FROM CALIFORNIA
HAS CONFLICTING ASPECTS

I to succeed Perkins, but the latter
captured the caucus vote and sub
sequently the unanimous vote of
the republican members in both
houses.
| In point of service Senator Per-
kins now ranks eighth in the SEN
ate. He has the distinction of be-
| ing the only sailor in that august
body, so he has always been pro
minent in the committee on naval
affairs.
Civil service has been his hobby.
That wouldn't hurt trust interests.
! Senator Perkins has the dis tinction
of being for years an open advocate
of the election of the senators by
direct vote of the people.
He has never drawn for his per-
sonal use one cent of the pay al
lowed him by the government. His
salary is always checked off to
various charities. The senator's
philanthropies have been many.
There are two sides to Perkins
character. One is good, human,
wholesome and pleasant. California
knows that side best, and estimates
the man upon it.
Washington sees the other side,
tainted as it is by the hand of cor
porate greed. Senator Perkins is
the servant of money powers which
are antagonistic to the welfare Of
the republic, and however good he
may be at home he is not the repre-
sentative in the senate of the ma
jority.
HIS ARE PACIFIC INTERESTS.
Senator Perkins has served well
and discreetly financial interests
which have needed his aid. He is
interested heavily in shipping com
panes and looks after their welfare
in the senate. He has served many
years on the committee on naval
affairs and is considered an expert
in naval matters. He gave particu-
lar attention to the building up of
the Mare Island navy yard, Incl
dentally benefting the warship
builders.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
AS a member of that all powerful
organization known as the steer
ing" committee of the senate, which
governs legislation as surely as the
moon rules the tides, Geo c. Per
kins, who is supposed to represent
California In the upper branch OF
congress, is an interesting person
age.
The state of California Is owned
by the railroads, and therefore Per
kins and his associate, Flint, went
in the bill of sale. The real sena-
tor from California is w. F. Her
rim, general counsel for the South

Frank P. Flint, Perkins present
colleague, to succeed Tom Bard,

ian elected on a fluke) would not
bend his neck to the Southern Pa
cific yoke. Flint had been attorney
general at Los Angeles for the
Southern Pacific and was told to
resign from that position and be-
come a candidate for the senate
He did A young man from Wash
ington received the offer of the po-
sition of private secretary to Flint,
written on Southern Pacific station
cry and from the Southern Pacific
Offices.
Neither Perkins nor Flint could
live minute politically with the
railroad support withdrawn.
Perkins IS an astute man, hum
Bile and democratic in his ingoings
and outgoings, self educated and
well educated.
In California he is rated as a mil
lionaire, is interested in banks,
mines, shipping, real estate and ag-
riculture, all on a large scale. He
is democratic and in San Francisco
made "hit" with the people when
he cultivated the association in
public Of men in overalls.
Perkins had few educational ad-
vantages on the farm in Kenne-
bunk, Me-, where he was born, in
1899, or on the wind tanners"
before the mast, of which he used
to sail the seas. Perkins was still
a sailor when he landed in San
Francisco in 1866. He settled down
in Oroville, Butte county, where he
soon accumulated enough money to
open a small merchandise business.
He made money fast and seeing the
power in politics ran for the state
senate and won by a sweeping ma.
jority, though from a democratic
district. He served two terms and
laid his political foundation.

kins associated himself with Ed.

years ago the steamship business
was sold to the voracious Hill in

In 1879 Perkins was elected gov

a hotly contested, three cornered
fight. He declined to be a candi-

NEW YORK, Feb. Mime. ALA
Nasimoff is a remarkable Russian
actress who came up from the low
err Eastside on several occasions to
play at a Broadway theater under
the patronage of the most fashion
able women of the city. She is not

art, but is fine linguist, translat-

and Paul Orleneff have produced
in this country. She has prepared
many of the costumes the members
of the company wear.
Since the Russian players were
expelled from st. Petersburg last
spring for giving interdicted plays,
they have had trying times. Often
