The Horton bill continuing the new
capitol in the hands of the capitol com
mission for two years was reported out
by the house appropriations committee,
to go on the calendar for final passage
next Tuesday,
the committee's report, claiming that
the bill had been rewritten, while the
committee was only to pass on the ap-
preparation. He did not become aware
of the situation till after the report had
been adopted, and just before adjourn
ment he moved reconsideration.
Mr.. Hickey declared that when the
bill was referred, Feb. II, it was with
the express understanding and ruling
from the speaker that The committee
was only to pass Oh the appropriation.
rewritten the bill and in his opinion
changed it's sense. The powers of the
commission over the building had been
increased, and the Rockne amendment
providing that supplies should be
bought by the board of control, was
changed Sc the capitol commission
should buy it's supplies "thru the
board Of CONTROL The report put the
bill on the calendar, where it could
not be amended.
Chairman Roberts of the appropria-
lions committee, who was not in favor
of the Horton bill, explained that as
amended on general orders, the bill
made no sense, and he rewrote it, sug-
costing that it 60 back to committee Of
the whole. The committee decided diff
ferently. He maintained that under
the house rules the committee had the
right to amend the bill in any way, but
had not changed the sense Of it. The
committee had raised the annronriation
cut by the house to $4,000, back to
100000
Messrs. Lewis, Timberlake, Ander-
son and Perley stood by the appro-
priations committee, while Messrs,
Lennon and O 'Laughlin fought to send
the bill back to general orders. The
motion to reconsider was lost.

GRAFT CHARGES
BANDED BACK
WARM TIME AT HEARING ON THE
FLOWER BILL.
Member of Board of Control Alleges
that Builders Urging the Bill Have
Leagued Themselves with print
ers' Graft-George M. Gillette Al
leges Favoritism in Iron and Steel
Contracts.

Two sensational charges were made
before the house committee on. gen
eral legislation yesterday at the hear
ing on the Flower bill to compel publ
cation of all bids received by the state
board of control.
One charge was made by member of
the board Of control against those back
ter charge against the board by large
bidder. S. W. Leavett Of the board
appeared against the bill, and declared
that it's object included "graft' for
certain daily newspapers, who would
get $4,000 each year in advertising
if the bill became law. The bill was
based on "printers' graft" He de-
clared that attacks against the board
could always be TRACED to the CRATER
the board. The bull ders present to
urge the bill roared in anger at the
charge, and Mr.. Leavett explained that
he was not accusing any one present.
He declared that the printing combine
had grated on state printing in former
years to the extent of hundreds of
thousands. He said if he could print
the bluebook at the figures paid two
years ago he would take the profits
Mr.. Leavett said that If the board
made figures public on buildings, it
would also have to on supplies, and az
low bids could never be secured if they
we're made public.
George M. Gillette of Minneapolis
then spoke for the bill and resented
the imputation that friends Of the bill
were grafters. He then threw in shot
at the board, declaring that practically
all the contracts for iron and steel let
by the board in the last two years had
gone to company whose secretary was
a brother of the board g architect, Clar-
ence H. johnson of St. Paul. He said
that his own company had bid down
to cost, but was unable to get the con-
tracts. r,., - -. -.. w.. 49,

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Effect
ual Cure for 1t

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
curable The usual symptoms are
full or bloating sensation after eating
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
general played-out, languid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen
1t would show a Shiny, infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet composed OF
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals
Mr.. r. S. Workman Chicago, ILL.,,
writes: "Catarrh is a LOCAL condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes infamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, this producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for
catarrh Of stomach without cure, but
today am the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets. l cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling.
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use"
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation, as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh OF
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

the gelding was not there.
The Pasadena handicap, third on the
card, served az a magnet Of attraction
to racegoers, and one Of the largest and
most representative gatherings of the
season was at the track. The weather
was ideal-warm, yet invigorating, with
bright sunshine to make glad the hearts
Of the eastern horsemen that were not
mixed up with the nurries of the snow,
Ike their brethren in New York, who
were pounding the pavements in quest
Of good things" The attendance was
fully 5000 and, as all went out to the
track to speculate, business in the ring
among the seventeen bookmakers was
brisk from the beginning to the end of
the sport. The chakmen found so
much wise money in evidence that
many of them we're almost put out of
commission. The Butte club, of which
Bob Widney is the principal owner,
quit after the handicap and turned in
their slate. It is said that the concern
lost $4,000 to the win of oxford alone.
Altogether it was the best racing card
over presented by the Los Angeles
Jockey club that greeted the talent yes
terday. While only three favorites won,
the three other horses to get home in
front were well played, which accounts
for the bad break the pencilers got after
all was said and done.
Ben Lear was selected as the favor
ite for the opening event, which was
for 3-year-ods and upward to go over
the Slauson course. Marlborough was
played by some of the wise ones, but
his owner, Harry Stover, thought very
little of him and it is said was content
with a little wager for third place.
Herbert, who is just now riding in
pretty good form, handled Marlborough
to perfection and won easily by cou-
pie of lengths. Ben Lear was an easy
second with Durbar third. Edinbor-
ough's price was 4 to 1, while Ben Lear
was held at to 1.

Ananias and Sir Wilfred were the

afternoon. Ananias and Sir Wilfred
made new track records IN their re-
spective races while Honiton carried
1874 pounds to victory in the Follansbee
handicap, running seven furlongs In
the fast time of 1926 IL.
There were 25 bookmakers in line and
betting was keen, despite dissatisfac-
ton over the racing game in the past
few days. Nine faced the barrier in
the handicap. Martinmas was always
the favorite at to 1 while the price
against Honitou was three and four
to one. Tocolaw was taken out In the
lead closely pressed by Honiton. Hon
iton drew away in the stretch and won
cleverly. Martlnmas, somewhat inter-
fered with, came with a belated rush
and got up dangerously close.
Leila won the fifth race from MAJOR
Mansir who closed UP a big gap last
part coming from last place.
Ananias won the last race from start
to finish. He ran the three-quarters
in 1913, the mile in 1889 and the mile
