The Committee Reports VOORHEES, Bill
Back Favoring Its Passage.
The Joint Committee on County and
Township Government met last night.
and considered Senate Bill No. 636, bv
VOORHEES,, which extends the terms of
county officers from two years until four.
The promoters of the bill urged a report
favorable to its passage alleging as the
cause that great saving would be made
by holding elections once in four instead
of two years. Mr.. Mordecai could not
see where any great saving would occur
as elections were held by the State at
large every two years.
Senator Voorhies said that the saving
made on printed matter, advertising,
ETC., under the Australian ballot law.
would be enormous.
Mr.. Mordecai insisted that if any saw
ing did occur it would be only to those
individuals who were candidates. He
was heartily opposed to the passage of
the bill, and stated that the county Of
icials of Fresno County were now hold
ing office for a period of four years.
though he contended that action was not
constitutional.
The bill was reported back with a
recommendation that it do pass, the vote
standing ayes 6, noes 2.
The constitutionality of the Act was
raised both before and after the action of
the committee, and whether the Lepisla-
ture has the right to extend the term of
Office without constitutional amend
ment was a point on which some of the
members expressed a doubt.

The Junior Society Gives Pleasing
Entertainment.
Those who attended the musical and
literary social given by the Junior So,
ciety of Christian Endeavor at the West
minister Presbyterian Church last night
enjoyed rare and unique treat and
those who missed it will do well to attend
the next entertainment given by the
society, which is composed of young peo-
pie from the age of or thereabouts up.
Inc Junior Society was organized last
August and has been under the instruc-
ton of Miss Nellie Todd, who has de-
veloped the youngsters by her efforts in
an astonishing degeee. When all did SO
well 1t seems invidious to make special
mention OF any one, but the Peak
Sisters" among whom the leader, Edith
henwlck, was especially deserving of
praise, gave a remarkably line per-
1ormance, and Lillian Hink, in the '"Tat-
thing Neighbors," displayed good elocu-
tlonary ability. The tableau, song and
pantomime, which finished the first part,
was especially ine.
The second part, which consisted of re-
freshments and sociability, was probably
nearly as We'll enjoyed as the first. The
1ollowlng programme was rendered.

THE COMING RECITAL.
A recital will be given at the Congrega-
tional Church on March 18th under the
auspices of the Young Peoples Senior
Society OF Christian Endeavor, for which
a very interesting programme is being
prepared.
A number of recitations and readings
will be given by Miss Emile Mae Con-
nelly, musical selections by the best local
talent and other attractions. Miss Con-
nelly is a talented reader and has for
some time been under the tuition of
School superintendent Albert Hart. On
this occasion she will give readings upon
variety of subjects.
1t is also promised that six of Sacra-
mento's best-looking young ladies will
oihclate as ushers.

lished later.

Two Lawyers Appointed to Defend al
INDECENT Murderer.

1Wo Lawyers Appointed to Defend an
INDECENT Murderer.
Fong All Suey was arraigned in DEPART
ment Two of the Superior Court Yesterday
for the murder of Fong All Man at
Fourth and l streets few weeks ago. He
stated that he had no counsel, and being
asked if he wished any particular one ap-
pointed, answered no.
Then the fun commenced and great
hilarity reigned in the courtroom for a
short time. Judge Johnson stated that
on this occasion he would appoint two
counsel for the prisoner and named
General A. l.. Hart and c. L. Jones.
a roar Of laughter went up from the
assembly, which had listened for davs to
the opposing counsel in the Palmer case.
and the Judge stated that he thought it no
more than just that the two gentlemen
who got all the Chinese cases in which
there was any money should take one in
which there was none.
General Hart and Jones both nlea6ed
that it was impossible for them to take
the case, as they had now several murder
cases each on hand which would enpape
all their attention. They were also lust
finishing an exhausting trial of long
duration.
The court listened to their pleas. and
sdlu ne knew Inelr statements were true.
Lincoln White arose and said to the
court that he thought it right that thew
should serve. They made money from
other cases, and could afford to defend
this one. The younger members of the
bar were generally appointed for such
cases, who could not afford to waste the
time which they needed to make money
for themselves.
The Judge stated that while the two
counsel first named were working for
money, the younger members were work
ing for reputation. He would therefore
appoint Lincoln White and Jud. c.
Bruse.
The latter explained to his honor that
all his arrangements were made to leave
the State on the first of the month, for an
absence of several months. He was
therefore excused, and Lincoln White
ana L. ;. Driver were given chance to
augment their regulations as criminal
lawyers.

Senate Bill No. 6S3, by Mr.. Hart, was
taken up. 1t is an Act to pay the claim
of c. SCHNEIDER against the State. The
claim is for $4,000. Schindler was repre-
sented before the committee by Jud G.
Brusle. de was injured while working
at Suffers Fort in 1891.
Mr.. Brusie called ex-Mayor Gregory.
who stated the facts in the case, and also
presented the certificate of the attending
physician, which showed that SCHNEIDER
had not yet recovered from the injuries
received.
The committee volunteered to visit Mr..
SCHNEIDER to-day and Investigate his
claim personally.

pay the widow of w. S. Moffat the claims
of her deceased husband for services rem
dered the State by him as member of
the Constitutional Convention, and an
propriating money for the same, was re-
turned with the recommendation that it
do not pass.
Assembly Bill No. 765, by Anderson, to
pay the claim of John l.. Wilson for $500,
offered as a reward for the capture of Joe
roster, who assisted i'll robbing the
Marysville stage in 1876. The bill was re-
ported back with recommendation that
it do pass.
The fellow of the preceding bill, No.
5l6, to pay Wilson's claim of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of Tom Brown,
who assisted in the above-mentioned rob-
berry. was passed on file.
Assembly Bill No. SIS, by Finlayson,
to pay the claim of r. b. Young, was re-
ported back with recommendation that
it do pass. The claim is for So, l3l 81, and
is for work done on the administration
building and factory at the Whittier Re-
form School. The committee thought the
claim one of the most just which has been
made during the session.
Assembly Bill No. sol, by Pueschel. to
pay the claim of William Sanders, was
reported back without recommendation.
as Mr.. Pueschel, the author, did not put
in an appearance to explain the claim.

in excess of the several funds from which
they are to be drawn.
The members of the committee assert
that the estimates for all public institu-
tlons Tor the ensuing two years have been
uniformly high and that they have care
fully weighed each and every bill that
has come before them.
1t IS thought the Governor will exercise
the right OF veto in order to bring the
different appropriations within limits,
and this is why the mem bers who have
fathered claims and appropriations do
not know where they are at"
Chairman Mathews, in speaking of the
matter, said that work as hard as thew
might, and did, to keep down appropria-
tions, it had been impossible for mem
pers of either party to keep expenses
down to the figure they had promised
their constituency. Mr.. Mathews did
not venture an opinion as to what would
be the result.
Assembly Bill No. 554, by Tindall, to
pay the claim of Cornelius Lynch of

Lynch was injured while employed on
