BOLD HINTS At BRIBERY
A Senator Says He Was Offered
A Sack of Coin
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES
The Railroad Said to be Behind the Man
With the Sack
Tho Police Courtships In Los Angeles
Discussed-Other Bills That
Mean Something

Sacramento, March 12.-The first sensa-
ton occurred yesterday in the Senate.
The bill under discussion was measure
which would have practically killed the
Sutro street car line in San Francisco to
the Cliff House.
Under the law as it now stands, if a
railroad company lowers the fare on its
line it cannot raise it. This bill prac-
tically repealed that law.
Senator Biggy, in the course OF the de-
bate on the measure, said that when he
first came to the Legislature he had been
offered $1,000 to stand in with combina-
tion and vote for certain railroad bills.
This year he had been offered by Sem
ator $4,000 to do the same thing, and he
proceeded to name the bills the combina-
tion was to pass.
Senator Arms attacked Biggy very Bit
terly for his charges and in the evening
session introduced resolution to appoint
committee of five to investigate the
charges.
Biggy accepted the suggestion and it
was carried. The name of the Senator re-
ferred to by Biggy is freely whispered
around the corridors as Senator Dunn but
no one knows why his name should be
used or if there Is the slightest reason for
connecting him with the charge, as he is
one of the most quiet of all the Senators.
Senator Mathews has received a tele-
gram signed by City Clerk Lukenbach ask
ing the Los Angeles delegation to vote
against the bill providing for two clerks
for the police court of Los Angeles at a
salary of $125 per month and they are re-
quested to endeavor to have the employees
of said courts to remain as at present.
No one here is able to understand what
the City Council of Los Angeles means.
Bulla's bill, Assembly bill, No. 81, is GER
tainlv the bill referred to but it only
provides for justices clerks as at present
and makes no change in the employees.
At present there are two clerks but only
one is legally recognized, that is the clerk
formerly in Justice Austin court. The
other does not have to give bonds and the
statute does not provide for his pay.
Bulla's bill put the two clerks on the
same footing, and why the City Council
should object to it is past finding out. In
fact, Councilman Stockwell has wired
Senator Mathews that the Council acted
could have passed last evening but Math-
ews held it up trying to find out what the
Council wants.
The Salt Lake bill comes up in Senate
tomorrow.
In the Assembly special appropriation
for the Whittier school will be
reached.

sion Doctors Ward and McFarlane of
Woodland and Nichols and Briggs of Sac
ramento read papers. There wiu be a
session tomorrow morning, which will
close the convention.
A paper that was read during the morn
ing on the treatment of insane patients
brought out great deal OF discussion du-
ring which the opinion was broached that
insane patients were not treated with suf-
ticient consideration from the time of
their arrest to the time of their being re-
ceived at the asylum. Local asylum ply
sicians stated that jails throughout the
state must be in very dirty condition as
only five per cent of the patients received
at the institution were free from vermin.
A banquet was rendered the visiting

BOTH DIED
Tragedy That Ended In the Death O
Notorious Characters

Tragedy That Ended In the Death o
Notorious Characters
San Francisco, March IA terrible
tragedy was committed here early this
morning. Harry Brown, a. notorious
water front character known as ''Sailor'
Brown, murdered his wife and then shot
and killed himself. Both were dead when
found. Brown is believed to have been
crazy. Though possessed of considerable
wealth, he had lately been laboring under
the hallucination that he was soon to lose
it all and it is thought this fear drove
him to commit the terrible crime.
Sailor" Brown has been repeatedly ac-
cused of serious crimes, but has always
been very successful in escaping punish
ment. Once, however, he was forced to
flee to Mexico to avoid arrest. In early
days the woman whom he killed this
morning ran notorious house in Sacra-
mento. 1t was there that Brown married
her.
In later years they have kept sailor
boarding houses here. The tragedy this
morning occurred at GIL Lombard street.

SKELETON OF A WOMAN
Uncovered by House Builders In the Center Of
San Francisco

Uncovered by House Builders In the Center Of
San Francisco
San Francisco, March 12.-The skeleton
OF an aged woman was uncovered while
men were excavating lot on Jessie street
preparatory to erecting an addition to
the business building at 75O Mission street.
In the bones found the teeth remained
and showed that the woman who used
them was very old. They were worn
through the crowns and very irregularly,
the molars being most ragged, which was
an evidence that their owner had been
more vegetarian than carniverous. The
ribs at the junction with the breast bone
had been quite ossified, condition only
present in old people. and the lines of
union between the bones of the skull were
equallysolid. There was no evidence that
the remainsl had lever been coffined or
boxed, but few shreds of coarse bagging
suggested her having been crowded into
sack and thrown into hole in the sand
many years ago, not less than thirty.
That the lot had originally been low and
has been filled by dumping refuse was
shown by the presence of tin cans and
broken glass at levels lower than that at
which the skeleton was found. There
was no bullet hole in the skull nor were
the bones so fractured as to suggest foul
play

DID 1T ON WHEELS
Some Lively Work Done on the Track
In Alameda

IN Alameda
San Francisco, March 12.-The speed
track which the citizens of Alameda have
recently completed bids fair to be the
scene OF some remarkable cycling perform
ances. 1t has been placed at the disposal
OF W. J. Edwards, who will try for the
quarter, half three quarters, kilometer
and mile records over it this week. The
course at Livermore was not suitable ,as
the wind has blown steadily from the
wrong quarter ever since the riders went
down. there to establish new set of
records. Edwards, accompanied by his
trainer, Richard Aylward, and Tony Del
mas, Henry Smith, Allen Jones and
Oscar Osen, the quad team, have returned
to this city and will probably locate in
Alameda. The fsrt trials win probably
be run on Wednesday afternoon. A STRIP
of the speedway fifteen feet wide is being
specially prepared and, owing to its
springy nature. it is expected to prove a
fast racing surface. The course over
which the wheelmen will ride is one and
one,,fourth miles long, which will permit
of their using a bit over furlong in
which to get headway for start.
