will never be repeated. Members rose
to questions of privilege and indulged
In strong personalities pending the con-
sideration of the committees report
although debate had been shut off by
the previous question being called for.
An amendment was proposed striking
out the paragraph censuring the mileage
committee. but the amendment was lost.
Bettman made an impassioned speech
in which he declared that the part of the
report which threw more blame on the
older members than the new comers
should be stricken out Another amend
ment was proposed striking out that
part of the report including the names
of the members who suggested attaches
but this was voted down and the report
was adopted as 1t came from the COM
mlttee.
Then came the resolutions of Mr.. Way
mire, the first of which was to the effect
that all the attaches to whom mileage
had been paid except the chief clerk,
sergeant-a ARMS and minute clerk, VINO
are still on the pay roll, be compelled 10
return the money received by them. The
resolution was adopted.
The next resolution favored the dis
missal of Chief Clerk Duckworth. BY
unanimous consent Duckworth was al
lowed to take the floor and answer the
charges against him. The assembly
chamber was crowded, many of the fair
sex being in attendance.
Caminetti said that he had twice re-
fused to recommend a person but had
yielded to the third request, and he
demanded to know why he should be
branded as a criminal without a hearing.
Judge Waymire denied that Can't
netti did not have hearing. He said
that the member was subpoenaed and
answered that he had made the request.
Caminetti in loud tones cried that he
had been subpoenaed as witness to the
trial of Duckworth. To this Judge Way
mire responded that Caminetti had
heard the resolution under which the
committee was appointed, which said
that the temporary roll should be in
vestigated and not Duckworth. Cami-
netti demanded to know why Parkerson
the former sergeantat-arms who was
responsible for eighteen named on the
ROLL had not been subpoenaed. Waymre
said that Parkerson had been sent for
but failed to come.
Duckworth said that Parkerson had
told his brother (Duckworth' where
he could be found and was always ready
to attend. The clerk went down to Chy-
noweth's desk and said in ringing tones
that the newspapers had reported that
1t had been said that H. Friedman was
a partner of Robert Duckworth. The
name and address of Friedman were fur
ulSucu " lily HOWctH, Dul the prose-
cutting attorney had failed to send for
him. In conclusion, the clerk said that
he had to yield to the request-the de-
mand of the majority for patronage An
outburst of applause followed the speech
and the roll was called on Waymires
resolution. The latter was defeated by
a vote of A to 33.

A DELEGATION COMING
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-The un-
employed who daily congregate in the
headquarters of the Socialfstic Labor
party intend to go to Sacramento next
week and make personal appeal to the
legislature for an appropriation to fur
nish work for the unemployed who are
clamoring for the means whereby to
earn living.
Leff1ngwell, Browning, King and
Kline, who constitute the committee,
expect that many of the unemployed
from this city will join them and that
their numbers will be augmented on the
way to the capital. A meeting has been
called for 10:S0 am. tomorrow where all
unemployed may join in the movement.
If enough are willing to undertake the
journey they will at once start from the
meeting place to the Stockton boat.
From Stockton they propose to march
TO Sacramento unless the railroad should
offer them free ride to the capital.
