SAN FRANCISCO, March S0.-The

fourth inning Hall lost control of the
ball and sent three men to first on
balls. Miller's muff and hit assisted
in bringing in four runs for San Fran

TORRANCE NOT GUILTY.
Assembly Committee May Report
Against Impeachment.


SACRAMENTO, Feb. I1.-Reports
received here from San Diego are to
the effect that the special committee
OF the Assembly appointed to investi-
gate the charges made against Supe-
rior Judge Torrance of San Diego by
the Los Angeles Bar Association and
to report on whether the lower house
should recommend his impeachment
and trial by the Senate will report
against impeachment. This report
viii be filed about the middle of next
week, it is said by Assemblymen here.
Friends Of Torrance are gratified
with the information, but they had
hopes that the committee would go
even further and embody in it's report
a full exculpation for him of any
acts unbecoming a Judge. 1t is said
that the evidence adduced has in no
way given the committee reason to
pronounce Judge Torrance guilty of
any wrongful act ascribed to him.
The full transcript of the testimony
will be filed in the Assembly with the
report SO that any member may read
it and know upon what the commit
tee acted. The filing of this testi-
mony will, it is said, be deemed a suf-
ficient exoneration of Torrance with
out any special words in the report as
to what the committee thinks of his
good character.

.DARES TO REFLECT
ON LEGISLATORS
FurOr Is Created
by Journalist Of
Santa Cruz.
Special Dispatch to The Call

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.-THE edi-
tor of the Santa Cruz Surf may be
cited for contempt of the Assembly.
The alleged contempt consists of a
statement published last Thursday in
the Surf that three of the members
of the Assembly committee of five dp-
pointed to investigate the charges
made against Superior Judge Smith
of Santa Cruz County, by those who
would impeach him, are programmed
and will hold the investigation with
their minds made up to exonerate
Judge Smith.
The furor that the publication has
raised here and the determination on
the part of the Assemblymen alleged
to be programmed TO have the editor
cited for contempt have altogether
overshadowed the charges. against the
jurist. A lively time is expected when
the editor is hailed before the bar of
the Assembly.
The members of the committee that
the Surf boldly declares are pro-
grammed are Beardslee, Mccartney
and Atkinson. The article was head
ed will Do No Harm" and goes on
to say that the coming of the commit
tee will amount to nothing because of
the programming of the three men
named.
The three Assemblymen are looking
UP the law in the matter and say
there is plenty to justify contempt
proceedings. An editor was fined $500
in 1862 for contempt of the lower
house, they say. They will demand
that the Surf editor be brought be-
fore the Assembly and made to show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt. 1t will devolve upon
him, they claim, to prove that the
three accused by him are really pro-
grammed.
The other two members of the COM
mittee are Burke of Alameda and
Lumley of Tulare. the latter a Demo-
crat. the only one on the committee.
They have made the demand that the
editor of the Surf be brought to the
show that he cannot prove his alle-
CATION before the committee goes to
Santa Cruz to investigate. They say
they will not go till this is done.
The committee has decided to go to
Santa Cruz next Thursday and the
intention is to have the contempt
proceedings held before then.
