OTIS BILL SCORES
IN THE ASSEMBLY
Forces Favorable to Racetrack
Gambling Are Routed.

Rejected by a Vote of

iSpecial Dispatch to The Cell}
CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SAC
RAMENTO, Jan. 20l — In a series of de
cisive clashes the assembly today
routed the forcfs favorable to race
track gambling and stood by the
Walker-Otis bill, two to one. The de
bite ;at times grew bitter, and once,
v.-faen' (Jro^e L. Johnson hurled defiance
at Speaker Stajiton. It looked as though
the sergeant at arms would be called
i:pon to remove the aggressive Sacra
mento member. Incidentally the Alar
tinelli-Butler bill "n-as offered as an
amendment and rejected, 52 to 23.
John Mott of Oakland, In urging the
reconsideration of th« action whereby
The assembly refused yesterday to re
refer the Otis-WaJker bill to the public
morals committee, said the result would
have been different had the speaker al
lowed a discussion of the subject. He
believes every on<? should have a right
to a hearing. He asserted that the bill
v:as of no moment to him. He denied
any desire to send the bill back to com
mittee and ho*id it there.
CRITICISE COMMITTEE
"I don't like to charge the chairman
or the public morals committee with
bad faith or doing wrong," said Moil.
*"The committee met in my absence. It
had two other bills on the subject be
fare it. but considered this one and re
ported It back. This may be all right,
but I have my suspicions of it."
W. \Y. Greer of Sacramento said that
the owners of three large breeding
farm? in this country were anxious for
a hearing before the committee. He
decried any effort to jam the bill
through the assembly.
• Chairman W. B. Griffiths of the com
mittee defendad the action of the com
mittee, paying that it had received no
notice that any one desired to appear
beforo It.
"I have a bill before the committee.
Has it been considered 7* asked E. I.
Butltr. Griffiths replied that it had
sot.
Oscnr Gibbons, who had given the
notic* to reconsider, said he was a
strong supporter of the anti-racetrack
gambling bill, but he favored fair play.
By a vote of 30 to 4S the assembly
refused to send the Otis bill back to
BUTLER BILL BEATEX
Butler led the Martlnelli-Butler bill
to the slaughter by offering it as an
amendment to the Otis-Walker bill by
striking- out everything but the enabling
clause of the bill betore the house and
substituting the measure credited to
MartwelH and himself. The original
bill makes it optional with the judge
•whether the defendant in the event of
conviction be sent to Jail or prison,
•while the amendment carries with it
only a jail term and fine.
"I wouldn't have been forced to offer
the amendment if I had been given a
chance before the committee," said But
ler. *I am here under pledge to my
constituents to do away with pool
room gambling. At Sausalito. we have
poolrooms open when the tracks are
not operating In this state. By the
Otis bill it would be necessary to prove
there had been a result in the race and
•Re couldn't get proof from outside the
state. By my bill it is only necessary
to show that the race was purported to
have been held. If my bill becomes a
law the poolrooms will be eradicated
from Marin county, and* that is what
I'm here for."
Frank Otis of Alameda opposed the
Butler amendment, saying that the
features which Butler said were miss
ing really were included in the bill,
which was a copy of the Hughes bill
that had stopped racetrack gambling In
New York. .:. • '^
•We can go outside the state to "get
witnesses or get their depositions,"
said Otis. "We are not trying to get
at the bettors. We think the pool sell
ers and book makers are the guilty
ones. I believe the amendment is a
defective measure."
JOHXSOX TO RESCUE
Grove L. Johnson then went to the
rescue of Butler and tried to win votes
for the measure with some unusual
promises.
"I want a bill that will hold water."
said Johnson. "I guarantee- to clear
any man who may be prosecuted under
the Otis bill. If he were not cleared I
would volunteer to serve his term- if I
could. The object of a bill is to have
It effective. I am one of those who
thinks the evil is exaggerated. Often
when a man spends his money for wine
and women he blames -the racetracks.
Now when a man embezzles he says he
has been playing the ponies. Ninety
nine times out of a hundred the man
lies. I think Alameda county should
skin its own skunks."
The Butler amendment was then de
feated 23 to 52, the roll call being as
follows:

Johnson tried to amend the Otis bill
by having it apply to automobiles also'
His amendment was defeated 29 to 48*
Otis asked that his bill be made a
special order for tomorrow at 11
o'clock. ._ Johnson and Mott opposed
this. When a roll was demanded on
the proposition, Johnson began to
speak on the matter and clashe*' with
Speaker Stanton. The vote was 43 to

the motion had carried.

Which Is Better Money or Love?
San Francisco Women Are All With
Burroughs and Against John p.
Burroughs Thinks
i Few Millionaires
Are Happy
A NUMBER of v representative women of San
j£-l Francisco have verified' the prediction of John
Burroughs, /the naturalisU b\) agreeing pith him
in condemning the . sentiment attributed to John
D. Rockefeller. Money is not the first aid to happi- S '
ness, they declare unanimously, although -. every one
acknowledges that [t is not an unpleasant adjunct.
Love, or congenial tastis, or perhaps both, are deemed
the requisites for happiness in married life! :Here- is
what some San Francisco women say: :
. Mrs. John F. Merrill: Many .'arc not happy who
have plenty of money, while others 'who have very
little have very happy, contented lives.
Money is necessary, of course, and its possession /
brings comfort, but it is in reality a small part of
happiness. One must have <a great deal more. j
Of course if a man is mean and refuses to give
up his money it tends to bring unhappiness, but
mere money will content no one. I disagree entirely
with Mr. Rockefeller.
Mrs. H. H. Bancroft: I should say very de
cidedly that a woman would „ need, something more
than money to bring happiness. When one thinks
of the thousands of beautiful homes where there is •
not enough money, but love and contentment in full- ;
est measure, one realizes that 'money ;is not all.' ItT
give 3 luxury, of course; but "true^ happiness comes V
from congeniality of tastes. Money is no. objection;
but nothing compensates for love. ; ,"
Love and congeniality make happy homes and < 4
make money seem far less important.
Mrs. Henry Payot;l agree with Mr. Burroughs
entirelj*. Money can not always bring happiness. : 1^
know some very rich people in this city who are
not so happy as some poor ones. Certainly money
alone would never make me happy. \u25a0
Mrs. Arthur Cornwall: Would all the money I
want make me happy? Well; I'd like to have a
trial at it.
I believe in generosity, of course, and if a, man
has a dollar let him spend it like a prince, and not
pinch it until the eagle screams. If a man is mean
it is apt to make one contemptuous of him, but just
money can not make ypu happy with him. I believe :
all money beyond necessity is 'a burden and many
rich men have no happiness. I know some men I
could never, be happy with if they had all the
money in the world.
, Small minds, small souls and fat \ purses could
never make me happy.
Mrs. Frederick Hewlett: I absolutely agree with
the statement that a woman will want love first of
all if she has the right instincts. "Right instincts"
is a saving clause, of course, ; and there may be
women in the world who, are happy with nothing but
monej', although I do not like to think so.; Money:
alone would never satisfy me. I think there is much
more that is necessary in married life.
Mrs. Aylett Cotton Sr.: I think happiness is more
a matter of the individual. Some are happy with
and some without money; it is/ something within
yourself. I don't believe happiness is ever gained t
by what you get from others. Mere money can *
never bring happiness, although the power of doing
good which comes from it can do much for one.
ITHACA. X.
V.,' Jan. 20.—
— John Bur
roughs, the nat
uralist, believes
that few million

happy. He said
today:
"I do not .be

declaration that
I believe Amer
ican men and
women all over
the world will
resent. They
want love first of
all if they are
provided with
the right In
stincts.
"I sat behind
Jay Gould In

he wrote a com

ey fire was blaz
ing In his eyes,
and I am sure it
reached his brain
and consumed
his life, sending
him to an un-
timely grave.
"The great
problem of to

Seven Suffragist Reasons
CALL, HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING. SACRA
MENTO, Jan. 20. — The assembly com
mittee reported the women's suffragist
amendment out today. This- action fol
lowed a hearing during, which Miss
Kate Ames of Berkeley, Mrs. Agnes
Ray and Mrs. Lillian Harris Coffin ad
dressed the- committee.
The principal address was made by
Miss Ames, who spoke as a representa
tive of the college alumnae. She ad
vanced the following seven reasons for
the submission of the suffrage amend
ment:
That women had been . emancipated
from many duties and had. the time
necessary to study economic conditions.
That the government was very active
in matters in which women could ren
der great assistance. . >
That statistics showed them to be
the equal of men from an educational
standpoint. \u25a0 ' '
That the vital interests o,f the coun
try required the combined administra
tive power of man and woman. -
That there was a great public need.
That it was a question for all of the
people to decide. • , .
Preston of Ukiah reserved the right
to oppose the measure on the floor of
the assembly.
Freight Rate Inquiry Asked
(By United 1 Wlrelews
CALL, HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA
MENTO, Jan. 20.— The state senate will
be given an* opportunity to ask the
interstate commerce commission to in
vestigate the increase in freight rates
and it will have a chance to denounce
the Pacific Mall' for making an illegal
arrangement with the transcontinental
lines as well as to urge congress to
establish a line of Panama, steamers.
The Sanford Joint resolution covering
these matters was reported favorably
by the committed on federal relations
today and will be before the senate to
morrow morning. .; i,"i
The resolution wos drawn by the Cal
ifornia traffic association and was
based largely on the report 6f Joe
Bristow, the new senator for Kansas,
who charged that the Pacific Mail was
dominated by :the (transcontinental
lines, and on tliat account failed to seek
through business by way ,of Panama.
Whether the' senate will see fit to de
nounce the railroads for raising freight
rate and to roast the Pacific Mall re>
malns to be seen; but it is safe to say
that there, will be a lively fight as soon
as the programmers try to bury the
resolution. .
\u25a0 There - will ' be more trouble for the
railroadmen when the resolution intro
duced by Senator JCamlnettt, dealing
with Wells; Fargo & Co.. comes: uo.
Taking advantage of the-Investiga
tion of the express company, now being
made by Interstate Commerce Commis
sioner Lane, Comlnetti introduced the
resolution' reciting that Wells, Fargo
& Co. had recently " raised its rates,
charging that.lt was a port of a com
bination to control the. express busi
ness of the country with = the conniv
ance of the railroads, which are. alleged
to have- interests in the express;busi
ness, and declaring that this state of
affairs is in restraint of He

-The .Commonwealth : club has pre
pared* a large number of bills de
signed to reform' the criminal pro

ened and much; time saved in the
prepafatlon of the- record for -appeal.
The judgment, under j the plan con
templated, must be pronounced in five
days and the record on appeal must
be -filed In 3 the appellate court within
60 days after the verdict. It not-in
frequently occurs that several years
elapse .between the verdict /and the
filing of the record on appeal. The
average time is nearly a year.
I In order-:to : make the changes de
sired,: about 70 bills have been pre
pared. , They repeal ; some 100 sections
of the code of civil procedure and the
penal -code. , The '--> modifloations were
suggested after an exhaustive study of
the . question by- the Commonwealth
club. The proposals tfre embodied in
a report of a ; special committee com
posedOf: Beverly L. Hodghead, chair
man;. Sidney V. Smith, Lester H.
Jacobs, E. A.\Walcott, Joseph Hutchln
son,< Orrln K. JVlcMurray, Alexander G.
Eels : and Fairfax Hr Wheelan.
The alterations in the present law
for which the new bills call have been
grouped by the Commonwealth club
under 12 general heads. - These= are
enumerated as; follows: • \u25a0
\u25a0•-\u25a0- 1. • To make, tbe grand Jury -an accusatory
body purely. :, Objections must be tuade against
thejurors when -the body -is itnpaut-led; arter
that It can not be assailed. Tula will put a
atop to the practice of- placing the jurors on
trial.
2. To enlarge the number of persons eligible
to Jury duty iby including stock holders in as
sessed : corporations and also those whose wives
are on the assessment roll,
>3. To eliminate the" rule that bars from a jury

from counsel as the court may permit.
:0. To limit the right of counsel to Obtain
special instructions to the Jury by giving attor

viding what points defendant may specify as
a ground for his appeal. " ' -.
10. To discourage appeals upon grounds which
do not affect the substantial merits of the e^se

affirmance of the Judgment would result In a

a provision for the filing with the higher court

The "suit did ; not come as a great sur
prise to their ; friends/ who had known
for j some time of their "differences and
had endeavored without success to re

. j Mrs. ; Moroney has brought her action
on the ground of desertion.^ Her hus
band has taken apartments at the

friends, they.; have drifted I apart .as ; a
sequence \to a \ growing "'- temperamental
variance. ' •'- "•\u25a0\u25a0' ,• ' . '
Moroney is the president of the
Jesse Moore Hunt company, wholesale
liquor dealers. His'wife, formerly Miss
Anna Hunt, was; a daughter .of one. of
the,, founders of 'the firm. ' ; ; Her * un
usual beauty gave her; special distinc
tion and her marriage in 1894 was a big
socleLy event. The matrimonial
continued clear and bright until three
years ago. Then it^was that the first
mists gathered on the horizon. The
breach widened until it became appar
ent thot a separation would follow.
Owing to religious scruples' Moroney
refrained from instituting proceedings
and took up his residence, at hlsclub.
Mrs. Moroney then asked for the sever
ance of the marital bonds.
There are two children, Ethel, aged

understood that they will be given into

REPORTED THAT ELKINSv;:

! - terday With French Count
[Special Cable to The Call]
LONDON. Jan. 20.— The duke of the
Abruzzi left London this morning for
Paris with Count Negrotto 41 Cam
briaso. ,
A rumor 13 floating about that the
duke met here a messenger sent by
Senator Elklns. but the World corres
pendent has been unable to trace that
report to any trustworthy source. The
Italian embassy denies it.
-The story seems to be based on the
facts that George F. Herrlck of Chi

same day (Sunday) the duke did, took
a room in the first floor opposite the
duke's - suite and left for Paris this
morning on the train that carried the
duke.
