The sage of Sacramento hed the bill rereferred to his judiclary committee and another resojution for a committee on conference, sans joint rules, may be expected before the end of next weelk. The Assembly committee on ways and means has discovered that the general appropriation bill will carry a total of approximately $8,000,000, an increase of about 17 or 18 per cent over the amount appropraited by the last Legislature. The increase, Chairman Bstudillo ex- | plaing, is brought about by provisions for raising the salaries of employes of the State institutions for the insane, salaries of members of the District Courts of Appeal end other additional expenses forced upon the State by new legislation, over which this Legisla- | ture has had no control JUTE REVOLVING FUND 1 Estudillo’s committee decided yes- | terday upon a favorable report on Bel- | shaw’s bill for an additional $100,000 for the jute revolving fund for the bag factory at San Quentin. The meas- | ure has been subjected to some mis- i i | | sult in saving the/ State considerable by enabling larger purchases of raw material on a low market, and, inasmuch as it is a revolving fund, it cannot very well be dissipated. In the matter of appropriations Gov- ernor Gillett has come to the front again as an economist. He is opposed | to further appropriatipns for ex-| penditures on capitol improvements | » | pending the completion of the work | now contracted for by the commission. | In opposition to & bill appropriating | 5000 for new floors, the Governor gests that upon the completion of | > |the work in progress there will be | ample time in which to consider any | further expenditures. - BELL WANTS CHANGE | T0 DENDUNCE PARKER § Pasadenan Will Arise to| Question of Personal Privilege CALL HEADQUARTERS, 1007 EIGHTH STREET. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 16.—Bell Pasadena anuounced today that he in-| tended to arise to a question of per-| sonal privilege in the Senate on Mon- | day and throw the harpoon into Wal!er“ Parker, grand vizier of the Herrin aithful in Los Angeles.

He was offered patronage, but refused to accept it. Parker and| he since Ten days ago the Los Angeles dele- | gation sent out invitations to a dinner by putting more names on the rroll of Los Angeles County. Bell got | one of these invitations and in his let- | ter refusing to accept it took a courtly 11 out of Parker. Parker has retaliated by having a fect that Bell sent an emissary to him | a few days ago with overtures to be ! taken into the Republican caucus of | the Senate. Bell, according to this story, offered through the emissary to | sideration of the privilegé of being in- itiated into the arcanum of the ma- Jority. When Bell learned of this story he went looking for Parker and high words passed between them. Parker finally invited Bell to his hotel to talk things over, but the belligerent solon from Pasadena refused to avail himself of the offer, declaring that there was quite enough room on the sidewalk to settle everything at issue. They finally separated and Bell has since reported the conclusion to denounce both Parker and the story printed in Los Angeles from the floor of the Senate. What the Senators who hear Parker whistle will do about it has not yet been programmed.

The measurd is a companion to the bill already intro- duced calling for an investigation the management of the relief fund. Mary Kelly and Alva Udell, refugee organizers, have been lobbying for both measures and are insistent in denying that they are intended to help Abe Ruef slap back at e of the men respon- sible for the investigation which led pa, to his indict it by e Grand 8 : as a grafter. Udell says he has drafted the measures himself. All the Ruef boys in the House are supporting the megsures, but Assem- blymen who do not come from San Francisco are inclined to regard them with suspicion. Both bills may yet stir up a Lilliputian fuss in the House. In'the Senate things are a little dif- ferent. When asked today if he in- tended to introduce the bill calling for the creation of a rellef commission, Keane of San Francisco said he was not sure that he would. “I'll have to look into this matter,” he said. “The -bill may be all right, but I'm not prepared to say that I'm in favor of it just now.” Udell has been relying on Keans to look after both measures in the Senate.
