One of Senator Berps Bills Comes TO an
Ignobte End.


Ignobte End.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 3.-Senator
Bert made public confession of lack of
judgment or incom mpetency on the floor
to-day. His bill providing for the ap-
pointment of Japanese interpreter for
the criminal courts of San Francisco at
salary of $3.50 a month came up for third
reading. 1t had been attacked on second
reading as being unnecessary and as sim
ply providing soft place for some ia
vored individual. Bert made strenuous
defense of the measure al that time and
was most emphatic in declaring that the
need of japanese interpreter was most
urgent.
There promised to be another attack on
the bill on third reading, SO making vir-
tue of necessity Bert, when his bill was
reached on the file, asked permission to
withdraw it. He remarked that a con-
ference with some of the Police Judges of
San Francisco had convinced him that
his bill would not provide for "a long-felt
want" There being no objection the bill
was unostentatiously dropped into the
wastebasket.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 3.-Assem.
blyman Melick this morning introduced
Assembly joint resolution 25, relating to
the purchasing and making free to the
United States Government of the toll
roads passing over the Yosemite National
Park in the State of California. The reso.
lutlons recites that in 1885 and 1889 the
State purchased and made free portions
OF three tolIroads in the Yosemite VAL
ley, and that in 1890 an act of Congress
was passed establishing the Yosemite
National Park, but it did not provide for
the making free of the said three tollroads
passing over the National Park and into
the Yosemite Valley, or for the making
iree OF the fourth tollroad passing through
the park but not into the valley.
The resolution recites further that the
United States Senate in 1896 authorized
the purchase and making free of the three
tollroads from their beginnings at the
public highways outside of the National
Park to where they cross the boundary
line OF the Yosemite Valley grant, and OF
the fourth tollroad from its beginning in

That Ma.hlngIon Dog RIghi.

Washington City Is at present enjoy
ing scandal that promises to develop
into Interesting dimensions. There was
joint and highly animated discussion
between two dogs in the stable of sena-
tor Cullom. That fact of itself would
not have signitied much, but the specta-
tors who witnessed 1t have brought 1t
into painful prominence. The police
raIded the place and among those arrest
ed were two young men in evening dress
and a well-dressed, good-looklng young
woman, described in the dispatches as a
prominent member of society,"" She
gave fictitious name, and one OF the
youns men put up for her at police
headquarters.
The only reason that so much is being
made out OF the affair is the mystery that
surrounds the identity of the woman 1t
is not probable that the woman in the
case moves In any consequential circle
at the capital, Society Is guilty OF many
follles, but many things are charged
against It that are not true. The versa
tile and highly imaginative special cor
respondent always clothes the young
woman who gets Into trouble or has
some romantic experience with the silk
en- gowns and polished manners of the
cultured and wealthy class. No matter
how humble her condition in life, she al
ways moves in the fret circles Of so
ciety." If perchance some unfortunate
or tragic circumstances attend her
death, it Invariably and with insistent
regularity casts gloom over the entire
community" while the afflicted commu-
nifty would be puzzled to find any gloom
worth mentioning, Journals Of little
character and less conscience are adopts
in misleading the public in this respect,
II a sad tale Is told he personages must
be prominent in their society relations,
and the details are exploited for the pur-
pose OF catering to the class OF people
who most enjoy reading such stuff and
who gloat over the morbid and perni-
clous affairs of life. The short and
simple annals of the poor" would not In
terest them, and the sensational journal
of to-day has no room for thu common
place.
Recurring to the dog fight, however,
the woman arrested may be as described,
