election law. was read in sections,
amended in technical matters, sent to
printer and made a special order for
Monday at II O'Clock.
BLUE AND GOLD JUNKET.
Just before the noon recess Wright
moved that when the House adjourned
it adjourn until Monday morning in
order that legislators might accept the
invitation of the Faculty of the State
University to visit that institution to-
day.
Several of the wiser heads opposed
taking days junket simply for the
pleasure of the members at this busy
time in the session, Dibble pointing
| out that the trip wouldac cost the State
just $1,000 as it would necessitate an
extra days stay after the statute sess-
ion is closed. The younger members
won easily and the Assembly will for
get toll and care at Berkeley to-day
AFTER RECESS.
North's resolution offered some time
ago, excluding from the floor of the
House all visitors not having official
/ business, came up and was made the
! subject of some rather rough horse
| play after which it was laid on the
| table.
IN MEMORIAM
| Mcclellan moved that when the
| House adjourned it should adjourn out
/ of respect to the memory of Hon.
Frank A. Blakeley, member of the AS
sembly from Tulare in 1893 who died
in this city on Thursday evening. Nc
Clellan delivered brief but apprecia-
| five e1IlOOV 1aoaaca1 of
which his motion was carried by a
standing vote.
THE FRIEDLANDER CASE.
| Kenyon, of the Contested Elections
| Committee, offered, out of order, the
| following report and resolution
REPORT.
Whereas, 1t appears from the facts
within the knowledge of the Committee
| on Contested Elections of the Assem-
| bly, that one, A. a. Friedlander, has at
| tempted, by means of a forged writ
| ing, to draw from the treasury of the
State of California a sum of money for
| services that the said Friedlander did
not perform as an official of this COM
mittee, therefore, be it
| Resolved, That the Grand Jury of
the County of Sacramento be requested
| to take cognizance of said offense and
| investigate the said charge and the
| facts connected Herewith and that this
| Assembly take such further action in
the premises as may be right and just
KENYON, Chairman.
| Adopted.
RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That A A Friedlander
he h. ;e, Il
| lege of admission to the Assembly
Chamber or any of the rooms under the
control of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House during the remainder of the
| session. KENYON, Chairman.
Action upon the whole matter was
appointed for 5 o'clock but when that
| hour arrived, in the heat of the rock
crushing argument, it seemed to have
| been overlooked.
TWO NEW BILLS.
Although the constitutional time for
| the introduction of bills has passed,
| two have been introduced since then,
after the necessary unanimous consent
was secured. They are as follows:
By Emmons, 975, to provide an ad
ditional Judge of the Superior Court in
counties of the twenty-fifth class,
(kern).
By Leavitt, 976. relating to the fur
nishing of artificial light to cities of
| the first class.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
On this file A. B. 81, to pay the claim
of Thomas Hatch was passed; also
Guys PAT, to pay the claim of the
Daily Report; Guys 233, for the pay
of the San Francisco Bulletin" and
Americas, S60 for So, 900 for the i'm
provement of Alviso Slough.
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
The Governor sent no less than three
communications to the Assembly yes
terday. One message announced that
Hills A. 3. 16, and a code bill, 419
had been transmitted to him with Sen
ate amendments which had not been
concurred in by the Assembly. This
error in procedure will doubtless be
corrected and the bills re-transmitted
to the Governor.
Among ether bills approved by the
Governor yesterday were the following:
SOB, the $4,000 printing bill, Shana-
hans 112, extending the time for re-
demption of property sold on execu-
ton from six months to one year, and
$40, appropriating $4,000 for the con-
tingency fund of the Assembly.
ANDERSON'S AMENDMENT.
Senator Doty's 81 came up on the
Senate special file; the bill to regulate
and govern the operation of the rock
crushing plant at the State Prison at
Folsom which was burdened with the
amendment offered by Anderson few
evenings ago which was carried and
which, in the opinion of the friends of
the bill, effectually killed the measure.
Cutter offered another amendment
which restored the bill to its original
status, or nearly so, and this precip
itated the old, old discussion
Emmons. Dibble, Toland, Anderson,
Clark, Leavitt, rang the changes over
the unoffending rock-crusher, from the
standpoint of the broadcast humanity
down to the difference between 40
cents per ton and selling the rock
free with ten per cent. added as one
speaker inadvertently put it,
But there We're others-and those
others included Valentine, Bridgeford.
Dennery, North, Ennis, Cutter, and
others who spoke to such good pur-
poSC tiiciN, dCSpitC USUAL
Instructions of propositions to table"
and to indefinitely postpone" Cutters
amendment carried and the bill will
now come up on third reading.
The House took a recess and the very
brief evening session before the recep-
ton to Justice McKenna began, was
devoted to getting the legislative decks
cleared for action when the House re-
conveneS on Monday.
