SENATE ROUTINE OF
COMBINATIONS AND BILLS

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO, March u.-By a message to the
Senate the Governor announced this
morning that he had appointed Mrs.
Phebe Hearst regent of the State Uni
versity to succeed j. West Martin, and
DR.. George c. Pardee of Oakland to sue
ceed James D. Phelan. Mrs. Hearst, Phe
Ian and Martin were among those
whose names were withdrawn from the
consideration Of the Senate some weeks
ago.
The message was called up at once. and
the Governors appointments were con
firmed, The appointments are both for
uneXpired terms.
The Governor also announced his ap-
proVal of Senate bill 105, an act relating
TO Justice Courts and Justices OF the
Senate bill 45O, one of Burnett's meas
ures, slipped past the Senate with prac-
similar to Assemblyman Muenter's bill.
which was refused passage by the senate
that banks shall make statement to the
Assessor and statement to the Bank
Commission the first Monday in March.
As it is now the statement to the Bank
Commission is made in June, and it diff
fers widely from that made to the As
SCISSOR in March. Bunett's bill was put
to a vote without argument, and there
was a call of the Senate before a suff1-
cient number of votes had been secured
measure, and several who opposed Muen-
ters bill voted for Burnett's and then had
to change back to no" 1t made but lit
tie difference to the opponents of the
measure, however, for it must be passed
by the Assembly, and there is not much
chance of it coming upon the House file.
The vote on the passage Of the bill was
Ayes %, noes 9.
Assemblyman Cargilrs bill appropriat-
ing $3.50 to pay the claim of w. c. Gulrey
for war bounty money, a claim which
dates from the Civil War, was denied
second reading on motion of Dickinson.
Dickinson explained that there was re
ceipt for the money now in the hands of
the Controller, and therefore he thought
the only thing the Senate could do would
be to kill the bill. His motion was car
ried 1t appears from the record that
Guirey had signed the receipt through
representative, but Guirey declared this
was a false entry. Dickinson said the
Finance Committee, to which the bill had
been referred, had no time nor was 1T
within the committees powers TO inves-
tigate the alleged forged receipt, and so
there was no way of paying the claim
until the courts had passed on the mat
ter. if 1t could be brought before them
The claim has been hanging for over
thirty years.
This evening the Senate intended to get
to work, but that was as close to seS-
sion as the Senators got. When o'clock
arrived there were but eight or ten Sen
ators in the chamber. and after the ser
geants-at-arms had looked over the Cap
itol they could bring in but two or three
more 1t was therefore decided to let the
Senate rest until Monday morning at 10
o o'clock.

they agree to pay the sum Of S54O0, the

By the agreement to which they
came Melone and Dibble were to either
withdraw the bill or back amendments
which would render it imperative, and
tonight the opportunity offered to get
action on it. Assemblyman Raw Of El

against the measure, had a blank space

and uses him to bolster up their dy-

Now l will let you into the secret
of the Examiners hostility toward me.
Many years ago I started the scheme
TO defeat Mr. Huntington's railroad
funding bill. At that time and for
some time after the Examiner was re-
ceiving $1,000 per month from the pay
roll of the Southern Pacific, Mr.. Bas-
sett was in Washington for eight
months doing the real work that de-
feated the bill and l was paying his
expenses.
Then what do you think? Why,
when the funding bill was first defeated
the Examiner took all the credit of it
and sent for me and asked me If l
would go to San Francisco and stand
on platform in front of the Examiner
office and give that newspaper all the
credit. I said that the Mayor of Oak
land would not be a puppet to any
such Examiner fake, and from that
hour that paper has maligned me and
has done everything it possibly could
to injure me in every way. But do the
people approve of such work? Judg-
ing by the letter l have just read TO
you I do not think so, nor does the
Examiner think so. I tell you that
paper could not be true to anybody
and is not true to itself
I want to tell you that when | was

was hurting the man who has charge

only to help him out that I wrote to
those eighty-five members of the Mu-
nicipal League advising them that l
had ordered the paper sent to their
homes. and that l had paid for the

where it now is, for the reason that the
committee is made up of gentlemen
learned in the law and fully aware of
the viciousness of the proposed mea-
sure. To allow a live person to testify
against one who is dead, and therefore
not able to refute false charges. is
something that never has been, is not
now and never will be permitted by
the laws of this country. There seems
to be here occasion for the shedding of
more tears by Mr. Johnson.

WIRE NAILS.

The biggest adv. the wire

wire nail saved fifty lives. 1t

St. Louis is credited to lS49.
long before the advent of wire
nails. Second, contractors who
have watched their work say
the life of Il cut nail is three
times as great as that of a wire
nail. Acids cut or corrode the
wire nail on it's entire circum-
ference, therefore. it's lffe i
short on ali outside work. All
of the salts and gases are found
in sewer, therefore, the life Of
wire nail is very short and
the said article is bosh. First,
there were 10 wire nails at that
date. Second, because they
have lost ground, the factories
have paid big money to try to
bolster them up. 1t can truly
be said that the country press
is the peoples friend.
