All opposed will signify by saying
no."
thunderous shout of disapproval
was the response.
The noes have it." ruled the Speaker.
Stanton fell back in his chair. He
didn't want the money, but his brother
legislators declared he must not re-
fuse it, Therefore S54 will be drawn
from the treasury by the chairman of
the fish and game committee in the
name of Phil Stanton.
The committee that went to Sissons
was extremely generous. Fearing it
would not be able to spend enough of
the States money 1t invited Sergeant
at Arms Jack Stafford to go along as
its guest Jack went and he. like the
members, was allowed s54 mileage. This
was kind of the committee and Jack
lost nothing by it. Possibly he pays

pitals and asylums to make junketing
trip to Napa and Ukiah. Davis and

OPPOSE INSURANCE BILL
Legislators Not Disposed to Leave Amy
LOOphOIe in Fire Policies

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.-THE insur-
ance companies are meeting with de-
termined opposition in the Senate COM
mittee on insurance to include the fall
ing building clause in the standard
form of policy now being drafted
Three hours were devoted tonight in
further consideration of the form, and
considerable heat attended some of the
clashes between members of the COM
mittee and I. c. Coogan and others,
representing the Board of Under
writer's.
Senator Leavitt said the insurance
companies had taken advantage of
every bubble and technicality to evade
claims after the San Francisco fire, and
that the main object of the Legislature
should be to make the standard form
so binding that repetition of these
tactics would be impossible.

AID PROMISED FOR

San Francisco Delegation
Assured of Money for
the Harbor improvements
BILLS TO BE PASSED
CALL HEADQUARTERS.
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO. Feb IA delega-
tion from the allied mercantile inter
ests in San Francisco waited upon
support on bills relating to harbor i'm
provements now before the Legisla-
ture. The delegation consisted of R..
K. Swayne, l.. NJ. King, c. L. Tilden,
James McNab, Robert Dollar, w. G..
Tibbetts, Edgar Painter, w. F. Mar
vim, Thomas Magee, T. c. F'riedlander,
c. NJ. Elliott and Allen G. Wright.
Among other things discussed by the
delegation with the Governor was the
feasibility of obtaining direct ap-
preparation or of transferring enough
out of the State school fund to buy the
land adjoining Islais Creek.
The delegation, after it's conference
with the Governor, waited upon the
Senate committee on commerce and
navigation, and urged the passage of
Senator Wolfe'ss measure providing for
the issuance of $2,000,000 bonds for
harbor improvements.
An amendment was adopted by the
committee to the measure to make the
expenditure of the s2,0o0,o00 include
improvements to the Belt Line road
AS originally drafted the measure
specified that the appropriation to be
voted for by the people was to be used
for wharves and seawall.
Harbor improvements in San Fran
cisco were extensively discussed by the
delegation before the committee.
Swayne said that the transfer of China
Basin to the Santa Fe Railroad was a
great legislative blunder. Senator
Wolfe, who had opposed the transfer,
drew attention to the fact that he had
predicted that the mercantile interests
of San Francisco would ultimately come
to that conclusion, although none of
them mad lent support to the opposi-
tion he had directed against the basin
being given over to the Santa Fe.
The committee, after hearing the
delegation, voted unanimously to rec
ommend the passage of the bill appro-
priating the $2,000,000
The judiciary committee of the Sen
ate also listened to the delegation, and
agreed to report favorably on the con-
stitutional amendment submitted by
Senator Wolfe, providing for the rails
ing of the limit of maturity on State
bonds from twenty to seventy five
years. Swayne told the committee that
it would be a question of only few
years when the Legislature would be
asked TO provide for at least $4,000, 900
additional for harbor improvements.
A measure providing for the issuance
of $750,000 in bonds to buy the land
adjoining Islais Creek will be intro
duced by Senator Welch of San Fran
cisco tomorrow or Saturday.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.-Two Re-
publican Senators, Boynton and Welch,
refused to take programme today on
the so-called four-track right of way
bill fathered by Anderson of Santa
Ana Curtin of Sonora said he was
not opposed to the extension of track
privileges from nine to ten rods, as
provided in the bill, but that he thought
il wise TO safeguard the interest of
competing roads and prevent them from
being impeded in canyons and gorges.
The amendment he offered provided for
the sharing of trackage in such cases
with the road that had the original
right of way, and for the settlement of
disputes arising out of such conditions
in court Anderson opposed the amend
ment. claiming it was unnecessary.
Leavitt and Carter argued in the same
strain. The rollcall on the adoption
of the amendment resulted as follows

Caminetti changed his vote from no
TO aye and gave notice that he would
move for a reconsideration of the vote
by which the bill passed.
Boynton, Republican, who declared in
the debate that the measure was a
vicious one, pointed out that four
tracks were laid in New York on six
rods in Massachusetts on five rods, in
Illinois on six rods, in Indiana and
Michigan on six rods and in Pennsyl-
vania on sixty feet

through the national capital today in
support of the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Webber of Ohio to rid the
District of Columbia from the liquor
traffic Men, women and children, rep
resentfng score of total abstinence
organizations, formed the procession
which moved through the Capitol for
more than two hours, while Webber
and other prohibition advocates were
speaking before the House committee
on the District of Columbia in an eff
fort to secure favorable action upon the
bill Only fifty of the temperance ad-
vocates were able to get into the small
committee room, but the rest moved
constantly past the open doors of the

Women made up three-fourths of the
procession and practically all of them
wore the white badge. Plainly dressed

the procession clergymen seemed to
prevail.
Miss Phoebe Cousins was among
those speaking against prohibition

that the law against liquor selling re-
suited in unlawful traffic in liquor as
well as deception and general lawless-

KNOX ARGUES FOR
REED SNOOT

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-Senator
Knox today addressed the Senate in
opposition to the resolution reported
from the committee on privileges and
elections that "Ree0 Smoot is not en-
titled to seat as a Senator of the
United States from Utah. He was
accorded the. closest attention because
of his discussion of the legal ques-
tions involved on the point of expul-
sion, which would require thirds of
the Senate, or exclusions requiring only
majority of the votes. He contended
that nothing less than two-thirds of
the entire membership of the Senate
could unseat the Utah Senator.
Knox asked: Should the Senate ex-
pei Senator Smoot and why?" and an
swered his own question, saying: He
should not be expelled for believing in
the Mormon religion. The irrevocable
ordinance expressly. and with Mormons
in view, guaranteed religious tolera-
tion in the State of Utah. He should
not be expelled for being member or
officer of the Mormon Church for the
same reason. He should not be expelled
for the vindication of Utah's law, vio-
lated by certain Mormons continuing
polygamous relations with Senator
Smoot's consent or approval, supposing
he did consent or approve; for Utah,
without DelnS ignorant OF the 1actS,
elected him, and the Senate would not
be justified in going out of its way
to enforce respect for the formerly ex-
pressed will of Utah embodied in it's
law against polygamous relations by
defeating it's later expressed will shown
in its electing Smoot."
Knox argued that there was no fed
eral law against polygamy or polyg
amous cohabitation applicable to Utah,
in Utah as a State, and that when she
was admitted to the Union of States
1t was known that there would and
could be none.
