CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 24.-After the
Legislature has voted away $136, 600 for
attaches, the' ways and means commit
tee of the Assembly is now trying to
save money In order that public build
ings damaged or destroyed in the dis
aster of last April may be restored
to the State. At the meeting of the
committee tonight Assemblyman Hig-
gins of Santa Clara County inquired
of Attorney General Webb If the office
of attorney for the Board of Health
could be abolished by refusal to make
an appropriation. The official appealed
to replied that In such case the neg
lected official could recover his salary
from the general fund.
Inquiry was also made as to the
claim OF Frank Higgins, the Victoria
attorney who represented California in
the proceedings to extradite George d.
Collins, the bigamist Attorney Gen
eral Webb answered that II California
did not pay the claim the Federal
Government would, but the amount
would be a charge against the State.
Another line Of inquiry revealed that
the State Board Of Health paid 1857. so
for the printing of it's biennial report.
which contained 1S6 pages Attorney
General Webb mentioned Incidentally
that he had to pay the State Printing
Office more for briefs than he would
have to pay a private firm. Assem-
blyman Jury of San Mateo, who is him
self printer, remarked that he would
print the health boards report for half
the money.
DIR. Keene, the State veterinarian.
was called upon to answer many ques-
tions as to the cost OF his work. He
asked for an increase of $1400 over the
appropriation of two years ago, and ar
gued that his figures were modest.
Attorney General Webb asked the
committee to make favorable report on
a bill increasing several salaries in
his office. He wants his assistant
raised from $27o0 to $4,000. two OF his
deputies raised from $2400 to $4,000, and
one of his deputies promoted with an
increase of salary from $500 to $4,000.
Webb's own salary is only $4,000, but
1t is fixed by statute. He informed
the committee that If II could grant
him an increase he would not hesitate
to ask 1t.
No action will be taken by the COM
mittee on any of the increases asked
until it has gone through the whole
budget.

in the Senate today calling upon the
Interstate Commerce Commission to In
quire into the coIlusion between the

producing states In the Union and the pro
importance to to Il the 'p futSre DEVELOPMENT OF the
Pacinc Coast furnishing one Of it's necessities,
cheap fuel, and
Whereas, Its development in the last few
years has been retarded by the failure OF the
railroad companies TO furnish transportation
facilities necessary to handle oil products in
whereas, The general car shortage in this
line OF transportation Is more marked than In
cars In which to transport their oil to the
markets formerly supplied particularly Arizona
whereas The railroad companies on the
Pacific Coast are able to 50 manipulate their
car shortage and continue the same as to
drive a large proportion Of the consumers back
to the use OF COAL particularly the consumers in
Arizona and Nevada, by this means throwing
upon the local market thousands Of barrels OF
oil per day for the purpose Of prolonging the
period OF cheap fuel for railroad use, causing
millions OF dollars per annum loss to oil pro
ducers. and
whereas 1t is generally believed by oil
producers that the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company is interested In the production and
transportation OF oil to consumers and said
company has in the past extended special priVi-
Ieges to the marketing companies in which said
railroad company is interested, and
Whereas The transportation Of oil to Ari-
zona and Southern Nevada is interstate bust
ness. over which the State has no control, now
therefore be II
Resolved. by the Senate and Assembly Of the
State OF California jointly, That the Interstate
Commerce Commission be urgently requested to
investigate the general shortage in this
State and particularly in relation to the trans
portation Of oil and the general conditions OF
oil business so far as the same may be affected
By railroads engaged In the interstate trans

posed appropriation TO defray the ex-
penses OF Attorney Frank Higgins in
CURED in having Collins extradited
from Canada and criticising former
Governor Pardee for referring to him
in his recent message, was received by
the Senate today
Collins declares that the proposed
appropriation of $500 would be a vio-
lation of section 1858 of the Penal Code
and that in sanctioning the indebted
ness OF Higgins, Governor Pardee acted
in violation of his official duty. He
adds:
You can readily see that II such a thing
as that proposed passes into precedent there
win be no end Of iooting the treasury. That
official document such final message Of
retiring Governor should descend to the de-
grading and al least undignfeed method Of
making a personal and abusive attack on a
citizen of the State engaged in the defense Of
his rights, one who simply seeks, and TO a GER
tain extent forces in his own behalf the pro-
lection of the law against persecution and
TO be regretted by every person well disposed
toward the dignity and respectability OF the
State and possessing just and becoming rev
erence for those fundamental principles or the
law which are primarily intended for the pro-
lection and security Of individual rights as
against oppression and against persecution by
perversion OF powers and functions Of govern
ment TO crafty malice
OF course something is TO be conceded to
the fact that the author OF the message re-
ferred to is merely a physician and not a
lawyer and has strong contempt for what ne
does not understand. But that Is no reason
why Be should indulge in offensive personalities
In an official document.

Representative Hog Sales:
Below are given a few of the repre-
The Livestock Situation.


Time of year is at hand for decreased
marketing, especially in the cattle and
hog trades, and with expected falling off
in receipts there should necessarily be
a mending of prices. Lenten season will
be over in a few days and beef demand
should then broaden, but unless mar
keting follows in line with that of pre-
vious years at this season material
reaction in prices will hardly be in
order
In January last year. barring New
Years week, marketing of all classes of
stock averaged $500 carloads per week,
while the February weekly average was
$500. and in March marketing aver
aged $500 carloads per week. while the
April average was the smallest of the
year, being 4,SOO carloads weekly A
repetition of this falling off during the
coming month should bring about bet
ter conditions in trade. Urgency of
spring farm work must necessarily
check marketing zeal of cattle and hog
owners next month, and better prices
would seem to depend entirely upon
demand
Normally demand should be good, but
growth in consumptive call for meats is
quite spasmodic and often when trade
should be of broad proportions the de-
mand is poor and prices low Its an
uncertain quantity and rarely has been
more uncerta I'm than this season, and
better evidence of this could not be

FORCES STEVENS OUT
Resignation of Chief Engineer of the

Washington d. c.. March 27-In-
somnia was responsible for the resg-
nation of Chief Engineer John F. Ste
vens according to statements made to
the president yesterday by members of
congress returning from an inspection
trip to the isthmus.
These men gave the president to I'M
derstand further that Mr.. Stevens is
sorry that he relinquished the impor-
tant work of building the canal, and
that if he could Go so he would with
draw his resignation OF course, this
action is impossible, as Lieut.. Col. Goe-
1hals has been ordered to supersede
Mr.. Stevens on April L. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Stevens will come to Wash
ington and see the president. There is
no likelihood, however, that he will be
retained in the government service,
even as consulting engineer.
According to what Mrs. Stevens is
telling her friends, her husband does
not want further employment but in
tends to accompany her ITO Europe,
where they will remain for several
months.

Best Steers Advance Ten, With
Butcher Stuff Steady To
Strong
MORE LIFE IN HOG MARKET
Light Receipts and Good Demand
caused the Market to Advance Ten
to Fifteen Today-shecp and Lambs
Also Strong to Ton Higher, on Good
Demand.

Chicago, March 2S.--Cattle receipts
We're light, mostly cheap steers and
butcher grades. Fair demand from out
siders and packers aided the sellers in
maintaining prices, the best class OF
steers being about ten higher. Butcher
stuff was steady to strong.
Yesterdays advance for most ggod
steers should not @nthuse country
owners, as the upshoot was merely
by reason of meager marketing. Had
arrivals been a few thousand larger it
is very probable d dull and weaker
market trade would have been in
force Beef demands are too small to
afford ready sale for liberal runs and
country OWNERS should take cognizance
of this and ship accordingly.
Liberal marketing later this week
can only have the effect of cutting
down the appreciation scored in values
yesterday. Three days receipts total
40,100, among the smallest thus far
this year, comparing with 52,3TS week
ago. but trade conditions have thus far
proven supplies plenty large enough
TO suit SlaughtererS neeuS.
Hogs.
Light receipts and good demand put
more life in the market, and prices
advanced 10@15c. the majority of sales
being at $3.50 16.40.
The light run suggests that the
country has wearied of the long con-
tinued slump. Contraction of supply
is abrupt and receipts will probably
be light the rest of the week. This
will prevent packers from making good
their threat to buy droves at cents.
but further appreciation of 20 cents
the rest of the week will doubtless fetch
in big run on Monday.
Sheep.
Demand for the better class of sheep
and lambs was good, especially from
shippers Values were strong to Toe
higher

KICKS ON ROOTS SPEECH
Exponent of Sensational journalism
objects to Dose of His Own Medi-
oine-secretary of States Address
Evidently Hit in a Tender Spot =
General News.

Chicago, March 2s.--The delicate
sensibilities of William Randolph
Hearst, editor of an across continent
string of newspapers, not exactly noteo
for conservatism, were ruffled las
Tuesday by the Tribune.
On that day the Tribune, In calling
attention to Mr. Hearst's carpet bag
cling activities in the Chicago cam
paign printed extracts from the speech
of Secretary Root at Utica, when MI.
Hearst was running for governor OF
New York.
These extracts, which a. the time OF
their original publication, only pro-
duced a shower of mud upon the heao
of the secretary of state, aroused the
belated virtuous Indignation of the OBJ
ject of their excoriation.
And so yesterday Hearst sued the
Tribune for $2,5O0,O0o for libel-that's
all.
For instance, this reference by Sec
rotary Root to the assassination OF
President Mckinley hurt Hearst's feel
ings half a million dollars worth:
Listen to what President Roosevelt
himself has said of Mr.. Hearst and his
kind In President Roosevelt's first
message to congress, speaking of the
assassin of Mckinley, he spoke OF him
as infiamed by the reckless utterances
of those who, on stump, in public press
appeal to the dark, evil spirits of mall
ice, greed, envy and sullen hatred. The
wind is sown by men who preach sucn
doctrines, and they cannot escape their
share of the responsibility for the
whirlwind that is reaped This applies
alike TO the deliberate demagog, to the
expoiter of sensationalism, to the
crude foolish visionary who, for what
ever reason, apologies for crime, OF
excites aimless discomfort
II say, by the presidents authority,
in penning these words, with the hor-
ror of President Mckinley's murder
fresh before him, he had Mr.. Hears
specifically in his mind.
And / say, by his authority, tha
what he thought of Mr.. Hearst then ne
thinks of Mr.. Hearst now
And for the following ten lines
quoted from Secretary Root, Mr.. Hearst
wants The TRIBUNE to pay him $4,000
a line:
1T is not calm, lawful redress of
wrongs which he (HearsO seeks. 1t is
the turmoil of inflame6l passions and
the terrorism of revenseful force. He
spreads the spirit, he follows the meth
DDS, he is guided by the selfish motives
of a revolutionist. He would plunge
our peaceful land into turmoil, discord
and perpetual conflict out of which the
republics of South America hppily are
now passing"
This brief reference to character
must be extremely annoying, for it has
done 100000 of damag e-according to
Mr.. Hearsts estimate of his own char
acter:
THE public knows the character OF
Mr.. Hearst only by the newspapers he
publishes. God forbid we should set
UP in the high station of governor OF
New York, for the admiration and inn
itation of our children. man whose
character is reflected in the columns
of the New York Journal aud the New
York American"
There are several other counts on
which various sums are claimed.
