the joint rules of the Seventeenth leg
islature. The committee on rules and
order of business recommended as per-

A message was received from the
council announcing the passage of
council bill No. l by Mr.. Edwards, to
prevent the removal or alteration of
any bill. 1t was read in the assembly
the first time, read by title the second
time and referred to the judiciary com.

Notice was given of the introduction

LEGISLATURE.
A Blow Aimed at the
Deadly Cigarette.
Local Option a LegisIa-
tive Possibility.
A Triple Attempt to Procure
Election Reform.
A Variety of Proposed Laws on Many
Subjects Introduced In Both
Houses.

Proceedings in the legislature yester-
day were rather uneventful. A part of
the business already under way was
finished and some new business i'll the
way of dozen bills was introduced
into one or the other of the branches.
The afternoon session in the house was
taken up entirely with discussion
concel ming permanent rules.
The nearest bill to becoming a law
is council bill No. l, to prevent the re-
moval or surreptitious alterations of a
bill. Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton. Experience may be the father.
At any rate this bill would probably
not have been introduced at all but for
the mysterious disappearance of an i'm
portant measure during the closing
hours of the seventeenth legislature.

FAIRS WILL.
Attorneys Confer Re-

An Accusation Against
the Executors
Who Alone Could Profit by Its
Disappearance.
1t Is Also Charged That in Their In
Authority Had Been Added.
By the Associated Press.


SAN Francisco, Jan. 29.-The at
torneys for all the parties interested in
the will of the late ex-senator James G.
Fair met today in conference regarding
the theft of the document from the
county clerks vault. The counsel for
the Fair children maintain that the
purloining OF the will was in the in
terest of the executors.
It is claimed by some that the will
filed with the county clerk is forgery.
In proof of this it is stated that after
James 6. Fair signed the will which
was lengthy document in thirteen
single sheets, six sheets were removed
and substituted by others containing
provisions creating trust conditions un.
der which the executors act and the
disinheritance of any children who
may be born to Charles L. Fair the
surviving son.
1t is said that the substituted sheets
of the papers were of different manu-
facture from the others and some as
sert that the theft was designed to
cover up this discrepancy. There is no
clue to the thief, but the deputies IN
the county clerks Office rest under a
cloud of suspicion.

Gil is at home daring the session at the
residence of his sister, Mrs. j. A. Mar
shall.
The comparative quiet which per-
vaded the council yesterday is regarded
as part of the calm which precedes a
storm.
Councilman Davis has made careful
study of the subject Of irrigation and as
chairman of that committee will render
valuable service.
Councilman Packard seems to be
preparing lengthy bill. He enlisted
and appropriated for the balance of the
morning the services of committee
clerk number three as soon as sworn in.
Councilman Babbitt was able to give
Brother Scott few practical points
upon his bill regulating the Office hours
OF probate Judges. Mr.. Babbitt has
been filling that Office in Coconino
county.
There seems to be no limit to the USE

provided yesterday with shears, paper
weights pen racks and extra ink bottles
until the surfaces of their desks were
taxed to their utmost capacity.
Deep interest is felt in both houses
in the bill for the creation of Navajo
county. A large chart of Apache county
showing the lines of the proposed di:
vision and the location of every settle
ment was shown in the council cham
ber yesterday. Councilman Aspinwal
visited and talked, to some purpose
. evidently, in every one of the latter
during the campaign. While he prom
ised not to favor repeal of the law re-
quiring two-thirds vote to secure g
division of a county where 900 has
, been spent in Improvements on the
/ county building, he is not pledged tt
oppose county division. but on the con
trarv. strongly favors it. One of thu
principal objections to the presen
| county seat, St. Johns, is the necessity
of the $50 miles stage journey to attent

vision of the speaker was adopted.
Messrs. Wildman, Gaddis and Hunt
were appointed committee on the gov
ernor's message to refer it by heads to
the proper committees for considera-
ton.
At the afternoon session the assem-
bly, went into committee of the whole,
DIR. Wright in the chair, to consider the
report of the committee on rules and
order OF business recommending the
adoption of the rules of the seventeenth
assent bly,.
The rules were taken up seriatim and
passed without objection until rule %
was reached, when Mr.. Moore offered
an amendment calculated to materially
alter the method OF disposing Of bills.
In order to expedite matters he pro-
posed that the bills be read twice by
title and referred by the speaker to
whatever committee he might deem
proper; that they should afterward be
referred to the committee of the whole
for discussion and upon the favorable
report of the whole committee to pass
to third reading and final vote with
out debate.
The amendment was met by two
principal objections, first that too great
power would be lodged in the speaker,
and second that sufficient opportunity
would not be given for debate. Mr.
Moore agreed to an amendment remoy-
ing the latter objection and the dis.
cussion turned on the former one in the
course of which the committee wan
dered into the woods Mr.. Barnes. the
leading objector, took advantage of this
circumstance to show that committee
of the whole as contemplated in Mr.
Moore's amendment was necessarily 6
time consumer. No conclusion was
reached after two hours discussion anG
the matter on motion of Mr.. Wildman,
was referred to special committee o.
three.
The committee rose and the assembly
! adjourned.

The Government Weather Service
Station in this city, which has been in

Efforts in that direction have been

into the error of removing it to San

The Chamber of Commerce took the
matter up last week, however, and

Special Brew.

Captain Ruhstallar is out with a
special brew of the famous Gilt Edge
for the holiday season. The special
brew is sure to win new honors for its
maker and to add to the laurels that
have already crowned Gilt Edge king of
all steam beers. The extraordinary de-
mand for the product of Captain Rub
staller's brewery continues to increase.
This is SO because of the merits of Gilt
Edge, which is an honest beer made
from malt and hops. The reputation
of this favorite beverage has extended
throughout the State, and wherever it
has come into competition the popular
verdict is in its favor. The special holt
day brew is in the nature of a treat to
the public, which has been SO generous
in its appreciation Of the efforts of Cap
tain Ruhstaller to give the people the

careful personal attention can procure

A PETITION FROM LIFE TERRIERS.
Sent From San Quentin to Governor
Budd.
They ASK Him to Pardon or Commute
One Every Year, at Christmas
or Thanksgiving.

/ Governor Budd has received a petit
ton from fifty-five inmates of San
Quentin Prison who are confined there
| for life, which he has under considera-
| ton.
| 1t sets forth the fact that there are a
| large number of life-termers now in
San Quentin who have served the State
from fifteen to twenty-four years and
have long since by repentance and suf-
fering atoned for their misdeeds, and
whose only hope for liberty is the &C
ticn that is petitioned for.
They state that it is the custom in
vogue in many States to select, either
on Christmas or Thanksgiving Day,
one or more long term convicts and con-
fer upon them Executive clemency,
either in the shape of a pardon or a
communication, and they ask that the
Governor inaugurate the custom here.
Most of the Signers are convicted
murderers. Warden Hale granted them
permission to send the petition to Gov
ernor Budd, who, on its receipt, sent
it to Warden Aull at Folsom asking
his opinion on ii.
Warden Aull wrote in reply that he
fully approved the suggestion and
thought the most utllnS time LOT the
exercise of Executive clemency would
be between Christmas and New Years.
At such times the public is in a kindly
mood, he says, and best prepared to
receive gracious acts of clemency, and
the convict himself will go out with a
Softened spirit and a better disposition
toward society. He has he says, been
handling the criminal element of the
State as an official of the Folsom and
san Quentin Prisons, and his convic-
ton, derived from experience, is that
the element of hope conduces more
largely than all other factors to the
good conduct and reformation Of Grim
inals.
Governor Budd has not as yet sent
reply to the petition.
