Mr. Johnson’s resolution was a peremptory order to the Committee on Commissions and Public Expenditures to investigate every commission now fat- | duced no bills, made no recommendations or any report. The resolution has sim- ply had the effect of staving off legisla- tion against commissions, with the hope and trust that the committee would do its duty. Radcliff, who already has _introduced bills oblitérating the Bureau of Highways | and Board of Rallroad Commissioners saw through the job vesterday, and this morning offered the following resoluton which was adopted: . ‘Whereas, in the early part of this session of the Assembly a resolution was introduced by the Hon. Grove L. Johnson and referred to the | attempted with Assembly bill 839. Assem- iz | dered ye |t Committee on Commissions and Public Ex- penditures to report to this body what public commissione could be abolished, in accordance with the views expressed in Governor Gage's inaugural address; and whereas, this commit- ;fl"ha! failed to so act up to date. Therefore e it Resolved, That the Committee on Commis- sions and Public Expenditures be instructed to forthwith make a report in accordance to the demands made by sald resolution. Conrey of Los Angeles, chairman of the derelict committee, replied to Rad- cliff’s resolution with the statement that the committee had done nothing in the line of its instructions for the reason that there is a special commission now in the pay of the State to fulfill the same du- ties. The committee, he said, would re- port, but its report would amount to nothing, as it had done nothing. Mr. Conrey considered that his little state- ment settled the matter. but Melick and Radcliff did not concur with him. When the standing committees of the Assembly were being formed Melick of Pasadena, who came up here pledged to fight against unnecessary and expensive commissions, applied for the chairman- ship of the Commissions Committee. He was turned down by ex-Speaker Wright. | Radcliff, who came up here pledged the same way, Lxx‘)sflled for membership on the | ommitte e was turned down in the me positive manner by the same | Wright. Then Wright selected his _committee | with Conrey at its head, and just how well the committee has abided by the | spirit of its appointment is demonstrated in the fact that it h port brought in no re- | has simpl pursued the “lay | cy and permitted Grove John- | It itfon to have the desired ef- alling of any legislation nd to unload lot of well-| and overpaid Jjob- sers on the street adcliff does not propose to stop at his | resolution. He has a bill in course of con- | struction which designed to do the work the committee was instructed to do, and unless a satisfacto: report is ren- dered he will introduce it out of order. L DIBBLE JOCKEYS WITH PLACERVILLE “CINCH” BILL CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-! TO, March 7.—Except for the state- | t that it “was all a mistake” Assem- | Dibble is finding it hard to ex- plain the latest jockeying that has been bly bill 829 {s the measure introduced in the House by Dibble, as agent for Drury Melone, the Napa capitalist, and others who are attempting to cinch the city of Placerville to the tune of $240,000 by legis- | 1 ctment. first peculiar e er Dib) work was done when the bill was in the hands of the Ju- dic Committee. ‘The friends of the mi town went to him, explained the crooked intent of the measure, and he promised to let them know when It was to come up for consideration. Instead of | ke one e £ his word he got his bill through vening with recommendation that it do pass, and the first notice its opponents had of it was when it turned up with | that recommendation on the special file. Valentine of Los Angeles and Raw of Placerville demanded that he return it | to its proper place on the second read- ing file and then recommit to the Judi- | ciary Committee, and Dibble made warm | promises to do as directed. { His second promise proved of as much value as his_first, for, taking advantage | ne day of the absence of Valentine and v, hie stated from the chalr, to which | 1d be bill were willing it and final passage and upon the House passed it along. 1q openly accused him of t t 8ay, and Dibble, seeing he wa: ught, finally had the biil sent back to imittee oppos g Dri Dibble is favoring n called, that the opponents of | should go to third | his spoke against it Melone, whose interests explained his side of the proposition on’ the next. Of the two stories the committee chose that of the people of Placerville, and the majority recommended that the bill do not pass.

Then it was sent ove to the printing office and to-day the As sembly history came back with the stat. ment that the majority had recommended bill to pass. The misstatement in the history was at first laid to inadvertence on the part of the printer by the oppo- nents of the bill, but further investiga- | tion developed that the journal of yester- | day carried the same mistake. r. Raw immediately demanded an ex- planation of Dibble. but with a wave of hand the agent for Melone dismissed fu; ther interrogat with the simple stat ment that it was a mistake. Mr. John- son, and the other end of the umbilical cord that binds him to Dibble, also waved his hand and said ‘‘mistake. ponents of the bill went upstairs and dragged over the minutes of yesterday to see if there had been any interlinea tions. There were none; the report showed plainly that the recommendation of the majority was that the bfll should not Then the matter was called to the at- on of the Speaker by a motion_to ct both journal and history.

That is, the chance did not come to him—he created it when it came time to- take up the Wayvs and Means unfinished business file.

T. Currier, who has partially from his recent jliness, snent two hours in Los Angeles to-day on business. He left for his home in Spadra early in the m ages, bill went into the-discard. afternoon. The Senator will leave for acramento either on Wednesday or Thursday night. Senator Currier, = according to his friends, said but little regarding politics e Senatorlal embrogiio. Sl suffi- Clent has been learned from his Intimates to state with positiveness that under no circumstances would he vote for Burns, and, according to one who Is very close to Curtler, “there is not enough money ~in the kingdom to purchase the Benator's vote.” Although Bulla has been re- moved as a factor, Currier is known to still desire a Senator from the South, but whether he will throw his strength to Grant is not established. Currier has been heard to say that he admired Gen- eral Barnes very much, which gives that eloquent ~ gentleman’s ’friends here en- couragement that the Spadra Senator may support their choice.

If you remember, last week we had a sale of $5 and $8 all-wool suits, and our salesmen pronounced them the best values we had ever given for the money. To keep up the interest already cre- ated, we have selected a number of Suits and Overcoats that have always sold before for $12.50, and some even for $15, and marked them all down to $9.90. We will keep these Suits and Over- coats in repair for one year and not charge a cent for it, because we want to show you that we have entire faith in the garments. The suits are all-wool Cheviots, Tweeds and Cassimeres, sizes 34 to 44, thus covering nearly every one's size; there are about twenty different patterns of the suits in browns, grays, blacks and mixtures. Silk sewings are used, also Italian linings, some with linings of princess serge. Suits are made in our own workshop—we are responsible for every stitch. The overcoats consist of English Worsteds, Brown and Oxford Meltons, Coverts, Whipcords, Vicunas and Kerseys. Sleeves are silk lined; Italian cloth body linings. They are thoroughly and carefully made. Don't you feel very certain that they are all right when we keep them in repair free of charge for one year? CHILDREN'S CLO The boy is as fond of good clothes as his father, so why not have him clothed here, too? For this week we have some suits for $3.50. On the left is a picture of a middy suit for boys from 3 to 8 years. It is a tastefully trimmed little suit, has soutache on the collar, vest and sleeves; two pockets; some of the suits have buttoned sleeves, others plain. You will be pleased with it for the price. ~ The other picture is a reefer suit for boys from 4 to 10 years. This is the suit for the schoolboy. The colors are browns and grays in checks, plaids and stripes; material is all-wool and sewed to stay. Will lzst the boy wonderfully long for the price. Double-breasted suits, same as reefer assortment, but are for boys from 8 to 15. suits, in Boys' pants, ages 3 to 15, in about 40 patterns; made of remnants from our tailoring department; are all-wool, have taped seams, patent elastic waist- bands, strong pockets, three buttons on the knees, are half-lined; price 550 A PAIR: . .N.
