SACRAMENTANS SAVE
THEIR DEBT COMMISSION

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. S.-The fact that something
unusual was doing in Sacramento muni-
cipal affairs was apparent this evening,
when a number of citizens, headed by
the committee room where the Assembly
Judiciary Committee was holding its
nightly session, and when later another
faction of Sacramento citizens also filed
into the room.
The occasion of all this array of Sacra-
mento people was the consideration of a.
bill by the committee which provides for
the redemption of the funded indebted
proximately ,0OO The bill indirectly
calls for the abolition of the funded debt
commission, which has been in office since
the debt was incurred and over the aboli-
ton of which the discomfort is occa-
stoned.
son, the matter came first and both sides
of the question were heard, after which a
general discussion took place, and for a
while it looked as though there might be
personal violence. A settlement was fin-
ally reached when Assemblyman Conrey
suggested that instead of abolishing the
commission Immediately the adjustment

those wishing the continuance of the com
mission declared that the debt could he
paid before that time. The COMMITTEES at
tached an amendment to the bill and re-
ported favorably upon the measure
A number of bills of minor Importance
also came before the committee and were
acted upon. Owing to a misunderstanding
the Stanford University bill will not come
up until tomorrow night.

DEV0T0 WOULD ABOLISH
THE GARBAGE CREMATORY

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. S.-Assemblyman Devote
of San Francisco introduced a bill which,
If passed, will bring lasting peace and joy
to the residents of the Mission District in
San Francisco.
The bill provides that no person, firm or
company shall operate a garbage crema-
tory in such close proximity to any city
or town that the inhabitants thereof shall
be placed in danger of disease from the
fumes and smoke of such crematory. 1t
was referred to the Committee on Public
Health and Quarantine.
. Assemblyman Henry of San Francisco
introduced yet another bill prohibiting the
manufacture, sale and operation of
nickel-in-the-Slot machines. 1t went to
the Committee on Public Morals.
Assemblyman Greenwich offered a bill
which is designed to protect the pheasant
and "bob- white" which the Game Com
missioners have lately introduced in this
State. The bill provides that no pheasant
or "bob-white" shall be taken. or killed
within this State from April l.. 1899, to
April 1. 1903. 1t was referred to the Com
mittee on Fish and Game.
AS a substitute for the bills introduced
by Dibble and E. D. Sullivan Of San
Francisco, to create a State Board of
Charities, the Committee on Commissions
and Public Expenditures offered a substi-
tute comprehending the best points of the
original bills. The bill carries an appro-
priation of $4,000 and was referred to the
Ways and Means Committee.

the election of any other aspirant than
Grant gives some ground for the belief
that the colonel and the statesman
from San Diego may agree to withdraw
in order that one more Senator may be
added to the Republican membership
in the United States Senate. Word
comes from Washington that the Re-
publicans there are anxious that the
California Republicans should find
some acceptable candidate. 1t is said
that failure to elect will be charged to
the Republican State organization.
It is clear to every observer whose
judgment is impartial and whose OBJ
servation is alert, that neither Grant
nor Burns can win out. It is not GER
tain that the elimination of either
would break the deadlock. For exam
Pile, if Grant should withdraw and his
whole strength of twenty-eight be cast
for BuIa, as a Southern man, and II
Scott's two votes should go the same
way, Bulla, including his own thirteen,
would muster only forty-three votes.
:" The talk about a scattering OF Cen
eral Barnes immortal eleven is wild
fancy-an iridescent dream. The fact
is that the men who are voting for
Barnes went to his standard Of their
own choice, without hope of patronage,
reward or party favor. If they had
gone under conditions or by some other
pressure than their own judgment, a
break might be expected. Barnes men
are as solid in his support as ever, and
should a break occur in the Grant
camp the general would get large re-

:. .AIENTO, Feb. S.-Speaker Anderson to-
day appointed Assemblymen Belshaw,
= Works and Boone, and Doctors w. H.
Baldwin, G. L. Simmons and w. F.
Wizard, a committee TO call upon Mil
ton ]. Green, Mr.. Grants political man
ager. to discover just how i'll Mr.. Green
has been.
simultaneously with the appointment
of the committee the Grant people
spread the report that Mr.. Green had
decided to appear before the bar of the
Assembly and take whatever dose that
body has mixed for him.
When the Grant people were closely
questioned none of them would admit
that Mr.. Green had said this himself,
but they said they had heard it indi-
rectly and were confident that he would
be on hand.
Later in the day Green himself gave
out the statement that he had decided
to come TO the front, but he also said
he would again refuse to answer the
questions that have been put to him.
On that score, it is said, the commit
tee proposes to deal with him at some
length, and it proposes further to look
into the rather startling disclosures
made yesterday on the floor of the AS
:sembly by Jilson of Siskiyou, who, in
the course of a general confession, said
The San Francisco call., 1899-02-09

that Green had given him $400, to be
used in the campaign and had asked
him to sign contract to vote for u. S.
Grant for Senator. Jilson said further
that Mr.. Green had with him at the
time contracts signed by other mem
bers Of the Assembly, and this matter,
one of the committee said to-day,
would probably be thoroughly investi-
gated within the next few days.
When Mr.. Jilson made that state
ment yesterday it was not in the eX-
citement of the moment or anything
of the sort. He says he thought it was
matter that should come out and he
is willing to stand by every statement
he made.
If the Grant people are expecting it
is homeopathic dose that will be ad-
ministered to Mr.. Green when he
turns up on Friday, they are doomed to
disappointment, if the present tenor of
the House goes for aught. The state
ment sent out by him to-day that he
would appear but would persist in his
refusal to answer questions served only
to make the feeling against him
stronger although a majority Of the
members are willing to wager tonight
that instead of Green there will come
another certificate of i'll health.
The investigating committee met to-
day informally to begin the work of
tabbing up its expense BILL and will
meet again tomorrow to complete that
end of its report.

reading file Senate bill 476 and place 1T IN
the position of Senate bill 19, which is
high up on the third reading file, No. IS

Laird wanted toAdo this by an urgency

the trick was or viii be accomplished in
another way. BY Senator Leavitt's mo-

second time, and tomorrow 1t will ap-

The bills are the wide tire bills, reg
ulating the tread Of wheels. on heavy wag

an amendment to the bill suspending its
provisions at an altitude of 1000 feet, but
finally it was voted down.
Beyond the debate over Stratton's pri-
mary election bill there was little done by
the Senate. Assembly bill No. 2, provid-

under which the work is made more
dangerous by inefficient or negligent man
agement and improper appliances. He

church property from taxation came be-
fore the Judiciary Committee of the Sen
ate this evening. It's consideration occli-
pied but a few minutes, and after being
amended it was ordered recommended to
the Senate for passage. The amendment
was meant TO apply to buildings used for
religious purposes, but rented from others
md for which rent is being paid The
amendment excepts these from the pro-
visions of the bill exempting church prop
trty.
Constitutional amendment IA, introduced
by Senator Taylor, was also ordered re-
ported favorably. There is more in this
than appears on the surface; Article 13
Of the constitution, which Taylor's
amendment affects, regulates the taxa
ton of city and county bonds. Taylor
proposes to exempt such bonds. There
are 81, 900 900 in county bonds, he argued

BANKS WANT THE USE
OF PUBLIC FUNDS

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. S.-The Assembly Commit
tee on Banks and Banking met this morn
ing and considered bill 2S5, allowing City
or County Treasurers to deposit public
funds paid into their hands in public
banks. Considerable opposition on the
part of some of the members Of the COM
mittee existed, making it apparent that
they had been talked to regarding the bill.
The law as 1t now stands compelS the
Treasurer to deposit the funds in a special
deposit vault and in some cases the
money amounts to hundreds of thousands
of dollars. The bankers wish to have the
use of this money; but by the resentment
shown to this on the part of some of the
members of the committee 1T is very
doubtful if the measure will become a
law. The committee decided to await
the appearance before 1t OF Assemblyman
Melick, who introduced the measure.

occupied the morning session. The bill
was brought up on the third reading file,
and at once Senator Shortridge was on
This feet He seemed to favor the bill for
about ten minutes, and then he announced
that he would oppose the law. He re-
ferred to the bill which came up in the
Legislature two years ago and which, af
ter passing the lawyers of the committees
and the lawyers of both houses of the
Legislature, the Supreme Court picked
about thirty holes In, and after declaring
1t unconstitutional laid it aside because
the court had no more time.
He denounced the bill because he said it
was expensive, and then, finding there
were to be no salaries of officials, he de-
clared II unconstitutional because men
were required to work without pay.
Senator Davis spoke earnestly in favor
of the bill, and then Senator Simpson
Stratton then took the floor in defense
of his measure. He said the bill was
framed to meet the demand of all polit-
cal parties and at their instigation and in
pursuance of resolutions adopted at all
the conventions He declared his bill was
simple, inexpensive and would correct. the
evils of the primaries. which all were
anxious to see abolished. He believed it
was good bill and was constitutional.
A rollcaIl showed the passage of the
bill by vote of 81 TO 2. Mr.. Shortridge
was one of the two and Cutter who had,
said nothing in, debate, was the other.
Simpson, who had spoken twice against
the measure with all the burning oratory
of the, sunny south, voted aye and helped
the bill TO pass

were taken up in the afternoon. Senate

QUARANTINE OF CATTLE
CONSIDERED A HARDSHIP
HEADQUARTERS

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. S.-A petition from his con-
stituents was submitted to the Senate this
afternoon by Senator Laird. The docu-
ment relates to the injustice of the quar-
antine laws on domestic animals The pc
tition sets forth that the petitioners can
not protect their cattle from disease be-
cause the Federal Government cannot and
the State Government has not passed
proper quarantine laws The Federal
quarantine for animals may be put upon
a State, but not upon section of State,
and the State laws are inadequate to pro-
tect any particular section from adjoining
infection, nor can they prevent. the COM
ing or going of cattle in the infected dis
tricts. The petitioners ask that the State
Board of Health be empowered to declare
a quarantine against any district where
infection exists. They also ask that the
laws be so shaped that the Federal Gov
ernment may quarantine any infected sec
ton of the State The petition was in
duced by the prevalence OF splenetic fever
in some localities in the northern part of
the State.

to the fact that many of the bonds were
held outside of the State, and others were
otherwise inaccessible. He therefore con-
tended that 1t would be better to exempt
the bonds. The Importance of the meas
ure was shown when he went on to eX-
plain that should the bonds be exempted
the interest would be decreased proper
tionately, the holder being released from
the burden of taxation, not a heavy one,
ana the consequent reduction in the inter-
est on every bond would practically
amount to the tax, and more, and the loss
IN taxes would be saved elsewhere
The question of taxing the stock of ma
tional banks in California was argued be-
%ren f9re tn the - committee S1nI1. by Assemblyman
sembly bill 25O. Under present conditions
none of the property of national banks
except. real estate is taxed in this State
while in the commercial banks practically
everything but the stock is taxed. Bytne
provisions of the bill the stock OF the
national banks is proposed for taxation in
ferent institutions. Senator Wolfe sug-
gested an amendment taxing all bank
stock, but this was not accepted and the
pliI was recommended for passage as
passed by the Assembly.
Senator Braunhart's constitutional
amendment to allow the adoption of
amendments. to charters and charters
themselves by a majority of the votes
cast for such amendment or charter, in

of the voters at the last election was also
allowed.
