Opposition Shown to Measure Intro- duced to Untie Hands of Mayor. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 5.—Assembly bill No. 517 is having & hard time of it in the Senate. This bill was introduced by Bolsson at the request of Abe Ruef, who is looking out for the interests of Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco. It amends the Civil Code and | prevents any injunction upon the exercise of a public or private office in a lawful manner by the person ‘in possession, or to restrain the removal of any public officer or official by the appointing power, or to restrain any oppointed public officer or ofticial from entering into possession of or from performing any duties of the office te which he may have been appointed. As was stated in The Call yesterday Dr. A. P. O'Brien of-San Francisco is against the bill. The doctor laid aside Lis duties as Health Officer of San Fran- cisco and came up here to give it battle. He fears if it passes he will be prevented from enjoining the Mayor from sending bim out of office. Senator Neison, who is making the fight in the upper house, says it is not retroactive and-does not affect O'Brien. It is sald that the Mayor intends to re- move several city officials if the bill passes. Abe Ruef and George Keane, the Mayor's private secretary, are here do- ing good work for the bill. When the measure came up this after- noon for second reading, Bluer moved to have it referred to the San Francisco delegation. He argued long, but to no avail.. He told the members of the Sen-. ate that it was an attempt on the part of Mayor Schmitz to secure greater power. He called the bill ridiculous and appealed to the Senate to restrain Schmitz from going ahead in his political ambitions. The motion to delegation, which is a standing commit- | | tee, | tion to kill the bill by ‘er it to the | made a motion to prevent it going to second reading. © This was also lost. Shortridge came back with anotier mo- striking out the enacting clause and this in turn was de- feated. The bill has gone to engrossment and third reading and will take its place on the file. Nelson feels certain that he will pass it. He is very popular with “the members of the‘upper house and he is be- | ing given excellent upport. PR SENATE PASSES LABEL BILL. Provides for vnhm Stamp on Printed Matter Furnished State. CALL HBADQUARTERS, FACRA- MENTO, March 5.—It took a call of the Senate and a lot of energetic work on the part of Leavitt to pass Senate bill: No. 376. This bl was introduced by Bun- kers and provides for the use of the unfon label upon printed matter furnished by the State of California. It being strictly a labor union measure, Ralston opposed it. Other Senators vot- ed against it on the ground that it was class legislation and was therefore uncon. stitutional. The bill reads as follows: Section 1.—All printing done by or for the State of California, or for which the State of California is chargeable, including reports of State officers, State boards, book pamphlets, blanks, letteriieads, envelopes and printed mat- ter of every kind and description, save and except certificates of appointment and _election to office, shall bear the label of the Allied Printing Trades Council, or the label of the International Typographical Union of North America (also the International Printing Press- men’s Union Label), as registered with the Sec- retary of St Section 2.—No officer of accept any printed matter, save that specific- ally excepted In section 1 of this act, for which the State is chargeable, which does not bear the label of the Allied Printing Trades Gouncl, or the label of the International Typo- the State shall graphical Union of North America (also the International Printing Pressmen’s Unlon Label).

CALL HEADQUARTERS, BACRA- MENTO, March b.—Assemblym: Mur- phy’'s constitutional amendment No. 23 was killed in the Senate this afternoon. It related to monopolies or combinations by individuals, corporations or assocla- tlows controlling prices or limiting or monopolizing or restricting the number of buyers, dealers, sellers or purchasers. The Senate was in no humor to pass Murphy's bill, as a similar measure, introduced by Senator Hahn, patterned after the famous Sherman act, was so strongly opposed that Hahn withdrew it. Murphy's amend- ment was almed as an awful blow at trusts. Following is a section of the de- feated amendment: Section 22, Any combination by individ- uals. corporations or associations (other than producers of the products of the soil) having for its object or effect the controllin® of the price of any article of manufacture or com- mérce, or the cost of exchange or_transporta- tion or limiting or monopolizing or_restricting the number of buyers, sellers or purchasers, or conferring the ex- L e e a a Y ] Having purchased the entire artist ma- terial business of the Bass-Hueter Paint :umNpany. and being agents lrr ‘Winsor ewton, gives us tl onl stock of artist ml\a' 31” lzl ’owl coast.

Amended Measure Passes Senate After a Short Discussion. CALL HEADQUARTEM®S, SACRA- MENTO, March 6.—The much debated and amended employers’ liability bill, 304, introduced by Luchsinger, passed the Senate this morning. 1t reads as fol- lo —An employer is mot bound to i cmploye for losses suffered by | the latter in consequence of the ordinary risks {of the business in which he is employed, mor in consequence of the negligence of another person employed by the eame employer in the same general business, unless (the negligence causing the injury was committed in the per- formance of a duty the employer owes by law to the employe), or unless the employer has neglected to use ordinary care in the selection of the culpable employe. ‘When the bill was read before the final passage Luchsinger arose and said this bill had been threshed out on the floor of the Senate; that the raiflroad company had got what it wanted; the mine owners had got what they wanted and the labor people had got the bill. The passage of the bill proved a signal victory for Senator Lukens. Strong in- fluence was brought to bear upon him to have him withdraw his amendment which read: ““The negligence causing the injury was committed in the perform- ance of a duty the employer owes by law to the employe.” Lukens declined to keep his hands off and in the end his amendment was adopted. Amendments were offered by various Senators who recognized the principle of vice-principal. No one denied the prupriety of some legislation upon this subject. In fact all united in approving of the legal doc- trine of liabllity for the negligence of a vice-principal. It became a contest be- tween members who werc striving fo: the best expression of the doctrine in a stat- ute. The existing law ou that gubjoct is Section 1970 of the Civil Code, Which has been construed to make no distinction in grades of employment o function of em- ploye. Senator Lukens' amendment selected as the criterion for determining when an employer is liable for injuries to an em- ployve, caused by the negligent act of another employe, the character of the or function that tve negligent em- oye was performing when he caused the injury. If the act was in the perform- ance of a duty which the law imposes upon the employer, then tke latter is made responsible for all the injuries caused by negligence in performance of the duty. The only answer ever made to the position taken by Senator Lukens was that it could not be ascertained how much such a liability mlght cost the em- ployers of labor. The bill was rushed to the Assembly. Ayl o i Gty Drug Clerks’ ‘Bill Passes Senate. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 5.—Senator Woife's bill to regulate the work and hours of em- ployes engaged In selling at retail drugs and medicines and compounding physi- cians’ prescriptions passed the upper house this morning. The bill provides that no drug clerk shail labor for more than ten hours a day, divided so as not to embrace more than eleven hours. Any firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this bill will be deemed gull- ty of a misdemeanor and will be punish- ed by a fine of not exceeding $500, or by imprisonment for not exceeding six months. y s BT LAy Business Men Favor the “Bulk” Bill. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 5.—Senator Wolfe plloted a number of San Francisco business men to the Governor’s office this aftérnoon in order that they might impress upon him the necessity of signing Senate bill 19%. This bill is known as the “Bulk bill” and aims to prevent a retailer from selling his entire stock in bulk, without giving five days’ notice by filing it in the Record- er's office. In the party were H. D. Loveland of Tillmann & Bendel; Gus Brenner, Mr. Schutz as Bros. & Co., President Stulz of the Retail Grocers’ Association and Robert Bennett, secretary of the San Franeisco Credit' Men's Association. el e Legislators Will Work Without Pay. CALL HEADQUARTERS, BSACRA- MENTO, March 5.—After to-day members of the Legislature must labor withéut compensation. Both houses have been In session sixty days and their pay will be stopped after to-day. It will be necessary for the members to stay here until the 14th inst., as there is a great deal of busi- ness to transact. Both houses are hold- ing night sessions and bills are being pnud at a rapid rate. The Governor has more than fifty bills in his office awaiting his approval. - ° 8] Governor and Secretary | | lLawyers Question New Divorce - Statute. ; [Contend That It Is Not Yet in | ! | | Operation. ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- | MENTO, March 5.—Lawyers have been in communication with the of State to ascertain whether Assembly bill £3, which was signed by the Governor, went into immediate effect. The bill originally set forth that it should go into | effect immediately, but when it was amended in the Senate that section was stricken out. Under the provision of the constitution the act does not go into ef- fect until sixty days after the Governor has affixed his signature. As the bill relates to actions ‘of di- vorce, the legal fraternity is materially intetested in it. The new law reads as follows: i Y In actions for divorcs the court must file i decision and conclusions of law as iw oth | cases, and if it determines that no divorce | shall be granted, final judgment must there- upon be entered accordingly. If it determines | that the divorce ought to be granted an inter- | locutory judgment must be entered, declaring | that the party in whose favor the urt d cides is entitled to a divorce, and from suc interlocutory judgment an appeal ma: taken within six months after its entry, in the same mannet and with like effect as if the | Juégment were final. | When one year has expired after the entry the court on | of such interlocutory judgment, motion of either party, tion, may enter the final jud the divorce, and such final judgment shall | store them ‘to the status of single persons, and permit either to marry after the entry thereof; | and such other and further relef may be | necessary to complete disposition of the action, | but if any appeal is.taken from the interlo- cutory judgment or motion for & mew trial | made, final judgment shall not be entered until such motion or appeal has been finally | disposed of, nor them, if the motion has been granted or judgment reversed. The | death of either party after the entry of the in- | terlocutory judgment does not impair the power of the court to enter final judgment as | hereinbefore provided, but such “entry shall | not validate any marriage contracted by either party before the entry of such final judgment, | nor constitute any defense of any criminal | prosecution made against either. An effort was made to delay the sign- | | ing of the bill-in order that the new law would not go into effect immediately. This play for delay was made in order that final decrees might be signed before the Governor's signature made it a law. It is anticipated there will be a rush ! for divorces within the next sixty day Those who are legally separated before the new law goes into effect may go to Reno and be mafried, but after sixty days this will be impossible, as the inter- locutory decree will not be entered at once nor the final judgment entered until a year later. It is believed the new law will discour- | age divorces, Inasmuch that persons de- siring to obtain divorces .in order to | ruarry some one else cannot do so within | a year, and cold feet may supervene. [ O R LEASING OF ISLAIS CREEK. | Representatives of Western Pacific| Railway Visit the Governor. SACRAMENTO, March G5.—Attorney Walter J. Bartnett and other representa- tives of the newly incorporated Western Pacific Railway Company called upon the Governor to-day for the purpose of dis- cussing Senate bill 86, introduced by | Lardner. The bill empowers the State| Board of Harbor Commissioners to lease | State lands and all seawall lots that may | be reclaimed by such improvement for | shipping, railroad terminals and general | transportation purposes. The newly incorporated railroad desires to lease Islais Creek for a period of forty | or fifty years in order to secure a ter- minal. It is the purpose of the Western 000,000 1n building wharves and filling in this creek. The bill iIs similar in its na- | ture to that introduced at a previous ses. | sion to permit the leasing of China basin. The road will extend from San Franeisco to Salt Lake City. The road is capitalized | at $30,000,000, of which $1,500,000 has been subscribeded. The subscribers are Henry F. Fortman, J. Dalzell Brown, A. C. Kains, John Treadwell, F. W. West, Wal- ter J. Bartnett, James Treadwell, David F. Walker, George A. Batchelder, John Lioyd and C. A. Gray. The bili is in the second reading file and is to be amended. It is sald the Gov- ernor favors the following amendmerit to the bill: For the purpose last named of making this lease the Governor of the State and the Mayor of the city and county of San Francisco are hereby constituted members of sald Board of Harbor Commissioners, with like powers and rights as other members of said board. Senator Lardner is of the opinion that there will be no opposition to his bill, as the Senators realize that its passage will bring Eastern capital into the State. Assembly Passes Seawall Bill, 1 SACRAMENTO, March 5.—Without di- vision or debate the Assembly passed ta- day Assembly bill 886 by Fisk, providing for the completion of the seawall of San Francisco. It is entitled “An act to pro- vide for the issuance and sale of State bonds to create a fund for the construe- | tion by the State Board of Harbor Com- missioners of a seawall and appurte- nances in the city and county of San Francisco; to create a sinking fund for the payment of said bonds and providing for the submission of this act to a vote of the people.” The purpose of the bill is clearly~expressed in the title.

One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest ,000 grains of meat, eggs or other whole- some food,.and this claim has been prov- en by actual experiment which anyone can perform for himself in the following manner: Cut hard boiled eggs into very small pleces, as it would be if masticated. place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm water heated to 98 degress (the tempera- ture of the body) and keep it at this temperature for three aml one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungty boy. The point of this experiment is that what Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle it will do to the egg or meat in the stomach and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a littls child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and benefit If its digestion s weak and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular daily use are easily ex- plained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetabie essences, as- eptic pepsin, dlastase and Golden Seal, which mingle with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dypepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which stm- ply irritate and inflame the intestines. When enough food is eaten and prompt- Iy digested there will be no constipation, nor in fact will there be disease of any kind, because good dige tlon means good health in every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are world wide and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cts. for full sized package in every drugstora in the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe.
