of the ticket was beaten by vote of

startling. Although regarded as pre-
eminently reform BILL the Holohan
proposition obtained the votes of such
stalwart performers as Hare. Leavitt,

men credited with reform proclivities
voted against it.

place the bill had % votes-enough to
pass it. But before the roll call was
finished Senators Bills, Burnett, Hurd
Martineli. Roseberry and Thompson
switched to the other side. Here is the
roll call:

ton. Caminetti, Campbell Cartwright

to enter the lists as the champion of
the poor man.
If he were the only source of oppo-
sition to the bill the people could well
afford to fold their hands and be
amused mildly at the continuation Of
the long series of beatfngs that has
been handed out to the Sacramento
statesman by the senate and assembly.
There is other danger to the cause

of the assembly are given over to a
passion for fixing things. They have
mania for amending measures after
hours of fierce debate. The f1xers. be

The mechanical features of the bill
have been under consideration by the
senate or its committees for nearly so
days. They have been probed by the
San Francisco board of election COM

the registrar of voters of San Fran

EXPERTS APPROVE MEASURE
These experts have placed the stamp

say it is a perfectly workable meas
The bill is what the people want.
They will have right to be suspicious
of any attempt to inject a lot of incon-
seQuential amendments into the bill

ent purpose than to precipitate a fight

of which the enemies of direct pri-
maries may dodge, and in the last
days of the session defeat the bill
hi !, (N-Ix

Such attempts, if submitted to by the

gone on record for the bill, will SUBJ

justifable suspicion.

While Schmitt will not admit that

inference may be drawn. Boke has
been active in Lincoln Roosevelt league
affairs and for that reason has been

I called for the contracts between
the regents and the heads of depart-

think this is bad practice. / sug-
gested that in future when men are
employed as heads of departments
there should be some contracts where
by the regents and the people of the
state of California, through their rep
resentatives, the members OF the state
Legislature, can find out what the pro-
fessors are supposed to do and whether
they are doing it. I also called atten-
tfon to the section of the constitution
that the university must be kept clear
from all political and sectarian influ-
enceS, and hope the professors in fu-
ture will refrain from taking part in
political or fectionaI party issues or
contests"
A draft of Schmitts report is now in
the hands of others of the COMMITTEES

MENTO, Feb. 26--That Herrin has not
entirely lost his grip on the assembly
was manifested today when Senator
Sanfords joint resolution asking for
the establishment of government line
of steamers on the Pacific between San
Francisco and Panama was considered
The senate had refused to concur in.
the assembly amendments, which re-
moved all criticism of the Pacific Mail
steamship company, and the request for
the establishment of the line leaving
little more than request that con-
gress extend the power of the inter
state commerce commission in passing
upon the reasonableness of rates.
A NJ. Drew, who had fought to pre-
serve the resolution IN its original
form, moved that the assembly COM
ply with the request of the senate and
recede in the matter of the amend
ments. He explained that the assem-;
bly, amendments robbed the document
of its purpose, which was to provide
relief from the increase in transcon-
tinental freight rates.
0IOV6 JOnQSOu, always the ITlS0Q
of the Pacific Mail steamship company,
was promptly on his rect to plead the
cause of the steamship ally of the
transcontinental lines. He urged that
a conference committee be appointed.
He held that the original resolution
contained charges against Senator'S
Perkins and Flint and the Pacific Mail.
which he considered unjustifed.
Drew denied that there was anything
in the resolution rejecting on the two
United States senators.
j. P. Transue of Los Angeles also
came to the rescue of the Pacific Mail,
joining with Johnson in defense of the
emasculated resolution.
DO you represent the Pacific Mail
steamship company" pointedly asked
Harry Polsley.
'I represent myself IN this matter"
responded Transue, as soon as he had
recovered from this unusually blunt
question.
Drew was finally persuaded to with
draw his motion to recede, Is members.
nevertheless, voting against such a
move.
Speaker Stanton thereupon named
Grove l.. Johnson, A. M. Drew and ].
P Transue as the members of the
conference committee, with instructions
to meet like committee of the senate.
With Johnson and Transue openly ad-
vocating the cause of the Pacific Mail
Drew will not have much chance.
