All doubt as to the identity of the men who attempted to crack the safes in the Brooks-Follis Ilectrical Company’s office and the office of the Pacific Rolling Miils on Mission street recently was removed sterday when Marshal Chubbuck of Chico came to the city and showed Cap- tain Seymour some of the tools found in the valises of Clarence French and Charles Tessier, the ex-convicts arrested there for burglary. Most of the tools had been stolen from the Pacific Tool and Supply Company, First and Mission streets, but others were identified as having been stolen from the Brooks-Follis Company and the Pacific Relling Mills Company at the time of the attempts to crack their safes, Seymour is also satisfled that the two men broke open the safe at the grocery on Fifth and Mission streets, as the marks on the safe and doors fit the tools found upon them. ey were held to answer Friday for the burglary of a hardware | store in.Chico and are now in the Oroville jafl awaiting their trial, but if they are not convicted Seygour will bring them here, as he has at least three good cases against them. ———— A Crazy Party. The members of Mission Rebekah Lodge had a novelty in the social line last night in the nature of a crazy party. The lodge room was decorated with"erazy quilts and fanciful designs in paper and vegetables. The members were all attired in most fan. tastic robes and gowns, and as they moved in the grand march, led by the noble grand, Mrs. Watsen, and Dr, Muchmore, they presented one of the mdst grotesqué assemblages that has ever been seen with- in a lodge room. The committee on awards decided that the noble grand and Mrs, A, J. Willlston were the crazlest looking of the lot and gave each an order for two dozen photographs, In addition to danc- ing there was a short programme of liter- ary numbers and songs. This lodge will hold an o) meeting on the 24th to enter- tain the friends of members, His Leg Broken by Bale of Hay. Charles B. Classen while piling up hay in the shed belonging to Charles E.

Interesting Resume of Onsesin Which Attorney-General Has Been In- terested—Important Opin- ions Discussed. Attorney General Tirey L. Ford has sub- mitted to the Governor his biennial re- port covering the work of the office of Attorney General from September 1, 1893, to September 1, 1900. In his letter of trans- mission accompanying his report the At- torney Geheral calls attention to the im- mense volume of business transacted by his office during the last two yvears. ‘The civil business of the office has 8rown to unusual proportions and covers an exceedingly wide range. Out of be- tween elghty and ninety civil cases pend- ing the Attorney General specially refers to a number of the most important ones, among which are the Stanford inheritance tax case, wherein some $250,000 was saved to the school fund of the State; Sponagle vs. Curnow, involving the msanity law of the bond tax case, involving thn right of the State to tax bonds of, rail- road and other quasi public corporations; Yolo vs. Colgan, involving about a mil- Yon and a half dollars claimed by tic various counties against the State; peopie vs. Wells, Fargo & Co., involving the right of the express compiny to demana the l-cent revenue from e: shipper for each package forwarded b express; peo- ple vs. Curry, involving the submission of amendments; Smith vs, olving taxes of 'Atlantic and ad Company; Railroad Con.- Market = Sireet Railway . Involving jurisdiction of the Commission " over streel rali- ,_in Railr roads; Railrpad Commissioners vs. South- | ern Pacific Company, known as the “‘Fres- no rate case,” involving authority of the Raflroad Commission to prevent the rais- | Ing of rates previously lowered for com- petitive purposes, and a number of others, Continuing the Attorney General says: These casés will serve to illustrate the varlety and magnitude of the civil 1itigu and there are never less than eighty or ninety cases pend- {Ing—in which the interests of the State are represented by this office The task which is allotted to this office will | be the better appreciated when it is remembered that in the foregoing o many others, we were compelled to cont against the yower of private and corporate wealth and the 6kill and learning of the leaders of the Cali- fornia bar. therefor which has come to the S » matters is exceed- | irgly gratifying.

Concerning ‘“‘opinigns and the Attorney General say During the twenty months ending September 1900, 1 have wnju'n 420 opinions, an average a day, holidaye. e opinions were written in re- £ponse to requests therefor from the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Controller, Treasurer, the Surveyor General, the Superin- 1, tendent of Public Instruction, the Clerk of the Supreme Court, the Adjutant General, the Bank Commissioners, the Fish Commissioners, the Labor Commissioner, the State Dairy Bureau, the trustees of the State Normal schools, a number of district agricultural assoclations, the State Board of Pharmacy, the Board of Rallroad Commissioners, the State Board 'of Fqualization, - the State Board of Education, the Board of State Harbor Commissioners, the Harbor Commilssioner of the Port of Eureka, the State Board of Fxaminers, the wardens of the State prisons, the State Board of Health, the Highway Commissioners, the Home for Feeble-minded, the Pilot Commissioners, the Port Warden ¢ Diego, the Preston School of Industry, the Whittier State School, the Vet- erans’ Home, the State Printing Office and of the fifty-seven District Attorneys in the State. The ‘opinions thus rendered ‘cover the many 3 } and complicated questions constantly arising in | his work u the administration of the affairs of a great and growing State. Statutory construction has en- tered into much of thie branch of the work constitutional questions have mot infre- ully one-fourth of the work of erea by the preparation and transmission of opinions. The work of the Attorney General upon the State Board of Examiners is set forth, showing action upon some ten thousand separate claims,- involving a little over seven and a half millions of dollars; also on the State Commission in the State Board of Military not to say novel, feature of the Lunacy an Auditor A ne report consists of the reports of forty out | of the fifty-seven District Attorneys of the State. Concerning these the Attorney General says: Some Interesting statistical data are derivable from these reports, and a reading of them will disclose a hfghly satisfactory condition in_this branch of the State's service. It will be noted that out of a total of over 2300 felony prosecutlons in the forty countfes from which reports have been received less than 13 per cent of them resulted in acquittals. As illustrative of the vast amount of work devolving upon his clerical help, which he states is inadequate, the Attor- ney General says: During the twenty months ending September , 190, the clericai force of this office wrote 4817 officlal communications, and 420 opinions, the latter alone covering some 2000 pages of typewritten matter. Additional coples of opin- fons have been made to the extent of about 500 pages. Some-fifty briefs- have been writ- ten in clvil cases, involving, In the aggregate, ahout 1200 pages, and elghty briefs have been written in criminal cases, involving about 800 pages. In addition to the above, there h: been the stenographic work ineident to th large mass of civil business constantly pend- ind, which is never less than 85 cases. The Attorney General concludes as fol- lows: In conclusion, I beg to state that the work of this office is all current and that it h been my policy to constantly keep it so. This at times has been difficult, particularly in view of the lack of clerical assistance, but by methodical and systematic arrangement we have prevented any of the work from lagging behind. T desire to further add’ that the gratifying results herein briefly suggested could not have been accomplished but for the cordial and ener- getic atd of able and industrious assistants. I cannot here well refer in detail to the work of those® with whom 1 have been officially as- soclated during the twenty months past, but 1 desire to make this public acknowledgement of my deep and abiding sence of gratitude for thelr loyal and earnest support and their un- tiring efforts to make the work of this office a success. . ——— A Trust Sale in Shoes At the Bee Hive shoe store—a great sale is now in force.

The event was very suc- cessful. Miss Bobbie Newton Jones, daughter of Governor Jones of Arkansas, christened the monitor as it started down | the ways. In addition to Governor Jones | and a party of Arkansans, there were | present Governor Tyler of Virginia, a large party of naval officers and a number of invited guests. | The monitor Arkansas is the first of a type developed by the American navy, for | not since the days of the Civil War has a single turreted monitor been constructed. | The Arkansas will have as sister ships | the Florida and the Wyoming and a | third, which was to have been the Con- necticut, still unnamed. These are known as harbor defense monitors, and while | small will have large accommodations for | crews for vessels of their size, and also | be for the use and instruction of the na- | val militia. ! The Arkansas is ‘to cost not more than | $1,500,000 complete. The designs. were pre- pared by Chief Constructor Hichborn and provide for a single balance turret of the Hichborn l_\‘i)e on the center Ilne forward, with an inclined top. and made of steei | nine inches thick. This turret will con- tain two of the new high power I12-inch breech-loading rifles. Besides this arma- ment, the Arkangas will carry four 4-inch rapid-fire guns, three é-pounders and four | 1-pounders. A 'special effort was made to secure light draft for this formidable type of vessel, s0 the Arkansas when compiete will draw only 12 feet 6 inches of water | on a displacement of 323 tons, enabling | her to slip into any harbor open to sea- | going shipring. even fnches of steel | armor protects the sides above the water | line, and there is a protective deck for ! the full length of the vessel 1} inches | thick. Twin screw engines will drive the | monitor at & maximum_ speed of eleven | knots, amply sufficlent for a harbor de- | fense vessel, and electricity will be em- ployed for turret turning gears, ammuni- | tion hoist, ventilating apparatus and all the secondary machinery. All the wood in the vessel s fire proof. Unlike the o1d | type of monitors, the Arkansas will have staterooms above deck for the officers and crew, but the superstructure been so designed that it will not affect the ship should the superstructure be destroyed in action, thus retaining the virtue of the | monitor principle. — STEINBISS SAYS STRIKES i ARE NOT FAILURES | President of the National Building Trades Council Testifies Before Industrial Commission.
