NO FACTS WERE PRESENTED.
The Grand Jury Considered a Poor
Prober.
THE COMMITTEE GIVEN SOME ADVICE.
A Suggestion That the Publication
Committee Begin on Their Own
Members Offered.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-The Republicans
of both houses may meet in joint caucus
tomorrow to discuss the Lexow commits
sion bill. The bill is dead, but its few sup
porters do not seem to be aware of this
fact, and although it has passed the third
day, when fer sanitary precautions it
ought to be buried, they are still using cleo
trio efforts to revive the corpse from what
they consider trance.
Stewart Menzies, HI. l.. Davis, l. j. Tru-
man and Wallace Bradford are here to de-
lay the burial of the bill if they can.
The persistent attempts to interfere with
municipal affairs by the appointment OF
State commission to investigate seem, to
use mild term, strange. Stewart Menzles
was urging the proposition tonight, put
could give no arguments IN It's penal1
which would stand. He merely reiterated
that the Grand Jury did not probe enough,
but when asked how the commission would
be enabled to probe deeper or better, SAID,
eve can advise them to do So" lie was
asked if he could not give the same advice
to the Grand Jury. 1t is suggested tonight
that some who are so anxious for investlga-
ton might be given little investigation
State commission as inquisitors for San
Francisco, the Grand Jury of that city
might investigate the publication commit
tee and begin with II. E. Highton.
There is one thing which has given the
advocates of the bill a little advantage,
and that is the lack of concerted action
and leadership on the part of the Repub-
licans. There are two or three weak
kneed Republicans who have fallen before
the proposition to SO amend the bill that
the Governor shall appoint one Commits
sioner, the President of the Senate Sec
ond and the Speaker of the House the
third but this will meet with little favor,
and there is no chance of the bill becom-
ing law.
San Francisco can attend to her own
affairs is the slogan of the San Francisco
delegation, and to this there are but two
dissenting voices in that delegation.

business methods is invaluable to an lnstltu-
ton OF this kind, yet under the existing cir
cumstanees, we seriously doubt the advisable
ity OF allowing him to remain in full possession
and control OF the duties and the RESPONSE
ollltles now entrusted to him. AS we regard
THIS matter entirely in the hands OF
tne board of directors we refrain from
further comment in this direction. Yet, IN
view of the practically unlimited evidence
OF Inharmony now existing from the
head TO the foot of this institution, we do rec
ommend that all of the members of the present
board OF directors be removed and new board
appointed. We also recommend that the re-
quest OF the board of directors to buy more
land adjacent to the present location be not
granted, and that no more buildings be
erected on the present SITE
John T. Irish, president of said board, &C
knoWledged to us that the ACCESSIBILITY OF
granting such request was questionable. He
also acknowledged to us that he made wrong
statement In the public press concerning the
length of time we were visiting and investi-
eating this institution and he offered to make
public acknowledgment to that effect. We
were on the premises three and half hours,
and have not been dilatory in our search for
truth from that day to this
we further recommend that the State OF Cali
lorna purchase a suitable tract OF land outside
the limits OF any city or town where land can
be had cheap, where transportation facilities
are good, where the location will be healthful,
pleasant and convenient for the transaction OF
business.
The report advised that the property of
the home, which is worth from SIS, 900 to
100000, be sold and the money applied to
the purchase of a new home 1t concludes:
No selfish or personal interests have been
considered in this report. We are convinced
that II the entire Legislature should make the
same thorough investigation of this institution
and its management that we have made they
would have reached practically the same
conclusions.

proposing to submit the right OF women to
vote to the people of the State is the spe-
cial order for tomorrow morning. This
will carry without doubt, as only a few
Republicans will dare to oppose it. A
number of Democrats will vote for it, and
Bachman of Fresno, one of the most elo-
quent and logical opponents of the suffrage
bill on the floor to-day, viii urge its pass
age.
The new rules of the House put special
orders first. The second and third read
ings OF bills also precede unfinished bust
ness The special file is well filed and
bills are accommodating, Sc that it may not
be till the close of the session that the bill
discussed to-day will again come up. The
women handling it are satisfied that they
can count on enough strength to carry the
House whenever the time does come.
The ladies who have been working among
the legislators for the past week were all
there. Mrs. Judge Spencer sat near her

labored in entire harmony.
Bachman of Fresno announced that he
was bound by no platform, as were the Re-
publicans. Judge Spencer's remarks to
the young men about the future. he said,

his youth, when a colonist preacher tried
to scare him into heaven by dangling him

gan proceedings in the State Circuit Court
to-day against s. Prayer, S. Jacoby and A.
s. Ash, comprising the firm of Jacoby, Ash
& Co., to recover $500 on assigned claims
of number of San Francisco houses
Jacoby, Ash & Co. are Tacoma firm, who
succeeded Prayer Bros. AT the time
of the recent failure of the Farmers

Jacoby, Ash & Co. also failed, and chat
tel mortgage was given to N. S. Jacoby,
father-in-law of Sidney Prayer, one of the
firm, for 600.
The suit here against the firm of Jacoby,
Ash & Co. appears to be an effort to make
Prayer Bros. and Jacoby, Ash & Co.
identical concerns and to find as

the sos, 900 deed of trust to NJ. S. Jacoby

ABOLISH THE RAILROAD COMMISSION

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-Every Senator has
been polled on the proposition to abolish
the Railroad Commission. The result is !:
In favor of abolition Is, against abolition 5,
undecided 20. Those who were absent yes
terday were polled to-day. Those in favor
of abolition are: Buggy, Gesford, Math-
ews, Pedlar with a reservation) and
Whitehurst. Against: Ford. Undecided:
Arms, Rose, Bert, Burke, Shippee and
Toner.
Senators Arms and Androus declared
that they had not considered the matter
yet. Senator Bert wanted to examine the
proposed amendment befo.e giving his
opinion. Senator Buggy is pledged to the
Traffic Association to vote to abolish the
Railroad Commission, and will keep his
pledge. He declares that he doubts the
wisdom of making the Legislature deal
with freights and fares.
eff the commission will do no better in
the future than in the past say abolish it.

An effort to have the same stipulation
for the Thirty sixth District is being made.
1t is thought that Registrar Hinton may
object to this, as it involves the counting
of 5000 votes. In this event writ of man
date may be got out to bring the Registrar
before the Superior Court or he may be
brought before the bar of the Assembly.

Waymire of Alameda was in favor of the
bill. He argued that there could be nc
doubt as to the fact that the enfranchising
of women was not forbidden by law. He
urged the voting down of Reds amend
ment and was warmly applauded as he
took his seat.
Hall of Placer read a set speech, in
which he expressed warm sympathy in the
movement to give women the right to vote
Spencer and Cutter spoke briefly in
answer to their opponents.
Timothy Guy Phelps of San Mateo took
the floor. 81 shall vote against Reds
amendment" he said, "and for the bill
because think it is right. Mr.. Spencer:
argument I consider unanswerable. If the
Supreme Court should decide against it nc
great harm would be done. 1 shall also
vote for the constitutional amendment
not because think there is doubt about
the right of women to vote, but to prevent
any future Legislature from taking this
right away from them"
Several Assemblymen were clamorine
for hearing at this juneture, but it was

This was done. AS the clerk read the
members began to leave the chambers
The motion to adjourn went with shout

This ended the first skirmish.
The woman suffrage question is to-night
the liveliest issue before the State Legisla
ture, and tomorrow the struggle is sure tt
be resumed. Tonight the Assembly
chamber was given over to the champion:
of woman's cause, and there Mrs. Nellie
Holbrook Blinn, and Mrs. General Bid
well of Chico addressed an audience Of
fully thousand men and women. Many
| members of the Legislature were close lis
teners. In the audience women were il
the great majority, however, and theil
hearty applause of the speakers strong
words went a long way to disprove the as
sertions that had been made on that same
floor during the afternoon by Assembly
men who protested to believe that the
women did not ask for the right of suf
frage.
Tonight Assemblyman Reid of Trinity
and Shasta counties, who, with Cutter O.
