notwithstanding the delay in complet-
ing the organization, due to Lieutenant
Governor Millard's enforced absence,
the senate was the first branch of the
Legislature to start the wheels moving,
and today the routine work of submit
ting bills was begun, and 2l0 new meas
ures are in the hands of the secretary
of the upper house, while the assembly
is yet engaged in q dispute over the
adoption of a set of rules.
The only special feature in tho pro-
seedlings in the senate was the naming
of the committees by the president pro
tenn. The list ss made up by Lieutenant
Governor Willard was adhered to with
out change. and so far as can be learned
the makeup of the committees gives
general satisfaction. The routine work
is we'll under way, and were it not for
the senatorial battle would proceed
without interruption or special delay.
In the assem- bly, Chairman Lynch has
not given out his list OF committees,
and from present indications he will not
do 80 until the rules have been passed
on and adopted, which. from the pres
ent rate of progress, will take all day
tomorrow.
STATE DIVISION.
A rumor that a state division bill will
be introduced by a member from South
srn California could not be confirmed,
every member stating that the time is
not ripe for such q measure,
well-known San Francisco politician
who is keeping close watch on the eitu-
alton remarked. in discussing the ques-
tion, that the colts from the south were
too speedy for the old timers and that it
would be bad policy to get them riled up
on state division, for they might make
the pace too hot and win out the heat in
. spirit of revenge.
Senator Seymour said to THE HERALD
correspondent this morning that the
talk about state division. particularly at
She present time, was premature. There
might come time. though he continued,
when the people will aek fol- it. The
senator referred to the fact that the
boards OF supervisors held a joint con-
vention at Los Angeles recon tly to DIS
eusa needed legislation for that section.

out. Al of the men were armed.
Blacks story was thrilling one. II
created a sensation among the WIT
nesses and other defendants. Black
said several men took cotton balls sat
urated with kerosene, which burned
brightly as they approached the house.
The leader of the crowd knocked at
the door and asked for Worley. Wor-
| ley's mother came to the door and ask
ed what we wanted with Henry. We
told her that we We're going to hang
him for reporting. Worleys little
daughter came to the door and all
three of them stood there We told
Worley that we had come to hang
him. and that there wasn't any use OF
resisting; that he would have to come
and that we intended to take him alive
or dead. Worley was terribly scared
and begged for mercy; said he WASH t
guilty Of reporting, and got down on
his knees to u.s." The prisoner paused
here moment to remark that he nev-
er was so sorry for thing, and he
would never forget Worleys pitlful
looks as he crouched on the porch of
of his humble home. 'Worley 5

her that her son had been traitor to
her people and that she ought to be
willing to have him put out Of the
way. Henry looked at his mother
and asked her if she. too. was against
him. She said yes. she was going to
let the men take him for all she cared.
Worley broke down then and cried
like "a baby, and told the men that if
his mother had gone back on him they
could tax" him out ard do what they
pleased. He never resisted us and
when we told him TO get on a horse he
did it. Worley was tied with hands
