Great Labor Attends Study of Measures Presented for Signature. —— Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, March 27.—The tension which has been apparent in the office of Governor Pardee ever since the adjourn- ment of the Legislature has relaxed, and | the office force is getting a needed breath- | ing epell. The Governor received delega- tions up to the last minute, and even at | the midnight hour last night he was not | prepared to say that he had taken final | action on many of the bilis. But it was not long after that hour that the full list | was given out by the Governors secre- | taries, but it was not until to-day that the full effect of the acts of the Goverror | were realized. ! It was supposed that in giving the | pocket veto to the bill in favor of thes| State Agricultural Soclety for $0,000 the Governor was crippling the affairs of the | society, but this proves not to be the case, and his action merely substantiates | the declaration of The Call some time ago | that the Governor was quite willing to ald the socléty to clear itself of dekts incurred while advancing the material interests of the State. { A previous Legislature had appropriated suct @ sum for the same purpose pro- vided the soclety would deed its park property in this city to the State. This propriation remains in the State treas- v for the purpose stated, and the pock- ing of the new bill by the Governor the old one avalilable, and it doubt- less will be put into effect. 'ne of the bills which received a decis- | ive pocket veto was that known as the Mayor Schmitz bill, relating to the power to remove appointees to office in cities. As stated in an interview with the Gov- crnor in this morning’s Call, the action of the or was taken on the ground that he t belleve the city charter ot should conflict with con- sions. The Governor re- very claborate arguments by | s Garret McEnerney against the and Abe Ruef for it. That he npressed with McEnerney's pres- ation was evidenced by his pocketing | the bi | the measures receiving the | veto were the bills of Assembly- | Lux of San Francisco curtailing the powers of the Board of Police Commis- the money for the| onal machinery for the ffice W not be avallable 1 appropriation of $40,000. expressed that ve signed the bill f $50,000 for a Gov- hat he should have ie pocket veto to the bill providing known to be heartily a placing a private n e State Capitol ht that he would to locate the res- | where appears, however, | t the Governor was move: DY motives 3 and the offer of the Bank to supply $25,000 ab- without interest for a term of for the purchase of a site will prob- bly be accepted. The Governor, in pock. eting ous other appropriation meas actuated likewise by motives of vari economy One of the most important measures the | agement has a stageful of chorus that | Governor signed was Senator Devlin's bill for an appropriation of $200,000 for river improvements.

They are to pay the claim of Charles Douglas for money expended by him in transporting troops from Nevada to California in 1861: the claim of Julius Hult for $5000 and of William Sullivan for $500 On July 4, M, during the great railway strike, the San Francisco troops were lined up in front of the Sacramento armory.

Senor Tama ort was rejected by 13 to 7. Senor Zayas urged the adoption of his report on the ground that the protection | afforded to Cuban sugar under the amended treaty was uncertain and inef- | feciive. He acknowledged Cuba's friend- ship for President Roosevelt, but added that it was folly to permit that to affect | the arrangements of a commercial treaty. | Senor Bustamente replied briefly to the effect that the amendment regarding sugar did not diminish the protection to be afforded to Cuban sugar. The Senate rejected Senor Za report by 17 to The question of the futility and danger of the condi inserted in the majority re- | port was not discussed. | | should APPEARS JUST IN TIME | TO GET SHARE OF ESTATE Samuel L.

For the small extra toll of the en- gagement, besides De Lussan the man- sings delightfully, an orchestra’ almost Mascagni size, and a production that easily elbows Grau's in its settings. But with De Lussan, even without these fa- vors, the house would still have been a “Carmen” house, that it was last night to the last S. R. O.’s that propped up the back wall while he stamped.

D e o e e ] RESERVES DECISION IN HOTEL NYMPHIA CASE Judge Hebbard Hears Argument in the Injunction Procecdings Re- straining Chief Wittman. Argument on the petition for an injunc- tion restraining Chief of Police Wittman from raiding the resort known as the Ho- tel Nymphia was heard by Judge Heb- bard yesterday. He took the case under | advisement and will probably render a decision Monday. Yesterday’s proceedings in the case were lively because of the struggle the pro- prietors of the resort are making to keep the place open. All sorts of affidavits were flled, some purporting to show that the inmates of the Nymphia were not law breakers, while others mainly from police officers and those thoroughly ac- quainted with the character of the in- mates of the place, tended to show that in keeping the *“hotel” open Lessee James Donahue was violating the law. The attorneys for Donahue also endeav- ored to show that Father Terrence Ca- raher, who is interested in the attempt to close the place, was guilty of showing ravoritism to George Skellinger, keeper of what is alleged to be a similar resort. Judge Hebbard refused to consider such an argument, and told the attorney who sought to place such a charge on record | in the proceedings that he did not place any credence in such a charge.

He ex- plained the breaking of the seal by say- ing that he did it for the purpose of taking out a revolver to protect himself against footpads when he went on shore. The cigars were found concealed in his cabin. 2 Six Panama hats worth $50 each were found in the baggage of Gustave Kirsch, a passenger from Guatemala, on the steamer Panama.

George W. Pierce Tells of Labor of Farmer Delegation. T s George W. Plerce of Davisville, who went East with other representatives of the fruit growers of this State under the auspices of the California Promotion Committee, returned yesterday to this city. He, with G. B. Lorenz and Gardner Pierce, left San Francisco on the 3d day of February. At Manhattan, Kans., Mr. Pierce reports, the California delegation remained three days, giving two exhibi- ticns, one at the Auditorium and one at the Kansas Agricultural College. The purpose of their tour to the East was to induce farm help and farmers to locate in Califorhia. Their efforts were therefore directed to showing how attractive Cali- fornia is from many points of view. From Manhattan the route was to Au- burn, Neb., where an given. The center of the real work to be dome was in Jowa. A stop was made over in progress a regular lowa blizzard, witly a temperature of 20 degrees below zero. Stops were made at Clarinda and In many other places. ports as follows: Clarinda is in the middle of a rolling coun- try, the principal industries of the southern tier of counties being corn and stock. The a: erage income from 160 acres here is §1200 per of the farmer and from two to four children is required and is not counted as an expense against the net proceeds. The winters are long, starting from the middle of October and lasting to the month of May, o that the farmer is extremely fortunate if during the summer scason he can produce enough feed to last his stock through the extended and di agreeable winter. We found that it is a ca: of selling no corn, notwithstanding the fac that he feeds his hogs $15 worth of corn and sells the hog for §20, counting his labor and time and the use of the pen naoght. The country roads are so abominable that they alone should condemn the entire country if Bothing else aid. There were many places where it was next to impoasible to draw a carriage with two peo- things over many roads was an utter {mpos- sibility. The price of farm lands in Iowa e: ceeds by far the value of lands of a similar nature in California, while the returns derived in California are Immeasurably greater. When a farmer in Iowa produces about sixty bushels of corn per acre and recelves about 25 cents per bushel for it, he has a gross income of $13 | per acre, and then he gets as much as can | reasonably be expected under the most favor- able conditions. From this $15 he must deduct an average ex- pense of from $8 to §10 per acre for the cost of labor, interest on investment and taxes. The average crop is about forty bushels per acre, for which he recelves an average of 20 cents per bushel, in consequence of which it will be seen that the margin, for profit is very small Tk of the farmer were conducted in Iowa as on the Pacific Ce ing but bankruptcy would result The cost of EDUCATION IS NEEDED.

Many people are going to Canada not with the hope of getting into a better climate, but get- ting into a section where land can be had at a low figure. Many of them are considering the advieabllity of getting into a better climate, saying that while they are making a change | they might as well consider climate as well as the price of land. It is only a question of ed. ucating them as to the possibilities of Califor- | Dia in soll and cltmate in order (o get them out ere.

CALIFORNIA APPRECIATED. They are all very anxious to learn of ¢ fornia and wherever we went we were giv an opportunity to advertise our meeting, our greatest difficulty being to find a hall large enough to accommodate the people, and if we were to return over the same trip or any one else were to go with a similar cutfit and give two days' notice of our meeting in any of these towns I doubt very much if any hall in the town would accommodate the people who would want to come. The only way to do 8o would be to give two or more lectures in the town, dependi:ig upon its size, and lssue tickets for admission, e: cluding all others. After our meetings we would hear people commenting on the lecture, saying: *It must be so. It must be as they represent it. We have heard this matter talked of a great deal, but here we see photographs of the products and of the productiveness of the soil. We know from these products that the | soil’ must be as they represent it.”" Our wuatermelon picture always astonished the audience. They were impressed with the magnitude of the manner of carrying on ag- ricultural and hortlcultural work here. They did not seem to understand that we conducted the work on so grand a scafe, and I believe the only way to properly place the advantages of this country before these people is by means of photographs similar to the way we did. A thing which also appealed to the peopie we saw was that we had no personal interests to sub. serve and were not selling Yeal estate or any- thing of that kind, and that our motives were only to get California settled with the proper people.

Fully 500 guests were presented te the distinguished poetess between the hours of 8 and 11 o'clock.

Oakland Office San Francisco Cali, 1118 Broadway, Marc! Wellman, Peck & Co., the wholesale grocers of San Francisco, to-day com-. menced suit against the Central Land | Company and Willlam J. Dingee to have a deed conveying nearly threé blocks of | land from the land company to Dingee set aside on the ground of fraud. It is alleged the deed passed without ‘onsiud- eration. The complaint charges that the transfer “was made for the sole and ex- clusive purpose of enabling said defendant Dingee to reap a large and personal proit | for his own use and benefit, to the detri- | ment and damage of the sald plaintiff | stockholder in said Central Land Com- | pany, in the sum, to wit, $5000.” The complaint further states that Din- gee's profits from this transaction amounted to $50,000. It is further alleged | that the secretary of the company has persistently refused to allow the bouks | to be inspected. The land involved in the transfer, which | was made on June 21, 1899, is two whole | biocks and a portion of a third between | Thirty-second and Thirty-fourth streets | and San Pablo avenue and Market stroet The company, according to the com | plaint, is virtually bankrupt. For this | | reason a receiver is asked to be put in| | charge of the company's affairs.

Men Taken Heavily Armed and Equipped With Stock of Burglar Tools. John Woods and George Whitehead Captured in Room and Mike Nolan Later Placed in Prison. et by Last night Policemen James Pear! and J. B. O'Connor made one of the most suc- cessful captures of the year in landing behind prison bars two men who are said to be wanted for the daring burglary of the Tuttle residence at 52 Haight street, and the murderous assault upem aged Mrs. T. V. Matthews. Mike Nolan, | another suspect, was also taken into cus- tody about midnight by Detectives Dinan and Wren. John Woods and George Whitehead, two crooks well known on the records of rime, were taken prisoners in a rooming- house at 413 O'Farrell street just as they were preparing to depart on an errand of crime. They were heavily armed, car- ried black masks, “jimmies,” sand bags, skeleton keys and lock knives. They were prepared for any sort of shady work, and were walking in the direction of the door when the policemen broke in and hand- cuffed them. Two women companions, Ruby Guila and Bertha Gulla, sisters, were with them in the room and the en- tire party was locked up In the tanks at the Central police station. In the room was also found a quantity of stolen property, which will connect the inmates with a number of crimes other than the sensational affair at the Tuttle home. A large trunk, packed with ma- terial, will be brought to police heads quarters this morning. A bicycle and a number of small articles, which are sup~ posed to have been acquired by theft, were found lying about. On the afterncon of March 4 Mrs. Tut- tle was decoyed away from her home and as soon as she was on her way downtown two burglars entered by the front door and beat her mother, Mrs. T. V. Matthews, over the head with a gun when she re- fused to reveal the hiding place of the family jeweiry.
