HE August extra session has al. ready made ducks and drakes of the plans of the senatorial committees on. trusted with various investigations. For instance. the committee on immi- grafton, of which Senator Hill Is chair man, intended visiting the Pacific coast in August to complete the study of the immigration question begun fin New York. The committee on territories has been waiting for the committee on i'm migration to complete it's work in the east, as several senators are mem bers of both committees, before start ing upon its tour of the territories that want to become states, and now they cannot go. The committee which was charged with visiting the California ports, San Pedro and Santa Monica, to decide which is best adapted for i'm provement into deep water harbor. also postponed it's trip too long. Bnt these things are not misfortunes, ex- eept to those deprived of a pleasant trip at government expense. ns infor- mation quite as reliable as would have been gained by personal visit can be obtained by the senators right in Wash. ington.

SONTAG'S MOTHER.
She Talks Sadly of Her
Dead Son.
She Declares Her Conviction That
He Had Nothing to Do With
the Train Robbery.

Mrs. Sontag, the m other of the dead out

mental strain of his tragic death.
Mrs. Sontag is the wife of a farmer
living near Mankato, Mpn. She is a
soft-voiced. sad-hearted. plain little woman
with honesty and motherliness written on
every feature. Her dead son was the fruit
OF her first marriage, and his name was
not Sontag, but Contant. though he
bore the name of his stepfather ever
since his mothers second marriage
AT home he was always obedipft, affec-
tionata and industrious. He came to Cali
fornla ABOUT six years ago and brgan ser
vice with the Southern Pacific Company
as brakeman. After working q few
onths he was caught between two cars,
suffering injuries from which he never re-
covered. Two ribs were smashed and
driven into his left lung and his heart was
displaced. The wounds healed, but il was
evident that he could never do another
days hard manual labor. When released
from the hospital at Sacramento he begged
the company for light work, such as watch
man or Switcbman; but, his mother de-
clares, he was turned away like dog

him with kindness, gave him food and
shelter. and whom he grew stronger set

he ought to have surrendered when the
officers first came for them. He was en-
