mendation that 1t do pass. This is
the bill said to have originated in the
Ruef-Schmitz camp and to have for
its object the relieving of beleaguered

but many members of the Legislature
still view the bill with suspicion.
A hot fight in committee preceded
the decision to make favorable report.

REACHES To PULL
COFF MANS NOSE
Senator Rolley, Angered by
Alleged Discourtesy, At
tacks Tehama Politician
MEN ARE SEPARATED
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-Senator
George T. Rolley of Eureka was about
to emphasize his opinion of P. H. Coff-
man. chairman of the Republican coun-
ty central committee of Tehama with
his fists this afternoon, when friends
intervened and prevented curbstone
conflict in front of the Golden Eagle
Hotel
The encounter was the result of
bill introduced in the House this morn
ing by Assemblyman j. w. Finney OF
Downieville, although Rolley and Coff-
man have been arrayed against each
other since the latter was deprived Nof
supervision over Gillett's gubernatorial
campaign in Tehama on the charge or
treachery The Governor comes from
the same county as Rolley and is one
of the Humboldt Senator's intimate
friends. When his campaign in Te-
hama was placed in charge of the State
Republican committee, Coffman came
to the conclusion that Rolley was one
of the Governors advisors responsible
for the transfer. and has been playing
politics against him since.
One of Rolley's pet measures is
bill passed by the Senate early in the
week providing for an appropriation of
$50, 900 to build a highway connecting
the road systems of Trinity and Hum
boldt counties. Coffman thought the
bill should be made definite as to the
direction of the highway, holding out
for a route that would benefit Tehama
as well as Humboldt and Trinity. Yes
terday Coffman and Hall went over the
bill with Rolley, who agreed to amend
it as they would suggest They Of
fered TO submit the changes they would
make to him. but instead of doing this
they embodied them in a new bill,
which was introduced by Assemblyman
Finney this morning.
When Rolley heard of the introduc-
ton of this bill he began to express
himself in a very emphatic fashion.
Finally he ran into Coffman in front
of the hotel. and the attention of on
lockers was soon attracted to their
high words After calling Coffman a
liar, Rolley blurted out:
You've broken your promise, acted
in bad faith and employed the deceit
characteristic of your Red Bluff brand
of politics.
"If 1 couldn't keep my word as well
as you, l wouldn't be here" replied the
man from Tehama.
IF you say that again I'll pull your
nose" said Rolley, and he reached for
ward to make good his threat
Both closed. but friends jumped in
and separated them before blows were
struck Coffman was led away. Neither
was inclined TO discuss the trouble after
it was over.

CORPORATIONS RAP
TAX AME ENDMENT
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. e.-Discussion of
the constitutional amendment providing
for the separation of State from local
taxation, which has been prepared as
the result of the work of the commits
sion appointed by the last Legislature.
occupied three and half hours before
the joint Senate and Assembly commit
tee tonight
Jere Burke, representing the South
ern Pacific: John A. Britton, represent
ing the San Francisco Gas and Electric
interests; E. L. Pillsbury, representing
the San Francisco telephone and tele-
graph companies, and w. E. Dunn and
A. L. Selig, representing the Hunting
ton and other Southern California street
railway and electric enterprises, were
among those who attended the meet
ing. Burke was the only one who did
not take part in the discussion. The
others all spoke against the rates of
taxation provided in the proposed
amendment. arguing for the most part
that it would increase the amount they
were now paying from 40 to so per cent
A peculiar fact about the result of
this very exhaustive amendment is that
it is not being opposed by the Southern
Pacific, although its adoption will in
crease its taxes several hundred thou
sand dollars annually. The Southern
Pacific is willing to pay this increase
for the reason that it would dispense
with the necessity of maintaining ex-
pensive lobbies and corps of taxation
experts.
Other corporations do not look upon
it in the same light, Dunn arguing that
the doubling of the rate of taxation
would seriously interfere with the de-
velopment of the Huntington and other
railway interests in California Pills
bury doubted the justice of taxation on
national banks, as proposed. even con-
ceding that the State would be acting
within its constitutional rights in doing
so. He said he was speaking from inti-
mate knowledge in declaring that the
national banks of San Francisco would
contest the provisions of the amend
ment- He thought other provisions of
the amendment were in violation of in
terstate laws
Professor Carl Plehn of the Univer-
sity of California, who was retained by
the commission as an expert in draft
ing the amendment, contested this and
other statements made by Pillsbury in
relation to its provisions
Britton, I'm protesting against a rate
OF per cent on the gross earnings of
light companies, said it would even
tually Increase the cost of light to
consumers. Last year, he said. the in
terests he represented paid s214.OOO in
taxes. He thought this was more than
ample on the earnings resulted.
Grove Johnson put Professor Plehn
through an inquisition and read from
figures which showed that the amend
ment would decrease the tax of the
United Railroads in San Francisco
s200,0 600. 1t would also, he declared.
decrease the tax of the Santa Fe and
other railroads. Both Plehn and Sena-
tor Curtinl expressed it as their opinion
that the United Railroads was over
taxed and was entitled to the decrease.

10 HOURS AS AGAINST IS HOURS

Chicago to New York in ten hours
by the Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line Railroad" There are people who
look upon that statement as visionary,
or If they admit that such thing may
be possible, they picture to them
selves a train scooting along at a
speed that threatens disaster to every
body on board.
AS a matter of fact, there is nothing
difficult or dangerous at all in operat-
ing ten-hour schedule under the con-
ditions that will prevail on this road.
In the first place, If it is practical for
the New York Central and Lake Shore
roads to operate in eighteen hours, the
Air Line will be able to operate in
13% hours with no other advantage
than the shorter distance we have to
travel. Our line will be 230 miles
shorter than the Vanderbilt system.
But, in addition to that, the Air Line
will be without material grades or
curves and will have no grade cross
ings, either highway or railroad. 1t
will not run through any large cities,
and hence trains will not have to slow
down as they must do when running
through cities like South Bend, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and
Albany.
In addition, the Air Line will not be
required under electrical operation to
change engines, as they must do on a
steam operated road. and in that re-
spect considerable time will be saved.
Then, too, electric trains will not have
to stop for water or coal, in addition
to which the use of electricity will
enable them to make higher rate of
speed than can be made by locomotives,
though that will hardly be necessary
in view of the other advantages the
Air Line will have.
The facts are that the Air Line will
be able to operate ten-hour schedule
with just as much safety as the Van
derbilt and Pennsylvania systems are
doing today in eighteen hours.

ANOTHER JAPANESE
RESOLUTION
Senator Black Introduces
One Demanding Effective
Exclusion of Brown Men
GOES TO COMMITTEE
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-Senator Black
of PaIo Alto introduced a joint resolu-
tion today requesting. the president
and Senators of the United States, con-
stituting the treaty power, not to make
or ratify any treaty with Japan which
does not provide for the effective ex-
clusion of all Japanese laborers from
the United States by tests to be deter
mined within the territory of the United
States and at the port Of entry.
The resolution came as a surprise in
view of the recent request from WASH
ington that no Legislative action be
taken by California while the new nego-
tiations with Japan are pending
Black, however, believes that frank
ness at time when the new treaty is
being entered upon is necessary.
The resolution, which was referred
to the committee on Federal relations,
follows:
Therefore. 1t is by the Senate OF the State
That in view Of the foregoing statements the
Legislature of the State of California most
earnestly requests the President and Senators
of the United States. constituting the treaty
making power of the United States. not to make
or ratify any treaty with Japan which does
japanese laborers from the United States by
tests TO be determined within the territory OF
the United States. and at the port Of entry.
That the Legislature of the State of Cali
fornia earnestly requests that such treaty
be made ratified unless Ii contains ex-
press and unqualified reservation to the effect
that the Congress of the United States shall
be at liberty to pass any and all such laws as
it may deem needful for the more enectivs
exclusion of japanese laborers.
That the Legislature of the State of Call

be made or ratified unless 1t shall contain an
express proviso that nothing in such treaty
shall ever be held or construed TO annul. ef-

AUSTRIAN COURTS
To BE PLACATEO
House Passes Bill to Make
Way Easier for Policy
Holders Suing in Vienna
A SECTION
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6-A bill by
Drew of Fresno, designed to help poll
cy-holders whose claims of losses have
been denied by the Austrian Phoenix
Insurance Company, passed the Assem-
bly, today by unanimous vote. This
measure repeals section 1896 of the
Code of Civil Procedure, which requires
nonresident and foreign corporations
to give security for costs on instituting g
court actions
Prior to the vote Drew read a letter
from San Francisco. reviewing the eff
forts to collect from the Austrian COM
pany and calling it ''the most insolent
of the we1chers." 1t appears that while
Austria has no law like section 1896
its courts, exercising the right of re-
taliation, have compelled San Francisco
.ltigants to furnish security for costs,
in one case fixing the amount as high
as 9 per cent of the judgment sought.
Counsel for San Franciscans now suing
in Vienna believe that the Phoenix
policy holders have a good cause of
action under Austrian law and give
opinion that the repeal of section 1896
by California will relieve San Francisco
claimants of a burden so heavy as to
discourage litigation. even though
there is no question as to the justice
of the claims.
Insurance WelCneTS Will ma nOJnln &
to please them in a bill introduced to-
day by Assemblyman Devlin of Vallejo.
1t provides that if an insurance COM
pany refuses to pay on the ground that
the fire which caused the loss was due
to an earthquake or an explosion, or
anything remote, it must, when sued,
set forth in its defense the exact peril
which it alleges caused the loss and
in what manner the peril excepted to
contributed to the loss itself
