Sacramento, Cal. Jan. zo'-Sena'
tor Anthony Caminett today intro
duced in the legislature a bill to en-
able the people Of the state to eA-
,ross nv ballot their preference ior
The Office Of United States senator
This is practically the same Oil
introduced two years ago by Senator
y. 3. Sanford.
The feature Of this measure Is Ihe
double form Of statement which leg
islators may sign If they desire one
pledpes the elected lawmaker to
abide by the choice Of the people for
United States senator, as expressed
I'm the election which placed him in
office. According to this promise, the
legislator must always vote for that
candidate for United States senator
who shall have received for that Of
flee the highest number of the votes
cast at the general election"
The other pledge merely classifi
the vote Of the people as nothing
more than recommendation which
The lawmaker shall consider but shall
be at liberty wholly to disregard If
he sees fit.
An effort will be made to substi-
ute this measure for any and all so
utlons of the questions of electing a
United States senator, now before the
legislature In special bills and direct
primary acts.

BUMPER TOBACCO CROP
IN BLUE GRASS STATE

louisville. Kentucky's Burley
and other grades of tobacco In the
1909 crop will be the largest in guam
tity ever known, nearly four hundred
million pounds. This was announced
today by those Louisville banks which
have been gathering figures from
their correspondents in the various
counties where the weed is grown.
The Burley coffee, they announce
amounts to 200,O0O,000 alone. OF
this, between So and 65 per cent has
been pooled with the Burley Tobacco
and Insurance company. Prices this
year per pound will average from II
to IA cents, with 10 and 20 cents as
maximum and minimum, respective
ly. Loose leaf sales have come into
popularity again, and warehouses Gf
the type are being established in the
various counties, Dark tobacco
counties. however, are not favoring
pools and are selling individually.
Bank officials say that the money
market of the state, which has tight
ened owing to the pools, will relax
on early movement of the crop and
that there is every indication that
the pools and Independents will sell
early.

LADIES' TAILOR ASPIRES
TO BE CITY ATTORNEY

Los Angeles, Calf. - A novel sit

city council when A. r. Holston, who
was one of the candidates for nomi-
nation for city attorney at the recent
primary election asked to have mis-
name put on the ballots in the regu-
lar election on December Z, notwith-
standing that he received only the
third highest number of votes for the
nomination. He makes the request
because the man who received the
highest is not an attorney, but a la
dies tailor. He could not serve as
city attorney IL he was elected. AS he
has never been admitted to the bar
or even studied law, Holston contend

City Attorney Hewitt decided that
the name of George Edwards, the
tailor in question. should go on the
ballot. declaring that the primary

DECLARES PROPHETS OF
ISRAEL WE'RE MUCKRAKERS

Lawrence. Kan.-The prophets
Isaiah, Ezekiel and jeremiah were
classed as muckrakers and many of
the stories of the Old Testament were
termed myths by DIR. Charles Foster
Kent of the Yale divinity school, in
a lecture before the students of the
University of Kansas here yesterday.
'"The prophets of Israel were the
social reformers of their time" he
said "They were muckrakers, to use
a present day term. They were sem
sational in their methods, notably
Isaiah. Ezekiel and jeremiah.
While Professor Kent believes that
many of the stories in the Old Tes-
timent are myths he sees good in
them. He says the prophets were
teaching simple people and were
forced to use extraordinary means to
drive home their points.
In discussing the story of the Gar
den of Eden, the speaker said he be-
lleved 1t to be a legend that served
a good purpose, being we'll fitted to
the child-like minds of the people to
whom 1t was first related.

23 FOR TOMMY.
Famous Race Horse Expires at Ripe
Old Age.

New York.-The death OF Tommy.
one OF the most famous race horses
OF the American turf, in Kentucky
at the age of 23 years, is a matter
of general comment here among
sporting men. 1t is an odd coinci-
dence that Tommy died only a few
months after his greatest rival, SAL
vator, and at the same age.
Salvador, tha fastest horse in the
world, defeated Tommy by head in
two races and their contests are clas-
sizes of the turf. Songs and poems
have been written about them, and
many pictures painted
Tommy was owned in his halcyon
days by David Tenny Palsfer. Mr..
Palsifer bought Tommy which was by
Rayon diOr-Belle of haywood. as
yearling for $50. He won a big for
tune by backing Tommy when the colt
captured the Brooklyn handicap at a
long price in 1891.
While possessing marvellous speed,
Tommy was ofa surly temperament.
He lolst a stake to Salvador by a
head merely through sulking. and he
was beaten both by Salvador and
Longstreet in matches for the same
reason. Tommy lost by head each
time.
