BILL FOR asTRAPHANGERss

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2.-The COM
mittee on Judiciary of the House has
reported favorably on Grove Johnson's
bill which will enable train and street
car passengers to refuse to pay fare
If they are not provided with seats.
The bill will undoubtedly pass the As
senbly. Sentiment in the Senate con-
cerning it is unknown to Johnson, who
says he is not trying to lassoo any law
makers to support it.
The bin speaks for itself" he said
today. TT is as plain as the deca-
logue and I personally believe it ia
good law to say to any railroad organ
ization, Thou shalt not collect fare
unless q seat is provided the rider A
lot has been said about this measure
that was due to lack of knowledge. A
law has been in force since 1872 re-
quiring railroad corporations to pro-
vide seats for passengers, but no pen
atty for failure to comply with this
law is stipulated. The only new feature
about the bill is that IL provides a
penalty-the fare of the passenger
who is not given a seat"

SAVINGS
DESERTS WIFE


MARTINEZ. Feb. 2-Leaving his
pretty young wife in a room of the
Burlington Hotel at Port Costa last
night, Charles Bussee, a former San
Francisco boarding g-house keeper, fed
the town on an overland train for the
East, taking with him $500 In bills,
representing the combined savings of
the couple for some months. Constable
Ahern of Port Costa telegraphed to
Sacramento in the hope of apprehend-
ing the fleeing man, but he had pur-
chased a hcket under the name of
Thornhill to New York City and was
we'll on his way out of the State.
Mrs. Bussee is penni1ess In this city
and dependent on the kind-heartness
of strangers. In her opinion. the de-
sertion was premeditated, as Bussee
told her upon reaching Port Costa that
there was no later train to Sacramento
and that 1t would be necessary to re-
main IN the town overnight.

True Cause of Disease.

matter to the welfare and happiness OF
the people
DR.. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
OF the germ theory that most diseases
are caused by climatic Influences.

FamIIIanty b business.

Familiarity in business or out,
breeds contempt between men and
women, says Anna Steese Richard
son in remarkable article on 'sThe
Influence Of Women on Business, :"
in the October Woman's Home Com
panion. at is all very well to say
that the modern girl is happier III
the end for losing some OF her illus
sions regarding men. Perhaps. But
if she gains along this lire she loses
by having no more illusions about
womanhood, wifehood and mother
hood. Only the woman who can
hold these sacred for herself and
the ran she loves enriches the home
life in America and leaves to her
country the heritage Of well-balanc-
ed sons and daughters.
sThe woman embittered by the
contempt which follows familiarity
with men in business sees in matri-
mony only relief from irkseme toll.
For her, marriage does not represent
the fulflment of her highest destiny,
the most wonderful opportunities OF
|
womanhood. She is not reaching
out for the browning happiness Of her
life. She is grimlY trying to choose
the lesser Of two evils.'

Indian War Claims.

tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 2l.-The
Indian War Claim Commission held
q session Wednesday and received a
file OF the claims which the commit.
tee will, in the course of its author
lied duty, pass upon. The amount,
Of the claims reaches about $780,
900. 1t is not probable that any
great proportion of this amount will
be paid, for many of them will
undoubtedly be proven invalid and
for other sufficient reasons viii be
thrown out.
1t will be necessary for some mem-
Der OF the commission to go to
Washington and prove the claims
by the original records on file at the
national capital, as none Of the re-
cords necessary are now in the
custody of.the state.
The work Of the commission has
thus far been only preliminary, and
it is not probable that the claims will
be paid for'some time to come. pro-
badly not-before the next session OF
the Legislature, as the amount Of
valid claims will, of necessity, be re.
turned to the Legislature as valid aud
OF credit for payment. The commlt-
tee is only an auditing committee
and though it should order claims
paid, there are no funds now avaia-
