EMPoRIA, Kans., Feb. 19.-Hartwell P
Heath; or Frank II. Truesdel, formerly of
the Elmira Telegram and later of the San
Francisco Chronicle, who is in Jail here for
attempting to pass forged drafts, still
maintains his cool self-possession and still
refuses to talk, referring. all questions to
his lawyer. Much against his will he was
photographed this evening, dispatch
having been received from the Chief of
Police of Syracuse, New York, requesting
his picture and urging the author tiles here
to hold him at all hazards, as he was
wanted at Syracuse on two charges of for

from Congress as it could reorganize under
State authority.
Kelly said there was a question about
ats right to do that. Reilly proposed to
the representatives of the companies a
new plan for the settlement of their debt.
which is practically a variation of the
Reilly BILL. He proposed that instead of
raising the first mortgage debt, extend
ing Government debts, the companies
should pay the principal of the Govern
ment debt into the treasury, that the in
.terest on the Government debt should be
extended and the first mortgage debt be
extended under the terms of the Reilly bill
to be paid in inStallments through period
OF fifty years, with interest at per cent.
The advantage over the pending bill
which this plan presents is that the treas
ury would receive the amount of the prin-
cipal of the Government debt instead
of the holders of the first mortgage bonds
being given a settlement and the Govern
ment debt, principal and interest, being
extended.
The payment of the principal, Mr.. Reilly
says, would give help to the treasury,
while the extension of the first mortgage
bonds would merely be good investment
by a reissue of the first mortgage bonds
This change could be made without
financial complication, because the amount
of the first mortgage and Government
mortgage (the principals are the same
some $33, 900 900.
The apparent ability and willingness of
the companies to raise the principal of the
Government suggested the feasibility of
the change. BY this plan about $20,OO0,-
600 in round numbers would be paid into
the treasury, the balance of the principal
being covered by the sinking fund, which
amounts to about Sl4 600, 900.
Reilly said he could not take the re-
sponsibility of recommending the plan for
the satisfaction of the Government claim
by paying the principal and remitting the
= interest, since it involves the relinquish-
ment of an immense sum due for interest,
which could be collected under the Reilly
bill or the new proposition, which is based
upon the bill.
The representatives of the Union and the
Central Pacific took the suggestion under
consideration and Will give their views on
1t in a few days.

WENT TO GET A DIVoRCE,

Bat He Tdrried on the Wdy to Pass
Forged Cheeks.
The crime which Frank H. Truesdel COM
mitted, and for which he is now in Jail,
seems to have had a peculiar history. 1t
was well known in this city that Truesdell
was going East, but it was not supposed he
would stop on the way, especially in the
manner in which he did. From all ap-
pearances he did not have any intention
of committing his foolish act until day
or so before his departure.
While walking along Market street a
well-known local newspaper man picked
up bundle of blank checks on the First
National Bank of Pasadena. While exam
lining them the newspaper man was ac-
costed by Truesdell, who asked him what
he was looking at. When told Truesdell
asked him for the checks, and as the man
had no use for them he handed them to
Truesdell.
The old feeling must have come over the
forger, and he must have thought of the
scheme at which he was caught AS far
as known Truesdells tricks with checks
and drafts had been for small amounts,
seldom exceeding 800 at time. He must
have determined to make big scoop.
Truesdell left San Francisco two weeks
ago tomorrow. Before leaving he told
come close friends he was going directly
to New York on business for man of this
city, though be might stop at Covington,
KY, TO try to make arrangements to get
divorce from his wife, who is residing
there with her father, Mr.. Clark.
TruesdelPs idea IL getting divorce from
his wife was, according to his own story,
for the purpose of getting free in order that
he might marry prominent and wealthy
heiress of this city. AS he was short of
funds he evidently intended to make a
good raise so as to properly equip himself
for the expenses of the divorce and the
subsequent marriage. Emboldened by his
past successes in escaping from punish
ment he must have imagined he could
easily dupe the rustic bankers OF Kansas
There seems to be no doubt that instead
of going directly East Truesdel went to Po-
mona and there mailed letters to the Kan
sas bankers, after having obtained some OF
the banks stationery, or after having had
some letterheads and envelopes of the
bank printed to his order. Then after
waiting day or two to allow the letters
to precede him he went on to Emporia.
kans., with the result that he, for once,
was caught mapping and found himself
placed in jail.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19.-The Senate bill

against the adulteration of drugs and
food. came up to-day.
The Hospitals Committee had reported
the bill without recommendation, but
Wilmington and Pedlar urged its import
ance, while Hart, Aram and Martin pic
tured the hardships that they might work
on patent-medicine manufacturers. The
bill passed by vote of % to 4. Hart gave
notice of reconsideration.
Hoyt's bill to regulate the sale of rail
road tickets (the scalpers' bil) was also on
special file, but on motion of VOORHEES, the
reconsideration of the bill was made a
special order for tomorrow morning.
Bledsoe's logging camp bill, passed by
the Assembly, made trouble when it came

1t makes ten hours a days work in the

Seawell championed the passage of the
bill. Gleaves proposed that the hours of
labor be changed from ten to eight, and

SACRAMENTO, Feb. Lobbyists have

the remark of Senator to-day who had
been importuned by a half dozen in sue
cession. The danger point in legislation is
now reached.
Senator Burke, who proposes to recon-
slider the action by which the scalpers bill
passed the third reading, was absent, and
that postponed any talk on the merits of
the measure in the Senate. There are
other Hobbies here too, and it may be that
some startling developments will be made
shortly.
There has been little if any money used
during the session, but it is anticipated
that the ''cinch" bills may bring several
little sacks here before the week is out. A
representative of one of the corporations
attacked in one of the bills re-
marked tonight that if his people
were wise they would put out little
sack, where it could be had for
the asking, but would have detectives with
the sack and make such thorough ex-
posure of the methods of the "cinchn legis-
lators that it would cease to profit such
persons in future. 1t is believed that an
attempt of this sort to trap legislators will
be made shortly
