First Battle in Campaign to Wrest Control of
Nominations From Bosses Is Won by the People
Direct Primary Amend
ment Is Ready for
the Governor
•.dvise the Senate that he believed the
tfirect primary movement the very
worst thing that had ever come before
the Legislature. Moreover, the direct
primary was not what the people
wanted nor yet what they should have.
He pointed out, with real feeling In
his voice, how he and his fellow legis
lators had labored for, 10, these years
to give the people of California the
magnificent intermediary primary law
they then had, yet they were not satis
fied: still they would charge public
servants with being dominated by
bosses and railroads and might even
bring other unpleasant charges against
public "servants who, in fine unselfish
ness, had spent years in building up a
system a benighted proletariat declined
tolappreciate at the value given it by
the statesman' from Los Angeles.
Then it was that Carter unmasked his
last redoubt, declaiming loudly that the
enactment of direct primary laws would
Clve.to the press of . California a boss
ism; over the. politics of California bo
baneful ihat all decent people would be
sorry-. for their rash insistence upon a
departure frcm the tried and entirely
satisfactory railroad boss system.
i.Carter pointed out that under the
p'raslcnf system »\u25a0 candidate went into
th.c field backed" with the solid support
<jf ."his . party Organization, while with
i. .hltect primary system a candidate
'trijist go before the people solely on his
personal political worths It was a tell
ing truth lf.it did not appeal to Carter
«ui< .it had appealed to the people.
Through all his speech stalked the hor
rid ; newspaper' epecter. . The press
leered at- the. Los Angeles man from
behind the corners of- sharp epigrams
and .'angular phrases and- in conclusion
he let JooSe ftno.thcr evident truth when
he feelingly exclaimed: 'I would rather
be doininated.by the .boss of any po
litical party or. organization than be
fcrowbeaton by the. press. Pass this
measure and the press will be the boss
thereafter.** *. -
Curtin admitted that- the people had
Irrtopig-pnce to govern themselves prop
ariy. under proper guidance, he said.
The- .intelligence of all the ages had
prpV'cn the wisdom and worth ofpo
lfnVal. conventions.
\u25a0t. Senator Wolfe was inclined to believe
"indirect primary law would work -well
>ri,'the interest of the rich candidates,
"but,- -he said, -bound by the ple/ige of
his he;would vote for the amend
.m'-frir and If In the next Senate do
.'ei-jerything in his power to secure the
iPnaciTnent of a' direct primary law.
•r'Jn conclusion the President pro tern.
paid a tribute to The Call, to which
paper -he said the credit for the plat
form pledge belonged.
.Senator Anthony's speech contained
rr,nr<» of the meat of the nut than' any
of the finer oratorical efforts. Anthony
Js a- Fquare-toed direct primary adyo
rate. He announced that he was heart
ily tired of fighting "stew bums" and
ex-con %-icts as candidates for office and
manipulators of affairs political. The
direct primary law would make them
Impossible «s dominating political fac
tors. • . -•.•.•••;'
feecator L.eavitt. who has been of in
estimable assistance to Senator Wright,
produced the unanswerable- argument
in.Vfavor.of the. measure when he de
manded on what ground the Senators
could oppose 'a measure they had once
unanimously atJopted-.v-r. *\u25a0'•*;.'
°<;'Senator Savage ' recorded the oiie
negative vote. Senators Rambo and
li*jsh wer<> absent. The Senators vot
ifig.-for the amendment, and who by

The direct- primary amendment will

on at the general election In 1908 in
the form of a- proposition. Under its
terms, if it receives a majority of the
vrttes cast upon iv. the Tjegislature
which meets* in January, 1909, will have
the authority to "enact- direct primary

DEPOSIT LAW TO APPLY
TO FOREIGN CONCERNS
Senate Committee on Insur
ance Reaches Decision
in the Matter
WOLF GIVES CONSENT
Commissioner Agrees to Ex
clude the Domestic
Companies
CALL HEADQTTARTKKS
1007 EIGHTH STREET.
SACRAMEXTO, Feb. 25. — The Senate
committee - on insurance decided this
afternoon to make the proposed law
requiring Insurance, companies to de
posit securities equal to the amount of
their capital stock with the Insurance
Commissioner or have such deposits in
the State under which they are In
corporated certified to and subject to
attachment by California policy-hold
era made applicable only to foreign
corporations. Senator Lynch led in the
protest against having this deposit re
quirement applicable to domestic com
panies, arguing that it would bring
about retaliatory laws in other States
and Injure California insurance cor
porations.
Insurance Commissioner Wolf had
included the deposit requirement in his
revision of the insurance laws incor
porated in two bulky bills introduced
by Senator Leavitt. He offered no ma
terial objection to the protest made by
Lynch, but thought the law should be
made applicable- to at least the foreign
corporations. The committee sus
tained him in this .contention, and
Leavitt's bill was amended accordingly
and ordered put of \ committee with a
favorable report.
Leavltt introduced a bill ..today
which provides for the <- "appraised
policy" In fire insurance on buildings
and real estate. Under the provisions
of the bill the insured will collect
the full face value of a policy in case
of total loss by fire, and will not have
to pay for the cost of appraisal." •
TO AID HARBOR HERE
Bill Introduced Authorizing- Transfer
of $250,000 From School Fuud
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.— At the re
quest of Governor Glllett, Senator Ed
ward I. Wolfe of San Francisco intro
duced today a bill providing for the
transfer of $250,000 . from the school
fund to the general fund, whence it is
to be drawn by the San Francisco hair-,
bor committee for completion of
urgency - repair -and reconstruction
work on harbor -and wharves. \u25a0-\u25a0\u25a0 -\u25a0\u25a0
Governor Gillett, with • the Attorney.
General," has been busily engaged' in
the preparation of the measure for
about ten days. The amount carried
by the bill Is the limit fixed by the
Attorney General, after an -examina
tion of the State's finances. The Gov
ernor's legal advis«r held "that under
the law the amount of State indebted
ness determined the amount ' that
might be taken from the school fund.
The Governor is very much interested
in the improvement of the San Fran
cisco harbor'and '"had ;jhoped'"that - a
larger amount might be .lent.. The
loan, according to the terms of the
.bill, is to bear interest at 4 per "cent,
And to be paid in five equal install
ments, either -from' harbor -receipts or
from the proceeds ." of the bonds, of
which another: 'bill by Senator Wolfe
provides for^ar $2;500,000 issue.

as Obnoxious Bill Is
About to Pass
JOHNSON VERY SLY
Just Misses Putting the
Antirailroad Measure
Through House
CAU, HEADaTTAIITERS,
1007 EIGHTH STREET.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.^ — Grove
Johnson tried to slip an antirailroad
bill through the Assembly today, but
faithful servants of the Southern Pa
cific woke to the danger Just ln;time
and hastily despatched the offending
measure.
The bill at Issue provided that all
railway trains should come to a full
stop at least feet from a draw
bridge and should not go ahead until
the conductor had received definite in
formation that tha draw was closed.
Johnson invariably makes a speech in
behalf of the legislation he offers, but
today when/ the drawbridge bill was
called up he sat silent and let It go
to a. vote without a word. He counted
on catching the friends of the railroad
napping. It was a clever scheme and
for a few minutes it looked as if : it
would succeed. Before Sammy Beckett
recovered from his doze, he had been
recorded as voting aye. Even Lemon
of San Bernardino, who is a railway
conductor by occupation, forgot . the
general orders issued by Jere IBurke
and ran into the open switch.
When half of the roll had been
called the vote stood 22 ayes and
2 noes. , Then somebody flashed a
red lantern. In an instant the faithful
knew that it was time for downbrakes.
The noes piled up rapidly, and only
sleepers and opponents of railway dic
tation voted aye.
When the rollcall ended there was
a rush of programmers to be put right.
Among those who asked that their vote
be changed from aye to no were Beck
ett, Cullen, Thompson and Fratessa of
San Francisco. The gymnastic exhi
bition continued for five minutes. At
\u25a0jts; close the clerk announced 21 ayes
and 29 noes. . .
Hereafter drowsy programmers will
leave orders with the sergeant at arms
that they be called whenever any of
Grove Johnson's bills- come up for
passage.
WOLF DU.WOTIXDS LEGISLATORS
Insurance Commissioner Trie* to Pre-

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.— Insurance
Commissioner JlyronWolf of San Fran
cisco established a; precedent among
State officials today when he protested
before the Senate committee on insur
ance against having his salary in
creased from $3000 to $5000 annually.
. \u25a0 The work accomplished by Wolf after
the fire in San Francisco demonstrated
that he v was ."-very much?; underpaid,
members of the committee 'argued.'
Wolf .said he; did not wish to have' his
salary \ Increased" so \u25a0• much while there
were: so .many other 'demands on' the

mittee. were^persistent, however, and
a compromise was finally effected on

niake the case a cause celebre In the

larly In -view Tof 'i the fact that San
FraaclßCo'a ' City and a com
mittee ,of labor union officials are . on
their way ; to Sacramento to lobby for
the passage of ' the Keane bill, exclud
lns--Japanese from attendance la the
white schools of the State.
Mukai is a servant in the employ of
Dr. C. Rynz^of Mill ; Valley. He is ad
mitted as a pupil j in ;the seventh grade
of the ; grammar./ school. In the sixth
grade of the same school is Mac Have
lock, aged \u25a0 14, .an • orphan under the
guardianship of M. D. Ballantine.
Mukai's course -in ;an American
school had evidently; carried- with it an
admiration for an American girl pupil;
It had taught him the significance ,of
St. Valentine's • day. ; From other
sources he had ;doubtless mastered the
use of words not -current in polite so
ciety, nor ' admitted for ! transport
through the United States mails. He
sent a valentine to Mac Havelock. The
picture was nota love missive, but one
of the vulgar sortj; which low minds
conceive— a woman,; 2 not- in complete
attire. The valentine was only, a pic
torial suggestion, of the motive of the
letter accompanying it. One of the
least offensive phrases in the letter
was an offer of : 25 cents for a kiss.
Horrible enough! ' . .
Fortunately thejletter and the val
entine fell into the hands of the girl's
guardian mother,* Mrs. , Ballentine.- She
was inclined to destroy the evidence
of the misdeed :of the young Japanese,
but Mr. Ballantine found the missive.
He took it to Marshar Staples of Mill
Valley. The -Marshal last Tuesday
communicated- with the postal authori
ties and the- case "was placed in. the
hands of Inspector Coyne. The Japan
ese boy confessed and explained that
"he thought such;things were done on'
St. Valentine's : day." % Principal Hough
of the school was i consulted ' and . said
that while Mukai had never done any
thing disgraceful; before he J had been
considered as: 1 particularly '-'fresh. in
his. conduct aboutlthe; school. ;( lt-was
decided/that prosecution for sending

' AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 25.— 8y a vote of
15 to 11, the Texas Senate discharged
the investigating committee today that
has been in session for several weeks
looking Into , charges against ; United
States; Senator Joseph W. 'Bailey. At
11 .o'clock- the anti-Bailey following
offered a resolution instruclns; ;\ : tho
committee not to bring In a report at
that time, but to send a sub-commltteo
to St. Louis to secure- the 'testimony of
H. ; Clay Pierce and to embody such
evidence in its final -report. Adherents
of Senator Bailey promptly offered a
substitute that the committee be dis
charged at once and that Senator Bai
ley be fully indorsed. \J, After a heated
debate, the substitute resolution was
passed. .
The most sensational feature of the
debate was when' Senator Sentel said
that he would introduce a . resolution
flemandina;; the disbarment of J. D,
Johnson of St. Louis, attorney for the
Waters-Pierce and Standard Oil Com
panies, from practicing in the courts
of the State. Judge Johnson, ho da
clared, had. admitted that he was In a
conspiracy to make a false afildavlt.
-His resolution, Sontfil \u25a0 declared,
would include a. provision ouatinff thfl

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK, Feb. 25. — Suit has been
brought in the Supremo Court of this
city by Miss Mac Wood against United
States Senator Thomas C. Platt and the
case will probably create .a sensation
when It comes to trial.
Miss Wood, who is at Colon, Mich., Is
quoted as saying "I instituted divorce
proceeding's on December 27 last in
New York ' against Senator Platt
through my attorney, Mr. O'Flaherty.
I have named sixteen women as co
respondents. The trial will disclose
orlm«n of various kinds, including rob
bory and perhaps attempted assassina
tion." -
Mlaa Wood attracted a great amount
of newspaper: notice 'at about the time
of Menu tor Platt' s marriage to Mrs.
Lillian T.janaway In October, 1903.
Tha first. Mrs. Platt had been dead
only a few months and the announce
ment that the Senator . would be mar
ri<ni again created a vast amount ot
Koaaip, which was Intensified when it
became known that Miss Wood, who
waa then employed In the Postofflce De
partment in Washington, insisted that
she had reason to believe that she
would become Mrs. Platt and .an
nounced that she would publish, under
the title of "Love Letters of a Boss," a
series of gushing effusions in prose
and poetry addressed to . her by the
Senator.
With sonnets, odes, triolets tnd a lot
of billets doux set in type she came to
this city at about the time of the wed
ding. Frank Platt, son of the Senator,
had an opportunity to see the love let
ters before they were given to the pub
lic and as a result there. was a com
promise and they were not published.
