Prince Ito, the resident general of
Japan. His majesty thanked Prince Ito
for his great services to Korea, and

Prince Ito will sail for home ON Jap

The report is prevalent that he will
not return. but will be succeeded by
Viscount Terauchi, at present minister
of war The failure of Prince Ito's re-
turn would be a matter of regret to
Koreans and foreigners alike, with
whom he is extremely popular

indicated that unless there is an early
cessation of sporadic rioting among the
disaffected element. composed of a few
Koreans who, he asserted, are hindering

Fight Plan for Street

Code Commissioner WyIIie Is
Scored for Revision Increas=
ing Governors Power

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO. Feb 6.-The union labor legis-
lators and the union labor lobbyists
from San Francisco are saying some
hard things about Code Commissioner
Wyllie as a result of his attempt 10
endow the governor with the power
10 appoint street railroad police. Incl
dentally there is considerable discus
sion as to just what are the duties of
the code commissioner in relation to the
revision of the law.
The representatives of union labor
here see in the attempt to authorize
the creation of body of street railroad
police a sinister move toward the SUPP
preston of labor unions and the dis
couragement in particular, of street.
car strikes.
When Judge Wyllie handed his code
commission bills to Assemblyman Rech,
chairman of the committee on the re-
vision and reform of laws, he did not
inform him that one of these bills gave
the governor the power to appoint
street railroad police. At the present
time the governor is empowered to ap-
point railroad and steamboat police
only.
John ]. Nolan, representative of the
San Francisco labor council, with
Wnlcn the carmen union is animated,
was the first to discover this enlarge
ment of the governors appointing
power. and he carried a large sized
protest to Rechs committee. That
started the committee investigating,
and il was discovered that Wyllie had
included with his code bills several
providing for substantive changes in
the law. One of them was to repeal
the insolvency act which Wyllie re-
CARDS as superfluous on account of the
federal enactments.
The committee on code bills is not
going to act upon the street police bill
or the insolvency bill or any others
which go beyond mere codification of
the laws. Chairman Rech declares that
these bills viii be referred to the as
sembly for re-reference to the judi
ciary committee, where they belong.
Code Commissioner Wyllie declares
that it is his duty to bring about uni
formity of the laws, and he disavows
any anti union intentions. But his pro-
posed law will cause a hot fight, for
the labor men are preparing to question
his authority as well as to oppose the
measure.

Turn on IsIais Creek Bill

CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SAC
specter of opposition to the Islais
creek project is walking again. Like
q certain celebrated ghost, 1t Will not
down, but keeps bobbing up in the
legislature at the moment when the
course of the Islais creek bill seems
smOothest. This time the opposition
is expected to come from the most dan
gerous source of all, the San Francisco
Senatorial delegation. While this del
egation was unanimously in favor of
the Islais creek bill when 1T was re-
ferred to them as a committee, there
are indications that some of them have
changed their minds in the matter and
are preparing to do somersauit when
the bill comes up for debate upon the
floor of the senate.
Those who are in a position to know,
state, with more or less positiveness,
that Senators Anthony, Finn, Hare,
Hartman and Reilly are the backsliders.
Kennedy, Welch and Wolfe as the only
San Francisco champions of the bill in
the upper house.
Opposition to the Islais creek bill on
the part of San Francisco senators will
be particularly unfortunate because the
S 0O0,00 bond issue for the improve
ment of the So blocks of water lots
must stand or fall with the sS,00O,000
bond issue for other needed improve
ments of the water front. Both bond
issues are included in one bill, and the

HOTEL MAN GETS
PRISON SENTENCE
John Men. Parker Given Three
Year Term for Embezzling
Guests Money

Disregarding varied assortment of
pleas for leniency, Judge Dunno yester-
day sentenced John Men. Parker, for
mer manager of the Balboa hotel, who
embezzled money and drafts totaling
nearly $4,000 intrusted to him by a
guest, to three years imprisonment in
San Quentin The robbery took place
September 19. The money belonged to
Miss Anna Buckley. a travelling Eng
lish woman. Parker, with part of the
stolen property in his possession, was
arrested at the ferry building just as
he was leaving the city. He had sent
some of it to his wife in Omaha.
w. NJ Gibson, his attorney, raised
the point yesterday that the crime of
embezzlement had not been proved. in
asmuch as it had not been shown that
Miss Buckley made any demand for
her property other than her question,
Where is the money 1 gave your"
Judge Dunno disposed of this point by
saying there was a plain attempt to

made restitution of the bulk of the
money, and next spoke of the defend
ants IL year old daughter.

other day and he showed me a letter

1T was pitiful-pitiful. 1t is his inno-

Next Gibson attributed the crime to
drink and not generalization and
finally commented on the fact that
Parker had worked for wealthy corr
porations, handling large sums of
money, but had never before misap-
propriated anything.
He is a man of intelligence and
should have known better" said Judge
Dunno in imposing sentence The
testimony showed design and deliber-
