Mountain into Los Angeles it would
have to do it under another corporation
name as it would be a competing line
and could not be consolidated with the
Santa Fe and Pacific. The captain eX-
planned that if it were not for the fact
that the Santa Fe and Pacific were a
Federal corporation no legislation would
be asked for a consolidation could be
effected under the present law. All the
Santa Fe was asking was the same
privilege now given to California cor
porations.
Senator Morehouse made a flOwery
speech against Braunharts substitute.
He said it would utterly destroy what
it was sought to accomplish. He said
he was in favor of railroads and he was
willing every one should know it. He
talked about demagogues and gave
them scoring. He said that the
Santa Fe Company asked no subsidy
but merely the right to consolidate, and
a San Francisco man wanted to throw
restrictions around the bill to make it
imperative. He said California had
sent a lot of demagogues and sand-lot-
ters to Congress and that by their et-
forts the fourth section of the inter-
state commerce law had been enacted,
which cut off from San Francisco the
trade of five States and two Territories.
Senator Doty of Sacramento then
gave to the Southern Pacific Company
the severest drubbing that corporation
has received in a long time. He said
that he spoke as a plain farmer, and
not as a railroad attorney. He said that
the people here had suffered so severe
ly at the hands of the Southern Pacific
that they preferred a simple farmer in
the Legislature rather than railroad
attorney. and Sacramento was the head
center of the Southern Pacific. He said
that corporation had taken the cream
out of every industry in the State. He
wanted the people of the San Joaquin
Valley protected, for they had given
large subsidies to the competing line
that had been built. The people of the
State had had the very life crushed out
of them until they were restless. He
asserted that the bone and sinew of the
State, the farmers, had been paying
everything they received for their prod
ucts into the Southern Pacific, and they
were tired He did not propose to be a
party TO legislation that would enable
the elimination of competition.

WRIGHT'S WHITEWASH
BEING PREPARED
IN TWO CAMPS
Burns and Grant Forces Must Protect
the Speaker for Their
Own Good.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 23.-Indications tonight
are that the Assembly Committee of
Investigation appointed to inquire into
the conduct of Speaker Wright and the
corrupt use of money in the Senatorial
struggle will submit report this week.
The peculiar position of the Senatorial
fight may suggest union Of the Grant
and Burns forces in the task of coating
Wright with a double-thick coat of
whitewash.
The Grant managers may be forced
to take the position that Wright was
justified in accepting money for his
campaign expenses in order to shield
Grant from the stigma of resorting to
bribery. The supporters of Grant have
the greatest contempt for the Speaker,
but in order to protect their leader from
dishonor may be obliged to save the
Speaker from expulsion.
The Burns men have no admiration
for Wright. They know that he took
Grants money, and according to their
ethics should have stayed bought. .
Wright, however, is in the Burns camp
and is therefore entitled to the protec-
tion of the touts. Should a proposition
be made to expel the Speaker the Burns
men will be obliged to uphold him. The
Burns following and the Grant MEM
bers in the Assembly can control few
Democratic votes, and so working to-
gether will administer the whitewash.
The committee is we'll advised of the
condition of affairs in the Assembly
and will doubtless submit conclusions
of testimony without any recommen-
dation whatever.

BURNS CLAIMS TO BE
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 23.-The Senatorial situa-
tion is unchanged. The twenty eighth
ballot in joint assembly to-day did not
present a single break or variation in
the line. Burns has not receded from
his programme to call a caucus as soon
as conditions are favorable for obtain
ing the consent &c members to termin-
ate the struggle in that fashion. AS the
contest progresses the prospect of ad-
justment by the caucus plan diminishes.
The followers Of Grant, Bulla and
Barnes are determined to fight the bat
tie in the open. Burns BELIEVES that he
holds the key to the situation and has
resolved to defy the Legislature and the
State. His supporters assert with great
earnestness that the colonel will win
or prolong the struggle until the time
arrives for the Legislature to adjourn.
Herrin is said to be unyielding and will
stand by Burns until the latter con-
sents to retire.
The resentful and defiant attitude of
Burns is provoking Indignation among
conservative members of the Legisla-
ture. who believe that the time has
come for respecting the sentiments of
the people of California. Whatever the
touts may say among themselves in
secret they put on confident front in
the open, asserting that Burns firm
grasp of the situation will compel mem
bers to yield.
There is no let up in the tide of
remonstrance against Burns from the
people at home. The mails and the
wires carry daily messages to Senators
and Assemblymen urging them to fight

MLAUGHLIN SPITS
IN GOUCHER'S EYE
The Southerner Withdrew Without
Making an Attempt to
Retaliate.


CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 23.-"Mage" Mclaughlin
and w. H. Goucher of Los Angeles
came together tonight in the State
Central Committee headquarters at the
Golden Eagle Hotel and Major Nc
Laughlin spat in Mr. Goucher's eye.
Mr.. Goucher did not retaliate.
The Los Angelano is political
hanger-on who has infested committee
headquarters ever since his arrival in
town. A day or so ago Mclaughlin
heard that Goucher had been giving
tongue to allegations and charges that
did not suit the Mclaughlin palate and
the major promptly called him down.
To-day the same report was carried to
Mclaughlin and tonight while he was
standing in the committee rooms he
was approached by Goucher. Il un-
derstand you're looking for me- Quoth

Laughlin, and you get out of here as
fast as you can or I'll spit in your eye" "
"Well,' said Goucher, Il heard you
were looking for me and 1 am here
when you want me"
That settled it right there. The
major mustered all the strength of
his lungs, and the loquacious Southern
er backed away from the scene with a
damp handkerchief clamped to a
damper eye. You're a bigger man
than 1 am, anyway" he muttered.
well, 1 thought you had figured on
that when you came looking for me, ="
retorted Mclaughlin. ''II you haven't

choose"
Goucher departed, and up to the
time of going to press had not returned,

Burns to the finish. Burns managers
care very little what the people think
or say The public be damned" is
their motto in this fight.
Reports are brought to the colonel
from his friends who went to San
Francisco Saturday evening and re-
turned Sunday evening that a large
majority of the business men of the
metropolis favor the election of Burns.
Reports of this kind are circulated to
brace up the members from the coun-
try who are giving their support to
Burns.
Tonight the friends of Burns claim
that their candidate viii be able to get
a caucus before many days One of his
followers said The Republicans have
made mistake in not going into eau
Gus. Caucuses are a tradition with the
Republican party and they should be
adhered to. Had they been in the pres
ent instance the dirty linen of the party
would not have been washed in public
to the delectation of the Democrats"
1t was further claimed that Burns
had twelve or fifteen votes that would
come to him in secret caucus that he
could not get in the open. The Grant
men repelled caucus overtures as they
suspected that Burns had some mem
bers pledged for secret work who could
not be persuaded to publicly proclaim
their preference for the colonel"
The talk of the touts about the ira
ditions of the Republican party and the
cool assumption that the party should
be run in the interest of Burns furnish
a sample of the political impudence of
the Burns crowd. 1t is on a par with
the plea that the organization" is for
Burns. Barnes, Bulla, Grant and other
candidates are regarded as interlopers
in the Republican party.
AS the facts come to light regarding
the disbursement of money in Siskiyou
County it seems plain that Senator
Laird, who is now voting for Dan
Burns, got some Of the Benefits of the

A WARM SESSION
OVER RAILROADS
The Consolidation Measure
Brings Out Much Heated
Argument.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 29.-The Senate Commit
tee on Corporations had a warm session
this evening over Senate bill 81, which
enables the purchase or lease of rail-
road corporations created under the
laws of this or any other State or Ter
ritory or under the laws of the United
States and the consolidation of the rail-
roads so purchased or leased under one
corporate name.
Senator Braunhart stated that he
thanked God Henry T. Gage is the
Governor of the State" and he also said
that he thanked the Almighty that he
was going to protect the interests of the
people. He said that Gage had been
charged with being Southern Pacific
tool, but he knew now that he was
not. This came from Democratic SEN
ator and strong supporter OF the
Committee of One Hundred
Captain Sterry, the general solicitor
of the Santa Fe and Pacific road bv
consent stated succinctly the object of
the bill. The Santa Fe and Pacific
road is Federal corporation and the
bill as originally presented was to en-
able its consolidation with two State
corporations. That was absolutely all
there was to the bill.
Senator Braunhart introduced a sub
the life of the act which the Santa Fe
Company desires to three years and
adds provision that nothing con-
tanned in the act shall be construed as
authorizing or permitting the purchase
or lease by any railroad company of
any competing line of railroad and
provides further that in the event of
such sale or lease it shall be unlaw
ful to increase the rates of passenger
fares or freights above those now es-
tabl1shed, and in, no event shall such
rates be higher than the present fares
and freights. Senator Braunhart's sub
stitute bill provides further that moth
ing contained in it authorizes the sale
or lease of any railroad to a competing
company. The third clause of the sub
stltute bill provides that the grantee
shall carry out all contracts made by
the grantor in case of sale or lease. and
makes 1T unlawful for two or more cor
porations to combine or be Jointly inter
ested in any purchase, sale or lease of
any road, whether competitive or other
wise. The penalty for violation of the
act is forfeiture of franchise.
Captain Sterry stated that he would
prefer no legislation to that proposed
by the substitute. Under its terms. if

MENTO, Jan. 29.-If the bill which
Senator Stratton of Oakland will intro

MGLAUGHLIN'S BLUFF
THAT DIDN'T WORK

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Cal, Jan. 23.-Major McLaugh-
lin has evidently been delegated to bring
Assemblyman George Radcliff Of Santa
Cruz into the Burns camp if he has to
use a club to do it. He has so far tried
everything from moral suasion to out
and out hold-up, with the only result that
Radcliff is still voting for Grant.
His latest attempt is more far reaching
and decidedly more complex than any
that have come before it, and involves the
Seaside City'S hopes of military glory as
AS was well known TO Mclaughlin, Rad
cliff came TO Sacramento pledged to in
troduce bill into the Assembly that was
to have for its object the establishment of
a State militia encampment at Santa
Cruz. The city is the owner of Laveaga
Heights, magnificent stretch of Wood
land overlooking Monterey Bay, and this
property it wanted to offer to the State
for military purposes.
1t would further agree to lay necessary
water pipes, do the grading, provide light
ing and everything else necessary to a
model camp of instruction. Radcliff was
informed that ex-DistrIct Attorney Lind
thought it was time for the bill to arrive
he sought out Mclaughlin and asked him
how he stood Mclaughlin told him that
until he came to time and voted for the
Mexican candidate he would never get his
bill through the Legislature. 1t was a
bluff on the Majors part, for 1t has been
amply demonstrated that all the votes
Burns is controlling is scant one-third.
He attempted to make it good by calling
Lindsay to this city. Lindsay had the
bill in his pocket when he arrived, but
after arguing with Radcliff and finding
him obdurate he returned to Santa Cruz,
only to return a second time for the same
purpose.
Meanwhile the press of that town got
to asking why Radcliff had not PRODUCED
his bill, and he wrote bacA and told the
truth of the matter. The on-politicians
of the town got together and Lindsay
finally yielded to public opinion and the
bill arrived here last night. Mclaughlin
was also called down by his townspeople,
and will throw no obstacles in the path
of the measure, which was regularly in
troduced in the Assembly this morning.

that the Southern Pacific paid out in
Sacramento $270,OOO every month.
Yes, and they take twice that
amount away from us" said Senator
Doty.
Senator Braunhart grew warm in an
sWering MorehOuse. He resented the
charge that he was a demagogue and
said that he had introduced his sub
stitute for the reason that ne thought
there was Trojan horse in the original
bill.
Senator ShOrtridge pleaded for time to
consider the substitute and it was given
him. The committee will again take I'D

ATTENTION! MIR. DEsKY.
Wel-wisher Offers a Suggestion You
Will Approve.

EDITOR STAR:-Under the care and
earnest attention of Mr. Desky, the
audiences at the Orpheum have been
brought to a paying basis. Time and
money have been spent in getting the
best talent from the mainland, to
amuse the public. The character of the
plays has been exempt from anything
approaching the immoral, and as a re-
suit the best people of the community
do not hesitate to attend.
But there is being violated one of Mr..
Deskys orders, and close observance
will notice that the abuse Is on the in
crease, much to the annoyance Of Ia
dies who attend l refer to smoking,
which on last evening was being car
ried on quite extensively. Not only was
there smoking scattered through the
audience quite numerously, but also in
one of the boxes the rule was preslst-
emily violated during the entire play.
Mr.. Desky was present, but was bus
lily engaged and perhaps this will ac-
count for the violation of the rule last
evening. For the good name of the
Orpheum, and the comfort of the ladies
who attend, may Mr.. DeskY's orders
against smoking be vigorously enforc-
ed. WELL-WISHER.
