INDICATES sENATE's POLICY

This test vote is conclusive as to
the policy Of the senate on railroad
legislation. Senator Stetson readily
admitted that it effectually disposed Of
his bin. Any fight which may now
develop in the senate over railroad
regulation will center about the Wright
bill and proposed amendments to it,
The plea of the champions of the
Wright bill was that its constitutional
ity could not be denied. while the con-
stitutionality OF the Stetson bill was
open TO serious question. The debate
never wandered far from this point.
After Stetsen had explained at length
the main points Of diferente between
his bill and Wright's he devoted him
self TO a careful examination of the
claim that the absolute rate feature
was unconstitutional.
When he had proved to his own sat

railroad commission and give them to
the railroads." he asked.
Caminetti declared that he was will
ing to take the Judgment of the attor-
ney general, who had approved the
constitutionality of the Stetson bill
after more than a year of study. Mil
Ter and Curtin went on record for the
thought the more comprehensive meas
ure the better one to submit TO the
examination of the courts.
Wolfe spoke for the Wright bill, and
so did Leavitt. who asked Stetson:
IF absolute rates are declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court
what can be done under your bill?
The railroad commission can still
fix maximum rates" answered Stetson.
The test vote was then taken, with
the result that the Stetson bill was
turned down in favor of the Wright
bill
Attorney General Webb had little to
say about the defeat of the Stetson bill.
There was very persistent fight
made against the measure. and l real
lied the difficulty of getting 1t passed"
he said.
IF the constitutionality of the Wright
bill is upheld and it is properly enforced
it viii be step in the right direction.
But in order to obtain the effectiveness
of the Stetson bill it would have to be
rewritten. Amendments will help it,
but they can not put it on plane with

Preston Of Ukiah led the attack on

Sacramento statesman severely enough
TO make him show his true coIors. He
berated the primary bill as an assault
on the republican party. He declared
that it had been drawn by a wicked
newspaperman for the express purpose
Of destroying the republican party
With a characteristic regard for We
racity he reduced the list Of republican
newspapers in California TO two, a local
sheet and a Los Angeles paper. by de-
claring that no republican newspaper
in the state advocated the wright
stanton bin and that no respectable
element Of the republican party was

 Calcutta. Jan. 6.-Aroused to fana- tical fury by the desecration of their temple at Titaghur by the Hindu mob, which despoiled the mosque and cast the deepest possible insult upon the Mohammedans by hurling within the temple the carcass of a pig. Moham- medan hordes are pouring toward the town from all directions bent on ex- terminating the offenders. British troops and constabulary from neigh boring towns have been rushed to Titaghur to guard the Hindus but it is feared the force will be insufficient to prevent bloody clash. In the event of a further conflict there will un- doubtedly by an uprising of the Hindus throughout Bengal where they number 42,000,000 and the Mohammedans 10,000,- 900.
