The herald., 1897-02-14

gin with In the south, Los Angeles can
have the collectorship, marshal and dis
trict attorney, and probably the lanu
of11ce, but Indian agents, etc, must go
to San Bernardino, Riverside and Or
Ange, San Diego having its collector OF
port.
DR.. Price of Perris, in Riverside coun-
", will probably succeed M. Estudillo
as Indian agent. The doctor is very
highly indorsed and has been the ply
sician of the Mission Indians for years.
Riverside has also another candidate
for the Indian service, but for much
higher place than agent; in fact, Frank
Lewis, whom many Los Angeles people
will remember as a partner of Edward
Meserve and Shirley Ward in the prac-
4 tice of law, aspires to be assistant com
missioner of Indian affairs. He has the
unanimous Endorsement of the Repub-
lican members of the senate and of his
home county committee, whatever that
will avail him.
Resolutions were presented to the sem
ate and spread upon its journal from
the chamber of commerce, mining and
stock exchange and Merchants and
Manufacturers association, all Of Los
Angeles favoring the continuation of
the mining bureau. The bill will no
doubt pass.
Senator Jones of Orange offered the
following resolution, which was unanf-
mously adopted
Whereas, A petition has been circulat
ed and signed by a large number of
members of this senate, purporting TO
be in the interest of the Christian En-
deavor society to secure low rates of rail-
way fares, but which proves to be an in
dorsement of the so-called Sherman anti
ticket brokerage bill, now pending in
congress therefore, be it
Resolved, That such signatures were
obtained under a misunderstanding or
Misrepresentation, and that it is the
sense of this senate that the rights of
American citizens, guaranteed under the
constitution, would be seriously in
fringed upon by the passage of any act
in the congress of the United States
making it a crime. punishable by heavy
fine and imprisonment, for any person
other than an authorized agent of
railway or transportation company to
sell or transfer a railroad ticket.
That the resolution was unanimously
adopted shows the feeling of the state
senate on the effort to suppress ticket
scalping.
The committees on contested cleo
tions in the assembly and the senate
have reported their expenses. In the
assembly in the case of Hoey VS.. Pow
ers, claims for $4,000 were made but only
1870 allowed. In the case of Bennett VS..
TOland, the claims amounted to $1,000;
allowance, 5000. In the senate claims
amounting to s2973 were allowed, con-
siderably less than asked for.
kilograms have been pouring in from
Los Angeles in opposition to the pro-
posed legislation on street railways, al
lowing one company to use another's
tracks for ten blocks. In other respects
the proposed law is favored by Major
ITthrey, Charles Forman, w. d. Wool
wine, p H. Bradley and others. Bulla's
law allows the companies to use tracks
for five blocks, but San Francisco wants
to make it ten, so as to cover all ap-
proaches to the Market-street ferry.
The ways and means committee of the
assembly has reported favorably on bills
to erect ward building for the Southern
California asylum for the insane at
Highlands. and for a barn and dairy
building there. An appropriation to en-
large the laundry at Highlands asylum
has also been favorably reported.
Bulla's bill, giving Los Angeles juris-
diction over Griffith park and the roads
leading thereto, will go to the governor
on Monday and be signed, beyond
doubt, next week. FRASIER.
