facilities for estimating the financial re-
sources of the two candidates-Burns and
Grant-faney that Burns mine would
make a sorry showing alongside the sack
that the Grant syndicate could show up.
Tie committee report of the invesuga-
tion may turn out to be two-edged
sword if it is not shaped exactly right.
If it be sharpened to cut Grant to the
quick it will also cleave Burns friend,
Howard Wright. A prediction is made
that the committee will not recommend
any action to the Assembly but will sim
ply present certain conclusions establish
ed by the testimony and leave it to the
Assemblymen to inf1ict whatever punish
ment or discipline they deem necessary.
The Speaker has evidently hint Of the
committees intention, for he is now
working to avert deserved punishment.
The Grant men in the Legislature will
fight with desperation before they will
consent to the infliction of a brand of in
fanny on their candidate. They may allow
censure of their chief for over-Zeal and
excessive generosity in contributing funds
to achieve the election of a Republican
Legislature but they will never consent to
the adoption of a report that Grant or
his managers used money to bribe mem
bers to vote for the San Diego candidate.
Before the end comes Burns may be in as
deep as Grant. Then there will be a cry
of Whitewash for two.

friendly letters to several of the aspirants
for Senator Whites seat in the Senate

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 22.-The Senatorial barome-
ter does not give any indication of a
marked change in the political atmos-
phere 1t is said tonight that the can
didates will poll their usual strength
on the balloting tomorrow. A slight gain
for General Barnes is one of the proba-
bilities. The assertion is made with
great emphasis that there will be no break
away from Grant while he is under fire.
The followers of Burns declare they also
will stand firmer than ever since the edict
has gone forth that their candidate must
answer to the charge of using money to
promote his fight for a place in the United
States Senate.
The Grant men are determined that the
inquiry concerning the improper use OF
money in the contest shall not be allowed
to stop at the door of their candidate.
They insist that the committee shall re-
quire Dan Burns and his managers to
account for every dollar of money ex-
pended in the legislative districts of San
Francisco. 1t will be interesting to as
certain from whom the money was re-
ceived and to whom it was paid. Burns

tee generous sums of money. The touts
point with pride to this generosity as
proof that Dan is a thoroughbred in put
ting up coin to win Republican victories.
Careful inquiry may disclose the fact
that this money did not come out OF the
colonel's private resources.
The notion that Grant will quit under
fire is not one that is accepted in this
quarter. His fight is hopeless, but when
he goes out of the race he will take Burns
with him. The touU boast that Dan

BIG SUMS ASKED FOR
OAKLAND'S HARB0R
HEADQUARTERS

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. PA quarter of million
dollars is a large sum, but it is the sum
Senator Frank Leavitt of Oakland de-
sires to have transferred from the gen.
eral fund of the State to the Oakland har-
Dor fund.
In his bill authorizing the proper officials
to make TINS transfer Mr.. Leavitt does
not set forth the specific uses to which it
is to be put. The transfer authorized is,
however, as a matter of fact, an appro-
priation. However, it is very easy to as
certain what uses this 900 is to be put
when Senate bill No. 10, introduced by
Senator Leavitt, is read, which bill is now
in the hands of the committee.
Senate bill number ten creates the har-
Dor of Oakland and defines it's boundar-
les. 1t authorizes the appointment Of
three commissioners to constitute the
Oakland Harbor Commission, and pro-
vides for the appointment of small army
of employees and attaches OF the commls-
sion. 1t provides that any disobedience
of the rules or regulations of the board
shall be punishable by fine or imprison-
ment, and the depositing of any substance
obstructing navigation shall be punish
able by a tine of $780,
The bill has one singular incongruity in
1t, for it provides that the Attorney Cen
eral shall furnish advice. to the board
when required, yet it also provides for an
attorney for the board. All told, places
are provided for about thirty people. OF
course there will be some fees and
charges collected, and they are to go into
the State treasury. The fees and charges
will not, however, meet the expenditures
contemplated, for there are provisions in
the bill looking to sundry improvements.
AS yet no petitions have been received
from Oakland citizens or commercial
bodies asking for the passage of either
of these bills. Some are expected, how
ever, before the committee to which they
have been referred to will act. In the
meantime there are several prominent
Oaklanders in Sacramento who are en-
gagged in the task of paving the way for
small army of lobbyists who are ex-
pected in the near future and whose duty
1t will be to see that no Instructions are
placed in the way of the much-wanted
law and the accompanying appropriation.
