SOUTH SCORES
FIRST VICTORY
PRESCOTT SPEAKER OF HOUSE
AND LLOYD CHIEF CLERK
WRANGLE OVER PATRONAGE
It l« Finally Agfserf to Allow Twenty
Dollars Per Day for Senators _
and Ten Dollars for
Assemblymen
By a Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2.— The first
Victory of the legislative session was
scored by the Kouthern California
members of the lower house today,
when General Frank C. Prescott of
Redlands was unanimously elected
speaker find Clio Lloyd' chief clerk.
Coming nn It does, when tho south 1h
laying claim ,to a United States sen-
Rtorshlp, this action la regarded as a
most Important victory. It had been
conceded for several days that General
Prescott would be the successful can
didate for speaker, but strong pressure
was brought to bear on the part of the
north to defeat Lloyd and give tho
chief clerkship to Jacob Steppacher of
San. Francisco, lip to a late hour last
night no choice had been made, the
Republican state committee and the
machine men being unable to get to
gether. But through the perseverance
of "Jack" Harrington, the Republican
boss of Sanla Barbara county, the tide
soon, changed In Lloyd's favor and
early In the day it was announced that
Steppacher had withdrawn from the
contest. • .
-The election of General Prescott as
speaker will be a greut advantage to
Southern - California, as it is already
practically assured that he 'will ap
point ' two Los Angeles county inem
■bars, Stanton and Houser, chairmen ot
the'wuj'H and means and judiciary
committees, respectively. Theße are
by'far the most Important legislative
committees, po that tho south will not
go begging when it comes to a ques
tion of. wanting something.
Appointments for South '
■It, wns stated tonight on good au
thority ; that Assemblyman Miguel
Kstuciillo of Riverside and Assembly
man W. ■ A.'i Jnhnstone of San Dlirms
will,. be ; !' appointed-, by,'. Speaker. Tres
cott as chairman of the committee on
Irrigation and roads and highways, re
spectively.. This will be regarded in
'th'ei'light of ■ another victory for the
south v j as these -committees are next
Important: to 'the, judiciary and' ways
and meuns.
,'lnthe senate C. M. Belshaw of An
itlochtwlirprobably be appointed chalr
ma.iv of tho .finance committee, and
William C. Ralston of Melones chair
man of the committee on mining.
.'Until after the organization of the
legislature the senatorial contest stood
in .'the background. It was promptly
resurrected, however, Inter "in the day,
when', the different aspirants began
counting noses. The Flint people claim
enough ! votes- to win on the first bal
lot; while ' the Bard, Oxnard, Knight
and: Fjsk supporters decline to make a
statement regarding their comparative
strength.
) The entrance of Fisk into the fight,
as announced in today's Herald, is re
garded as a boomerang to the Flint
claims, and it is now predicted that the
contest will.be an open one. In this
event It Is possible that some "dark
horse" may land the toga, although
the -probability is that the successful
candidate . will be either Flint or Bard.
At any rate the legislators are divided
on the question, and nothing short of a
hard fought battle will settle it.
, When the two legislative bodies con
vened today, there was a big wrangle
over the question of patronage, j Cau
cuses were held, and after much dis
cussion it was agreed to allow* $20 a
day for senators and $10 for assembly
men. 'The expense will be much
greater , this session, as there are a
number, of- new. members. ' Each sena
tor, will have four or five clerkships
at his disposal. Under each assembly
man there -will be two or three clerk-
Blilpa.
I There arc four members Jn each house
who won't be found on the fence when
balloting* commences January 10 on
the senatoi'Bhlp. ' They represent tho
minority and have determined to give
a complimentary vote to Theodore Hell
of Napa, who was elected to congress
two years ago from the Hecond district
on ; the Democratic ticket. A'caucuu
was held today and the Democratic
incmbers' were unanimous for Bell.
Senatorial Contest
•;The different senatorial aspirants are
making all sorts of clalmii,' but the
question Ih about as fur from a solu
tion as" ever. . Up to midnight the Flint
managerii claimed that fnrty-flve legis
lators are willing to caucus, with about
thirty-live of this number pledged. The"
Hard people, Buy, they have thirty-four
votes . pledged, but it Is not believed
they 'can 1 " mifely count on nioro than
twenty., Knight has about ten votes
and', claims that he bus succeeded in
winning' two Bard votes over tonight.
Oxnard supporters decline to give out
nny figures . and the Fisk people Hay
they will have at least twenty-one votes
on the llrfit ballot, it is not believed,
however, that Flek has more than four
or tlve votes tied up at present.

Pasadena and its vicinity, were blend
ed with such exquisite, beauty, as", to
cull forth, the applause . of the people
who had witnessed tomna menu . for
many years.
From the days of the ancient Greeks*
and Romans, from the days of Ben-
Hur and his famous ehu riot race which
made the finest' horseu in the world
humble at the feet of the steeds of tho
Arab; from the days of chivalry and
glory, when knighthood was in flower
and lovers went forth to'flght for their
ladles, down to the day of the present,
all nations and periods of history were
to be found iv that motley gathering,
fawned upon and caressed by the sway
ing tendrils of the beauties and pride of
Southern California.
As a crowning feature of the parade,
following in the wake of the long lino
of heralds,' page*, charioteers, fairies
and damsels, came the "Yellow l'erll."
And au the expectant spectators caught
a glimptfe of a davsllng figure on horse
back covered with' a cloak of scarlet
and crowned with tho plumed helmet of
a marshal, a shout of welcomo and fel
lowship went up bh they greeted the
little Japaneso with ' congratulations,
while closely following their leader
marched rank after rank of miniature
warriors, ' dressed in a Japo-Ameriean
costume, with the heavy rifle across
each shoulder, a fitting representation
of the sturdy j little fighters of tho
Orient who have succeeded In bringing
down tho fume of the Slav.
In tho afternoon the game* of the
centuries past were played side by side
with tho games ot the present day and
hundreds of .visitors at the park did
not regret their trip. Tho chariot races
railed- forth the greatest enthusiasm,
but were closely pressed for popularity
by the . motorcycle contests and many
other sports.
At 10:30 o'clock the flower-d«cked
vehicles gathered jon . Orange Grova
avenue and the seem- at thirt point wai
one of much gaiety. The occupants of

\ From every direction the ' vehicles

Ing the boom of ait'old-fi^shioncd enn
non whs sounded far down the stieet,
liiimedlately followed by a blast from
a, bugle, and the "'whole procession
smarted forward.
Harry Brlggs, " the herald who lead
the procession, was a typical represen
tative .ot the days of feudalism. He
was attired In garments of. red satin,
richly embroidered ''in gold, and an
nounced the coming of the procession
to the wuiting crowds by blasts from
his bugle. The prancing |niy Bteed
upon' which .he sat . was a ilttlng

blue and gold, lead by Chief Freeman
and assisted by j Captain Austin, fol

place In I tho Hat of vehicles because
of the difficulty •In ■ controlling them.
That they were worthy of the distinc

received , from ■ the J waiting crowds.
There iwere fewer entries in this class
than, had been anticipated, .judging
from • the . number owned by Pastt

were perfect In every respect.
