CALL HEADQUARTERS.
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 3.-What vir-
tually amounts to a programme re-
specting the duration of the session
of the Legislature has been agreed to
by the leaders OF the Republican ma
jority in the Senate and Assembly.
Members of both houses admitted
this evening that an effort to redeem
the Legislature would be made, and
that actual economy was TO be striven
for. To counterpoise the drain on the
treasury made by junkets and the le-
gion OF useless attaches. the lawmakers
will try to clean up all their business
within sixty days. When they arrived
here the general impression among
them was that seventy or seventy-five
days would be required for all the
legislation needed. and the attaches be-
gan to compliment themselves on from
ten to fifteen extra days of employment
at munifcent salaries.
1t looks now as il they may really
have their names erased from the pay
roll at the end of sixty days. As their
salaries in both houses approximate
$4,000 day, the State will save $50, 900
if the session does not extend to
seventy-five days.
Governor Gillett is credited with be-
ing partly responsible for the effort TO
limit the session to sixty days. There
are also well-defined reports that Her
rim has been trying to do something In
the same direction, and that both Jere
Burke and Walter Parker are saying
emphatic things here about the neces-
sity of the Legislature to police itself
and show that it can do other things
besides picking the States pockets.

Legislative Bill Aimed to

CALL HEADQUARTERS.
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 3.-Senator Me-
Cartney's bill to keep the polls open
from a. m to D. m. on election days
is being given the united support OF
labor organizations throughout the
State. Under the present labor law
polling places close at o'clock. and
1t is argued that this deprives a con-
siderable number of working men Of
their franchises.
Labor leaders say that the setting
aside of an undesi gnated period of two
hours, which by law the worker may
now claim as voting time. has not
proved satisfactory Many workingmen
are compelled to travel long distances
to their work. and in numerous In
stances are obliged to leave the vicinity
of their residences before the opening
OF the polling places. Such men have
found it practically impossible to make
the trip to the polls and get back TO
work within the time which the law
now permits them to take from the
working hours.
1t was the desire OF the labor or
ganizations that the polls be kept open
until Z p. M, but they are satisfied
with the Mccartney bill with it's extra
hour. because IL will permit workers to
take the allotted two hours Just that
long before the regular quitting time.
and thus give all sufficient time to 80
TO their home precincts and vote. The
bill is also favored by many profess
sional men, who figure that IL will en-
able them to cast their ballots after
office and business hours.

a tremendous popular outcry at hav-
ing such distinction made in treaty.
1t is doubtful whether any Senator
would dare vote for the ratification of
such convention and then appeal 20
his people for reelection. The complete
exclusion of all Americans would be
accepted with but little less resentment.

week to the visitors from San Fran
cisco, who are now en- route to this city
for a conference, that a satisfactory
treaty can be negotiated within thirty
days If the principle of reciprocal ex-
clusion is the basis of the proposed
treaty it will never be approved by the
Senate. If it is abandoned there is no
other concession which can be offered
in exchange for the exclusion of jap
anese laborers-
The President is said to have been
given some encouragement that a
treaty along the lines indicated might
be approved by the Senate, but there
are many Senators who unhesitatingly
declare that this is absolutely inpos-
sible. . The same degree of impossibility
applies to the exclusion of American
workingmen by an imperial edict if
that method is chosen to prevent the
coming of coolies to this country. The
one plan would be as disastrous as the
other.

FARMERS AGAINST
HALF HOLIDAY
Opposing the Finney Bill
Providing Saturday Half
Holiday in County Offices
IT rs INVOLVEMENT
CALL HEADQUARTERS.
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 8. = Farmers
throughout the State are opposing the
dwellers of cities in agitating the
passage of bill introduced BY As
semblyman Finney of Downieville to
abolish the Sunday half holiday m
country Offices.
AS the bill now stands. it forms a
bone of contention between the agra
rian and urban interests of California.
Saturday is generally observed by
the farmers as the day when they hitch
up their>teams and drive into town to
transact the weeks end business.
When they arrive they invariably find
all public offices closed. and to pay
their taxes look at assessment rolls or
consult their official records they are
required to return on some other day.
The farmers want all this changed.
They argue that public officials are
well paid and there is no reason why
they should not be behind their desks
Saturday afternoon and save them an
extra drive to town.
1t is doubtful, however, If the bill
will pass. Ofice-holders as a class are
opposed to 1t, arguing that the senti-
ment of all cities is favorable to the
extension rather than the curtail-
ment of the Saturday half-holiday.
G.. B. Benham. who is here repre-
Senting the San francisco Bulld1n g
Trades Council, admits that organized
labor is opposed to the bill.
A measure directly opposite in intent
has been introduced in the House by
Assemblyman Wyatt of Salinas. 1t
provides for the cessation of labor in
public offices with the noon whistle on
Saturday, but allows for the transac-
ton of legal business or other work
which might result In injury or loss

Japanese Army Veterans :.
-Are Drilling at Honolulu

HONOLULU, Feb 3. - Sixty-fiv
thousand Japanese are now in the Ha-
waiian Islands, according to a careful
estimate OF these. 10000 are adult
males, and of this number, $4,000 are
men trained in arms. Six thousand
of them are veterans of the war with
Russia.
The immigration has been increasing
gradually until since the beginning of
1907 about $500 have arrived for every
500 that depart.
Twenty-one hundred arrived at the
islands during the first two weeks of
January. Most of these were army vet
Grams, who did not go to work on the
plantations. but crowded the hotels
here. They came ostensibIy as labor
ers but customs officers discovered
they were veterans by finding medals
and discharge papers in their baggage,
OF the veterans who have left Honolulu
within the last two months a majority
have gone to plantations on this island.
Most of these veterans are in posses
sion of arms. The quantity and the
source of supply of these arms are not
known positively 1t is rumored that
steam sampan received a consignment
of rifles, revolvers and ammunition
from the Japanese training ship Aneg-
waga, which was here few months
ago and landed them on this island

gist for the prodigal Republican ma
jority, made an address last week on
the floor of the Senate In which he de-
clared that economy and efficiency were

His constitutional amendment is de-
clared to have been inspired by persons
who have the say-so of the majority

age grab
The amendment differs from the one
introduced at the last session in one
notable particular. IT makes no effort
to increase the pay of members of the
Legislature and has all the earmarkss of
a frank measure abolishing freebooting &

NEEDED FOR NAVY
Rear Admiral Evans Urges
Government to Pre-empt
Fields in Pennsylvania
GIVES HIS REASONS

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK Feb. 3.-Rear Admiral
Evans, commanding the Atlantic feet.
would have the national Government
pre-empt all of the anthracite coal that
is left, and In the current North Amerf-
can Review gives reasons which are
startling. The admiral asserts that NO
other maritime nation possesses a naval
weapon of such tremendous power as
does America in the anthracite fields of
Pennsylvania, and urges that the fields
"be instantly appropriated by the ma
tfonal Government and reserved for its
own uses.''
While the supply of bituminous coal
is practically inexhaustible, that of an
thracite, the smokeless product which is
obtained only from American mines, is
so limited that the next forty or fifty
years will see the exhaustion of the sup
ply-that is, if the present rate of con-
sumption is maintained.
Recounting costly experiments which
the Navy Department had made in an
effort to determine the comparative
value of liquid fuel and COAL the results
being disappointing to the advocates of
liquid fuel. the admiral says anthracite
alone is capable of developing great
power without producing smoke. And
paramount consideration in naval
warfare, he contends, is invisibility.
-Strategically,'' Admiral Evans says,
this is one of the greatest factors,
either for offense or defense. The abil-
ity to creep upon an enemy's ship with
out detection is an enormous advantage
in the attack, and it goes without say
ing that the possibility of accomplish
ing safe retreat before superior ma
val force, or of slipping undiscovered
through IAN enemys line of battle, is
not to be disregarded.''
Continuing, the admiral says his own
experience on the flagship Maine has
revealed another and a graver objee-
tion to the use of bituminous coal in
naval warfare, and that is the eonfu-
sion of signals caused by smoke

talk about the Japanese war situation
must cease. Admiral Dewey today gave
some excellent advice to his younger
brethren. He has been quoted as hav-
ing delivered some radical sentiments.
When his attention was called to this
report he caused the following state
ment to be given out:
"It is not a time when naval officials
should be talking about the prospective
war with Japan. Our whole nation
wants peace and the navy wants tit
just as much as the rest of the coun-
try.
With these significant words Admiral
Dewey this evening disposed of a
rumor, which had been persistent in
newspaper circles during the day, link
ing his name with some startling pre-
dictions of what would occur should
Japan declare war
The administration, although directly
responsible for the war talk of the last
FIVE days. since it is all based on what
the President recently said to the Cali
fornia delegation, has grown anxious
over the possible further irritation of
the Japanese by persistent theorizing
as to how the United States would de-
feat Japan. Having started these fires
the administration now desires to
quench them.

Members of the Japanese
Colony in Mass Meeting

A large portion of the local Japanese
colony congregated at the Geary Hail.
on Geary street, near Laguna, last
night, and held a session until a late
hour. The leaders of the movement
declared that the meeting was under
the auspices of the Japanese Merchants
Association and that the purpose was
to induce the merchants of the Oriental
section to centralize geographically,
with Geary street as nucleus. The
programme for the evening was made
up of speeches and a sort of vaudeville
sketch.
That any mention was made of the
Impending crisis between this nation
and Japan, or that the Japanese school
question was touched upon was en-
phatically denied by those in authority.
