Her Home.

Susie Adams, who lived with her par
ents on Cox & Clarke's ranch, near the
mouth of the American River, is re-
ported to have wandered from home on

have been delirious, as she mad been
ill, or that, possibly, she went Tor a

BABE FINDS A HOME.
Mrs. Wachter Will Find Shelter
for a Waif.

Mr.. and Mrs. John o. Wachter OF
1922 Fourteenth street. who found
babe at their doorsteps a week ago, are
puzzled to understand who left 1t there,
but the child could not have been left
with kinder people. They like it, but
wish it had been a girl rather than a
boy.
1T was not left in a basket, said
Mrs. Wachter, "as has been stated in
one of the papers, and we do not pro-
pose to keep it, but it will never go to
the Foundlings' Home. I tell you that
now. 1t is the sweetest, prettiest lit
tie babe you ever saw, and we would
keep it If it We're a girl. As 1t is, we
have friends who will gladly take it
and give it good home. do not
think the police should spend SO much
time trying to hound the poor mother,
whoever she may be, as in trailing the
fatheH of the child. They need not
worry about the babe, for it is all

BEFORE The BREAK.
EVERYBODY LOOKING FOR A
CHANGE.
kilograms Pouring in Upon the
Republican Legislators
From Constituents.

It is generally conceded that the de-
mands of the Republicans of the State,
voiced editorially in Saturdays Rec
ord Union" will be acceded to by the
members of the Legislature, and that
the deadlock which has existed since
the early days of the session will be
broken.
That the bone and sinew of the party
the men who cast the votes-are dis
pleased at the course which has been
pursued, is evidenced by the fact that
scores upon scores of kilograms have
been received by the members from
their constituents, urging them to break
the deadlock and elect good man
United States Senator.
And the kilograms are by no means
confined to amy particular section of
the State. The members from the
southern part of the State as well as
those from Alameda and other sections,
have their desks piled high with them,
all indicating the same line of action
to go into a conference and abide by
the decision of the majority.
1t is known by everybody that unless
the deadlock is broken the State will
have but one Senator to represent it
for the next two years, and the Re
publicans who voted for legislative can
didates with the understanding that
they should elect Republican to the
Senate decline longer to be trif1ed with.
Very few Republican members were
in this city yesterday, but most of those
seen expressed a willingness to go into
caucus and be bound by the result. The
expressions of a few prominent Re-
publicans seen last night run like the
following:
AssembIyman Merrill Of the Thirty
sixth Assembly District, San Fran
cisco, said: I have no personal inter-
est in this matter. I think it is dan
gerous to allow this thing to go on and
take chances two years hence. know
that a Republican cannot be returned
from my district. I have not had an
opportunity of looking over the morn
ing papers, but understand that a eau
Gus is to be held. AS I said before, I
believe this thing has dragged along far
enough, and am willing to go into eau
Gus and settle the matter without fur
ther delay.
Major NJ. T. Owens, prominent at
torney of Los Angeles-I am strongly
in favor of holding caucus It is the
only way out of the difficulty.
E. C. DEMO of Long Beach, think
the time has come when this deadlock
should be broken, and the only way
to do it in my mind is by holding a
caucus.
]. B. Patterson of Placer County,
am satisfied that the people are get
ting tired of this deadlock. I am a Re
publican and party man and believe
that the only way to settle party diff
ferences is in caucus. I have re-
ceived several letters the past week
from some of the most prominent Re-
publicans in my county, and without
an exception they voice my sentiments.
This deadlock is injuring the party
and cannot be brought to an end too
speedily.

why Ships Defy Lightning.

The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed by German
authorities to the general use which
is now made of wire rope for rigging
purposes, as we'll as to the fact that
the hulls of ships are usually con-
structed of iron or steel. Thus the
whole ship forms an excellent and con
tinuous conductor, by means of which
the electricity is led away . into tn
ocean before it has time to do any Sc.
