Some of the Lawmakers at Washing

Families Should Ride
Free
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S-The senate
today passed the Indian appropriation
bill. Senator Frazer made an address
on the subject of states rights,
after which the army appropriation
bill, carrying a total of $S1, 100000, was
taken up.
The army measure was partly read for
approval of committee amendments
and adjournment vas taken shortly
after O'Clock when it became apparent
that considerable debate was to be
occasioned by an amendmen- to permit
the government to receive reduced rates
from the railroads for the transporta-
ton of troops and supplies for the
army and to allow army officers and
their families to accept free transporta-
ton. The adoption of this amendment
would be a modification of the railroad
rate bill passed at the lust session of

Senator Warren, in charge of the bill,
gave notice that he would press it's con-
sideration tomorrow.
Senator Nelson said that he would
move tomorrow for the consideration

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Replying to
questions about his health today, e.
II. Hartman said:
Everything has been going along
smoothly and they appear to be able
to get along as we'll without me as
with me. Why should 1 not stay at
home altogether?
"But / must work, and soon l may
be looking for new job. My recon-
mendations are many years Of expert
ence on many railroads in many rail-
road fields, and If they will raise the
salary a bit l may apply for a job
on the interstate commerce commits
sion, inasmuch If the interstate COM
merce commission is to run all the
roads 1 think they ought to want me-"
on the congestion OF traffic on the
railroads OF the country Mr.. Hartman
said:
"The railroads cannot build and sup
ply cars for the shippers to use as
storehouses. There are hardly enough
cars for that. Yet the man to whom
a load of freight is consigned thinks
he ought to be privileged to use the
railroad car as a storehouse as long
as he likes.
Limit the time the service of a car
can be used by procrastinating ship
per and much of the present trouble
win disappear"

FRANK WILLARD
To PAY PENALTY
Supreme Court Holds That Commit
ment to Asylum Does Not
Exempt Murderer from
Responsibility

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. San
opinion was rendered in the supreme
court today holding that two commit
ments TO an insane asylum do not
exempt murderer from responsibility
for his crime nor uphold his plea that
at the time of the homicide he was
insane.
This interesting decision was rem
dered in the case of Frank Willard, who
in 1905 shot and killed Sheriff Smith
of Mendocino county. He was arrested
on the charge of insanity and taken be-
fore the court and adjudged insane
Suddenly he leaped to his feet and ran
from the court room, declaring that he
was not insane. The sheriff pursued
him and was killed. Willard escaped
to the mountains, was captured and Inn
mediately sent to the asylum, in which
he had been confined on two prior oc-
casions.
After thirteen days confinement he
applied for a writ of habeas corpus
which was granted, and he was placed
on trial for murder, convicted and givon
the death penalty. From this he ap-
pealed, and the supreme courts de-
ctsion now is that, even IL he had
periodical attacks of insanity he was
responsible at the time of the homicide
and must therefore suffer death by
hanging.
The decision was written by Justice
Lorigan and was concurred In by JUS
tices Shaw, Sloss, Henshaw, Angelotti
and Mcfarland.

LARGEST DRY DOCK IN
THE WORLD TO BE BUILT
By Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8.-The
largest dry dock in the world, with a
stone and concrete basin big enough
to hold any two of the battleships of
the United States at one time, is about
to be constructed at Hunters Point
by the San Francisco Dry Dock COM
pany at cost of $1,250000.
The land has already been surveyed
adjacent to the two docks that the
company already has in operation, and
the work will be rushed to a speedy
completion. 1t is understood that the
work has been undertaken with the
encouragement of the navy department,
which is also said to have expressed
wish that it be carried to an early
completion. The new dock will be 1850
feet in length, 40 feet longer than the
famous dock at Glasgow, and 225 feet
longer than the Alexandria dock in
Belfast harbor.

WOULD WELCOME
ALL FOREIGNERS
California Promotion Committee Is
Anxious to Have Europeans Take
Up Their Abode on the
Pacific Coast
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-Before
the fire last April 1t was estimated
that the population of San Francisco
was 100000. During the first week
there was an estimated loss of 375, 900.
According to the figures of the Cali
fornia promotion committee, there are
now in San Francisco 428,000 people,
being within $4,000 of the number be-
fore the fire. These figures are ar
rived at by a careful computation of
the number of dwelling houses in the
city and the number of occupants. The
average upon which the calculations
are based is seven.
Realizing the fact that throughout
Europe there is a large and desirable
class of people dissatisfied with their
conditions and contemplating immi-
grafton to some other country the CAL
ifornia promotion committee has ar
ranged to have representatives in all
of the foreign capitals for the purpose
OF steering these people to California.
One of the most recent reports re-
ceived by the committee from London
indicates that increased interest is
being shown in California.
