SHOULD DO MORE WORK.
SENATOR GESFORD OPPOSES THE
EXTRA POLICE COURT,
The Senate County Government Com
mite at Work-Fire De-
partment Bills.

The Senate Committee on County Gov
ernment and Township Organization met
immediately after the adjournment of the
upper house yesterday afternoon, Chair
man Bailey presiding.
Senate Bill No. Z, providing that towns
which have no treasury may deposit the
city funds in banks, was considered and
recommended for passage, with slight
amendment.
The bill providing that the City Treas
urer must make regular monthly state
ments to the Mayor of all receipts and
disbursements, and that the Mayor shall
cause the report to be published, was also
favorably considered.
Senate Bill No. Z, authorizing Boards
of Health TO appoint inspectors of drain
age and plumbing, was then taken up.
The only difference between this bill and
the present law is that the former per-
mits small towns to have inspectors as
well as the large cities. They may be
appointed, however, only in towns haV-
ing Board Of Health or Health Officer.
The bill also gives the inspectors authority
to arrest persons who refuse to comply
with the sanitary laws.
The bill did not exactly suit the COM
mittee, and was referred to Senator Brod-
erick, with instructions to draw IN n
substitute.
Senate Bill No. s, authorizing the an
pointment of Market Inspectors in cities
of $4,000 population, was amended so as
To apply 10 cities having 100000 inhabit-
ants and recommended for passage.
Senator Mahoney asked the committee
TO refer the two Senate bills providing for
ii paid Fire Department for San kran-
cisco and talxp tho a
of politics, to the Attorney General for
an opinion on Its cOnstitutionality The
request was granted.
The bill authorizing County Clerks of
cities of over 100000 Inhabitants TO ap-
point clerks and copyists was tavorabIy
recommended.
Senate Bill No. l, permitting letter.
carriers TO ride on street cars free of
charge, was discussed at length. The
constltutlonallty of the bill was uues-
toned, and Senator Mathews declared
that the Government already provided
Tor the fares OF mail-carriers. The bill
was finally recommended for passage,
however.
Senate Bill No. 81, providing for the
establishment of an extra Police Court in
San Francisco to try jury cases exclu-
sively.
Senator Maher spoke in favor of the
bill, saying that the wheels of Justice had
been clogged in San Francisco through
demands Tor jury trials. Three hundred
of these cases were now pending there.
Senator Gesford opposed recommend
ing the bill for passage. He said that if
the Police Judges of San Francisco would
work little harder their calendars would
not til up. Beside, he said there was
bill for the suppression of "shysters." ;"
which, if passed, would put considerable
OF stop TO the practice of calling for
juries to hear trivial cases.
After quite a discussion the bill was
laid over for further consideration. and
the committee adjourned.

The trial of Gus Haberdank for swind-
ling a Swede named Louis Kaeding, by

Simpson asserted there would be no
trouble about the collection of railroad
taxes ii his amendment was adopted.
Action on Mr.. simpsons amendment
was deferred.
Mr.. Price withdrew his constitutional
amendment, as it was long way down
on the file, and the points were covered
by that of Mr.. Afford.
On motion Affords bill was ordered
reported back to the Assembly with
recommendation that it be adopted.
Assembly Constitutional Amendment
No. Y, introduced by MIR. Barlow, pro-
viding against the alien ownership of
land, was taken up. In full the bill Is as
follows:
Foreigners of the white race, or of
African descent, eligible TO become citi-
Zens Of the United States under the natur-
alization laws thereof while bona fde
residents of this State, shall have the
same rights in respect to the acquisition,
possession, enjoyment, transmission and
inheritance of all property, other than
real estate, as native-born citizens; but
any such foreigners who may, at the time
Of the adoption of this amendment, own
or possess any such real estate or any
title interest therein. shall be allowed five
years next thereafter for the legal trans
Ter or disposal of any such possession"
Mr.. Barlow read extracts from the
statutes of Illinois tending to verify the
constitutiOnality of his proposed amend
ment.
Mr.. Schlesinger thought the quotations
were not applicable to his amend
ment. He said tina Cooley, the
greatest writer on constitutional law, had
said such a law would be unconstitu-
tional.
Barlow differed, and thought it time
the American people were preparing laws
Tor their own protection.
Mr. Thomas of Nevada thought it
would be good plan to refer it back to
the House without recommendation.
Mr.. Sargent thought the committee
should report one way or the other. As
Tar as he was concerned, he was diametri-
cally opposed to the amendment. The
mines of his county would probably
never have been developed had it not
been for foreign capital.
Mr.. Taggart said he was in accord with
any action to preserve America for Amer
leans. But he did not think the Legisla-
ture could enact any laws which would
be retroactive.
1t was the sense of the meeting that the
amendment be referred back to the AS
sembly without recommendation.

the matter had been made public.
General Clunie said he had kept his con-
tract to the letter. If not, he was re-
sponsible. He denied emphatically that
Mr.. Daley had any cause for complaint
against him, and he believed Mr.. Todd
had kept to the contract made. Mr.. Dali
ley had come to him yesterday to have
assurance of leave TO run the house for q

de saw Mr.. Todd, and they agreed that
the Daley company should stay on, if it
wanted to. At Daley was on hand,
but he, General Clunie, was not able,
nor was Mr.. Todd, to prepare the con-
tract before morning, as they both were
busy. Daley then said he'd leave, and
he, CIunie, replied, There's no strings
on you; go, if you want to.' AS to the
stage, he says he could not put up a stove
as the tlue interfered with scene
painting; he put in a coal-oil stove IT'LL
lie could do better. But, he added. not 4
stage IN San Francisco is heated. He
thought he was able to run his own busi-
ness, and judged Alr. Daley to be erratic,
nervous, and not deSirous Of remaining
any how. lie, General Clunie, had re-
buked Mr.. Todd for ordering Daley out
OF the office, and promised the latter to fit
nm up an office at once, but Todd had
ordered Daley out because so many 9TH
ers followed him in. Mr.. Todd, on his
part, said the contract had been kept.
Dailey's statements he denied in toto.
Mr.. Daley, after the first week, had notI-
fed him that he would quit in two weeks;
1t was no new resolve now. He had given
everything to the stage the contract called
for, and it is the same as all companies
write with the Opera-houSe and the
Metropolitan. The letter of Mr.. Duflield
was week old, and not new matter.
He was very indignant that Mr.. Daley
had dragged the matter before the public,
and when he was absent and unable to
reply to the audience.
The "Incog." company, headed by
Charles Dickson, had good house at the
Metropolitan Theater last night, and pre-
sented the comedy well, and with entire
satisfaction to a critical audience.
