The la amendments had just been voted down, and still the bill held its own. The bill | provides that there shall be no poolselling anywhere in the State except at a race- track, and then not to exceed thirty days in a year in any county.\ There are other things which it prohibits, but they are already in the gambling statute, and were merely copied into the bill, all but “hokey- pokey.” Upon close inspection of the estatute Senator Bulla found that the word “hokey- pokey” had been omitted {rom the bill, and he gravely arose to amend by adding the word “hokey-pokey.” He was asked to ex- plain, but he declined on the ground of ignorance and innocence, and then the Senate voted down the amendment. Senator Braunhart raked the poolrooms over and over, and when he rose to speak in support of his measure he had to fight against the adverse report of the Commit- tee on Public Morals, to which it had been referred, and to have time enough he se- lected the bill for his place on the urgency file which was under consideration to-day.

Braun- hart replied by saying that Leavitt would not be favoring the bill if he had not'the programme concession at the Oakland track. Then the gavel drowned further words. Senator Ashe was first in with an amendment. He wanted to strike ou’ that part of the act which included the pool fellers and all_his clients and employes. Ashe explained that he was in favor of s too much of it altogether, he thought; but he believed etfing was stopped. it would kill racing if It was unconstitutional, he declared, to allow pool selling at the race track and prohibit it elsewhere, and, besides, he gald he was opposed to that class of leg- islation. Senator Jones, who seldom rises to speak, grew sufficiently enthusiastic to warn the Senate against fostering any- thlns that would “injure any man or his gon.” Braunhart declared he would will- ingly accept an amendment prohibiting poll selling on tracks, too, if some Sena- tor would introduce it, but nobody would. Then Leavitt called on the Senate to beat all the amendments and then beat the bill, an appeal which brought Senator Short- ridge in evidence. Shortridge wanted to strike out the en- acting clause, but he was declared out of order. Then he pronounced all such leg- islation nonsense, declared that private business and the regulation of private affairs was no concern of the Senate and he objected to meddling. ‘The amendment was voted upon and de- feated. It was at this time that Bulla discovered his ‘“‘hokey-pokey”’ bug, and vainly submitted his amendment supply- ing the unfortunate deficiency. Cutter wanted to know something about “hokey- gokey” and Dickinson suggested it mngt ave some relation to ‘“keno,” but it was ?hln the Senators had not rum against he game. Senator Rowell moved to strike out that portion which exempts race tracks from the prohibition clause, saying if poolseil- ing is bad anywhere it is equally so everywhere. Gillette supported him and Curtln seemed to favor a general prohi- bition or none. but the amendment fol- lowed its predecessors. Then Ashe tried again by adding a little to RowelVs pre- vious amendment. His effort was voted down. Stratton moved to add a few words allowing_ poolselling on ‘Fabiola day” in Oakland, but again the noes had it. Curtin submitted an amendment allow- ing sixty days' racing, instead of thirty. It was a new tack and the Senate rose io the bait. Leavitt, however, declared if racing was bad it should be stopped aito- gether, but Boyce saw the claw in the catspaw and said it was right and proper to begin by degrees, and when he found the enemy opposing anything he believed t was good. Ashe favored the amend- ment, but Jones grew voluble again, and said it would on ive more time for harm. He thought harm enough could be_done in thirty days. Wolfe wanted the time extended even beyond sixty days, for he said under tnat limit it would not pa bring their horses out here. Braunhart offered an amendment to the amendment mlkh'fi it forty-five days in- of sixty. was lost, Then the sixty day amendment was voted on and lost. It was 12 o'clock and the Senate had to adjourn for the joint ballot, so Braunhart’s_bill, still unamended, was laid aside.

Since | Governor Gage repudiated the contracts | that were entered into in good faith by Governor Budd each day in both houses has seen a flood of claims come in for enactment and they have all been re- ferred the committees mentioned. To-night the committee decided to seg- regate the claims authorized by Gover- nor Budd from those not so authorized and give them first consideration. It fur- ther announced that it would probably scale all the claims down to a large ex- tent whether they were authorized or not. In reply to this rather remarkable and arbitrar{' proposition a representative of The Call stated that The Call would ac- cept the full amount of its claim or noth- ing. He said that either the claim was legal or it was not. Cu(élng it down from the regular rate charged would certainly not legalize it. If it was illegal, then The Call did not want a penny of it, but if it was it wanted the full amount, or it would take the privilege of testin, the courts whether legitimate and author- ized claims against the State could be ar- bitrarily scaled. He finished by asking as a favor that the committee recommend that the bill be not passed. From a representative of the Examiner it is learned that that journal will take the same course, and will decline to ac- cept any but the amount charged in its authorized claim, and it is understood that other of the large dallies of the State will pursue the same course. The committee will meet again to- morrow or Monday evening to resume the consideration of tl lccolntu before it.

The principal point in the measure is that instead of the Printing Office drawing its allowance from the State and distributing its work without check, each department must make its own estimate for printing, which will be allowed in its appropriation, and work done at the office will be charged up to the account of the department ordering the work. ‘he State Printer shall determine’ the chnr',e to be made for all g:lnun , ruling and binding, the price to sufficient to cover all costs of material and labor, but not taking into account the plant.

MAGNATES AT THE CAPITAL | MARKET-STREET MANAGER AND BRAUNHART DISAGREE. i The Senator’s Measure Denounced as a “Cinch” of the First Order. Adverse Report of the Assembly Committee. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 17.—E. P. Vining, manager | of the Market Street Railwa system, this evening accused Senator Braunhart of | having introduced Senate bill 72, the “fender bill,” for the sole purpose of forc- ing the Market street people and other railroad corporations to “put up.” Mr. Braunhart, in turn, accused Mr. Vining | of having circulated a printed statement to the effect that the two-and-a-half-cent fare ‘bill, intreduced by him two years ago, was a cinch’bill. Mr. Vining modest- 1y confessed”that this was so and Senator Braunhart waxed angry. Incidentally the Assembly committee on corporations, before which this edifying squabble took place, reported the bill back to the Assembly with the recommenda- tion that it do not pass. No matter for what purpose or with what bright hopes Braunhart really of- fered the bill, it has resulted in the gath- ering here of a powerful lobby. Mr. Vin- ing sent none of his minions nor an at- torney; he came himself to tell how it is that people get in front of his cars and are of a consequence killed, and of the virtuous intention of his company to equip in time all of its cars with life-saving fenders. The San Mateo and San Francisco line was represented by its secretary, William Clayton; the Oakland, San Leandro and Haywards line by its vice president and secretary, William J. Landers and S. B. McLanigan, and the San Jose and Santa Clara road by J. P. Burke. The bill which these men have come up here to defeat is in effect as follows: “No person, company oOr corpora- tion operating cars on the streets of cities or towns, or _on the county roads within the State, for the conveywnce of passengers, propelded by means of wire ropes attached to tionary engines, or by electricity or com- pressed air, shall run, operate or use-any car or dummy unless each car and dummy, while in use, shall have a suit- able fender or appliance placed in front or attached to the trucks of such duramy or car, for the purpose of removing and clearing cbstructions from the track and preventing any obstacles, obstructions or person on the track from getting under said dummy or car and remove the same out of danger and out of the way of said dummy or car. And no person, company or corporation operatingcarson the streets of cities or towns or on the county roads within the State for the conveyance of ‘passengers shall run, operate or use any such car unless each car, while in use, shall be fitted with a brake capable of bringing such car to a stop within a rea- sonable distance.” 5 The exception taken to it by the trans- Potnattlondpfiaple is lthnt “t is \l’ague in its ntent an s requirements. In speaki of this Mr. Clayton saidy p iad My first objection to Senate bill 72 is that it is so vague and at the same time S0 arbitrary in some of its.conditions that 1 do not believe it possible for any rail- road to comply with it. The bill practi- cally states that all street raillway cars must have a fender which will prevent the wheels from injuring a person who may be struck by a car. Our failure to provide a fender as called for by -this bill could, under a statute, be very unfairly construed as negligence upon our part. Take a supposititious case: A boy plays ball in the street. He runs suddenly in front of the car, eight or ten feet away, trips, falls flat and in such a position to make it impossible for the fender to ck him up. He is run over by the car. oth his legs are crushed and subsequent ly amputated. He recovers, but is erip- pled for life. If we had a fender on the car that fulfilled the conditions imposed that statute, which it especially states shall be of a character suitable to prevent the car from running over a person, most certainly the boy would not have lost his legs. Consequently, our failure to provide such a fender is negligence and it is due to that negligence on our part that the ‘were cut off.” boy’s lv! B Mr. Vining sald practically the same thing. He said that no fender had yet been invented that would in every case protect a person from being ground under the wheels; that his company was con- stantly experimentin, and spending mnngdy in trying to find a fender that would, There is the strongest incentive, he said, for every company to put Iife- saving fenders on its cars, from the fact that they would save thousands of dollars each year in damage suits. Besides all this, Mr. Vining asserted that not one of the scores unfortu- nates who have been sacrificed on his road was killed by the negligence of the com- &nny. “Not one person who has been lled,” he said, ‘‘was in possession of all his faculties. ~They were all in 1) in some particular. They either had fits in front of the cars, or were crippled, or blind, or drunk, or had bad teeth, or were otherwise rendered liable to being. run into and over by a car going at full speed.”- Senator Braunhart came down from the Senate, which was In evening session up- stairs, to put in & counter argument, but his_ dislike for Vining, tyeux--da‘u.ul so& thl: t“?“t nd.n.:nl h; urned on the rket street magnate ane gn.vl.nx ch‘cula‘tgea in the | only BUDD'S APPO withdrawn all the appointments made the Senate by him on January 3 last. publicans also. his purpose or his reasons. on the Board of Regents ‘of the State Dickinson will not be reappointed The list of removals is as follows: Benjamin F.

Dockweiler San Diego, trustees of the San Diego last Legislature and through the State circulars to the effect that his 2ls-cent fare bill of two years ago was nothing more nor less than a cinch. Vining admitted that he had done so, and said he thought the bill under con- sideration_was introduced for the same purpose. He said Mr. Braunhart had an unsavory reputation for introducing cinch measures and he gave him to understand that in this case it would not work. Braunhart could not restrain his natural indignation and replied to Mr. Vining somewhat in kind. Chairman Raub was compelled to rap time and again for order, but Braunhart grew more violent and finally struck the hearts of every one present quickly for his back pocket. Chairman Eaub instinctively dodged, but the irate Senator only pulled a pocket handkerchief, mopped his brow and short- ly returned to the Senate. The commit- fee went into executive session and de- cided that Braunhart's bill was vague ough to warrant a recommendation of o not pass,” and it was so ordered.

Caminetti did not comprehend the phil-. osophy of Judge Dibble’s “special urgency file;” he did not understand why his bills stood still on the second reading file and the measures of others jumped all round them. . He asked why it was that certain bills were taken from the second reading file and placed at the end of the special urgency file where they. were not. reached, and then returned to the same place on terror to by reachin; | | WITHDRAWN BY GAGE Many State Offices, Now Held crats, Will Be 6iven to Republicans.
