The feature of the bill, aside from the appropriation made, is a pro- vision making statute law of the famous clusive evidence of disability. In presenting the pension appropriation bill to the House Gardiner of Michigan, in charge of the mea , detalled an in- teresting array of information concerning pensions. Forty years after the Civil War, he said, the pension appropriation was at its maximum. There were one million pensioners, all but §3,424 of them from that war, with an annual roll of $189,000000. In the 53,424 were represented veterans of all other wars the country ever had. The Civil War cost $5,000,000,00. Up to the present #ime half as much again bad been paid out for pensions, and Gardiner predicted“that before the end of its pen- sion roll came the first cost of the war would have been equaled. In twenty years from now, he predicted, the pension rolls would contain a half-million names, of which 132,414 would be chargeable to the Spanish-American War. At the present time, he said, the pe n roll cost the Government just one-fourth of all ex- penses. In 1867, one year after the Civil War, the intercst on the public debt was $143,781 and the pension roll 1. Now these two items are practically reversed as to the amount. Gardiner compared this pension roll of $189,000,000 to that of France, with an an- nual expenditure of $26,000,00; Germany, $21,000,000; Austria-Hungary, $10,000,000, and Great Britain, $8,000,000. As to Spanish war veterans, he said that to-day there were more of them on the pensfon rolls than were in Shafter's entire army in Cuba. The necessity of enacting dent’s order No. 78 Into law the -Presi- as provided for in the bill, was explained by Garamner This order was intended to work auto- matically and to make age the only proof of aisability. Commissioner Warner found the order in conflict with statute provis- fons and it was thereby robbed of its | operation. By eliminating surgeons’ fees Gardiner estimated that by enacting the order into law money would be saved the Government and benefit extended to the veterans. The amendment he regarded as | & virtual service-pension law, saying that 1 time it would place every soldier of the | Civil War upon the pension rolls at a maximum pension of $12 a month. YOLO PIONEER PASSES AWAY AT RIPE AGE. WOODLAND, Feb. 8.—Judge John W. | Snowball, one of Yolo’s most prominent | citizens, passed away at his home in Knights Landing last Tuesday. He was | a native of England and 78 years of | age. Judge Snowball came to the | United States in 1844. He studied law in the office of Rufus Choate of M | chusetts. In September, 1849, he left Bay State for California, crossing the Isthmus of Panama and arriving in | California In 1850. He embarked in the wholesale grocery business at Sac ramento, maintaining the business un- til 1852, when after a disastrous fire he removed to Knights Landing, where he started a general merchandise store. In 1853 he married Luc in Kendell, | daughter of William Knight, the first | | white settler of Yolo County. Judge | Snowball was a member of the first Board of Supervisors of Yolo. In 1854 | he was elected Assoclate Justice of the | Court of Sessions under the old con- | stitution. In 1861 he was appointed | | aid de camp to Brigadier General John | A. Sutter of the California militia by | Governor Downey. Judge Snowball is | survived by a widow and four sons and | one daughter. | ——e | Death of Mrs. Margaret 0’Callaghan.

Three bundred and forty-six mem- bers voted for the bill. Seven, all Re~ publicans, voted against it. Applause greeted the announcement of the result by the Speaker of the House, which had given its undlvided attention to the question of Govern- ment rate-making for seven days. Those voting against the bill were, Littlefield, Maine; McCall, Massachu- setts; Weeks, Massachusetts; Perkins, N York; Southwick, New York; eland, New York, and Sibley, Penn- sylvania. Sullivan of Massachusetts voted “present” and was not paired. There were twenty-eight members paired, but these pairs were generally political ones. None of them was made upon the bill and consequently did not indi- cate opposition. The following is a summary of the Hepburn railroad rate bill: The bill, according to Hepburn's statement in closing the debate on the measure, was intended to and did, so far as it could be made to, comply specifically - with the recommendations of President Roosevelt on the rate question. It gives the Intersjate Com- merce Commission authority, when a rate has been complained of as “un- reasonable” by a shipper, to Investi- gate that rate, state whether or not it is unreasonable, and, if found to be un- reasonable, to name a rate which is just and reasonable and fairly ' re- munerative, which is to be the maxi- mum rate to be charged. This rate, so fixed, is to go into ef- fect thirty days after it is announced by the commission, subject during that time to be set aside:or suspended by the commission or-by the courts. After it has gone into effect it is to remain the rate for three years. During this time, the oépinien. has. been expressed %y those wha have participated in the debate, the rate may also be reviewed by the courts, and, if found to be in conflict either with: the terms of the act or with the constitution by being confiscatory, can be set aside by the courts. Another important feature is the definition of the word “railroad” and “transportation” in' a manner ‘to in- clude all auxiliary instrumentalities of the common carrier and to bring them within the control of the commission. This power to name a reasonablé rate and the inclusion of the auxiliaries within the jurisdiction of the commis- sion are said to be the new features. All other provisions are modifications of the existing law. They include pub- | leity of railroad methods, which is to be alded by preseribing a system of bookkeeping and enlarging the com- mission to seven members and increas- ing salaries of members to $10,000 a year. Battleships Sall for Trinidad, WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The battleship di- vision of the Atlgntic fleet, with a tender, has salled from Culebra for Trinidad. It is ex- Plained at the Navy Department that this movement has nothing to do with the Vene- zuelan situation.” It is sald that the ships are simply working out part of a war game in the exceptionaly favorable waters of ‘the Gulf of Paria. CATHOLIC BISHOPS TO HOLD A COUNCIL Cardinal Gibbons Will Pre- side at Meeting in Baltimore. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Feb, 8—The Post- Standard quotes a “reliable authority” as saying that a plenary or national council of the Roman Catholic church in the United States will be held at Baltimore next month, Every Bishop, in the United States must attend and each will be accompanied by his sec- retary and a theologian from his dio- cese. Cardinal Gibbons will preside. The last plenary council ‘was held at Baltimore in 1884 and its deliberations and decrees are now the law of the church in this country. G i MAN AND HIS DAUGHTER SPEAK DIFFERENT TONGU) One Uses German Exclusively and the Other Can Converse Omly in English. MILWAUKER, Feb. 8.—For sixteen years May Kinrode, adopted in her in- fancy, has been searching for her two brothers, her sister and her father, while they in turn have made inquiries in almost every city in the State for | her. While the search of years has | been going on the two brothers and the father have been living in Milwau- kee, within ten minutes’ ride of the girl. The queerest featurq of the family reunion which has just occurred-is that ‘May, after all these years, cannot speak to her own father. He is a Ger- man and ‘speaks not a word of English, having always lived in the German community. May was adopted by Americans who spoke only English. _— THE CALL DINNER SETS READY body, when he dies, belongs to his next of kin | and he canmot give it to another, according to @ decision handed down by Judge S.

Tillman opened the proceedings of the day by referring to a petition vig- orously presented by him from the Red Rock Fuel Company of West Virginia, complaining that the Baltimore and Ohlo Company had refused to permit that company to connect its tracks with the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio, thus, as Tillman expressed it, “bottling up the company.” He said that at the time Elkins had said there was a remedy under the State laws of West Virginia. He then presented a letter from Governor Dawson of West Virginia, complaining of the difficulty in administering the laws. The Gov- ernor added: It may be that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company does not legally own a controlling part of the Baltimore and Ohlo Rallroad Com- any or the Chesapeake and Ohlo Raflway “ompany or the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, but I have no doubt that an in- vestigation will show that the Pennsylvania Rallroad Company practically controls these three great trunk lines, which traverse West Virginia and which are the only means whereby the products of this State, including coal, can be shipped to elther the lakes in the West or other markets in the East. Hence it 15 a fact that West Virginia to-day is in the grasp of a railroad trust which practically says what part of the State shall be developed and what shall not be developed; how much coal shall be shipped out of the State, to What points or ports it shall be shipped, and when it shall be shipped. Of course, it makes its own rates and wa are helpless. The Pennsylvania Railroad is very largely interested in the production and shipment of bituminous coal. It will naturally look after its own interests, and the interests of peoble along its lines in Penneylvania and elsewhere first of all; and' therefore, the interests of West Virginia are subordinated to the interests of these others and our ratlroads, upon which we are dependent, are controlled by an alien corporation practically in competition With us. Foraker expressed the hope that there would be an investigation along the lines suggested by Governor Daw- son. He said the Governor's complaint went to the heart of the rallroad trou- ble throughout the country. TIDES ENDANGER - HOMES OF RICH Unprecedented High Water Near Santa Monica Threat- : ens to Destroy Fine Houses Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8—S8cores of beach cottages along the ocean front, be- tween South Santa Monica and Playa del Rey, many of them the property of wealthy people and finished and fur- nished without regard to cost, are threat- ened with destru: tion, and to-night hun- dreds of men are at work trying to save them. Unusually high tides, almost un- precedented since the long strip of sand became a pleasure resort, have for the last two days threatened to sweep over the property line at Venice and Short Line Beach and to undermine and wash out all the houses along more than a mile of beach frontage. Right to the very doors of the cot- tages have come the waves, scouring out great quantites of sand, undermining board sidewalks and in some places the very foundations of the houses. Despite the: efforts of property owners to save the dwellings, the great waves in many places washed away the improvised bulk- heads of cement barrels and gunny sacks filled with sand. At other places the freakish ocean cur- rents piled the sand up until the strand is now much wider than before. Several hundred feet of board walk has been swept out to sea and to-night, in order to save what remained, a gang of men was put to work sawing the walk into sections, which were dragged back to higher ground by teams. It is estimated that the damage already done will ex- ceed $20,000, and the worst is yet to come. To-morrow morning the highest tide of the month is predicted, and if it is ac- companied by heavy surf, nothing can save some of the fine buildings. If there ‘are no heavy swells, the danger will be ‘greatly lessened. Similar conditions prevail at several new beach resorts below Long Beach. On the Sand Spits, near the mouth of Ala- mitos Slough, there has been a real estate boom Aufing the past year, and hundreds of lots lying only a few feet above the level of the ocean have been sold at fancy prices. Extensive improvements have been made at these various resorts and to-day the waves dashed over por- tions of the beach tracts, cutting out the sand In places and undermining the houses. The losses there will be serious, but the extent of them will not be known until to-morrow. There Is no danger of loss of life. PSSR - PERS CLOUDBURST IN SOUTH. SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 8.—The heaviest ralnstorm in many years passed over this sec- tion to-night, amounting to & series of cloud- bursts along the northern and eastern rim of the valley. Fast Highlands was practically under water at 8 o'clock. The torrent flowed over the top step of Richardson's general mer- chandise store. It also poured through the orchards, where it did great damage. The Santa Fe lost 400 yards of track. At East Redlands the streets are torrents twelve inches deep. Miles of pipe line, numerous bridges and several Mexican shacks were swept away at Banning and Beaumont. At El Casco the Singleton dairy suffered great damage, including the drowning of a large number 'of hogs, The precipitation was very light on the San Bernardino Mountains and also at San Bernardino and Redlands proper.

It Imposes penalties for violations of the law. The bill forbids all persons and cor- porations giving free passes or grants to any political committee or its em- ployes; to any candidate or any of- fice under the constitution or laws of the United States, or to any holder of such an office. The bill forbids passes, franks or privileges being issued to any person which are withheld from any other person for “the traveling accom- modation or transportation of any per- son or property or the transmission of any message or communication.” The punishment for violations of the bill is “imprisonment at hard labor for not more than five years nor less than one year or by a fine not exceeding $5000 nor less than §100.” “Free pass,” as used in the bill, is defined “any form of ticket or mileage entitling the holder to travel over any part of the line or lines of any rail- road, issued to the holders as a gift in consideration of any service performed or to be performed by such holder or any other person, except where such | ticket or mileage is used by such holder in the performance of his duties as an employe of the railroad issuing the same.” Railway mall service men while in the performance of their duty are to be exempt from the provisions of the bill. ——e————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST California Senators Say Packers Have Mistaken Idea of the Heyburn Pure Food Bill. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 8.—Many tele- grams have come from California to Senators Perking and Flint, protesting against the passage of the Heyburn pure food Dbill and urging their support of the measure offered by the National Food Manufacturers' Association. The California Fruit Canners' Association and other canning and packing companies of Cali- fornia have joined in the protest generally on the ground that the trial and conviction of offenders should be seoured before publicity is glven to alleged frauds in the manufacture of foods, and that the manufacturers should be allowed before prosecution to analyze samples of the alleged fraudulent foods. The Senators say that the California pack- ers have @ mistaken ldea of the provisions of the Heyburn bill. This measure was pre- pared by the Agriculturdl Department and is regarded as perfectly fair to the manufacturers o honest. foods. The California Senators will be glad to receive specific suggestions as to proper amendment to the Heyburn bill, but they. lusist that the packers who use pure articles have nothinig to fear from the measure and that It protects California fruit packers against impostors elsewhere who adulterate and misbrand their products. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry, in reply to the request of Senator Perkins for a better ship than the Marion for the use of he Californis Naval Militia, says he has con- ferred regarding the matter with ~Adjatant General Lauck, who will doubtless soon have an officlal application made for a suitable vessel, when the Navy Department will at once take action. The Alert will probably be se- lected for this service. George A. Knight of San Francisco will be among the guests at a dinner which Presi- dent Roosevelt will give to-morrow to Chair- man Cortelyou and other gentlemen prominently {dentified with the Republican National Com- mittee in the last campalign. Superintendent Kimball of the life-saving service has informed Senator Perkins that tele- phonic connection between the Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor life-saving stations will be made as soon as the funds at the dispdsal of the service will permit of the expenditure. Acting Secretary of the Interfor Ryan and Commissioner Richards of the General Lanad Office have concurred in the desire of Governor Pardee to have certain lands granted to the State for a California redwood park. These officlals of the Interior Department will rec- ommend the donation of land for this purpose. Postmasters appointed: Pacific Beach. San Diego County, William_P.
