AssembIy Loses Quorum

CALL HEADQUARTERS CHAMBER

MENTO, Feb. 13-Jack Stafford, ser
geant at arms of the assembly. was the
only one identified with that body who
did very much business today. and if
it had not been for his skillful captures
of stray legislators there would have
been no quorum.
The senate has held no Saturday ses-
sions. and the assemblymen have from
the beginning displayed a reluctance
to rise early on the last day of the
week. Efforts were made this morning
to transact business, and it was found
that there was no quorum. The SER
geant at arms was instructed to arrest
all fugitive members.
After an hours search he reappeared
with Nat Coghlan in custody, who had
been tumbled out of bed and forced to
dress in hurry. A deputy appeared a
short time later leading Assem- blyman
Kehoe, and he was followed by another
officer. who had Costar in charge. The
roll was called hurriedly and a bare
quorum developed. Within 20 minutes
there was a roll call on another meas
ure. and again it was found there was
no quorum. After several similar ex-
periences, Perine. speaker pro tempOre,
became disheartened and welcomed a
motion to adjourn.

RATE BILL MEETS
MUCH OPPOSITION
Constitutionality of Proposed
Minimum Charge Attacked
in Committee
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 13.-That majority of
the senate committee on corporations
is decidedly hostile TO the minimum
rate provision of the Stetson admins
tration measure for the regulation of
common carriers was developed today
before Stetson had made a good start
in his argument in advocacy of the
measure on which Governor Gillett and
Attorney General Webb have pinned
their faith.
Senator Miller of Visalia declared
emphatically that he believed that a
regulation which denied the carrier the
right to charge less than the rate fixed
by the railroad commissioners would
be in violation of the constitution and
contrary to the decisions of the SUI
preme court
Miller contended that the best way
to serve the interests of the shipper
and the people was to authorize the
commission to fix maximum rate and
permit the carriers to charge any
thing under such fixed rate, so they
did not discriminate between shippers.
Miller was supported in his contention
by Senators Bill, Burnett, Mccartney
and Wright Walker was with Stet-
son, who insisted that a minimum rate
with an emergency clause would put
a ban upon reductions.
Stetson also vigorously denied that
the constitution placed any inhibition
upon the fixing Of minimum rate by
the commission The committee de-
ferred final action upon the bill until
10 o'clock Monday night.
Caminetti got a favorable report on
his bill to compel railroad companies

Said TO Be an Artist of
Rare Attainments

Nine. Frieda Langendorff. a singer
unknown here. but whom Manager VIII
Greenbaum declares is a musical find,
will begin a series of concerts here
this week. Nine. Langendorff is a
meZzo soprano with a wonderful range
and is said TO have won laurels abroad
where she appeared at the great Wag-
her festival house in Baireuth. the
Royal opera in Dresden and the I'M
perial opera in Prague. Last season
she was engaged for the Metropolitan
opera house to take the Schumann-
Heink roles, but the severe climate in
New York prevented the fulfillment of
her contract.
Nine. Langendorf has been before
the public for seven years. Her range
is so extensive that she can sing con-
tralto roles, such Ortrud in "Lohen-
grin" and Amneris in Aida" or dra-
matte roles such as Elizabeth in Tam
hauser' with equal facility.
With this artist a new pianist will
also make her appearance here. She
is Nine. Flora Karp Heilbron from
Vienna, who is said to be an excep-
tional performer of much promise.
The concerts will be given at Chris
