SACRAMENTO, June s.-A vote of
As 70 is in the Assembly late this af
ternoon sounded the knell Of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment per-
mitting San Francisco and San Jose to
amend their charters during the next
having the amendments ratified by the
Legislature Despite the urgency of
the appeals OF the representatives from
San Francisco, aided by those of sew
ersI Assemblymen from other parts of
Ehe State, there were enough votes TO
defeat the measure under the reQuir-
ment Of a tWo-thirds vote. Assembly
man Hartman of san Francisco an
nounced his intention 10 move for a
reconsideration of the vote tomorrow

system which il would be enabled TO
procure under the proposed amend
ment.
Olmsted of san Rafael proposed an
amendment 10 the bill providing that
two-thirds of the voters of San Fran
cisco tndorse the proposed charter
amendments instead of majority as
called for in the bill Goodrich of
Pasadena seconded Olmsted's amend
ment. This brought Beardslee of Stock
ton 70 his feet in defense Of San Fran
cisco. He maintained that San Fran
cisco voters should be entrusted with
rheir own welfare and be enabled TO
meet their own requirements of the
next two years.

INSURANCE RATES ADVANCE.
New Schedule Is Soon to Go Into Efec'
at Omaha.

OMAHA, June S.-A new schedule of
insurance rates amounting to fiat
advance of about s per cent on all bust
ness buildings and about 10 per cent on
stocks of goods in Omaha is to go into
direct shortly as consequence, 1t is
understood, of the heavy loss in San
Francisco.
An inspector of the Chicago insur-
ance inspection bureau has been in
Omaha looking over the situation and
has returned to make his report. Lo-
cal underwriters say Oamha has had a
moderately low rate. having had credit
for excellent fire protection They ex-
planned that the increase will be great
er on stocks than on buildings because
under the present schedule the loss has
always been greater on goods. AS an
example the fire al Hayden Bros de-
partment store last Sunday is cited.
The building was not damaged q parti-
cle and yet water ruined nearly half
a million dollars worth of goods.

distrustfully and that TO him the Dill
appeared right and necessary.
MCGOWAN of San Francisco then
closed with an appeal for the passage
of the bill He said that it was sell
dom that San Francisco had in the
past asked anything of the Legislature
under the guise of supplication. He
was interrupted by Goodrich. who
asked whether the amendments made
by the people of San Francisco during
the next two years would stand in the
charter of the next fifty years. On be-
ing assured that such might be the
case, both Goodrich and Busick cast
their votes against the measure appar-
entity oblivious 10 the fact that the
people of San Francisco would always
have il within their power to repeal a
charter amendment obnoxious to them.
MCGOWAN closed by threatening the
legislators who opposed the granting
of this legislation with the displeasure
of the people of San Francisco and San
Jose when those cities are rehabilitat-
ed and when they shall come to them
asking legislative aid,

of the President to Chairman Wads-

THE WHITE HOUSE. WASHING
TON, D. c., June S--My Dear Mr.. Wads-
worth In accordance with re-
quest l send you herewith the two re-
ports of inspection by the committee
appointed by the Department to Of Agri-
culture on April and 13. This COM
mittee had already been appointed
when 1 notified the Secretary that |
desired that such commission should
be appointed in order to make the in
vestigation. Subsequent complaints TO
me and the consideration of complaints
already made showed that the charges
were not only against the packing
houses. but also to a certain extent
reflected upon the action OF the Gov
ernment inspectors, and / came TO the
investigation made by outside indi-
viduals who could not be charged with
being in any way interested in the mat
| ter.
the investigation by the Department OF
/ Agriculture. / directed Mr. Neill and
Mr.. Reynolds TO make an inveSugatlon,
| the first report of which has been laid
! before Con gress- Much testimony has
| been offered to us which has not been
considered in this report. for Mr.. Neill
and Mr. Reynolds in this report conhne
themselves to stating. in more or less
/ summary way, the facts as TO which
| they had been eyewitnesSes. and what
| they have said cannot be successfully
| controverted-
Some of the ground traversed by
Messrs. Neill and Reynolds is not
| touched upon in the report of the COM
mittee of the Agricultural Department
As to the ground covered in common
| by the reports of the two Investigating
| committees there is no conflict in sub
| stance as to the important matters al
| though there is a marked difference in
emphasis. this being partially due u
report of the committee of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. In my Judgment
| the emphasis of the report of MesSrs
Neill and Reynolds is abundantly justi-
! fed by the facts.

Walks Are Icy.

There Is considerable number of
very icy sidewalks in the city and the
wonder is that there are not more
injuries than have been reported. In
many places where the snow is deep
and troughs have been dug along the
walks hollow, slippery walk has re-
suited from the frequent thaws and
freezes so that pedestrians are COM
PEELED to dodge from side to side to
maintain equilibrium. Even in the
business streets in many places the
walks are so icy that walking is dan
gerous. In the residence districts
many people have taken to walking
In the middle of the streets and over
the snow to avoid slipping. A num-
Der of citizens have sprinkled ashes
on the walks frequently, but some
places the ice is glary and no at
tempt is made to improve conditions.
Several people have experienced hard
falls in the past few days. With
few days of warm weather most of
the ice will be melted and nature will
clear the walks, but at the present
time accident insurance policies are
considered good investments.
