FENDER BILL GETS
A LITTLE SETBACK

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March 6-The ball was opened
in the Assembly this morning with SeEa-
tor Braunhart's fender BILL which went
on the file on Saturday as unfinished
business.
O'Brien of San Francisco wished to Of
fer the amendment which ne OF
feed and withdrew for correction
when the bill was last consid-
cred, but he was opposed by Dibole'
who claimed that the previous question
had been called for by him on Saturday
and ordered by the Speaker ana that the
previous question was upon the final pas
sage of the bill and an amendment OF
consequence was not in order.
White of San Francisco took issue Win
Dibble on the parliamentary point he
said he had sought advice on the question
since Saturday and had as we'll consulted
the highest authorities in the Legislature
and after much thought he was OF the
opinion that the previous question was
on OBriens original motion to amend
and appoint a committee OF one TO at
tend to IT.
Dibble Indignantly asserted that he was
the highest authority in the state on
parliamenltary iaW ana as ind bv e the 1eu Ts
sounding chuckle of ASSemblyman Eoey,
Dibble receded nicely from his position
nv asking that the Speaker rescind the
nit O'Brien to amend. O'Brien handed
up the amendment he proposed on Satur-
day and the bill went back to the printer
The little jar on the fender marked the
one dissension of the day. Whitewinged
peace settled all over everything and
Grovel and Dibble were altogether too
nice to be safe. Even the general appro-
priation bill ran along smoothly enough,
save for verbal rough and-tumble be-
tween Valentine and Dunlap over the ap-
preparation for the support of the Stock
ton Insane Asylum. The work of the
day was on the Senate special, ways and
means, unfinished business and third
reading files. All of Governor Cages
yetoes on file were sustained.

HE'S UP AGAINST THE REAL THING NOW

MENTO, March 6.-Another bill to re-
strict the newspapers and to teach them
their business of publication of the news
came before the Senate this evening, and
after amendment was passed to print and
third reading. The measure was the
Morehouse bill to require the signature of
those who write any articles which may
reflect upon the character or integrity of
any living person or upon the memory of
any one dead. When the bill came up for
consideration Senator Morehouse offered
an amendment providing that when any
article was published as coming from any
news agency the requirement of a sigma
ture was not necessary.
Smith opposed the amendment, for, said
he, it would exempt from the law the
Associated Press and such other news
corporations, while it laid ali the burden
upon the struggling individual who had
a little country correspondence to attend
to and who could not stand the penalty
of $1,000 which the act allows. He said
there is no more powerful or more grind
ing corporation than the Associated Press
and he did not want to see 1t escape the
burden which the bill put on the indiyid-
ual writer.
Morehouse pointed out that the Asso-
ciated Press dealt with news from other
States. and was therefore out of the jur-
isdiction of any act of this Legislature
but Smith was not satisfied, and voted
against the amendment. The amendment
was passed, however, and the bill went to
print and to third reading,
