Washington. March 15.-When the
Santo Domingo treaty was taken up
In executive session of the senate Sen.
ator Teller again made a plea for an
open session for the discussion of law
points which, he said, were involved
In the treaty. He said that Ii was de-
sirable on matters of this character

make the people understand just what
was proposed to be done under the
treaty.
The senate committee on foreign re

Teller for the efforts IL had made to
satisfactorily amend the treaty and he
declared that the convention, with
perhaps one or two additional amend.

impossible to amend the treaty SO that

He declared that the policy to be en-
barked upon under the treaty was
contrary to our form OF government
and dangerous precedent to estab-

Willemstadt, Island of Curacao,
March 16.-Advices received here from
Caracas, Venezuela, announce that the

and Bermudez Asphalt company

COUNCIL ACTS ON GENERAL
OTIS SUGGESTION
PUBLIC HEARING is ORDERED
Allegations of the Sixth Ward Coun=
Gilman That the City Is Over
charged by the Times viii
Be Probed

BY order of the council certain over
charges, alleged to have been made by
the Los Angeles Times in regard to the
city printing contract, will be inves-
tigated two weeks from today In public
session by special committee ap-
pointed for the purpose.
A letter was received yesterday by
the council from Gen. Harrison Gray
Otis, president and general manager
of the Times-Mirror company, dealing
with the allegations which have been
made from time to time both in Los
Angeles newspapers and on the floor of
the council.
In his communication it is stated that
when the contract was made last June
it was changed by some city official in
such a manner that it no longer agreed
with the specifications, and did not
when it was executed.
The chief contention was said to be
the size of type which is used. The
communication stated that the Times
had the right to use nonpariel If it
chose, which runs twelve lines to the
inch. Had this been done it is claimed
the city printing to date for the current
fiscal year would have amounted to
about $4,000 instead of $4,000, as it has
cost the city.
The communication further stated
that it was impossible to set 51a point
agate, type fourteen lines to the inch, as
the type would if it was this size run
slightly under thirteen lines to the
inch, and the specifications called for
thirteen lines.
Gen. Otis called for an investigation
to be held Immediately but wanted only
fair men on the board of investigation.
Just prior to the afternoon session of
the council Gen. Otis called in person
at the mayors office and was closeted
with the acting mayor and number
of councilmen for some time.

BOoDLER BUNKERS' CONVICTION

Another notable triumph for California justice was
recorded in the conviction of former Senator Bunkers
for the crime of bribery in his official capacity.
The conviction is especially important because 1t
foreshadows presumably the fate of the other three
expelled senatorial booders The criminal indictments
were alike in the and the other set
for early trial If convictions result in the remaining
cases the citizens of California will have for
thanksgiving.
If the verdict in the Bunkers case stands against
legal tactics in motion for trial, the boodler
statesman will sentenced to in state prison.
The law mandatory in of this kind, imposing
a penalty of Imprisonment ranging from to four
years.
There could be nothing effective as deterrent
Imprisonment for all of the bribed senators. Down to
The moment of the verdict announced in the Bunkers
case not them seemed to take the criminal
cution seriously They believed doubt that it would
be an easy matter at least to disagreement of
the Jury with the ultimate failure of the prosecution
stand for the right in a of this character. de-
fendant who has been shining political light is apt to
have ways and means of influencing more jurors.
For this reason there would have been surprise if
the Bunkers case had ended in disagreement of the
jury.
If the four legislative boodlers adorn the inside of
prison walls as they likely do lesson will be
given to legislators with itching palms that will long be
remembered in California.

NOT A FIGHTING ISSUE

A sentiment that should pervade all classes Of Los
Angeles citizens concerning the pending saloon issue
was expressed by the president Of the snsaloon meet
ing held Sunday afternoon
It was a business mems meeting ostensiby, but
there we're present comparatively few of that class
whose names are generally familiar. The president of
the meeting was a notable exception to the rule He
is not only leading business and capitalist Of this
CITY, but leader in all good works, including that OF
practical temperance reform.
In opening the meeting in question President Rindse
said: I'VE ought to go into this contest with malice
toward none, but with charity for all We must
remember that our opponents are human beings ike
ourselves men of trained differently from ours
that we perhaps would be like them had we had their
training and their views of life"
Entirely too much of the militant spirit has been ex-
hbited already in the agitation of the saloon issue We
hear great deal about "fghting" and downing" one
side or the other If the people of Los Angeles were
arrayed in hostile battle lines 1t is noticeable however
that this spirit manifested chiefly by certain profes-
slonal reformers, who nonresidens and who seem
to be acuated only by an inherent liking Tor agaton'
Now, the citizens of Los Angeles are giving very
serious consideration to the movement aiming at the
elimination of the saloons AS The Herald has said
heretofore all citizens have at heart the best interests
of the community, and all are striving to make Los
Angeles greater and better.
In regard to the liquor traffic, probably not one
per cent of the people of this city will deny that is an
unmtigated evil
Three-fourths of our electors and probably much
larger nroportion would vote abolish the saloons If
thew believed the proposition to be practicable
yide regard
ing the feasibility of radical change, and II is
merely that difference of opinion that is at issue now
But why should there be any fight or any un
pleasantness whatever proposition that involves
mere difference of opinion among people who are all
striving for the public veal? 1t is ridiculous to charac
terize such difference in of the prize ring and 1t
is harmful to the community to stir bitterness be-
tween citizens who have different views questions OF
public
The saloon issue soon will be decided by the popular
vote Every voter should cast his ballot his judg
ment tells him is for the best interests OF the COM
runitv It is not an emotional sentimental subject
that now is engaging public attention 1t is not matter
calling for agitation and excitement On the contrary
if is of the highest importance Los Angeles that the
issue be thoughtfuy considered by all voters and that
the ultimate verdict be in accordance with the deliberate
Judgment of the majority
