Governor Budd had telephoned from oan
francisco directing that the resolutions
be wired TO Washington Immediately on
their adoption. Incidentally it is observed
that the Governor deems it safe to leave
the State Capitol for the metropolis while
a Republi Legislature is in session. 1t
is asked if he would dare absent himself
thus if Democratic Legislature had the
works.
Colonel Barry is especially pleased that
all reference to Government ownership
and operation of the Pacific road was ex-
cluded from the resolutions.
The Assembly to-day let down the bars
and admitted four more attaches-two for
the San Francisco delegation and two for
the Democratic minority. There was
slight opposition on the part of the Demo-
cratic minority until a Republican sug-
gestion came that the Democrats were not
forced to accept the two attaches provided
for them.
Speaker Coombs will appoint all the
lawyers in the Assembly to the Jud1clary
Committee. A canvas has developed the
fact that the Republican lawyers outnum-
Der the legal lights OF the opposition.
Both houses of the LEGISLATURE Will
probably adjourn tomorrow until Mon
day. Speaker Coombs may announce
several of the standing committees this
week, but the main list will not be pro-
muleated until next Monday.
One of the peculiar bills introduced to-
day and referred to the Public Health and
Quarantine Committee provides as fol-
lows:
Should one or both eyes OF an infant
become Redeemed or indamed at any time
within two weeks after birth, it shall be
the duty of the midwife, nurse or person
having charge OF said infant to report the
CONDITION of the eyes at once to some legal
practitioner of medicine of the city, town
or district in which the parents OF the IN
FAINT reside"
A fine of 500, or imprisonment SIX
months. is the penalty prescribed Tor vio-
lation of the proposed law.
The bill may be amended in committee
requiring Speaker Coombs TO report red
eyed members of the Assembly to the
Board OF Health.

SANTA CLARA'S NEEDS.
Appropria tons for the Agnews
Asylum and the High and
Normal Schools.

ApproprIa tons for the Agnews
Asylum and the High and
Normal Schools.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 7.-Senator
H. V. Morehouse, who represents Santa
Clara County. will be found 10 be one OF
the hardest workers in this Senate. he
is well known throughout the length and
breadth OF toe State, having travelled
from one end to t other in the cause of
the success of the Republican party. Mr.
Morehouse made a great hit during the
campaign of Governor Markham. He
travelled and spoke from the stump with
the Governor in almost every county in
the State, and contributed much to the
success of the party that year. The SEN
ator is an effective speaker and has an in
innate knowledge of public affairs, which
qualities have been of great value to him
self and the party. 1t will be remem bered
that his speech at the Wigwam in San
francisco last fall was one of the most en-
tertaining and effective of the series.
The Senator is devoting all of his time
here to the consideration of legislation af-
fectlng Santa Clara and the State at large.
He will ask for the usual appropropria-
tons for the State insane asylum at
Agnews and for the State Normal School
in San Jose. The appropriation for the
asylum will include a sum for building
certain colleges, after the plan of Eastern
asylums, for the care of those who are not
chronic lunaties, and also an appropria-
ton OF SIS 900 for the purpose of sinking
gas well on the premises, the same as the
asylums in Stockton, where a saving of
many thousands a year has been effected
in the cost of lighting and heating.
The Senator will also ask for an appro-
priation for the Soldiers Home at Ever
green, also bill to have the State cede
the right of the city of San Jose to build
on the Normal School ground in San Jose
a high-schooI building, the city having
voted an issue of bonds for SIS, 600 for that
purpose. The city originally ceded 10 the
State twenty-eight acres of land, on which
the Normal School was afterward built.
The deed from the city to the State pro-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-08

vided that in the event of the failure OF
the State to keep the Normal School on
the ground the property would revert to
the city. The grounds have been found
too large for the Normal School and it has
not been practicable TO have them prop
erly cared for, the appropriation being too
small. The building of the High School
on the property will materially reduce the
expense of caring for the grounds, will
peautify the place and will save the city
of San Jose the expenditure of $4,000 for
a building site.
The bill will receive the support OF the
Board of Trustees of the State Normal
School, the faculty and the State Board of
Education and the citizens generally.
Senator Morehouse will also introduce a
bill to create third Superior Judge for
that county. This is a very important
measure. Judicial business has grown so
fast that the calendars are from three to
four months behind, and it is impossible
for the two judges to keep up with the
rush of work. The bill will be supported
by every attorney in the county.
In the matter of general State legisla-
ton Senator Morehouse will introduce
resolution to amend the constitution so as
to permit of the creation of two interme-
date courts, of three Judges each, to be
elected by the people and possessing all
the qualifications of Justices of the Su-
preme Court. The resolution proposes to
change the constitution as to jurisdiction
by dividing the business that now goes to
the Supreme Court, so that about half of
the business will go to the intermediate
courts. The creation of the intermediate
court will do away with the Supreme
Court Com isSinn.

DARING ROBBERY IN CHICAGO.
Two Armed Men Enter the Auditorium
Annex HofeI After Midnight, Secure
500 and Escape.

CHICAGO, ILL. Jan. 8.-Two armed
robbers entered the buffet Of the Audito-
rum Annex Hotel at 1880 o'clock this
morning, while twelve yeople were sitting
at the tables, covered Cashier d. Walsh
with their weapons, seized 500 which he
had just deposited in a tin box and then
escaped.
The robbers entered through the doors
leading into the buffet from the hotel
Office and were we'll dressed. No one in
side was suspicious until the revolvers
were flashed and then all feared TO make
any resistance.
Cashier Walsh had counted out the
money and deposited it in the box when
one of the robbers said, "Cry for help and
you're dead man."
His companion seized the cash and both
backed out OF the door with drawn
weapons. They ran into Lake Front Park
and the police have found no trace OF
them. The Annex is one of the most
prominent hotels in Chicago, and Is
located in the heart OF the city.

Seawell, Doty and Braunhart opposed it.
Langford asked that action be post
poned, as the resolution authorized by the
Fruit growers Association would soon be

luton adopted. All the Republicans voted
aye, Langford also casting his vote with
the majority.
The Joint resolution in opposition to the
funding bill, passed by the Assembly yes
terday, was then taken up and passed by
a unanimous vote. There was no debate

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
What Senator Stratton Proposes to
Accomplish for the Educational
institution,


Accomplish for the Educational
Institution.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 7.-Senator
Stratton of Alameda will introduce bill
to raise the income of the State University
by gradual tax of l cent on each 500, so
as to provide for additional maintenance.
Improvements, etc. The proposition has
been Endorsed by the alumni and the re-
gents as being necessary for the welfare of
the institution of learning. This continn-
Gus tax will be so light that the individual
taxpayer will hardly feet it at all, the ad-
ditional tax TO a man who pays on an
assessment OF $1,000 not exceeding cents
year.
Another bill will enlarge the powers OF
the board of regents of the university so
that they will not be ham pered with so
much red tape when they proceed to erect
college buildings. The measure is to be
introduced at the suggestion of Mrs.
Phoebe Hearst, who recently donated
100000 to be expended in new univer-
sity buildings. her desire being that the
work of construction should proceed at
once and not be delayed by injunctions
and other disagreed BILE features of public
work. As the proposed buildings are to
be paid for with her own money the Sem
ator thinks that she should have voice
in the matter of their speedy construction.
Another bill will be for the relief of tue
Affiliated Colleges and will return from
the treasury $125, 900 of the building fund
which was allowed to lapse by nom
compliance with certain requirements OF
the law.

ELECTION REFORMS.
Sen ators Stratton and Braunhart
Working to Purify Primary
Election Methods.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 7.-Senator
Fred S. Stratton of Alameda and Senator
Braunhart of San Francisco have pre- pared
bills looking toward the doing away, of
boss rule in primary elections and munich
pal affairs. The Senator from Alameda
has bill which he says is the result of
many months careful study and work.
1t provides for the establishm ent OF a nom
partisan election commission in each
county, which shall have general supervi-
sion over the primaries. Candidates for
Office go on the ticket by petition. All
primaries of all parties nust be held on
the same day. at the same place, with
separate board of officers and separate
ballot-b boxes for each party. 1t will be re-
quired of each voter that he shall register
Q statement of his party utilization at least
ten days prior to the primary.
This is to Go away with the common
evil of Democratic heelers voting at Re-
pu blican primaries in order to help out
Republican boss, and the evil of Republi-
can heelers voting at Democratic primaries
in return for the favor. No candidate at
a primary election can expend on or be-
fore the day of election any greater sum
general election law. In other words the
bill applies the purity of ell ction law to
primaries. The election officers shall be
appointed by a non-partisan board of
election commissioners, selected by lot
from the assessment-roll, and who are
pledged to service without compensation.
Senator Braunhart's bill is more simple.
1t provides taat at the general election In
1893. and thereafter, there shall be elected
in every election precinct in the State one
member to represent his district in the
governing com mittee or body for each
county or city and county of any political
party, association or organization, which
at the general election last preceding
polled at least per cent of the entire vote
of the county or city and county. Nomi-
nees are required to file petition of 10.
per cent of the vote cast at the last gen.
TONER shall be printed on the official bal
lot by the Clerk or Registrar, as the case
may be, and the persons elected shall
serve for two years. This governing body,
whenever situated within the limits OF
any city or town, shall have exclusive
jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to
the party organic alton. The governing
committee shall have power to FIX the
time for holding primaries, etc.
Senator Braunhart hopes TO be able to
incorporate the essential features OF his
plan into Senator STATIONS bill, if such

Outstanding that to-morrow's session will

will go home and remain until Monday.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-08

troduced, perhaps, tomorrow. This Will
exempt the regents from the operation OF
the existing law relating TO the construc-
ton of public buildings, which require
plans to be advertised for. Mrs. Hearst,
IN her proposed gifts to the university of
81, 200. oO0 will furnish plans for the
buildings which she proposes to build.
Mr.. Reinstein is positive that Mrs. Hearst
will not consent to plans supplied by the
State, She has her own ideas about the
architecture of the structure, and the
regents will be guided by the judgment
of the eminent architects to be engaged
under her direction. The existing law Is
said by the Attorney General to apply to
the university as well as to other public
institutions. Judge Wallace insists that
the regents are now wholly independent
of the law, and to make assurance doubly
sure of non-application the Legislature is
asked to declare the exem ption.
The bill to Inappropriate the lapsed
S125, 600 appropriation for Affiliated Col
leges in San Francisco will be placed in
the hands of Judge Dibble. He will be
charged with the duty of making it clear
to the Assembly that the measure is not
new appropriation, but simply one restor-
ing to the regents the RICH. to spend
money appropriated two years ago. and
now in the general fund of the treasury.
The lapse of this $125.0C0 will be cited as
reason why the university should be
exempted from the building law, because
the delays In the construction of the
Affiliated Colleges were caused in a
measure by the efforts of the regents to
conform to the provisions of this law.
Mr.. Reinstein says that $780, 600 derived
from the tax levy should be Immediately
used to procure water supply for the
university. The institution is now pay
ing $3.50 u month. He says the voice of
the leading press throughout the State

PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
Regent ReinStein Brings Bills Re-
lating to the State

University.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. Regent
J. b. Reinstein, representing the State
University, arrived last night and placed
bills touching that institution in the
hands of III. e. Wright of the Assem- bly,
and F. S. Stratton of the Senate. In the
Assem bly, this forenoon Mr.. Wright in
troduced the measure for permanent in
crease of the tax levy to maintain the uni
versitv. The law now provides that the
State Board of Equalization shall levy
cent annually for university maintenance.
Mr.. Wrignt's bill authorizes an additional
levy of / cent annually for ten years, di-
recting that half the amount secured from
the State shall be used for the construc-
ton of buildings. The existing / cent
and the proposed addition will give the
institution from $225, 900 to $3.50, 900 per
annum, according to the total valuation
of the assessable property. As the wealth
of the State increases and the assessment
roll expands, the amount realized by the
tax will increase.
Another university measure will be in

A CONTRADICTION.
Expert Says That East Bluehill Cow
Was Diseased.

That East Biuehill tuberculosis scare
like Bsnquo's ghost, will not down.
When Prof. Smith, OF Portland, who at
the instance OF Secretary McKeen, OF the
State board OF agriculture, made exam
nation OF portions from the lungs OF the
Bridges children and of the COW, reported
that there was no tuberculosis in either
COW or children, it was generally ac-
cepted as setting at rest the controversy,
and people breathed freer
But DR.. w. l.. West, OF this city, who
examined the COW, declared her to be
diseased and ordered her killed, still held
to his original diagnosis. In the face OF
the overwhelming authority against him,
DR.. West remained silent. He did not
rest content with Prof. Smiths report,
however, but sent portions OF the COW to
Prof William Fl. WEIGH. OF the medical
department of Johns Hopkins university,
Baltimore.
Last week he received Prot. Welch's re-
port, which is to the effect that there can
be no question as to the existence OF tu-
berculosis in the cow The Emphatic
glands at the root of the lung were ex-
tensively involved; and that the disease
had extended beyond the limits OF the
glands into the surrounding tissues, and
the lungs were tuberculous.
This report, which is a direct contradic-
ton OF the previous one, re-opens the
controversy as to what caused the
death OF the three children of Luther
Bridges Of Bluehill. With experts at
variance, the common people, ignorant
OF medical terms and phrases, must take
the reports as they receive them, and de-
eide for themselves which expert they
shall believe.
