ROBERTS IS SCORED
FOR REWRITING BILL
Fight to Get Horton Capitol
Bill Back to General
Orders Fails

The fact that w. p. Roberts, chair
man of the house appropriations COM
mittee, had exceeded his authority In
rewriting the Horton capitol bill while
in committee, resulted in brisk fight
on the floor Of the house yesterday.
The acceptance Of the report of the
committee will place the bill on the
calendar, where it cannot be amended,
on Tuesday. James r. Hickey of Ram
sey led an unsuccessful fight to restore
the bill to general orders, where Ii is
subject to amendment.
The acceptance of the committee re-
port, which carried with ii the re-
written bill, was over with before 4
score of members knew what had hap
pened. Later Mr.. Hickey, seeing that
the committee had brought in an al
most new bill, made his motion to re-
consider the vote and to commit the
bill to general orders. The power of
the appropriations committee with
legislators who are interested in ap-
propriations which must bear the COM
mittee's o. K was seen when the mo-
ton was supported by only handful
of members. Self-interest was seen to
be stronger than the sense of justice.
Roberts Rewrote Bill
When the bill was originally refer
Ieu " the appropriations committee
Speaker Clague ruled that the COM
mittee was limited to changing the
amount Of the appropriation carried
by the bill. Chairman Roberts admit
ted under fire yesterday that he had
written the bill anew, but he denied
that the new bill had material changes
from the amended Horton bill sent to
his committee. He had advised re-
turning 1t to general orders, but had
been outvoted by his committee. They
had not cared to again chance the bill
in a position where il could be
amended.
The committees bill increases the
amount of the appropriation for main
tenance of the new capitol from $40, 600
to $4,000. The powers of the commits
sion in relation to the building had
been. more distinctly stated in the new
bill, and the commission is authorized
to purchase coal supplies through the
board of control. The question is now
whether the capitol commission may
not have the 100000 appropriation,
while the board of control will be re-
quired to purchase the coal, the most
expensive item in the list of supplies.
Lemon on Anxious Seat
]. G. Lennon arraigned Chairman
Roberts for attempting to dictate to
the house in rewriting the bill, and NJ.
]. o'Laughlin pleaded with the house
to be fair and put the bill on general
orders. r. T. Lewis, NJ. d. Flower, w.
B. Anderson. George E. Perley and
others defended the appropriations
committee, and Walter I. Lemon of
Ramsey manifested a decided interest
in rushing the bill to the calendar.
The Ramsey county Republican or
ganization is said to fear the loss of
patronage if anything happens to the
Horton bill. for in the nature of things
the patronage belongs to the gov
ernor.

Urges improvement Plan
on Municipal Legislators
FAVORS TREE PLANTING
Suggests That Beach OH the
South Side of the Island
BE Made More Attractive

ALAMEDA, June U.-Manager John H.
Hartog of the Alameda Advancement As
sociation has submitted a letter of sug-
gestions for the improvement and beau
tifying of the municipality to the Board
of City Trustees and that body has as
sured him that it will carry out his rec
concentrations as far as it is practicable
to do so.
Manager Hartog favors systematic tree
planting along the streets and avenues,
and the cementing of cutters to prevent
the growth of weeds that now take root
between the stones that form the drains.
He also favors the establishment by the
City Trustees of fiat rate of so cents
a month for electric porch lights, as he
believes that If such rate were fixed
nearly every householder could afford one
and the illumination of the city would be
greatly increased. Another matter that
Manager Hartog called to the attention
Of the municipal legislators is the better
policing of the beach on the south side.
The beach Is a popular resort for women
and children during the summer season,
and many Of the visitors there have COM
planned of the dumping of waste material
along the sands.
President w. j. Gorham of the City
Trustees has instructed the heads of the
several municipal departments to assist
Manager Hartog in carrying out his plans
for improving the city. Speaking of his
work Manager Hartog said: Alameda is
beautiful city in spots. The spots are
what we must beautify and improve. Our
streets are superior to any In California,
but they, too, can be bettered We have
not appreciated the value of our beach
as resort, and we should not overlook
anything that might add to its attractive

SENSATIONAL ANSWER
Alleges That He Executed
Promiss0ry Note Under
DureSs.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, June 21.-M. Diepen-
brock to-day filed an answer to a suit
brought by w. Grain to recover $1400 on
a promissory note. In February, 1904,
Diepenbrock bought from w. E. Dargie
of Oakland 22O0 shares of the stock of
the Idora Amusement Park of Oakland,
paying $500 in cash and executing a prom
issory note for s95O0. Diepenbrock alleges
that Dargie grossly misrepresented the
receipts of the amusement enterprise, and
that instead of the stock returning 40
per cent interest, as Dargie Is alleged to
have represented, the expenses were in
excess of the receipts. The answer alleges
that on March s, 1904, Dargie wrote dep
enbrock he was hard pressed for money,
and that if he did not pay the balance
OH The note Dargie would advertise 1t for
sale in the Sacramento papers. The note
was transferred to Grain, and it is al
legged he came to Sacramento and threat
ened to circulate 10000 copies of a state
ment written by Dargie' that Diepnbrock
had tried to repudiate a debt. Diepen-
brock AYERS that had this been done it
would have forced him into bankruptcy,
so under duress he executed a note for
s140o to Grain, as the representative of
Dargie. Diepenbrock is the son-in-law of
the late A. Coolot, long rated as the
wealthiest merchant in Sacramento.

EXPERTS UILL FIGHT
GRAIJHOpPERJ.
Professors Say Pest
Is Worst EUer
in State.
Many Methods to Be
Ir1ed to Stay
The Plague.

BERKELEY. June 21.-In response to
urgent entreaties for help from the farm
ers OF California who are suffering from
the greatest plague of grasshoppers that
has visited the State in forty years, Pro-
fessor c. NJ. Woodwork left the uni
verslty to-day TO begin a campaign
against the destructive pest.
Professor Woodwork will go first to
Natoma in Sacramento County and then
to Corning in Tehama County, where the
Srasshoppers are now raging in such
numbers as to endahger all of the crops
in their path. From these points the
university scientist will travel to other
afflicted districts and Systematically wage
war.
Strange stories are being sent in from
the country districts regarding the dep
relations Of these hordes of "hoppers,'
narratives of their work including ac-
counts Of clothes on clothes lines eaten
UP. Professor Woodwork. instead of
doubling these strange reports, confirms
them. saying to-day that the half has
not been told of the terrible work.
Three years ago these grasshoppers
actually ate the letters off tomb
stones in Roseville said Professor
Woodworth, the chronological expert of
the Agricultural College. THAT sounds
like Baron Munchausen story, but it is
true. 1t should be said perhaps that the
tombstones were made of wood, but even
al that the destructiveness of the insects
was extraordinary. They will eat any
thing in their path into which they can
set their teeth, and growing crops they
simply sweep out of the way"
The present plague Of grasshoppers is
declared by Professor Woodwork to be
the worst in California since 1855, when
the insects wrought the greatest havoc
in agricultural districts recorded in the
States history In that year the papers
ehronicled the complete destruction OF
nearly every crop.
The loss TO the farmers then amounted
to hundreds of thousands of dollars
Professor Woodwork, describing the
methods he and his helpers will use in
their campaign, which is now to be COM
menced. says that the plans will vary
according to the age of the insects that
are TO be eXterminated. When they are
young and unable TO fly burning is the
most effective plan. 1t is often the case,
however, that in that stage of growth
the vegetation upon which they are
feeding is too green to burn. Plowing-in
is resorted to in other instances and at
other stages a poisonous mixture. in
cluding arsenic, bran and molasses, is
used and the pests perish in large num-
bers when this is spread in their path.

CENTRAL CLUB
HEARS REPORTS
Mayor Is Inclined to the
Proposition of Removing
Site of the City Hall

OAKLAND June 21.-The Central Inn
provement Club met this morning in the
chambers of the City Council, and the
executive committee, which has been Ia
boring for the last week with the Coun-
Gil made a report. President Abraham
son addressed the meeting in part as
follows:
We claim the following: That the City
Hall stands in the way OF progress.
mat the removal OF the City Hall will be
a great benefit to our beautiful city.
That the city of Oakland owns the land
where the building stands and therefore has
the remedy in its own hands.
That the charter gives the Council the right
TO pass an ordinance removing this blockade
and opening this thoroughfare to the public
G. That by opening up washington street to
frontages of entire block in the very heart
of the business center
That public safety demands that this street
be opened to relieve the congestion now exist
Ing at the corner of Fourteenth street and
Broadway
Oakland must work out It's own salvation.
All citizens are awake to the possibilities that
are in store for this city.
The executive committee appointed last FRI
day has had interview with Mayor Mott,
who seems favorably disposed to any improve
ment for the benefit of Oakland
When the president had concluded At
torney w. R. Davis made an address
strongly favoring the project.
After Attorney Davis had completed
his talk E. A. Bushell asked If the
project included the building of new
City Hail.
President Abrahamson replied that was
entirely within the province of the City
Council. but that the opening of Wash
ington street would be the first step in
the direction of a new City Hail.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chair.
The Public Improvement Committee of
the City Council tonight listened to
speeches from Washington street mer-
chants on the opening project. Mayor
Mott spoke, saying he believed the open
ing of the street to be a commercial ne
cessity. but he was not in favor of build
ing new City Hall on the present site
or the plaza He suggested that a new
site might be acquired, but that the pub
lie should have ample opportunity to dis
cuss the project in all Of it's phases.
