SACRAMENTO, March 4. — Spirited
£--bat- attended the defeat in'th^Sen-
Me today of the bill introduced by
feiller of Visalia providing for the im
bosition of fines on railroad*' for. re
fusing to supply cars to shippers.
The bill was a facsimile of the fa
miliar Texas car law, which ha« been
In operation for twelve years. It was
jntroduced by Miller! at the request
pf Bakersfield oil men. who have been
trippled by the Southern Pacific and
cither railroads leagued with the
Rockefeller Interests, and also at the
request of citrus growers and orchard
ists, who have been complaining of
fruit rotting on the ground because of
the shortage of cars. Miller pointed
out that Oregon was to pass a similar
(aw and that the position of California
relative to that State and Texas made
the passage of the bill .very desirable
legislation.
Wolfe of San Francisco thought the
bill unconstitutional, because it sought
to penalize a- railroad for something
fciiic'.i it might not be able to do. He
referred to the great congestion of
freight throughout California and said
th* popular disposition was to over
rritlclze the railroads.
Csmlnettt of Amador sprang into the
lists and enlivened thingrs with a long
indictment against the railroads. He
road from a report of Commissioner
Df Corporations Garfield on the dis
criminations practiced by the railroads
In California, and quoted from a mes
fcage of Governor Pardee and testimony
taken before the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the deviations in rates
to oil men.

visions for- the popular nomination of
; candidates for the United States Sen
i ate. is not a direct primary measure.
i After the provision for the nomination
of Senators the Stetson bill Is an ag
gravated form of the Illinois compro
mise, which the Illinois friends of
direct primary legislation are now en
deavoring to have their legislature
repeal after one unsatisfactory trial
of it. The Call, In rommon with all
students of direct primary legislation
who have studied such systems at first
hand and from the view of their prac
tical operation, has consistently op
posed the adoption of the Illinois sys
tem by California. That the political
organizations do not approve of it
either proves absolutely nothing from
the direct primary reformers' stand
point. It Is delegate convention law
so complicated that It Is satisfactory
to no one and without accomplishing
the object of a direct primary it mul
tiplies the expense of the Intermediary
primaries, which It complicates.
But the Stetson bill cannot, in fair
ness to the Illinois law, be compared
with that enactment, because Hie Illi
nois' law can be uniform in Its appli
cation and the proposed Stetson law
cannot be uniform save In Its applica
tion u> the nomination of candidates
for-the United States Senate.
This lack of uniformity can be over
come /only by making the present in
termediary I»w compulsory and man
datory in all preclT>ctB. The provisions
of the Stetson bill touching the opera
tion of the proposed law are:
"Sec. 39. This law shall not be^ap
plicable as to localities or offlcers
where the conventions making nomina
tions shall be composed of delegates
less than two-thirds of whom are se
lected under the primary election law
of this State."
That provision, eliminates the State
ticket, the Congressional ticket with
one exception, county tickets with les3
than one dozen exceptions • and a cor
responding number of municipal 'tick
et* from the. operation of the proposed
enactment.
After the Senatorial provision, which
is pure direct primary, the bright par ;
ticular feature of the measure Is a
candidate's ballot, to voters at the pri
mary election in connection with a
delegate's ticket- In those localities
where the could apply the elector
may express his choice as to candi
dates and. then turn his choice over to
delegates, whw are charged wi£h the
duty of voting for the nomination of
those candidates so long as their names
may remain before the conventions.
By engrafting the Texas elimination
scheme, the bill provides that after
each ballot the name of the candidate
receiving the least number of votes
shall foe dropped, until there is ond
candidate with a majority of all the
delegate' votes, who shall be -declared
the nominee of his party for the des
ignated office. In fine it is but % com
plication of the delegate system the
people of California are demanding
that they *be< freed from. * \u25a0
Governor Giilett signed today the
bill authorizing t the sale of the Lob

i BACRAMENTO, March 4. — Eshleman's
antlracetrack bill, was put Into ..the
legislative boneyard _ this morning by
a Senate vote of 23 to 11.
Bell of, Los Angeles, having been told
that the committee on public morals,
the chairman .of which la Irish of
Downievllle, intended to refuse to act*
on the bill, Introduced a resolution
asking that It be reported out.
Bell declared that Leavltt of Ala
rnedn, a concessionaire of Emeryville,
had told him that it would be useless
to expect any- consideration of tha bill
at the hands of the committee..; - ,
"lie told me that I might 'introduce
this resolution, but that nothing, would
corns of It," declared Bell. "There la
another' thing about this bill that I
would dike to call the; attention of the
Senate to. Resolutions- were -adopted
at the last Republican convention held
in Los Angeles denouncing racetrack
gambling and instructing the. members
elected to this body from that county,
to lend their support to securing legls
; lation prohibiting poolselling and book
making. Unless the Republican mem
bers of the Los Angeles delegation are
determined to repudiate their party
pledges, they will be bound to support
this bill and this resolution."
Wolfe of San • Francisco rose- to a
point of order and declared that Bell
should confine himself to discussing
the resolutions he ..had submitted
rather than the merits of tire Eahle
man bill. Bell agreed that "the dls
'. tinguiBhed and academic president pro
tern." might be right In his point, of
order, but finished what he had v . to say
about the "pernicious Influence of rac
ing." .
When the vote that defeated the
; resolution calling- the bill from com
mittee., was taken, the roll call showed
that the Los Angeles Republicans were
Indifferent to the party pledges referred
to by Bell. Savage was the only vet
eran programmer of the bunch that
voted "aye." McCartney thoughtfully
absented himself during the roll call.

\u25baTells Interstate Board That
He Will Obey/ All
Regulations
WASHINGTON, March 4.— E. H. Har
rlman, In a" heart-to-heart talk with the
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, told them that he and
John D. Rockefeller and the other capi
talists controlling a large group of 'the
railroads : of America wanted to be
"good." He said, lii effecC that* they
had decided to. abandon the "public be
damned'- pollcey: with which they have
beenicredited for years, and .wanted "to
work In the'lnereats of the public and
obey all Government regulations.
Every : member of. the commission was
present" at; today's conference except
former -Senator. Cockrell, who is idown
South recuperating; from an attack of
illness. The Commissioners were greatly
impressed .with' - Harriman's' sincerity
and promised, that they would; give, his
roads .' fair treatment; and., would ', wel-.
come" any '\u25a0assistance" that" he and; his
associates would glvein the carrying
outof the new rate law.--' • - ;
' The i commission regards Harriman's
declarations as indicating. a complete
change; In policy. In"; fact,^ his entire
course since coming to Washington has
Indicated: that he 'wanted to /get into
touch with the powers that be and that
the recent Investigation at New York
into, the affairs of the Union Pacific,
Southern \ Pacific. Baltlmofe :and Ohio,
and «_— cago w and Alton'; roads have
made a lasting impression/on him.
Among other things touched upon
by Harrlman in his talk with' the Com
raissionerß'today was the 'changes in
the equipment of the railroads that he
considered necessary in the. future ; He
said' that- the size of cars now. In", use
was too small and that the time had
come for a car with' a capacity^. of at
least i. loo,ooo, pounds. He expressed
himself, ! as favoring the most strin

SAN JOSE, March 4.— Mexicans
poured '• into San '\u25a0 Jose yesterday from
all; parts of the county, as they used
to \u25a0do ' in , the .'.'days before the , Grln-^.
goes came." On foot, •on horseback
and In 'every conceivable' style of
hicle they; swarmed'ln,: every neighbor
ing town- furnishing" its quota.
-.The occasion \ was ; the '-„ farewell din
ner', of Rev. Father :Heredla, v S.: J., a
well-loved . Mexican ; priest,' who ; for> the
past three years -has" labored;zealous
ly. In. the local Mexican \u25a0'colony,' which*
numbers- several thousand souls.
-When \u25a0.\u25a0.-.the"."-" priest came here from
Mexico City three years ago he found
conditions in I the_ : large colony, were
far -from edifying. .Setting to work
a's an ordinary missionary,- he? went
every day for two years from house
to house, playing with; the children"
and .. speaking to the parents in their
native tongue. SbSH
By.* means of .Mexican- dinners he
drew the people to -his "side on Sun
day and 'soon; gati.ered a following o*
several ; thousand. \.'-
Father .^: Heredia's -health recently
broke down. He underwent a criticnl
operation, and was notified by \u25a0 his phy
sicians that he' would have to seek -a
complete rest.in a more salubrious
clime. Regretfully the priest two weeks
ago announced that' he would :; return
to, his home city" ; ln. Mexico, and im
mediately Catholic, women of the city,
together "with \u25a0" Father,' Heredia's - dark
skinned- friends, '\u25a0:, who : now : Idolize their
pastor, began preparations for " the
monster dinner which was given today
in true Mexican style.
The feast, took t place In St. Joseph' 3
big hall Ton San Fernando street, and
was, a continuous; affair, lasting from
noon till 8:30 in the evening.
Society girls acted as waitresses and
cleared -the 'tables ~ and , reset .them as
fast- as" the.' people came and went.
It is estimated that 5000 were ao-.
co^modatedi ' The "proceeds will go
Into a handsome : testimonial to Father
