In reply to further questions, Cram sald that he had not paid the Chinese | to “put up a game for the gentlemen,” | and that, as a matter of fact, he (Cram) was able and had played in every fantan game in Chinatown. Mr. Knowland—I guess we don't want any more of you. The statement made by Cram to the po- lice Monday night and which he repudi- ated in court yesterday was as follows: | STATEMENT WHI e CRAM REPUDIATES Tells the Police That the Examiner Paid Himr to do Dirty Work. m; my age is 25.

In a word, the Programme measures that point of being passed with flashlight alac- { rity have become the subject of the bit- | terest contest of the session. While it has had a course not always | plain and smooth, still the bill appropria ing §100,000 to protect the State from va- grant bacilli had met no setback untll it | day. It emerged from a hot executlve | session after being beaten on a vote to recommend that it do pass. ‘The vote was a close one and was taken | only after arguments pro and con had | befogged the intellects of all the members | and they all went back to thelr original | ideas. here were thirteen members of | the committee present when it was| moved that the bill be favorably recom- mended.

Speaker Pendleton claims to-night that | the committee amendments were adopted | and he has ordered Assembly bill 558 en- | grossed and to third reading. The oppo- sition regards this action as most arbi- trary and asserts that the bills are still on the second reading file, regardless of what juggling may have taken place. It is certainly true that after the all-day | debate on Melick's amendment _the | Speaker made no query as to whether | fered and no announcement ordering the bill to engrossment and third reading. The opposition will contend that wha cver the fate of the committee amend- s the consideration of the bill is un- ss and amendments are order. Assembly bill 559, on special order this morning, was not considered at all. It the Speaker's action is upheld by the Assembly in the morning, there. will be no further consideration of bill 558 until it comes up for final passage, some days in the future. if It take the regular order, or poesibly Thursday if it be made a special order.

RALSTON IS OUTGENERALED BY SENATE COMMITTEEMEN CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 12.—The $150,000 miners’ ap- propriation bill has gone to the Governor and all the efforts of friends and enemies cannot bring it back. It has been fought persistently all through its course in both houses, the idea being that at all hazards it should be kept from going to the Gov- ernor and compelling him to sign or veto. The Governor has posed as the friend of the measure from the start, and his friends in both houses have been laboring hard to defeat it, so that the Governor would still have the credit of being its friend without adding its amount to the expenditures of his administration. 'llhl- action of the Assembly Committee on Mines vesterday stirred the friends of the measure in the Senate to actlon, and some very pretty parliamentary work was done. It was Ralston's inten- tion to ask that the bill, which is a Sen- | ate bill, should be returned to the As- sembly. To guard against any such plan Leing carried to a successful conclusion Davis and Tyrrell of Nevada, with other friends of the measure, got together last LEASE OF night and prepared the bill for submis- sion to the Governor, and this morning | bright and early, before the report of the | Assembly committee on mines could have | been put in and acted upon, the bill was found correctly enrolled and was taken | out of committee and sent to the Gov- ernor. In the Assembly a fight was on all the morning over the two health bills of the Governor, favorably passed upon by the | Judiclary Committee last night, and there was no chance for Ralston’s motion to come up for action. In the meantime | the bill was safe in the Governor's of- fice, and it now awaits his aetion. He | may hold the bill for ten d. which | | during the session of the Legislature is equivalent to signing it. Raiston declares that' the letter from | Mansfield, published in The Call yester- day, is sufficlent justification for his ef- fort to recall the biil. He still declares that Colonel Heuer did state that the 500,000 already appropriated was avail- | able, and that he never understood that | Heuer would not recommend that the work proceed until the entire $500,000 had | been appropriated. B e a aon ] ARGUE IN FAVOR OF A NEW THE CHINA BASIN CALYL, HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 12.—Ex-Governor Budd, at- torney for the Harbor Commission of San Francisco, and Rudolph Herold, P. J. Harney and Paris Kilbourn, members of the commission, were before the Senate Judiciary Committee this evening to argue in favor of Davis’ bills, which make pos- sible the new lease of China basin. Budd explained the history of the va- rious leases of the basin. and ended by submitting the last, drawn up by himself, and guaranteed to protect the city and State, if the bills ratifying it be passed and signed. The lease Includes the lien of the seawall, as well as twenty-four acres of land which will have to be filled-in by the lessees. The seawall strip, however, Budd belleves, is a thoroughfare, and as such cannot be leased by the Harbor —_— the country. 1 wanted enough to go to Aus- tralla and my expenses, about $400 in all. He #aid he would have to £o to the office and see out it. It would be all right. He said he would come back, and asked me to walt for him. He then went out and came back in about an hour and met me in the saloon and told me it would be all right. In the mean- make arrangements for him (Boyle) to get in some of the clubs. I went to Waverly place and could not get in there. From there I went to 806 Dupont street. I saw one of the Chinamen that runs the club, and asked him to fix up a game and I would bring up two men to play who lots of money. He said he did not want to do it at first, but I talked him into it. I told him one of the men was an Examiner man named Boyle, and told him L aid not know who the other man was. I said he would get well paid for the job. I'd fix it; 1t would be all right. If we got ar- rested there would be a man there with money to bail us out. I told him one of the men would come to-night to make sure, and that the two of them would come on the fol- iowing night. Boyle was the man who agreed to have us bailed out. The Chinaman said: “AIl right; I fix 'emn; come up to-morrow pight.”” I then left, went back to the saloon I have mentioned and met Boyle tnd took him up to the place, 506 Dupont street. In the conversation with the Chinese I told him that Boyle wanted to get a game, no mat- ter how he got It. My object was to get a game rigged up; that is, to have Chinese there, 1 told the man to have some Chinese there, as the men throw lots of change away. After meeting Boyle we walked along Kearny to Clay and up Clay to Dupont and over Dupont and in through the restaurant door. This place is on the second floor of the restaurant, the Wooey Sen Low restaurant. W the restaurant stairs. ner of Clay and Dupont nese to whom I had previously spoken about bringing Boyle there. The Chinese agreed with me to stand there and watch out for officers, 0 that officers wouldn't see us. When we went in there were about a _dozen Chinatown bums. There was no game going on. The game was opened purposely for this man Boyle to pla; They started to play ple-gow. I started first. Boyle gave me the money, about $350 or $4. I won the first and second bets: first $2, then $4. The cashier took a commission out of the bets I won, leaving me some dimes in change, which have to go down to the office and see about it myself. How much wouid you want?’ and 1 replied m-txwulnflumummoll I gave to the bums standing around. I gave four of them a dime each, and they commenced playing. At the same time Boyle started in. He played about twenty minutes. He won. They let him win at the start. Boyle did not know anything about the game or when he won or lost. The only way he did know was when the Chinese took his money or pald him money. While he was playing he threw dimes on the floor. The bums picked them up and started to play with the dimes. ‘Then the bums (after playing nle-gow for the time stated) took bhim (Boyle) over to another table, saying: “Come, you play 'em here.” H went over and & tan game was opened. We both played tan for about fifteen or twenty minutes. Boyle won at the game and gave dimes to the Chinatown bums there. We went out, and Boyle asked me where I would be the following night, and I eaid in the same place, the saloon. He asked me about what time, and I sald any time; that I would be there all ovening. . o came to the saloon the following even- ing about 8 o'clock with another man, whom I have since learned was Assemblyman ‘Wright. Boyle introduced him, saying: *“This is Mr. Andersen. Can we g0 up thers now?" I said: ‘“Why, certainly.” I saw the China- man that aftérnoon about 5:30 o'clock in the room upstairs, and he asked me when I was going to bring my friend back, about what time would we come back, and I sald in the evening; I don’t know exactly what time. Boyls, this man (Wright) and myself went directly there. As we went in the restaurant I saw a Chinese lottery ticket peddler. He said to me: ‘*‘Lai Suey Fooey Quy Chong?’ I said: “All right.”” He took me to a room, and they followed me. Bovle suggested to Wright to buy a ticket, which Wright did. On a previous on” that evening Boyle asked me to bring him to & lottery place, and I told him I could not do it; that all the lottery places were closed. When we went into the restaurant Chuck Sang, one of the proprietors of tho club. was sitting there. Ho ad seen Boyle the night before. and when we cama In recognized 3 i “‘Hello.”” We then went upstairs, and on going to the door I saild ‘““Open the door” fin Chinesg. ““All right.” We had no difficulty in going | Nothing was going on when we went in there. The same bums that were there the night be- fore were there then, as also others, nized them, as they did us—that is, Bo; commenced the play by bettl sow The 1 plaved Boyle gave layed ple-gow first, then plaved tan afterward. Boyle threw dimes,to the bums, as he did the night before. I won §25. Boyle went broke and then borrowed §21 from me. He won, Commissioners unless by the permission of the Legislature. It was for this reasoa that Budd drew not only the bills sub- mitted, but also the constitutional amend- ment, for in his address to the Judiclary Committee this evening, he said that to make sure all was right and to protect the | city and State In every way, he had drawn | up the améndment to the bills. For two hours the Commissioners and their attorney were questioned by the committeemen, and then action on the bills was deferred until to-morrow. To Be Made J udge.
