caused a good deal of alarm owing to the
nature of the structure. Xurses, doctor*

ed with zeal turning the hose on thf
Humes and tearing down the partition or
wall that had taken tire. In the mean
time an alarm 'was turned In, but before
the engines arrived the Ore had been mis

been due to a defective flue and the dam
age Is estimated at about $500. The

At a caucus of the Los Angeles delega
tion this afternoon J. A. Gray, president
of the local County Council, was chosen
or. the rtrst ballot as nominee for presi
dent of the federation.
Following the reading of the resolution
a tumult occurred on the floor of the con
vention. A rapid motion to adopt was
made and the chair declared the motion
carried. A division was then announced
and a roll call was asked for by Walter
MacArlhur of San Francisco. The vote
finally announced was 7815 for and S083
against tho resolution.
After the Schmitz resolution was dis
posed of at the afternoon session numer
ous other resolutions were considered by
the convention.
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 6.— In convention
assembled tho State Federation of Labor
this afternoon refused to pass a resolu
tion indorsing Eugene E, Schmitz, Mayor
of San Francisco, as "Labor's beloved
representative." The failure of the reso
lution to pas3 occasioned a stormy scene
In the convention, and a roll call of the
delegates was necessary before the ques
tion was decided.
When the convention was called to or
der for the afternoon session every dele
gate was in his seat and the considera
tion of resolutions was immediately taken
up. Resolution No. 20, introduced by T.
J. White, Stablemen's Union No. S7t>0 of
San Francisco, was as follows:
That the State Federation of Labor, in con
vention assembled at i.os Angeles January 5,
1903, k'IhIs greetincs to Hon. K. K. t-chmitz,
llayor of Han Francisco, and labor's beloved
representative, and sends Rreetinga to him
with Its mcKt cordial and its most sincere good
wishes for the new year ana (or his continued
success as the upholder of "equal rights to all
and special privjleees to none.'' His honest
and upright admtnistration of the political af
fairs of San Francisco and Jtst treatment of
labor have endeared him to us as the true, type
of ideal American manhood and a worthy rep
tesentative of the conservative American wage

Whatever may be his political prefer

work for the ratification of the amend
ments for the reason that he was chair
man of the Los Angeles charter revision
committee which framed the amend
ment?. It is not expected that there will
be any strenuous opposition to their
ratification, fcr the reason that despite
the political objection, the new provisions
will give I»s Angeles a so much better

lature are in doubt as to whether it is
desirable to place fo much power In the
bands of Mayor Snyder, who is a Demo
crat and who would be expected to rill
the places at his disposal with members
of his own party. The amendments also
carry with them a civil service feature
whk-h might enable the Democratic ap
pointments of Mayor Snyder to retain
office practically for life.
Senator Fred A. Smith of Los Angeles
received from that city to-day cerUlied
copies of the charter amendments which
were adopted there at the last municipal
elec'Jon. Accompanying them was a cer
tified statement of the result of that elec
tion. The Legislature will be asked to
ratify the«e charter amendments, the ef
fect of which will be to make many
radical changes in the form of govern
ment In vogue in the metropolis of the
routh. The most important feature of the
new charter provisions Is that giving
the Mayor almost unlimited power In the
appointment of public boards and com
missions.

Senator Shortridge Bald:

the Merchants' Credit Association of San

neary all the wholesale houses of San

Senator E. I. Wolfe of San Francisco

an appropriation of $200,000 for a new nor

$150,000 is for the building and $50,000 for

"Will you make references to any spe

Upon motion of Senator Wolfe the re
quest was granted. Now tho legislators
are wondering what Shortridge will say.
In an interview later he said: "My pur
pose is to submit some thoughts to the
Senators and Assemblymen with refer
ence to issues now agitating the public
mind."
"To what have you particular refer
ence?" Senator Shortridge was asked.
"More especially to the intended caucus

deaf mutes. He wants lip culture and ar

has his colored man Friday with him and
the latter follows the Uistinguishod Rep
resentative from Santa Clara County like
a shadow. Shortridge has a lot of bills to
introduce at this session. The most im
portant, in his opinion, is a constitutional
amendment which he will introduce to
build a railroad to the Sempervirens tract
of land recently purchased by the State
for $250,000. The prospective road is to
run through Santa Clara, San Mateo and
Santa Cruz counties. Shortridge believes
the purchase of this valuable land "was a
good one, but, in order that the people of

Senator Shortridce will also introduce
a bill in the interest of the nchool chil

Superintendent Kirk. He wants all school
books printed at the State printing of

cost to them. To do this, he says, it will
be necessary to apply the library fund in
country districts, and in the cities a small
tax will bo necessary. He says he is
studying out the matter, in order to see
if it can be accomplished legally. He
also wants an appropriation for Ag
news Insane Asylum, in order to erect
another cottage for convalescing inmates
and for erecting a water tower, which
will do away with the tanks on top of
the various buildings. *

FOR LONGER LEASES.
Ser.alor Krod M. Smith of Los Angeles
will Introduce a bill early in the session
the purpose of which Is to encourage
Kastrrn people to invest" in California
property. The bill will provide for the
extension of the time limit on leases to
realty. Under the law now it is impossi
ble to secure a binding lease for more
than twenty yrars. Senator Smith's bill
will. If It become a la-sv. make it legal for
any owner of realty to lease his property
lor ninety-nine years, and will give ths
person leasing the same ample protection
*!.¦* against other claimants.
A kindred measure, (Wi^ned to benefit
t5ose who are cfcgaged in the business of
celling real estate, v/ill be introduced by
Assemblyman Stanton. It will provide an
amendment to that section of the code
governing contracts. The effect of it will
be to give real estate agents a legal claim
upon those whom they serve, and make
it possible for them to go lr.to the courts
if necessary to collect their commissions.
Assemblyman Brown of San Mateo
County says he has a bill which will
make it a misdemeanor for any person to
offer for sale any realty unless he has
l'ecn given full authority in writing by
tli<-' owner of the property to make such
i-alf. The object of the bill !s to prevent
wildcat operations in the realty market
and to prevent unscrupulous agents from
offering anything for sale, whether they
iiave the authority or not.
OPPOSITION FOR LAST.
There is a prospect of a division in the
Senate over the confirmation of General
<"fcarles F. A. Last as commander of the
Kirst Brij?ade, National Guard of Cali

tion for several jreara, but under the law
he is really not eligible. His reappoint
:nmt by Governor Gage over a number
«.f other aspirants to the position was
u.uch of a surprise, and a strong-effort is
heinx made to prevent a confirmation by
tli«j Senate. General Last has been here
