ROW OVER DISTRIBUTION OF PLACES IS CARRIED TO ASSEMBLY AND THE ADHERENTS OF GAGE SUFFER QUICK BUT DE s Stanton of Los Angeles Fails to Carry Out Programme. Positiefi Made for Clerk He Was Desirous of Punishing. ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 15.—To-day’s session of the Assembly would have been dull and woodeny had it'mot been | for the vietory of an attache over | the chairman of the Committee on Attaches. It was also a vic- tory over the remnant-of the Gagé ele- anent-in that body. R.'Q. Wickham, the clerk on whose behalf the House tgok n aimost unprecedented action, was the fause of;the controversy. . He had been | for*many sessions minute clerk of the Assembly at a per diem of $6, and would have been reappointed to his old position at this session had it not been for the fiolent antagonism and opposition de- eloped by the Gage people. During the recent contest for the Republican guber- ratorial nomination Wickham joined forces with Flint against the renomina- tion of Gage and Assemblyman Stanton of Los Angeles. a warm political friend of Gage, vowed that he would politically fix Wickham when (!\e)eglslalxlre con- vened. | For the purpose of carrying out’ his | threat and obtaining revenge Stanton placed before the Republican caucus the me of A. A. Woods of Riverside as the choice of the Wepublican party for | { | | minute elerk of the Assembly and Woods s chosen, great to the de- light of Stanton and his associates. In order to rivet the matter fast and tight, | Stanton secured the position of chair- man of the Committee on Attaches and Employes. This morning the chairman presented the report of the committee | a8 to the appointments that had been | made, expecting that the report would | be adopted without opposition, but his | expectation was not realized, for Camp | offered to amend by creating the post t f assistant file clerk and appoint- tion of | | | | | | ing Wickham to the place. tanton was thunderstruck he blow was S0 unexpected that he became ex- cited and incoherent in his remarks. He sted loudly against the amendm intimated that the action of Camp w. discourteous toward the committee, and that the report should be adopted as presented. He opposed the bestowal of any ore patronage on the members. it was met by Camp, whe House that he had not ex- | supply of ‘patronage that | m. Here was an opportunity McMahon and Murphy, Union Labor | o, to hausted en able | friends in posi- charged that ¥ b adequately repre patronage, but their com- by the Republican majo- rity he idle wind. ( his amendment, and in spite of the pro- tests of Stanton and . his friends the amendment was adopted and Wickham took up his position at the desk, a liv- ing monument of the weakness of the Gage faction. OPPOSE SCRIPPERS BILL. The first business to come before the | Assembly this morning was the proposed | passage of Senate bill No. 1, condemning | the scrippers bill, involving Southern | California oil lands near Bakersfield, which has passed the lower house of the as t mp insisted on United States Congress, | Assemblyman Duryea said he would like to see the Senate bill passed for thc | yurpose of backing up Cal | resentatives in Congress, who are to fight | against the passage of the scrippers bill | t ext Duryea | sion of Congress. red that the scrippers spurned the wd as being of any agricultural value was discovered on it vman Johnson was oppc 3 ssage the Senate bill e | 1t the scrippers bill would prove a “‘menace ground_that ained the words that | to the oil industry of the State.” semblyman Knight urged the pa of the Benate bill and subsequent mot E to refer th bill to the Committee on Pub- lic Lands and Forestry and the Commit- tee on Judiclary were lost. | Prescott wanted to hear read some re- quests from the California Representa tives In Congress to the effect that they vganted backing in thejr fight against the | ers bill He said until this was | = he could not cast an intelligent vote upon the question. Assemblyman Carter said that in brief the contention to be decided was whether | the scrippers, who have been in every court in the United States, shou'd be al- lowed to take an appeal from the De- | partment of the Imterior to the District of Columbia. He declared that the pas- sage of the bill would prove a menace to oil industry of the State. Although the time for taking a recess was near, the debate still continued. Tra- ber said that the scrippers have been beaten in every court and that they are | | now asking Congress to ald them in fight- | ing the oil industry of the State. He de- red that if Johnson had made a study of the Dick bill he would not have op- posed it The resolution adopting Senate bill No. 1 was finally passed. FLOOD OF NEW MEASURES.

ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 15.—At the request of Senator Sanford, Senate joint reso- lution No. 3, relative to the omni- bus statehood bill, now pending in Congress, which was specially set for hearing this morning, was put over When the resolution comes up for discussion there will be a merry tilt. Sanford is a Democrat and such a resolution, coming from the mi- nority in the House, is significant. Washington administration is opposed to the pa of the bill lican Senators intend to stand by Roose- velt's policy nator Belshaw is strong- ly opposed to the adoption of the resolu- tion and will lend his voice in opposing it. The omnibus statehood bill has for its purpose the admission of Oklahoma, Ari- zona and New Mexico Territories into the Union. In discussing the resolution Senate adjourned, Belshaw “If California wa administration, it 5 and when the aid: hould stand by it. against the policy of Roosevelt. I believe in standing by the President. We are transport service and other things and we ought to show our appre- | ciation.” hirteen new bills were filed in the Sen- ate this morning. nator Leavitt introduced a bill that will be of interest to the Police Depart- m it of San Francisco. 3t provides for regulating of the hours of service on gular duty by members of the Police nisting of a cottage on the grounds of the Agnews State Hospital, Walsh—Imposing & license tax upon itiner- ant venders of drugs or appliances sold for the ure of disease Carter—Fixing the salaries of stenographers in the Attorney General's office at $1000 per vear.

CALL HBADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 15.—Senator Hahn, chair- man of the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions, called a caucus of the Republican Senators to-night to consider the resolu-" tion introduced by Senator Shnford, a Democrat, instructing our representatives in Congress to use every means in their power to defeat the omnibus statehood bill. Sepators Hahn, Hubbell, Bélshaw and Leavitt opposed the adoption of the reso- lution. Senator Devlin favored the admission of Oklahoma Territory, but thought it wise to let New Mexico_and Arizona alone. Senator Savage contended that New Mexico should be admitted to_the Union. After a lengthy discussion a vote was taken. It resulted in 22 votes out of the 25 present being cast in fa ing the Committee on' Federal Relations to bring in a report opposing the adoption of the resolution.

Selvage also presented a blll in behalf of the Fish and Game Commission. It provides that the expenses caused by the prosecution of persons violating faws for the preservation of fish in the navigable be borne and paid by the State. Senator Curtin asks for an appropria- tion of $250,000 to provide for the construc- { tion of a new hotel in the Yosemite Val- ley. Senator Oneal wants $100 appropriated to pay F. W. Moore for blankets fur- nished. the State militia during the late Spanish-American war. An adjournment was taken m. Another small flood of bills was intro- duced during the afternoon session. Senator Welch until 2:30 P BLIND ASYLUM DIRECTORS ASK FOR LEGISLATIVE AID Use Trust Funds Without Authority and Now Find Themselves in a Quandary. CALL HBADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 5.—The board of directors | of the California Institution for the Edu- cation of the Deaf and Blind are in a quandary hecause of an unusual and un- authorized use by them of certain trust funds of which they had control, but* which were created for a specific purpose. The board has come before the Legislat- ture asking for assistance., The assis- tance demanded will probably be grant- ed, but it is also probable that some ex- planation will be asked before the matter is settled. At the last session of the Legislature a bill was passed carrying an appropria- tion for a new hospital for the institution, something which was admittedly much needed there. Following his policy of what has since been shown to be false economy Governor Gage vetoed the meas- ure and the institution was left without a place in which to properly care for those of the inmates who required medi- cal treatment. Instead of waiting, how- ever, for the Legislature to meet again and to provide for the needs of the in- stitution, the board of directors being pressed by a smallpox epidemic took the matter in hand themselves and taking money from certain of the trust funds, built a hospital. Now they want the Legislature to reimburse the funds de- pleted by the action. In the annual report of the president of the board of directors appears the fol- lowing paragraph which explains in gen- eral terms only what was done. It is not ex?tlllned in detall elsewhere in the re- port: The epldemic of smallpox referred to in the principal’s report convinced the directors that consideration for the safety of the pupils re- quired that Immediate measures should be taken for the building of a segregated hos- tal, where children attacked by eon A iseases could at once be separated and treated before such diseases became epldemlic, thus involving, as was the case in 1901, the ex- Densiva and coatlv avoarianas af bréakine introduced one for the | establishment and maintenance of sepa- | | | | the | cis | -four; provided, that in case of | providing for and designating who shall constitute a board to be known as “The State Textbook Commission”” and grant- ing it special powers. Senator Curtin asked for an appropria- tion of $20,000 for the purpose of erect- ing and constructing bridges, canals and grading upon what is called the Sonora and Mono toll road, a State highway. Senator Welch introduced Senate con- current resolution No.(5, providing for adoption of seven charter amend- ments adopted by the voters of San Fran- o at the December elegtion. Senator Lukens madeé a rotion that the Senate adjourn until Monday next. He explained that by doing so it would not be against the constitutlonal provision, which provides that the Senate should not adjourn over three days. He read an opinion rendered by the Attorney Gen- eral in 1891, who advised the State Con- troller that the Senate could adjourn | from Friday to Monday, provided it met on Monday. ‘While his colleagues did not question Lukens’ interpretation of the constitution or the wisdom of the official who gave the opinion, it was deemed best- to adjourn until Sunday in order that no question should arise. Senator Lukens accepted the suggestion and the motion that when the Senate ad- journs, it do so until Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, was adopted. Four-fifths of the = members leaves of absence untll Monday secured the school. They therefore had plans drawn and erected a bullding, which *is in every respect a model, up-to-date hospital, paying for the same by borrowing money from cer- tain trust funds in the control of the board. It 15 hoped and expected that the Legislature about to copvene will make an appropriation reimbursing the funds from which the mone: was borrowed and a bill to that effect w be introducéd at the proper time. . The hos- pital is about completed, but the vouchers of expenditure are not all im at the present writing, so that the exact amount cannot be stated. It will be, however, not far frcma §15,000. The bill for the relief of the board has not been drawn as vet and just when it will be presented and by whom is not known. The refusal of the Legislature to pass such a measure might prove serious to the members of the board of directors, for they would probably have to make good the money borrowed from the trust funds. Pt tatde LEGISLATORS WILL VISIT THE STATE UNIVERSITY Accept the Invitation of President Wheeler to Inspect the Big Educational Institution. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 15.—The Senate and the As- sembly joined hands to-day in smashing all legislative records and precedents to smithereens. In a more or lesy informal manner it was decided to take a junket- ing trip to Berkeley to-morrow at the ex- pense of the members. Jt will cost the State nothing except their salarfes. . * As the result of a consultation between Governor Pardee and President Benjamin 1de Wheeler of the State University, some weeks ago an omnibus invitation was served on the members of both houses this morning to visit Berkeley in a body to-morrow, being the regular class day, with all sorts of drills and exhibition ‘The chief purpose, of course, was to show the legislators just what tlie university needs and so procure the desired appro- priations. As an extra inducement it was suggested that after the official inspec- tion there would be a luncheon and a good time generally. ing a little fear- ful that the solons t object to” sad- ua | dling the cost of the junketing trip on the CISIVE DEFEAT \Governor Pardee Is Guest of Native Sons of Sacramento.

DUTIES OF NATIVE SONS. I remember my good father going down the street with me before his death, saying to me, “The time was when' there. was not a gray hair in the boundaries of Californta. The time man of 40 years of age wa t me now. See how my | ay; see how I shuffle | abroad and see the young men growing manhoed.

It is a ood thing to be Governor (laughter) and it is a bad thing to be wernor, (More laughter and applause.) It is a bad thing thos hold down the Legislature. (Laughter and ap- plause.) But I do mean to say that a!l Legislatures are bad ven our Democra friends are good peaple. All Californians, even if they are of the vintage of 1902, are good people, and I loye them all.

This would enable the legislators [to go at their own expense. The tempting bait was swallowed whole.
