SAN FRANCISCO, May ga move
ment is on foot to establish a society to
be known as the Audubon Society of
California. 1t has for It's main purpose
the protection of bird life.
Rufus p. Jennings, speaking of the
matter, said:
California is essentially an agricul-
tural state and there Is no better asset
for an agricultural state than an abun-
dant supply of native wild birds.
Science has come to the aid of the
farmer and demonstrated beyond sue
cessfu contradiction that bird life Is a
factor in his success to which due value
must be assigned.
Birds in California have neither been
essentially protected as they have been
in other states nor as their Importance
demands.
THE committee on organization will
meet at the chamber of commerce, Los
Angeles, May 81, to effect a permanent
organization and outline an active cam
paign for the protection of game birds >

TENNEssEEANs MAKE TRUCE
State Democrats Adjourn Till Morn-

tee for Harmony
BY Associated Press.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. May 29.-The
state Democratic convention which met
here today to nominate candidates for
governor and railroad commissioners
adjourned at $40 this evening until 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning without
effectlng temporary organization. 1t
was decidedly the most turbulent body
of the kind that ever assembled in
Tennessee. Free fights were numerous
and it was with the utmost difficulty
that any record of the proceedings
could be ordered.
Adjournment was taken after an un-
derstanding had been reached between
leaders of the opposing factions that
the three gubernatorial candidates,
Governor John I. Cox, Congressman
Malcolm r. Patterson and Judge John
u. Bond each name four representa-
tives who shall constitute q committee
to decide on a temporary chairman.
Before this agreement was effected
the battle over contested delegations
occupied the entire time of the con-
vention.
The services of the police were neces-
sary from the outset. Vice Chairman
w. K. Abernathy of the state COM
mittee called the convention to order at
noon. There was confusion from the
start and when the call of the roll
of counties for selection of temporary
chairman began the uproar steadily in
creased.
Chairman Alternately was often swept
aside by the contest and with many
speaking and shouting from various
parts of the hall none could be recog-
nized. At length a council of war be-
tween the leaders brought about a tenn
porary truce, and adjournment fol-

NAMES SATURDAY
FOR SESSION DATE
LEGISLATURE TO CONVENE ON
JUNE 2
Semisoffoial Announcement Also
States That Period Of Legal
Holidays Will Also End
This Week
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OAKLAND, May 29.-Unless some
thing unforeseen shall intervene Gov
ernor Pardee will call a special session
of the state legislature to convene
Saturday, June ., at Sacramento.
simultaneously the calling of legal hol-
idays will cease Saturday
The official proclamation is being
shaped and will be issued in time this
week for the assembling of the legisla-
ture on the date selected, provided
nothing shall occur to compel a post
ponement of the call. 1t is understood
that the call will follow almost iden-
tically along the lines of the San Fran
cisco committees report on legislation,
which was made public through the
press today.
Most important on the list of bills
which must receive early consideration
at the extra session is one providing
the extension of the statute of limita-
tions six months. General opinion
among Legislators who have been in
conference in Oakland of late is that
this measure will be taken up as soon
as the legislature is organized Satur-
day and rushed through.
Extension Amendment
With the cessation of legal holidays
as now proposed the legislature will be
able by Monday, or if necessary it can
sit Sunday and pass this important
measure, SO that on the first business
day, Monday, June A, since the fire, the
extension will be in force.
Ono of tho phiaf nurpoSeo in Oa1Iir o.
legal holidays was to prevent the out
lawing of matters in the disturbances
which arose from the fire. The COVER
nor has reached the decision, it is un-
derstood, that conditions are such that
the necessity of further legal holidays
to meet the situation has passed.
With extension of the statute of limi-
tations protection will be ample for
business and legal interests.
Half Years Time
Six months time will be gained to
straighten out affairs and there can
be a return to all normal business con-
dtions so far as legal aspect is con-
cerned. The Sunday following the call
of the Legislature is legal holiday,
hence the calling of holidays by the
governor can cease after Saturday.
With Monday the first business day
and the extension in force, opinion pre-
walls among those in conference on the
subject that the resumption of ordinary
conditions in the legal, commercial and
banking world will be facilitated
At the governors office in the city
hall today State Senators Leavitt and
Lukens of this city, Muenter of Stock
ton, Belshaw of Contra Costa, Mattos
of Alameda county, Assemblyman At
kinson of San Francisco and others
