SACRAMENTO, Oct. 3.-If there is
not a deadlock between the senate and
assembly when they meet tomorrow In
the second day of the extra session 1t
will be because the assembly will re-
cede from it's position as expressed this
afternoon. 1t will be position where
in the senate has adopted Its senate
constitutional amendment No. l, and
sent It to the assembly, against the
assemblys adopting two resolutions,
one providing for a reward of $4,000
for the apprehension of the alleged
dynamiters Of the Los Angeles Times
and another expressing sympathy for
Gen. Otis and the families of the VIC
Tins.
when adjournment was taken tonight
until $3.50 tomorrow morning.
The senate had adopted the amend
ment and 1t was up to the assembly
to do the same. There were not enough
votes on hand when the assembly met
tonight who were favorable to the
measure to insure it's passage, and an
adjournment was taken.
On the other hand the two resolu-
tions regarding the Times and Otis
were before the senate and the finance
committee of that body decided the
senake could not pass them. The
finance committee held that in the
first place the resolution introduced by
Assemfblyman Schmidt provided for a
reward for dynamiters, and there had
not been proved that there had been
any dynamiting. The next point was
that the extra session had been called
for the purpose of passing upon the
constitutional amendment and did not
allow of any appropriations of money
such as Is provided for in the resolu-
ton.
WILL NOT PROVIDE REWARD
The finance committee will submit a
substitute for the two resolutions and
offer condolences to Gen. Otis and the
families of the victims, but will not
provide for a reward.
This, 1t is said, will cause a deadlock
between the two houses, as the assem-
bly, is in temper to turn down the con-
stitutional amendment.
Just what will be done tomorrow Is
problematical, as there will be a strong
feeling in the assembly against the
amendment passed by the senate.
The senate has voted in favor of the
amendment In which are the three
words necessary to take away the un-
certainty found in the amendment as
now presented. The assembly has
worked fairly for this, but 1t was not
sent to that body until after o'clock
tonight. When recess was taken until
p. m. 1t was thought the resolution
could be adopted at once when the
lower body met. The fact that the two
resolutions adopted by the assembly
did not receive favorable consideration
made a change in the feeling of the
assemblymen and many of them re-
manned away from the hall. This
caused a feeling Of uneasiness among
the other members and an adjourn
ment was had until $50 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
If there Is an agreement between the
two houses tomorrow morning and the
amendment is adopted 1t will be up to
the assembly to at once adopt assem-
bly, concurrent resolution No. 4, which
provides for resembling of the old
amendment, or 1t will not be upon
the ballot with the new one.
Both houses had lively times today,
the report of the joint committee which
passed upon the legal phases of the
constitutional amendment coming in
for discussion. This called for adoption
of the measure as presented, unless
there were amendments which touched
upon the uncertainty" of the language
in the original amendment. This was
fought, but the committee report was
finally adopted.
