127,000 shares. To-night there is a great diversity of opinion as to the action of the stock to-morrow, many declaring that the bear movement has done its worst and predicting that the next upward turn will carry the stock to $2. This is based on the claim that the mine has $5,000,000 worth of ore running $1000 in gold to the ton now in sight. The company is capitalized at $2,250,000. The excitement on 'Change, which has been entirely due to the Isabella strike, has been largely confined to that stock, though several other gold stocks have been influenced sympa- thetically. The fluctuations were for the most part within narrow limits. RAILWAY BOUGHT BY A SUGAR COMPANY LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.—W. H. Hola- bird, now in San Francisco, has just closed the sale of the Santa Ana and Newport Rallway to J. Ross Clark, the vice president of the Los Alamitos Sugar Compang, The exact sum paid is not known, but it is about $500.000. The rail- way has three terminals—Newport, Santa Ana and Westminster. The original main line runs from Newport to Santa Ana and the other branch runs from Newport to ‘Westminster. The total length Is twenty- It is said that W. H. Holabird is to ve general manager under the new manage- ment. Whether the road is to be extended any great distance is not known. That it is to be extended into the town of West- minster is certain, the present terminus being in the celery fields two miles south of that. town. e TEN THOUSAND REBELS BESIEGING SHU CHAU Are to Be Made to Observe the Letter of the Ordi- nances. > Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.—Chief of Police Glass was to-day Instructed by the Beard, of Police Commissioners to enforce the city ordinances that are designated to regulate the business hours of saloons. Should the Chief car- ry out to the letter the order given he will be compelled to see to it that no saloon remains open for business after midnight of any day, and not for a minute on Sunday. He will also look into the conduct of those places hav- ing a restaurant license, and will keep a lookout on drug stores that sell whis- ky by the drink. At a meeting of the board this morn- ing Mayor Eaton brought up ihe sub- ject, which is fraught with much im- portance to liquor dealers. Mayor Eat- on said he had learned that some sa- loons were disregarding the ordinance requiring_the closing of saloons at mid- night and all day on Sunday. In view of information that had come to him he suggested that the board. instruct the chief to enforce the law. Commissioner Scarborough explained that he knew personally that most, if not all, drug stores sold whisky to any person for ten cents a drink, and did not demand a physician’s prescription. Commissioner Goss said. if druggists were in the habit of selling liquor at ten cents a drink it was wrong and should be looked into, not because it was a violation of their rights, but be- cause it was hurtful competition of sa- loons that paid $50 a month license. Chief Glass said the police depart- ment had been “up against” the res- taurant license proposition several times before. He had found that some places keep sandwiches until they are worn smooth in their long continued use as excuses for the sale of accom- panying drinks. The commissioners ended the matter by the adoption of a resolution instruct- ing the Chief to at once proceed against any persons caught violating the liquor ordipance, whether they are saloon men, restaurant men or druggists. FALLS HEIR TO AN ESTATE IN IRELAND KESWICK, Jan. 31.—W. J. Wylle of Mistletoe, this county, recently received the news that he had fallen heir to $40,000 worth of property in County Antrim, Ire- land, consisting of linen mills and land. He was poor, but succeeded in borrowing $256 to make the trip to Ireland to settle the estate. Between Sacramento and Reno lost his ticket and $140 in some unaccofintable manner. He wrote back, asking a friend to loan him $300 more, sending it by his wife, so that she could look after him and his money. The friend granted the Tequest and Wylle, accom- panied by his better half, is now speeding across the continent to get the Irish for- tune awaliting him.
