sS,1AACI.hAMENTo, Feb. 2s.-Governor
NeN signed today the bill which
- ICES that the Board Of FIarbor Com
l.issioners may lease parts of the San
rIahclsco water front for the advance
-ient or aquatic sports. The bin was
~, ~, oouced In the interest of rowing
clOos and prohibits the board from
making any grants OUT of which pecn-
mary gain is sought.
ne san Francisco delegations in
poOn houses OF the Legislature are ex-
pressing satisfaction over the prompt
ness attending the passage of the
measures facilitating improvements to
tsle water front but are beginning to
AaEe grave doubts OF the success Of the
D4Ll introduced by Senator Eddie Wolfe
1or & SS,OoOOO0 appropriation for the
Balboa exposition. Governor Gillett
IS not IN favor Of the bill and will un-
coubteoly veto it If It passes the Legis-
Iature IN Its present form
Wolfe IS confident that the Cover
nor's attitude on the matter can be
changeo, however, and intends TO have
another delegation of the allied mer-
camille interests in San Francisco visit
the capital and demonstrate what a
practical benefit TO California such an
exposition would be.
The Senate was in session for barely
la-f an hour this morning, the trip

a few minutes after Il o'clock The
only thing accomplished was the ap-
poiRtment by Lieutenant Governor
Porter Of Senators Boynton, Lynch,
Bates, Mccartney and Miller as a com
mittee to Investigate the alleged man
nipOlation Of the product Of the San
Quentin 5ute mill whereby corners on
the conVict-made bags are said TO be
oplalneo by favored operators.

TRICK IS PLAYED TO
OBTAIN APPROPRIATION
House Fooled Into Setting
Aside $4,000 for Angel
Island Prison
MEASURE WILL PASS
Senate Is Expected to Act
Favorably on Work at
This Port

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-The War
Department and Chairman Tawney of
the committee on appropriations played
a trick on the House and secured an
appropriation of $4,000 for beginning
the new military prison on Angel ISL
and. An amendment making a direct
appropriation for new work would have
been subject to a point of order. Taw-
ney evaded this by making his amend
ment read, for reconstruction of the
military prison in San Francisco Bay"
The amendment seemed thereby to
apply to work already in hand, and
it was adopted without discussion. The
amount authorized by the amendment
for Reconstruction" is s250,000, of
which $4,000 is appropriated. It is
now planned that the Senate shall
amend the provision by naming Angel
Island, and the House conferees head
ed by Tawney will agree to the change.
The House is not likely to take notice
Of the matter in the confusion pre-
ceding adjournment.

PETALUMA, Feb. 23.-The State
legislature received a slap today when
the Patrons Of HUsbandry, Petaluma
Grange. Endorsed the resolutions passed
by. the Bennett Valley and Glen Ellen
Grange in condemning the lawmakers
for allowing graft in the State Treas
ury by the employment OF a horde
of useless attaches. The Sonoma County

IMPROVE FORTS HERE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The War
Department has authorized the con-
struction of a water supply at Fort
Baker and a water and sewer system
a Fort Barry. The water supply plant
at Fort Barry includes the installation
of pumps, electrically operated, a new
departure at army posts. Both the
posts are in California.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
$3.50, 900 for orphans and alf-orphans,
S757,210 for the various State educa-
tional institutions, including the uni
versity at Berkeley; 100000 for the
National Guard, s663.000 for the sal
aries of judges, and S209,50O for the
salary roll and contingent expenses of
the present Legislature.
Chairman Estudillo and his col
leagues on the ways and means COM
mittee did not spare the ak. Reason
able demands, such as an increase of
121a per cent in the salaries of the
underpaid employees Of the State hos
pitals, were granted, but otherwise
there was chopping and looping all
the way down the line. The Secretary
of States office was cut $4,000, the
State Printers estimate shrank $4,000
against his protest, the appropriation
for target practice for the State mill
tia fell from s35, 900 to $4,000, armory
rents were cut $4,000, and other esti-
mates were cut in like proportion. Many
of the items allowed would have been
chopped to a shadow but for special
statutes which made the committee
helpless.
The bill has been made a special
order for Monday morning, and trou-
bic is expected. Even after it passes
the lower house the din of protest
will not cease. Senator Belshaw will
be waiting upstairs with a club. He
wanted $4,000 more for San Quentin
than the committee allowed. Courteous
but firm refusal to oblige met his ap-
peal, and it is now predicted that he
will offer an amendment providing for
an increase This will cause some de-
lay, but it is believed that the meas
ure will be in the hands of the Gov
ernor by the end of the coming week

DANVILLE HOSPITAL CONDITION

The legislative committee visited
the Danville Hospital for the In.
sane on Tuesday. and made a
thorough investigation. They
found the buildings inadequate, as
there are 1906 patients there. whil
the capacity is only $50 Many of
the patients are obliged to sleep in
the corridors on cots.
The chairman explained that it
had come to the ear of the commis.
sion that large numbers of patients
are committed to the hospitals of
State as INDECENT insane when they
have estates or relatives who are re-
sponsible for their keeping. 1t was
the intent of the law, he said, that
no person is to be committed in this
way except actual paupers. As the
result of the loose and illegal way
in which insane are committed to
the hospitals TIE State is annually
defrauded ont of large sums of mon
ey. In as much as the commission
is determined to get at the bottom
of the matter the request is made
that persons throughout the State
come forward or communicate with
the chairman who know Of patients
committed as INDECENT who have
estates or relatives responsible for
their support.
The buildings at Danville were
pronounced to be antiquated and
the chairman said he would favor
tearing them down, and The erect
ion of modern hospital.

Greasy Sees Fun Ahead.
Old Gang Crowd Now Obliged 10 GO
Along" on Reform.

Before leaving for Harrisburg to
attend the opening Of the Legisla-
ture Mr.. Greasy confessed that he
looked forward to the coming ses-
sion with no little pleasure, inas-
much as he would have the salts
faction OF wat hing the Republicans
act favorably on the very reform
measures for which he has battled
for the last ID years, and for which
he was scorned, ridiculed and laugh
ed at.
"In this Legislature" said Mr..
Greasy, Il will stand where / have
always stood: for the right OF troll
leys to carry freight: for two.cent
fare on all railroads within the State,
and for the enforcement of the sew
enteenth article OF the Constitution.
l also think the present primary
election law should be amended,
for it does not yet exactly fit the
conditions in this State. The peo-
pie will soon realize it binds the
party shackles tighter than ever.
II shall introduce two bills into
the Legislature with The idea Of the
counties getting more of the tax
than they do now. One bill will
be to have the fourth Of the person
al tax which the State gets kept by
the county, and the other will be tc
have the part of the wholesale, re-
tail and distillers' license and mer-
camille tax which the State now
gets, returned to the county. TO
Columbia county alone it would
mean that the county would have
the use of about $4,000 more
money"

Spanish American War Veterans and Ladies'
Auxillaries Hard al Work.

Yards of petitions praying for
the restoration of the canteen will
be dumped onto Congress next
week, bearing the signatures of
nearly every member of the Span
ish- American war veterans. Capt.
Walter Michtell, secretary of that
organization, will push the matter
vigorously. The petitions declare
that there is more drunkenness now
and the men are driven to low re-
sorts where they get vile whiskey
instead of the milder beverage un-
der careful regulations. Most OF
the women's auxiliaries Of Spanish
veterans joined in the fight, oppos-
ing the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union. A large number Of
Congressman will support the
measure.

CHURCH CHARTERS.

Charters granted to churcheyand
religious societies since the passage
of the Act of Assembly Of April s6,
1855, must be amended before
April IA. 1907, in accordance with
the Act OF Assembly of April ID,
1905, by the addition of the follow
ing clause
" All property, real or personal,
belonging to such corporation or
which hereafter shall be bequeath-
ed, devised or conveyed to it shall
not be otherwise taken, held or to
enure, than subject to the control
and disposition of the lay members
of such church, congregation, or
religious society, or such consti-
tuted officers or representatives
thereof, as shall be composed of the
ajority of the lay members, citi
zens o Pennsylvania, having a con-
trolling power, according to the
rules, usages or corporation re-
quirements thereof, so far as con-
sistent Herewith" "
Some of orr contemporaries are in
error in stating that this law APP
plies to the charter of every
church or religious society in the
commonwealth" ." 1t does not apply
to those granted prior to the pass
age Of the Act of April 90, 1855.
The title of the Act is can Act
relating to church charters which
have been granted without incor-
porating the provisions of section
seven of act of twenty sixth April,
1855, validating the same tor the
period oftwo years, and authorizing
amendments to said charters con-
tanning the provisions of said sec
ton seven of Act of twenty sixth
April, 1856"
1t clearly refers only to charters
granted since that time, as those
granted prior to that date could not
possibly incorporate the provisions
of an act passed subsequently.
Even if it did refer to charters
granted prior to that date, it could
not affect them, as it would be an
er pest tacf0 law, and therefore un-
constitutional.

STUART AND THE CAPITOL.

The Governor-elect, in his cam
paign last autumn, repeated time
and again his purpose to have full
and searching investigation made OF
any and every charge that might
be laid before him concerning the
expenditures on the State Capitol.
As he is a man who is in the habit
of weighing his words pretty care
fully and of making no promise
which he is not ready to fulfill, it
is hardly necessary to receive his
further assurance that he will order
or facilitate an investigation as soon
as he takes hold of the Gubernato,
rial Office.
Fortunately he is in such a posi-
ton as to be free of such obligations
of a personal character or of such
relations to the construction of the
Capitol as would obscure his judg-
ment or weaken his purpose; and
he may be expected to address him
self to the task impartially and
with an honest desire to get at the
truth and the whole truth as to the
contracts and expenditures.
Long before the end of the winter
the people of Pennsylvania ought to
know exactly how their $I3, ,ooo, :
900 was spent in the extraordinari-
ly easy going manner of financing
the construction Of the Capitol.
