1t was a startling theme and wide
departure from the usual good old
Methodist sermon that Rev. S. ]. Car

His text he took from the story of the
third and last visitation of Christ into
Jerusalem, when he went up into the
temple and with whip of knotted cord
drove out the buyers and the sellers,
the money lenders and the horde of
Pharisees that had pledged the honor
of the Holy City to Mammon and the
greed of gain. His inspiration he gath

made the following statement on the floor
of the Senate Saturday in reply to GER
tain published statements concerning
bills introduced by him:
For the first time in my legislative
career l am under the necessity of rising
to question of privilege. There appeared
In the Chronicle of January 1 an article
which charged me with proposing to in
troduce a measure in this Legislature
which was denounced by it as a gigantic
steal, and in effect that there was q cor
rupt lobby behind 1t. Now the facts are
that the measure referred to was sent to
me along with other bills by the Hon.
Tirey L. Ford, then attorney for the
Board Of Harbor Commissioners during
the last session, providing for the ex-
change of certain lots on the water front
with the heirs of the Frank estate in or
der that a bridge might be constructed
from the ferry to Market street for the
convenience of pedestrians. The bill was
passed unanimously by the Senate, but

whatsoever, the bill being introduced by
request. Having been informed by Mr..
Stratton and also by Regent Reinstein of
the University Of California, attorney for
the Frank heirs. that there was no neces-
sity for the passage of the bill because
the COue OF ClVll PROCEDURE gave ample
power to the Board of Harbor Commits
sioners to effect the exchange of realty
referred to. For this reason never con-
templated to introduce this bill during the
present session, there being no necessity
for it, and If introduced it is my purpose
to oppose it's passage.
"In .to-days Chronicle there appears an
article in which the insinuation is strong
that 1 have not introduced these bills re-
ferred to in the article in good faith and
were it not for the fact that a number of

adverting to it. If I am guilty of any

He also conducted a large brokerage

large operators who had the sagacity to
retire at the proper time. He left the
stock business with a fine competency,

Three Important Labor Bills.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 15.-Assemblyman j. B.
Sanford of Mendocino County has intro
duced in the Assembly three important
labor bills affecting the workers in the
lumber districts of the northern part of
the State.
One is Assembly bill No. SO. which regu-
lates the hours of employment of laborers
in saw mills, shake mills, shingle mills
and logging camps.
The bill provides that days work in
these mills and camps shall not be over
ten hours duration. The measure is
drafted along the lines of the Utah eight
hour law for miners. which Act the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
declared to be constitutional.
At present the men in the lumber camps
are compelled to labor from twelve to
fourteen hours per day.
Assemblyman Sanford has also intro
duced in the lower house a measure,
known as Assembly bill No. S4, which pro-
vides that at least one hour each working
day shall be given for all workmen in
all branches of employment for the mid
day meal.
sembly bill No IS and its object is to
make blacklisting of employees unpopular.
1t makes 1t a felony to publish or cause
to be published a black list of employees.
Mr.. Saanford's idea is that if the law is
enacted and enforced it will give working
men protection and guarantee to them
more Independence if they desire to ex-
ercise 1t.
These measure are now being discussed
by the labor unions and trades councils
throughout the State. They will probably
be approved and petitions forwarded 10
sacramento asking the Legislature to en-
act them. They have been referred to the
Assembly Committee on Labor and Cap
ital.

One reason given for the quick trip of
the push to this city was that there was
considerable anxiety to know something
more about the probable proceedings Of
cq9nel 4,n Mazuma In In addition to ere
left on their trail a very pronounced idea
that the Senatorial question would oc-
cupy so much time that in order to trans
act the necessary business of State legis-
lation it would become incumbent upon
Governor Gage to call an extra session of
the Legislature.
They sought to convey the idea that
the deadlock would last till after the end
of the session; that the Legislature would
work few days without pay. and then
adjourn, thus forcing the Governor to
call them back to go on with their laborS
at regular wages.
There are pretty shrewd politicians in
this city who look upon such a result as
very probable In support of such a
theory they point to the fact that the
Legislature has been in session two weeks
pass a bill appropriating money with
which to run the State printing Office
thereby making it possible to war over
the Senatorial question.
Should the hints thrown out prove Ito
be well founded the prospects for accom-
plishing important legislation are not
very assuring unless the Burns forces are
able to carry out plan to force anseX-
ira session On the other hand. there are
those who assert that before such a condi-
ton of affairs comes to pass something
hard and heavy will fall upon Daniel and

BY HENRY JAMES.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-

politicians congregate there has been to-
day but single topic and this the arrign-
ment of Speaker Wright. There are
friends who still stand by him who de-
clare he will be able to clear himself, but
they do not seem sanguine, and they
manifest feeling of pain and sorrow
that their associate should have fallen.
To me had come the duty of writing
with entire frankness concerning Wright
and his action in going over to Burns. I
think no more pitiful spectacle was ever
presented in public body. Wright knew
he was bringing upon himself the con-
demnation of good people, that no excuse
he could offer could make his act seem
other than despioable. and that the good
name he had wantonly thrown away
could never again be his 1t seemed to
me an incident to excite commiseration
