special train from Arizona. Stops

significance, and that no meeting of
importance is to be held here.
"All the members of Mr.. Harriman's
party, with the exception Of one or
two" said Kruttschnitt, "are strangers
to California, and they are very anX-
ious to see as much of the country as
possible during their short visit. To-
morrow will be devoted to sightseeing.
We expect TO leave some time to-mor-
row night for San Francisco.
Mr.. Hartman is enjoying the best
of health and is greatly pleased with
the looks of Southern California. The
rains of the past few days have been
blessing TO the country. We arrived
at Redlands this afternoon, just after
a refreshing shower, and i have never
seen the country look more inviting.
The members of Mr.. Harriman's party
are the most enthusiastic admirers of
California 1 have had the pleasure of
travelling with"
Kruttschnitt would not discuss rail-
road matters.

STIRS DEBATE
Canine Real Convention
Has a Lively Time Over
Question of Membership
Special Dispatch to The CAN.


SANTA BARBARA, April 2O.-The
first Canine Real convention at Santa
Barbara has ended. To-day at 1:30 the
fall of the gavel brought to close one
of the most important communal en-
terprises ever entered upon by any
State. 1t was patriotism. The men and
women at the convention were there
because the cause was dear to them,
vital thing that appealed to them.
The convention was called to order
at 10 o'clock by Temporary Chairman
A. P. Fleming, and the committees ap-
pointed on credentials, resolutions and
permanent organization made their re-
ports. On permanent organization the
snag of the convention occurred, be-
cause herein the working power of the
whole organization is centered. Much
eloquence burst forth on the clause of
eligibility to membership to the Canine
Real Association, in which Charles F.
Lummis, the leader in landmark af-
fairs in the south, took a leading
part.
The knot was finally united by the
agreement to Lummis' motion to ac-
cept individual membership at 81 per,
and organizations at rate to be de-
cided upon by the executive commit
tee about to be formed. Three mem
bers were delegated to appoint the
committee. They returned with the fol-
lowing names:
A. p. Fleming, Los Angeles; Mrs. A.
c. Forbes, Los Angeles; ]. r. Know
land, Alameda: DR.. Millbank John
son, Los Angeles; Mrs. Lillian Fergu-
son, San Francisco; ]. T. Richards,
Santa Barbara; George Arnott, Los
Angeles; Gail Borden. Los Angeles;
Charles F. Lummis, Los Angeles; Os-
car Mueller, Los Angeles: r. P. Jen-
nings, San Francisco; w. A. Spauld-
ing, San Diego; Frank Ely, Santa Ana;
Mrs. Weinstock, Sacramento; Mrs
Laura Bride Powers, San Francisco;
w. K. Bacon, Los Angeles; William j.
Variel, Los Angeles; Senator Benja-
min T. Hahn, Pasadena
The real work of the day completed,
Charles r. Lummis made the speech
of the day on the story he knows so
we'll. Addresses were made by G.. Ell
lery, superintendent OF Public High
ways, and by G. Ely on behalf of the
farmers, both of which were enthusi-
astically received.
The executive committee met at the
conclusion of the discussion and elect
ed as permanent officers: A. p Flem-
ing, president: Mrs. Caroline Hickey
Olney, secretary; Oscar C. Mueller.
treasurer; Mrs. A. C. Forbes and w.
C. Bacon, auditing committee.
Adjournment was then taken amid
a mutual love feast 'twixt the north
and south. Long may it live!

SENATOR TALKS
ABOUT TRUSTS
Dolliver Says in Only One In
stance Are Combinations
Due to Protective Tariff

WASHINGTON, April 2O-The Sem
ate to-day listened to a set speech OF
almost two hours duration on tho.
trusts by Senator Dolliver and after
ward completed consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation BILL. again
devoting much time to the provisions
for an extension of the east front of
the Capitol and for an additional Office
building for the Senate.
Dolliver referred to the attitude of
the Democratic party toward the tariff,
saying that for the first time in our
national history since 1868 the policy of
protection stands approved it's enemies
themselves being the judges. by the
common consent of the American peo-
pie. He defended Republican policies
from the charge that they fostered
trusts, and said:
There is only one sense in which the
protective tariff can be held responsible
for the trusts, that is that without the
protective tariff there would have been
fewer industries to combine and there
fore fewer combinations
He declared that the effect of the
abolition of the tariff would be to turn
our markets and our industries over
to other nations. Dolliver in closing,
said:
we approach this Presidential cam
paign united in the bonds of our his
toric faith. We did not originate it,;
we inherited 1t from our fathers. If
changes are required to bring the tariff
law of 1897 into more perfect relation
to the industrial progress of the Ameri-
can people, we propose to make them
ourselves whenever in our Judgment
the work can be undertaken without
doing more harm than good, but we
shah not consent to any change which
surrenders the rights Of American la
Dor, which every man. who makes a
bona fide investment of his money in
the United States ought to have over
his competitors in other lands"
Consideration of the sundry civil bill
was resumed, the immediate question
being an amendment for an office and
committee building for the Senate.
Stone and Stewart supported the
amendment and Newlands advocated a
postponement of the entire question
until it could be investigated by archi-
tects. The amendment was agreed to.
The provision for an addition to the
east front of the Capitol inserted by
the House and amended by the Senate
Committee on Appropriations was dis
cussed. Allison offered an amendment,
which was adopted limiting the imme-
diate appropriation to $4,000. The
amendment appropriating $1,000 as the
share of the United States of the cost
of the building to be erected in Wash
ington for the Bureau of American
Republics was adopted
Senator Bacon offered and the Senate
accepted an amendment appropriating
$4,000 for the erection in Washington
of a statue to Jefferson. He said he
desired to have the provision inserted
las an antidote to the provision for
the statue of Frederick the Great" and
he asked to have the provision insert
ed Immediately after the paragraph re-
lating to Frederick, which was done.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was then passed as amended.
