VOL. XXXII, NO. 96. SOUTH MAY LOSE SENATORIAL HONOR CANDIDACY OF FISK SHOWS INCREASING STRENGTH SPECULATION AS TO OUTCOME Flint and Bard Are In the Lead, but — asm Francisco Postmaster May Prove to Be a Dark By a Staff Correspondent ' SACRAMENTO, Jan. 4.— After nil the fretting and achemlng of the last few months Southern California will probably lose the senatorial toga, un less the legislators from that end of the «itate get together and agree upon some effective plan to whip the north Into line. Up to Sunday night there Beemed to be no question that a south ern man would secure the honor. Since then there has been a decided change brought about by the announcement that Arthur Flsk of San Francisco had become a candidate. At first Mr. Flsk said he was a "re ceptive" candidate, but now he figures that his chances are as good as any of the rest. His strength has been grow ing, steadily and it is ( said that among Bomo ' of those who will ' vote to send him to Washington are men who have already announced their intention of Supporting Frank P. Flint. George Knight is making a desperate effort to figure. in the contest but his case is^ regarded as hopeless. He carr.c to s Sacramento with about ten votes andit is not thought he will be able to increase this support suftciently to land. As for Oxnard he hasn't more than four or five votes promised if that..' Members of both houses of the legislature are holding that there are but three candidates In the race, Flint, Bard and Flsk. Flint and Hard, of course, are in the lead by long odds, but Fisk is growing "in favor each day. He has enlisted the Ju'ppoit of Senators Edward I. Wolfe, president pi j tern o.' the senate, nnd Charles M. Shortrldge, who claim that he will receive between fifteen anil twenty votes on the first ballot. The Flint and 'Bf.rrt people cannot' safely rely on'more than thirty-two or thirty four voltes'' eu^ii! . \. ". ,f V: JOHN T. . PARKKRSON.

OUTLOOK POOR FOR STATEHOOD BILL SENATE BEGINS DISCUSSION OF THE MEASURE LITTLE PROGRESS IS LIKELY Foraker Declares It Can Never Go Through In Present Form and Introduces Important Amendment Maurice Splain Special to Tin. Ji. ml'l. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.— The state hood bill wns given precedence today over the mire food bill In the senate and consideration of it begun forthwith, but it does not appear the chances of the bill passing at this session of con gress have improved. In fact, Sena.' tor Foraker of Ohio, who Introduced an important amendment to the bill, declared this afternoon it could never go through In its proper form. The Foraker amendment provides that the provisions of the bill, so far as they relate to New Mexico and Arizona, shall not become effective un til they shall have been approved by a separate majority vote of the people of each of those territories. Should this amendment prevail It would put It In the power of Arizona to reject the pro posed statehood scheme so far as It re lates to that territory, whatever a ma jority of the people of New Mexico might do. r • - ' Senator Foraker declared It was an outrage to attempt to force statehood on a territory that did not want It. He said he would do his best to secure the incorporation of his amendment In the bill, and If it was rejected he would fight the bill to a finish. Representative Needham today Intro duced a bill appropriating $100,000 for a public building at Santa Cruz.

It is proposed that congress create a new department of the government to exist in connection with the department of commerce and labor, to be known as "The National Board of Corporations." This board shall consist of five persons, four to be nominated by the president, for the terms of four years each at salaries of $5000 annually, and the fifth member shall be the secretary of the department of commerce and labor. Authority far greater than that en- Joyed by the department now entrusted With the regulation of so-called trusts and monopolies , will be given to ,the national board of corporations, if Sena tor. Hepburn's bill becomes a law. Th<} bill provides that the board shall have the power to compel the production of all books or documents or the attend ance of witnesses necessary to the In vestigation of any question affecting the right of a corporation to engage in business under provision of this act. Senator Newlands today introduced in the senate a joint resolution provid ing for a commission with Instructions to frame and report to congress i\ na tional Incorporation act for the con struction and consolidation of rail roads employed in Interstate commerce. The action proposed by. the resolution, the senator says, has nothing what ever to do with the recent suggestion of Commissioner Garfleld, which he said simply covered the question of li censes to manufacturing corporations engaged in Interstate commerce. Its purpose, he said, is to unify and sim plify the railroad syste s of the coun try; to place such system under nation al control, to make the taxes fixed and certain, and to make dividends certain, so that hereafter any Increase of bud ness may tend mathematically either to * betterment of the roads or an In crease in wngeH or a ■ilminutlon in The senate at 4:15 p. in. adjourned aut of ■ resjieot to. the tuc-inory of Rep resentative Maliui cy of Illinois.
