LITTLE WORK IS DONE
DURING SHORT SESSION
\u25a0President Will Have No
Occasion to Congrat
ulate Congress
MANY BILLS WRECKED
List, of Popular Legislation
Failing to Pass Is
Very Long
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TUE CALL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. — President
Roose\ - elt will have no occasion to con
gratulate Congress on the work of the
session, which will end March 4. as he
did for the work of the session which
ended June SO last. That session, he
paid then, had been productive of "more
substantial work for good" than any
session within his memory. This ses
sion is marked by wrecks of good bills.
The record of popular legislation is
meager. It includes only the Follette-
Esch bill, limiting the hours of continu
ous labor of railway employes.
The list of popular legislation which
will fail of passage is long. The ex
cuse of the Senate and the House is
that this has been a short session and
time has bf-en lacking for more legisla
tion than the passage of appropriation
bills. Despite this the Senate found
time to talk about the Brownsville In
cident for nearly a month.
The following is a list of measures
which have failed:
Publicity of campaign expenditures; Philippine
tariff redaction; citizenship for Porto Rlcaas;
copyright revision law: eight-hour bill; antl-ln-
Junctlon bill; antl child labor bill; removal of
doty on works of art; conserration of public
coal and oU lends.
Measures which have passed or will pasa:
Immigration restriction; limitations of hours of
railway labor: all «ppropristion bills.
Doubtful: £hlp suteldy bill.
FILES MINORITY REPORT
ON RAILROAD RATE LAW
Senator Elkins Presents
Figures on Transporta
tion Charges
V WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.— Senator El
>kins of West Virginia has completed
: and- filed In the Senate his minority re
\ port oa the railroad rate law. It pre
eeats a comprehensive history of the
economic development of American
.; railroads, together with exhaustive ta
•. pies, which tend to show a constantly
:j2errea6ing freight and passenger rate,
; arid, the relation between such rates
an 9 the price of commodities and cost
• of labor. The report says:
;*; * '. The srerAge passeager rate advanced tllgbtly
fropa 1870 t« ISSO. : During the next twenty
' Jour years there waa a decline amounting to
: J7.55 per cent of the average for ISBO. The
\ net f decline from IS7O to 1890 areraged 16.14
J>er rent. The decline In the aTerage rate per
\u25a0 mile per ton, of freight, was 68.71 per cent
during the yearg from IS7O to 1904, the rate
: for the earlier year being about two and one
' b'alf times \u25a0of the latter and the net saving
.to -the shippers averaged 11.09 mills per toa
tal'e.
: '" The cr<st of transportation In ISO 4 waa nearly
$2,000,000,000 lesa than it would haT* been had
the -rates of IS7O still pre Tailed.
.• The passenger business of 1904 exceeded that
of, 1800 by more than 25 per cent, while the
1 freight only vras 13.26 per cent In comparison
sith* the Increase of wages of railroad em
ployes ttom tn average wage of £567.25 In 1900
. to. $630.60 in 1904. The service in 1904 was
co much more efficiently organized that the
labor contributed by the average employe ac
complished 23 per cent more In the movement
' of .. passengers and 74 per cent more In the
triovfecaect of freight than In ISSO. The total
rallwsy capitalization June SO. 1904, was $10,711.
7i'4.i«7S. end this amount is 4,74 per cent less
\u25a0•than the commercial valns of the railways, as'
.estimated by the Census Bureau.
In the face of the great Improvement in
Irallway property since 1890 the relatively ln
elgnlficant Increase of 5.31 per cent in capitallza
'Xlon shows a decided tendency toward careful
methods of financing these properties.
'. "\u25a0" The figure* Fhow that American railways carry
frrtg.tt for rates that average but 07.14 per
c«n't of the average charged la France, 00.30
•" per cent of that in Germany, C 0.32 per cent
. fff that in Austria. 61.29 per cent of that in
Hungary, about 50 per cent of that In Italy
•nd- about 00 per cent of that In European
Busela.. - Since IS3O . American rates have de
, rllned 19.15 per cent, French rates 13.fJ4 per
cent, German rates 8.9 per cent. Austrian rates
tt.TiS per cent and Hungarian rates 10.14 per
cent.
. ." As to the Increase in equipment, the
report 6ays that during the last four
teen years the Increase in the number ;
' of cars and locomotives has been rela
. lively much -greater than the mileage
increase. Besides both cars and loco
• motives are now much larger than for
merly. :

fort to save her sweetheart, Harry
Johnson. Mac Burns confessed to shoot-
Ing Dennis Dunford In her house last

Today the officers found an eye witness

She probably will be released as coon

PROMINENT men will join the army with hoe, shovel and
broom next Sunday to make San Francisco, a spotless town.
Ladies who have so generously volunteered their services to feed
the multitude of- workers are perfecting- plans for cleaning day.
Prominent Men to Aid in
Cleaning the Streets
People of All Stations Will Rub Shoulders
Next Sunday to Secure Spotless Town
The committee of ten is. not going to'be merely a supervisorial
body on cleaning-up day. "Billy" Healy has declared that he will be
chairman of the committee and also a man' with a hoe. Secretary
Floyd will chase a broom around for a few 'hours, and if George
Renner doesn't drive a street sweeper he will have to buy soda
water for the crowd.
Carey Friedlander will put on rubbers and clean up California
street, from the Safe Deposit building to the exchange entrance, and
George W. Elder will get busy, even if he has to wear an apron and
act as dishwasher in the coffee plants.*'
If the general committee can only get
Ned Greenway to drive a dirt wagon
and Joe Tobin to ride on a truck, demo
cratic spirit will be instilled in every
man, woman and child who has become
; curious to know how the "day of days"
will prove as an advertisement of the
i enterprise of the city.
But Joking aside, the men of the city
are really going to work with a will.
Some of the big guns of finance will be
shoulder to shoulder with the patriotic
workman and the sight will be one
that will give ocular demonstration to
the many-times repeated story that
"San Francisco is the most democratic
city in the world; every. man is a good
fellow there and there is no class dis
tinction when the city gets down to
performing a public service. All men
are equals in San. Francisco."
FILLUORE HAS WORKERS
The Flllmore-street Improvement
Club will look after its street and
see that it is in good order. The Por
trero Association has blocked out ' the
district with a view to making the gen
eral cleaning up work a preliminary
to permanent improvement of that Bec
tion. The Mission people are working
tooth and nail to make the day a suc
cess, and North Beach, the banner
building district, la going to see that
sidewalks and streets are cleared of
debris.
North Beach residents complain that
while the section has done a vast
amount of work rebuilding, there are
scattering lot owners who have failed
to put In sidewalks, even of a tempo
rary nature, and that this is seriously
Interfering with the business of the
district. This al«o prevents tenants
from coming and going with comfort
between newly finished flats and apart
ments. President Duff ey of the Board
of Public Works will probably be asked
to look into this matter, and it is re
ported by several of the energetic prop
erty owners of the district that unless
delinquent lot owners conforni to the
city ordinances regarding sidewalks
counsel will be secured and a vig
orous campaign of prosecution will fol
ARCHBISHOP OF PARIS
TAKES FIRM POSITION
Will Not Submit to New
Proposals of French
Government
PARIS, Feb. 24. — The clerical organs
are united in declaring that Cardinal
Richard, Archbishop of Paris, will riot
submit to the new proposal- of the Gov
ernment regarding church leases and
their despatches from Rome categori
cally insist that Pope Pius Is resolved
to maintain integrally the original text
offered by the French episcopate and
to refuse even to discuss the Govern
ment's exceptions relative to ; the lia
bility of parish priests for the keeping
up of churches and the exclusion of
foreign priests or members of the dis
solved orders as parties to contracts.
Whether these inspired statements are
only part of the diplomatic game re
mains to be seen.
Premier •Clemenceau now admits
frankly that as far as he is concerned
he never expected the church to accept
the conditions as to leases, but he says
that Minister of Education Briand did
and that the Cabinet unanimously ac
corded him a chance to conclude ! the
negotiations upon the terms stated.
. "The future will show which is right;
whether he is the victim of an illusion
or I am mistaken," the Premier added.
"If no agreement is reached, what
will happen?" Premier Clemenceau was
asked.
"Nothing very terrible," he replied.
"I think we will return to the solution
previously contemplated. The churches
will remain open. That goes without
saying, " and, it is. conceded, without
lease to the clergy, and the State De
partment or commune, , as the case may
be, . will bear the cost of keeping up
repairs to a church out of the funds of
the church Itself. But rest assured the
Government will go no further in the
matter of concessions. The Republican
majority in the Chamber of Deputies
would not indorse it, nor would any
member of the Cabinet, nor even M.
Briand, favor yielding more."

low. Other districts of the city are
contemplating raising funds for legal
services to punish offenders against
public service. . Some of the rich men
of the sections that make complaint
are the greatest offenders.
N ' MUCH ENTHUSIASM }|||§1
Chairman A. W. Scott Jr. said that
the week was going to bring forth some
astonishing results. Instead of > the
community losing enthusiasm on ac
count of the postponement of cleaning
up day, it had gathered force each hour
and even i the school children were
writing letters to the committee of
fering their services as messengers or
In whatsoever capacity they might
serve. Chairman Scott suggests that
the children in the various districts
organize by blocks and see which block
can show the cleanest sidewalks. The
wagons will take care of the middle
of the streets, but the sidewalks, front
yards of homes and all passageways
should be given a good sweeping.
Waste paper should be accumulated In
the oenter of the streets and burned.
Darlna Parlor, Native Daughters,
urges the school children to make a
rule to shame any one who throws dirt
upon the streets. After the city is
cleaned no one should sweep rubbish
from home or store into the streets.
The Police Department will be re
quested to reprimand persons who vio
late the city ordinance regarding
sweepings, and the Board of Health is
going to begin an active campaign
against those who menace public
health by neglecting to comply with
the rules governing the health of the
city.
The ladies' committees and the gen
eral committee will hold meetings to
day, and It must be remembered that
early donations of coffee and sugar and
promises of food are necessary. The
ladies must know on what they will
have to depend to feed the big army of
cleaners. Send word to Mrs. Palache,
900 Eddy streeti that she may'arrange
to receive donations and record them
that computation of the amount of food
and coffee that will be supplied may be
•made at a hear date.

similar privileges at Portland, j where
Harriman controls the situation. He
wants his new line down the north
bank of the Columbia.
This settlement precedes another

wisdom, and foolishness with which it
blennally buries itself.
Up to date the record for the Intro
duction of. bills has never been in dan
ger, and nothing is feared from the day
about to dawn. The total for both
houses is short of 2000. which is con-
Blderably. below the mark set. two yeara
ago. ; •• ' : .
In round numbers 980 bills have been
Introduced in the Assembly. Many of
these are In a cataleptic state in com
mittee, [ but ,363 \ have been passed anrf
b*en sent to the Senate, and perhaps a
hilndred .will yet ; reach the stage of
final consideration.
Wyatt of Salinas Heads the list of bill
introducers. Ninety-two measures bear
his name, but nearly all of these come
f ro.m : the Code Commission and were
turned over to him for the reason that
he Is chairman of the -committee of re
vision and reform of laws.
The medal properly belongs to Grove
Johnson, for- he has. fathered eighty
three, bills dealing; with, a .multiplicity
of suggestions. , Other notable Indus
trious lawtlnkers are Drew of Fresno,
who has presented fifty-seven bills,
more than half of them - dealing with
Insurance, and Transue of Los Angeles,
who • has stood |j sponsor for thirty-two.
\u25a0 : Five members have not introduoed a
single bill. These- statesmen of dis
tinction are \u25a0 Patrick J. Boyle, John A.
Cullen, John McKeon, DanlelJ. Toomey
and John' Wesßling, all from San Fran
cisco. McKeon, "however, has made a
record for himself In another way. He
has invariably shunned the programme
and has nearly always voted right.
Wessllng has been here, there and
everywhere. He came here as the only
representative of the Independence
League, broke Into the Republican cau
cus, took a seat at the patronage table
before \ the cover was laid, and has
since been counted as a man the or

of which number Just two have passed

dead or- struggling for life In com
mittee. Other members * of the San

important of the' bills would be dis
cussed by the newspapers and vicious
legislation thoroughly exploited. .

popular belief that members of the Leg
