Mr.. Reese of Escambia. introduced
a resolution in the house that commit
tee chairmen and the bill clerk should
not allow bills to get out of their pos
session, which was lost. Mr.. MacWil-
liams of St Johns, contended for full
publicity and declared that the resOlu-
tion was introduced because he per-
mitted a copy to be made of house
bill No. 425, by Mr.. Reese, relating
to the Insurance of stocks by rail-
roads, after Mr. Reese had refused 70
allow a copy to be made. Mr.. Reese
said the object of the resolution was
not to prevent the public from becom-
ing acquainted with the contents of
bills, but for the protection of the
documents. as court papers are pro-
tected. and said he understood several
bills had been sent to other parts of
the state. His resolution provided
that a bill might temporarily be with

SEVENTH WEEK OF
SESSION BEGINS

Tallahassee. May 13.-Last week
the senate of Florida wrestled with
one great state question. pensions,
and the house of representatives with
two, whiskey and negroes. The ques-
tions are difficult for the reason that
they open the doors wider to senti-
meut and prejudice than any others
which come before legislative bodies
IN this state, excepting corporations
Not that either house necessarily acts
with prejudice or from sentiment sole
" on these issues, but because they
do in fact present questions subordin-
ate to the ones mainly involved,
which have tendency to cause leg
islators as well as other ordinary peo-
pie to lose sight sometimes of the real
questions involved.
Coats Are Of.
To-day begins the seventh week of
the session of 1907 and both houses
have their coats of, metaphorically
speaking. But the results to date. it
must be admitted, have been general
" disappointing. OF the bills which
have passed both houses and received
the governors signature. a very large
proportion have been local in their ma
ture, and of The general laws, none
have been of such Importance as to
rock the state from center to circum-
ference
Probably the most important law so
far passed has been the bill intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Mathews of
Marion. chairman of the committee on
corporations, authorizing the railroad
commissioners to emplay special
counsel. Opposed to this was a bill
to provide for an assistant attorney
general. introduced in the house by
Mr.. Carter OF Alachua and in the sem

theory being that all the legal busi-
ness OF the state should be conducted

RAILROAD TO FIGHT

Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
LONG BEACH, March 13.-It is re-
ported here that, because the city coun-
Gil has not respected the wishes Of
the Salt Lake Railway company in
regard to the closing of Harbor avenue
at West Long Beach, the railroad has
promised San Pedro to assist that city
in the efforts to have the election
whereby Terminal Island and East San
Pedro were annexed to this city de-
clared illegal.
This would take this territory away
from Long Beach and cause it to re-
vert to San Pedro.
1t is common rumor that the people
of San Pedro are confident that they
will win out in the present fight. Long
Beach feels assured that the annexa-
tion will stand, however. The adoption
by the legislature of the freeholders'
charter, according to which the city's
boundaries include the territory to the
westward, is thought to give still ad-
ditional strength to the claims of Long
Beach.
Large crowds now at Coronado.

VENICE March 13.-A terrible ex-
plosion, followed by the violent ringing
of the town fire alarm caused a general
stampeding of sleepy-eyed citizens TO
Windward avenue shortly after mid
night last night, where the fire appara-
tus was quickly hauled out and started
toward the Kinney company's power
house, from where the disturbance
emanated. The plant was found to be
partly wrecked as the result of a plunge
condenser having burst and showered
it's fragments against the four walls of
the building. w. S. Rabineau, en-
gineer, who was in charge Of the plant
at the time, could offer no explanation
of the matter. No one was hurt and
the fire department found that it could
be of no service. The damage Is esti-
mated at about $500.

That is the way the board of edu-

still Jagged along in the same tenor it
had been pursuing when the board held
its last meeting. At the time de-
ficiency in the budget had been dis
covered that led to financial embar-

council in order to provide a way to
raise funds, on limited taxation, for

BIXBY BECOMES HEAD
OF BIG CORPORATION
Special to The Herald.


LONG BEACH, March 1S.-George
II. Bixby, formerly treasurer of the
Los Angeles Dock and Terminal COM
pany, has been elected president of that
corporation, succeeding Dana BurkS,
mayor of Ocean Park.
Mr. BiXby is a resident of Long
Beach and this fact was largely re-
sponsible for his selection to this Of
flee, as the business of the Dock and
Terminal company is rapidly increasing
in volume and requires the presence of
the president upon the ground" G.
j. Curtis, first vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Dock and Ter
minal company, will continue to direct
the harbor making operations from the
office here. Within a few weeks the
incorporation papers will be changed
so that the general offices of the COM
pany will be established in this city.
Practically all of the work of the COM
pany is transacted in the local office
in the Bixby building, but, because the
Incorporation papers designate the Los
Angeles office as the general office"
the directors meetings are held there.
Local folk are urging that the name
of the company be changed to the Long
Beach Dock and Terminal company.
The new suction dredger built in San
Francisco for the Dock and Terminal
company arrived here this morning
The dredger is twice as large as the
one which was destroyed by fire in the
Long Beach harbor a few months ago.
1t has a capacity of 10000 cubic yards a
month. Tomorrow the dredgerYill prob
ably be towed through the Wilmington
lagoon and Cerritos slough to the site
of the Craig Shipbuilding company.
Last night the city trustees formally
ordered the Strengthening of Cerritos
slough from the San Gabriel river to
where 1t flows into the channel of the
Dock and Terminal company. The old
channels We're abandoned and the new
ones being dredged now We're accepted.
This action was taken to prevent any
future complications.
Another ordinance was also adopted
which provides for the widening of
Cerritos slough between the old San
Gabriel river and wilmington bay, to
permit of the completion of the work
by the Terminal company.
Hotel del Coronado greatly improved.
