At 11:30 o'clock a cominittee from the Assembly, composed of Anderson of So- lano, Laird of Kern and Treadwell of San Francisco, waited upon the Senate with the information that the Assembly had completed its labors and asking if the Benate had any further communication to make. In answer a committee from the Senate composed of Belshaw, Davis and Curtin was appointed to wait upon the Assembly and inform that body that there was nothing further. The Assembly appointed a committee composed of Fisk, Johnson and James to wait upon the Governor and inform him that the Assembly was ready to adjourn. The Senate appointed a similar commit- tee, composed of Senators Shortridge, Lardner and Sims. Then the two houses awaited word from the executive and the stroke of 12. Thanks From the Governor. The message came to the houses just before 12 o'clock. In it the Governor con- gratulated the members of the Legis- lature on the work they had done and thanked them for the co-operation. they had shown with him and with each other. The hands of the clock were creeping on- ward, There was a minute still to spare, and the Lieutenant Gbvernor in the Sen- ate paused before he let the gavel fall. He thanked the attaches who had served well and faithfully, and then, address- ing the Senators, he bade them farewell. In the closing mirfutes of the Assembly members mingled together saying good- by until ten minutes before midnight, wlhen the committee from the Senate ‘|came in with its announcement of the completion of the Senate's lators. The journal of the day was read and ap- proved. Bpeaker Pendleton addressed his col- leagues briefly in a congratulatory vein, and promptly at midnight, after benedic- tion was pronounced by the chaplain, declared the Assembly adjourned sine afe. The rap of the gavel was echoed in the Senate and the thirty-fourth session was over. THESE BILLS BECOME LAWS. Receive the Governor's Signature or Pass Ten-Day Limit. SACRAMENTO, March 16.—Assembiy- man Knowland's blll, which makes it a felony for one person to hold another in involuntary servitude, became a law to- day by limitation. The measure adds a new section to the Penal Code and it is hoped that by its cperation the Chinese slave trafic Iin B8an Francisco will be checked, if not broken up. The Governor has also signed Senator Flint's bill transferring the lease of the Monterey Custom-house (Colton Hall) from the Native Sons of the Golden West to the State. The bill carries an appro- priation of $4200 for the preservation of this historic propertiy. Johnson's Assembly bill, authorizing countles, cities and countles and incor- porated towns, and chartered or incor- porated citles to licenrse bicycles, tricycles and similar vehicles and to collect an an- nual fee not to excced $1 for the purpose of devoting such fee to the construction of paths along country roads for the use of pedestrians and the wheeling thereon of such vehicles is ncw a law by constitu- tional provision.

Cowan’s two bills making it a felony to change the brand® on livestock become law by limitation. The ten-day iimit also enacts into law Meyers’ bill making it a misdemeanor to use any appliances which show a false percentage of butter fat in milk or other dalry products. Ralston’s bill preseribing conditions un- der which telephone or telegraph lines or conduits ""K be erected or placed be- comes a law by constitutional provision. Anderson’s (of Solano) bill making it un- lawful to sell articles of prison manufac- ture not specifically designated in the statutes is a law by Iimitation. PASSES JUST IN TIME. County Government Bill’s Close Call in the Upper House. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 16.—Just before the call of time at noon to-day the county govern- ment bill slipped through the Senate al- most like Jason’s dove, leaving its tafl feathers caught under the gavel. Includ- ed in the events of its passage was one of the most peculiar bits of filibustering the Senate has seen. The bill was intro- duced by Lukens, chairman of the County Government Committee. It had been ADVERTISEMENTS. HEART DISEASE. Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In- crease of Heart Trouble. Heart trouble, at least among thd Amer- fcans, is certainly Increasing, and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion. Real organic disease is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is_organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric, In another way, also the heart is affect- ed by the form of poor digestion which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There a feeling of op- ression and heaviness in the chest caused Y mmu of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their ;cuatr;l ; hence arises palpitation and short reath. Poor digestion also polsons the blood, it l.hh"l_‘l I.Dg wa:or!. which irritates and weakens the hearf ‘The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the d#uuon and to insure the mmfi assimilation of food.

It was necessary that the Senate concur in the amendments. which it was quite willing to do. The biil came to the Senate.in Assembly messages. There were but a few minutes to spare, for Lieutenant Governor Neff had de- clared he would have no turning back of the clock—that he would stop all aetion on bills at 12 o'clock. in accordance with the concurrent resolution, no matter what was ‘pending. Yet in spite of this when it was moved to take up Assembly mes- sages In order that the county govern- ment bill might be taken up Lukens, the author of the county government bill, made objections. Wheu his objection seemed to be in danger of belng passed over he demanded a roll call. The roll call carried the motion, the biil was con- sidered the were adonted. After that the bill allowing $15,000 for the Home for Adult Blind—the measure it was hoped the county government bill would glve way to—was taken up and passed just in time. Tt was explained by those behind the appropriation that the amend- ments could have been considered after 12 o'clock, but the fact remained that noth- ing, not even £ motion to reconsider a bill. was taken up after noon. The county government bill was one of the important measures of the session. VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR. ‘Water and Forestry Measure One of Those That Fail. SACRAMENTO, March 16.—Wolte's water and forestry bill has been vetoed by Governor Gage. The bill provided for the joint Investigation with the Federal Government of the water resources of the State and the best methods of preserving the forests, and carrled an appropriation of $107,200 for the purpose indicated. The executive says: “While this measure might contribute to important and beneficlal results to the State, the large appropriation which it carries, when considered together with the large appropriation demanded In the purchase of ths redwood park under the terms of Assembly bill 873, made it im- ossible for me at this session to approve oth bills without resumng in great bur- den to the taxpayers or the necessity of my disapproving other more pressing and needed appropriations which are before ey For a second time this sesslon the bill appropriating $20,000 for the lgurchase of additional lands for Sutter's Fort. Sacra- mento, has been disapproved by the Gov. ernor. He declares that he falls to see any urgent need for such an appropria- tion for thé purchase at this time. - Burnett's bill making it a misdemeanor to sell goods or wares the products of penal institutions of other States is dis- approved because {t 1s obscurely worded, and “absurdly made a part of the Political Code.” Governor Gage vetoed the claim of J. E. Atkinson for $15,000. The bill is unconsti- tutional, the Governor holds, and the Code Commission shares his belief. CONSUMPTIVE COMMITTEE. Senators to Consume an Appropria- tion of Sickly Proportions. CALL HEADQUARTERS, BACRA- MENTO, March 15.—There will be an- other committee of hold-over Senators, this time to investigate the question of in this State, to decide if it o navianie o' establish a hospital for consumptives, and, if so, to select a site for it. The resolution was put in by Wolfe, who spoke In its favor. Smith of Los Angeles and Caldwell of Riverside supported it, and Belshaw, Smith of Kern and Rowell opposed it. Belshaw said If a hospital for consump- tives were established in this State in a few weeks it would be fllled with con- sumptives from all over the country. Smith of Kern sald the committee would only go to public institutions and public officers to obtain its information, and that could be done by mail just as well. Row- ell said the work of the committee would be useless, as a Senator would not neces- sarily be a judge of the ravages of tuber- e Tesolution went through, and Wolfe, Smith of Los Angeles and Plunkett wers appointed to form the committee. The expenses of the committee are limited by the resolution to $250. NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. and amendments Senate Approves Appointments Mads by the Governor.
