Joint Endorsement
Denied Attorney

Colleague Flint Should
Be Consulted.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. - Senator
Bard to-day saw the President, to urge
the reappointment of Marshall B.
Woodwork as United States District
Attorney for the Northern District of
California. Before doing so he asked
Senators Perkins to join him in the re-
quest, but the latter said he did not
think it proper that he should do so,
inasmuch as it was IN arroIntment the
term of which would extend through a
large portion of the term of Bard S
successor and he therefore felt that
he should consult the latter befores
taking any action. He said, however.
that he would make no protest should
the President be disposed to make the
appointment.
Senator elect Flint wrote to Senator
Perkins some days ago, asking that he
use his influence to have the appoint
ment held up for the time being, and
this letter Senator Perkins laid before
the President.
The term of office of District Attor-
ney Woodwork expires on March 2.
Bard will be Senator until March 4,
and he insists that his voice should
hold good in such matters until that
day. Especially should it in this case,
ne says, IN view or the strong 1ndOrSe-
ment of his candidate which he has
filed and which includes most, if not
all, District and Circuit Judges.
Some time ago Luther G. Brown of
Los Angeles was a candidate to fill the
vacancy then existing as Assistant
United States Attorney under Wood
worth. His candidacy was championed
by Representative McLachlan. Sena-
tor Bard refused to indorse Brown So
did Woodwork. This, Senator Bard
thinks, is the reason for opposition to
the reappointment of Woodworth
Robert T. Devlin of Sacramento, for
mer State Senator, is a candidate for
the place and in case Woodwork does
not get the appointment at once it is
understood that Devlin will receive the
support of Senator Perkins. The Sena-
ator says Woodwork is a candidate
for Judge of the Court of Claims and
was mentioned for the judgeship in the
new district pl opposed to be created.
He refuses to indorse him as a. candi-
date for so many offices.

Jury MAN
PRAYS FOR
INSPIRATION

RENO, Jan. 30.-After being out six
ty-four hours while standing eleven for
conviction of murder in the second de-
gree to one for acquittal, the jury in
the case of Al Linderman was dis
charged from custody to-day.
Linderman, with three companions,
was charged with numbering Jack
Welch on freight train near Winne-
mucca two years ago. About three
weeks ago his companions were found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged.
Linderman made several confessions
to the crime and his own admissions
placed him as much in the wrong as
the condemned men.
Despite the strong evidence, one
juror held out from first to last for ac-
quittal. His name is George Smith.
He claims that he received an inspira-
ton from God that Linderman is in
nocent and voted accordingly Every
time his fellow jurors would plead
with him Smith would retire TO cor
ner and pray for few minutes and re-
turn with the announcement that the
divine power told him to stand firm.
Linderman's case was transferred
here from Humboldt County on a
change of venue and his trial has al
ready cost that county large sum of
money. His home is in Stockton. Cal.
He has long criminal record, at one
time having been arrested in Fresno
County.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 30.-The climax
of a morning of busy discussion of the
merits of bills in the Senate came at
noon when William Corbin, in custody
of two assistant sergeants at arms,
was taken before the bar Of the Senate.
"Mr. President" said one Of the off,
GERS, "Mr. Corbin is at the bar of the
Senate"
Corbin turned and swept his eyes
over the assemblage and for a. moment
every one seemed confused. One of the
pages took in the situation. however,
and without waiting to find If his
course was proper, carried chair up
to the desk and asked Corbin to be
seated. This relieved the strain and
the clerk, in obedience to the direction
of the chair, began to read the reason
under which the warrant for Corbin's
arrest was issued.
The reading of the resolution had just
been concluded when Corbin was

Senator Selvage arose and moved
that Corbin AND his attorney be per-
mitted the privileges of the floor. This
was granted and then Leavitt moved
that Corbin be called upon to give such
reasons as he could why he should not
be punished for contempt. Attorney
Niccl rose and said:

Committee on Commissions and Re-
trenchments.
BIDING HIS TIME.
HE disobeyed this subpoena o the
direction of his counsel and if his
counsel was in error, he meant no con-
fession on his part that he did not
have full confidence in his ability to
maintain his honor in any investiga-
ton that might arise. In disobeying
this subpoena, he meant no disrespect,
no contempt, but he bided his time that
he might appear before the Senate sit
ting in general session and explain
his position.
I'VE maintain that this Senate has
no common law power, no mower to
issue processes or hale before il any
person or corporation it NAV wish un-
der a blanket subpoena. There are no
statutes that grant it such powers
they only exist by surmise. 1t would
be manifest injustice to compel Mr..
Corbin and the association he repre-
sents to bring two carloads of books to
Sacramento and suspend it's business
while the committee investigated it's
mode of business at it's leisure. There
must be some specific proceeding upon
which the Legislature wishes to act
before it's processes become effective
and this view is sustained by opinions
Of many of the highest courts of the
land"
Nicol here quoted various authori-
ties sustaining his position and ther
proceeded:
why is Mr.. Corbin here before the
bar of this Senate to-day? 1 dare say
there are few people in the State who
have not heard of the Continental
Building and Loan Association, of
which this respondent is secretary and
! manager. 1t was organized in 1889
with a capital stock of $20.000,00O, OF
| which $17, 100000 was subscribed and
| S3,170,000 actually paid in. 1t has

was often heard to express herself
as ready to depart this life, her

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing Gods praise
Than when We first begun.
I'm going to yonder bright glory
o seek not to draw me aside;
The heavenly boaIman is waiting
To ferry me over the tide.
I'm going TO yonder bright glory
All hail, happy angels! I come,
My Savior is there to receive me
And welcome me into my home.
Funeral services were held at
Wesley Chapel, conducted by her
pastor Rev. j. S. Dowden assisted
