on his neck and therefore could not attend
to his duties. but he was on the payroll.
There are other absentees which the COM
mittee could check if it really wished to
do SO.
In addition to the statutory officers
some attaches are needed in the Senate,
but why should the Committee on Re-
trenchment and Public Expenditures need
messenger? Couldn't it attend to cutting
down the expenses of the Legislature
without employing a woman as messen-
ger?
What does the Senate need of eight
watchmen, except that they are found
places to be supported by the State? 1t is
an easy way, this, to pay Senatorial debts
and obligations. The State pays it. Even
if every committee needed clerk, what
would prevent that clerk from attending
to his duties? Why appoint sergeants- at
arms and messengers to do the work which
is not sufficient to keep clerk busy :?
Every committee in the Senate has its
clerk. Then there are stenographers en-
ployed. Some committees meet once or
twice during the session of the Legislature.
Why should the San Francisco delegation
pC PSi'hiSeSo w wal Viz OeobS W. q
clerk?
What is the need of a sergeant-at-arms
to the Committee on Education and Pub
lie Morals? Is the messenger to the Com
mittee on Agriculture needed? The Com
mittees on Agriculture, Banks, Corpora
tions, Counties and County Boundaries,
Retrenchment, Elections, Public Swamp
and OverHowed Lands, Education, Military
Affairs, Claims, Public Buildings, Yosemite
Valley, Irrigation, Roads, Mines, Consti-
tutional Amendments, all have sergeants-
alarms or messengers, and in nearly every
instance both. Some of these committees
which meet twice during the session have
clerk. a sergeant-at-arms and messen-
ger, all drawing pay during the session of
the Legislature.
They manage better in Colorado. No
clerks are appointed at the session of the
Legislature in Denver until needed. When
there is no more work to do they are dis
missed. Such thing as a clerk for every
committee is unheard of there, and yet the
Colorado Legislature is considered one of
the most liberal in the country.
The gross extravaganza of the Legis-
lature, which is making an unsavory name
for itself and party capital for the Demo
cratic Governor, is shown in the tables OF
employees, with their duties and salaries,
which is given on this page:

ON A KITE-SHAPED TRACK
FAST RACE OF SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, IN ExTRAvAGANCE

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.-Retrenchment at
| Sacramento is a farce. The Legislators have
no intention of retrenching and never did
have. Senate and Assembly are rivals on
the kite-shaped track of extravaganza
This Legislature is making its own history,
| but at the same time with an immense Re-
publican majority in each house it is pre-
pairing campaign bombs which the Demo-
Gratis will use with great effect at the next
election.
Senator McAllister (D.) is authority for
the statement that the present Legislature
has been more extravagant in the matter
of attaches than any which ever sat in
Sacramento. The Assembly made bluff
at reducing the number, but did not do so.
The Senate appointed a committee to con-
slider the subject, but never got SO far as
the bluff.
These are the statutory officers of the
Senate: S. G. Millard, president of the
Senate; Thomas Flint Jr., president pro
tenn. of the Senate F. ]. Brandon, secretary
of the Senate; Leslie F. Blackburn, SER
geant-at-arms; E. ]. Ensign, assistant sec
retary; r. Shaw, assistant secretary; E. F.
Mitchell, minute clerk; Theodore A. Simp-
son, journal clerk; G. r. Mayhem, engross-
ing clerk; J. H. DUNCAN, enrolling clerk;
John j. O'Connor, assistant sergeant-at-
arms; Miss Kittie McHugh, postmistress;
Mrs. Annie L. Blanchard, assistant post
mistress; Andrew Walton, porter; H. B.
Brown, porter; A. Grubbs, porter; B. An
drous, page; Charles Orr, page; George
Berger, page.
The law provides for this number. The
statutory officers in the Assembly are
about the same in number.
Elsewhere will be shown the vast army
of employees attached to either house who
are drawing salaries at the expense of the
| State. In the Assembly there is chief
clerk and seven assistants and a page.
Three assistants could do the work. The
minute clerk has three assistants One is
enough. One assistant and messenger
would suffice for the journal clerk. He
| has four. One assistant and a messenger
would be enough for the enrolling clerk.
There are three. Eight assistants are given
the engrossing clerks, which is greatly
above the number needed. Where six por-
| ters would be enough the Assembly has
nine, and where eight pages should be suf-
| tcient there are nine Six watchmen
could attend to the work The Assembly
employs ten. There are four bill clerks
| and three assistant file clerks who are abb
| solutely unnecessary. There are several
| committees which cannot get along with
out clerks, notably those of Ways and
| Means and Judiciary.

THE AZUSA BANK BURGLARY
A CONSTABLE SHOT CASHIER
DANIELS INSTEAD OF THE
ROBBER.
OFFICERS WILL TAKE THE CAPTIVE
BURGLAR TO Los ANGELES
JAIL.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 19.-It was Consta-
bic of the little town of AZusa who shot
and wounded Cashier Charles Daniels of
the Azusa Bank last midnight, while the
latter was firing at the robber who had
jumped from the bank window when Dan
iels and the bookkeeper attacked him. The
Constable was evidently excited when he
saw the flash of Daniels pistol in the win
dow, he nistook him for the robber and
fired, hitting him and seriously wounding
him.
Daniels to-day told the following story of
the affray:
Last night Cashier Daniels and Book
keeper Anderson were sleeping in rear
room of the bank. AT 1915 O'Clock they
heard chair move. They ran out into
the Darkroom, Daniels with shotgun
and Anderson with. a revolver and dark
lantern. The robber jumped out the win
dow and ran. Daniels fired at him. The
shot was returned, striking him in the left
shoulder 1t ranged down and lodged
under the shoulder-blade.
At the time Daniels fired the shot Dep
uty Constable Thomas Stevens was passing
the bank, and supposing that the robber
had fired from the window, Stevens opened
fire in the direction of the window. Con-
stable Crawford ran up at this time and
gave chase to the robber, capturing him.
The robber gave his name as Ellsworth
Meyers. He came to Azusa last December
from Colorado. He has been hanging
around there ever since.
He has a wife there from whom he parted
three years ago. He claims he did not fire a
shot, and the revolver he had was found
with one empty shell, which appears to be
an old one not recently fired. Meyers was
locked up. Excitement runs high on ac-
count of the attempted robbery and the
careless shooting by Deputy Constable
Stevens. Daniels is reported to be in a
precarious condition. Meyers says he had
no accomplices, but this is is not believed.
Detective Insley has gone to Azusa to
bring the prisoner to this city.
There have been several previous at
tempts to rob the bank. The bank was
entered week ago last Friday light and
an attempt was made to open the safe,
which failed. The robber took a satchel
lying on the counter containing money to
pay to the Azusa Valley Fruit Associa-
tion, which was left in the bank by Presi-
dent w. R. Powell, who is also secretary
of the fruit association. At the time of
first entrance Bookkeeper Anderson was
sleeping in the rear room and heard the
robber, but he had no revolver and did not
come out. The robber entered the bank
again Saturday night but secured nothing.
The morning call., 1895-02-20
and the other employees s44, 100, a total OF

$50 040.
Here are some interesting figures of the
attaches employed and the expenditures
therefor of the Senate during the heaviest
week for series of sessions:
In 1881 in the third week there were en-
ployed 80 attaches not on the statutory
list, and the cost for the heaviest week was
SIPS; in 1888 there were 40 additional at
taches, at S1527 for the highest week; in
1885, 45 additional attaches at $1S67; in
1887, y additional attaches at $2523; in
1889 there were SO additional attaches at
$3513; in 1891 there were GA additional at
taches at $2261; in 1893 there were SO addi-
tional attaches at $3331, and in 1895 there
are IA additional attaches at $5145 for the
heaviest week so far of the session.
Could Boss Buckley, if he controlled the
Senate, have made a more startling show
ing? There are forty Senators and there
are more than three additional attaches
for each Senator. The Senate, with half
as many members as the Assembly, has
fifteen more additional attaches, and the
cost for the highest week was $5145, as
against $4734 III the Assembly.
The figures speak for themselves, but
the deductions of the committee are some-
thing novel in their way. The committee
finds that the increase of the figures is out
of ali proportion to the increase of work,
but the fault rests with no one, it is en-
tirely impersonal
The committee characteriZes the cost as
due 10 cumbersome and unbusinesslike
methods. The committee finds that the
attaches have done good work. Does it
dare to itemize what the IA attaches have
been called upon to do? Win it state who
caused each of the attaches to be appointed
and why?
The committee concluded its labors by
declaring the number of employees really
needed to be: Secretary of Senate and three
assistants; minute clerk and two assist
ants; a journal clerk and one assistant
an engrossing clerk with no assistants till
toward the close of the session, when he
shall have three; an enrolling clerk with
one assistant at the beginning of the ses-
sion and three toward the close.
The usher is declared to be new en-
| ploye The Office was created last session.
It's duties are not defined. The custom of
giving clerk to the San Francisco delega-
| ton is declared unwise. The committee

DENVER, Feb. 19.-The State Senate in
executive session to-day confirmed the ap-
pointments by Governor Mcintyre of
Frank Church, A. w. Hogle and Charles
L. Wilson as members of the Denver Fire
and Police Board and Edward Monash as
member of the Board of Public Works
to succeed the appointees of Governor
Waite, whose terms would not expire until
April, but whose appointments have never
been confirmed.
Although there may be legal contest
over the possession of the offices between
the old and new boards there will be no
repetition of the disgraceful scenes that at
tended the removal of the members of the
Fire and Police Board by Governor Waite
a year ago. President Mullins of the old
board said this afternoon:
1--WE Will retain this office until the
courts decide who are entitled to it. We
claim our term of Office does not expire
until the second Tuesday in April, and in
tend to remain here until then unless the
courts decide otherwise
Chief Armstrong when interviewed said
81 shall recognize the old board until the
courts decide who are entitled to the Of
fice''
(which board will you recognize in the
event of both boards giving you orders2''
81 will recognize neither board in any
unlawful act. l will have nothing to do
with repetition of last years affair at the
City Hall"
Chief Armstrong ordered the removal OF
two officers who had been detailed in his
absence to guard the boards Office.
