Special Dispatch to The Call. change of heart. More time must be had to work upon members, to mollify them by the insertion of amendments that will satisfy their whims without vitiating the powers conferred by the bills upon the State Board of Health to enter upon a policy of nagging the Federal quarantine officers. More time must be had to let members become fully cognizant of the fact that unless they support these pet measures their own bills will not receive favor in the executive office. A week is the time figured upon by the partisans of the bills as nec this change of vote: Good men have al- ready succumbed to these arguments of coercion and other good men will sue- cumb. The opposition was forced to acquiesce in the postponement, for while the ad- ministration lacks the 41 votes necessary BY THE SUPPORTERS OF THE QUARANTINE BILL Coulterville declded in short order that fallure to obtain the passage and signa- ture of his bills would discredit him less than to vote for administration measures which required such tactics in their be- half, and he so informed the Governor's friend.

Such being the case, the other side consented to the postponement. Johnson went to leading members of the opposition this morning and sald frankly that he was making the fight for the bills for men higher in power. [/nexpected op- position had developed, much to the dis- tress of friends of the bills, and in order to avoid the continuance of the bitter con- test he desired time to consult with the higher powers, whose bills these were, and ascertain {f amendments might not be in- corporated that would remove opposition. Johnson's diplomacy was also exhibited in recalling bill 58 from engrossment, the inspiration of his action coming from the | indignation at the order sending it there without the Speaker giving further oppor- tunity for amendment. important to his constituents, if their fate depended upon his giving support to legis- lation that he believed unjust, outrageous and against the best interests of the State, his own bills might just as well be killed at once. There is not the slightest doubt that a large number of Assemblymen are lend- ing half-hearted support to the quarantine bills against their own convictions, sus- pecting that opposition to them means the defeat of their own measures now pend- ing and the antagonism of the adminis- ;r?tlon to their political ambitjons in the uture, | COMMITTEE RECEIVES * SCHOOL DELEGATION Hears Arguments and Disposes of Welch’s Educational Bills.

Bill 164 provides that the salary of the Superintendent’s dep- uties shall be $3000 a year instead of $1800. This it was decided to report without rec- ommendation. The position taken by the committee was that these matters of du- ties and salary were Emvlded for in the charter and should not be made the con- cern of the Legislature. The Senate Finance Committee decided to-night to recommend for passage the three University of California bills intro- duced on Monday by Lukens. One ap- propriates $200,000, another n?pmpflatea $50,000 to make good the deficiency from the Turner morigage loss, and the third provides that an appropriation of $200,000 shall in future be emhodied in the bien- nial general appropriation bill.

L RS Spectal Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.—Ayton Armi- tage, formerly of the Bostonian Opera Company, and for some time employed as General H. G. Otis’ private secretary, is a United States prisoner. He was arrest- ed this morning on a charge of sending an obscene letter through the malls. Mrs. Martha B. Drullard filed the information | and intends to prosecute the case. The letter was sent to Mrs. Drullard’s son Clarence. Although It was written by Armitage on January 30, it was not posted until late on the afternoon of Feb- ruary 5. It was charged in the communi- cation that Mrs. Drullard had circulated the report that her son was leading an immoral life with certain Los Angeles women, whom the writer names. Young Drullard immediately turned the letter over to his mother and she invoked the aid of United States Postoffice Inspector Flint. The complainant swore to the war- rant last night at his suggestion. In the letter Armitage charges that Mrs. Drullard made untrue statements about him as to his morals and his credit, branding him as a deadbeat. In his an- | ger he uses not only violent but vile lan- | guage toward the mother of the man he | was addressing. Much of the language is absolutely unprintable and all of it s in- temperate. Armitage In his own deéfense said this | morning that he and his wife had been lodgers at Mrs. Drullard's house, but that they were compelled to move, as they could no longer tolerate thelr landlady. He claims that he was persecuted and is very anxious to have his case go to trial. He contends that the letter 18 not obsecne witRin the meaning of the statutes.

DOG-SALMON SOLD AS HIGH-CLASS FISH PBritish Columbia Legislature Will Stop Fraudulent Labeling of Shipments. VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 13.—The Brit. ish Columbia Legislature has promised to take action to put a stop to the practice of fraudulently 1abeling salmon canned in this province. In recent shipments, espe- cially to England, large consignments of fish have been fraudulently labeled to in- sure their sale at high prices.

By these wholesale frauds the dishonest sai- mon dealers made a lot of money and buyers paid twice as much as the article | was worth. Tha seventy-five big packers of British | Columbia have had no hand in this alleged fraud, and they are now anxious that the Provincial Legislature should pass a stringent act compelling all canners to truthfully label the contents of their cans.

A NEW DEPARTURE A New, Effectual and Convenient Cure for Catarrh. Of catarrh remedies there is no end, but | of catarrh cures therc has always been a great scarcity. Therc are many remedies | to_relieve, but very few that re The old practice of snuffing s | through the nose would often relieve and | the washes, douch powders and in- | halers in common use are very little, if any, better than the old fashioned er douche. he use of inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure disease. Caiarrh is just as much a blood dis ey trouble or rhe matism, an not be cured by local treatment any more than they can be. To cure catarrh, whether in the head, throat or stomach, an internal antiseptic treatment is necessary to drive the c tarrhal poison out of the blood and sy: tem, and the new ca:tarrh cure is designed on this plan and the remarkable success of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets is because being used internally it drives out ca- tarrhal infection through actlon upom stomach, liver and bowe Wm. Zimmerman of St. Joseph, relates atarrh which _is of to millions catarrh sufferers He sa “I neglected a slight nasal catarra until it gradually ex- tended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even mv stomach and liver became affected. but as I was able to keep up and do a day’s work I let it run along until my hearing began to fail me and then I realized that I must get rid of catarrh or lose my position, as I was clerk and my hearing was absolutely necessary. “Some of my friends recommended an inhaler, another a catarrh salve, but they were no good in my case, nor was any- thing else until I lieard of Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets and bought a package at my drugstore. They benefited me from the start and In less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh, although I had suffered nearly all my life from it. “They are pleasant to take and so mueh more convenient to use than other catarrh remedies that I feel I cannot say enough in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.” A little book on cause and cure of ca- arrh will be mailed free by addressing F.
