ALL RAMENTO, Feb. 1.—The inves- tigation into the affairs of the Paris Cofmmission opened this afternoon with Willlam H. Mills on the stand. His testimony was and there was not much that he ished to tell that he did not get before the committee. Among a great many other things, he said he has seen exhibits at the State fair in Sacramento that were better than the exhibit of the: United | States at the World's Fair in Paris, *He declared that a collective exhibit, such as was made, was of little value to the ate, and after saying that an exhibit hout some one on hand to explain it was practically withoutgalue, went on to add that he never saw any wi | one connected with the exhibit anywhere it . Mills helped out the commission by saying he was in favor of establishing headquarters, but when Filcher came to | the stand after Mills had been excused and told how he had to give his card to a colored boy before he was allowed to enter, the headquarters question resumed former level. An earnest endeavor HEADQUARTERS, SAC-|bétween Mills and the commission, and Mills gave one reason—the row over the exhibit of the Southern Paciflo—but when he was pressed for more details he would g0 no further. | “I have relegated the whole business to | the mental vultures who revel in the car- | rion of scandal,” he said, and this seemed | to_satisfy the committee. Mills was careful to make no charges against the Commissioners, although he | hesitated not at all to e their exhibit | was no good and much too costly. He | does not approve of the French Govern- ment, and said 80, and told how Miglia- | vacca, a wine man ‘of Napa, had shown Lim a blank form {n which he was asked to fill in the character of his exhibit, its | class, etc,, percentage and the award he | wished it to have. | Mills belfeved if the matter had been | properly handled this State could have | obtained a collective exhibit. Had the | Commissioners agreed to surrender all the | ce allowed to California in return for e for a collective exhibit, he thought such a scheme might have gone through. Treadwell wished to know if the collec- tive exhibit of the Bouthern Pacific was allowed to compete fof prizes, and Mills 1d it had not. Then Treadwell asked | if the California exhibit could have com- | peted for prizes if a collective exhibit had | been made, and Miils said he could noll Special Dispatch to The Call. and California a State. Mills was then asked how the Southern Pacific exhibit compared with that of California, and he said there could have n no comparison. The Southern Pa- cific’s exhibit was larger and more com- plete and covered everything the State exhibit covered and more, too. “We showed everything the State pro- duces,” sald Mr. Mills, “whether the arti- cles be produced in commercial quantities or not. This was done not only to show the existing conditlops, but the possibili- ties of the State.”” Mills was asked what was the cost of the Southern Pacific’s exhibit, and he said the total expense amounted to $32,000, and in this was included $7000 fog office Yents, 1000 for furnishings and fittings, $4000 for a pavilion, $2000 for duty, $2000 for.installa- tion and $5600 for collection. The Califor- nia exhibit, he said. should not have cost more than $10,000, with $2600 more to in- stall it. The questions then turned upon head- quarters, and Mills was asked what he thought of the advisability of having headquarters at all. He said such a plan was a good one, for, while the exhibit was for visitors, an office was a place to which merchants could be Invited and there informed of the commercial possi- bilities of the State. “Did you have any wine there?” askcd bottles of wine to Paris, but from th had to take enough for an exhibit.” 'Did you serve this to visitors?’ “‘Yes, we served samples of wine to deal- ers and those who showed they were fam- | iliar with the sampling of wine. We pre- | ferred discussing the wine as a product | rather than drinking it as a drink.'’ ““And did you make any special effort at entertainment?’ “Nr. we preferred to put the pfoduct= of the State on exhibition, not the people | who were exhibiting them.” | Then Mills was asked what he had'sold his exhibit for and ne said what was sold | brought $2i00. It was sold to many deal- | ers, not to one. He was asked what he thought of $460 as & selling price for an exhibit and he sald that for such an hibit as the commissioners made $460 was a very good price. He said, further, that the State exhibit was poor in every de- partment except that of mining, the min- eral exhibit having been made up by the State Mining Bureau. Then Stewart was given an opportuni to ask why Mills had not visited the.Cai- ifornia headquarters. Mills declined to | answer because he said it was a personal matter, but when Siewart insisted on the question Mills said that when the Com- missioners tried to prevent the good his cempany intended to do for the State he believed their was unwise, un- is we | querters. X “That was my opinion then,” he con- cluded, *‘and that is my opinion now.” Mills' disciatmed any prejudice against the California commission, and denied that he had written one word about the Paris Exposition, except what had been published over his own signature, excefl a recent editorfal in the Record-Union, in which he decried tue effort to make the controversy a personal one between him and the Commissioners. James A. Filcher, manager of the State Board of Trade, told how the Hamburz exhibit, which was nearly as large and quite as good, opinion, as the State exhibit at Parls, cost the State but $550. He reiterated a great deal that Mills had said. Joseph D. Graphic was sworn, Lynch of the Western He said he had writ- B ten the editorials h had appeared in the Graphie and i them upon in- formation he ved from letters Truman had written to him. He submitted some of these lett and they were re- ceived by the committee. The principal one contained 1 of questions submitted to Gaskill, Foote.and Runyon. These the committee has decided not to make public. Lynch was the only witness so far ex- amined who has had a good word to say for Truman. Mr. Foote has been very ill with a se- couse was made by the committeemen to find | tell, the cases not being parallel—the | Treadwell. : patriotic snd contemptible and that was | vcre cold. He left for ~his home this out what had engendered bitter feelings Southern Pacific was a commercial body ‘“'Yes,” replied Mills; *“we brought 2000 why he did not go near the State head- | afternoon. oo 3 g B i i o e B RS 5 L LLS SANCTIONED BY GOVERNOR GAGE MEET BITTER OPPOSITION ON THE PART OF A MINORITY IN THE ASSEMBLY ADQUARTERS, SACRA- Feb. 1.—Assembly bills and 5, Introduced by Speaker Pendleton in pursuance of the policy of Governor Gage to- the i sent out by the Treasury ey to investigate Ith conditions, were the cause of the most bitter fight this morning that has et taken place In the Assembly during L For almost three hours Johnson, with the majority of the mem- bers behind him, fought to rush the bills through as = urgency measures, with James, Cowan, Brown of San Mateo and others secking to have the bills take the regular course, at least to the extent of reterence to committees. Johnson himself made the concession of allowing the first bill, 538, to g0 to the Judiciary Committee, to be reported on Monday and made a speclal order for Tuescay. This concession was made by Johnson because he was forced to confess io Laird that the clause in section 2 of the bill, which makes the writing or printing of an assertion even that Asiatic cholera or bubonic plague “‘has recently existed” a felony, was unconstitutional. The other bills—559, making it the duty of local boards of health to report sus- pected cases of the cholera or d;)las'ue to the State Board of Health, and empow- ering the latter to take possession of the body of a living or the corpse of a de- ceased person which has had such dis- ease, and 560, appropriating $100.000 for the investigation of health affairs—were finally foreed through to a special order for to-morrow morning immediately after the reading of the journal. The consideration of the bills, all on the file as special order, was deferred to 11 o'clock, as the bills were not on the mem- bers’ desks. _Shortly before 11 o’clock James opened the contest by offering a resolution authorizing the appointment py the Speaker of a committee of five to in- vestigate and report to the Assembly whetler or not piague had existed in Cali- fornia. He claimed that members could not vote intelligently on the bills proposed until they had personal knowledge of the facts around which the controversy be- tween the Federal quarantine service and the local officials had raged. Schlesinger and Cowan spoke.in favor of the resolu- tion, but on motion of Knight the resolu- tion” was tabled. Johnson offered a resolution declaring the measures urgency bills and providing that they should be given the second ana third readings immediately. A long par- liamentary contest ensued, in the course of which Melick and the Speaker clashed. The Speaker had ordered members to their seats, with a veffl evident direction of his command Melick. Later Melick demanded that m rs who were work- ing among the Assemblymen In the Int ests of Pendleton’s bllls be treated in the sanl:rdmner. 5 a "I do not remember,” said the Speak “to have addressed any ruling to you. and your remarks are entirely uncalled for ané irregular.” 5 The incident passed, but after the ad- Jjournment the two men had some words that started the rumor about the that they had come to blows. aiint Johnson's resolution to deciare the bills urgency measures finally came to a vote, | ceived the necessary two-thirds majority. There was a zoll call, followed by a call 1 of the house, and the clerks took ten min- utes to figure out the result, whtle John- son was scurrying about trying to squeeze | out a few more affirmative votes. One member changed from no to aye, and Walker of Santa Clara promptly changed from aye to no. The Speaker, Johnson and the clerks gave up in despair, and Pendleton announced the vote 5 to 27 and declared the mction lost, as it had not rP-i Melick offered a Tesolution striking out section 2 of hill 558, which makes it a felony to write or print any report of Asiatlc cholera or bubonic plague until the State Board of Health has declared it to exist and such declaration has been entered in its minutes, ‘I may be talking against a stone wall,” said Melick, “in view of certain commu- nications and certain demands made upon members here, but I hope this amendment will be accepted. This section strikes at the very root of the freedom of speech and of the press. Moreover, it will be in- effective, because we cannot control pub- Hcations outside the State, where- the real commercial Injury is inflicted in such cases." James favored the amendment. He sald the objectionable section absoultely re- versed the rules and regulations of every local Board of Health, making a felony of what {s now its duty. Cowan made the point that a physician was liable now to lose his license to prac- tice for fallure to report a case of con- taglous disease. If this bill became a law he would be guilty of a felony if he did. ““This bill,”” Laird said, “goes much far- ther than the severest legislation we have. San Francisco might have the plague on every street, yet if one man warned an- other away he would be guilty of felony. And if the State Board of .Health shouid refuse to act or to enter its decision n | the minutes it would continue to be fel- | ony. More, the blll ig retroactive and makes it a' felony to write or print that the plague has recently existed.

Brown of San Mateo opposed such action and said the bills interfered in a province in which the Federal qua:- antine was supreme. “They have no more to do with Federal quarantine,” retorted Johnson, “than the %Fm of lveg.us has r.g dq‘ym: a base- e In Sacramento. day un- tola Snillions ‘are lost to.

This fact will be the basis for a controversy to-mor- Tow morning. The members of the oppo- sition will contend that the speclal order does not stand, In spite of the Speaker' ruling, and that bills passed in result of such ruling would lack validity. Speaker Pendleton admits that he made his ruling in full knowledge that the vote was not adequate, not considering it his duty t» do a problem in long division to determine if the vote presented a two-thirds major- ity. The ruling once made and passed without protest, he claims, is final and gives the bills place as special ord SENATE T;KES ACTION ON NUMEROUS BILLS Cutter’s Measure for the Repeal of the Purity of Election Law Is Denied Passage.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. ALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC- RAMENTO, Feb. 1—The two sets of bills for the ald of the University of California were thrashed over in a- meeting of the Senate Finance CUommittee to-hight. The discussion was long and ¢tarnest and the committee adjourned Without taking action to decide which #et it will recommend for passage. Setqtor Rowell defended his bills, es- tablishing direct Inheritance; naturaiiza- tion and Incorporation taxes, as against the bills introduced by Senator Lukens as the result of the conference between Governor. Gage and the Alameda County deiegation. Senator Smith of Kern stood with Dr. Rowell, but the other members, so far as opjnions were expressed, were all of the opinion that if any ald were to be given during this sesslon of the Legislature it must beé by such measures as the Lukens bills, since they alone meet the Governor's approval. Senator Smith took the ground that the burden of higher education ought to be borne by the classes able to avall them- selves of the luxury, of that education. Those classes were réached by such taxes as those imposed on direct inheritance and articles of incorporaticn. Senator Leavitt sald the idea that a biennial lobby for the university would be made necessary if the policy of direct appropriations were adopted was a mis- taken one. He agreed with the Governor that experimenting with revenue meas- ures was not to be thought of in provid- ing for the university's support. No one could give a reasonably accurate estimate of what revenue the Rowell bills would produce. Senator Davis spoke in the same vein. said the inheritance tax might get a nue beyond the reasonable needs of the university. Om the other hand he believed the tax on foreign corporations would yield very little. oth Davis and Lukens combated Smith’s idea that a higher education was a luxury to be enjoyed oniy by the well- to-do and wealthy. classes, contending that its advantages were enjoyed largely by young men and women from the hum- ble walks of life and that in the uni- versities . more truly than elsewhere no aristocracy of wealth existed. The Finange Committee did_not act upon the State Agricultural Park bill Some members of the committes visited the park to-day in company with friends of the measure, but the bill was not con- sidered at the meeting. INVESTIGATING NEEDS OF THE STATE OFFICERS Duty Allotted to the Sub-Committees by the Senate Finance Committee. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.—As a means of facllitating its work, the Senate Fimance Jommittee has decided to allot to various sub-committees the task of Investigating the needs of the State officers and insti- tutlons whose income is supplied by the general appropriation bill. e sub-com- mittees will work independently, but their conclusions will be reviewed by the com- mittee as a whole before final action.

ADVERTISEMENTS. AT FIRST GLANCE. It Would Appear That Local Reme- dies Would Be Best for Cure of Catarrh. It would seem at first glance that catarrh, being a disease of the mucous membrane, salves, sprays, etc., being applied directly to the membranes of the nose and throat would be the most ra- tional treatment, but this has been proven not to be true. The mucous membrane {s made and ve- paired from the blood and catarrh is a blood disease and any remedy to make a permanent cure must act on the blood, and when the blood is purified from ca- tarrhal poison, the secretions from the mucous membrane will -become natural and healthy. In this climate thousands of people seem scarcely fver fres from some form of catarrh; it gets better at times, but “23 winter becomes y deeper seat. and after a time the sufferer resigns him- self to it as a necessary evil. Catarrh cures are almost as numerous as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all so inconvenient and ineffective as to remder their use a nuisance nearly &s anno; as catarrh ftsel one who has w douches, sprays and powders bear witness to their inconvenience and lure Iy cure. m’l“;x‘e‘x"eyare a number of excellent internal remedies for catarrh, but Jrobcbly the best and nnunéy“mcuw’;:t]hh-an.w ompose: o ol, ras- f;';f‘°;‘a§-'.gfa:aa‘;?. ard other valuable ca- h specifics.

They contain in a pleasant, concentrated rmm all the best and latest catarrh reme- El}es, and catarrh sufferers who have used douches, sprays and salves have been astonished at the quick rellef and perma- Dent results obtained after a week's use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.” AIll drug- gists sell full sized packages for 50 cents.
