COMMITTEES IN SENATE Lieutenant Governor Anderson Make His Announcements This Morning. CAT HEADQUARTERS, SAC MENTO, Jan. 12.—Lieutenant Gove Alden Anderson will announce his c mittees when the Senate convenes to- morrow morning. The ones who will draw the capital prizes are fairly well known to-night, despite the distracting | features of the inaugural ball Soclal functions could not entirely eclipse the struggle for place, and in the midst of the giddy whirl there was even still the fight | for legislative leadership. Senator Robert T. Devlin of Sacramento is regarded as a certainty for the head of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, he having distariced his competitors from other counties, The Corporation Com- mittee, which ranks next in importance, seems 1o be in the hands of Senator Louis Oneal of San Jose. Charles M. Short- | ridge, the political side partner of Sen- ator Oneal, will head his old Committee on Commerce, which he controlled during the last session. Thomas Flint, Jr., President pro tem. of the Senate, will be another old-timer who will head his old Committee on Contingent Expenses. The | Committee on Drainage and Overflowed Lands will this year have Senator J. J. Luchsinger of Solano County for its head. This commitiee will have a great deal of work to dispose of, for river tm- provements will. be a very considerable item in the expenditures of the present Legislature State Hospitals and Reformatory Insti- tutions will be headed by Senator Muen- ter of San Joaouin. This will be an im- portant committee during the present ses- sion. The Judiciary Committee will be in the hands of Lukens of Alameda. John R. Tyrrell of Nevada will probably head the Committee on Mines and Mining, | though Senator Belshaw of Contra Costa was offered the place. Tt seems probable | that Belshaw will take his old committec of Prisons and Reformatory Institutions, in which case Tvrrell of Nevada will have charge of Mines and Mining. Senator Pendleton of Los Angeles will head the Committee on Rulcs during the session. John G. Tyrrell of San Francisco has the inside for the Committee on Public Mor- als, which is regarded as a particularly desirable committee in case any general trouble arises. Senator Leavitt of Alameda was of- fered the Committee of Banks and Bank- ing, but he refused the appointment. In the Assembly Bliss of Oakland will head the Banks and Banking Committee. Hig- gins of Sacramento will have the Com- mittee for State Printing. McLaughlin will head the Committee for River Im- provements in the lower house. | | CeszamE aE Bopx £l REE B At CL s - HALrIITER UESTS WHO WERE TABLES PRESENT 3ALL. % "ARTERS.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 12—The wine question did | not cut much ice in the Capitol at the inaugural bail this evening. True, the bowls were filled time and again, for it required much of the juice of the grape (o slake the thirst of the muititude, but at that the strictest advocate of temper- ance would find it a difficult matter in- | deed to find a reason to kick at the ar- | ticle that was turned out in plenty under | the name of champagne punch. It belied both its origin and its fame. Varney Gaskill, a well known agent of the stuff that is served in cold bottles and occasionally with a small bird, was in Sacramento during the day and put in | the better portion of his time with the ball committees in telling of the worth and cheering qualities of the imported article that he represents. To make good his assertion that he could furnish the right liquid and in quantities to suit, Mr. Gaskill offered to take the members to the freight yard to sample his goods. “You will need quite a lot. gentlemen,” he said, “to furnish these legislators and their guests in the proper style, and T am prepared to fill your order on the short- est notice. I have at the depot a carload of vintage that I am sure will please and my figure for the lot will surprise you.” Mr. Gaskill spoke long and loud in praise of his goods, but the commitiees, while willing and anxious to serve the best quality of refreshments to their guests, were staggered at the price of the article. A local firm had already caught the committee on an article of home pro- duction and at a price that cut the heads off the agents of the imported stuff. At the punch bowl in the evening there was no lack of that cheer which always comes with the opening of fancy-capped botiles, but the committees had the satis- faction of knowing that they were deliv- ering a liquid that could be guaranteed not to produce “that tired feeling” in the morning. The lunch tables along the corridors of the north wing were well patronized. A pleasant little luncheon wag served, consisting of confections, ice cream and coffee with whipped cream but the wet article that is supposed. to add luster to the eyes of its consumers, to give wit and pleasantries to such gati erings, had no enlivenment in it, Ll Sl | | | 13 | TR ET7 LKLPT Ar7P> " o.For.

SALEM, Or., Jan. 12.—After a pro- iracted caucus of the Republicans, both houses of the twenty-second biennial sessfon of the Legislature were argan- ized this afternoon. George C. Brownell was chosen Presi- ent of the Senate and L. T. Harris peaker of the House. After selecting minor officers bath | houses adjourned out of respect to the work of so.many years and of so many | lawyers and commissions is te be entire- ly wasted. Senator Selvaze will head the | Committee on Code Revision, and he has his plans-—siready made for the work In the decision of the Su; ne Court which knocked out the new codes that were passed at the last session the court did not simply declare the codes u stitutlonal, buf pointed out a way which they could be made to comply with the highest interpretation of the consti- tution. The objection that the Supreme | Court found to the action of two vears ago was that each code was adopted as one bill, without regard to contents. This was held to be wrong, and it shown that If the codes were separated into subjects and each subject passed in a separate bill everything would be legal. It will take some little time to comply with this view of the constitution, but Senator Selvage has already been in con- sultation with several members of the Code Commission nd the legal offis of the State government, and it is es mated that the codes can be separated into about forty bills covering the forty leading subjects that are handled. These bills will be introduced very early in the fon, and can easily be handled with- out delaying other legislation. If each separate section had to be made the sub. ject of a separate bill it would require more time to adopt the codes than the sion has at its disposal, but forty bills will not disturb the regular work of the session. The difficult work of the com- mittce which Senator Selvage will head will be the proper segregation of the codes into subjects, and there is ample opportunity to conflict with the Supreme Court in this delicate operation.

Whyte reported the matter to the Cen- tral police station by telephone as soon as possible. Captain of Detectives Martin at once detailed two men on the case, 2nd they have been working on it ever since. It is the belief of the officers that the burglary was committed by members of a gang who watch residences and after they observe people leave the premise: enter by the use of skeleton keys. For some time the police have had a clew as to who certain members of the gang are, and expect to land them behind the bars before very long.

A com- mittee on credentials was also appointed, but after some discussion it was decided that such a committee was unnecessary, ard the miembers were therefore dis- charged with a vofe of thanks. It was ordered by the chair that each deiegate should bring two coples of the constitution and by-laws of the organiza- tlon to which he belonged to the next meeting of the convention, which is to be held next Monday evening.
