OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. 24.-Neither Carroll Cook,

increase of four judges for that district.
Fond expectations were sent glimmer-
ing today, when Governor Gillett an
nounced that the bill for the increase
In the number of superior judges for
san francisco would be vetoed If it
came to him.
III mas been known for some time that
Governor Gillett was opposed to the
Schmitt bill, which provides for four
additional judges for San Francisco.
Much of that opposition was ascribed
generally to the fact that the friends
or carroll Cook, who was driven off the
bench at the last general election, were
plugging for his appointment to one
of the new places.
1t is almost beyond the pale of possi-
bility that Gillett would appoint Cook
II the bill did become law, but all
fears on that score were removed to-
DAY by the governors first public an
nouncement
San Francisco will get no more
judges this time, said the governor.
1t doesn't need them and you NAV
say for me that if the bill comes to me
will not sign it. San Francisco has
only 100000 people. and the IL judges
on the superior bench can do the
work"
just, before letting down the air cas-
ties of the San Francisco hopefuls. Gill

PLANS A NATIONAL
LEAGUE OF JUSTICE
Rev. William A. RAIDER Urges
Organization at Convention of
Presbyterians
Delegates From Several Large
Cities Pledge Themselves TO
Undertake Work
rspeeial D:seaioh to The Cali

Spcciel Dssoatoh to The Call
PITTsBURG. Pa. Feb. 24.-Rev
William A. RAIDER. pastor OF Calvary
Presbyterian church. San Francisco,
who is one Of the delegates and prin
cipaI speakers at the national conven-
ton Of the Presbyterian brotherhood in
session here, at this afternoons ses-
sion suggested the formation Of ma
tional league Of justice to be pat
termed after the league Of justice in
his home city. In arguing for his plan
DR.. RAIDER said:
MY idea is that the ministers and
lsymen at this convention should carry
home with them some set idea as to
the formation of league OF Justice
When they get TO their respective
cities I wish them to form nonpartisan
leagues OF men in all walks of life,
with the prosecution of men who are
corrupting our cities and destroying
our democracy as their one object"
The suggestion OF Dr. RAIDER was re-
ceived with enthusiasm and before the
session closed he had enlisted the dell
egates from numerous cities who had
given their word TO form leagues upon
their return home.
The cities which VIII follow the ex-
ample Of san Francisco are Chicago,
Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleve-
land. Cincinnati St. Louis, Omaha,
Kansas City, Montreal. Minneapolis,
Milwaukee and Philadelphia.
DR.. RAIDER will hold a conference to-
morrow with some Of the most infiu-
entail men OF Pittsburg and 1t is likely
that this city will fan in line with the
members OF the voters league, which
unearthed the councilmanic graft as a
nucleus. r-
AS soon as the local leagues Of jus
tice are formed IN the various cities
they will be bound together in one i'm
mense chartered organization, as DR..
RAIDER explains, FOR the purpose of
keeping each other informed when a
CRATER moves to greener pastures"

Wright-Stanton Primary Election Bill viii Be Ready
For Consideration OF the Assembly BY Saturday at Latest
Roseberry's Postal Primary Measure Denied
Second Reading in Senate on
Motion of Wolfe
BY George A. Van Smith

CALL HEADQUARTERS CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. 24-Its mechanical fea-
lures approved by Secretary of State
Curry and Registrar OF Voters Zeman-
sky of San Francisco, the Wright-Stan-
ton direct primary election bill will be
ready for the tender consideration of
the assembly not later than Saturday
Senator Wright agreed today with
Secretary of State Curry and Registrar
j. Harry Zemansky to change the date
for the primary election from the first
Tuesday in September to the third
Tuesday in August. The change of
date was deemed expedient to insure
ample time for the compilations, can
vassing and returns to be made by the
registrar of voters in San Francisco and
the county clerk IN Los Angeles and
for the certifications with which the
secretary of state is charged under the
terms of the bill.
WRIGHT FATHERS AMENDMENTS
The amendments requested by ze
mansky and Curry will be offered in
the senate by Wright tomorrow morn
ing. With them will be several other
amendments touching the mechanical
features of the proposed law, made
necessary by faulty copying of the
original minority amendments on which
the test vote was taken in the senate.
The adoption of these amendments
WI {- IN
the printer. but it can be made a spe-
cial order for Friday and be ready for

not later than Monday.
The situation was materially simpli-
fed yesterday by the definite with
drawal of the Roseberry postal pri-
mary bill. which-thanks to the OBJ
jeetions OF Leavitt-remained on the
files until today.
POSTAL MEASURE DROPPED
Roseberry refused to permit his bill
to be used TO defeat the direct pri-
mary movement and asked to be per-
mitted to withdraw it before it had
second reading last week, in order to
leave an absolutely clear field for the
Wright bill Still hoping to defeat the
Wright bill, Leavitt refused his consent
to the withdrawal and the Roseberry
measure was made a special order for
today.
When the special order was reached,
Wolfe of San Francisco, who was the
spokesman of the opposition to the
Wright-Stanton bill. made good on his
announcement of capItulation by NOV
ing that the Roseberry bill be denied
second reading. Roseberry seconded
the motion and by common consent the
postal primary bill Mas dropped out Of

FAILS IN FIGHT ON
FISH COMMISSION
Assemblyman Polsley Unable to
Convince Committee That
Inquiry Is Needed
Especial Dispatch to The Call

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE. BUILDING. SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. 24.-Assemblyman Pols-
ley's attack on the fish commission de-
veloped into something OF farce to-
and game committee of the assembly.
Polsley's resolution demanding an in
vestigation of the commission was
acted on adversely.
Assemblyman JuiIliard announced
that he had consented to appear as the
attorney for Polsley. Coghlan said he
would appear for the members .of the
commission. Neither side seemed anx-
fous to proceed, but the committee in
sisted that Polsley must present some
facts, if possible, to justify his demand
for an investigation.
ATTACK ON REPORTS
Julliard charged the commission
with derehction because the biennial
report had not been filedswith the gov
ernor before September Is. He did
not consider that the preliminary re-
port presented February IA, 1909, was
sufficient. He then read a number of
letters tending to show that there was
a general demand that the commission
be investigated. The very first letter
complained of the management of the
hatchery in Tehama county, whereupon
it developed that the hatchery was op-
Grated by the federal government in
stead of the state.
A. M. Barker of San Jose in a letter
referred to the members of the com
mission as spolitical parasites and
longed for the day when the COVER
nor of the state will wear no collar but
his own"
OLD FIGHT is REVIVED
large number of the letters were
from Monterey and Santa Cruz coun-
ties and were but revival of the old
fight between the two factions that
are trying to dictate the policy of the
state In the matter of fish and game
laws.
Affidavits were presented showing
that d. M. Bond and NJ. A. Carpenter,
two deputies employed by the commits
sion had been charged with numbering
Bob Junior, an Indian accused of tax
ing fish illegally. Bond was convicted,
but his case probably will be appealed.
Julliard showed by the testimony of
III. P. Andrews of Red Bluff that Attor-
ney Matlock had received s125 in De-
cember and a like amount in January
for defending Bond He questioned
the right of the commission to pay at
torney fees and to continue the salaries
of the accused men. Bonds salary
so it was stated. was stopped when he
was convicted.
CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED
Figures We're presented showing that
two years ago the salary roll was $3S,-
600. while at present it is nearly sS3,-
600 year for the commission and
deputies.
General George Stone and Fred W.
Vansicklen, two members of the COM
mission, were present with Chief Dep
uty Charles Vogelsang and demanded
that Polsley submit some definite facts
in support of the charges in ais reso-
lutions.
The committee decided that PolsIey
had not shown sufficient facts to jus
tify serious consideration of the charges.

MERGER CENSURf
IS NOW IN DOUBT
Foraker and Clark Hold Sway
Of Power in Com
mittee
Minority Is Working to Have
Course of the President
Upheld

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-Upon Sena-
tors Foraker of Ohio and Clark OF Ar
kansas depends whether the judiciary
committee of the senate will declare the
absorption of the Tennessee coal and
iron company by the United States steel
corporation to have been in violation
of the Sherman antitrust. and whether
President Roosevelt had a right to
sanction the merger.
The committee today considered the
report of the majority of the subcom-
mittee. which Investigated the merger.
and by a vote of to condemned the
merger and the presidents action in
permitting it, Finally it was agreed
to meet again Monday and vote upon
the report
Senators Kittredge. Culberson and
Overman. who signed the majority re-
port, declare the vote of the committee
will be at least to for its adoption.
The claim is opposed by Senators Clark
of Wyoming and Dillingham;. the mi
nority of the subcommittee, and by SEN
ator Knox, who is working to uphold
the presidents course. other members
do not profess to know how Senator'S
Clark of Arkansas and Foraker will
vote. Known to be for the report are
Messrs. Nelson and Kittredge, repub-
licans. and Bacon. Culberson. Overman
and Raynor. democrats. Against it are
Messrs. Clark of Wyoming, Depew, Dill
lingham, Knox and Fulton, all repub-
licans.
REPORT Is MODIFIED
At the suggestion of Overman.< the
report was modified to declare that the
deal appears to the committee" to be
a violation of the law.
1t was contended by a number of
republican senators who opposed the
report that the motion of the president
should not be analyzed now in a judi
cial manner unless the subject is
treated as an act performed during the
stress of business panic.
The minority of the subcommittee
filed statement asserting that the
committee had exceeded its functions
under the resolution by introducing
evidence which had not been before the
president when he sanctioned the
merger and that the. committee had
judged the case upon this new evil
dence, which the president had not the
opportunity TO consider.
The San Francisco call., 1909-02-25

together as one man. And it is now
extremely doubtful if more than one or
two of the Is seaators who voted
against the measure on the Mccartney
resolution to re-refer to the committee
on elections will vote against the bill
on its final passage.
The fight may be considered as trans
ferred to the assembly now There are
some sorely collar chafed shoulders in
the lower house. and there are smol-
dering embers of desperate opposition
in the ranks Of the assemblymen, who
bitterly resent the defeat of Parker
Lynch and the horde of machine strik-
ers who went down under the senate
steam roller.
CLEAR MAJORITY PLEDGED
The peoples fight is by no means
over. The victory is assured if the
friends of the bill and the public gen
orally do not sleep on their oars. A
clear majority, with seven or eight
votes to spare, is pledged to the bill
These pledges will be kept as the
pledges of the "a senator's were kept.
If it were not for the trimming atti-
tude of some of the assemblymen who
want to vote for the bill. but, who also
want to put off the precipitation Of the
machine bosses wrath until the last
possible minute, the bill could be be-
fore the governor for his signature be-
fore the end of next week.
The fight for the unconstitutional
past. None pretends to believe in that
any more. The language Of the con
stitution and of the amendment rati
fed by a majority of more than 100000
votes is too plain for quibbling.
MACHINISTS SEEK TO CRAWL
A nice round hole. suitable for neat
crawl, is the object of the machinists'
quest now.
The polls of the assembly made for
publication are, naturally enough, not
accurate. While those polls show a
clear majority of the lower house for
the bill and indicate it's passage be-
yond any question, the fact remains
that several assemblymen included in
the doubtful or uncertain lists are for
the bill and have been from the day
of its Introduction.
In addition to these assemblymen
there are a few who will come out of
the doubtful column before many days,
or voluntarily put themselves before
the people of the state as perpetrators
of deliberate bad faith.
The fact remains that when Stanton
gets ready to give the signal the
Wright-Stanton bill will have more
than comfortable majority in the
lower house. Indeed, the further fact
remains that if Stanton gives that sig
nal with any emphasis the vote in the
assembly will compare more than IA
vorably with the two to one vote of the
senate.

Admiral Sperry will leave for Wash

The commanding and other officers

reports from Washington today that
Admiral Sperry would continue as COM
mander in chief of the fleet until his
retirement in September.
Others are inclined to believe the re-
port that President Roosevelt intends
to name the next commander in chief
