CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, Feb, 10.—The special committee composed of Assemblymen Drew. Lewis Lumley, Foster | and Gleason, appointed to investigate the finances and affairs of the State Home for the Feeble-minded at Glen Ellen, began its work o-night and for nearly four hours heard evi- cnce as to the manner in which the accounts the institution are kept. The principal wit- ness was Dr. W._J G. Dawson, now superin- the Home. purpose of the Investigation is to ascertain what was done with a fund known as _the Jessup trust fund to reimburse which a bill is now before the Legislature. There was nothing in the evidence submitted to-night to show that there had been any misappropri- | etion of this or other funds, but it was shown that the fund had been misapplied. Dawson, since his futile effort of a month ago to as- certein what had been dome with this money, found two ochecks for $818 93 to the Puget Sound Lumber Company and $2714 95 to J. A. Snook & Co., accompanied by Jeceipted bills for those amounts. The baldfce was accounted for. There are other matters which the committee will investigate, but it s now thought it will not be necessary for the mem- | bers to visit the home. - LUKENS' BILL ADVANCES. Opposition Is Pr;p-ring to Defeat It on the Third Reading. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10.—An attempt was made by the oppo- nents of bill No, 314, introduced by Lukens, which relates to the rights of employcs, to prevent it from golng to engrossment and third | e reading this morning, but it falled.

Lukens | forgot all other industries when he arose, and | in answer to Ralston's statement said he could | not sen where the bill would affect the mining | industry. Ralston explalned that the bill | affected all employers and that he only cited | | of which they hold office. the mining industry because that was the only | business he was familiar with. Leavitt, who | i= the labor unions’ champion in the Senats, | wanted the battle to g0 on at this time. He | was willing to have the amendments intro- | duced and defeat them at onge. Shortridge | and Selvage both expressel tha opinion that the bill went too far. Leavitt is beginning to seo this himself and it is very probable that the bill will be materially amended when it comes up for third reading and final passage. —— EXAMINERS AND BARBERS. Woes Appear to Be Accumulating for the State Board. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, Feb, 10.—There is trouble in stora for the State Board of Barber Examiners from both houses of the Legislature, and if the members of the board escape With their Jobs it will be only because they are able to bring to bear some powerful political influence. In the Sen- ate vesterday a resolution was adopted calling for an investigation of the affairs and actions of the board. To-day in the Assembly a bill | was ntroduced to repeal the law by authority | Assemblyman Mc- | Martin of San Francisco fs the author of the bill and he is greatly in earnest in support of Lis measure. It was referred to the Com- mittes on Commissions and Public Expendi- tures, of which McMartin is a member. “’I _consider that the most useless commis- slon or board which exlets in Californi; sny he. ““The barbers of San Francisco a other large cities of the State are objecting to a continuance of the annual hold-up which Is proposed to be practiced upon them by this board, which has nothing to do except travel up and down the State and draw mileage and per 'diem. I have been informed that their ‘work does not Improve the efficiency of the barbers because they conduct no real exam- ination of applicants for certificates. We do not need such a board. It Is not right that barbers should be taxed to pay their expenses, and if it can be dome this session I propose to see to it that the bill which I have introe duced passes this House and the Senate. I know 1 can get a favorable report from my committee.”” Ll LAk PAYMENT OF VOLUNTEERS. Measure Introduced to Compensate National Guardsmen.
