OP COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA
MENTO, Jan. 10.-rrSenafor E. O. Mil
ler of Visalia will this week endeavor
to have Governpr Gillett accept an
amendment to the bill, which the latter
had Attorney General Webb prepare
and Senator Stetson introduce in the
senate providing for the clothing of the
railroad commission with much greater
power.
Senator Miller has a. bill drafted
along the lines of the Texas car law,
but today. he decided the features of
his bill might as well be incorporated
In the governor's bill. Besides, with
ihe administration fathering a bill car
rying tlie features of the Texas car act,
he' believed there would be greater
probability of his ideas becoming a
part of the law of the state. -
Governor Gillett. said today:
1 don't like the omnibus bill propo
sition at all. I've got a bill that is
just and fair to the railroad and the
shipper. I don't want either to have a
cinch. The bill will give the state rea
sonable control over the railroads. Of
:ourse I ghall look into Senator Timer's
bill and consider the proporitlon, but I
do not like the idea of adding new
features to the present bill.
Section 23 of the Stetson bill vests
the power In the commission to fix
rules and regulations for the railroads
in the matter of furnishing cars as
follows:
The power and authority Is hereby
vested in the board of railroad com
missioners of California, and it is here
by made its duty, to fix, make and es
tablish all necessary rates, tariffs,
charges, rules and regulations to gov
ern and regulate the transportation of
freight and passengers, to prevent dis
crimination and extortion and to cor
rect abuses, by the different . railroad
and transportation r-companlesr -companles in this
state.
Oregon on the north lias adopted a
rar law and it is working with satis
faction to the shippers. The railroad
companies are fined. 1 3 per day for
failure to deliver cars on demand. Sen
ator Miller'B Idea is to place the fine ati
?5 per day. . • , I

MENTO. Jan. JO. — Whatever- chance
Chairman Teller of the republican state
central committee has had to carry, to
Washington the ten: votes of the presi
dential electors for William H. Taft
have gone a glimmering. With most
of the electors already in this city in
readiness to cast their ballot tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock, it is plainly, to
be Been that one of the ten men will be
selected for the honor of making the
trip across the country and that he will
probably be H. G. W. Dinkelspiel of
San Francisco.
The electors will meet at 2 o'clock
In tlie assembly chamber. U. S. Grant,
Jr., of San Diego, who was chosen as
an elector a large, will not be present,
and Senator Leroy Wright will .prob
ably be selected -to vote In his stead.
After organizing by choosing chair
man and secretary, the electors will
vote first for Wiliam H. Taft for pres
ident and then for J. S. Sherman for
vice president. The * resut wi be set
forth in three certificates, one of which
will be cent to the -district judge, an
other mailed to the president of the
senate and the third taken to Washing

SAYS PUBLIC OPINION OP-%
POSES BETTING ON RACES
"I feel sorry for any bill that gets
into the hands of the committee on
public morals at Sacramento."' 6aid Rev.
i:. R. Dille, of the Central M.E. church
last night, in speaking of the proposed
bill for the prevention of betting on
hors»* races in California.
"We see the necessity for the passage
of such a bill every day," "he continued.
"T> Bcuf and Tetsall axe examples of
the result of betting on the races. Pub
lic opinion demands* that a stringent
law prohibiting betting: on race horses
be passed during the present session
of' the legislature. Legislation roust not
force, but follow public opinion."
Dr. Dille delivered a scathing de
nunciation of the | Emeryville race
track and its backers, saying that It
was the worst vice . that ever Infested

day morning In Kearny street when in
the act of grappling with Thomas J.

ting was buried with full police hon
ors. Mayor Taylor, the police commis
sioners and more than 200 patrolmen
and superior officers attended. .
Companies B, C. D, E and F of the
local police department assembled in
front of Gray's undertaking parlor, 2196
Geary street, i shortly before 2,^o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The companies
were placed in battalion formation un
der command of Captain Gleeson. . A
mounted company of police under com
mand of Sergeant McGee was also in
line. Company A, or . which Sergeant
Nolting was a member, attended " the
services in the chapel in a body.
The police were in full uniform,
with white gloves, and their badges
were draped in black. Immediately
after the close of the services in the
chapel, which were 4 conducted by Rev.
Julius Fuendellng of St. Marcus Evan
gelical Lutheran church, the funeral
procession was".d rawn up in • llne.^ ij\,\{^
SERGE AXTS CARRY CASKET .
The remains of Sergeant Xolting're
posed in an elegant black caskettwhich
was carried out of the chapel by cix
of his fellow sergeants, the members of
Company A following the caaket.
Mayor Taylor, Chief of Police Cook
and Police Commissioners ' Swelgert,
Leggat and Cutler preceded the pall-,

With the mounted police in tlie lead,
the funeral procession marched : to Odd
Fellows' cemetery, where the remains
were taken for cremation. .
MAM' FLORAL TRIBUTES
A wealth of -floral tributes in the
chapel testified. to the esteem in which
the late sergeant was held. Noticeable
among the floral' offerings was a large
design from the One Hundred and
Forty-eighth coast artillery, to which
Jordan belonged. This represented an
open gate, made of orchids, ferns, vio
lets and Easter lilies. An open book
made of white carnations edged with
pink carnations, was built* on a huge
base of Oregon grape leaves. ,' V
Every police company of- the 'local
department sent a beautiful design' and
flowers were also^sent by many prom
inent' businessmen, as .well as .by rela
tives and friends of Nolting.
The members of engine company No.
39, which company fs^located at 2136
Geary street, stood at- attention -by the
engine ' house as the funeral cortege
marched by. /,
SOLDIER CHARGED WITH MURDER
Thomas - J." Jordan, the* soldier \whom
Sergeant Nolting was attempting, to ar
rest when \u25a0he was killed, * was
with murder last night. The police
are confident that, they : have sufficient
evidence to convict- Jordan^of, murder,
although* they* point somewhat bitterly
to the punishment given to four, others
who; were: convicted of ', killing; mem
bers of the» police force .in \ the last
three years. ' In no case has. the punish
ment • exceeded 10 years r, in prison.
John Kralikouski and . Charles s Ne
barger, the two soldiers'who we»e with
Jordan at the time of the shooting, are
also Incustody, and -they wilDbo held
as v witnesses and in all probability,
they ;wlll be prosecuted. If v they ; are
not prosecuted by the local police %it
Is understood that the -military au
thorities will court martial \u25a0\u25a0 the; pair. " ;
. Nebarger will surely, have : to answer
to the military authorities -for his part
in • the affair. He was {detailed as a
provost guard to . go 'in ; search of : Jor-,
dan, who had overstayed:; his liberty.

revolver, and he has not given* a satis
factory explanation of how ; Jordan'se

TO PUNISH MEN WHO
LIVE OFF FALLEN WOMEN
CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF. COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA
MENTO, Jan. 10.— Senator Daniel Relly
of San Francisco proposes to introduce
a bill which will aim to place in the
penitentiary those degraded" men who
thrive on the earnings of unfortunate
women. ; His bill will make it a felony
for a man to . take . the wages of • a
woman's shame.
This? bill; is now being drawn by
"Bob" Duke, assistant district attorney
of iSan Francisco. Duke and Relly are
both in the police court of Judge
Shortall^ Duke as prosecutor and Relly
as clerk. Their positions have brought
them into contact with that unfortunate
class of ; women who live in ?.< slavery,
not only, to a shameful occupation, but
also | to- the "brutal " task masters who
terrorize and rob them. 7 - -: .'
•/"These men,' 1 , said Senator Reily; "are"
a most dangerous influence to the com
munity.^- "Before . the fire they were
drunkards and hopheads whom the po
lice : could 'easily, deal >wlth.\ : But , since
the ; fire-ja ; new: gang has come to San
Francisco;: from .Chicago and- St' Louis,
wealthy,; sleek and much more vicious."
It is, estimated- that- if the bill be
comes a law it will. place behind prison
bars or drive from California 1 300 men
in San Francisco alone. \u25a0

of, the old attache method is exhibited
in the senate, where an extra post
master., and • assistant r, postmaster ; have
been < provided to ' take care of- two at
taches in search of $4 jobs. %
One, postmaster and one assistant' at
salaries of i |4 < are provided for by law
by ' the senate, but in addition to ithese
statutory ; appointments the committee
