This please some of the more ardent Gage men, .and it was very unsatisfactory to the ‘officeholders who had-been given the appointments recently. The result was a sudden burst of statements and explana- tions. g The Gage supporters announced they were going to fight the plan, and that to-morrow morning they would a motion to suspend the and take up Governor Gage's for immediate consideration would = require twenty-seven or two-thirds of the Sen- ate, and the Gage men began to count noses and see if they could muster the necessary twenty-seven.

Senator Lukens had made a motion to adjourn before the spectal coni- mittee had returnd. and it was upon my sug- gestion that adjournment was postnoned until after that committee reported.

Selma A. Rood was granted a divorce on the ground of cruelty from H. R. Rcod of the. H. R. Rood Pile Preserva- tive ,Company by Judge Graham yester- day. Mrs. Rood testified that ever since her marriage, in August of last year, her husband caused her great mental agony by constantly finding fauit with her every action. She said that his conduct was such that on several occasions she was compelled to seek treatment for nervous prostration at a hospital. Mrs. testimony was corroborated by her mother, Mrs. Augusta Lux. Judge Hebbard granted a divorce to Freda Popert from Julius Popert for neglect, and Judge Graham granted John D. Vincenzi a divorce from Mary Vin- cenzi for cruelty. An action for divorce was commenced vesterday by W. E. Arnold against Helen Arnold, to whom he was marrled in De- cember, 1901. ° Arnold, who charges cru- city, states that his troubles commenced shoftly after his marriage.

ALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC- RAMENTO, Jan. 5.—Arthur G. Fisk, who was elected Speak- er of the Assembly this morn- ing, was Kept extremely busy all day listening to members of the House and insistent office seekers. Fisk has been practically confined to his room at the Capitol Hotel by illness, but he is able to attend to the dutles of his important office. In forecasting what the Legislature will accomplish this session Speaker Fisk sald: “Now tiat the speakership fight has been decided, the attention of the Assembly will be directed to probable legislation. The session should prove remarkably interesting owing to the fpauguration eof a new Goverror and the election of a United States Senator to succeed the Hon: George C. Perkins. At every session of the Legislature much of the proposed leg- islation i= a reintroduction of bills that have made their appearance at previou sessions. There are, however, some mat- ters which deserve special ‘consideration. Amcug the more important matters may be mentioned bills to carry Into effect the constitutional amendments recently adopt- ed, such as the use of voting machin in leu of the old-style ballot. In event of the old-style ballot being con- tinued it will be necessary to rearrange the present ballot so as to avoid mistakes such as were developed in the recent re- | c “There will undoubtediy be legislation affecting irrigation and water rights. An effort will be made to pass a measure to introduce civil service into State offices. 1t is generally understood that many bil of this character will be presented by rep- 1esentatives of the Labor party. Mea ures calling for large appropriations for new buildings will be offered in behalf of most of the State institutions. Bills will also be introduced for increased app! priations for maintenance. There will be legislation looking to the improvement of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys’ waterways. An amendment will also ccme before the Legislature in be- | balt of direct legislation. The estal- lishment of a school at the University of | | California for the preservation of our for- | | ests s also contemplated. ““It is too early to predict just what pol- | lcy the Assembly will adopt as to final | legislation, but it is safe to say that the | members will be in favor of appropria- | tions large enough for the needs of the State and will also keep in mind the neces- ¥ of alding the Governor in maintain- | ing an economical administration. | “In naming the different committees in | the Assembly I shall endeavor to select members who are best fitted for the leg- islation that will come before the varlous commitiges.

Edward Rosenberg, secretary of the La- bor Council, called the convention to or- der, and in a brief speech outlined the policy of the proposed organization. In part he said: | This convention has been calied for the pur- | pose of uniting more firmly the labor move- ment and interests in this city. In the last fhree years trades unionism in San Francisc has grown rapidly. V-« have had slight differ- | ences with our employers and slight differences among ourselves.

Within a few minutes, however, Mrs. Bruce set his fears at rest by giving him certain marks of identification, which could not be found on the body. But in many in- | stances the description of the body is re- markably similar to lhal of Mrs. Jessie Weeks. Bruce stated that he had not seen Mrs. Weeks for six months, but was so well acquainted , with her .that he thought there could be no question that she lay dead before him. Mrs. Weel he said. was of the same height and weight as the body and had the same luxuriant orown hai On the left cheek of the body was a | mole, a blemish which had long caused Weeks complaint.

An examina- tion of the body disclosed the fact that ‘the teeth of the body were all natural and that bevond a doub: the identifica- tion had been false Mrs. Bruce was at once notified that a mistake had teen made, and as if the dead had been resurrected there was again happiness in her home.
