Leavitt of Alameda. who introduced
the bill providing for the creation of

Office of the auditing board of the
Commission of Public Works. River
land owners have succeeded in induc-

retard the work II has been advancing.
The Governor may change the person
mel of the board, but intends to have
all of its members residents of Sacra-

name Of the body will also be changed
to the consulting board. 1t will be
made to consist of five members, who

She is here with Alva Udell, chief agi-

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 15.-Assembly
man p. W. Forbes. a Bourbon represen-
tative from Inyo County, made nine
speeches today on as many different
subject at issue.
Some of Forbes collea cues intima ted
privately that he had found a jug in
one Of the committee rooms, but be that
IS II may, Forbes was full of liquid elo-
ouence. and at every opportunity reared
himself on his hind legs and talked of
the need Of combating immortality.
Take II all in all, IT was an heroic
effort, for Forbes had much difficulty
IN conQuering the FIVE syllables of his
subject word. Every time he scored q
linguai victory over the word I'M
morality he earned and received the
applause of the house.
When Assemblyman Coghlan brought
up the resolution declaring the need Of
raising the duty on lumber consigned
10 San Francisco and urging Califor-
MAS representatives in Congress to
support such exemption, Forbes was in
his prime. Coghlan made an earnest
plea for the relief desired. When he
sat down Forbes, for the seventh time
IN one afternoon, arose to make g few
remarks Speaker Beardslee ruled him
out of order on the ground that the
clerk had already been instructed to

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The House.

100000. Burton of Ohio made an un-
successful effort to strike out the pro-
vision for an additional battIeship o.
the Dreadnought type. His amendment
was voted down IA to 146
Speaking in support of his motion
Burton called attention to the ineyi
table tendency of advancing civiliza-
tion toward peace. the untiring en-
deavors of nations not involved in
conflict to prevent war between other
countries between which controversies
arose. He spoke of the growth of ar
bitration as means of settling dis
putes, and the intolerable burden of
maintaining armies and navies He
said that in the United States in re-
cent years the expenditure of the mill
tary and naval establishments had
grown to be five times as great as in
1887. only twenty years ago.
Burton deprecated the war talk in
regard to the japanese and contrasted
the size of the navies of the two coun-
tries, showing that with ships un-
der construction the United States navy
would be nearly two thirds larger than
that of the Japanese and was at pres
ent half larger.
Crumpacker of Indiana favored the
big ships for the protection of the
Philippines. "I believe" he said, "the
/ Philippines are the sword of Damocles
hanging over the head of this repub-

authorized in the bill on the Pacific

Sacramento Carmen Say 1t VIII Reduce

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15-The bill in
troduced by Leavitt of Alameda in the
Senate limiting the employment of
street car employees to eight hours a
day is likely to result in an energetic
scrap when IL comes UP on the floor for
.-nal passage.
The carmen of Sacramento have a
lobby opposing the bill, arguing that it
will reduce their daily earnings. They
now get 80 cents an hour for a nine
hour day.
The railroads are against the move
ment in sentiment, as it will necessitate
the restoration of the extra shift
They will not lose anything because OF
the hourly wage paid to employees, how
ever, and are not offering any organized
