Bates, SCORES RAILROAD BOARD Senator Caminetti Demands That Cor- poration “Hogs” be Curbed SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.—Caminetti of Amador impeached the railroad commission for its policy of inaction during the course of a long debate in | the Senate today on the resolutions in- | troduced by him last week calling for | an investigation and report by the Ju- diciary committee on legislation that | would prohibit rebating. The 'State constitution had provisions against re- | bating and diserimination, he declared, | but they were not self-enacting and should be made applicable by legis- lative acts. He said there was a West- ern Pacific hog, a Santa Fe hog and a Southern Pacific hog, just as there | were fish and game hogs, which the | Legislature was seeking to curb and re- strict. He quoted from a message of Governor Pardee and from a report of | Commissioner of Corporations Garfield |on railway abuses in California, and said there were eighty different devia- tions on the rates for oil. The inde- pendent shippers throughout the State were calling for redress, he added, and to deny them assistance was an abuse of legislative trust. s Leavitt of Alameda sald Caminetti's address was all politics, and that it | would be just as ridiculous to expect | the Legislature to allow resolutions to pass that criticised a railroad commis- |sion In office two months as it would be to criticise the past actions of the commission it succeeded. Wolfe of San Francisco took excep- tion to Caminett! for holding up the message of Pardee as sacred writ. “If Governor Pardee had received the renomination he strove so ardu- | ously for at Santa Cruz” said Wolfe, “the ‘gentleman from Amader would not have the opportunity of making such quotations from his message.” The resolutions were voted down overwhelmingly. PLANS NEW SW SALARY GRAB Raise Pay of Solons SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.—The com- mittee on col tutional amendments, through the kindly aid of Drew of | Fresno, one of its most strenuous mem- | bers, evolved an elegant and ex- pensive substitute for the various pro- posed amendments dealing with the pay of legislators and the limitation of attaches. This substitute would in- in action for the|. | Drew of Fresmo Evolves Measure to ! crease the pay of members to $12.50 a | day, enable them to draw their diem for seventy days, authorize a ten days' adjourn t at the end of thirty nt| ts of arms of tion permit each W expend $400 a day for n ‘the whole substif the omy_iles ia’ he” has assumed such gigantic proportions that it has become necessary to bring to bear the ald of a corps of clerks and stenographers and an number of subcommittees. There is not a sectlon of San Francisco that has not responded to the call for volun- teers and the army of willing workers has Jjumped over the ten ‘thousand mark and is well on the to the half-hundred thousand mark. . Men who have knoWledge of great engineering work were at the con- tractors’ conference ‘and about forty hig concerns were represented. It is the intention to have th men ‘act in an advisory capacity. in the idistricts assigned them, as without leaders no big results can be accomplished. But it must be rememhered that the gleaning- up day scheme is a thoroughly demo- cratic idea and that division superin- tendents are selected merely to keep the wagons going, the- fools distrib- uted and to answer the question. “Where shall T g0 to do my share of the cleaning?”’ = » COMMITTEES NAMED Two committees were formed at the meeting and they afterward organized as a committee of the whole on mar- shaling anddirecting forces. The follow- ing were appointed: William J. Healy, Harry Gray, A. E. Buckman, George W. Elder and C. A. Warren. On teaming, accumulation of debris and directing disposal of same, are J. W. Flinn, Jerry O'Shea, D. J. O'Neill, Hugh Crummy and F. B. Floyd. F. B. Floyd was chosen secretary of the committes and will look after all communications. William J. Healy will be chairman and handle all busi- ness appertaining to work in the dis- tricts. Assignments were made as follows for the purpose of going over the routes proposed and reporting hack to a general committee on Saturday the number of men, teams and tools nec- essary for the cleaning up of said routes on the day proposed: A. E. Buckman—Sansome and Battery streets, from Market street to the water front. J. W. Flinn—Davis, Front and Drumm streets, from Market to the water front. City Street Improvement Company—Fifth street from Market to the end of Sixth street from Market to Howard. Benjamin Cram—Third and Fourth streets, from Market (o ends. . Clement Company—Polk arket to Sutter. A. B. Clute—Folsom street, from Second as far out as necessary. Brothers—Bryant street, street, from Third west. Charles A, Warren—Mission street, from Sec- ond to Tenth, and Howard street, from Fifth as far out as necessary. Ransome Construction Company—Eighth street from Market to Kansas. D. J. ‘O'Neill—Commencing at Second and Market streets, down Second to Folsom, down Folsom Beale, Beale to Market street. Renner—C« . to Bryant, to Spear, to F to Bast. B. yd—All of Bay increased | W. Elder-ZAll of Kearnj and Mont- gogefy"imeusm’mrkez to Washington. Jerry O'Shea—Potrero avenue. The desire was expressed that the gentlemen to whom these routes were assigned go over the ground and report what they might deem advisable in the way of teams, men and tools. These routes will be placed in their charge, gnd all volunteer corps will be turned over to them during. the day. From time to time other appointments will be made giving charge of other routes. MONEY FOR REFRESHMENTS The Laurel Hill Club has made a do- nation of money to Mrs. A. C. Free- man’s section of the refreshment com- mittee. The Jewlish Council of Women has applied for a section under the auspices of the refreshment committee, and will be assigned an important post. The womeén of the Order of the East- ern Star are preparing plans for effect- ive work and will announce them at a near date, The Potgero organizations have de- termined take an active part in cleaning up -that district, and will re- port progress to the Repair Associa- tion in 2 day or so. Hundreds of applications for assign- ments have been received and letters from wholesale houses show that near- ly every part of the business distriot will be cared for by firms. Among the notable applications for a detail with rake or shovel was that of Rabbi Levy, who is willing to take off his coat, roll up his sleeves and do a day’s work in behalf of a clean city. The ladies’ committees are very busy. Mrs. Lovell White has had message: from all manner of women's organiza- tions and from Individual women an- nouncing that this or that section of the designated stations would receive plenty of help from the women folk. Restaurant men generally have given promise of use of kitchens, and the great difficulty now to be overcome is that of furnishing enough provisions for the great army of workers. DONATIONS SOLICITED The ladies’ committees urge that do- nations be sent to Mrs. Palache at 900 Eddy street at the very earliest pos- sible moment, of\ that donors write of intentions to furnish stations with sandwiches or coffee. In this event state just what station provisions will be sent to.. If provisions are do- nated in sufficient quantity to require transportation to ‘the committees it would be well to notify Mrs. Palache that she may ke arrangements for wagons or automobiles to call for them. A detail of boys of the First Corps of Cadets reported at the Repair Associa- tion office, Fifth and Market, yesterday morning, and thelr services proved very valuable. There was an immense amount, of detail work to look after, and the lads helped.

H. Styner of the Mexican Cen- tral was erroneous and that he would probably recover if no complications set in. It is said that Styner stabbed himself six times while under the influence of liquor. MONTMORENCY, Ind., Feb. 21.—C. J. Styner, postmaster, received a mes- sage today from Mexico City. signed by, the roommate of his son, Eimer H.
