The fourth feature of the resolutions,
declaring for just and wise bankruptcy
law, met with some opposition. Mr..
Dearmond of Missouri argued that it
was not expedient for the party to take
a position favorable to the bankruptcy
bill at this time. The resolution was
supported by Messrs. Bailey, Simms of
Tennessee and Swanson of Virginia. The
resolution finally prevailed by a large
majority, although Mr.. Dearmond and
about half a dozen others registered
their votes in opposition to this course.

Resolved, second. That we are opposed
and will resist all attempts to extend the
privileges of national banks, or to re-

The first three features Of the resolu-
ton, on finance and Cuba, were consid-

vigorous and unanimously favorable.
Mr. Bailey made the main speech, urg-
ing that Democratic members should
take their opposition promptly against
those financial movements now assum-

given to them by the
president and secretary of the treasury.
He also spoke for a clear cut position In
favor of the recognition of Cuban bel

dissenting vote to Mr.. Bailey's PROPOSE
lions, and the first three resolutions

FANNY'S FAT FORTUNE
REACHES THE POCKETS OF HER
BROTHER
G. @. Brown, Veteran Sport Of Sac
ramento, Makes a Winning in
His Old Age

SACRAMENTO, Cal. Dec. 14.-Chas.
c. Brown, veteran sport and old-time
Sacramentan, has fallen heir to an estate
in New Orleans. valued at $100.000 The
estate belonged to his sister. Fanny
Hinckley Mills, who died in New Orleans
q little over year ago. The estate has
been in litigation since the time Of the
death of Browns sister. Last night
Brown received word from New Orleans
that he had held the winning hand and
had won the case on its merits.
The telegram which Brown received
last night announcing his good fortune
reads as follows:
NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. 10.
"Chas. G. Brown, corner Eighteenth
and M streets. Sacramento: Supreme
court decides in your favor. When will
you come?
(signed) NV. R. ROGERS"
To a reporter today Brown said that
the estate was worth 100000, OF which
$45, 500 was in United States government
per cent bonds.
Fanny Hinckley Mills. alias Fanny
Sweet, alias Fanny Brown, had led a
checkered career, both in Sacramento
and in the south.
She was born in England and came to
America in 1916. At this time she was
10 years Of age. She appeared in the old
Globe ballroom, a dance-house in New
Orleans, where she became a we'll
known character. After accommodating
considerable money, she came to San
Francisco, where she led fast life In
1850 she came to Sacramento and opened
a house of questionable repute. On De-
cember 20, 1852, she shot and wounded a
man named Albert Putnam. She was
arrested and carried aboard the prison
ship lying in the Sacramento river but
within few days made her escape from
the ship, fed to San Francisco and thence
by ship to New Orleans.
When Charles c. Brown heard of his
sisters death he left at once for New
Orleans, where he Immediately put in a
claim for the estate as brother and sole
heir Of deceased. Among other claim
ants were number of people in Eng
land, who claimed to be grandnieces and
nephews. The public administrator was
another contestant, and the state of
Louisiana was third.
Brown was fortunate enough to run
across an old negro, aged 90. who had
worked for his sister when she ran the
Ell Dorado resort on the northeast corner
of Second and J streets, in this city. in
early days, and his testimony proved
very valuable In support Of Browns
claim.

LAW AGAINST TR.AMPS.
Substance of the Bill by Representa-
tive Cray,

The state of Minnesota, according to
Representative Cray, Of the Hennepin
delegation, has at present no compre-
that the cities have ordinances, and in
the charters of cities and villages, give
the police power to handle the people
who prefer to beg and steal, rather than
to work. A bill was introduced by the
Minneapolis attorney. yesterday morn
ing, which is presented as a suggestion
OF what should be the law. 1t provides
as follows:
All idle persons not having Visible means
to support themselves and without en-
ployment; all persons wandering abroad lodg-
ing in outhouses, market places Sheds barns
and unoccupied houses, under tents carts or
wagons, or under bridges or in the open air
and not giving good account Of themselves
all common drunkards, all lewd, wanton
persons wandering abroad, or begging, or who
go about from door to door, or place them
selves in the streets public places, to beg
or receive aims, shall be deemed Migrants.
The act makes vagrancy punishable
by imprisonment in the county Jail for
thirty days. Representative Cray says
the bill was not intended as a finished
product, but the hard times and the
growth of the tramp evil have made
some measure necessary, the only
trouble being where to draw the line
between the honest man out Of work,
and honestly seeking employment, and
the professional tramp. The bill went
to a special committee on the tramp

OF labor were adopted:
Whereas, The State Federation of Labor,

commissioner Of labor and his methods OF
conducting the labor bureau; and
Whereas, That body asked the dismissal
of said labor commissioner, and yet in face
of its protest he was re-appointed; and
Whereas, Although its request was ignored,
we note that the senate has ordered an in
vestigation of the bureau, and we feel that
this action is a recognition of our protest,
therefore,
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the &C
ton of the senate in appointing a commit
tee of investigation and clothing it with full
powers.
Resolved further, That we call upon the
senate committee to thoroughly scrutinize the
work of the bureau in every respect as pro-
vided in the terms of the resolution Great

FIGHT ON THE FLOOR.
Dunn-Day Argument to he Before
The Senafe.

the Senate.
If, as has been charged, the policy of
the Day side in the Sixth senatorial
district contest, is delay, then the vic
tory which some of the Fairmont edi-
tors friends thought they saw in the
verdict of the committee on elections
yesterday was chiefly Supposititious
There was, perhaps, a show of en-
ccura cement in the action of the COM
mittee in declining to ask the attorney
| general for an opinion before passing
upon the matter. Chairman Sperry was
anxious that the judgment of the COM
mittee should not be declared until the
attorney general had expressed himself
in the matter. This, the Dunn party
argued, was apt to be favorable to
them, in view of the fact that it was
one OF the attorney generals former
opinions which was interpreted by the
Fairmont Republicans as the authority
for Mr.. Dunn's candidacy at the polls
last November. Their position was
that the attorney generals opinion
must be- If not distinctly favorable to
them, at least seemingly contradictory
of his former expressions
This view of the case, too, was ap-
rarently held by Senator Yale and
other friends of Mr.. Day, for they OPP
posed the dragging in of the attorney
general at this stage of the proceedings,
the result of the discussion being a
determination to submit to the senate
the facts agreed on, and let the counsel
for the respective parties fight the
matter out before the full senate.
When the committee met yesterday
1t went into executive session for half
an hour or whereabouts. After the
secret session was over Chairman
Sperry informed counsel that it was
the wish of the committee to have all
testimony fnA fi,rS<t no
counsel then proceeded to make certain
additions and Examinations of detail in
the statement agreed on Friday.
Chairman Sperry suggested that it
was the wish of the committee that the
arguments for either side be not to
exceed an hour in length, but this
seemed to be unsa tisfactOry Senator
Yale thought there should be no at
tempt to hamper the counsel, but
he deemed it the better plan to have
the arguments in eXtenSo before the
senate in committee Of theewhole.
Senator Young thought that the mat
ter was one which appealed so strong
ly to the personal interest of every
senator, that each would want to hear
all the arguments for himself. He
suggested that the committee merely
present the statement of facts agreed
upon, without recommendation to the
senate, when the arguments might be
heard in committee Of the whole.
Senator Thompson suggested that the
attorney generals opinion might be
secured and submitted herewith.
Senator Yale said that the question
was one involving the Interpretation Of
the constitution, and might establish
a precedent for all time. He knew Of
no ADLER or fairer tribunal to decide it
than the senate itself 1t would be
throwing an unnecessary burden on
the attorney general, he thought, to
ask for his opinion on a matter in
which four SO able lawyers as the op-
posing counsel were unable to agree.
The senate will be asked to make it
a special order for Thursday at 10
o'clock.
