QUESTION OF FEDERAL PATRONAGE Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 11.—Frank P. Flint, United States Senator-elect, was asked this aiternoon on behalf of The Call where he would be found in the event of a clash between Presi- dent Roosevelt and the representatives of the great trusts and railway corporations of the country. He replied: “I will stand by the President. You cannot make the declaration in this respect too strong for me. I now say that it is my purpose to resign the attorneyship of all corporations for which I am counsel. This includes the Associated Oil Company. I will accept no employment from railway or other corporations during my term as Senator, and my law partner will take th I am heartily in accord with the. President in. same course. his efforts to broaden the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission and to abolish rebates and regulate private car lines.” ALWAYS: ¥OTED FOR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS. It was remarked to Mr. Flint that much had been said the quiet during the Senatorial campaign to the effect that he had been a Cleveland Democrat. : “There is no- truth in the story.” said the Senator-elect. “When 1 was studying law 1 held a clerkship in the oftice 8D R. Risley, United States Marshal. buts1 have voted right along for Republican Presidents. This fact is well known to Republi- cans in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Reports to the contrary have no foundation in fact.” As the topic of Federal patronage is already engaging the at- tention of the Legislature, Mr. Flint was asked if there was any truth.in the stories that promises of patronage had already been made and that several aspirants for lucrative positions in the Fed- eral service had been slated. DISTRIBUTION OF FEPERAL PATRONAGE. The Senator replied: ‘““There is absolutely-no truth in these steries. 1 have not made a single promise in this regard and no one has been authorized to make any promises for me. I shall be guided in the distribution of patronage by the judgment of Sen- ator Perkins and the recommendation of the Republican organ- ization and party leaders in this State. The Republican State Central Committee, of which General Stone is chairman, and the several county committees throughout the State will be recognized as elements of the organization.” The Senator-elect frankly responded to all the inquiries pro- pounded, and expressed special delight over the manly letter from George A. Knight. He spoke in the very highest terms of his old friend, genator Thomas R. Bard, and expressed sentiments of friendship for Arthur G. Fisk and Henry T. Oxnard. RIDESHIS [STEANSHIP “DIKE” ON | ASHORE O SIDEWALK| ~ FIRE ISLAND on Stanford Professor|Believed to- Be the Arrested and Special Dispateh to The Call. PALO ALTO, Jan. 11.—Professor C. H. Gilbert, head of the department of zoology of Stanford University and chairman of the scholarship committee, was arrested last night for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk, contrary to a city ordinance, and on appearing before Justice M. H. Thomas at noon to-day ‘was fined $10 for his indiscretion. The ordinance under which Professor Gilbert was fined went into effect on January 1, and was intendeG as a pro- teotlon against student “‘sprinters,” who_race from the university through Palo Aito to their boarding places. The fact that a university professor was the first to be arrested has caused con- siderable amusement among the citi- zens. of Palo. Alto and aptual hilarity among the students of the university, Wwho regard the fining of Dr. Giibert as & huge joke. = - Liner- Lombardia From Genoa, NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 3:30 a. m.—A large steamship s ashore on Fire Island Beach.

There is a general feeling that the election of a Republican of the.south will tend to the perpetuation of unity and strength in the party. No scan- dals or stories concerning the lavish or imporper use of money mar the har- mony of the occasion. In all the camps it is conceded that the Senator-elect is a high-minded and deserving citizen whose career in the United States Sen- ate will reflect credit on California. ‘While there are many comments on the line that the ‘‘organization” early in the: campaign slated Flint for the toga, the best information obtainable is to the effect that the Herrin or rail- “hands off” until last Saturday night, when the head of the law department decided to send Ruef to. Sacramento to settle the fight by casting his strength in favor of Flint. It was positively known at railroad headquarters that Ruef would not help Knight.

Whe#t Jim Gillis programmed the Sacramento delegation for Knight, Flint was depressed, but the depression was soon relieved. It transpires now that the transfer was made in order to keep Knight in the field, by holding out to him the prospect of ultimate suc- cess. The letter from Senator Bard to Dr. Rowell, which the latter now discloses, is accepted as proof that the Senator never cared very much whether success or defeat should follow his reluctant candidacy. Dr. Rowell wired to the Senator to-day that the game was fin- ished. He expressed his own sense of disappointment with the hope that the defeat might prove a blessing in dis- guise. The men whc gave their sup- port to Bard are not sullen or vindic- tive. They feel that they gave their support to one of the noblest men of California, and they refer with spe- clal satiefaction to the belief that they will be known to Republicans of the future ‘as men who refused to bow to the rallroad yoke.
