CuIprit Declares His Pay for Doing Dirty
Work Was First Fixed at $3.50.

H. D. Morton, proprietor of Nor
toms Special Delivery and we'll known
in other lines of business in San Fran
cisco, testified that he had employed
Tichenor and believed his reputation
to be good. B. F. Kenble, superin-
tendent of Pinkerton's San Francisco
agency, testified that Tichenor's rep
utation is good.
HIS CHARACTER GOOD.
Phillip Conradi, a merchant of Oak

business with Tichenor and that his
reputation is good. F. w. Thompson,
land System, also testified his reputa-
ton is good. Andrew Carrigan, vice

tation is good.

vative man.

CALLS LAWS A FARCE.
Grange Thinks Building and Loan
Statutes Need Changing.


SACRAMENTO, Feb. S.-The special
committee Of the Senate appointed in
place of that on Commissions and Re-
trenchments to investigate building and
loan associations held it's first meeting
this evening in the Senate chamber.
The only witness was James l.. Field,
for ten years secretary of the State
Building and Loan Commission.
He said the main cause of the COM
plants was the fact that the investors
did not read their certificates. In some
cases Misrepresentation OF agents
were responsible. There were legisla-
tive remedies for whatever faults ex-
listed, he said, but his experience had
shown that the laws as they existed
had been complied with by every asso-
citation In the State.
Just as the session was breaking
up Clarence Grange, secretary of the
Phoenix Association. said to the COM
mittee: 'The laws as they exist are
an absolute farce"
Many meanings can be placed on
the word, Farce said Curtin. What
do you mean %
II mean that the laws covering
building and loan associations, as they
exist, afford absolutely no protection
to either the investor or the borrower
By the investor / mean the man that
invests in the shares of companies and
by the borrower the person that bor-
rows funds therefrom and before this
investigation Is concluded should like
the privilege of suggesting legislative
remedies"
Grange was assured that he would
be given such opportunity.
The committee will hold another ses-
sion tomorrow morning at $3.50.

DRAINAGE MEASURES.
Fear Is Felt That Bills VIII Be De.
feated.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. S.-A fear is
expressed by those interested in the
swamp land and reclamation meas
ure presented before the Assembly
that it will not be passed and that no
legislation on this important matter
will be accomplished at this session.
Dissension Is rife among those who
are to be affected by the proposed
reclamation scheme. Some who have
land that is amply protected do not
care to be assessed to reclaim lands
belonging to others and the exclusion
of some tracts thoroughly reclaimed is
arousing opposition on the part of
owners Of unreclaimed holdings.
There is to be another meeting of
the Committee on Swamp and Over
flowed Lands and Drainage this week
and the various objections to the bill
submitted will be heard.
WOODLAND, Feb. 8.-The Board
of Supervisors to-day unanimously
adopted resolutions opposing the
drainage bill now pending in the Leg
islature and instructing the county's
representatives to use all honorable
means to defeat the measure.
