Prohibitionists Join With Sa-
loon Men in Opposition
to Measure
Probably Will Be Amended
Before Going Out of

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 1.-THE consideration OF
Assemblyman Wyllie's local option bill
before joint committee this afternoon
developed an unexpected situation-the
prohibitionists of Los Angeles county
joined with the saloon interests in OPP
posing the bill. The saloon men at
tackled the measure because they con-
sidered 1t the entering wedge Of pro-
hibition, while the prohibitionists op-
posed it because they deemed 1t COM
promise with wrong.
Frank Dietrich, local saloon man,
opened the discussion by describing the
which he branded a detriment to all
the industries of the state.
Colonel Herbert l. Choynski. attor-
ney for the retail liquor dealers, fol-
lowed by insisting that prohibition is
subsersive of the best interests He
asserted that prohibition has been a
mistake and added that local option is
prohibition. He quoted government
statistics showing that drunkenness
and crime are greater in prohibition
states than in license states. W. H.
IlelcIier VI oacrdinehlo aiso oppoSeu
the bill.
DR.. E. S. Chapman made a vigorous
speech before the Legislators in be-
half of the bill and opposing the view
of Choynski DR.. r. F. Burnham also
argued that the people should be per-
mitted to vote on whether or not they
should have saloons. Assemblyman
Griffiths read a letter from Secretary
Hall of the Los Angeles county pro-
hibition headquarters, opposing local
option as the buffer standing between
the legalized liquor traffic and its real
enemies" and "a compromise with
wrong"
Before reporting the bill out of COM
mittee it is the intention to amend it
by exempting breweries, wineries and
distilleries, and making a township or
a precinct unit in acting under the
proposed law

Pass Sulphur Resolution

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 2.-For the benefit of the
dried fruit industry of California both
houses of the Legislature today rushed
through joint resolution asking the
Legislators of other states not to pass
any laws prohibiting the sulphuring
of fruit.
This resolution was introduced yes
terday by Senator Wolfe at the request
of the California Fruit Growers asso-
citation, the state board of trade. the
California Dried Fruit association and
the California Promotion committee
Owing to its important bearing upon
one of the greatest industries of the
state it was passed unanimously undcs
suspension of the rules.
The resolution recites that under the
national pure food law the amount of
sulphur dioxide in dried fruit was i'm
tied to thirty-five one-thousandths of 1
per cent, a percentage which made it
impossible for the growers and ship
pers of dried fruit to produce a sound
and merchantable product 1t points
out that sulphured peaches, pears, april
cots and applies have been prepared
without injury to the product or the
consumer and that scientists have de-
clared sulphuring to be noninjurious
and heaIthful

Lawyers Oppose Scheme

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE. BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 2.-The assembly judi
ciary committee today evolved a
scheme of placing the quietus on the
Commonwealth club bills which were
drafted with a view TO simplifying the
present criminal procedure.
The effort to minimize the chances
of rich criminals escaping justice by
urging endless technicalities did not
appeal to some of the lawyers on the
judiciary committee of the lower house
and today they finally hit upon the
scheme of asking the assembly to name
holdover committee to work on the
Commonwealth club bills during the
legislative recess. BY such action the
bills would be disposed of for this ses-
sion and the holdover committee might
see fit to emaseulate the scheme so
that the rich criminals would not be
robbed of all their technical defenses.
Monday the San Francisco bar asso-
citation will appear in behalf of its
bills

Special Dispaich to The Call

CALL HEADQUARTERS CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb ALI railroad iegisla-
ton is at a standstill because Peter F..
Dunno. newly elected chief counsel Of
the Southern Pacific, can not conven-
iently appear before the joint com
rnittees of the legislature to argue
against the railroad commission bill
until Tuesday evening. This condition
of affairs exists in spite OF the TACT
that the committees this evening rs
tened to representatives OF the rail-
roads for several hours, during which
they argued against reciprocal de-
murrage clause. George f. Richardson,
superintendent of transportation Tor
the Southern Pacific; w. X. Scott, as
sistant general manager OF the SOUTH
ern Pacific, and E. E. Mote, manager
of the Pacific car service bureau au-
dressed the committee.
The entire evening was occupied by
the railroadmen in discussing recipro-
cal demurrage, and they all claimed
that 1t would be unfair to the trans
portation companies. although they
thought it would be proper for the
railroads to have the right to charge
shippers for any delay in unloading
cars. Senator Miller, who has bill
before the senate providing for reclpro-
cal demurrage asked many questions
which were embarrassing to the rail
road representatives
On the suggestion OF Jere Burke,
Herrin's lieutenant, the committee
finally adjourned until next Tuesday
evening, when Dunno will discuss the
general provisions of the administra-
ton bill.

Searching All Night

There was considerable excite
ment in Washburn Wednesday
morning when two guards from the
penitentiary at Bismarck arrived
in this city with four blood hounds
in search of the two prisoners who
escaped Monday noon. They had
followed the river north and from
here Sheriff Beck and City Mar
shal johnson and about ten more
joined them. They went to the
Otto Peterson place south of
sWashburn in the woods and locat-
ed one man about one O'Clock
Thursday morning. A glimpse
was seen of the other one but it
was too dark to follow and the
blood hounds were all tired out
and would not work longer. They
we're given a rest until morning
while some stayed in the woods
but no further trace has been
found of him. He had on his
prison clothes but had rustled a
pair of overalls which he had also
donned. 1t is thought that he will
be found TODAY.

 New York, Oct. 22.-Thomas Power O'Connor. Irish Nationalist member of Parliament, arrived here today on the Lusitania and was met by big reS ception committee MT O'Connor is here for a three weeks campaign to raise funds for. the Irish Nationalist party to defray expenses in the event of being elected in Ireland.
 'It is expected that the contribu- tions this year will be larger than ev- CT before," he said. ''The outlook for Irish success was never brighter. It is difficult to forecast the result of the budget fight. I think the House of Lords will accept it but the situa- tion changes daily and no one can forecast the result certainly.
 eff the budget is rejected I am sure the Irish party will so increase it's membership in parliament that it will hold the balance of power. The Liber- asl will undoubtedly win if an election is held by a small majority in parlia- ment, giving the Irish Nationahsts, as distinguished from other members of the Irish party. the whip hand.
 ''The vote on the budget will prob ably be taken the second week in vote, but I will be back in time to take part in the general election in case the budget is defeated. The budget is a great reform program and it's essential provisions must eventu- ally be enacted into law. Home rule for Ireland is nearer than it ever was before.
 l MT. O'Connor will remain in New York a few days and then go on a lecture tour. The leaders of the Sinr Fein league of America are opposed to his campaign and are imploring the Irish here not to contribute. The lea gue declared that the Irish parlia. mentary party has no intention of be. | ing a home rule party and that the money will be used for the purpose of dominating. by questionable method the conventions in Ireland which nom. late candidates for parliament"
