WASHINGTON, May 25.—No_vot: was taken today in the Senate Com: mittee on Privileges and Elections on the right of Semator Smoot of Utah te retain his seat in the Senate be- cause it developed that in the nu- merous changes of date for the meet- ing - Senators Hopkins and Dolliver failed -to receive their notices that action was to be taken today. Both of these Senators, as well as Sena- tors' Depew, Bailey and Frazier, were absent. The three last named, how- ever, had left proxies. The commit-~ tee adjourned until Friday next. Opposition to voting at the present session was voiced by. three or four Senators, who said that the railroad rate bill had taken so much of their time that they had not an oppor- tunity to read the authorities quoted by the attorneys on_ both sides of the case in making their final argu- ments. On this account they com- plained that they were not in posi~ tion to vote intelligently. Chajrman Burrows and the Demo- cratic Senators “present objected . to permitting the case to go ‘over until next session, arguing that the Sena- tors could read the authorities next week. Notices of the meeting to be held on Friday have been .ordered mailed on Monday, in order .that there may be no misunderstanding concerning it. | It is known that Senator Depew | cannot be present, and if all the others are in attendance the vote may result in a tie.

PETALUMA, May 2%.—Davie, the 8- year-oid son of ex-Police Officer Louis P. Mego, by sheer grit, saved the life of his 8-year-old brother, Louis, after a night of agony and exposure in the storm. The children were sent on an errand to the Bowen ranch, ‘below the town. In an endeavor to make a short cut.they lost their way, turning into the hills, instead of keeping to the road, This morning Da- vie appeared at the Ducker ranch, wet and coatless. He stated his brother had fallen into a ditch. He had pulled him out, but as the little felloy could not walk he had left him lying in the fleld. It seems that in attempting to jump the ditch Louis 'fell into the water. - Not being able to lift him out, Davie jumped into the water after him. All night long he held his brother’s head out of water, keeping him from drowning. At daylight he d his. unconscious brother to the bank and staggéred. . te Ducker's for help, : JUNK BUSINESS. 5 PROFITBLE Arg Many Applicants Heard by Police Board. The Police Commissioners met yester- day afternoon for four hours, and most of the time were occupied in listening to applicants for permits to sell junk. There | D& were over seventy of them, including sa- loon-keepers, among them Jack O'Connor and Abe Becker and Lew Powell, the well-known amateuy pugilist. Most of the petitions were granted, At the request of the defendants the cases of Patrick W. Flynn, Twenty- fourth and Alabama streets; R. P. Smith, Pine and Webster streets; J. Williams, 240 East street, and Henry Rohrs, 8 Ocean terrace, eited to appear to show cause why their licenses should not be perma- nently revoked for selling liquor in viola- tion of the Mayor’'s order, were continued. In the case ot Herman Frey, 1401 Ellis street, the board, after hearing the evi- dence, reserved its decision till Frey ap- plied for a renewal of his license. The license of Herman Leonhardt, Twenty~ fourth avenue and Fulton street, was per- manently revoked. The trial of Policeman W. E. Cooney, charged with unofficer-like conduct, was called, but a continuance was asked for 2 week andl was granted. Later Cooney sent in his resignation and hoped it, would be accepted, as he had paid dearly for his first error. The resignatlon was ac- cepted. On May 12 Cooney, while intoxi- cated, had an altercation with A, G. Hie-'| ropimus at Lombard. and Scott streets and fired a shet at Hieronimus. . A letter was read from Rev. Samuel C. Patterson, stating that at a uniof meet- ing of ministars on May 21 a coimmittee had been appointed to walt upon the board and Chief of Pplice to express the thanks and apprec pf that body for the successful . ition of affairs during and after the: ake and fire, and asking when it be convenlent the committee. id he had no Commisisoner.
