majority has agreed TO turn down; the

measure striking at the Standard Oil
monopoly introduced by Senator Z. o.
Miller Of Visalia, were the principal
topics discussed at the caucus
Agreement was reached to offer Wig
orous opposition to any attempt made
by the Republican majority to give
Democratic measures sepulcher in
pigeonholes. The Democrats intend to
combat this programme of the organ
ization by having bills refused dis
cussion in the Senate introduced in the
Assembly by Republicans. This has
already been done with Cartwright's
antitrust bill. and the Democratic Sem
ators believe they can attract atten-
tion to themselves and give the Re-
publicans a very interesting time of
it by their tactics of aggression.

GNESEN, Prussia, Jan. 16.-The
Chapter of the Cathedral met at the
ancient crowning place of Polish
Kings today and named six priests
whose names will be submitted to the
Prussian Government from which to
choose an Archbishop of Posen as sue
cessor to the late Monsigneur Sta
blewski. The election is of extraor-
binary political Importance because of
the power which the Archbishop may
exercise in quieting the agitation for
united Polish Republic.
Prussia complained that Monsigneur
Stablewski was disloyal to the Govern
ment in refusing to condemn the school
strike and as being opposed to enforc-
ing the Government decree in regard
to religious instructions being given in
the German language.
1t is understood that the Government
will approve no candidate whose po-
litical views are antagonistic to the
policy of Prussia.

SACRAMENTO. il u. 1s.-Grove john
son thinks the bilf he introduced by
request and thereby renewed the fight
over the change of venue on affidavit
of prejudice by party would better
die in committee forgotten, but not
alone, rather than take chance of it's
enacted provisions enabling Schmitz
and Ruef to remove the trial of the
case from Judge DUNES court. The
Sacramento legislator announced to-
day that his bill would be held in the
archives -of the Assembly judiciary
committee, of which he is the chair
man. He says he cannot disclose the
identity of the attorney who asked
him to introduce the bill because it
would put that attorney 'fn bad" with
the Judge whom he is trying to dodge.
He is as insistent in his defense of the
merits of the bill.
Johnson denies that the bill eman-
ated from the Schmitz- Ruef camp. He
thinks the bill would apply only to
court cases and not to jury trials but
admits that it might effect the Ruef-
Schmitz case and heAce had better lie
fallow for a legislative season.
Judge Fairall, who with Johnson de-
nies that he or any attorney connected
with the graft cases had anything to
do with the presentation of the bill
circumspectly admitted today that if
il were enacted speedily enough it
might effect the disposition of the pros
ecution of the boss and Mayor but
parenthetically added that he could not

bench was prejudiced against either
Schmitz or Ruef. With Just the proper
amount of professional fear for
clients welfare, Fairall secuted the de-
