MENTO, Feb. cit remained for
Charles NJ. Shortridge, the Senator from
Santa Clara, to break in on the monot-
ony that has characterized the joint
Senatorial ballot these three weeks. He
did it this morning in style that is
essentially his own. For az many as
five minutes the representative from
the prune section awoke the echoes and
with all the power of his we'll winded
lungs and gorgeous tie he hurled large
jolts of Illuminated oratory through the
stagnant atmosphere of the Assembly
chamber at the heads of the support
ers of Grant, Barnes, Bulla and every
one else that ever refused to go into a
Burns caucus. 1t was splendid though
futile effort.
The Shortridge opportunity presented
itself upon the completion of the first
and last ballot of the day. With the
light of a renewed intelligence illumi-
ing his ordinarily mobile features he
rose from his seat in the left Of the
chamber.

Il would say a few words in support
of my resolution said Mr.. Shortridge.
Il submit, sirs, that this is the NTH

States Senator and we have not yet
succeeded in selecting to represent us
a successor to the gentleman whose
term at the national capital is about TIC

which was our chiefest characteristic
in the old days to stand together for
the public good and do Republican poll

fees we We're obliged to make.

NO MONEY FOR THE
MISSES SMITH NOW

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. 6.-Grove L. Johnson, the
Assemblyman from Sacramento, was be-
fore the Assembly Committee on Ways
and Means tonight to urge favorable rec
ommendation for Assembly bill 573, in
which it is said he is personally and finaa-
cially interested.
Assembly bill 573 is designed to make
amount as does not find it's way to John
sons pockets as attorneys fees past and
future, to Violet Evelyn and Ida Bernice
Smith, survivors of Ida MorreH Smith
By the many residents of this city who
Smith family and the ground upon which
it bases its claim to State funds, the bill
is declared as rank job as ever engaged
the attention of a State Legislature.
Smith. father of the surviving Violet
Evelyn and Ida, was the keeper of a no.
torious haunt of crooks and ex-convicts
of the lowest stamp. 1t was in the old
days, when Sacramento had not much in
the way of protection against such a
class of people, and Grove L. Johnson
was in the heyday of his legal career An
eX-Chief of Police of this city met his
death there one night at the hands of an
assassin. and Smith was arrested upon
the charge and finally convicted. He was
defended by Grove L. Johnson. who i'm
mediately appealed TO the Supreme Court
for new trial. The Supreme Court re-
versed the decision of the lower tribunal
and the new trial was ordered
Meanwhile Smith had become afflicted
fore the second trial was completed
1t is upon the lamentable fact that
Smith died that Grove johnson bases the
claim of the Smith survivors. Mr.. john

FIGHTING AGAINST

Board of Supervisors against the San
Francisco cemeteries has been trans
ferred to the Legislature.
The row has been on for years in San
Francisco, and only two months ago, the
Board Of Supervisors declined to order
the cemeteries closed after hearing ar
gument on the point for three whole days.
The fight bobbed up III the Assembly
this morning, when Assemblyman White
Of San Francisco offered bill which pro-
yEides that any person who after January
J. 1902, shall bury or order or assist to
bury. the body of any deceased person
within the limits of any Incorporated
city and county in this State having a
population exceeding 900 shall be

son argues that Smith was really innocent
and that the second trial would have de-
Veloped that fact had he not died while
in durance, leaving his family with the
stigma of his crime upon them. This is
the basis for the claim for which John
son appeared before the committee to-
night to argue. With him he brought a
string of witnesses who remembered more
or less clearly the story OF Smiths trial
When they did not remember Mr.. Johnson
reminded them, and altogether the pro-
ceeding was a good deal as things are on
the floor of the Assembly when Mr. John
son is engineering some pet measure
through and tries to run the whole ma
chine
Mr.. Johnson pursued his time-honored
policy by making q speech. He said the
newspapers were all liars and he did not
and then he objected because The Call
and the Sacramento Bee had shown UP
the job in the bill which he is fostering.
His arguments, however, went for little
with the committee. and when it went into
executive session it decided to send the
measure for the relief of the Misses Smith
back to the Assembly without recon-
mendation of any sort.
The oft repeated claim of Major Ramon
Pico for the restitution of $1,000 expended

panies Of cavalry during the rebellion

to urge his case. The sympathy of the
committee was evidently with him from
the beginning and hiss bill was recon-
mended for passage without opposition
Major Pico's claim has been passed
through the houses of two Legislatures
and each time has failed to get the sig

cred that he will finally get what is COM

MENTO. Feb. 6.-Assemblyman .-uenter
of San Joaquin has bill coming up be-
fore the Senate Committee on judiciary
within a very few days that is already
attracting the attention of stockholders
in the national banks of this State anu
upon which there bids fair to be centered
a hot fight before it is finally passed by
the Senate, The reason for corporation
opposition to Mr.. Muenter's bill is that if
his measure is enacted the owners of ma
tional bank stock will be compelled 10
pay their just tax on over 5000 900 of
stock that is now owned in this State and
upon which there has never been a dollar
collected for the States support
1t has been a good thing for the stock
holders, and in not paying taxes on their
holdings they Lave been within their
right under the law for, OF all the States
of tie Union. California is the only one
that has moi provided for the taxation OF
suoh holdings.

resolution that brought joy TO the hearts
of the hungry employees who worked so
hard for the State until the Belshaw act
left them out in the cold world. The Con-
troller had refused to sign the warrants
of seventeen or eighteen extra employees
on the ground that their warrants had
been ordered by q three-fourths PC q
four-fifths vote, as the Helshaw act de-
manded. But since then the T5eIshaw act
has been amended until even its author
asks for an Introduction, and Mr.. Cutter
thought he saw a chance to pass the war
rants by four-fifths vote and so COM
ply with everything in and out of the
act. so he submitted resolution authoriz-
ing the Controller. to sign them all. 1t
was pointed out to him, however, that
there were not four-tifths of the Senators
present. so Cutter had his resolution post
poned and the employees must wait little
longer for pay daN.

publicans and Republican majorities
came together in time-honored caucus,
decided what they wanted and went on
to the floor of the House and voted
for it,, bound by the decision of the
whole party in caucus l submit to
you, sirs, that this is SO. Why cannot
we get together as in the old days, de-
eide upon what we want in caucus and
come out here on this floor and settle
this thing as men should?"
1t was evident when Mr.. Shortridge
made reference to caucus in his single
handed attempt to stampede the dila-
tory legislators into a meeting, that
Dan Burns was the power that pulled
the string.
Senator Cutter of Yuba was on his
feet before the hangings on the gal
leries had ceased to rustic, and ripped
out: We'll, I'm glad to see that the
people from Santa Clara have at last
come to the conclusion that a caucus
is the best thing that could happen
Hold on, there yelled Senator
Morehouse. "Cut out that Santa Clara
and make it Shortridge. Santa Clara
wants no caucus.
Il want to say" continued Mr.. CUT
ter, that this conclusion is commend
able, although 1t is two years late I
remember two years ago, when the
gentleman had a brother a candidate
for this position, he would go into eau
Gus under no consideration, for he knew
that If he did so the Republican party
would throw man out of the race the
people of this State did not want, and
l want to say that no man and no
power under the canopy of heaven can
force US into a caucus that would now
elect another man to the United States
Senate whom the people of this State
do not want, either"
Mr.. Bettman got his breath at this
point and replied to Cutter in charac-
teristie manner, and then Mr. Mead. of
the minority, said he did not see why
the minority should be afflicted with all
this. and he moved that it be made the
special order for the next Republican
caucus.
President Flint wound up the spec
tacular proceedings by putting Mr.
Shortridges resolution to a vote and a
chorus of noes sent the Santa Claran
back to his seat.
There was no change in the ballot. It
was the same as on Saturday and
when Assemblynan Belshaw moved
adjournment there was no opposition.
The vote was as follows:
