nized as competent TO teach the prac-
tice of medicine.

Criminal Courts, was amended by the
author to read Cities and counties of
the first class

urged that all the other Interpreters are
paid 500 and that the Japanese inter
prefer is much needed.
The bill was referred to the San Fran
cisco delegation, to be reported back to
day.
Pedlar objected to the bill retaining
its place on file, as the bills by Senators
whose names begin with A and B have
been referred time and time again, while
those of other Senators have to wait.
Dickinson thought that San Francisco
could wait a week for the interiection of
this little Jap, and the San Francisco
delegation could report it in due time
as other bills are

upon by the committee. He moved thai
it be refused a third reading.
Doty said that he realized the fact
that the appropriation simply stands
upon the sentiment and patriotism OF |
the legislators, and that the committee
reported as it did because it felt that |
the State could not afford to build the |
monument. He hoped the day would |
come when the State would build a |

quest and acquisition possible.
