particular line of business has been ex-
ceedingly dull, and manufacturers look
upon it as in the nature of sign Of re-
vival in business throughout the whole
country.
Several members of the Pacific Stock
Exchange subscribed to the capital stock
of the road yesterday, and it is expected
that substantial amount will be secured
when all the members have been heard
from.
Some criticism was INDUCED in yester-
day among projectors of the new line re-
garding the position of Stockton in the
matter of subscriptions to stock, and a
comparison with the attitude of San Jose
was made which was not at all favoroble
to the former. Stockton plainly states
that her subscription to stock is contingent
upon the main line passing through that
city, while San Jose says either the main
line or branch will be acceptable there.

II shall sign the bill" repeated the Gov
ernor, "but shall not do so immediately.
When satisfactory lease has been pre-
pared and has been approved by the Board
of Harbor Comissioners, of which Mayor
Sutro and are members, tnen 1 will sign
the bill"
The Governor continued:
81 am not going to sign any bill which
would give away the water front of San
Francisco to any corporation That is not
the purpose of this bill. If the lease is
prepared specifying the mudfats in China
Basin and no other State property shall
sign the bill. The lease must contain all
the safeguards necessary. 1t must state
specifically just what is wanted. 1t must
provide every safeguard that is needed.
But it is idle to discuss this feature.
The valley road does not want to grab the
water front of San Francisco. All that it
asks is to lease terminal facilities. The
directors of the valley road are perfectly
satisfied with the lease proposed, SO there
will be no trouble and I shall sign the

A VERY BOLD STRATAGEM
The Officer Prevents the ES-

Quick Action.
OUTWITTING OF ATTORNEYS
A Writ of Habeas Corpus Secures
Freedom to a Prisoner for Only
a Brief Time.

FRESNO, Cal, March 15.-Charles Hen
derson was forcibly taken from the Court
house here to-day by Deputy Sheriff Sears
of Oregon, who had been sent down to get
Henderson, who Is wanted in Oregon for
larceny.
Henderson has been in this city for some
time, and when his whereabouts became
known Governor Budd issued warrant
for his arrest on the requisition of the Gov
ernor of Oregon. The man was arrested
here two days ago, and he Immediately
swore out an application for writ of
habeas corpus. He was taken before Judge
Z. W. RisleY of the Superior Court, who
continued his case until to-day in order
that the necessary papers might come from
Governor Budd.
This afternoon Hendeson was again taken
into court, and after a long argument by
his attorneys his release was granted on a
technicality. Hendeson left the courtroom,
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Sears
When they reached the place where Sears
buggy was standing the Deputy Sheriff
seized Hendeson, hurriedly forced him into
the vehicle and drove madly off. Hende-
sons attorneys quickly swore out an ap-
piication for another writ of habeas corpus,
but 1t was impossible to serve it, as the
Oregon officer had escaped with his
prisoner

TO REWARD HONESTY.

THOSE WHO STOOD BY THE VALLEY
ROAD TO BE COMMENDED.
Apropositien has been set on foot lv
Mr.. William Fahey of.this city looking to
grand reception of the representatives in
the Legislature who stood with the people
in the recent vote on the bill giving to the
State a competing line OF railroad through
the San Joaquin Valley.
The idea Is to appoint committees, which
are to formulate a plan to demonstrate
public approval of faithful services from
public servants.
81 believe said Mr.. Fahey, "that this
matter should be taken up right now, and
that the people should show their appreci-
alton of these men whom they sent to the
Legislature to do them honest service.
'ln this case the city and the State have
received great benefit through a verv
small majority. When that majority ar
rlves at the ferry-landing of this city be-
lieve they should be welcomed with great
acclaim. Metropolitan Hall or some other
place should be hired ana speakers invited
to proclaim the sentiments of the people
in regard to the men vino stood by them in
the hour of trial.
"The committees should all be at the
ferry landing to meet the statesmen as
they come off the boat, and march with
them through the streets with banners
and transparencies. The names of the
representatives should be displayed in a
most prominent manner"

SPOKANE, Wash, March 15.-Eugene
Debs, president OF the American Railway
Union, lectured tonight before big au-
dience at the Auditorium. He declared
his conviction that strikes could only re-
suit in failure, and that henceforth the
union will work along political lines.
There can be no permanent or satisfac-
tory solution of this railroad question" he
said, until the Government takes posses
sion of the railroads and runs them in the
interest OF the people. Our recent expert
ences have demonstrated that defeat is in
evitable. Just as soon as strikU is inaugu-
rated disturbances will occurr. Courts will
be applied to, injunctions and mandamuses
viii be issued, and the leaders will be ar
rested and thrown into jail. Then the
strike will be easily broken. tell you a
strike cannot succeed when it is against
the United States Government"
"What is your private income?" was
asked.

home, that is all"
Mr.. Debs will leave for Seattle over the
Great Northern at o'clock in the morn
ing. He viii visit Tacoma and Portland
and go through to California.

BUREAU OF HIGHWAYS.
THE BILL PASSES AND Now GOES
TO THE GOVERNOR.

IHE BILL PASSES AND Now GOES
TO THE GOVERNOR.
SACRAMENTO, March 15-Quite a fight
was made in the Assembly to-day against
the bill authorizing the appointment of a
Bureau of Highways consisting of three
members at $4,000 year. This commits
sion is empowered to gather statistics as to
the condition of the roads in each county
and to advise with the various Boards of
Supervisors as to the best methods to be
employed in roadmaking. They are also
to superintend the distribution of the
powdered trap rock for roads from Folsom.
They are, of course, empowered to employ
clerks, and altogether $31, 900 is appropri.
ated for their use in the next two years.
The commission is necessary one. It
is the direct result of the good roads con-
vention, and the provisions of the bill
were decided upon after long discussion,
as the members of the committee realized
that commissions were in di sfavor.
Bledsoe, Belshaw, DR.. Glass and Spencer
opposed the bill on the ground of economy,
while the friends of the measure urged that
it would be economy to pass it, and the
bill was sent to the Governor by vote of
46 to 23

SAN RAFAEL'S LITTLE HERO.
A SIX-YEAR-OLD Boy WARNS A
TRAIN OF IMPENDING
DANGER.
SIGNALS THE ENGINEER AT NIGHT
WITH A RED LAM
TERN.

SAN RAFAEL, March 15.-Joseph REILLY,
aged years, is San Rafael's little hero,
and he earned the title last night by
warning freight-train of danger.
AS the San Francisco and North Pacific
Coast freight-train, consisting of forty cars.
was coming on the down grade, near the
trestle bridge, about 100 yards from the
depot last night at $50, the engineer saw
red light ahead of him on the trestle and
managed to stop the train within twenty
yards of the signal. He was informed by
little Joseph Reilly that there was buggy
turned upward on the trestle and that the
driver, a. B. Moretti, and the horse were
in the creek. The horse and driver were
rescued unhurt. Little Joe was in bed
when he heard the clatter OF hoofs on
the trestle and knowing that the sound
was unusual he sprang out of bed, lit the
lantern and ran to warn the approaching
train. The horse had become unmana-
geable and had run away, finally getting
on the trestle, and there wrecking the
buggy.

he was in Sacramento for ''the stuff" and
that If the insurance companies wanted
bills passed or bills defeated they must
pay.
Dunn swore that this statement was
false, too.
The committee took narrow view OF its
powers, and technical view as to evi-
dence. The attorneys sought to intro
duce other evidence, but it was ruled out
on technicalities, and the investigation
was confined to the charge made by Biggy,
and this charge was limited in its applica-
tion to Dunn. The attorneys were fortified
with other evidence, which under this
construction could not be admitted.
There is more trouble in store for the
Senate. 1t must either investigate now
and make thorough investigation or else
retire besmirched. There is evidence of
combine. Does the Senate want it made
known2 If so it can appoint committee
to sit after adjournment to take the evil
dence.
Attorney Nougues pointed out to the
committee that it could sit after the Legis-
lature adjourned. The committee was not
disposed to take this view of it, though
justified by Congressional precedent.
Here is fact which may cause change
of heart:
If the committee will sit after the
session, or if the Senate will empower
committee to do so, then a number of
business men of the city of San Fran
cisco will come before that committee
and testify that they have been approached
by legislators for money to influence hgis-
lation. These men do not care to appear
before committee with the Legislature in
session at the same time and their busi-
ness in jeopardy through bills which are
before that Legislature. If the Legislature
adjourns now, with these facts known.
without empowering a committee to make
an investigation it goes out of existence
blackened.
The testimony of Kahn would not have
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-16

been admitted tonight if Attorney Foote
had not skillfully so stated the fact that it
was almost forced on the committee in
spite of its rule to follow procedure in
courts of justice.
The Legislature talked of Lexowing San
Francisco. What does it think of Lexow-
ing itself?
The committees verdict, which may be
''Not proven.' will be returned to the
Senate tomorrow.
Senator Simpson, chairman OF the In
vestigating Committee, read the statement
made by Senator Biggy, which led to the
investigation, when the committee met
tonight. The Judiciary Committee room
was thronged with a crowd of the curious.
Attorneys w. w. Foote, Joseph Nougues,
julius Kahn and J. ]. Dwyer appeared for
Senator Biggy, and Congressman Grove L..
Johnson announced that he had been en-
gagged to defend Senator Dunn. II. M.
La Rue, chairman of the Grand Jury of
Sacramento County was an interested lis
tener during the proceedings.
Attorney Foote asked if any course of
proceedings had been mapped out. Chair
man Simpson answered that the rules OBJ
served in courts of justice would be fol-
lowed. The brief time allowed only the
hearing of the charge against Senator
Dunn.
"Are you sitting as a judicial body and
not as an investigating committee?" asked
Attorney Foote.
''No, sir' Senator Simpson declared.
and then said that Senator Biggy should
make out his case first, but that the COM
mittee would hear other evidence than
Biggy's statement.
Attorney Foote asked if the charge
would be confined and restricted to its
application to Senator Dunn.
In reply to question as to whether the

THE UNKNoWN DEAD At VALLEJo
Body of a Ldborer Found Floating Near
Mare Island.

VALLEJO, March 15.-As Quinton
Kane, boatman, was rowing past the
magazine wharf at the navy-yard this
afternoon he saw pair of hands protrud-
ing from the water, and on investigation
found the body of man. He made fast
to the body and towed it to the wharf
where he tied it, and sent for Coroner
Trull, who went to the yard and brought
the body to this side. where the inquest
was held tonight.
The body is evidently that of long
shoreman, who was about As years of age,
5 feet inches in height and weighing 200
pounds. The body was dressed in blue
overalls and jumper. In the pockets of
the clothing an empty snuff-box. white
handled jack-knife, purse containing five
cents and small key for a satchel were
found.
The remains were not identified and will
be buried tomorrow afternoon, unless
word is received by Coroner Trull to hold
the body for Identification. No scars or
marks of any description were on the body.

Attorney Nougues declared that the
committee had authority under the code.
There was a little more preliminary
sparring. Foote did not want the in
vestigation confined to the charge against
Dunn. He was READY to go on with the
case. Attorney Nougues cited pre-
cedents to show that this committee

duced for that purpose. eve are pre-
pared to go on as far as you are prepared

Senator Smith of the committee declared
that the scope of the investigation evil
IDENTIFY was greater than he had anticipated.
He favored reporting back to the Senate
at once for further power.
Foote objected to this. Senator Biggy
was ready to go on the stand and sub
stantiate the statement under oath.
"The attorney for Mr.. Biggy blows hot
and blows cold," said Johnson. "He pro-
poses to have an investigation that will
last all summer and then objects. 1t is
evidently not the intention to investigate
Mr.. Dunn, but to throw mud on the
Senate:'
Senator Biggy, after being sworn, said
that Senator Dunn proposed to him to sell
his vote. The first time was in the county
committee-room, on Sutter street, about a

rest assured that he will do as he has
promised. Everything is moving along
nicely and we apparently have clear sailing
before u.s."
Engineer Storey finds that the work of
attending to the numerous applications
for work which have flooded the Office of
Mr.. Spreckels for weeks past has in large
measure been shifted to his shoulders. 1t
might be we'll to state in this connection
that Mr. Storey has all the men he re-
quires, and that applications of this char
acter are useless.
1t is stated that the first shipment of
rails for the new road will leave New York

favorable weather is encountered. This
probable order of 10000 tons of rails has
had marked effect in the East, where this
