Sacramento Makes a Desperate
Struggle to Hold the Position
END OF YESLER WILL CASE
Murderer Makes Confession-Dynam
Plot Discovered - Spanish
Countess Shot
END OF YEsLER WILL CASE

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March l5-The
people of Sacramento made a desperate
attempt last night before the Legislature
adjourned to have the vote 10y which
the question of moving the state capital
to San Jose was adopted recon-
sidered. Sacramento was again de-
feated by vote of 43 to 32 and the peo-
pie will now vote on the question.
SAN FRANCISCO, March ia
special from Sacramento this morning
says: An open attempt at bribery
characterized the closing hours of the
legislature, but was allowed to pass
without rebuke, simply because the
San Jose people did not care to push
their cut and injured Sacramento
victims harder than they had been. In
brief, there was "sack" put into the
capital fight by the Sacramento people
at the very last moment. 1t was al
most in plain sight, too, and tre-
mendous effort was made to persuade
enough men IN tine assembly to recon
slider the resolution adopting the con-
stitutiOnal amendment removing the
legislature but it was too open.

A Great Water supply

During the discussion of the Eldridge
contract at the council last evening the
question of the necessity Of daming
the outlet of Lake WhatcOm to secure
an adequate supply during the dry
season, came up. G.. w. Dorr, who
was present anent the question Of the
adequacy Of the water supply, stated
that during law suit in the earl rly
history of the water company expert
testimony, based upon scientific cal
culations, was introduced showing that
if the ll-inch water main running from
the lake was left wide open, running IA
continual stream, it would lower the
lake only one-sixtieth Of an inch pei
day. A stream of this size Is sufficient
for a city Of 10000 people.
