Sec 2 This act shall be In force and take
effect from and after its passage.
The reading of the bill caused something
of sensation among the Senators, more
especially the Gage adherents, who had
expected that an attempt would be made
to create an entirely new board and give
Governor Pardee a chance to name his
own appOintees.
Senator Caldwell explained later, how
ever, that he preferred to test the senti-
ment of the Legislature before compro-
missing the administration He intimated
that should his bill abolishing the present
board be passed the most threatening
danger would be removed and it would be
easy to provide for the wants of the State
afterward.
The measure was referred by Lfeuten-
ant Governor Anderson to the Committee
on Banks and Banking, of which Senator
Knowland of Alameda, a stanch support

Caldwell believes he has safe majority
behind him. The opposing forces are al

Kevane was made in the Senate this af-
ternoon when Caldwell of Riverside intro
duced meaty bill of legal phraseology
under the title of Senate Bill No. ST. The

Kevane is a member by courtesy of ex-
Governor Gage. There is no provision for
the creation of new board and it is to go
into effect Immediately upon its passage.

at noon to-day the Senate and
~ Assembly met in joint session
to ratify the election of Hon.
George c. Perkins to the Senate of the
United States. The proceedings were i'm
pressive and interesting. After the roll
calls of both houses the minutes of the
previous day pertaining to the election OF
a United States Senator were read. Then
Secretary of the Senate Brandon read
the sections of the constitution relative
to the manner of electing Senators to
Congress When this was concluded As

tion be made unanimous.
I<illingsworth is a Democrat. He said

Lieutenant Governor Anderson did not

Memorial SERVICES.

Sunday morning, May "a, the mem
bers of the w. a. Morse w r. q. met
with our president, Mrs. Crosby, and
after DOMINIC our memorial badges,
marched to the corner of Franklin and
Butler streets, where headed by the
Post we proceeded to the Presbyterian
church where we were seated. And while
from various sources we learn that the
tribute to the Grand Army Of the Re
public and the heroes who have crossed
the river were of unusual interest other
years, we can report a larger attendance
this year and more patriotism displayed
by our citizens than ever before, and
we listened to as fine discourse as one
could wish to hear, by the Presbyterian
minister. Rev. kirkwood.
The w. a. Morse Post and w. r..
c. occupied the front seats. and the
church was filled to OVERLOOKING as we
listened to the beautiful words of
the good man, who seemed to know
just how to talk of our Countrys Cost,
and to our Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. When they were founded these
were their three objects: To promote
the love aud practice of fraternity Iiber
al distributions of charity, and unequi-
vocal loyalty. And we, as an auxiliary,
are to do what the word implies, be
helper.
In his address, explaining the true
character and aim of the Grand Army.
he referred to Its influence as teacher
OF patriotism to the rising generations.
The tree Of liberty, watered and train
ed, by the influences of the Grand
Army, will send forth no disloyal
shoots to dtshonor our flag, but every
branch as 1t takes up it's burden OF life,
will have that vital principle Of loyalty
80 engrafted that treason can dever
! destroy 1t, and when the encampmen.s
that know us now shall know us no
more forever, the feeling of fraternal
regard we have nourished will shed its
silent tear over our graves. The charity
we have promoted will throw Its mantle
over our shortcomings, and the spirit Of
Loyalty we have cultivated will still
rally round the flag we loved, to per
petuate our memories.
Altogether it was day we'll spent,
and long to be remembered, end it
seems to me these gatherings become
more interesting every year.
