WANT SECOND SESSION. Los Angeles Soloms to Ask Conmsidera- tion of Consolidation Scheme. RAMENTO, June 4.—In all prob- s a second extraordinary Session of the Legislature will be ¢alled by Governor Pardee to consider the qués- | tion of consolidation for which Los ‘An- | geles is battling.

Everything télat: ng to these projects can be prepared in advance; the feeling of the mém- |bers of the Legislature can be deter- {miped as they are here togéthér; thé prdposed constitutional measure - odn be draffed and immédiately aipon :the | reading of the calk the Legisluture can go on with its work. It will take a few hours to put this throtilh. However, 1 have not as yet been re- quested by the Los Angeles delegation to make this call.

BACRAMBNTO, Judé 4—The thirty luwyers comprising 'the judiciary “com- mittee of the- AsSSembly dre in a quan- dary ovéer tha dispodal 6f the proposed “burned records act” providing for the disposition of actisns and proceed- ings in which the ¢slirt reporters’ rec- ords of the procesdings of the trials have been lost. Thesdére Roche, as representative of thé law firm’ of Sul- itvan &-Sullivan of Sah Francisco, ap- peared before thé committee today to protest on behait of the firm of which he is a member ‘agdinst the adoption of-amy act that will, as he claims, in- jure at least 500 law. cases in San Francisco alone. The proposed . act [ provides. that whénéver. the réportsfs’ notes of the procesditigs of dny, dction are lost or destroved without fauit to the parties concernéd and no transtript or bill of exceptions br Statéfent of the case contalning such procééding exists and such _action or Procééding is under submission or partlally tried or sub- jéot t6 tevidw by motlon for new ‘trial thé court May set aside the submis- slon- of such action or proceeding and grant a néw &elal of such action. The court is by thé proposed act also smpowaerea to sét aside trials or vacate proceédings wheré If is deemed im- poesible or imprdcticanle to restore sich prodeédings so that the court may lecide an action or review a judg- thént and may grant a new trial if at the timé of the loss 6T destruction a maotion for 4 new trial Bé pending and may reverse a judgment and grant a aew trial. The néw act furthér provides that in srdér to* grant 4 new trial it shall be innecgsary to have any bill of excep- iibhs or Statemént of the case that has been settled or ahy transcript on ap- seal priftéd, but upon the facts of de- itruction being saftisfactorily shown to the court by affidavit or otherwise the *burt shall have power in its discre- “jon to grant & new trial or to reverse sr affirm thé judgment. Roche claims that this bill will in- juriously affect the status of 500 trials in San Francisco alone, among them such important cases as the Monnier case, the Davis will contest and the Joseph P. Hales estdte decisions, all of which HBdve been adjudicated. He claims that to absplutely ignore the judgments formerly’ given in these and ifke cases. will work absolute hardship on the succeésstul litigants. In.the Monnier case, in which George Monnier &uéd his mother for a por- tion of his father's estate, Sullivan & Sullivan representinig the contestant, secured a4 favorable judgment from Judge QGraham. Under the new act this judgment could be set aside and a trial on appeal granted, placing the contestant in. an. unfavorable position owing to the destruction of his evi- dence. 5 In this case Sullivan & Sullivan would be seriously affected in again attempting the defense of a case that has béeh won. Again by the act Sul- livan' & Sullivan would be gainers in the Joseph P. Hales estate, litigation over which ran for many years in the Ban Francisco courts and resulted in a décision adverge to the parties repre- séntea by the law firm. In this case yihder the proposed act the adverse judgment could bé sét aside and a retrial of the case be made. Theée judiclary committee devoted most of its morning Aession to a con- in this new light by Roché, but reached no decision. Tt is the -opinion of the majority of the members that the act should stand with™ the important amendment of making it obligatory on the Judge to set aside trials and grant rétrails where the court records are de- stroyed. This would make the act more ironclad, but it appeared to meet vith the favor of thé greater part of the ¢ommittee, despite the objections of Roche. The mattéer was set for hearing at the afterfoon meéting of the judiciary committee, but action was postponed owing to the consideration of the pro- posed cornstitutional amendments.

SACRAMENTO, June 4.—After a de- liberation that lasted late jgato the evening thé, judidldry committee of the Assembly @éclded to report three pro- posed constitutiofial amendments fa- vorably to the Absembly. These thrée amendments include two proposed originally by A. Ruef to the joint com- mittee on judiclary of the committee of forty of 8an Francisco.

They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. There are two classes of remedies: thosz of known qual- ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist- ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo- rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of X the remedies of known quality andexcellenge is the ever & pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of 4 Il plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasaptsyrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con- tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refreshandcleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti- pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi- ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience thatit is a most excellent laxative remedy. We donot claim that it will cure all manner of ills,but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it s3id that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional egrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine— Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, | one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printedon the ] f front of every package.

BUILDING, ‘WASHINGTON, June;4.—Charles T. El- liott of Stanislaus probably will be ap- pointed United States Marshal at San Frantisco. Senator Flint has strongly recommended the appointment of EI- liott to President Roosevelt. Senator Perkins, however, has urged State Senator Coggins for the place, but the selection of Elliott is confidently eg- pected. The bill providing for the erection of a monument at Monterey in memory of Comimodore Sloat probably will not become & law at this session of Con- gres. Several bills making appropria- tions for monuments of similar char- acter.pas$éd the House today, but the Sloat monument bill, which 1s under- stood not to meet the approbation of Speaker Cannon, was not included among them. The California “5 per cent bill"*giv- ing the State 5 per cent of the sales of its public lands, also failed of con- sideratfon by the House today. The Speaker has decided that no more bills shall be passed under suspension of | the rules during this session and it is therefore certain that the 5 per cent bill will-noét now be taken up. The California delegation is much disap- pointed by the failure of this bill. It is said that the Speaker’'s lack of interest in this bill, as well as in the Sloat monument measure, is due to the attitude of the California delega- tion on the statehood bill. bers of the delegation have taken a stand on this question in direct oppo- sition to the Speaker's views and Can- non, it i8 understood, pleasure accordingly. An effort will be made by Represen- tative Hayes and other California membetrs to get the Brovisions of the Hayes bill increasing the limit of cost | of the Angel Island immigrant station to $266,000 attached to the sundry civil appropriation bill. which will come up tomorrow. - Otherwise there is little likelihood of action on the proposition this session.
