Various opinions have been expressed as
to the legal status of the case presented
by the death of Mr.. Edwards. Governor
Budd could have appointed a successor,
but has generously waived that
ernor-elect Gage. 1t is contended
that Mr.. Chesebrough could remain in
his post until the election of q member in

Chesebrough assert that he will not hold
the office any longer than is necessary to
enable the man Governor Gage appoints

The best news of the day in connection
with the changes in the State Capitol to-
day was the announcement by Secretary
of State Curry of his appointments. One
is that of keeper of archives, carrying a

orally supposed that Mr.. Curry would ap-
point A j. Rhoads, the well-known Re

QUICK WORK DONE
IN THE ORGANIZATION

CALL HEADQUARTERS sACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 2.-The Legislature to-day
made a record for speed in organizing
that will be hard to surpass. There is no
special significance in the rush, but one
result of to-day's rapid work will be the
disposal of the Senatorial contest a week
earlier than it would have been settled
had the organization been delayed for one
The rumor went around for several
weeks that Burns and his touts were
seeking to delay organization in order to
postpone the first ballot for United States
Senator until Tuesday, January II. The
provisions regulating the election of
United States Senator'S are embodied in
the Federal constitution and cannot be
changed by act of the Legislature. The
Legislature now organized shall. accord
ing to the constitution, cast its first ballot
for United States Senator on Tuesday,
January 10. The first ballot will be taken
in each house separately. On the follow
ing day the two houses must ballot in
joint convention, and at least one ballot
a day shall be taken until choice is
made.
1t transpires now that none of the Sena-
toriaI aspirants advocated delay. A mem
Der of the Legislature who is non-com-
initial in his talk with reporters. but
whose sympathies are known to be for
Dan Burns. said to-day:
Burns was never in favor of delaying
the organization. but he allowed reports
that he desired delay in order TO recruit his
strength to be circulated without denial.
Last Saturday. however, he sent word to
his friends advising them to consult the
wishes of other aspirants. and II the other
candidates wanted % go ahead and organ
ize on the first day of the session to get

PATRONAGE MAY
BRING ABOUT TROUBLE
The Belshaw Law Does Not Give
Enough to Satisfy the Law
Makers

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 2.-Patronage was the sub
ject of the Republican caucus that follow
ed the afternoon session of the Assembly
and patronage Just at this writing bids
fair to create a Republican minority in the
House that will join forces with the Dem
ocratic delegation in defense of the Bel
shaw law regulating and restricting leg
islative patronage.
The Belshaw law is on its first trial in
the present session, and though IL has
been already wrung dry. it has produced
only 81 worth of patronage per diem to
each member. and. as it is figured by a
majority in the caucus. 81 worth lacks
about two-thirds of being enough.
AS a consequence. the ak is out for the
Belshaw law and there is mighty power
behind II. Belshaw himself acknowledges
that his bill possibly has too great restric-
tons. and that the smooth working of the
Assembly will require more employees
than it permits of: but he is not going to
stand for more than enough to do prac-
tical business with. Against it's annihila-
ton he is prepared to make the fight of

The San Francisco delegation, how
ever wants to go the whole swine or

of its ranks when the proposition was
broached yesterday in caucus In fact the
San Francisco delegation talked the matter
over before 1t ever foregathered here for
the session Of so, and it arrived at the
Capitol with a prcarranged plan to repeal
the law in its entirety If the votes could
be mustered.
The proposition was introduced in eau
Gus Yesterday afternoon by the patronage
committee appointed on Sunday evening
Apparently no one was directly RESPONSE
BILE for it, and when the country members
got inquisitive no one would stand for it.
The San Francisco delegation, however
pressed the proposition warmly from the
start ard only cooled off when Belshaw
mustered his supporters and opened his
defense. After an hours warm parley
Belshaw agreed that the present list of at
taches 1t not large enough for regular bust
ness purposes and said he would agree to
n sufficient increase to bring the daily
Assembly expenses under the head of en-
ployes up TO $400 per day il the San Fran
cisco crowd would agree to not go be-
yond that figure. The San Frauciscans
would make no tacit agreement, but per
mitted the idea to circulate that they
were satisfied and in that indefinite CON
dition the matter was allowed to go over
until tomorrow morning.

spots in the law by drawing up q resolu-

OFFICIALS WILL GET PAY
FOR THEIR FULL TERM

CALI. HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 2.-Attorney General w. f.
Fitzgerald, just before retiring from office,
rendered a decision which affects every
county and State officer in so far as their
terms of office are concerned.
The effect Of the decision of the Attor-
ney General is that no matter what day
of the month the first Monday in JAM
uary falls upon the term of State and
county official is for full annual period,
and il cannot be curtailed or cut short by
q few days owing to the day of the month
the first Monday in January of the year
of the commencement of the term falls
upon.
For instance, in 1895. when the State
officers who retired to-day entered office
the first Monday in January fell upon the
seventh day of the month. This year
when they retired, the first Monday fell
on the second Of the month. The queS-
tion with State Controller Colgan was,
were the retiring officials entitled to re-
ceive compensation for the fun four
year period when they retired from office
to-day, five days short of the four years
service.
matter when tho term of State or coun-
ty officer expires, if 1t be short or full, the
officer is entitled to and should receive
the full compensation allowed him by the
statute or the constitution.
The Attorney General refers to an opin-
ion he gave some time ago covering the
term of Office of a Superior Judge, and
states tnat tDdl OplilloH CONtIS lIle cases
of State officials. In that opinion Mr.
Fitzgerald held:
~ am of the opinion that the term of
office of Superior Judge should be COM
put6d by including the first Monday of
January in which his term begins and
excluding the first Monday of January
when his term expires. This computa-
ton of the term of Superior Judge is
given in@the case of the Merced Bank VS.

Xxx of the constitution reads: Six years.

election of such officer To and excluding

thereafter, and that such officer is not
entitled to payment of salary for longer
