Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 19.-Before the
this afternoon there was a battle over
the bill introduced by MCGOWAN in
creasing the salaries of the Superior
Judges of San Francisco from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. Other Assemblymen
wished to get aboard and secure raises
Tor the Judges of the counties repre-
sented by them. Espey of Alameda
demanded an amendment raising the
salary Of the Judges of his county to
$4,000. Houser asked that the Los An
figure, King of Napa wanted an in
crease from $4,000 TO $4,000 for Judge
Gesford and Pryor wanted Judge Short
of Kings put Oh the $4,000 list.
: Treadwell and MCGOWAN put up the
tight for the San Francisco judiciary,
and won out to the extent that the
committee decided to report the bill
favorably as it stood-providing for an
increase for the San Francisco Judges
only
The contention made by the San
Frenciscans was not against raising
the salaries of Judges outside Of their
city. They said these raises should be
made, but that they would have to be
made gradually. and that If everybody
tried to secure an advance this session,
none of them would succeed. They said
that as no Judge now in office could
benefit by the increase none outside Of
San Francisco could receive extra COM
pensation in less than four years. and
that the San Francisco Judges elected
two years from now would draw salary
under the new schedule.
1t seems likely that some of the
amendments offered in committee will
be insisted upon on the floor, and that
there will be fight over the passage
of the bill as 1t stands.
The Senate and Assembly committees
on Capital and Labor met in joint ses-
sion this afternoon and evening. and
reported favorably the bill limiting the
days labor of firemen to twelve
hours and providing that no drug clerk
shall be compelled to work more than

chase of site and the construction of

less excuse. than In the past, because

But Senators Ward. Selvage, Keane.
Rowell and Wolfe hammered Short

said that il Shortridge did carry out

the San Francisco State Normal School
he had better label the bill IAN act

Laughter greeted this remark, and

the Committee on Hospitals and Asy-
lums, to which had been sent Emmons'
resolution calling for the appointment
of a special committee to investigate
the conditions prevailing at Napa Hos
pital for. the Insane.
Yesterday morning DR.. Elmer e.
Stone, medical director of the asylum,
arrived in Sacramento to present his
side of the case. He appeared before
the committee and soon convinced the
members that there was no occasion
for a special investigation.
After his statement the committee
decided to recommend that Senator
Emmons' resolution he amended, au-
thorizing the Committee on Hospitals
and Asylums to investigate the condi-
tions prevailing at the institution. The
committee will leave here some Satur-
day night during the session and re-
turn the following Monday. If this
committee finds that the conditions are
not as represented it will then recon-
mend that Senator Emmons' resolution
be adopted and that special commit
tee take a week to get to the bottom OF
affairs.
InlS recommendation met with lhc
approval of the Senate this morning,
and the plan provided for in the COM
mittee's amended resolution was
adopted. The Senate also received this
morning the report Of the COMMITTEES
on Prisons and Reformatories, which
recommends that the following bills do
pass:
BY Ralston-Appropriati $4170 AZ to
pay the deficiency in the appropriation
of the support fund occasioned by the

Special Dispatch to Tn. can.


SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1s.-At last
the Senate is getting down to serious
work. For the first time since the ses-
sion opened the upper house of the
Legislature held two sessions to-day
both of which were enlivened by
rhetorical flights and exchanges of
sarcastic thrusts.
The morning session was marked by
another battle against the junket reso-
luton introduced yesterday by PEN
dleton providing that the committees
On Finance, Education. Hospitals and
Reformatories and Buildings and
Grounds be authorized to appoint a
subcommittee, to be composed of two
members of each committee, to inves-
tigate the various institutions of the
State, and, though the resolution was
finally adopted by d narrow majority,
it went in with a rider that provides
that when this subcommittee is about
to depart on it's journey it must be
first authorized by a two-thirds vote.
Judging by the vote of to-day the
Junketers will fail to rally the neces-
s&ry strength and unless recognized
ne cessity for a junket arises it looks
now as though the hopes of the pro-
pcnents of the resolution are blasted
forever.
The resolution was introduced and
sent to the Finance Committee yester-
day without disturbance, owing to the
absence of known. opponents to such
schemes, but this morning found Sena-
tor Shortridge at his desk. his rhetoric
tugging at the leash and ready for
combat.
SHORTRIDGE is SARCASTIC.
Il am astonished," said Shortridge,
that the Finance Committee, of
which my colleague. Belshaw. is chair
man, has reported favorably on this
re solution. | want 1t understood that
am opposed without chance of COM
promise to this resolution. However,
l am weary of all the pickering and I
pie dge you that if you ever hear my
voice again in the Senate it will be in
favor of or against a matter OF much
more Importance than the cheap
scheme which some of these wise Sen
ators are trying TO foist upon us. 1

How prone all are to jump at con-
clusions," said Senator Belshaw in an
swer to Shortridge's thrusts. The
Senator from Contra Costa and Marin
hasn't changed his opinion one whit in
regard to this and similar schemes.
This resolution was discussed in COM
mittee, majority declared in favor
OF it and there was nothing left for
me to do under the rules but to so re-
pert to the Senate. However, I am

DISCUSSION WAKES WARM.

Ralston seeing that things were
waxing warm, entered the contest with
substitute resolution, providing that
in event it should be shown that inves-
tigations were necessary that each Sen
appoint a subcommittee of two to in
vestigate any institution coming under
its Jurisdiction. Emmons pointed out
that the substitute was worse than the
original, as it would authorize the ap-
pointment of seventy-two men to COM
mittees when there were but forty Sen
ators. Markey then sought to force a
vote on the previous question, but he
failed and Ralston was permitted to
amend his substitute resolution where.
by the committees on Education, FL
nance, Hospitals and Asylums.
Prisons and Reformatories and
Public Buildings and Grounds would
alone be authorized to appoint sub
committees to carry on Investigations,
the sub-committees to consist of three
members each.
Emmons again objected, saying he
didn't see why Senator Ralston wanted
to increase the subcommittee from
1.-TWO members, as provided In the origi-
nal resolution. to three members. Raj
! ston explained that he did SO at the re-
quest of the committees contained in
/ his amended substitute resolution.
Then Bauer again entered the contro-
versy. asking that the Committee on
| Commissions and Retrenchments be
added to the list. The confusion was
then complete. A call for the vote on
! Ralston's substitute resulted in its de-
feat In short order. and then Pendle-
toms original resolution was put to a
vote.
Twenty-four voted in its favor and
fifteen against 1t and 1t was declared
defeated by the chair. Simpson of Ala
media raised the point of order, how
ever. that as the resolution called for
no appropriation until the committees
! were authorized to start on their junket
a majority only was necessary to carry
It. The chair decided that the point
was well taken and declared the resolu-
ton passed. saying, however, that when
the committees called for e1penses to
start on their Journeys it wouk take a
two thirds vote to legalixe the war
rants on the treasury. This declara-
tion of the chair again took the smiles
from the faces of those that are hum
gering to travel. for they again see de-
feat ahead.
