Most of those who were against it voted for its reconsideration. Before the discussion opened Transue the Senators that had helped frame the bill that pugned, they wished to make a public statement, and he submitted the fol- lowing, which was read from the desk: STATEMENT OF COMMITTEE. of the State of California—Gentlemen: Knowledge has come to us of certain state- ments aileged to have been made upon the of the Assembly last evening during the sideration of the committee substitute to mate bill 723, which statements are alleged ade in substance as follows: (1) That William Corbin, secretary of the ntinental Building and Loan Association, ted in whole or in part the provisions ot il That the members of the special Senate nvestigating committee who submitted said betitute were interested financially in the d biil bill was drafted by said com- erests of that class of build- >ciations commonly known as oan and loan associations called he undersigned. Weing members of the vestigating committee of the Senate proposed That Willlam Corbin communicated di- or indirectly with said committee: that an n of said bill: that he could have had possible knowledge of the contents of said before the same was introduced, and assert many of the provisions of sald bill were | orated therein for the purpose of pre- | venting & repetition of business methods al- leged 10 have been pursued by said Corbin Deny that said committee or any mem- ereof is fnancially interested in any way, e or manner in the passage or defeat of bill, whatever to do With the | drarung any Deny that eald bill was drafted in the erest of eny class of buflding and loan as- | soctation®. but on the contrary allege that said | bill is equally applicable to all classes of asso— clations and that we listened to the testimony | of different persons interested in all classes of | associations before drafting said bill and ac- cepted and Incorporated suggestions made by | persons interested in all classes of assocla- tions, and that said bill, as finally. amended in the Senate was considered by us a satls- in its entirety to ail persons af- Siened by E._F. WOODWARD, BENJ, W. HAH Y W, N N. ANDE . B, CURTIN, “If you are desirous of correcting the | abuses that exist in the bullding and loan business you will vote for this bill,” said Transue, ‘““If you do not want such correction, then vote against it. I trust it will be passéd by a unani- mous vote.” John rose to a question of personal privilege. He said that after the dis- cussion of Monday night Senator | Lynch, one of the framers of the bill, | came to him at his deck and told him | he was making a fool of himself. John | told him he was merely representing his constituents, and Lynch then, John stated, called him a liar. “I am for the people of San Luis Obispo,” said John in conclusion. “and no man who has failed to stand for them can hope for future political fa- vors at their hands.” SHARP DEBATE FOLLOWS “The evils that exist are not as bad as some of the evils in this bill.” said Drew. “The so-called locals are build- ing the homes of the State. There are twelve large companies that it is de- sired to regulate, but there are 138 mu- tuals that we must give our protection. I think the bill we have sent to the Governor providing that .companies must pay back on demand the money | of investors is a big step in the right direction and will curtail abuses. “When this bill came up for passage Monday _ night,” said Devlin, “there was no &opy on my desk. I thought at that time the locals were being im- posed upon and voted against the bill. I have studied it since and will say frankly I think it a great improvement over the present law. I shall now vote for it.” The proponents of the meas- ure cheered Devlin. | | “"The original scheme of building’and loan business is excellent,” said Mec- Gowan, “but its execution is faulty. That legislation is needed is admitted. For sixty days committees have been at work trying to get out a satisfac- tory law, and the bill before us is the final result of all that work. The use of the liberties given . some building and loan assoclations is being abused.” McGowan took up the John-Lynch row in defense of the Senator. but LYNCH, RSON, 1 by stating frankly Lynch’s honesty could not be -aues- tioned. When all had answered on the first against the bill. On the first call of the house the bill gained two votes and the opposition three. There was another call of the house, the opposi- tion gaining two and the proponents of the bill one. Chandler changed from “no” to “aye,” but Manwell offset his vote by doing the reverse. There was a tie vote on a demand for a third call of the house, and the Speaker de- cided the question by voting against it. The final vote stood 38 to 37. It takes forty-one votes to carry a meas- ure. ‘Waste, who voted for the bill on Mon- day because he had been on the joint committee that framed it, changed his vote to-day to “no,” his constituents having demanded that he oppose the measure.

NO BARBER BOARD. =aid "bill. do most emphatically | Bill to Re-establish Commission Killed in the Senate. i SACRAMENTO, March 8—The pro- | ponents of the bill aimed to establish | & barbers’ commission “to regulate the | pursuit, business, art and vocation of barbering; to license persons carry- ing on such business and to insure the proper qualifications of persons fol- lowing such business and to enforce sanitary regulations in the shops of | the State,” made a desperate attempt | iin the Senate this morning to pass their measure on reconsideration. They failed hy two votes and the bill is | now dead. As a result the commission | that was abolished by the Legislature | two years ago, after a thorough exam- | ination of its methods, will not be re- vived, and the barbers that want to | hold their trade by installing the most | up-to-date methods will be permitted to proceed on their own lines without | dictation. i After the Senate voted this morning | to reconsider the bill Carter was the first to attack it. He sald he saw no reason why & commission should be re- vived whose methods resulted in more | scandal during its limited existence | than any other in the State’s his- ! tory. | Belshaw said the sole purpose of the | measure was to enable certain mem- bers of the barbers’ assocfations to go through the State and collect 50 cents | from each victim and then go into pol- | itics with the fund thus collected, as | had been done by the late unlamented | commission. bl Senator Rowell said he was unalter- ably opposed to the bill, and had noted that one of the late Commission- ers had been in Sacramento since the| opening of the legislative session lob- | bying for the bill. Its only purpose, so | far as he could see, he said, was to get rid of the harber schools in San Fran- cisco. Instead of fewer schools, he favored more, he said, because he be- | | lieved the thebry of sanitation could be | impressed upon the trade by such in- | stitutions to a much greater degres than by any commission that might be named. The call for the vote found only sev- enteen members in its favor. Senator Pendleton demanded a call of the| house, and several absentees were / gathered in, but out of the lot the bill | found only two in its favor. The bill | “":m then declared defeated by the | chair. —_——— OPPOSES THE PURCHASE.

TO AMEND THE ACT. At the afternoon session Waste sub- ate bill, introduced to supplant the ex- | isting act establishing a building and loan commission, acknowledged to be unconstitutional. It ig thought these amendments will help regulate some of the evils existing in the building and ; loan business. They provide that at least once a year without previous no- tice the comission shall visit every assoclation, count the funds and check the balance with the amount the books show to have been on hand at the hour of the beginning of the lnvem;lfion,i and that the commission shall make a revaluation of real estate -on which loans have been delinquent six months. The last amendment will serve as a means to force investors to pay up. The amendments were adopted. 2 ——e——————— To attend the sale of the Gump Collec- tion is equal to a trip to the art centers of Europe.

The committee progressed | ™ 80 far that it was agreed to take a vote on the treaty to-morrow to determine whether the report shall be in favor of | ratification or rejection. What that re- port will be cannot be determined posi- | tively, although it is believed it will be favorable. The Democrats on the com- mittee have expressed themselves as | against the treaty fundamentally, al-| though they took an active part in the present: the treaty as amended. All of the amendments adopted by of making the question covered stand alone and of removing all chance of it of being required by the Monroe doc- trine. For instance, one of the first amendments strikes out that portion of the second paragraph of the preamble which has been construed as a defini- tion and application of the Monroe doc- trine to the Santo Domingo case. Other important amendments are as follows: That part of the preamble which de- clares that the Dominican Government is in “imminent peril and urgent men- ace of intervention on the part of the | nations whose citizens have claims” is | stricken out and the preamble left to read that the proceeding is on the ground ofrhaving debts “which burden the republic.” FIRST ARTICLE AMENDED. In the first article, which describes the character of the claims this Gov- ernment purposes to adjust, an amend- ment was adopted to include oblig: tions “liquidated and agreed upon. This amendment is for the purpese of giving the treaty application to the ad- Justment of the claims of the San Do- mingo / Improvement Company, the payment of which already has been en- tered on by the agreement under which the United States has taken charge of & number of custom-houses under the protocol of July 31, 1903. The article which declares that the Government of the United States, at ment, shall grant the latter such other proper to restore the credit, preserve the order, increase the efficiency of the civil administration and advance the material progress and welfare of the Dominican republic, was amended so as to permit the Government of the United States to grant this additional assistance if it desires, but it is not bound by treaty obligations so to do. TREATY TO BE BINDING. A new article was added, which provides that whatever is done under this treaty shall be binding on suc- ceeding Governments in the Domini- can republic, so as to eliminate the chance of a succeeding government at- tempting to repudiate ite agreement with the United States. The probability of the treaty being brought up in the future as a pre- cedent was discussed freely in the committee to-day and it was predicted that the procedure was a forerunner of what might be expected to take place in regard to Venezuela. It was declared, too, that this Government might have to take over the Santo Do- mingo country as territory of the United States. In this connectign an amendment will be offered in the Sen- ate striking out that part of the pre- amble whereby the United States agrees to respect the complete integ- rity of the Dominican republic. e = MR. ROOSEVELT'S MESSAGE. e C President. Again Explains Purpose of Dominican Convention. WASHINGTON, March 8.—The Sen- ate in executive session to-day made public the second message of President Roosevelt on the Santo Domingo treaty. The message follows: To the Senate: I wish to call the attention of the Senate at this executive session to the treaty with Santo Domingo. I feel that I ought to state to the Senate that the condi- tion of affairs in Santo Domingo is such that it is very much for the Interest of that re- public that action on the treaty should be had at as early. a moment as the Senate, after giving the matter full consideration, may find practicable. 1 call attention to the following facts: 1. This treaty was entered into at the earnest request of Santo Domingo herself, and is designed to afford Santo Domingo relief and assistance. Its primary benefit will be to Banto Domingo. It offers the method most likely to secure peace and to prevent war In the lsland. 2. The benefit to the United States will con- sist chiefly in the tendency under the treaty to secure stability, order and prosperity in Santo Domingo, and the removal of the ap- prehension lest’ forelgn powers make aggre: slons on Santo Domingo in the course of c lecting claims due to their citizens. for it s generally to our interest that all the islands in the Caribbean Sea should enjoy peace and’ prosperity and feel goodwill toward this coun- Ary. The benefit to honest creditors will come from the fact that, for the first ti this treaty, a practicable method of attempt: ing to settle the debts due them will be I sugurated. 3. Many of the debts alleged to be due from Santo Domingo to outside creditors unques- tionably on their face rvepresent far more money ever was actually given Santo Domingo. The proposed treaty provides for a process by which impa: ex; 1 de- termine what debts are valid and whgt are, in whole or in part, invalid, and will accordingly the surplus revenue available for the payment of the debts. This treaty offers the only methad for preventing the collection of fraudulent debts, whether owed to Ameri- cans or to citizens of other natfons. 4. This treaty affords the most practicable means of obtaining payment for the claims of American citizens. 5. If the treaty is ratified, creditors belong- ing to other nations will have exactly 800d treatment as creditors who are citize; of the United States, and at the same ti Santo Domingo will be pi against un- just and exorbitant claims. If it is not rati- fled, the chances are that American creditors will fs 1 as compared with those of other mtlun..|fl7r '{m|n nmnl,u&lnl ;l;l;ll.d the opportunity to get Wl righttully due lgelr citizens under the proposed ment, will be left to collect the their’ creditors as they see fit: ed, of course, there is not permanent occupancy of e ation and adoption of amend- | | ments.

In the East corpora- tions, financial and charitable, have law and have been very successful and wrought much good. In this State there is now paid to pawnbrokers $300,000 a year in interest at rates from two to five per cent a month.” This afternoon the Senate refused to reconsider the vote passing the bill re- quiring that the lenders of money on chattels shall charge not more than ten per cent per annum on loans and that on each ticket issued by them there shall be printed the law setting forth the limitations placed upon them. Senator Wolfe made a hard fight for the reconsideration of the bill and gave guise of an attack upon the pawn- measure in the interest of money lenders who were not classed as pawn- brokers. Senator Wol ade the point that the clause of the Wil which com- pelled pawnbrokers to give a bond in the sum of $1000 was unconstitutional fid that the bill sought to h unwarranted. Wolfe also called atten- tion to the provision of the charter of San Francisco which gives the police commissioners the power to revoke the permit of any pawnbroker who violates the law. —_———— CHICAGO TO CARRY NAVAL MILITIAMEN Cruiser to Take Detachment From | the South for Target Prac- tice.
