MURDER CHARGE
IS NOT PROVED
Woman Accused Of Staying
Her Husband Is
Released.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, June 5.-After an
examination which consumed two days
Mrs. Alberta Storrs, who was accused of
Storrs, at Monrovia, was discharged
from custody today. In dismissing the
case the examining magistrate stated
that he was not convinced of the in
nocence of the defendant; in fact, he
felt that she was either guilty directly
or had a guilty knowledge of the crime,
but owing to the manifest impossibility
of securing a conviction the case was
not carried to the Superior Court,
Storrs was the black sheep son of an
English family. and had been a remit
tance man. When he died from the ef-
fects of pistol shot about three months
ago 1T was first supposed that he had
committed suicide, but suspicious cir
cumstances were discoyered which led
to the arrest of his wife on charge of
murder. The life led by the couple was
not the kind most approved in good
society. Storrs drank heavily and his
wife was not averse to the cup. On the
night of the killing there had been a
drunken revel at the Storrs' home, in
which several men participated.
The couple quarreled and Mrs. Storrs
went to bed, leaving the men in the
kitchen. Storrs came to her room, it is
supposed for the purpose of making her
accompany him to a friends house, but
she refused Then, she says, he dis
played revolver and threatened to kill
her and himself The weapon was dis
charged and Storrs was killed
/, The prosecution sought to show that
the woman desired to rid herself of her
husband because of her alleged liking
for others, but in this effort the District
Attorney was not successful. The dis
closure of the private life of the Storrs
made anything but pretty picture. All
of their shortcomings were aired in
court. but no direct evidence was pro-
duced to connect the woman with the
crime, If crime it was.

Il had been intended to start this pro-
duction on July 4. but agents of Mr..
Hearst advised him that it would be
difficult TO appropriate all of the phases
of the national holiday to Mr.. Hearst's S
giorifcation, so Mr.. Hearst generously
retired TO give the nation chance to
cele ebrate its anniversary.
At the same time il was announced
with authority that Mr. Hearst would

vention as a candidate for Governor.

COLLINS AF TER
JUDGE BURNETT
Perjurer Asks the Legislature
to Impeach the Santa
Rosa Jurist.
Makes an Urgent Appeal to the
Speaker Of the Lower
House.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, June 5.-Whether at
his own election or by a decree of fate.
Speaker Thomas e. Atkinson is the
champion of the self-styled prosecuted.
After busying himself all day yesterday
circulating petition for the release
of Suffers Rebstock, Steffens and Wy
man an additional burden on behalf of
the convicted was thrust on Atkinson
today when he received a petition from
George ID. Collins demanding that
Judge Burnett of Sonoma, before whom
Collins was convicted of perjury, be
impeached for alleged misconduct.
In his petition Collins demands that
Burnett be impeached on the ground
that he committed willfully malicious
and illegal act against the petitioner
when he set aside the writ of probable
cause presented to the Supreme Court
by Collins and sent the convicted at
torney to San Quentin prison. This
action was taken by Judge Burnett the
morning of the San Francisco earth
escape of the defendant during the ex-
citement of the confia gra ton.
Collins further alleges in his petition
for the Impeachment of Judge Burnett
that the Judge arbitrarily refused to
give him a hearing on the settlement
of the bill of exceptions from which
Collins took his appeal from the judg-
ment of conviction. Collins asserts that
Judge Burnett accepted the statement
of the District Attorney entirely in the
settlement of the bill of exceptions and
asserts that this. as well as other al
legged wrongful acts of the Sonoma jur-
ist, are grounds for impeachment
AS the right of appeal is the one that
cannot be denied any one. Atkinson
Will present Collins petition tomor-
row. A committee will then be ap-
n0inf6d dafarnlina whether " 7n
the allegations are sufficiently based on
fact to warrant the impeachment of
the Judge.
1t is the prevailing opinion here that
Collins petition will meet it's death
before this committee and that officially
the Senate will never hear that it has
been filed.

ourselves to issue bonds for only those

WILL NOT TAKE
STATES MONEY
Remarkable Preceden
Established in Lower
House.
Members Deliberately
Give Up $25 Allowed
for Expenses.
Special pispatch to The CAL.

SACRAMENTO, June 5.--The Assem-
bly, this morning definitely decided to
sacrifice the SIS allowed each member
for contingent expenses, but not with
out open chagrin on the part of many
members who made fight to secure
the perquisite. Assemblyman Jones,
who claims that in the introduction of
the measure on the opening day of the
session he was bunkoed by the mis-
representations of several members, re-
fusing to vote on the proposition until
compelled to. do SO by the Assembly
compromise measure allowing each
member $40 contingent expenses was
proposed and defeated.
The matter was brought up today
through the motion of Assemblyman j.
H. Creighton to have the Jones propo-
sition to allow the contingent fund re-
moved from the table, where 1t had
been laid on the first day Of the ses-
sion The motion met with much op-
position, but was finally carried.
Creighton then moved that the Assem-
bly, pass the measure allowing the
money. This motion was amended by
Assemblyman F. A. Duryea, who pro-
posed that the s25 be cut to S10. The
amendment was voted down with a
rush and the question reverted to the
original motion. AS the roll was called
it was evident that many members
were refraining from voting TO avoid
being placed on record as favoring the
expenditure, while secretly wishing its
adoption.
The conclusion of the roll call
showed that the Assembly was about
evenly divided until the absentees'
votes were polled. These votes de-
feated the resolution. When it be-
came apparent that the measure was
defeated several of those voting aye
attempted to get from under by chang
ing their votes to the negative. The
final vote stood-29 ayes to 81 noes.
When the roll was called Jones re-
fused to vote. On the second calling
he asked to be excused from voting.
Several members were on their feet
instantly demanding that his vote be
recorded. Jones insisted on his excuse
and vote was taken on the question
of insisting on his vote. The members
almost unanimously demanded his vote
and he complied, voting in favor of the
allowance.
The tone and attitude of the mem
bers of the San Francisco delegation
when the majority voted against the
allowance was sufficiently lugubrious
TO provoke laughter. Before the emer-
gency session was a day old Assem-
blyman Stanton of Los Angeles went
to Ruef to ask him how he stood on
the allowance of contingent expenses.
Ruef expressed himself as against the
allowance and signified his Willingness
TO pay any member of the Assembly
the SIS if he needed the money

cation on the measure follows: Ayes

NATURALIZATION
MEASURE PASSES
Adopted in House I'm
der a Suspension of
the Rules.

WASHINGTON. June 5.-By clever
tactics, Bonynge of Colorado, in
charge of the naturalization bill, and
with the assistance of friendly
Speaker. had the measure establishing
a bureau of immigration and natural
ization throughout the United States
read in the time set apart for bills
under suspension of the rules in the
House today. The move surprised
Cochran of New, York, who began a
filibuster against its consideration.
He made a point of order against the
bill on the ground that 1t could not
be considered under suspension of the
rules. The Speaker overruled the
point, and on an appeal was sustained
155 to 81.
The bill was debated for forty min
utes and, amer two amendments had
ben agreed to unanimously, was passed.
An amendment was adopted providing
the requirements of section 9 shall not
apply TO aliens who shall hereafter
declare their intention. to become citi-
zens and who shall make homestead
claims on the public lands of the
United States and comply in all re-
spects with the laws providing for
homestead entries.
The bill provides for a bureau of
A4dl0i dl w WHICH
shall furnish all blanks for use and be
a record of all naturalizations. 1t re-
duires an applicant to file application
for naturalization ninety days before
il is acted upon by a court.
It prohibits any naturalization thirty
days before any general elections. 1t
authorizes the United States District
Attorney to appear and cross s-examine

place in charge of the State. When
Ruby declared that the Democrats
would nominate Bryan for. President in
1908 and elect him the convention wild
ly cheered.
Former Governor Francis was invited
Ito address the convention. He said in
part:
i wish to ask this convention to send
its congratulations to the National De-
mocracy on the disappearance of our
differences. There are no differences
between US now. In 1904, what is
known as the conservative element of
our party asked that ii be allowed to
make the platform and name the can
didate. Right literally did the radical
faction concede the honor to the conser-
vatfve element You know the result.
Now, another campaign is approach
ing Those of US who belong to what
has been the conservative faction would
not be magnanimous, we would not be
worthy Democrats, If we did not say
to you that we will support your can

changes made in conference cannot be
justified under the rules, but said that
they had been necessary in order to
