Exciting Meeting of the

Association
Intlmated That impeachment Pro-

Before Legislature-Ach
Defends Hebbard
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-An ex-
citing meeting of the San Francisco
Bar association was held tonight.
About $50 prominent attorneys gath
cred to consider the action of Superior
Judge Hebbard in granting a writ of
error to Abraham Ruef while the lat
ter's trial was pending in a court of CO.
ordinate jurisdiction.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
made a sensational speech, declaring
that Judge Hebbard was under the in
fiuence of liquor when he granted the
writ and had been constantly affected
by intoxicants for the past three years.
Heney vehemently declared that the
action of the attorneys for Ruef had
been more reprehensible than the con-
duct of Judge Hebbard.
Heney said that Ruef's attorneys had
deliberately taken advantage of Judge
Hebbard's condition to secure the writ
in order to Illustrate the progress OF
| justice in Judge Dunne's court.
| Attorney Dwyer followed in a fiery
speech along similar line. Attorney
| Henry Ach, one of Ruef's attorneys
denied that Judge Hebbard was in
toxicated when he made the order fol
| the issuance of the writ.
/ Ach then made motion that tht
| grievance committee of the Bar asso
citation investigate the action OF Judge
Dunno in insisting upon proceeding with
the trial of Ruef after writ of error
had been issued by another court.
This motion, by vote, was laid on the
table.
The meeting decided that in view Of
the nearness of the adjournment of the
| legislature impeachment proceedings
against Judge Hebbard would be futile.
1t was voted to have the grievance
committee thoroughly Investigate the
affair and report to the association.

Michigan Legislator Tries In Vain to

Bill Passed During His

LANSING, Mich, March S.--Repre-
sentative Galbraith of Calumet, who
was absent yesterday when the house
passed the senate bill designed to
prevent the requirement by the Calu-
met and Hecla Mining company of the
Osceola, Allouez and Centennial cop

from the governor.
His motion was tabled in a fearful
denunciation of the bill, Galbraith as
serting it was a plan of Standard Oil
interests who are opposed to the CAL
umet and Hecla company, to block the
latter company.
He said that the Osceola stockholders
had chosen by an avalanche Of proxies
to go under the Calumet and Hecla
management instead of the Standard
Oil company and declared that If the
bill was not recalled 1t would be re-
ported in New York that Standard Oil
had "gobbed up the Michigan legisla-
ture."

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SACRAMENTO, March S.-"We re-
gret, o God, that so many are here
only to draw pay, draw corks and draw
poker" This was the startling salu-
tation which the assembly received this
morning from Evangelist Schiverea,
who had been invited by Rev. Willis,
the regular chaplain, to offer the morn
ing prayer in the lower house of the
legislature.
Having gained the undivided atten-
tion of the members, which they do not
always give the regular chaplain, Evan
gelist Schiverea continued through a
long and impressive invocation to tell
of some of the sins of commission of
the legislators.
I'VE regret that the Sunday law was
defeated: we regret that the anti
prize fight, the anti-race track and
other high moral measures which would
have given the youth of this state a
better chance to make their mark,
failed to pass this legislature"
The first few words of the evangelist
caused an impressive silence in the as
sembly chamber, which was followed
by an excited buzz of conversation
when the minister concluded.
1t required repeated rapping by the
speaker to bring the house to order.

WASHINGTON. March s, midnight.
Archie Roosevelt is resting we'll to-
night and his attending physicians are
hopeful of his recovery. DR.. Alexander
Lambert, who was summoned from
New York to take charge of the case,
has informed the president that while
the patients condition is encouraging
he is not yet out of danger. Mr.. Roose-
welt was with his son for more than an
hour tonight The president made
every precaution against Infection
A consultation was held at the White
House tonight. 1t was attended by DR..
Lambert, Surgeon General Rixey and
Assistant Surgeons Kirby, Braisted and
Pryor of the navy. At 10:30 DR.. Lam
bert gave out this bulletin:
"1'he patient is resting comfortably.
No complication has developed since
yesterday and his condition is as good
as could be expected at this stage of
the disease
An earlier bulletin issued by Secre-
tary Loeb also was of a reaSSuring ma
ture.
1t was stated at the White House
that DIR. Lambert will not leave Wash
ington until he is satisfied that Archie
is out of danger. He has pointed out
to the president that diphtheria is a
treacherous disease and that Archie
may at any time suffer relapse
Although the president was awake
most of last night he looked none the
worse for his vigil and tonight ex-
pressed a willingness to remain with
DR.. Kennedy, who will spend the night
at Archie's bedside. Drs. Lambert and
Rixey, however, urged the president to
retire at his usual hour. Mrs. Roose-
welt, who has remained almost con-
of his illness, also retired early after
being assured by DR.. Lambert that he
did not anticipate another change.

DEATH BLOW STRUCK
AT SECRET SOCIETIES
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Rv Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, March S.-A death
blow was struck at fraternities, soror-
tiles and other secret societies in pub
lie schools, when after an hours de-
bate and a wordy duel between Sena-
tors Wolfe and Belshaw the senate this
afternoon, by vote of 2S to 8, passed
Assemblyman Sacketts anti-fraternity
bill.
Wolfe, Caminetti and Anderson sup
ported the bill while Belshaw, Wright
and Willis made a strong fight against
it's passage. The bill now goes to the
governor.
Senator Wolfe declared that the
fraternities and sororities bred big
otry, prejudice and snobbishness and
were a great danger to the walfare OF
the schools.
Belshaw argued that the bill was un-
CONSTITUTIONAL; interfered with the
the fraternities and societies did not
hold their meetings in the public
schools, hence the law could not reach
them, and thought it was about time
that the Legislature stopped passing
regulating laws.
Wright opposed it on the ground
that the legislature had no power to
tell pupils what they could and what
they could not do outside of the schools
The bill prohibits, under penalty Of
expulsion, the attendance of any pupil
at any meeting of fraternity, sorority
or other secret society, forbids the or
ganization of such societies by pupils
and places social, litery and athletic
functions under the control of the
boards of education and board of trus-
tees.
Drastic Bill Passed

bill by Senator Mccartney which is de-
signed to prevent the overdrawing of
accounts at banks by depositors and
the uttering of fictitious and worthless

who willfully and with intent to de-
fraud utters or delivers check or
draft on a bank knowing at the time
credit in the bank to meet such check
or draft, shall be punishable by i'm
prisonment of from one to fourteen
years.
This bill has been sent to the cover
nor. The assembly also finally passed
Hartman's measure requiring that
threads and spool goods must be labeled
as to yardage and weight. and Wolfe's
bill authorizing the transfer of $3.50. 900

PARIS THROWN
INTO DARKNESS
ELECTRICIANS STRIKE AND
LIGHTS GO OUT
Many Newspaper Plants Left Helpless
and Theaters and Stores Are
Compelled to Close
Doors
BY Associated Press.

| By Associated Press.
PARIS, March ga sudden strike on
the part of practically all the cleo
tricians of Paris at o'clock this after
noon resulted in complete paralysis of
the business Of the city by the time
night had fallen.
The Inconvenience was very great.
A number of theaters had to forego
their performances, several of the even
ing newspapers were unable to get out
their editions and the great department
stores were hurriedly emptied. The
strikers demand the fulfillment of the
promises to improve their condition,
which they claim were made to them
last January.
Many of the large department stores
of Paris, especially those in the center
of the city, rely entirely upon electric
ity for lighting and heating. These
stores are not piped with gas and
when the electric lights went out but
few oil lamps were on hand.
AS result candles had to be in
stalled hurriedly in order to help the
shoppers and the employees to leave the
buildings. The procedures of police
and the buildings of the different min
istries were also without light, and
even the ElySee palace was tempor-
arily thrown into darkness.
The senate and the chamber of depu-
ties are provided with gas pipes and
were therefore able to get light and go
on with their business.
Many Theaters Close
Almost all the theaters, including the
Opera and others of the subsidized
houses, were compelled to put up an
nouncements that there would be no
performances and that the money
would be refunded at the doors.
The boulevards were practically in
darkness except for the glimmering of
few gas jets. Only the Avenue
d'Opera and few sections of the
Champs Elysees were illuminated by
electricity, the men working in the
plants supplying these districts returnS
ing to work early in the evening. The
many cafes and restaurants presented
weird pictures, with flaring candles on
all the small round tables.
1t was impossible to get out the later
editions of the afternoon newspapers
and the offices of the morning papers
were scenes of confusion.
Only the Parisienne will appear in it's
full size tomorrow this being because
1t possesses it's own electric plant. The
reasons for the strike of the electricians
are as follows:
The company that supplies electricity
was recently accorded concessions by
the municipal council, and 1t now re-
fuses to carry out certain ordinances
passed by that body under which the
