willfully, corruptly and maliciously
using his power as judge, to imprison
the complainants, Carpenter and Vance,
without warrant of law. After the
charges had been read, it was suggested
that under an act that had been passed,
but not signed by the governor, appeal
from decisions in contempt cases would
be allowed, and that the act would
probably be signed within few days.
in which case the complainants
would have good remedy other than
by impeachment. An attorney repre-
senting Judge Catlin stated that that
gentleman courted the fullest investiga-
tion, and did not want unnecessary
delay or the interposition Of any tech
nicality. -
An answer to the complaint of Car
penter Ind Vance was presented to the
committee, in which, while acknowledge
ing that he had taken contempt pro-
ceedings, he maintained that he was
entirely innocent OF the charge affecting
his integrity. After some discussion,
the committee went into executive ses-
sion, and when the doors were opened
a resolution was adopted recommending
that the assembly take no action in the
premises, as the charges did not war
rant any investigation Carpenter and
Vance, who were present in charge of
the sheriff, were then taken back to

The Senatorial Contest at
Sacramento.
The Scene Is Shifted TO San
Francisco.
A Hegira to the Metropolis In Quest
of the Sack.
Nobody Seems to Know Where the Boo
die Is Located-Carpenter Will
Nominate Major Bonebake.
'Associsted Press Dispatches.

SACRAMENTO, March 7.-The scene OF
the senatorial contest has shifted to-
night from Sacramento to San Fran
cisco. Every prominent lawmaker, who
got away in time to catch the afternoon
train, went to the metropolis to try and
obtain some light on the intensely dark
situation here. Never, in the history OF
senatorial election, has the situation
been so peculiar as now. Not only are
no candidates here, two days before the
election, but there is absolutely no talk
of the impending battle in the public
haunts of the politicians. Everybody is
chasing news, but news is not to be had
in the usual way.
The situation tonight is only slightly
changed from yesterday. No programme
for the election on Tuesday has yet
been outlined here. 1t is expected,
however, that Senator Carpenter, OF
Los Angeles, will place Major Bone
brake, in Los Angeles, in nomination.
Senator Voorhees,, of Amador, will prob
ably nominate George Blanchard, OF El-
dorado, who, like Bonebrake, is not
considered as in the fight to stay but
merely to hold certain votes. With De
Young, FELTON, and Estee also running,
there will be five candidates at
least, and possibly eight. as several
other men may be put in to divide the
vote. Practically, however, the vote
will be divided by three, and after the
fisa ballot. there will be lively skirmish-
ing tecombine on the winner.
1t LOOKS now as if the ballot on Tues
day will BE- absolutely necessary to show
anything definite about the situation.
The legislators have made up their
minds not TO % into caucus.

HEACOCK'S BOOMERANG.
AN EXCITING INCIDENT IN THE
STATE SENATE.
The Santa Barbara Statesman Started In
to Kill the Riverside County Bill, But
His Venom Passed It.

SACRAMENTO, March 7.--[Special. i
The Riverside county bill passed the
senate with only eleven votes against it
Senator Heacock, of Santa Barbara, Bit
terly opposed the bill, using, as he &C.
knowledged, a speech which had this
morning been handed him by Judge
Rowell, OF San Bernardino, and reading
an article in last Tuesdays San Fran
cisco Post, intimnting that Doodle was
being used to pass snid bill. y But his at,
tempt proved a boomerang which caused
mariy so,.st>~s, TO vote for the bill who
before were undecided; and his per
sonal attack on Mr.. Streeter. the Joint
senator from San Bernardino and San
Diego counties, caused the latter to rise
and Indignantly deny the truth of Hea-
cocks insihuations.
Heacock continued. and making fur
ther insinuating attacks on Senator
Streeter, the latter again rose and denied
Heacock's statements in tho most posi-
tive way, supplementing the same by
saying that, although he had intended
to vote against the Riverside bill because
he had pledged himself to vote against
the Pomona bill, and not for any other
reason, he considering the Riverside bill
afair and just measure, anxiously wished
for by majority OF said proposed
county, yet now, since Senator Heacock
had made personal fight on him at
the request of Judge Rowell and
others OF the town of San Berrar-
dino, he would now vote in favor of the
bill.
This had the effect OF bringing Mr..
Streeter's personal friends in the senate
to his assistance, and many rose and
stated that they would vote for the Riv-
erside bill because Senator Streeter con-
sidered it good measure.
The enemies OF the measure have
themselves to thank for the successful
passage of the bill by their action today.
The bill as passed, amended, included
all of the territory of the San Jacinto
county bill, whereas the latter had not
the required population of 5000, accord
ing to the last census returns, counting
Indians, Chinese and others, nor one
dollar of assessed valuation, whereas
Riverside county has about $4,000 in
habitants and millions of assessed prop
erty.
