SENATE.

WASHINGTON, February 9.-The cred en-
tials of Senator Ransom for his new sen
atorial term were presented, read and
placed on file.
The senate bill to establish United
States court in the Indian Territory was,
on motion of Senator Vest, taken up in
conjunction with the house bill to change
the eastern and northern judicial districts
of Texas, and Senator Vest proceeded to
state the purposes of the bills, which are
in some aspects identical. He moved, as
a report from the judiciary committee
to substitute the senate bill for the house
bill.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, offered an
other substitute for the bill and proceeded
to explain the differences in the various
propositions. The substitute reported
from the judiciary committee would not,
he said, help the present condition of
shings in the Indian territory, where there
was practically denial of Justice, the jail
at Fort Smith, where criminals were
brought from fine Indian territory, being
always full and the court there having to
81 sit during the entire year. The judiciary
committee substitute simply transferred
the court from Fort Smith to Muskogee.
That would produce no lessening of work,
but on the contrary the number of cases
to be tried at Muskogee would be larger.
His own proposition was to establish an
Indian territory court with limited juris-
dictiOn, not with full jurisdiction.

A Railroad POw-Wow.

An important railroad conference,
lasting over four hours, was held in the
Office of General Manager Dan McCool
yesterday afternoon. In addition to MIR.
McCool there we're present General
Freight and Passenger Agent Il. B;
wilkins, of the Santa Fe; General
Freight and Passenger Agent w. A;
Bissell, of the Atlantic and Pacific. and
Superintendent A. A. Gaddis, OF the
same company. Assistant Freight and
Passenger Agent @. F. Smurr,
of the Southern Pacific, WAS on
hand later, and was closeted with
Mr.. wilkins for some time. Wha,
transpired is not officially known, but II
is understood that the conference was
with view of strictly enforcing the rates
on local as we'll as transcontinenta
freights. The announcement of the
arbitraries by the Santa Fe will, it is e4
pected, be met with considerable dis
sent, but if the Southern Pacific cooper
ates in the matter the shippers vii
have no option but to assent. The rail
road people claim that they are bount
to enforce these extra rates or otherwise
the roads will be operated at loss in
stead of at a profit.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Revised Constitution Adopted a
Yesterdays Meeting.


Yesterdays Meeting.
A special meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce was held yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of acting upon a revised
constitution which had been prepared by
a committee appointed at the last annual
meeting. Since this organization came
into existence considerable difficulty has
been experienced in transacting busi-
ness, and it was believed that this was
due to the awkwardness OF the machinery
under which it was running. Material
alterations were made in the constitution
with view to the obviating of these diff
fculties. About twenty five members
we're present, including the officers of
the Chamber and the Chairmen OF most
of the standing committees. Colonel ID.
@, Otis, the Chairman of the Committee
on Revision, read the new constitution
and il was discussed section by section.
The limitation of membership to Los
Angeles county was struck out and any
reputable person" may now become
member of the Chamber. The matter
of the membership of films received con-
siderable discussion and it was finally
settled that they should be entitled to
one vote by an accredited representation.
The election of officers is to be by ballot,
but not at meeting held for that pur-
pose as was the former arrangement.
Notice of the election will be sent to all
members of the Chamber and the ballots
taken at the office of the Secretary dur
ing the day appointed. The votes will
be canvassed by the Board of Directors
as an election board. The officers hold
the positions for one year. Members
who are in arrears for three months for
dues are not allowed to vote or to hold
Office.
Three new standing committees are
added on Health, Sanitary matters and
public improvements. The Chairmen
of these committees are to be nominated
by the President and elected by the
Chamber. The committees are to con-
sist of five instead of three. The officers
and chairmen of the various committees
elect board of seven directors, of which
four will constitute quorum. The
regular meetings of the Chamber are to
be monthly hereafter instead Of semi
monthly, and will occur on the second
Wednesday of each month. Twenty
members will constitute a quorum, but
to act upon any important matter involv-
ing the expenditure of money a vote ol
two-thirds of those present will be neces-
sary.
After voting upon the constitution thus
amended, the Chamber adjourned until
the next regular meeting.

The Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors visited the
County Poor Farm in a body yesterday
morning, and on their return reported
everything in good order. At the meet
ing held in the afternoon it was decided
to advertise until the 22d instant fol-
bids for printing the delinquent county
tax list.
The following amounts were ordered
transferred temporarily to the funds
named: 500 to the Cahuenga, $500 to
the Compton, $3.50 to the San Antonio,
$3.50 to the Laurel, and $1,00 to the
Rosedale.
1t was decided to ask the District At.
torney for an opinion as to whether
bridges can be paid for out of the Cur
rent Expense Fund.
School Superintendent Seamans ap.
peared and asked that he be provided
with safe in which to keep some books
the loss OF which would be irreparable Il
destroyed. The Chairman was instructed
to select safe suitable to be moved tc

HEALTH MATTERS.
No Agreement Reached as to III
Health officer.

H6atn O1hlCeEs
The Board of Health met yesterday
afternoon, Mayor Bryson in the Chair,
and Messrs. Kuhrts, Bryant and Shafei
present, Mr.. Humphreys absent.
A petition requesting that the dumping
of garbage near the river and Mission
streets was read and referred to the
Health Officer, who was requested to see
that the garbage is properly cared for.
The matter of defining the limits,
wherein no more than two COWS can be
kept, referred back from the Council,
was brought up for discussion and finally
referred to DR.. Bryant and Mr.. Shafer to
present map, defining the lines, at the
meeting to be held next Friday.
The selection Of Health Officer was
next brought up for discussion.
DIR. Bryant said that he desired to
place the name of L. s. Thompson in
nomination. He named him because
the Council at its meeting had given
him more votes than DR.. Reese, who he
held was not citizen.
Mr.. Kuhrts thoughtthe matter should be
deferred for week as there could be no
agreement and no majority tor either
one of the candidates. If the matter was
deferred Mr.. Humphreys would probably
be present and then if neither l.. S.
Thompson nor DR.. Reese could be agreed
upon another man could be chosen.
DIR. Bryant did not agree to this propo-
sition and thought that if the Board could
not agree on L. s. Thompson the matter
should be referred to the Council.
Mayor Bryson objected to this as he
had a voice in the selection and if the
Council was allowed to make it his vote
would be taken away.
DR.. Bryant said he opposed DR.. Reese
because while he had been in office MIR.
B. Cohr had furnished supplies for the
Pesthouse.
Mayor Bryson wanted to know
if in case DR.. Bryant's favorite were
selected he would not furnish the drugs
from his own drug store.
DIR. Bryant said that L. S. Thompson
did not own drug store.
Mayor Bryson said that he had seen
him in a drug store and had asked him
about it, and he had said he was con-
nected with it.
DR.. Bryant said it was a small matter
anyhow. He moved that the matter be
referred to the Council without recon-
mendation. This motion was lost.
Mr.. Kuhrts moved that the matter be
deferred a week. Lost by vote of to 2.
Mr.. Kuhrts said that there was no use
in sending the matter to the Council, as
it would refer it back again.
Mr.. Shaier finally moved to postpone
action for a week. Carried and the
Board adjourned.
