Assemblymen Map Out a New Plan for Legislation. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, Feb, 9.—The Republican ity in the As- sembly has decided that hereafter all ques- tions upon which there appears to be a serious division and all the more ‘important subjects osed legislation shall he settied in cau- Acting upon that principle a caucus was called immediately after adjournment for the noon recess to-day and action taken which will have a very important bearing upon all n of the lower house with refer- ling bills. £ It has been given out that the caucus was of pre tests, efpecially that in which Wanzer is seek- cerning which the majcrity of the Committee on Contested Eloctions is ready to report in favor of seating Wanzer. The whole question hinged upon what ghould be dbne with refer- ve to the ballots in which the ‘‘no nom- fon”" space Wwas stamped. The Suprems 1t has decided. that such ballots are not caucus to do but to accept the action of the the decision of ommittee in following out that tribunal. This course was approved and the committee will probably report to-morrow. Upon the adoption of the majority report Wan- zer will be sworn into office and Duffey must retire. 4 Chairmen Johnson of the caucus brought up the matter of the advisability of acting in caucus on other matters, such as the several county government amendments and more par- ticularly and of vastly more importance, the various measures of industrial legisiation which have been proposed. It was stated that sume of the bills of this character shouid never have heen written, much less Introduced, while others although they Were presented in good faith, would almost overturn the State Fovernmeni if they were to be adopted. “Thié real reascn why it was desitea that these measures be decided in caucus is that such action will relieve the Individual members >f any seeming responsibility and the opposition Aaanot pick out any one of two members {o be made the victims of their displeasure be- cause they happened to op certain_bille, It will, therefore, be unnecessary for some of the members 1o sneak out of the room to escape casting their vote for or against any Teasure, as some of them have been known to_do in the past. The caucus decided that it would be wiser to have the entire party shoulder the res) #ibility for the defeat of certain proposed legi jation which i now programmed to be de- feated. To end_a steering composed of Johnson, Dunlap, Camp, Dorsey, Traber, Walsh and Brown was appointed, and upon the action of this committee and its re- ports to the caucus will depend the fate of many a bill which is now elther on the files ready for passage or defeat or in committes. The action will simplify the work of the Leégis: lature and will render futlle any long-winded debates upon matters which the caucus may consider, and in that manner will result in a ving of time. “TIie fanner of deciding what shall be done with bills will be made to apply probably to many of the measures which carry appropria- tlons. ‘The total appropriations asked for in bills which have beén referred to the Wavs and Means Committee 1s $2.714.924. The coin. mittee has favorably Teported upon bills cariy- ing appropriations of $758,078 84, has re) unfavorably on $1200 and has had withdrawn a proposed appropriation of $1418 50. There Termain in thelbands. of the committee pro appropriations of $1.953.278. To rid - of ihess and to determine which of them shall be passed it Is probable that the caucus will act upon them and thereby settle their fate one way or another. ENGINEERS MAKE OBJECTION.

[ hope the resolution will be adopted. 1 do not desire that the resolution be sent to a_compmittes, for there is hardly time for a_committee to give it proper consid- eration and then report back to this Assembly. DEBATE ON RESOLUTIONS. T.ewis of Riverside sald that inasmuch as the charges are in the nature of a crime the matter should be taken up by the courts rather than by the Legislature. He | had read the charges and thought an in- vestigation should be made, but it should be by the tribunals created to punish such crimes, and not by the bedy which created the Pilot Commission. Allen moved that the resolutions be re- terred to the Committee on Commerce and Navigation. In support of his motion he declared that there are a sufficient number of committees of the Assembly to transact any business which .may come before it. There are now forty-two com- mittees, and it would bé but right, he thought, to have the matter referred to | ‘the proper committee for preliminary in- vestigation. If that committee was placed in possession of facts sufficient to war- 1ant it in recommending to the Assembly an investigation it would then be time enough to appoint such a committee as that provided for in Rolley’s resolution. McMartin of San Francisco thought the resolution should be sent to the Commit- tec on Commissions and Public Expendi- tures, because it was the investigation of a State commission which was proposed. Later, however, he withdrew his amend- ment to that effect, Rolley vigorously opposed the motions to commit his resolution. He declared that the life of the present session of the Legislature is now so short that there would be but little time for the special committee to make a complete Investiga- tion and report. He asserted that by sending the matter to a standing com- mittee valuable time would be lost, and under the circumstances he thought the whole truth should be known as quickly as poasible. Brown of San Mateo favored reference of the resolution to the Committee on Commerce and Navigation. He cautioned the Assembly not to proceed with ton much haste. He said he was sure that those in possession of the necessary in- formation as to the truth of the gharges against the Pilot Commission would not object to bringing before any .comnrittee of the Assembly at least a sufficient por- tlon of their evidence to convince the committee that a full investigation should be ordered. He said: 1 have not the slighiest doubt that there Pilot Commission many matters about that tigated and abuses which should be corrected, but until those making the charges appear before one of our commit- tees and gre-em something of what they have 1 do not think it wise to order an investigation, especially as this is perhaps the most im- pertant period of the session of the Legislature, and no member can well afford to spare. time for investigations, when his bills may come up for final passage at any time. REFERENCE TO COMMITTEE. Rolley then accepted the amendment to his motion and the resolutions were re- terred to the Committee of Commerce and Navigation. The Committee on Commerce and Navigation has been composed of the following members: Bolsson of San Fran- cisco, Rolley of Eureka, Stansel, Nelson, Traber of Fresno, Amerige,of Fullerton, Greer of Sacramento, Houser of Los An- geles, Duffey of Ben Lomond and Copus of San Francisco. 'Duffey was unseated to-day, however, and Wanzer of Santa Cruz may have his place on the commit- tee. Chairman Boisson of the Assembly com- mittee sald to-night: This héaring before the Commiittee on Com- merce and Navigation will be in the nature of a preliminary examination. committes has simply to consider the Rolley resolution and determine whether it will mend to the Assembly that a special committee be ap- pointed to conduct a thorough examination.

SACRA- I MENTO, Feb. 9.—One of the most ! anarchistic and vicious bills ever | | introduced in‘ a legislative body is Senate bill No. 314 by Senator | Lukens. If it were possibie in any Leg- islature composed exclusively of Jack | Cades to enact that measure into a law the effect would be to ruin every busi- ness enterprise in the land, particularly in inining and transportation. . The bill provides, in brief, that every foreman or superintendent, section boss, ! timekeeper and every other person in- trusted with authority” of the employer ! to control, command or direct other per- €ons in the same employment shall bé deemed vice principals pf the employer and are not to be considered as fellow 1 | servants with such -employe. It is fur- ther provided in the bill that all em- ployes working together in the same grade are fellow servants, except that employes working in the other depart- ments for the same employer shall not be deemed to be fellow servants. | In the first place, the absent employer | is to be made responsible for all the | blunders and mishaps of his employes, | no matter how well paid or competent they may be. It is the general impres- sion of lawyers at the capital that this bill, if made a law, could never- with- stand the test of constituticnality in the courts. It would be a -flagrant violation of vested property rights and of the ac- knowledged rights of the individual. It tdsk impossible under the wisest management for an employer to become safely responsible for the errors of his employes. The Dbill, if enacted into law, would render it easy for a business rival to | ruin the business of another by bribing a tcreman to commit a blunder whereby much damage would be done to the life, limb or property of another empioye and the innocent employer of the offending | employe would be liable In heavy dam- ages. { Senator Lukens is believed to be a | sane man, or at least reasonably sane, and it seems to be past finding out why he should introduce a bill so anarchistic in its makeup and leveled at the best interests of the State of California, There i= not the slightest possibility that the | bill will pass. It is now in the hands of the Senate Committee on Labor and Capital. i il @ | be passed idly by, and if they aré true the Legislature owes it to itself that they be in- vestigated and the proper action be taken after the truth shall have been determined. Czptain W. G. Leale, a member of the Board of Pilot Commissioners for this | port, who is seeking reappointment to the office, spent to-day in Sacramento seek- ing information regarding the probable | scope of the coming investigation. Cap- taln Leale evinted considerable anxiet but asserted that his only fear was that | Pratt, if forced into a corner. would tell | all he knew and would seek to Implicate the other members of the board in the Jobbery. Captain Leale called upon Purdee and after the conclusion of the | futerview stated to a Call reporter that Gevernor Pardee was very emphatic in his stand that the scandal should be thor- oughly investigated and every member of the commission completel® establish his | funocence or he would clean out the whole hoard and wipe clean the pilot list | if necessary to get rid of every man ha ing been connected with the jobbery. Captain Leale further stated that Gover. nor Pardee was determined that the guil should be punished and would use his fuil | zuthority to see that the investigation | brought to light the entire facts surround. | ing the tainted transactions. Continuing | Captain Leale said: | “All I know of the alleged sale of po- | sitions as pilots directly involving Com- | missioner C. H. 8. Pratt I learned through | the newspapers.

L Thrilling Experience of Samuel Uren1 in the Snow-Covered Mineral | Fields of Bleak Sierra County. e 1 NEVADA CITY, Feb. 9.—A harrowing | tale of suffering and hardship has just reached Nevada City from Slerra Cit Sierra County. Samuel Uren, a well- known mining man, is the victim, and but for the aid rendered him by Miss Mary Devine, a brave Sierra County girl. he undoubtedly would have frozen to death. Uren was engaged in mining at Chipps, two and one-half miles from Sierra Cit Last Tuesday he left camp intending to &0 to Sierra City for provisions. Heavy snows during the preceding ten days had made it impossible to get supples to camp, and his stock of provisions was becoming alarmingly low. It was useless to try to get through ‘the country with animals, and the only recourse was snow- i } had at the mine. Uren, who is a re- sourceful fellow, soon rigged up a pair of improvised shoes and struck out over | the drifted snow, which in same places | Is twenty feet decp and on the level not less than five feet deep. BRAVELY BATTLES FOR LIFE. Uren left camp early in the morning, but had not proceeded more than a mile when his snowshoes broke: It was then through the deep snow, and at every step the unfoftunate man would sink to his shoulders in the snow. His clothes soon | became wet through, and after a brief | exposure to the freezing air the moisture | turned to ice, making progress for the | unfortunate man all the more difficult. | Uren, who i8 strong physically, did not | i \ ilose courage, but headed ‘for the | | river bank, about half £l mile | distant. Though he did ‘not give 1 up -for an instant, it was nearly| 8 o'clock that evening before he dragged | { himself on the ice of the riyer, entirely | | exhausted, and almost frozen to death. | He realized that he would die if he did | not keep moving and he knew that his | sirength was failing. As a last resort he began cailing- for help. Fortunately for him the Devine ranch is situated close by | and Miss Mary Devine from the door of | FOUND DYING ON THE ICE. | Without a moment’s delay she made her | way to the river and discovered Uren ly- | ing on the ice and snow and almost frozen | to death.
