special to the HERALD.

Sacramento, Feb. 27.-Seymour's bill
establishing Board of Charities was the
subject of very animated debate in the
Senate this morning during the course
OF which Senator Mathews particularly
distinguished himself by his able speech
in defense of the institutions of Southern
California. Senator Earl started the
amending by moving to strike out the
blind asylum at Berkeley from the list OF
institutions to be governed by the board.
He made lengthy speech in favor of
his amendment, and several other Sem
ators followed taking the same position.
Seymour, who saw the moment the
amending began that his bill was gone,
tried to kill Earl's amendment, but by a
vote of % to 13 it was carried, and the
thirteen included Orr and others who are
opposed to the whole bill.
Senator Androus at once moved to
amend by striking out the Whittier school.
Senator Gesford thought that Androus
was right, but wanted the lone school
excluded also, and favored putting them
both under one management. Mathews
favored the Androus amendment and said
W. G. Patterson Andrew Mullen and DR..
1hyHeS, all TRUSTEES aU WnlUblcr, were
most honorable gentlemen. Seymour
again tried to save his bill by killing the
amendment, but many amendments be-
gan to pour in while that of Androus'
was being discussed, and Orr brought
matters to a head by moving to strike
out the names of all institutions.
Senator Martin made an humorous
speech favoring Orr's amendment. Then
Seymour again tried to defeat the amend
ment, which, of course, killed the bill by
10 to 49, and Orr's amendment prevailed.
More amendments were offered from all
sides of the chamber and finally the bill
was amended, and the amendments all
went2back to the Committee on Retrench-
ment to see if they could patch up an ac-
ceptable bill.
The appropriation bill occupied the aft
ernoon session. The biggest fight occurred
over the appropriation for the Veterans
Home, or rather the method by which it
is run,

cred by the Judiciary Committee. Its

Senate

Senate
Sacramento, Feb. 27.-Seymour' bill
establishing a State Board of Public
Charities and Correction, to have the
management of all insane asylums, state
prison and blind asylums, came up as
special order, and nearly the entire morn
ing session was consumed by debate.
Seymour, Burke of Santa Cruz, Withng
ton of San Diego and Smith of Tulare fa-
vored the bill. So
Martin of Placer opposed the bill, say
ing it would not prove economical, but
would cost more than at present. The
amendment by Earl was adoptd, except
ing the Deaf and Dumb Institute from
the bill.
The general appropriation bill was the
special order for the afternoon. 1t was
taken up and various amendments pro-
posed and voted on, causing number of
stormy debates. The Finance Committee
and other amendments were approved as
follows

600; contingent expenses of the Assembly
$40, 900; stationery, fuel and light for the
Legislature and state officers, 1000;

San Jose Normal School library, $70O0
Board of Viticulture, $250O; Board OF
Horticulture, l2,600; Veterans Home,
Yountville, 500, 900.
MCGOWAN of Humboldt made strong
effort to strike out the appropriation for
target practice, saying that the National
Guard had demonstrated its utter useless
ness, but the motion failed to carry.
Gesford of Napa had fight on his
hands to secure the Veterans Home APP
propriation, but succeeded, a proviso be-
ing inserted that all offices OF the home
must be at Yountville, and that supplies
must be let by public contract. Further
consideration of the bill was postponed
until tomorrow afternoon.
A concurrent resolution by Senator
Mathews authorized the Governor to APP
point delegation of citizens to attend
the Governor and staff and join in the
dedication ceremonies of Chicamauga
and Chattanooga National Parks, in ac-
cordance with an invitation issued by
Congress. 1t went to the Federal Rela-
tions Committee.
Seawall's bill fixing the hours of labor
in logging camps was made special order
for Friday. Similar action was taken with
the Hawaiian annexation resolution and
other special orders for today, including
the bill relative to the Stockton police
and the motion to reconsider the passage
of the Jordan claim bill.

SENATOR AND SHERIFF
Lively Row Between Politicians il
Portland

Portland, Ore, Feb. 27.-An exciting
scene occurred in the corridor of the Wor-
cester building when State Senator Henry
E. McGinn and George C. Sears, Sheriff
OF the county, came to blows. Sears
called McGinn sneak and the Senator
responded by landing his right on the
Sheriff's jaw. Sears drew his revolver and
struck McGinn between the eyes with it.
Before any further damage could be done
witnesses to the affair separated the men.
The trouble grew out of the passage of a
bill by the late Legislature cutting down
Sears fees

WHERE is THE WANDERING BOYa
An Estate Worth $4,000 Awaits Mrs.
Sarah Towmey's Son

San Francisco, Feb. 27.-The estate of
Sarah Towmey, or Shea, in New York,
valued at $50, 900, awaits the claim of the
dead woman's son. He came to Cali
fornia fifteen years ago and worked on
ranches in various parts of the state. For
the last few years no letters have been re-
ceived from him. Mrs. Towmey was sup

saving her pennies. Efforts are being
made to trace the boy. One of the pro-
Wis ons- of the will, which leaves all the
money to the son, is that the entire sum
shall be expended, if necessary, in find
ing him, and that if he be dead the fort
une be expended in building him mon
ument.
