HOME FOR GOVERNOR.
Pardee Will Occupy the Old Lindley
Mansion In Sacramento.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACHA-
MENTO, Jan. Ex-Governor Pardee has
leased the old Lindley mansion, on H
street, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth A number of citizens Of this city
took 1t upon themselves to aid the chief
executive in finding a temporary resi-
dence and were successful in leasing this
well-known house.
The Governor and his family have been
staying at the Golden Eagle Hotel. The
State furnishes official reidence for it's
Governor. Senator Devlin is preparing a.
bill to have the unexpended balance set
aside two years ago for the erection of a
gubernatorial mansion, and such addition
al sums as may be required, appro-
priated for it's construction. 1t also di-
rects that the building should be erected
outside the Capitol grounds. A clause is
attached authorizing the commission to
rent quarters for the Governor until the
mansion Is completed.
Assemblyman w. w. Greer will intro
duce a similar bill in the lower house

LAST ANXIOUS
TO COMPROMISE
FOR THEH
General Is Willing to
Leave the Service
Very Soon.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. e.-The contest over
a 4 the confirmation Of the appoint
~ ment of General Charles F. A.
Last of Los Angeles as command
er of the First Brigade. n. G. c., is in
a fair way to be compromised. The oppo-
siton to Last has been based principally
upon the ground that he is legally ineh-
gibIe in that the law requires that ne
shall have served for at least three years
as field officer before he can become
general officer in the National Guard of
California. General Last was never
field officer but was given his present po-
sition as a reward for political services.
Despairing of securing his confirmation
his friends have proposed as compro-
mise measure that his appointment be
confirmed with the understanding that he
shall continue in the service only five
months and at the expiration of that pc
riod he shall retire. 1t so happens that
General Last lacks only five months of
completing term of service which will
entitle him to retirement with full rank
and he wants to secure that privilege.
He declares that under the circumstances
ne has desire TO remain in the service,
but having served for long he wishes
the pilNHeSe VI lellilhS WIN an lhe nun
ors which may accrue to him by reason
of his long service.
This compromise measure has not as
yet been presented to Governor Pardee
and therefore no one knows whether the
new Governor will agree to 1t. The op-
position to Lasts confirmation has by no
means given up the fight and will urge
the point that inasmuch as he has never
complied with the law creating his posi-
tion he is not entitled to the benefits Of
the law, which otherwise would give him
the right to retire with full rank. The
fight against the Confirmation is not al
together a political one as yet, the legal
objection to it being the only one thus

PLANS CHANGE
IN THE STATE
LAW ON BALLOT
Prospect That Measure
by Mott Will Be
Accepted.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
A MENTO, Jan. 9.-Assemblyman
v John w. Mott Of Oakland is the
~ only member Of the Legislature
who anticipated any of the recon-
mendations made by Governor Pardee in
his inaugural address. Mott is a young
man and this is his maiden experience
in the legislative arena. Ever since his
election he has been at work preparing
and pruning and perfecting an armor-
clad amendment to the State ballot law
which cannot be perforated by the dead
ly projectiles of the Supreme Court
The particular purpose of the amend
ment which Mott will introduce in the
lower house next Wednesday, is to un-
mistakably define what an identification
mark on a ballot is and to hedge the
ballot about with ample safeguards to
prevent unjust cancellation. The amend
ment further provides that sworn testi-
mony must be offered to prove that any
unusual mark upon a ballot was placed
there for purposes of identified ton before
ii can be declared invalid by the courts.
Mott derived his inspiration for the
amendment from the contest for the
shrievalty of Alameda County last fall
between Candidates Bishop and Rogers.
the election it was discovered that large
number of ballots bore two crosses or
marks after a candidates name instead
of one, as provided by law. The Gu-
peror Court subsequently decided that
these extra marks were intended for M
poses of identification and threw out ovN
25 per cent of the entire vote of the
county. In some precincts so per cent
were Cancelled.
Inasmuch as Motifs measure happens
to be in line with Governor Pardees 8
wishes, the hearty support of the ma
jority Of both houses has been promised
and its early passage is assured. Even
signs count for anything. E. N. Baxter
of Wawona proposes to boost every effort
to reform the obvious defects in the pres
ent ballot law and will himself offer a
further amendment providing that cleo
ton returns may be written either with
ink or indelble pencil He is now prepar-
ing another important measure, which, II
successful will create more or less Of a
sensation among California's disciples of
Izaak Walton. This is an amendment to
the game and fish law forbidding the
catching Of trout under seven inches in
length instead of six inches as hereto
fore.
Baxter will probably be placed upon
the committee governing these matters,
as he is known to be one of the best fly
fishermen and quail shots in the State.

Second officer Hanson gives the follow
ing account of the disaster:
AT 1 o'clock on the morning Of January
the vessel was running eastward with a
strong westerly wind. Captain Markus-
sen had had no observations for three
days, but as he and the officers had been
in these waters before, they felt confident
that they were inside Cape Flattery and
sailing up the Straits of Juan do
Fuca. Suddenly light was seen ahead
ard the officers decided 1t was in house
on shore. Orders were qcicIiy given to
wear the ship and the vessel was brought
about and stood OF shore. The officers
were congratulating themselves on the
narrow escape when the bark struck a
rock
Captain Markussen ordered the pumps
manned and taking a part Of the crew be-
low investigated the damage. 1t was
found the vessel had struck the rock a
glancing blow and that one OF the plates
had split Preparations were made to
stop the leak and the vessel was making
good headway seaward when a second
reef was struck, but apparently the sec
ond did no damage.
Captain Markussen remarked that they
would soon be in deep water and out OF
danger A mountainous sea was running
and the bark rising on a huge wave fell
on a jagged rock and literally collapsed
and was swept by a tremendous wave.

MAY REMOVE DAIRY SCHOOL.
Proposal Planned to Take It From
Berkeley to Menlo.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. s.-An effort will be made
during this session Of the Legislature to
have the State Dairy School removed
from Berkeley to the Budd place, at Men
10 Park. Unless unexpected opposition to
the proposed change comes from Presi-
dent Wheeler of the State University the
effort will probably be successful. 1t has
the support Of most Of the instructors in
the school, and II is said more than one
OF the Board Of Regents favor the
change.
The bill for the removal of the school
will be introduced early in the session by
Assemblyman Brown Of San Mateo. who
two years ago secured an appropriation
of $4,000 for the school. In his opinion
Berkeley is not the proper place for the
institution, and II would never have been
placed there but for the desire on the
part of certain members of the faculty
to group together at Berkeley all the de-
partments of the university
Another bill which Brown will intro
duce will be of special interest to en-
ployes of corporations who from time to
time find il necessary to discount their
salaries because of their immediate need
for ready cash. in many of the cities of
the State the money lenders make enor-
NOUS profits at the expense of those who
work for a living. 1t frequently happens
that the rate Of interest which they
charge is as high as Is per cent per
month. The security exacted is a written
assignment of his salary TO the man who
lends him the money, and his refusal to
nav makes it possible in many cases to
20 to the employer of his customer and
cause his discharge. Rather than take
chances of losing his position the borrow
er continues TO pay the enormous inter-
