SCHOOL BOOKS IN DANGER.
Efforts Made to Cripple the State
Textbook System.
Proposition to Cut Out or Reduce the
Appropriation-What the Facts
and the Law Require.

The Conference Committee of the Leg
islature on the general appropriation bill
meets to-day. The friends of the State
school-book system are alarmed, for fear
that the committee may strike out the
$40, 900 in the bill-or reduce it to $40, 900
for manufacturing the additional three
books Of the series, up to $4,000 copies Of
each.
The law of 1857, creating the State
school-book fund, intended that fund to be
used only after the first 1000 copies are
manufactured. The $4,000 referred to is
ABSOLUTELY NEEDED,
Therefore, to enable the first sc, 900 copies
of each of the three books now in hand to
be manufactured, also the $1,000 for COM
pilation as inserted by the Senate. 1t ought
to be sufficient to satisfy the committee
that a prominent worker to cripple the
system is urging the committee to strike
out the sums.
1t is certain that if the amounts are
stricken out or reduced to insutfi-
cheney, the State system will be
seriously impaired. 1t is said that
the revolving fund is sufficient,
but every one knows it cannot be used to
make new books until the first $4,000
copies are out. The State established the
system with the clear understanding that
it would require appropriations to make
the books up to a certain standard. The
series once completed, then every book
sold will produce another book to take it's
place.
AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.
The enemies of the system are active,
and of course not for the good of the
State. The committee should examine
expert Dunns report, and it will see
that the facts concerning the fund are
are here correctly set forth.
The statements in a San Francisco
paper of yesterday concerning the State
school-book fund were wholly mislead-
ing and not warranted by the records of
the State. In fact it is false in its state
ment as to the cost of the material used
for the school books, and notably so re-
garding 1.-The plant. 1t would seem that
there is no one fully informed to stand
before the committee for the State and lay
the actual facts before it. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the new Superintendent of
Instruction is so recently in office that he
does not, apparently, comprehend the
real situation and thinks $20, 900 will be
sufficient. But the experts report and
the plain words of the law show that the
| full sums asked for are needed.

THE SPRING RACES.
The Turf Club Reorganizes and Goes

to Wolk.
The old Capital City Turf Club was re-
organized last night at the Golden Eagle
Hotel.
j. w. Wilson was reelected President,
F. A. Jones, Treasurer, and G.. II. Todd,
Secretary.
AS has been previously announced in
the RECORD UNION, the object of the re-
vival of this organization was to arrange,
If possible, for spring meeting for this
year, since the State Agricultural Society
has decided not to give one. There was
quite large attendance of prominent
turfmen, and the general opinion eX-
pressed was that the meeting should take
place, and that the citizens and business
men of Sacramento would come forward
and subscribe literally toward it. 1t was
stated that the State Agricultural Society
was ready and willing to turn over to the
club the 1913 which was left over from
last years meeting, and this would be a
nice starter for this years fund.
After some discussion the following
committee was appointed to canvass the
city and ascertain what the subscriptions
would amount to: w. O. Bowers, Frank
Lowell, f. A. Jones and Wilbur Smith.
This committee will report progress to
the club next Wednesday evening, and
if the report shows that a sufficient
amount of money can be raised, the club
will arrange for the races Immediately.
Should it be decided to have meeting, it
is thought that it will take place shortly
after the Blood Horse races in San Fran
cisco-probably early in May

are twenty different families of beetles,
and they differ greatly in size and shape.
They are the most diverse of all insects
All of them are provided with mandi-
bles and jaws. Some families are terres-
trial, and some aquatic, and some live
both on land and water. Just what family
those in Stockton belong to is hard to de-
termine, but they are most probable one
of the genera of the carnivora family, the
varied species of which are very vora-
cious. Some live in water, others on
land, but all the different branches of the
family prefer swamp land, whore the
young are hatched. The male perishes
soon after the union, and the female dies
shortly after the eggs have been de-
posted.
These beetles live on other insects. Some
body has suggested that they be called
'.electric light" beetles.
The rise in the water has most likely
driven the insects out of the lowlands.
The unusual glare OF the electric lights
has attracted their attention and caused
them foclishly to wear themselves out
around the lights.

SUFFERS FORT.
Workmen Engaged Bracing Up the
Old Structure.

Workmen Engaged Brac1ng Up the
Old Structure.
People who happened to be in the vi
cinity of Suffers Fort yesterday were
surprised to see several workmen on the
ground engaged in bracing up various
parts of the historic old structure, and
tinkering about generally.
EX-Mayor Gregory, who is one of the
recently appointed Sutter Fort Trustees,
was seen by a REcoRD-UNIoN reporter
in the afternoon and asked if the work of
restoring the old fort had at last been
commenced.
well, not exactly" replied Mr.. Greg
ory. You see we have not received our
appropriation yet, and until then we can
not commence the work of restoration.
The men you saw out there were simply
sent out there by us to do some prelimin-
ary work. They will remain there sew
eral days and will prop up the root-which
is about to tumble in-and brace up the
south wall. There are several places
where the walls are badly cracked and in
a shaky condition, and we were afraid
that should another heavy storm set in
there would be collapse. By propping
and bracing the building up everything
will be in readiness for us to go right to
work when the appropriation is avail
ablen

To-day's ball game at Snowflake Park
will undoubtedly draw a very large
crowd. The Sacramentos and Oaklands
will be the contesting mines, and both
teams are composed for the most part of
players who have never been seen in a
game in California. Jack" Donohue
will umpire the match, and Reitz will
play at second base for the Oaklands, on
account of the sickness of that clubs
regular player. The game will COM
mence promptly at $50 P. NJ, and the

Seven Hundred New Freight Cars to
be Built Here.
a short time ago it was announced in
the RECoRD-UNIoN that the Southern
Pacific Company intended ordering built
1000 new freight cars, of larger and newer
pattern than those now in use, and it was
intimated at the time that some of them
might be constructed in the company's
shops in this city, provided the work
could be done as economically as in the
East.
Plans and specifications from the local
shops were submitted along with those of
Eastern competitors. and as result 700
out of the 1000 will be built here. This
is big feather in Sacramento's cap.
The new cars will be thirty-four feet in
length, and will be of thirty tons capacity
each. Halt of them will be fitted up spe-
cially for fruit transportation.

A committee of the Citizens Improve

if so, will it do it at a fixed date and in
time to harden before next winter. If
the response is favorable, then that the
city should do its share at the same time,
and also raise the sag in the Y-street

resolved to push the matter of levee at

The Stockton Funny Mans Bug Ii.
Nailed.

The genial young man who writes the
excruciatingly funny stories for the Stock
ton Mail, enlightens the people of the
Slough City, in his own inimitable way,
on the origin of the big black bugs which
swarm around the electric lights and lit
ter up the street crossings and sidewalks
with their crushed bodies, Hp facetiously
declares that these creatures are not
beetles. as is the popular belief, but are
genuine Sacramento mosquitoes.
Sacramentans will no doubt be glad 70
hear that the bugs have emigrated.
1t is not very pleasant sensation to
have one of the big creatures light on
ones neck and dig his claws into the skin
The man who can undergo the sensation
without experiencing paralytic stroke
has good nerve. Women have been very
badly frightened by the bugs dropping on
them.
But despite the Stockton young mans
researches, these bugs are beetles. There

ACTING STRANGELY.
Mrs. Crossley's Conduct While Con-
fined in q Cell,


fined in q Cell.
Mrs. Crossle.y, the woman arrested on
a charge of drunkenness, and whose chill
dren have been taken to an orphan asy-
lum in this city for care, acted as though
mad at the Jail last night. Her little baby
had been placed in the cell with her, but
she suddenly laid it down, and refused
to have anything to do with it. The child
cried SO loudly and continuously that
Captain Lee ordered officer Gibson to
take it to Mrs. Fratt, kind lady who is
always willing to do what she can in
such cases.
After the baby had been taken away,
however, Mrs. Crossley began to scream
at the top of her voice, pound the cell
door with anything she could find, and
rush about as though crazy. After carry
ing on in this manner for an hour or
more, she desisted from sheer exhaus-
ton.
The police are considering the advisa-
