A VETO FOR THE
DAIRY INSPECTION
Governor Gage Picks Many
Flaws in Senator Dick
inSOn'S Measure.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March 6-The Governor has We
toed Senator Dckinsons bill providing
for a bureau of dairy inspection, and in
long message picks flaws in nearly all the
provisions of the measure.
The bill provides that no dairy products
nor beef shall be sold from herd af-
fected with Texas or splenetic fever. In
his veto message the Governor declares
that this works great hardship on herd
owners in the southern portion of the
State In discussing the disease he says
the southern cattle are not susceptible to
the ravages of the fever. They may be
infected and may even be capable of
transmitting the disease to other cattle
but it hurts neither their milk nor their
flesh; and to prohibit the sale of their
products would work a hardship, unjust
and unnecessary, upon them.
Again the Governor objects to that pro-
vision which prohibits the sale of prod
ucts from cattle affected with contagious
pleuro-pneumonia. The Governor says
there is no pleuro- pneumonia in the
State, and to have it included in the bill
is a tacit admission that il does act
ually exist here. He believes this i'm
preston would do much harm to the
market for California cattle abroad, and

MERCHANTS AFRAID OF
AN OBSCURE CLAUSE

Several of the measures now pending
before the Legislature contain clauses re-
ferring to railroad corporations and
transportation companies operating lines
in the State-innocent clauses apparently,
but in several instances so constructed as
to be capable of various interpretations
One of these measures in particular.
bill introduced in the Senate by Senator
Braunhart, contains a provision that IN
the case of a railroad corporation pur-
chasing the property of another corpora
ton of a similar character the rates IN
effect on the lines of the purchased road
shall not be changed. 1t is whispered
that this is an attempt to take the con-
troll of all the railroads in the state out
of the hands of the State authorities, IN
asmuch as legislation cannot be MADE. 10
apply to one road alone. The Dill IS sup
posed to refer to the purchase OF the val
ley road by the Santa Re, and 1t is ar
glied that if the Railroad Commissioners
are shorn of authority to regulate the
rates of that road their authority to reg
ulate rates on all other lines will cease
to the attention of the Merchants Asso-
citation yesterday afternoon, and while
there was no direct evidence that sucn
was the intent of Braunharts Dill IL was
deemed the part of wisdom to take pre-
cautions TO prevent the passage OF any
measure which might conflict with the
cordingly, the following telegram was as
patched to the chairmen of the Senate
and Assembly judiciary COHllHltlSeS ei4Iu
to certain members of the Legislature:

quiet talk. Only after the warmest argu-
ment, both in open and executive session,
was the committee permitted to bring in
a recommendation that the bill pass.
Caminetti of Amador was the sole oppo-
nent to the measure and he based his fight
on the idea that the bill would permit the
Southern Pacific to get control of the
Santa Fe's proposed extension.
Colonel E. F. Preston of San Francisco
appeared as representative for the Santa
Fe and San Joaquin Valley people. In
speaking to the measure he called atten-
ton to the incalculable relief which the
Santa Fe would bring to the shippers of
the State by bringing in competing line.
He spoke of the money that would be put
in circulation by the purchase and subse-
quent maintenance of the branch roads
and their ramificatoins It will bring into
the State, he said, new blood and new
capital.
1.-THE present law said Colonel Pres
franchises. but the Santa Fe and Pacific.
between Mojave and The Needles, is OPP;
Grating under a Federal franchise and
over that this State. has no jurisdiction
under present conditions It is to enable
the Santa Fe people to make use of this
franchise and to consolidate as system
of it's own the rights and privileges it
proposes to buy.
Mr. Caminetti broke in on Mr.. Preston
at this point to ask If the State Board of
Railroad Commissioners would not lose Its
right to revise or repeal the franchises in
question if they were transferred under
the provisions of the proposed law.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-03-07

he did not want to approve the bill so
long as it included such a provision.
The Governor further objects to the lat
itude allowed the bureau provided for by
the bill in the appointment of agents and
veterinary surgeons. The bureau is al
lowed twenty agents at 81 a day and five
veterinary. surgeons at IS day. This
expense of $120 a day. the Governor de-
clares, is exorbitant and will soon eat up
the funds allowed the bureau. Another
objection which the Governor finds to the
bill is that while it is provided that the
bureau should be formed of practical
dairymen, the work it is desired it should
perform is properly the work of medical
experts.
In conclusion, the Governor recon-
mends that another bill be drawn on the
same subject, as it is one of great impor-
lance. In pursuance of this suggestion
Senator Dickinson is preparing another
bill in accordance with the suggestions OF
the Governor. amending the references To
the diseases the Governor mentioned, and
placing the matter of prevention and
remedying in the hands of the State quar-
antine system, provided for in bill al
ready passed by the Senate.
The rules were suspended and the veto
was sustained by the Senate in order to
clear the way for the Introduction Of the
substitute bill now under preparation.

A Strong Disposition Among the Members to
RGbuke Interference.
THE TREND SEEMS TOWARD BARNES
Santa Barbara Advises Her Representatives to Go From
Grant to the General if It Can Be Done Without
Aiding Burns.

The Grant people are on good terms
with the Barnes and Scott supporters.
There is no doubt in my mind that be-
fore the session ends these members
will endeavor to unite on one of these
three candidates, and If an agreement
cannot be reached a new candidate will
be brought out on whom all the forces
can unite"
In the general conversation tonight
Senator Smith had nothing to say det-
ripental to the aspirations of Burns
further than to signify that the conclu-
sion had been accepted by the support
ers of Grant, Barnes and Scott that
Burns election to the Senatorship was
not desired by the people of the State,
and therefore should not be accom-
pEshed.
Irving NJ. Scott, who has been laid up
with grip for several days, will proba-
bly, arrive here from San Francisco to-
morrow.
1t transpires late tonight that the
Burns touts are seeking by intrigue
with Democratic legislators to bring
about adjournment of the Legislature
Saturday of this week. The offer was
made to the Democrats that If they
would consent to the early adjournment
the bills to reOrganiZe the Harbor
Commission and the Bank Commission
would be defeated. The purpose of the
proposed early adjournment is TO arouse
demand for an extra session, and
pending the assembly of the Legisla-
ture in special session the Burns man
ayers would be able to lay wires and
devise plans to capture a sufficient
number of legislators to either elect
Burns or some other candidate accept
able to the railroad company and the
machine.
The Republicans in the Legislature
who came here to perform their duty
to the people were quick to drop on to
the Burns scheme to adjourn. To-day
a conference of Republican Senators
was held, and it was practically re-
solved to adjourn Saturday, March IS.
This arrangement will give the Senate
ample time to consider the general ap-
preparation bill and permit the Assem-
bly, to give the county government bill
such consideration as it deserves. The
Legislature will also have time to con-
slider the tax levy and the constitu-
tionaI amendments relating to the
Court of Appeals.
The Call is in possession of definite
information which justifies the state
ment that the Legislature will adjourn
Saturday March IS.

CONSOLIDATION
BILL FAVORED
Caminetti Made a Strong but
Intellectual Fight Against
the Measure.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March 6.-The Judiciary Com
mittee of the Assembly held a special
meeting at 1870 o'clock this afternoon to
consider Senate bill 27. a substitute for a
bill by Valentine of Los Angeles.
The bill is designed to permit the Santa
Fe system to utilize the franchises of the
Santa Fe and Pacific Railroad Company

Southern Pacific between Mojave and Ba-
kersfeld, the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
Company between Bakersfield and San
Francisco and the Southern California
Railway between Los Angeles and Bars

A Cheap Pretty Bed Valance.

Brass beds are incomplete without a
valance of some kind as a finishing
touch, and this should harmonic with
CIR be of the same material as the other
trappings of the, bed. There is a lad
now among fashionable people to
drape beds in heavy effects and rather
dark colorings, a Persian or Indian
shaw! being considered most des1ra-
BILE; but many Of US still retain the
prejudice in favor of inviting white
beds, especially where n Is not
obliged to make the one piece serve as
a divan by day and a bed by night.
Cleanliness is a necessary adjunct TO
bed fittings, and these should be so
constructed that they may be frequent
ly removed, shaken or laundered, and
easily replaced. The simplest way OF
adjusting a valance Is to spread
smoothly between the spring and the
mattress a fairly heavy cotton sheet;
to this is basted the valance, which Is
already cut and finished to the right
depth; also fulled on a coarse drawing
thread. 1t should be slit up n
hemmed at the corners to admit Of Its
passing smoothly around the posts OF
the bedstead, and in most cases 1t
need be on but three sides of the bed,
as the head is generally against the
wall. After being basted firmly 1t Is
stitched by machine. when 1t is In con-
dition to be removed and done up al
most as easily as an. ordinary sheet.
Shield-p pins holding it to the spring at
each corner keep it in place during the
daily process of turning the mattress
above 1t. The fullness allowed should
oe almost once and a half that of the
measurement around the bed. The ma
terials selected may be cretonne, dim
ity or any goods preferred that is ap-
propriate to whatever style of quilt
and shams or pillow roll may be in
use. A simple and pretty one with an
ordinary Marseil!es' spread is Of tam

the advantage Of being finished top
and bottom, requiring only the work
of hemming the instead Of
making the whole thing, unless 1t is
too deep, when the top may be turned
over, or some tucks put in to shorten
It and really add to the effect. A sim

material is stretched across the pill

the whole will be found dainty and
practicable and preferable to more ex-
pensive and less washable valances.
b Lace Stole.

A lace stole is as popular as the lace
Jacket. The little garment is generally
made with the two long ends falling
from a lace yoke. One exhibited with
the Ascot gowns was of malines, over
a frock of pink mousseline. The frock
was quite simple, trimmed only by
several rufles at the bottom. It had
tight sleeves with a full ruf1e at the
elbow. On the front Of the stole, be-
tween the two ends, was q rosette Of
black tulle, with a straw center. These
same little garments in black lace are
pretty and useful.
