HEADQUARTERS, CALL SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 5.—Grove L. Johnson was called to the stand before the Investi- gating Committee of the Assembly to tell why he had introduced his resolution providing for the inquiry into the affairs of the Paris Commission. “I have no personal knowledge of the doings of the commission in Paris—none whatever,” was the burden of his “‘s“'l mony. He said he had read in the newspapers | statements purporting to be interviews with persons who had been there, letters purporting to come from officials, and | statements of persons who had received medals without making any exhibits, and he believed there was need of an investi- gation. “And I still think so,” he added. Johnson said he had letters telling him of some of the doings of the Commission- ers, and a man named P. Keegan, who lived in Santa Rosa, had told him more. He was not asked for his letters, and the committee contented itself with taking | down the name of T. P. Keegan. There was little progress made in the investigation y. Emlay was not present, and as he was due to appear yes- | terday it was deemed time to notify him \ 10 show up or a sergeant at arms would be sent after him. Attorney General Tirey L. Ford had' been asked to render his opinion as to what ‘‘traveling expenses’’ were when ap- plied to the Paris Commissioners. His opinion was that the Commissioners were entitled to hotel expenses and living ex- penses, as well as transportation. The Attorney General sald of “traveling ex- penses’ ‘This language, 0 far as I have been able to learn, has never been confined in its meaning to rallroad fares or other actual cost of trani rtation, but has, 1 belleve, been uniformly Bola"to Tnclude the actual necessa: living = | penses of the officer while traveling in performance of his officlal duty, ll‘ld when such officer is compelied to absent himself from his home and proceed to some point more or less distant therefrom and there to remain temporarily in the performance of his official duties, his actual necessary living expenses while thus performing his dutles have alway been deemed included within the appropriation made for “actual traveling expenses.” 1 e, therefore, of the opinion that in mak- fon in question the Legisla- ture used the rase [‘actual travelink e: penses”” in the sense in’ which that prase has een heretofore employed and understood In this State, and that, following the language of your communication, the Commissioners were entitled to_their actual necessary lving ex- penses in Paris while actually engaged in tl discharge of their officlal duties as such Com. misgioners. Gaskill and Runyon were the only wit- nesses of the day, both being called - to answer questions regarding the accounts of the commission. The interesting rgalm brought out by Gaskill was that Runyon paid the same rice for the medals he got that Em- ay says he pald, and that he got them from the same place. Gaskill also ex- plained the contract to sell the Davidson specimen by saying that the 10 per cent | mentioned was to £0 to any one who would sell the specimen for $5000.

It is a measure introduced by Lukens, and provides that the amounts of all final judgments of a municipality, to be rendered or now existing, must be added to the tax levy and paid within a year. The bill is general in character, but its application will enable the cred- itors of San Francisco, who have been trying to get their money for four years, to_be paid. There is outstanding agatnst San Fran- cisco judgments {n favor of merchants a month's salary and more due to the teachers. | These have been partially provided for by a constitutional amendment adopted at the last election, but it is believed this borders so closely on special leglslation ome hesitation in taking advantage of it.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 5.—Resolutions from the Mileage Committee relating to the ex- | pense of junketing trips came in with such frequency at the Assembly meeting this morning that Chairman Fisk of the Ways and Means Committee entered a vigorous protest against the dissipation of -the contingent fund in that manner. “How long is this sort of thing going to last?” asked Fisk. “I am not objecting to these particular resolutions, for-the Assembly authorized these trips. But where is it going to stop? I ask it for information, because the contingent fund is getting very low.’ No one was able to tell him where the end would be, for various committees have ambitious plans for trips. Among them is the Committee on Commissions and Public Expenditures, for which Chairman Bliss is trying to get through a resolution which will enable it to visit all the insti- tutions in the State with which commis- sions have any connection whatever. (Ihe Mileage Committee reported favor- ably upon the claims of the State Erisons Reformatories Committee for $900 ror its trip to the Whittler State School; the Committee on Commerce and Na»ln» tlon for 3126 for its trip to Francisco to view the proposed free market site, and of the Public Bulldings and Grounds Committee for $1370 40 for its visit to the San Diego and Los Angeles State Normal * The Henate.tash inted Flint, T e Senate to-da: nf yr- rell '0f Nevada, Sims, Prunkett, Maggard and Bettman a committee to visit the Preston School of industry to report to the Finance Committee upon the pending apprcprladnn bills for its aid. PLAN TO DISPOSE OF COYOTE SCALP CLAIMS Senate Finance Committee Deter- mines to Let the Courts Pa: Upon Them. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. b.—Seeing numbers of coy- ote scalp bills coming in from all sides, the Senate Finance Committee has ap- plied drastic measures to the situation and has Mtroduced a bill as a substitute for all the coyote scalp bills already in, and containing all other claims likely to come in. The substitute provides that the owners of claims n.rluini under the coyote scalp bounty act of may, within twelve months from the ' of the bill, bnns suit against tr‘smte for the same. t shall be the duty of the Attorney Gen- ernl to defend all such suits, and upon his demand_the place of trial may be changed to Sacramento. All costs are to be ;inld by the plaintiffs, and no interest shall be alio may recover their money is under con- sideration by the Senate Judiciary Com- 1t is provided that any judgments re. covered against the Su{e "Ihlll paid by the Controller out of an -wrm..uun of §287,615 made by the bill, provided that not more than one-half of the amount appropriated shall be paid in any one fis- cal” year. Senator Smith of Kern, chairman of the Finance Committee, says the amount ap- propriated covers all the coyote scalp claims that are known to exist. Instead of undertaking to pass upon the validity of all the claims presented in the form of bills, the committee’s substitute meas- ure simply provides frJr an adjudication in the courts. —_———— Welcome to Epworth Leagues.

CARSON, Nev., Feb. 5.—In the As- sembly to-day an eight-hour law was passed. The bill makes it unlawful for any miner, millman or men employed in reduction works to work more than elght hours.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 5.—The Elections Commit- tees of the Senate and As iy held a Jjoint meeting to-night and discussed the general features of the primary election bills that are in the hands of the two ¢om- mittees. The authors of. several of the bills ‘were present and defended the pet features of their measures. The committees decided to refer the bills to a Joint sub-committee, consisting of the following members: Senators Devlin, Cutter and Davis, and Assemblymen Mac- beth, Carter and Sheridan. The authors of the bills will submit abstracts, and this sub-committes will draft a bill embody- Ing what it considers the best features ot all of them and will report to a joint meeting of the two committees. The meeting to-night also decided upon certain general propositions as to the form of the law to be framed, as follow: First—The law shall ' not_ be strictly mandatory, but in the case of sparse local population, where the expense might be too great, it shall be optional. Second—Election officers shall be chosen by Election Commissioners, Boards of Su- pervisors or similar responsible bodles. Third—There shall be but one baliot-box for all parties. Fourt Then shall be separate ballots for the parti Fifth—The nmu-y elections for all p ties shall be held at the same time, at lhe same polling place and in the same man- ner ax Popper, T. Carl Spelling and Mar- un' Kelly were present and took part in the discussion. AsSemblyman James ex- &alned his plan to make the use of the innesota. plan of direct vote for nom- ination of candidates optional. Martin Kelly referred with pride to the two bills which he had drafted and had introduced by Assemblyman Franklin. He spoke of the difficulty presented by the constitutional provision that all dele- gates to State conventions must be chosen at prmaries, claiming that any primary law musi be mandatory so far as State conventions were concerned. Spelling said that these difficulties, a; pearing so_vividly to his friends, Kelly and Sam Rainey, would be cleared up easily by the subcommittee. Spelling went into the matter of test of party afiliation. He said the test applied bv the Cutter bill was no_test at all and utterly absurd. Max Popper belleved the test applied should be simple, and he considered that embodied in the Johnson bill about right. “He cut that out of my bill bod said Senator Cutter. ere §s nothing in your bill thnt bears the Slightest resemblance to the test in the Johmson bill,”" retorted Spelling, who is the author of the bill introduced by Johnson. It is evident that the legislators will find their most difficult problem to be that of devising a test of party affiliation that will prevent the members of one party voting for delegates to the opposition party’s convention. Unless that be done any new law that may be f’"”d will meet the fate of the Stratton law when ft reaches the State Supreme Court. ile problem is no nearer solution to- day than it was when the joint conference committee memni‘ at the Union League clubrooms in San Franciseo gave it up in despair. REJECTION OF " SUTRO'S PROPOSED AMENDMENT | Assembly Votes Down Proposition to | Give Counties Power to Adopt Charters. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 5.—Sutro’s Assembly con- stitutional amendment No. 10, giving to counties the power to adopt charters on the plan of municipal freeholders char- ters, was defeated in the Assembly this | morning. Its author changed his vote in | ider. Sutro defended the innovation as belng a method of giving to the interfor coun- ties of the State equal rights of_self-gov- | ernment with San Francisco. Brown of | San Mateo and Dunlap opposed the amendment as being a dangerous innova- | tion, violating the theory of government in California by which uniform govern- ment prevalls in the varfous counties. Melick defended the measure, and said that the constitutional convention not only established uniform county govern- ment but uniform municipal government as avell. Sincegthen individual charters had been framed for municipalities, and as the change had worked well in that direction its test in county governments | was desirable. He sald our present sys- tem was very expensive and cited the ex- ample of Los Angeles, whose county gov- | ernment costs $5000 more per annum than the State government of Minnesota.
