IN THE SENATE
A Large Batch of Bills Pour ina BIedsoe
rlcasure

Sacramento, Feb 19.-Bledsoe' S logging
camp bill passed by the Assembly made
trouble when it came before the Senate
for the second reading. 1t makes ten
hours a days work in the sawmills,
shingle mills and logging camps.
Seawall championed the passage of the
brll, but half dozen amendments were
fired against it with the evident intention
of killing it,
Gleaves proposed that the hours of labor
be changed from ten to eight and Ford
asked to amend so the regulation would
apply to employees of all corporations.
The amendments provoked a long de-
bate in which all the meits and demerits
of the proposed measure were thoroughly
reviewed. 1t was finally agreed to take
the matter up again at p. m. tomorrow.
The Governors appointment of E. l..
Colnon, harbor commissioner, was con
firmed.
Bills were passed giving the city of Eu-
reka police court; authorizing the State
Treasurer to employ bookkeeper
throughout the entire year; providing
for contingent expenses of the Senate; au-
thorizing the State Treasurer to pay to

TALKS BACK
The Railroad Commission Replies to the
Legislature

San Francisco Feb. 19.-The Railroad
Commission mailed a reply to the state
Assembly last night. 1t is in the shape
of report on an inquiry, held by re-
quest of the lower house of the Legisl
ture, in reference to the transportation of
green fruits and vegetables, and the vari-
Gus devices and methods in use for the
purpose of preserving and transporting
such products to the Eastern markets
The report quotes the resolution under
which it acted, mentions the communica-
tion from Vice President Stubbs to w. H.
Mills read at Mondays session of the
board, summarizes the statement of Cot
tier of the American Ventilator Com
pany, of William Graves, who explained
his tub device, an address delivered by f.
F. Adams, ex-manager of the California
Fruit Exchange.
The report sums up its inquiry as fol-
! lows:
We cannot suggest or recommend the
adoption of any device until it has been
tried and its efficiency fully demon
stratcd.
The railroad company so far, has not
adopted any particular device, for the
reason that practical demonstration has
not been made to it's satisfaction of the
efficiency of any method which would
lessen the weight of the cars and dimin-
ish the cost of transportation.
The railroad company signified its will
ingness to assist any perscn who could
improve upon the present cumbersome
and expensive mode OF shipping fruit in
refrigerato cars 1t has expended consd-
erable money experimenting and is will
ing to continue to do so. 1t disclaims
owning any interest in these refrigerator
cars and is anxious to discontinue their
use, on account of their great weight and
expense of hauling, as soon as something
better can be obtained
If the Legislature would adopt some
means. either by offering a prize or pre-
MUM for competition for the purpose of
securing and obtaining some device or
some means of transportation of fruit
which would practically overcome these
objections and oblige the railroad COM
pany to own these cars and operate them,
it would go far toward adjusting the diff
Guilty by greatly reducing the cost of
transportation below the present rates,
and afford shippers ti.s necessary relief
and allow them fair compensation for
their products.
1t is the purpose of this commission to
investigate this subject further during its
term of office.
Realizing the great Importance of this
question, we think that this investigation
and inquiry should be extended, and that
the Legislature should provide means to

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
Wade Will Amend His Bill to Meet Som,
Objections

Sacramento, Feb. 19.-At a Joint meet
ing of the Senate and Assembly Commit
tees on Constitutional Amendments to-
night the Wade BILL providing for new
method for publishing constitutional
amendments was considered Several
newspaper managers were present to pro-
test against the proposed bill, which does
away with advertising amendments in
newspapers. The plan OF the bill is
to have copies of the proposed amend
ments sent from the state printing office
to all boards of supervisors and county
clerks and to authorize those officials to
circulate the amendments in the county
election proclamation and by sending
copies to each registered voter, much in
the same manner as sample ballots are
now distributed. The plan, it was
pointed out would be inadequate,
and it was suggested that a more
satisfactory method would be to
authorize publication of amendments in
two newspapers of each county once
week for six weeks prior to election.
Wade agreed to add this to his plan pro-
viding the slip distribution to registered
voters were also retained. The whole
matter was finally returned to sub
committee consisting of Senator Earl and
Assemblymen Bachman and Wade to draft
a new bill embodying the above sugges-
tions.

Special to the HERALD.

opec1ai TO tne HERALD.
Sacramento, CAL, Feb. ~. The passage
of the woman's suffrage bill by 45 to %
was the event of the day. The women
themselves did not expect such hand
some vote, and they now expect to get the
bill through the Senate without difficulty.
All of the Los Angeles members voted for
the bill Pendleton voted no, but subse-
quently changed to aye.
In the Senate the prospects of the
passage of the bill are good. Many Sena-
tors say that while the constitutionality
of the measure is questionable, they are
willing to let the matter be tested in the
courts. There was no excitement when
the bill passed, and not near so many
ladies were present as on the occasion
when the bill was debated. Efforts were
made to impede the vote by motions to
adjourn and raising points of order, but
as the Assembly was overwhelmingly for
the bill all motions to impede its progress
were promptly voted down. When the
roll call began everybody kept tally.
Almost all who voted no said they desired
to explain their vote, which they will do
tomorrow. There was little handclapping
when the result of the vote was an
nounced.
kilograms in papers that Mlllard has had
a stroke of paralysis, have caused much
comment today, especially as Budd is
suffering from rheumatism The report
was generally discredited and kilograms
were sent to Indio, asking how Millard
really is. Letters. received from him to-
day all say he is getting better.
No more bitter contest has appeared in
the Legislature than the fight on the Sey-
mour bill on the Correction and Charities
committee, which comes up Thursday.
Friends of the bill claim q votes for it,
but the opponents feel confident it will be
beaten. Great pressure, however, is being
brought to pass it if possible by those who
expect to get fat jobs under the commits
ssiOnerS.

MINISTER'S IN COUNCIL
Novel and Extraordinary Views Expressed
IN Milwaukee

Milwaukee, Feb. 19.-At the Method dist
Ministers Association meeting one or
two members gave expression to some ex-
ceedingly novel and extraordinary views
regarding communion service. The Rev.
e. D. Huntly of Summerheld church
caused little stir by advocating the use
of patent wine soaked wafer in place of
the chalice. He said this could be manu-
factured at a very small cost. The dis
cussion was caused by a paper read by
the Rev. Iwert, who advocated the use of
two cups, one for the women and one for
the men. This idea was not popular
The Rev. DR.. Eaton, of charity ball no
toriety, thought there was more danger
OF microbes being carried by the cup than
there was in kissing. The Rev. W. ].
Patton objected to the movement for the
individual cup being called fad, and
said that his congregation favored it. 1t
was finally agreed that the Rev. DR..
Huntley's patent wafer scheme was a
good one.

Senator White Talks of The
Herald's Memorial
MUCH GOOD WILL RESULT
Quick Action Of the People in Speaking
for San Pedro
The Commerce Committee Will Visit the
Coast After the Close of the
Present Session of Congress
Special to THE HEKALD


Washington, Feb 19.-The Herald S
memorial on the advisability of locating
the proposed deep sea harbor at San Pc
dro has had marked effect on the men,
bers of the Committee on Commerce hav-
ing the matter in charge and on members
of the Senate and House generally. While
there are certain members of the Com
merce Committee who for reasons of their
own will stick to Santa Monica in the face
of all arguments, the majority of the com
mittee is only anxious to do what is best
for Southern California and the country.
The short, terse speech of Senator
White, in which he explained that both of
the California Senators and the Repre-
sentative of the district, two boards of
engineers and 20, 900 citizens had all de-
clared their preference for San Pedro,
made a strong impression.
Speaking of the matter today, Senator
White said:
'The memorial so speedily procured by
means of the enterprise of The Herald
has attracted much attention. 1t is a
complete answer to the few who have
affected to doubt that the sentiment of
those who are in position to know the
facts, was favorable to San Pedro; how
ever, as / have had occasion frequently to
observe, Congress never enters into any
new and important river and harbor work
at short session. Moreover, the River
and Harbor and Commerce Committees
will not make any recommendation.
81 hope to induce the holdover mem
bers of the Commerce Committee to visit
California during the recess, and 1 be-
lieve good will result from this trip, not
only to Los Angeles, but to the Pacific
Coast generally. Senator Perkins and I
anticipate the passage of San Pedro bill
next session. 1t should always be. recol-
lected that there was much effective work
done here against San Pedro prior to the
organization of this Congress, nor has
the contest by any means closed.
MANY were prejudiced years ago against
San Pedro by misrepresentation very
artfully made. These erroneous notions
are, we believe, gradually being eradi-
Gated. 1t is most satisfactory to be
backed by such a powerful memorial as
that which presented yesterday"
"Holdover members of the Committee
on Commerce referred to are Vest, Cor
man, Murphy, Frye, Jones of Nevada,
Dolph, Cullom, Quay and White himself.
Frye will probably be its chairman in the
next Congress, as he now heads the Re-
publican list, and he is an avowed Santa
Monica man. The committee has been
memorialized to visit Southern California
after the adjournment of Congress- to in
spect both harbors, and all the members
have expressed hopes of being able to do
so. Some may, however be prevented by
private business, while an extra session
of Congress would endanger the whole
plan.
