SAN FRANCISCO, March 2lst-
The memb bers of the Alamed Coun-
ty Central Committee of the Work.
ingmen's Party met yesterday TO
prepare letter to Lieuteuant-G Gov
ernor Johnson, stating that Bones
had reported that he had been Of
fered money on two different occa-
siOns to vote on certain bills before
| thn Snnafn aud npIyi
tenant Governor to lay the matter
before the Senate for Investigation.
A letter was also addressed to Bores
demanding that he give
the names Of parties offering him
brihes, and suggesting that, in not
exposing them, he would be guilty
of compounding felony. AS u re-
suit of the resolutions passed at the
mass meeting Tuesday night, the
County Central and Executive
Committees demanded the imme-
diate resignation of Bones. Kear-
ney says that, If Bones don't re-
sign he ought to he hung forthwith.
Legislative,
SACRAMENTO, March 9l.-The
Senate Committee on Corporations
met at 10 A. NJ. Transportation
Commissioner Doyle appeared be-
fore the Committee and explained
at length some of the defects in the
Hart bill. Section s is defective, as
the information asked for in it will
be given Oh a basis used in each
office aud will not be uniform.
Section 3 of Assembly bill
225, subdivision 9, which em-
powers the Com missioner
to examine railroad officials under
oath and to call for the production
of books and papers, is defective for
no means are provided to compel
the attendance of witnesses. In
addition, ;the only false-swesring
known to the penal code is the
promissofy oath used In the Courts.
He thought there was another ma
terial omission which might affect
the validity of the bill. Tuttle had
moved in the House an amend
ment to Section 10,ending with the
words, "the Governor shall cause tn
have printed $500 copies of reports
for public distribution" )" These woids
are not contained in the bill before
the Committee. 1t Is necessary to
have these reports printed, for if
they are hid away In the Office in
Sacramento, they will be of very
little public use In other States.
These reports are published yearly.
He thought substitute bill should
of the Commissioners bill which
provides for an annual report in.
stead of one in every two
years. All business transactions
materially conclude with each year.
Section Z is open to objection
as 1t fixes the rates charged by
railroad companies on the first Of
January as the rates to be recog.
nized by the Commissioner and
not the rates which they were le-
gally entitled to. The people of
Stockton, who have been promised
o reduction in rates, may be told
that the Legislature has tied the
hands Of the Railroad and pre-
vented n reduction. Governor
Stanford said he promised the peo.
pie Of Stockton reduction of rates
and they were satisfied to
rely on his word. Commits
sioner Doyle said the Hart
bill left the question of freights
and fares practically untouched.
Although the wheat crop would be
abundant this year, the market
would be poor one, for the Rus
sian wheat crop Of two seasons
would be thrown upon it, and lie
urged such legislation rs would en-
able the crop to be got to the ter
minal point at reasonable rate.

Of the Workingmen's Society, stat
