houses Of the Legislature finally ad-
5Ourned this afternoon a large num-
Der Of the many bills introduced dur
ing the session died for lack Of time to
put them through or attention on the
part Of those who introduced them OF
the hundreds OF bills that have gone to
tie Governor, some are bad, some good
and many Of Indifferent merit The
sess on mas accomplished some big leg
islauOn, though, that viii make it a
historical one in the annals Of CaIifor-
MIA and il has left to many hold0ver
committees the work OF making in
VestigatiOns Of certain subjects and re-
porting needed legislation to the next
session.
The usual gifts were made and i'm
pressiYe ceremonies were carried out in
both houses. Statutory employees were
voted money for post-session services
supposed TO be performed by them and
altogether the scenes of final adjourn
ment were like those witnessed at the
close Of past sessions.
MILLINERY AND BOUQUETS.
In the Assembly no regular business
was transacted save the formal ap-
proval OF the Engrossment and Enroll
ment Committees report and the pass
ing Of a resolution appointing hold
over committee to investigate building g
and loan concerns and recommend leg
islation two years hence, the Senate
having rejected the request of the low
er house 10 appoint joint committee
for that purpose, the rejection being
due to the turning down by the lower
house Of the Objectionable building and
loan bill
In the Senate the file had also been
cleared, but a final fling was taken on
the score Of the building and loan fight
by refusing to confirm the appointment
OF A. Sbarboro Of San Francisco as a
- trustee of the San Francisco State
Normal School Sbarboro is secretary
Of several local associations of San
Francisco.
The woman attaches of both houses
appeared generally in new millinery
and gowns, there were flowers on
many desks and the combination
frightened the scene. On desks in front
Of the bars Of both houses reposed sew
eral costly tokens and the throng in
the lobby waited with expectancy to
find out who were TO be the lucky re-
cipients.

pretty picture when the doors were
opened for the last day of the session
Ladies representing various societies
that have been favored by the Legisla-
ture had placed flowers on each of the
desks.
The first action Of the Senate occa-
stoned great surprise. 1t was the re-
fusal TO confirm the appointment by
Governor Pardee Of A. Sbarboro Of San
Francisco as trustee of the San Fran
cisco Normal School twenty-seven Vot-
ing against the confirmation. The ac-
tiOn Of the Senate against SbarborO
was the result Of q decision reached in
caucus and was the outgrowth Of the
building and loan fight that has agi-
tated the Legislature since its opening
day 1t was partly through the op-
position Of Sbarboro to the Senate
Committee building and loan bill that
ii was defeated in the Assembly. This
angered the Senate and hence it re-
fused TO confirm his appointment by
the Governor.
The testimony taken by the commit
tee that framed the building and loan
bill" said one of the committee this
morning, developed the fact that
SbarborO receives $11.0 600 salary each
year as the secretary Of four small To-
cal building and loan associations.
Then he came here and opposed this
bill"
Belshaw introduced a resolution
after this question had been disposed
of, requesting the Attorney General
the mandamus proceedings against the
Senate instituted by Boodlers Emmons
French, Wright and Bunkers. in a last
effort TO regain their seats in the up-
per house The resolution was adopted
without dissent.
