THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL., THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1905 B _:,M_anufacturers File - ‘Protest With the : Senate. Oppose GivingMore " Power to Inter- state Body. Special Dispatch to The Call ' .SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—Surprise was ‘created in the Senate this morning . when a resolution from the Manufac- tiirers’ and Producers’ Association of -California was received protesting agalnst any action on the part of the legisiature tepding to vest the Inter- state Commerce Commission with the arbitrary right to make rates. The as- - sociation, in Its communication, says that such action would not be to the advantage of business and that the in- terests of the coast will be best sub- served by leaving the authority to ‘make rates where it now stands. . The association suggests, however, that ‘the Interstate Commerce Com- . mission be increased to seven mem- bers, one new member to come from the East, the other from the West. The law under which the commission is now operating, the communication con- cludes, is proper if proper measures be taken to expedite appeals, which would contemplate the establishment of a court of transportation, whose decrees would be final except in cases in which constitutional questions were involved. The. communication was ordered on file to be printed in the journal. A resolution was offered by Senator .- Keane this morning to amend section 8 of article 11 of the State constitution relating to city charters, providing that it shall be mandatory upon Boards --of Supervisors to submit to the voters any proposed charter amendments when the same have been presented by ‘& petition signed by fifteen (15) pe- cent of the qualified electers of the munici- palities wherein they reside, .nd pre- scribing that charters may be amended at intervals of not less than twenty- three months instead of two years as under the present law. This wili obviate the objection raised in a recent Su- preme Court decision, which held that . twd complete rs must elapse before amendments can be voted for at suc- ceeding perinds, as the days of gen- eral elections occur on the first Tues- day after the first Monday in Novem- ber, which frequently does not allow the full expiration of the two-year terms. A further advantage is gained in this respeet, that charter amendments do hot become operative until ratification by the Legislature and these changes permit amendments to be approved by the people on the same days that can- didates for the Legislature are elected, thereby allowing the < mendments to be acted upon at the session immedfately succeeding the election. SALARIES OF GUARDS, Senator Keane also introduced a bill - -providing for the increase of salaries of guards at the State prisons from $600 to $900 a year. Another bill relating to the prisons was- presented by Belshaw. It is an amendment of the bill presented in 1903 by Grove L. Johnson providing for the establishment of a California Relief Committee, the duty of which shall be to oversee, guide and provide employment for men that have been discharged from the prisons .of the State after the expiration of their terms. The bill was referred to the committee on Prisons and Reforma- tories. The bill providing for the granting by California to the Federal Govern- ment of the right to drain the Klamath Basin Lakes, in connection with its reclamation work, and to cede to the Government the beds of such lakes for storage and irrigation purposes was finally passed, but not until after Senator Emmons had filed a petition signed by some scores of citizens of Hanford and Los Angeles asking that the bill be defeated as they are pre- paring to reclaim the lake beds at their own expense. After the passage of the bill Emmons moved for a reconsidera- tion, which was granted, the bill re- taining its place on the file. Before the bill is again taken up the purposes of the petitioners will be looked into. A novel scheme to pay for the work of correcting the channels of the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin rivers and reclaiming the inundated lands of their basins is advanced in a communi- cation received this morning from the California Miners’ Assoclation. The assoclation asks that the Legislature enact a law providing for the volun- tary conveyance to the State by pres- ent owners or the acquirement by the State by process.of eminent domain of all the inundated lands, the same, after their reclamation, to be leased by the State, the accruing rents to be utilized for the payment of the work of reclamation. The communication -was referred to the Committee on Swamp and Overflowed Lands. The ac- tion thus proposed is but a new appli- cation of the Federal irrigation law, ‘which is operating with cuccess.

SOOLT & BOWNK, 409 Paarl Swvest, New PROPOSES AN AMENDMENT TATE CONSTITUTION AITENDL g py )VAI'HJM <. i t President of the Senate appointed a committee this morning to in- vestigate * the financial system of the University of California. Carter was appointed chalrman of the com- mittee and will be aided in his investi- gations by Lukens, Selvage, Leeke and Sanford. The committee will take up its work next week. Senator Welch introduced a bill that will Interest every consumer of gas in the State. It provides that upon appli- cation all gas and electric lighting companies shall install pipes or con- duits without charge to the consumer or deposit by him when the residence of such consumer shall be within 300 feet of the main plpes or conduits of such lighting companies. The bill fur- ther provides that the companles shall cause to be published a complete list, for eight weeks of each year, of all persons from whom they have exacted deposits for meters or other installa- tions, the object being to thus deter- mine whether or not the companies are living up to the preceding provisions of the law. Here is a proposed amendment to the constitution of the State, proposed by Senator Wright, that will receive the approval of the parents of the State. It provides for the issuance to all school children of all books required by the various gourses of study without charge. ere have been many hard- fought battles over the question of free school books, but Senator Wright says this fact does not daunt him and he is sure of the support of both houses at the present session. The last bill on the file taken up for final action to-day is that providing for the decent burial by the various Boards of Supervisors of all ex-soldlers of the United States. It passed without a dis- senting voice. Senator E. I. Wolfe of S8an Francisco presented in the upper house to-day a bill providing for the amendment of the election law in relation to registry and that raised a storm when presented by Atkinson in the Assembly yesterday, it being apparent that it held a ‘“bug.” When Wolfe heard this afternoon that objections had been raised to the bill he announced that he would withdraw it to-morrow. He explained that the bilk had been introduced by him upon re- quest and that he did not look over 1t carefully, leaving this work for the committee. He said he would save the committee this work, however, by with- drawing the bill and seeing that it is put in proper shape before it is again offered. —_— ' PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN. Measures Looking Toward Their Re- lef Introduced in Senate. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—The chil- dren of California will recelve the full- est attention of the present Legislature, Measures looking to thelr protection have been introduced in the Senate by Lukens of Alameda, at the instance of M. J. White, secretary of the Califor- | nia Society for the Prevention of Cruel- ty to Children. Though the measures take a wide range the most interedt- ing 18 that making the sale of infants a felony. That marts where children are bartered away for gold exist in all | of the large cities of the State, partic- ularly San Francisco, is well known, | but by various subterfuges the guilty have generally escaped punishment. The proposed law td do away with this inhuman practice, the tiny victim gen- erally 'being of illegitimate parentage, is as follows: person who willtully sells infant, Bhulld or human Blmm & Any sell an i kind_whatsoever; - —— ONE _OF SAN FRANCISCO'S REPRESENTATIVES IN THE LQW] HOUSE OF THE ETATE LEGISLATURE AND TWO MEMBE! “INTERIOR COUNTIES WHO ARE TAKING AN ACTIVE PART IN PROCEEDINGS. - e & the counting of ballots. This {s the bili | gullty of a felony and upon co viétion shall be punished by imprisonment in the State prison not longer than ten years. Another bill aimed to prevent the abuse of children on the stage of pub- lic theaters was introduced by Sena- tor Lukens. It is said that the pro- posed measure has the unqualified in- dorsement of the legitimate theater managers of the State and that en- forcement of its provisions will fall heaviest on the keepers of penny shows, exhibitors of montrosities and theater- men of like ilk. The feature of the | bill is that it makes the Mayor of every city or the Presidéent of the Board | of Trustees of every township the Judge as to what child should be al- lowed to perform and to_regulate the number of times such chlld shall play and the duration-of performances. puisatte Voot TONTINE SYNDICATES. Senate Commitiee on Commissions and Retrenchments Investigates. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—The Sen- ate Committee on Commissions and Retrenchments has decided that the Bardwell-Ford syndicate of San Fran- cisco, of which J. S. Joselyn is the head, the firm having succeeded the discredited Guarantee Investment Company, is not operating upon legal lines and will so report to the Senate to-morrow. Another tontine syndi- cate of San Francisco, of which one Gunsberger is the manager, is under Investigation to-night and will be re- ported upon later. After the investi- gatlon has been completed it is an- nounced that a bill wiil be drafted which will put all firms that are found to be operating illegally out of business. It was also announced to- night that the investigation of the af- fairs of the Continental Building and Loan Association of San Francisco will begin to-morrow, the principal alm being to determine the solvency of the corporation and the alleged of- fens: of Willlam Corbin, its secre- t: and manager. The investigation will be open. PR RN SOUTHLAND CORPORATION IS VERY BADLY DISRUPTED | President Is a Fugitive, One Director Is in Jail, While Still Another Is a Suicide. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.—With its president a fugitive, one member of its | directorate in jail convicted of larceny, another director dead by his own hands, a fourth believed to be a fic- titious person and the fifth unable to be located, the original directorate of the Southern California Trust Com- pany, a seemingly regularly incorpor- ated institution, is sadly disrupted, The company was organized several months ago and from the number of | its creditors, who are now clamoring | for information as to the money they invested, it appears to have transacted a large business. It had a suite of of- fices in the Braly building and its big- gest bid for business was the sale of numerous lots in San Diego on the in- stallment plan. What the present con- dition of its finances may be can only be conjectured, for inquiry at the of- fices elicits only the information that the officers are out. P RS Committee Favors Normal School Bill SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—The As- sembly bill presented by McGowan, appropriating $150.000 for the Normal School in San Francisco, took another important step to-day toward becom- ing a law when the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly decided to report it favorably. It has already Or any person 11 \y manher or under any preténse or will- | fully offers to give away, part with, indenture or T dlspose of an infant, cblld or human been approved by the Assembly Com- mittee on Bducation and has been passed by the Senate. ROW ENLIVENS THE ASSEMBLI San Francisco’s Delegation Is Divided on Bill Relating to the Assessment Maps ——— T%X COLLECTOR VICTOR Measure Directing Assessor to Furnish Him Desired Data Passes Lower House Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—The As- sembly was enlivened this morning by a rumpus over Assembly bill No. 121, by Atkinson, providing that the maps made annually by the Assessor of the City of San Francisco from the block book in his office shall be turned over to the Tax Collector each year after use has been made of them by the Asses- sor. There was a division of the San Francisco delegation over the bill, which is local to the metropolis. It is always a matter of pleasure to the membeérs from the interior when the, representatives from the metropolis fall out. They like a situation where they can sway the destinies of San Francisco’s own measures. The bill in question was passed at yesterday morning’s session, but Treadwell gave notice that he would move for a reconsideration to-day. This he did and made a speech, which devel- oped the fact that there is a merry row } on between San Francisco's Assessor and her Tax Collector over this seem- ingly trivial matter, the disposition of the annual agsessment maps. The bat- tle has been fought out on the floor of the Assembly and there the Tax Collec- tor has won. It was hinted during the fight that the title insurance companies ot San Francisco were interested. H SPEAKS FOR THE ASSESSOR. | “After the adjournment yesterda; sald Treadweli, when the matter was taken up this morning, “1 received a telegram from Washington Dodgem As- sessor of San Francisco, asking that he be given a hearing on the bill betore it was finally passed. This bill provides for the turning over to the Tax Collec- tor of the maps showing the location of realty in San Francisco, taking away from the Assessor's office what repre- sents the work of forty or fifty years.” Anthony said the transfer of the maps would entail great expense, “1t appears that Mr. Treadwell has in mind,” replied- Atkinson, “the block beoks kept permanently in the office of the Assessor. The maps we want turn- ed over to the Tax Collector are not the ones he refers to at all. The bill con- templates only those maps which are made annually from the block book and which the Assessor changes annu- ally by merely making erasures. The Tax Collector handed me the bill, say- ing his records were not now complete. He gets the assessment roll and other data, but he needs these maps also. 1 have experted the office of the Assessor at various times for years and am fa- millar with it. The other gentiemen, who are opposing this measure, know little about it.” “It seems the bill before us states only the Tax Collector's side,” said Cromwell. “I think the Assessor should be allowed to make his statement.” “The gentleman from San' Francisco says we know nothing about this bill,” sald Treadwell, “and yet he asks us to pass it. What is wanted by those be- hind it is that the State of California and the city of San Francisco shall bear an expense that should fall on title insurance companies. After some further discussion the roll was called 6n a motion to reconsider, which was lost by a vote of 37 for and 22 against, it requiring a majority of all the members to carry such a mo- tion. FIGHT GOES TO SENATE. The bill now stands passed in the As- sembly and the fight between San Francisco's Assessor and her Tax Col- lector over the annual realty maps will be transferred to the Senate, which must also pass the bill before it can go to the Governor. The bill providing how election bal- lots shall be counted, that was handed Atkinson by the Registrar’s office in San Francisco for introduction and and which, when it came up yesterday for final passage was held over because a noxious insect was discovered in its folds, was finally passed this morning with an amendment made by Atkinson that covered the objection, The bill as passed provides, as did the original law, for the placing of the initials of election officers on the backs of ballots for purposes of identification. The ‘Assembly failed to pass Beards- lee’s measure providing that a wife's separate property shall be responsible for debts incurred by her husband for the necessaries of life while they were living together as man and wife. The author gave notice of reconsideration. Gates' measure permitting School Su- perintendents of two or more counties to call joint teachers’ institutes was so passed by the Assembly. Slavin's joint resolution memorializ- ing the Federal Government to set aside a tract of land includi; the Pin- nacles, in San Benito County, as a na- tional park was unanimously adopted. The Committee on Agriculture re- ported in favor of the passage of John- stone’s bill providing an appropriation for an agricuitural farm. At the same time the Committee on Education re- ported favorably the bill presented by Hawkins for the same purpose. —————— INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION’S TROUBLES Witnesses Refuse to Give Testimony That Might Incriminate Themselves. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 2%.—Judson C. Clements, a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, replying before thé House Committee on Interstate and | by this board. Foreign Commerce to-day to a state- ment which he said had been made to | the effect that the commission had not endeavored to enforce the provisions of the law, sald that it was strange that - this should be said by people who have Violated the law. He called attention to the investiga- tion instituted by the commission in the matter of grain rates and packing house products and the injunction pro- ceedings which resulted against the carriers. The result had been, he said, that the giving of rebates and devia- tion from published rates in the form of rebates practically had disappeared. He spoke of the difficulties experi- enced by the commission in obtaining testimony because of the refusal of wit- nesses to testify, on the ground that to do so would be to Incriminate them- selves. —_————— BAMBERG, Jan. 25.—Most Rev.

SENATOR WRIGHT FAVORS FREE SCHOOL BOOKS FOR ALL P (ITIES GIVEN LARGER POWER Territory Now Embraced in Corporate Limits May Be| Excluded by Popular Vote SHARING INDEBTEDNESS Section Cut Off to Assist in Paying Outstanding Bills Against Municipality Special Dispatch to The Cail. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—Among the interesting Assembly bills intro- duced to-day is one by Wickersham providing for the exclusion by popu- lar vote of territory already embraced in the corporate limits of a municipal- ity. The bill provides that the resi- dents of the territory so excluded shall still be responsible for their share of any Indebtedness of the city incurred while they were included in it and that the city shall have the power to tax their property for that purpose until such debt is paid. McGowan presented a bill aimed to elevate the profession of nursing by providing that all those who are grad- uates of some hospital or training school for nurses that may be ap- proved by the regents of the State University may be registered by the | regents and given official license as accredited nurses. It is provided also that the regents shall select five upon examination from those so registered to constitute an examining board and that all nurses, excepting those who graduated subsequent to the passage of the act, who wish to become ac- credited must undergo an examination The bill does not pro- hibit any one from nursing for hire, but provides that none not registered shall style themseives registered nurses. Burke introduced a bill making it unlawful to run tralns or even light engines out of railroad yards without full train crews. The measure also provides that one additional brake- man shall be carried for every ten cars over thirty-five on a freight train. Amerige presented a bill making the act of boycotting a misdemeanor. P D in iy RECLAMATION MEASURES. Congressman-Elect Md¢Kinlay Will Urge Their Immediate Passage. . SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—Congress- man-elect McKinlay of the Second District is in town as a proponent of the measures that will be introduced in the Senate to-morrow or Friday, providing for the raising of $24,000,- 000 to be used for the reclamation of the inundated lands of the San Joa- quin and Sacramento basins. Mc- Kinlay said to-night that he was go- ing to use every endeavor to secure the passage of this bill, and aleo to secure Congressional relief, because if the great reclamation plan is carried through it will mean that lands ca- pable of maintaining 10,000,000 peo- ple will be recovered for the use of the people of the State. The great pro- blem of California, he said in conclu- sion, is to increase its population. No better plan could be devised than to reclaim these rich lands and place them at the disposal of the tillers of the soil. —_—— DEMENTED MOTHER TRIES TO KILL HER CHILDREN Loads Revolver With Wrong Style of * Cartridges and Lives of Little Ones Are Saved. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.—Only her ignorance of the use of firearms pre- vented a demented mother from mur- dering her five children and taking her own life to-day, and to prevent the possibility of a second attempt on her part the authorities to-night took the children from her and placed her where she will be properly cared for. The mother is Mrs. Jane Washington (colored), who has worked for some of the best known families of this city, among whom she is regarded as being above the average of persons of her station in life. This afternoon she ap- proached a policeman and, showing him a revolver, asked him why it would not shoot. The weapon was in perfect condition, but the officer found that it was loaded with rim-fire cartridges instead of those of central fire and with such cartridges the re- volver was useless. In response to the questions of the officer the woman finally admitted that she had made repeated attempts to fire the weapon at her children and she wanted to know how to shoot it. An investigation showed that she had used half a box of cartridges, not one of which had ex- ploded and this only hal prevented a tragedy. The officers found the woman'’s flve children locked in a room and the eldest told how the mother had re- peatedly stood them in line and snap- ped the revolver at them. The mother told a rambling story, but the burden of it was that she had been told that her husband, who is in a hospital, would dle before the end of the ‘week and she had decided to send the: children to heaven s0 that he would meet them there and then she intended to take her own lifevso as to join them. The woman's mind had given away under the burden of trouble. Her husband’s illness had taken the money which should have gone for food and the family had had nothing to eat for several days except what neighbors had given them. The children were taken in charge by the Humane Soclety and the mother prop- erly cared for.

Visit Sacramento to Fight the Proposed Measure. - IS NOT FAIR TO THIS CITY Special Dispatch to The Call SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—A delega- tion of San Francisco school officials | reached here thig afternoon to oppose the bill introduced by Rowell in the; Senate and Slavin in the Assembly | providing that the apportionment of State school money shall be made on a basis of $300 to the teacher instead of the number of school children as at present. In the party were Superin- tendent of Schools Langdon, School Director Roncovieri and Principal Ce- cll Mark of the Crocker Grammar | School. Dr. d'Ancona, chairman of | the finance committee of the Board of | Supervisors, came up on the even(n!.‘ train to help out. | Langdon, Roncovierl and Mark | talked to many legislators during the | afternoon and explained to them the, loss—$215,000—San Francisco would | sustain if the bill became a law. Though the city pays $1,300,000 of State | taxes she gets but $865,000 of it back in school money on the apportionment made on the basis of the number of| pupis. ! Another joint meeting of the Senate and Assembly committees on education was called for to-night at State Super- | intendent Kirk’s office, but there was| not a quorum of either committee bndl no action was taken. Senators Rowell, | Keane and Wolfe and Assemblymen Bates, Jones of San Francisco, Anthony, Chandler afd Atkinson were there to meet the San Francisco visitors. It was pointed out by the latter that if the Supervisors of S8an Francisco were unable to make up the deficier-— the proposed law would create, teachers’ salaries in the metropolis would have to be cut or the school term shortened. Attention was also called to the fact | that hundreds of San Francisco census | school children are maintained at paro- chial and private schools and that their parents have to pay the State tax without deriving any benefit. Alameda and Los Angeles would | also suffer under the proposed law, as they are in a similar position to that of San Francigco. Another meeting of the committees will be held to-morrow night. It is thought a compromise measure will be agreed upon. § RS PETROLEUM INDUSTRY. Bill Is Introduced in Assembly Pro- viding for State Refinery. SACRAMENTO, Jan, 25.—The most radical bill pertaining to the oil indus- try that has been introduced before this Legislature made its appearance to-day. It is a bill by Assemblyman John of San Luis Obispo, providing for the establishment of a State refinery to refine oil for public institutions as | the word refine s applied to the prepar- ing crude petroleum for various uses.” 1t is also provided that the “‘surplus so refined shall be sold to the best ad- vantage.” The bill simply aims to place the business of oll refining in the hands of the State of California. It names a commission to be composed of the Gov= ernor, Surveyor General and the man- ager of the refinery, the latter to be ap- pointed by the Governor, and shall re- ceive a salary of $5000 a vear. The manager, it is set forth, shall take steps as soon as appointed to secure a site, either by purchase or donation, and also to acquire water rights and producing oil wells and shall lay and operate pipe when the refinery shall be established. All purchases made by him shall be approved by the rest of the commission before they shall be valid. An appropriation of $250,000 is pro- vided to build and equip the refinery. The purchase of the oil refined by the State for the use of public institu- tions is made mandatory uponm the managers of such institutions. It is provided that the manager of the refinery may be removed for cause approved by the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court or any Judge of the District Court of Appeals in the dis- trict where the refinery may be located. | The bill if it becomes a law will go into effect under a clause it contains on January 1, 1906. s A SALARIES OF JUDGES.

His meas- ure provides for an increase from $4000 to $5000, instead of $6000, as wished by the San Franciscans for their judiciary. The bill fixes the rate of compensa- tion in many other counties. It pro- vides that the Honor of Alpine, who~ ever he may be, shall gather to his craggy nest the sum of $2000 annu- ally. In the $4000 list are placed San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Yuba, Sutter, Sacramento, Butte, Nevada, Sonoma, Colusa, Mon- terey, San Luis Obispo, Shasta, Siski- you, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Marin, Mendocino, Tehama, San Bernardino, Kern, Placer, Humboldt, Tulare, Fres- no, Solano, Yolo and Contra Costa counties. Many of these are in the $3000 class now, but the Judges of some of them already receive $4000. In the $3500 class are placed Ama- dor, Calaveras, Stanislaus, Bl Dorado and Tuolumne counties. It looks as if the San Francisco del- egation would have to stand for the raises in Los Angeles and Alameda, at least, If it wishes to get an increase for its own Judges. As a concession it may get the $6000 stipend asked for. Beardslee of San Joaquin intro- duced a bill providing that one addi- tional Superior Judge be added to the bench of San Joaquin, which now has two. This puts the San Joaquin dele- gation into the salary fight. The bill providing for an increase in the bench of Los Angeles of three Su- perior Judges has passed the Senate, but is still on the third reading or final passage file of the Assembly. it S s Favors Anti-Trading Stamp BilL SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.—Senator Keane's anti-trading stamp bill re- cefved a unanimous recommendation for passage by the Senate Judiclary Committee to-day, after an extended discussion of its legal and practical merits. The validity of the bill is based upon the provisions of section 26, article 1V, of the State constitu- tion, prohibiting lotteries or gift en- terprises, or the issuance of tickets for such purposes.
