The Amended Gambling Bill

The anti-gambling bill passed the as
semblv yesterday afternoon by vote of
Al to 5. According to the following
from the Gazette, Chief Clark Coogan
tried some more funny work with the
bill:
Some of the assemblymen who are
friendly to the bill are quite wrought
up this morning over what they claim
was trick of Chief Clerk Coogans to
kill the bill. They claim that the bill
was reported to the house at o'clock
yesterday AFTERNOON, but that Coogan
failed to report it.. This morning he
again failed to read il with other bills
reported from the senate and immedi-
ately the friends of the bill began to
complain. They went to speaker Giffen
and he called upon Coogan to produce
the bill. Coogan, so it is stated, claim
ed that the bill had already been re-
ported. An investigation followed and
at last Coogan produced the bill and
read it. 1t was then made special
order for the afternoon.
Both branches of the legislature have
now passed the bill and it goes to the
governor for his approval. In view of
his signed statement, Governor Dicker-
son will attach his signature and the
bill will become law before many
days.

The United States grand Jury in
session at Carson has returned an in
dictment against the Southern Pacific
Company on the charge of rebating.
The Indictment is voluminous docu-
rnent of 80 closely type-written pages
and containes fifteen separate counts.
IF the company is convicted and the
maximum penalty is imposed, an aggre-
gate fine of $500, 1000 will be collected,
The Indictment charges that the Cali
fornia Sugar and White Pine Agency, a
corporation engaged in the lumber
business, had made several shipments of
lumber from Clairville and Mohawk. in
the State of California to Verdi in the
State of Nevada. That these shipments
came over the Sierra Valley railway and
the N. G. o. to Reno and were then
transferred to the Southern Pacific for
further shipment tojVerdi. !! The indfot-
nfent alleges that all Of these roads
charged the regular fled and published
tariff rate for shipment of dry Lumbar,
that the s. P. Company collected the
entire regular tariff rate from the
shipper and paid the other roads their
proportionate charge for the haul.
Then the indictment goes on to recite
that after the Southern Pacific company
had collected the proper and legal
amounts as freight charges it related
to the California Sugar and White Pine
agency, the shipping corporation, upon
fifteen separate shipments in different
amounts and thereby Disseminated in
favor OF. that particular shipper.
Each count in the Indictment recites
a different Shipment and upon EACH
shipment it is alleged the law has been
violated. 1t is not known just how
many more indictments of similar
character will be returned by the grand
jury.

One Vote

The state capitol almost went to
Virginia City once, lacking but one
vote.
The. capitol removal furry recalls
several instances when people thought
Carson City was about to lose it..
When Senator Powning was alive he
made periodical grand stand plays about
removing the capitol to Reno. He
never. had the slightest intention of
doing it, but he knew that it gave him
prestige in Reno and votes when he ran
again.
One night Joe Goodman, Rollin
Daggett and Jonas Seeley got on big
bat and left Virginia City in q hack
without knowing whether they would
land in Eureka or Reno, when they
woke up. The driver thought they
asked him to go to Carson City and he
headed in that direction.
Early in the morning the hack reach
ed Carson City and the three men get
ting out at once began a campaign of
education. They announced that they
came to move the capital to Virginia
City. They flooded main street with
wine and soon had most of the mem
bers of the legislature drunk. A bill to
move the capitol to Virginia City passed
the house with whoop. It came with
in one vote of winning in the senate.
Senator Curry who built the capitol
had promisec to vote for it and the next
night while walking with Joe Goodman
near Clark's hill he burst out crying
and told Goodman that he could not
vote to move it for sentimental reasons.
Goodman released him from his promise
and the capitol remained in Carson City.
