The pley to enable George C.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.—Governor Gillett has consented to modify his project calling for the creation of an engineering department and the aboli- tion of the commissions that now su- perintend river improvements. Leavitt of Alameda, who introduced the bill providing for the creation of the engineering department, submitted 1 amendment in the Senate today which® provides for the retention in | office of the auditing board of the Commission of Public Works. River land owners have succeeded in induc- ing the Governor to retain this unpaid board, arguing that its abolition would retard the work it has been advancing, The Governor may change the person- nel of the board, but intends to have all of its members residents of Sacra- mento and San Joaquin counties. The name of the body will also be changed to the consulting board. It will be made to consist of five members, who will have charge of all matters relat- | ing to irrigation, drainage and river improvements. | MARY KELLEY A LOBBYIST | Asks Legislature to Investigate the Relief Corporation SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.—Mary Kel- ley, whose refugee cottage was broken 1p after she moved with it to I de on a truck, has turned lobbyist. is here with Alva Udell, chief agi- tator of the United Refugees, and is helping him in his effort to have the Relief Corporation made the subject of | a legislative investigation | Assemblyman Kelly of San | 1s among the lawmakers who have been persuaded by Mary's eloquence. Kelly has introduced 2 bill in the House call. ing on Governor Gillett to appoint a commission of five to investigate the Relief Corporation. The resolution re- cites that a petition calling for this| investigation has been presented to the | Governor, and goes on to declare that it is commonly reported and believed that $6,000,000 of the donations en- trusted to the committee has gone astray and is unaccounted for. “rancisco OPPOSE EIGHT-HOUR BILL Sacramento Carmen Say It Will Reduce | Their Daily Wage SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.—The bill in- | troduced by Leavitt of Alameda in the limiting the employment of street car employes to eight hours a day is likely to result in an energetic scrap when 1t comes up on the floor for | .nal passage | The carmen of Sacramento have a | |10bby opposing the bill, arguing that it | will reduce their daily earnings.

McEnerney and introduced {by Assemblyman Devlin of Vallejo. It |provides that insurance companies | which refuse payment on ghe ground that loss was caused by an excepted | peril, such as an earthquake, must, in answer to a suit at law, .specify the] peril which' was the proximate cause | of the loss.

Pl S A T | BOLOGNA, Feb. 16.—Giosue Carducel, | |the Italian poet and ecritic, who had| been i1l hers for some dags with in-| flueza and pneumonia, died this after- | noon. | | garding the affai at her home. like a knife into the heart of the moth- er of Superior Judge Thomas Denny, the young lawyer who has just taken his seat on the bench by appointment of the Governor to succeed Judge A. G. Burnett, who was elected an Appellate Justice. “My son is an honorable man, and no" uld have prompted Mrs. Weston to speak of him so,” said Mrs. William Haskell, Denny’s mother, to- night. No member of either family seems |able to explain the meaning of Mrs. Weston's last words, but it is certain that Mrs. Weston had suddenly to the conclusion that her love for Denny was unrequited. The conditions which led up to her conclusion were formed recently, when Denny's rivals for the position on the Superior bench went to Sacramento and tried to secure the place. DENNY A POPULAR MAN Young Denny has for several years been assisting his stepfather, William B. Haskell of this city, in his law prac- tice, but his chief prominence was in social circles. A graduate of the Uni- versity of California and reared among families well known on this part of the coast, he was in great demand at social functions, and frequently visited San Francisco, Berkeley and Sacra- mento. For more than four years he visited Mrs. Weston, usually calling upon her on Sunday evenings, and din- ing with the Hall family. Several weeks ago when the chance came for some one to fill Burnett's place on the bench, ex-District Attor- H. Pond, ex-Assistant District : Rolfe Thompson, ex-Superiof . K. Doherty and ex-Congress- am, all considered in admin- istration v went to Sacramento and presented their claims to the Governor. They were astonished when they learn- ed that A. W. Foster, former presi- dent of the California Nogthwestern Railroad, had already asked for the appointment of young Denny. Hith- erto the young man had not even been considered a possible candidate, but when the hand of Foster was shown they returned home without parley. It was at this point that melancholia seemed to blight the mind of Mrs. Weston. She felt that Denny's appoint- ment and his removal to Santa Rosa meant separation and the end of her ro- mance. Rumors came to her of his en- gagement to another, although Denny has written since her death to her brother-in-law, Dr. A. L. Tibbitts, that there was po truth in these reports. She did nof, however, outwardly show the condition of her mind relative to the rumors. “Fifteen minutes before my daughter killed herself,” said W. P. Hall today, “I was leaving home to visit my other daughter, Mrs. Tibbitts, a few blocks away.” “‘Is there anything I can do for you, father, dear? she called to me from another room. “Not until my return, when I saw her lying lifeless in her room, did the tone of her voice as she spoke to me suggest anything to my mind. And then I remembered that her voice had broken as she called to me for ‘the last time. Always before she had been loving and cheerful, and what she meant by her reference to Tom Denny I cannot say. For four years he had been her friend, calling here frequently, but I did not discuss with my daughter the question of her engagement to him. He has written to Dr. Tibbitts, setting at rest forever the stori in circulation re- GUEST OF THE FOSTERS Denny is popular throughout the county. He has frequently been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Foster of San Ra- fael, whose sons and daughtershave wel- comed him to all their social functions, a feature of which during their father's presidency of the California Northwest- ern was a series of gay excursions in his private car through the beautiful hills and valleys of Sonoma and Marin counties. Denny was a college mate | of the Foster boys at Berkeley and was as attentive to the Misses Foster as he was to many other popular girls in San Rafael and 6ther bay towns. Mrs, Weston's secret hinted at in her last outery before the bullet ended her misery is buried with her. The note left to her parents has been burned and the only explanation attempted was given by Mrs. Haskell tonight when she said she feared that melancholia had unbalanced Mrs. Weston's mind. She declared her son was not engaged to Mrs. Weston not to any one. toalgriats S e Ty PROVIDES FOR OUTING Ludington Introduces Bill for Investi- gation of Fish and Game SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.—Assembly- man W. F. Ludington of San Diego reached the height of the ridiculous today. He proposed an after-session junket authorized to keep going until the next meeting of the Legislature. Ludington is a member of the fish and game committee. Last week he visited the State hatcheries at Sissons. So delighted was he that today he in- troduced a bill providing for a com- missfon to investigate fish and game centers between sessions. Tt is to con- sist of the Governor, one member each of the Senate and Assembly and two “citizens at large.” The compensation mentioned is $10 a day and expenses while employed. tain Pens.

These words have cut| come | N tion toward peace, the untiring en- deavors of nations not invelved in conflict to prevent war between other countries between which controversies arose. He spoke of the growth of ar- bitration as a means of settling dis- putes, and the intolerable burden of maintaining armies and navies. He said that in the United States in re- cent years the expenditure of the mili- tary and naval establishments had grown to be five times as great as in 1887, only twenty vears ago. Burton deprecated the war talk in regard to the Japanese and contrasted the size of the navies of the two coun- tries, showing that with ships un- der construction the United States navy would be nearly two-thirds larger than that of the Japanese and was at pres- ent a half larger. Crumpacker of Indiana favored the big ships for the protection of the Philippines. “T believe,” he said, “the " Philippines are the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of this repub- lic,” and he contended that they im- posed a responsibility which we should be prepared to meet in the right way. Hayes ‘of California presented an amendment providing that any bid for | the construction of any of the vessels authorized in the bill on the Pacific) Coast should have a differential of per cent in its favor, which should be | \ }cnnsmered by the Secretary of the Navy in awarding contracts - for the construction of the vessels.
