Whether it will reach | the Governor's hands this session remains | to be seen. The opposition to the measure has been keen. Senator Wolfe has led the fight \ the Senate, and Speaker Fisk has sur- rendered his gavel to go on the floor of the Assembly to attack the bill.

He outdid himself In eloquence. His witty and cutting remarks against the bill and those who favored its pas- sage were highly appreciated. He criti- cized the Santa Fe for its action in ne- glecting to carry out the promises it made this State two years ago. He ridi- culed Leavitt and the other members of the Alameda delegation for taking & hand in this fight. He sald they had no right to give away valuable property of San Francisco, when they were bitterly op- posed to glving away their own water front. He called Oakland the bedroom of San Francisco and hoped to see the day when a railroad company would run its tracks right through the Athenian City and rip it up the back.

BILL - I8 FINALLY PARBED, Leavitt threw a few bouquets at Wolfe and Shortridge and spoke in favor of the measure. Wolfe then submitted an amendment suggested to him by Ralston, which read as follows: Said lease shall alsa contain a provision that in the event that any other transcontinental raliroad shall seek terminal %acilities, the per- eon, firtn or corporation to whom eaid lease shall have been made shall share with such transcontinental road the facilities herefn granted upon the conditions that sald road shall pay the sald lessee one-half of the ex- tmprove- WOLFE OPPOSES THE BILL. Senator Wolfe was the principal speak- er in opposition to the bill. He grew elo- quent in his denunciation of the attempt on the part of alleged capitalists to gain possession of cholce property for the pur- pose of floating it on Eastern markets. In part he sald: The vote taken last night' on the amend- ments offsred by me irdicate that further op- position to this measure on my part or on the part of the friends of San Francisco would be uscless but confident of thy Integrity of my | Penses incurred by sald lessee in purpose, 1 propose to fight this thing to the | MeNts of the property leased. end. 1 am opposed to the passage of this bill.

I differ with him. There is nothing in the bill to provide shipping facilities f4r the commerce coming to California. It is a Bl to give ter- minal rights to a mythical corporation. Now, on yesterday, we Were told that behind this bill wers some of the millionaires—the biggest I desire to call attention to the millions of dollars that prominent men of California bave invested in this raliroad, and I propose to call your attention to the men here in the intérest of this bill, Senator Wolfe then read from a slip of paper the names of the shareholders in the corporation. He named a half doz- en who had invested $1000 for ten shares of ock and stated that Walter J. Bartnett, an attorney of San Francisco, was the chief shareholder, having 14,900 shares in his name. Wolfe read off the names and sarcastically alluded to them as leading men of California. He id the alleged leading men of California who are inter- ested in the passage of the bill had shown little interest, as they had not appeared before the committees or the Legislature of California to ask for its passage. Con- tinuing Wolfe said: Two years ago when I opposed the giving. of the China basin, ¥ remember there we: fl. n:m. ber of prominent men who came lore us and favored the paseage of the bill t not so this time. There have been eome gentlemen here lobbylng for Its passage. A gentieman nemed Brown, a man named Griffith, one or two deputy sergeants-at-arms and Mr. Bart- nett are here favoring the bill. I have noth- ing against these gentlemen, because I be. licve they are honorable men. I don't refer to them in a spirit of adverse criticlsm. The only man—the millionaire—who-has subscribed to any stock of this corporation is Walter J. an attorney of San Francisco. He has_an office in San Francisco and sometimes in New York. Mr, Bartnett is an honorable gentieman. 1 congratulate him on being a friend of the millionaires and having amassed enough money from & lucrative law practice tc be one himself. SAYS MEASURE IS UNFAIR. 1 ask you to pause a moment before you pass this bill. I want to say that did I believe that this was a genuine proposition, did 1 believe that this was part of a genuins competing transcontinéntal raliroad, I would secrifice my own objections and give a deed of gift to any portion of the water fromt. I tell you frankly what I think this bill is.. It is simply @ proposition to make money. Senator Wolfe stated that it was an at- tempt to get back money that was sunk its adoption would retard the passage of the bill, he thought it of sufficlent im- portance to be consideéred by the Senate. He said he had absolute good faith in the Governor, the Mayor and the Harbor Commissioners, but he was opposed to glving to any single road what was given to the Santa Fe road two years ago. Lukens interrupted Ralston to ask him if he was the lessee of the Palape Hotel would he, after improving the property, allow some one else to come in and ob- tain a part of it. Ralston ridiculed the question, and said he was surprised that it was asked. He spoke firmly for the adoption of the amendment. Oneal cregged some laughter by an- nouncing that he had heard all morning the statement that there was a pro- gramme. He said, fn order to vote con- sistently in the matter, he would like to know the programme. President Anderson smilingly replied that the motion to refer to a gpecial com- mittee of one was the programme. . The motion to refer was defeated by a vote of 24 to 9. The bill then came up on its final passage and it was passed by a vote of 25 to 10. ‘Wolfe then changed his vote and gave notice of reconsideration. ) MORE MONEY FOR ATTACHES. Some of Them to Remain at Work After Legislature Adjourns. CALL. HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, March 12.—More than an hour of the morning tession of the Assembly was taken up this morning in the introduction of resolutions, the purpose of many of which is to give the at- taches a longer time In which to draw pay from the State for doing little or no work. The regolutions are agiways rushed through about this time every" session. They usually provide, as did a mumber of those to-day, that this or that attache or this or that nufber of attaches be authorized to remaln in Sacra- fento after the final adjournment of the Legislature and that their pay, of course,: con- tinue. There are a number of the attaches whose presence here after adjournment is really necessary, for there is important work for them to do, but there were such & number of resolutions this morning that Pann of Ventura called attention to it by himself introducing not | two eorpora- | | has stirred up the officlals at Washington. | ber I strongly wrged that this -course be pur- | of thejustive of the plea that,. asg you will TN | WELL KNOWN MEMBERE OF THR LOWER HOUSE OF THE PRES- ENT LEGISLATURE. ¥ + + cne. as nearly all the emall arm to be ordered to remain here, also ordered to be in daily attendance upoa them for morning prayer.

Relating - to .Bond Issue Passes the Assembly. SACRAMENTO, March 12.—Senate bill 664 (Oneal), -relating fo .the powers of -the - State Harbor Commissioners, was passed by the Assembly to-day. It is a companion measure to the Fisk bill passed several days ago, au- thorizing that commission to complete the Ban Francisco seawall - for Which work it 1s proposed to issue bonds to the amount of §2,000,000. Under the present law the Com. missioners in awarding large contracts must first estimate what thelr surplus from other sources will be, to be applied 'to the pay- ment of such contract, but such estimate must not be made ori the receipts for more than five years. The bill passed to-day makes it fif- teen years. ———— Camp Carries His Point. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, March 12.—Camp's Assembly constitutional amendment proposing to the people of the State a system of direct legislation to be ap- plied to State offices was passed by the Assem. bly this morning by a vote of 58 to 6 measure had been refused passage previously, but cn_reconsideration Camp amended it so that instead of a petition of 15 per cent of he voters of the States having the effect of preventing the operation of an objectionable luw and its submission to a vote of the peo- ple, 25 per cent is required. According to the last election returns such & percentage would amount to the signatures of more than 76,600 voters. The proposed amendment was {mm diately transmitted to the Senate. It is sidered doubtful it it will pass the upper house, for the reason that that body defeated & somewhat stmilar amendment proposed by Hubbell. i s Saloon License Measure.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, March 12 —Senator Nelson's motion to recon- sider the bill to create a State Board of Char ities and Corrections, rescribing its dutles and powers, was lost this afternoon and the measure will now go to the Governor for ap- proval. This measure was passed the pre- vious evening and Nelson, under a misappre- hension, voted for the bill. He discovered after its passage that certain sections of the bill were obnoxious, and in order that he might set himself right in the minds of his con- stituents, he moved to reconsider. ‘When the matter came up this afternoon Nel. son explained his position. Devlin also favor- ed the reconsideration as he did not care to have a board of this kind interfers with the work of the Board of Prison Directors. The motion to reconsider wag lost. Eicendd Assembly Defeats Two Senate Bills. SACRAMENTO, March 12.—Two Senate bills were defeated in the Assembly to-day. There was a spirited contest over Senator Coggins' bill for' the construction of a State highway in Trinity and Shasta counties. Lein- inger gave the bill faint praise and Finn as- serted that Coggins wanted to build a road to benefit his friends at the expense of the State, but this was denied. The vote was 39 to 30. Welch's Senate bill 27, relating to the rights of personal relation, met a similar fate, being refused passage, 38 to 25. No particular rea- son was given for its defeat, as it was not debated. Gfvernor Signs Three Bills: CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, March 12.—Governor Pardee has signed the following bills: Assembly bill 514, by Mott, relates to the officers of a township. The bill was introduced in the interest of Oakland, as it gives that city an extra Constable; As- sembly bill 318, by Johnson, provides for the purchase of a portrait of Ex-Gevernor Henry T. Gage. The Board of Examiners are em- powered to expend $500; Assembly bill 103, by Olmsted, permits the Board of Prison Direct- ors to employ at least twenty prisoners in the construction of roads to the State Prison at San Quentin. e e Bird’s Claim May Be Defeated. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, March 12.—John W. Bird's claim for $600 s on the Senate's special Assembly gfile. The bill appropriating the amount was Introduced by Jobnson and passed the House. Bird _asks the money as a reward for exposing Frank Bellew, the murderer. The Call published the exclusive story of Bellew's deed, and Bird's testimony brought Bellew to the gallows. It is likely that the bill will fail of passage in the Senate, as Luchsinger s doing his best to defeat it. O S IRE RS Length of Legislative Sessions. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, March 12.—Sanford’s _constitutional amend- ment, relating to the length of legisiative ses- slons, the compensation of members of the Legislature, and limiting the number of em- ployes of both houses, passed the Senate and the.

To-da: however, another special flle was pared, it being understood that on 1 bilis placed thereon the constitution was to be suspended and all the bills passed as measures of urgency. Then the Ala- meda delegation decided to put their bill on that file. This was done by Mott and witnessed by Waste.
