QUEER TRAVELLING EXPENSES.
California Officials Want the State to
Pay for Poker Chips and Tips.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, May IA controversy has
arisen between the state board OF examiners OF
the governor, secretary OF state and the attorney
general and the supreme court justices and
officers. The examiners have questioned bills
sent in by the supreme court for the late trip to
Los Angeles. Chief Justice Beatty's and Justice
Fullertons bills were cut down 50 cents each,
Justice Harrison's 81, Justice Sharpstein's 81,
and those OF the court attaches from 80 cents to
81. Secretary OF State Waite, by whose authority
the reductions were made, stated to Bee re-
porter that the board of examiners was response
bic. There are PAS state officers, and some check
had to be placed upon them in the matter OF ex-
penses, or the board of examiners might as well
be abolished.
He did not believe in even a supreme court
justice charging "tips" given palace car porters
to the state, and he did not think il right that
secretaries or clerks or bailiffs of even the SUI
preme court should in travelling engage an en-
tire section OF sleeping car. In further proof
that there must be some safeguard in such mat
ters, Mr.. Waite said that a few weeks ago
state official charged for 'three
decks" of playing cards and poker
chips. The board excluded the item. Another
official had charged for services for himself aud
assistant in Sacramento, and IL had developed
that the Services had consisted of the officials
efforts TO have lobbied through the legislature
an increased apportionment for bis own benefit.
He refused to even give the name of
his assistant, and his claim was knocked
out. In still another case it was
ascertained that travelling officials assistant"
for whom expenses were asked. was his own
wife. who was taking pleasure trip. Secretary
Waite said that he is not inclined TO criticise
what previous boards of examiners have done,
but he intimated that the various boards of
officials entitled to travelling expenses will have
to be little more careful in future in sending
in their claims.

dress in favor OF federation. Grand Chief How

false and without just foundation, and be and

TACOMA, May l2.ISpecial. l-Surveyor-G Gen
eral Cavanaugh was in the city today and states
that he does not know whether Governor Ferry
will accept his resignation, which he rendered
to Acting Governor Laughton when the latter
appointed him state agent for Washington at
Washington City. Referring to the visit of
Attorney General Jones and John Arthur to
Washington City to look after the selection of
government lands by the state and the interests
of university lands, Mr.. Cavanaugh says the
state agent at the capital could transact all such
business alone. In as much as the states agent
would have as bis business to look after the
interests OF his state, to the end that it may
secure privileges enjoyed by other states, Mr..
Cavanaugh does not consider such agent in any
wise lobbyist
