New Laws by the Late California
 Legislature

The late California legislature seems to have been a very industrious body judging from the grist of new laws they ground out.
 They passed 746 bills and Governor Pardee signed SIS of them. There were 54 amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure, 25O amendments to the Civil Code, about 25O to the Penal Code and 15O to the Political Code, making a total of about 725 amendments to the codes.
 The corporation laws are simply rid dled with changes. Entirely new arti cles have been added, for instance, mutual benefit and life associations, and corporations to discover fire and save property. Telegraph and telephone corporation laws are entirely remodeled. Boards of Trade, Chambers of Com merce, mechanics institutes, and similar bodies are provided with means of in- corporation now, and number of gen eral provisions for the government of all corporations are added.
 It is provided that all corporations for profit may issue certificates of stock when fully paid up, and also may issue stock prior to being fully paid up, but when so issued, it must be stated on the stock certificates what amount has been paid thereon.
 The marriage licanse law is remodeled and no license shall be issued to anyone under the influence of intoxicants. A full set of laws for the State Board of Health was adopted, and all sorts of laws for the punishment of bribery were enacted.
 One amendment to the Code of Civil Procedure of especial importance to the people of Imperial Valley is the amend ment to section 202l, which reaus as follows, concerning the taking of depo- sitions: Paragraph 2. That the depOs- tion of any witness may be taken, when he resides outside of the county in which his testimony is to be used, or resides in the county and more than fifty miles distant from the place of trial or hear ing, by the nearest usually travelled rOute." This amendment was adopted at tine request of our fellow tOwnsman G. H. P. Shaw, Esq, and will be of very great convenience to those of our citizens who are unfortunate enough to have court business at San Diego, as it will enable them to secure testimony in their cases without the expense and trouble of taking their witnesses to the county seat.

siderable attention yesterday was the ami
nal Joe Watts a trotter with n mark Of
2:10ia. owned by Archibald 6. Potter, and
purchased in Boston few months ago.
There was only one really good brush in
which Joe Watts took part. That was
with the trotter lie Garde owned and
driven by Burnside Clarke OF Woonsocket.

long straightaway and went the entire
distance head and head. When near the
finish line Joe Watts broke and spoiled

Miserable racing conditions and the

Mayor Johnson, releeaied TO the position
OF Third choice by the play on Niperine
and Song and Wine, took the third race
which was by far the most pretentious
OF the otherwise cheap card. Song and
Wine was made the opening choice. but
the report that he was not quite ready
caused him 10 go up a few points and
tho play was centred on Viperine Song
and Wine and Mayor Johnson broke to-
gether and at once slipped away from
the others When the stretch bend was
reached Song and Wines condition began
to tell and he slowly let go. Tommy

WOMEN
MUST STOP
PROFANITY

Carbondale. Pa, Feb. 1.-The Carbon
dale w G. T. L. proposes 70 begin cru
sade against the use of profanity, chiefly
among women. and will bring forward
their pleas in the following order
First-The widespread use In general
conversation of such words as MY
- ..eiit.e,e- Heavens MY God!' etc,
by some OF the members OF our churches.
both Protestant and Catholic, as we'll as
by women outside the church.
Second-The sin OF profanity. The Bible
distinctly forbids the use OF such words
as an offense against God which must
be punished. The third commandment
saws. Thou shalt not take the name OF
the Lord thy God in vain" and our homes
demand purity OF language.
Third-The danger 20 the home. society
and the country We believe our chill
dren are much as the mothers train them,
and II the next generation hear the name
Of God mentioned with 40 little respect
in everyday conversation there Will be
loosenng in the ties OF religion and con-
tempt for the church and a disregard for
the laws OF the country on whose dollars
are inscribed, I'm God We Trust" The
w. C. r. T.. believes that the pulpit and
the press are the most potent forces In
the world today and so we viii strive TO
interest the ministers In. our belief.
Our difficulty will lie I'm the fact that
we are a Protestant organization and
can possibly only reach Protestant
women, although we Will strive 10 have
a general crusade. as both Protestant and
Catholic alike are equally guilty In this
respect.
The subject is yet in its infancy, and
Il may develop into an anti-swearing
league.
We propose 10 discuss the matter at
our next meeting.
We believe such words 20 be beneath
n Christian No lady would venture 20
say them We believe the users OF them
are guilty of blasphemy, and we will
strive 10 push an active crusade in which,
ever way seems best TO us. whether by
pen. pulpit or press.

His excellency declares that the Judge

nouncement that the governor would re-
fuse To reappoint Judge Leverett NJ. Hub
bard Of the New Haven court OF common
pleas and Judge George II. Cowell OF the
district court OF Waterbury.
This news Is decidedly surprising, since
Judge Hubbard has as sponsors Congress-
men Lilley and Sperry. both OF whom are
wont 10 have their will in the matter
OF gubernatorial appointment. while Judge
Cowell has the formal Endorsement of the
district bar.
Judge Hubbard. indeed. was active I'm
the preliminary work for the nomination
OF Gov. Roberts while Judge Cowell,
formerly Judge advocate general on the
staff OF Gov Lounsberry. has long been
looked upon as tower OF Republican
strength In the country districts.

much time to investigation OF the courts.
