NO MONEY and NO SUPPLIES.
The Code Commissioners Find Themselves
In a Fix.
Loose Manner in Which Laws Are
Passed by the Legis-
lature.

The three members of the recently
appointed Code Commission-Assem
blymen Caminetti and Shanahan and
Senator Bulla-met in the quarters as
signed them in the State Capitol build
ing yesterday morning, but they did no
more than exchange views on the
weather, Secretary of State Browns
opinion and several other interesting
topics.
Secretary of State Brown had thrown
bomb into the camp of the Code
Commissioners which called a halt, or
rather it left no room for beginning.
The commission, after having assem-
bled, applied to the Secretary of State
for the necessary codes, blank books,
papers, etc, necessary to assist in the
performance of the arduous duties
mapped out for them, but while the
Secretary of State smiled benignly he
informed the Commissioners that he
could no nothing for them, much as he
would like to.
Explanations followed, and the Sec
rotary of State made clear his posi-
ton by citing the fact that, while the
Act creating the commission provid-
ed for the payment of the salaries Of
the Commissioners, a Secretary and
Clerk, it went no further No provision
was made for the necessary codes, sta
| tionery, supplies, light, or fuel, nor for
the payment of the salary of a porter,
and he knew of no fund from which, if
he furnished the articles demanded, he
could be reimbursed.
| The Secretary of State was firm in
his opinion and informed the Commits
sioners that the only thing left for them
| to do was to create a credit or quit
/ work
! So far as a deficiency was concerned,
he said there could be none. because
there was no basis for it. Mr.. Brown
| however, consented to request an opin-
ion from the Attorney General who is
now in San Francisco, concerning the
matter, and until that opinion arrives
the Code Commissioners will rest on
| their oars, so to speak.
In speaking of the case Secretary
Brown said the Code Commission APP
pointed two years ago found itself in a
similar predicament. 1t had neither
books nor stationery, and no appropria-
ton wherewith to procure any. The
commission, as way out of the diff
Guilty, bought the necessary supplies,
sent a bill to the Board of Examiners,
which was approved, and bill intro
duced in the Legislature for the
amount was passed and signed by the
| Governor
That course, said Secretary Brown,
could be followed by the present COM
mission, but as there is no certainty of
a debt SO contracted ever being paid.
he did not propose to create it and af-
terward pay it from his own pocket.
He felt certain that Attorney General
| Fitzgerald would view the matter in
the same light, but in order to satisfy
the members of the commission he had
requested the Attorney-General to rem
| der an opinion on the subject.

STROTHMAN'S DEATH.
No Reason for Doubling That the De-
ceased Killed Himself.

Coroner Clark has turned over to w
w. Rhoads, attorney for Public Admin
istrator w. B. Miller the personal eff
fects of the late Christoph Strothman
who committed suicide by hanging on
Monday, about twelve miles down the
river. on the Sacramento side.
The property consisted of S11, 900 in the
bank $40 found in the house of the de-
ceased, mortgage for 81 900. and notes
aggregating 1000. The realty. it is
understood is valued at over 1000.
While wild theories are afloat to the
effect that Strothman may have been
murdered Coroner Clark submits that
| it was case of suicide, pure and simple
and believes that at the time the rash
deed was committed Strothman was
mentally unbalanced.
The funeral will take place at , .. m
on Thursday from the funeral parlors
of Miller & McMullen, Ninth and K
streets The services viii be held in the
German Lutheran Church at 2:30.

Thursday. the 18TH he will hear argu-
ments for and against the application
for the pardon of S. d. Worden.
Worden, it will be remembered was
tried at Woodland for having wrecked
a train a short distance west of Wash
ington, Yolo County, during the strike
in July 1894, by which engineer Clark
and four United States soldiers were
killed. The trial resulted in his con-
viction for the crime of murder, but
the others implicated in the matter
managed to escape conviction
Several months ago Governor Budd
reprieved Worden until such time as
he should be able to inquire into the
application for pardon, and his action
on the day set for hearing will prob
ably be final

SACRAMENTO'S LOSS.

Hon Grove L. Johnson has removed
from Sacramento to San Francisco,
where ne will engage in the practice of
his profession at the bar of the me-
tropolis What is the loss of Sacra-
mento in this case is decidedly the gain
of San Francisco. Mr.. Johnson has
been a resident of Sacramento more
than thirty years. In that time he has
made an impression upon the commu-
nifty that will never be effaced and that
is 10 it's lasting benefit. His spirited
patriotism, his courage of declaration,
his devotion to the best interests of the
people among whom he SO long resid-
ed. his active energetic participation in
all public affairs that should engage the
energies of the good citizen, have char
acterized his course here. AS a law
siduity in prosecuting interests COM
mitted to him, he has achieved a rep
utation of which any member of the
bar might we'll be proud. In con-
cernment in the local affairs or MS
neighborhood, he has never been sec
ond, but always first and to the fore
front Of all good works, and in resist
ance of influences non beneficial to his
neighbors. Sacramento loses Mr.
Johnson with sincere regret, but
is consoled by the reflection that he en-
/ L., Ga11 - nd nt-
taches himself to a bar where his fine
abilities will have fuller opportunity
for exercise. He is not lost to the
State, and Sacramento in that fact finds

The Fruit Exchange

1t is good to see that the threatened
Reorganization of the California Fruit
Exchange is not likely to occur. 1t seems
strange that any one should oppose this
orgarizat tion. Almost everybody ac-
knowledges that on the whole the eX-
change has been a great benefit to the
citrus fruit industry of California; and
yet some of our most intelligent and
most able fruit growers stand aloof
from the organization. The fact that so
large a proportion of the fruit of South
ern California-almost half of it-has
been marketed by this association is
proof enough of its great excellence. We
notice that one Of the leading commits
sion men, in recent publication. shows
how he has paid more for fruit than
the exchange in certain regions of South
ern California. Such reports as these
will certainly not influence any person
of thought and intelligence. 1t would be
much better for this same firm to tell
what they did do before the Fruit Ex-
change was organized; and what they
did do last year in regions where there
was no fruit exchange. This, however,
Is unnecessary, for people have good
memories, and we have press which
is wide awake and keeps our people
thoroughly informed in regard to all
such matters which pertain so vitally
to our best interest.
