MENTO, March 3.-Senator Leavitts
Oakland harbor bill came up on the Sen
ate special file in the Assembly this af-
ternoon and Wright of Alameda offered
two amendments to it, which the promot-
ers of the measure and the people of Oak
land considered advisable.
The first amendment so changes the de-
scription of the property over which the
proposed Harbor Commissioners shall
have control that it does not tend to con-
firm titles claimed to certain sections of
the front by private parties. Under the
amendment the description is as follows:
Section 5. The said commissioners, for the
purposes in this act provided shall have pos
session and control and jurisdiction over all the
right title and interest which the people of
the State of California or the city of Oakland,
or any other municipality, now has may
hereafter have within all any of the follow
ing described lands. waters and premises to

present northern boundary line Of the town of
Berkeley with the line of ordinary high tide

primary bill has become a law 1t was
signed by the Governor this morning and
during the afternoon his message of APP
prevail was transmitted to the Senate. 1t
Is one of the most important of the cleo
ton measures that have been before this
Legislature, and according to its author
it is the best primary law in the coun-
try.
The most prominent feature of the act
is that it requires that every nominating
convention shall be formed by primary
election, thus knocking out any commit
tees of one hundred, or appointed
bodies controlled by one man or set of
men. 1t provides for an election con-
Quoted just as Is the general election,
with the same register and the same pre-
cautions to secure secrecy. the only prac-
teal difference being the ballot used
for the writing in by the voter of the
names of those he wishes TO see in the
convention of his party. State, munich
pal, county and district conventions are
all down on the ballot and there is a
space for the conventions of each of the
parties which cast at least 3 per cent of
The vote AT the preceding election To
make sure, however, that nobody votes
for any candidates except those of his
own party it is expressly provided that If
any ballot bears the names of candidates
for different political conventions it shall
be disregarded in the count. 1t follows
from this that If a man starts to vote for
the candidates of one party for one con-
Vention he must vote for the candidates of
the same party for the other conventions

whatever party candidates he wishes, but

fiscal year, and that the Governor must
then call an extra session and they VIII
all receive their mileage and per diem,
and be enabled to not only get the APP
preparation bill through, but call up their
own pet measures if the Governor can be
induced to include general legislation IN
his call.
They have argued that the one impor-
tant duty of the Legislature is to elect a
Senator, and that it is demonstrated that
this cannot be done. Loudly they have

o'clock this afternoon the touts were as
surfing each other that the success of the
job was assured.
1t might have been but for a slip made
by one of the ringleaders at a meeting to-
day of the Assembly Committee on Rules.
Enough of the inside of the job was
thrown down inadvertently to set on foot
an investigation. 1t began among the
Democrats first, then it became noised
abroad. and there are few in either house
tonight of either party who are not in
formed of every detail. They all. how
ever. disclaim belief that Governor Gage
has knowingly lent himself to the further
ance of the MeXiCan's plan, although he
was scheduled to play the leading part
and make the whole scheme operative by
calling an extra session.
With this session adjourned sine die to-
morrow Dan Burns would have two
months at least, it was figured, to send
his agents to the home of every repre-
sentative in the State. Every pull and
corporate influence the Mexican controls
or can borrow could be quietly used to
get an agreement to caucus on the Sen
atorial question as soon as the extra ses-
sion should be called. That Dan Burns
might reasonably look to such an agree
ment is demonstrated by the overwhelrn-
ing influence he has brought to hear here
to bring men to his way of thinking at
a time and place where every move has
been watched and chronicled. Under
cover of the privacy of their homes they
might be expected to consent to a plan

Antonio on and along the line of ordinary high
tide as it existed previous to artificial filling on

The second amendment creates q new
section to the bill as follows:
Nothing contained in this act shall be con-
strued TO divest the city of Oakland to any
title to, interest in or right of control over
said premises except so far as may be neces-
sary to the exercise by said Board of Harbor
Commissioners of the powers hereby conferred
upon them.
The amendments were adopted and the

consideration. 1t is bulky document,

opposed by Bulla and Shortridge, and was

The present law compels Supervisors TO
advertise for all work of a greater value
than $500, and compels the drawing of

Says He Received Money as an individual

sets ms an Outsider.

The answer of Cadet Taylor, Henry o.
DevrieS and the Globe Loan and Trust COM
pany in the suit of James NJ Weckerly, a
depcsitor in the defunct Globe Savings bank,
has been filed in the district court. The
plaintiff by his attorneys Messrs. Wakeley
q Cooley, sued on bond given by Taylor
and Deyries when they were allowed by
the State Banking board to take charge of
the assets of the Globe Savings bank to ad-
minister them. The defenSes to the action
are the invalidity of the bond and the ex-
istence of several unsatished judgments said
to be liens on the assets and to have pre-
vented their sale.
The principal defense, however, Is that
respecting the binding force of the bond
which Taylor and DevrIes, as officers OF
the bank, themselves gave to protect de-
positors and other creditors. The answer
Of the defendants admits the making of
the bond in the sum Of 1000 the con-
dtion of which was that DevreS and Taylor
president and vice president of the bank
should retain the assets and make full set
tlement with depositors and all other cred
itors within three years. The objection
that the defendants raise to the enforcement
of the bond is to say the least, unusual
1t is that the defendants have not been
able to fulfill the bond because the assets
did not come into their possession, but that
Taylor as an individual took the property
and that they have therefore been unable
to settle the liabilities of the bank On
this point the answer filed reads as follows:
But in fact the assets, nor any portion
thereof, were ever turned over TO said II.
o. Deyries as president and Cadet Taylor
as vice president of said Globe Savings
bank, but were in tru,h turned over by
order OF the clerk Of the State Banking board

any part OF same has ever come into pos
session of said officers named in said bond
and for whose actions these sureticS became

bond never obtained possession Of said as
sets nor have they retained the possession
Of any part thereof, These defendants ad-
NIT that c. f. McGrew was state bank ex-
amlner and that as such he took possession
OF said Globe Savings bank as alleged and
under the order Of said clerk of said banking
board he turned all the assets Of the bank
over to one Cadet Taylor, but not to the
officers named in said bond, as by the
terms of ead bond was required, and the

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In.
crease of Heart Trouble.

crease of Heart Trouble.
Heart trouble at least among the Ameri-
cans, is certainly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry OF American business life, 1t is more
often the result of weak stomachs OF poor
digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable but not
one case in hundred OF heart trouble Is
organic,
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves. the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is affected
by the form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food, There is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness in tho chest caused by pressure
OF the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making 1t thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals OF some safe. pleasant and effective
digestive preparation like Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable.
harmless digestive elements in pleasant.
convenient form.
II is safe to say that the regular persist
ent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form OF stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.

by druggists at 80 cents. Little book on
