Democrats Join in Adoption
by Assembly of the. Re
port of Chairman John
READY FOR BUSINESS
CALL HEADQUARTERS. 1007 STH ST.,
\u25a0 SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. — The patron
age list of the Assembly is prac
tically complete at last. Chairman War
ren 11. John of the committee on at
taches submitted his final report today
with the understanding that Grove L.
Johnson has yet to loam the name of
one more patriot whom he must provide
for. In moving the adoption of the re
port Chairman John said that he had
about twenty-seven names to add to
the rolls, but Chairman John was not
counting well today. The actual num
ber was thirty-nine. This raised the
total number of "personal patronage
employes" of the lower house to 314.
In the final dragnet were three por
ters at 93 a day, nine assistant clerks
to committees at $4, two pages at $2.50,
three stenographers at $5, six assistant
engrossing and enrolling clerks at $5,
eight porters at $3 and eight watchmen
at $S. Chairman John's report was
adopteu, the Fix Democrats shouting
'"ayes" as loudly as their Republican
colleagues.
Now all is in readiness for the law
making. Everybody with a pull has
been given some light work, and from
now on many members will lose no op
portunity to conjure with those noble
words, 'retrenchment and . reform. "
Not a few of the statesmen from the
interior counties came here advocating
either 56 or 58 as the limit of patron
age, but not one of them failed to take
his $13. In fact, some of the retrench
ers. if gossip can be believed, ran over
the limit and had either to curtail or
beg Jl or 52 in patronage from col
leagues to keep within the amount
which they deemed "outrageous."
Nothing has been overlooked. Th*
House has iteventeen watchmen, whose
duty will probubly be to »c* that no
one run* nvray with Red Men's Hall.
Tea doorkeeper* will fcrrp vallaat guard
over four doom. One hundred and four
clerks assigned to commissions \u25a0will
make an appearance In relays In order
not to crovid tbe commKtee members
out of their meeting place. Fifteen
porters hope to be able to take care of
the various rooms, provided tbe Janitor
of the ball does bis' usual work.
Twenty-seven assistant rncroMlßC
and enrolling- clerks will occasionally
practice handwriting, and thirty-seven
•erareantM st arms promise not to net
In one another's way. To relieve tbe
monotony and ulve the senslon the nec
eraary social tone there will be twenty
ncven stenographers and seven poftt
mlstrc*«rft. Besides ttirnr nearly sixty
other persons will be miscellaneously
employed.
What all of the attaches will do to
fight off ennui is a question, but it has
been suggested that they organize a
union and limit the hours of labor to
an hour a day. However, this is not
likely to be adopted. Some of the fa
vored children of fortune say that they
do not have to work at aIL
SEXATU STANDS PAT
Caminettl of Amador was the only
Senator to voice a protest against the
additional barnacles fastened to tfee
tide of the g-ondola of patronage float
ed down from the tipper House. Cam
lnetti is a Democrat, however, and his
lone vote of "No" to the extra list of
144 statutory attaches was \u2666without
effect.
The appointment of all these super
numeraries was approved by a resolu
tion Introduced by Senator Leavltt of
Alameda, who does not belong to tha
romantic school of legislation and will
probably be arrayed against the man
from Amador on most of the measures
worth while at the present session.
There are now 162 beneficiaries on
the list of the Senate, most of whom
have already taken oath to pouch their
salaries according to law when tha
official pay day rolls round.

SPECIAL. DISPATCn TO THE CALU
CALL HEADQUARTERS. 1007 STH ST.,
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 10.— The antivacci
nationlsts are In Sacramento with a
bill prepared by Judge E. M. iJibson of
Oakland, which Is to be presented in
the Senate by Senator S. It. Rambo of
Boulder Creek and in the Assembly by
Assemblyman John M. Eshelman of
Berkeley. The measure Is against
compulsory vaccination, being drafted
similarly to the one which. passed both
houses at the last session, but was ve
toed by Governor Pardee. The anti
vaccinationlsts believe that Governor
Gillett will not veto the new bill.
"Governor Pardee \u25a0was prejudiced in
tbe matter because he was a physi
cian," said Samuel Taylor, Secretary of
the Antivacdnatlon L«eague tonight.
"Physician* support vaoclnation be
cause it spreads disease and adds to
their practice, and in opposing the bill
that was passed at the last session Par
dee was simply upholding the views of
a body of professional men who had
helped to elect him. We have the sup
port of all the public school principals
In the State in our contention that the
privilege to attend school should in no
manner be dependent upon the vaccina
tion of children. We are not striving
for the total abolition of vaccination."
The officers of the league here are
distributing literature to assist them in
their propaganda. They have printed
correspondence from different parts of
the world aijd say that they have \ a
much more Influential organization
than they had during the last session. ,

prayer with which he opens the pro
ceedings of the upper House is con
stantly becoming more rococo and in
teresting. Today he asked providence
to be watchful of the Senators and
swerve them from "secret and irrelig
ious affiliations." Ears pricked up
among the Senators at this supplica
tion, as many of them openly flaunt
the emblems of fraternal organizations
while making earthly laws, but most
\u25a0of them were not inclined to take um
bYage at the request of the chaplain.
They simply regarded It as one of his
beatific vagaries and are not inclined
to believe that he , meant to asperse
their affiliations with malice prepense.
Rev. Mr. Darling, In fact, is daily be
coming more popular in the Senate,
even if his ecstacles are at times over
frank and positive.
Lieutenant Governor Porter announced
today that he wished to be en rapport

Senator Mare Anthony of San Fran
cisco Introduced a resolution providing
that the union label be used on all
goods and supplies ordered by the
Senate, The resolution was referred to
the committee on contingent expenses.
The Senate adjourned until 10:30 to
morrow morning, but It Is doubtful if
a quorum will be present then, or if an
other session will be held until Mon
day, when committees will be an
nounced and the organization will be in
shape for real business. '
BELL TAKE.V I.VTO FOLD
Tbe most suggestive action agreed
on by the Republican majority today
was its decision to take Senator C. W.
Dell of Pasadena In out of the weL
Bell applied for admission to tbe cau
cus and it was then decided to freeze
him out on the ground that he was a
member of the convention that nomi
nated B. W. llahn for Senator and was
not eligible to run and defeat him:
The $2S a day patronage agreed upon
by tbe Republicans did not apply to
him. and some unkind things were
passed around about the representa
tions that he was making about
economy.
It was emphasized to trio majority
today, however, that Bell as a hold
over Senator would have things to say
about the next United States Senatorial
candidate and might not be averse to
taking programme orders when that
time comes. His vote in ttiis way
would be a surer asset to the organ
ization that the vote of an unknown i
man, it was pointed out, and Bell waa
eventually given to understand that his
fins would be forgiven and that he
could have ' canonization. Tbe terms
suited him and he joined the majority
on the understanding that be was to
have no . personal = patronage. He still
claims that he Is for economy and is
opposed to the $25 per day figure voted
for, but tbe main thing after all is
that he \u25banow belongs to £ the potential
majority. That, in the end, is consid
ered the surest test •of political effi
ciency at, the present cession.

INGRATITUDE SHOWN
I SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TItK CA LI-
CALL HEADQUARTERS. 1007 STH ST..
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 10. — Since General
Stone, _ chairman *of the Republican
State committee, has returned to San
Francisco .. from the capital, there
has been a. noticeable tendency
among Republican Senators to pass the
buck respecting the responsibility In
looking after Jake Steppacher, major
domo of the party and erstwhile candi
date for chief clerk of the Assembly.
Stone induced Jake to withdraw from
the contest for the chief Assembly
clerkship on representations that he
would be made assistant secretary of
the Senate. Up to this afternoon there
was no suggestion that the Senators
were averse to this arrangement.
Tonight, however, a single Senator
cannot be found to tout Jake's cause,
and a noticeable organization move to
evade responsibility for the change of
heart is apparent.
Some very harsh things about the
organlzation^are being said by friends
of Steppacher, who point out that he
has been the real draught horse of the '
preliminaries attending the present
session and that it is neither reason
able nor just to expect him to kowtow
for such an indifferent billet as an
assistant secretaryship of the Senate.
Jake made the mistake of trusting too
implicitly in Stone in the first place,
they say, but despite this fact there is
no reason why the Senators should
simulate such dignity in looking after
him now that he needs their attention.
Senator Frank Leavitt of Alameda
was quite frank this afternoon in ad
mitting that Jake's chances of landing
a job were problematical and spoke in
defense of the organization in discuss
ing the matter. "I am willing to intro
duce any resolution into the Senate
providing for Steppacher's appoint
ment," he said, "but It will have to be
a resolution concurred in by all the
members." ,
Leavitt did not care to go into the
matter further, but it was quite ap
parent from this admission that Jake's
job would not^be provided for out of
the individual patronage of any of the
Senators.
The Indignation of Jake's friends is
quite understandable. The refusal of
the Senators to Interest themselves di
rectly in his cause shows how cool and
calculating the organization is becom
ing.
.Steppacher declines to discuss/ the
matter in any way and deprecates the
publicity given it. He cannot bo in
duced to say anything against the dis
regarding of his claims by the Sen
ators or to admit that a lack of grati
tude on the part of the organization
has put him in an unenviable position.
Republicans outside the organization
are not so reticent and freely and
warmly denounce the unusual and un
warranted exhibition of political indif
ference. . ' 5-v-l'

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. — The body of a
man, burned beyond recognition with
kerosene, was found yesterday In a
patch of- woods at Guttenberg, N. J.
There is little doubt that he was mur
dered and that he was an Italian. . It
is supposed he was the victim of the
"black hand" society.
, -Coroner Schlenn thinks that the man
was killed elsewhere and his corpse
taken to the spot where It was found
and there burned. ' Near the body stood
a can holding a little kerosene and a
wallet containing some money and a
silver watch and chain. A few feet
away was the arm of an overcoat and a
charred cap and an old vest. The chief
of a band of gypsies looking for some
strayed horses found the body.

EXPERIENCE NECESSARY FOR ')'
POSITIONS IN CONSULATES
WASHINGTON. Jani 10. — One result
of the adoption of the rules for the ap
pointment of consuls after a technical
examination has been to bring forward
a number of applications from young
college mea. and to discourage men of
business experience from attempting to
enter the consular service. It is found
that a lack of experience In worldly
affairs on the part of the young appli
cants tends to reduce their usefulness.
Hereafter consular clerkships will be
given to young men who will be as
signed to duty as assistants to con
suls and consuls, general at the more
important commercial towns, In order
that they may acquire the necessary
experience.

SPECIAL DISPATCH. TO THE CALU
CALL HEADQUARTERS, 1007 STH ST..
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. — Assemblyman
R, H. Jury of San Mateo expects to be
denounced as an enemy of Santa Claus.
Although ready with his denial, he will
not be deterred from introducing an
anti-Christmas tree bill early next
week.
The proposed measure is entitled "An
act to prevent the destruction of young
forest trees." This looks innocent
enough', but n it ever reaches the stat
ute books it will knock out the Christ
mas, tree industry, for it forbids offer
ing for sale any cut tree, -whether it he
pine, cedar, cypress, fir. tamarack or
spruce, or any of the varieties thereof,
when such tree is less than one foot in
diameter at the base or less than one
foot in diameter when measured three
feet or less from the ground."
Assemblyman Jury In discussing his
bill today said:
"I expect to be criticised, but what I
ask. is something that should be done if
we wish to save the trees on our hills.
It will awihllate the Christmas tree
Industry, .but it will not prevent the
making of Christmas trees from
branches. Under the proposed law there
would be no restriction on, cutting
branches, but the destruction of young
trees would be stopped. The penalty
to go with the anti-Christmas tree law
would be a fine of $500 or six months'
imprisonment, or. both."
V Assemblyman jury will also father a
biW to do away with the expense of hir
ing appraisers for estates valued at
$1500 or less. He proposes to grant the
courts permission to accept the affi
davit of administrators as to the value
'fit such estates.

wish to offer to the great army
of home-seekers who are coming
to California through the Los
Angeles gateway to the State, a
small "For Sale" advertisement in
the classified columns of the "Los
Angeles Times** will put yon in
communication with them. If you
have a ranch for sale or to let, or
wish to dispose of or rent a city
or suburban home, a small sum
expended in this way may accom-
plish ths desired result.
