SESSION ENDS
WITH BIG BOOST
FOR EXPOSITION
Legislature Adopts Resolution
Urging Congress to Choose
San Francisco
Democrats Take a Joke Serious
ly and Political Wrangle
in Senate Follows
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 9.— The special 1
sf-ssion of the thirty-eighth California
• legislature adjourned sine die at noon
loday after the presiding officers of
both houses had afHxed their signatures
io the proposed constitutional amend
ments, which will add $10,000,000 to
the Panama-Pacific international expo
sition fund, and the unanimous adop
tion of Senator Wolfe's joint resolution
memorializing congress to pass Con
gressman JuHus Kahn'f? resolution
designating San Francisco as the site
for the exposition.
The last two hours of the session
in the senate were enlivened by the in
jection of a political wrangle, which
"\u25a0 unexpectedly developed from a "josh" '
resolution introduced for the purpose :
of whiling away the time until the hour j
rixetl for adjourning sine die. It was i
brought in by Senator John B. Sanford, !
democrat, of Ukiah after Senator A.
Caminetti, democrat, of Jackson had
I'f-en called to the jrhair by Lieutenant
Governor Warren R. Porter.
\u2666 ONGRATILATE G. O. P.
The resolution proposed that the re- j
• j'jblican party "be congratulated upon
seeing the light and taking bodily from
Ihe democratic platform the tenets and
principles long advocated by said demo
cratic party and long denounced by the
republican . party." The resolution
further congratulated the new insur
gents upon the amount and quality of
the oil used to grease the steam roller
to flatten out the regulars, and resolved
that it be the sense of the senate that
the '"converts who purloined the demo
cratic platform" be held in a state of
probation for four years.
Senator Cartwrighfs serious discus
sion of the ""josh" resolution immediate
ly drew the nre of Senator Wolfe, who
stated that he considered the serious
Oiscussion of the measure as unfair
after it was understood that the demo
crats were to introduce it in fun. But
the democrats insisted on taking ad
vantage of the little trick, and both
Curtin and Panford took a rap at the
r« jrular republicans and congratulated
the insurgents on their opposition to
Hie machine. Before the situation be
came too acute tlie author was granted
leav*> to withdraw the resolution, and
what might have been a serious debate
v.as avoided.
»AI» MACKENZIE REPORT
The trouble loving democrats, aided
by the insurgent republicans, put one
over on Lieutenant Governor Warren
Porter and the other regular republi
cans by jamming through a resolution
disapproving of the notorious report re
cently made by State Labor Commis
sioner John D. Mackenzie, in which he
expressed the. opinion that Japanese
laborers were necessary in the state.
Speaker Stanton proved himself a
keener tactician than the president of
th" senate by promptly declaring an
identical resolution out of order \u25a0when
It was*offered by Assemblyman John B.
- Mah^r of Santa Cruz.
There was the usual wave of senti
ment in tlie assembly as the hour of
approached when some of
the members realized that the direct
primary law and other agencies proba
bly had forced them into retirement
from legislative activity. William J.
Ha-nlon of Los Ang-eles offered a reso
lution that the members of the thlrty
•M;?hth session effect permanent organ
ization. Former Speaker R. L. Beards
1-ee of Stockton was the only member to
vote no on the motion that Speaker
Stunton name a committee of five to
bring about such an organization. W.
B. Griffiths, W. J. Hanlon, Milton L.
Schmitt, J. W. Preston and Grove L.
Johnson were named on the committee.
JURY IN SAVIDAN WILL
CONTEST DISAGREES
Stands at Six to Six During 24
Hours Balloting
{Special Dispatch to The Call]
SAX JOSE. Sept. 9.— The aU^mpt of
immediate relatives to break the will
whereby the late Mrs. Felica Savidan
]*>ft an estate of $100,000 to Miss Jose
phine Savidan. a distant relative, failed
today when the jury was dismissed
•without rearhf-ng a verdict. The fore
man reported that they .stood six to six
at the first ballot and . not a man
• hanged his mind during the 24 hours
that they were out.
Miss Josephine Savidan, sole benefi
ciary under the will, is a daughter of a
half brother and made Mrs. Savidan
comfortable in her old age. The con
testants were: Louis, Thomas, Henry,
<jreorge, Eva, Mary and L«ouJse Sourrif
pau, children of a brother of Mrs. Savi
dan.
The testimony of alienists from in
sane asylums of the state was intro
duced in an attempt to show that Mrs.
Savidan was incompetent to make a
will. An attempt was. also made to
show that Paul Masson. wealthy cham
pagne manufacturer, had influenced Mrs.
Savidan in making the will and that
the will was forged.

Resolutions Adopted
By the Legislature
Following is the joint resolution adopted by the legislature; memor
ializing congress in behalf of Congressman Kahns resolution fixing upon .
San Francisco as the place for holding the Panama-Pacific exposition
in 1915:
Whereas, (be completion of the
Panama canal will mark the end of

JURY FINDS ALLEGED
BRIBER NOT GUILTY
Lee. O'Neil Browne, Who Fig
ures in Lorimer Scandal,
Is Acquitted
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.— Lee O'Neil
Browne, minority leader in the Illinois
legislature, charged with bribery in
connection with the election of Will
iam Lorimer to the United States sen
ate, was found not guilty by a jury in
the criminal court today. This was
Browne's second trial. The jury dis
agreed in the first trial.
The reading of the verdict absolving
Browne from guilt was greeted with
cheers from friends of Browne who
crowded the courtroom. Browne turned
to his attorney, Charles Erbstein, and
threw his arms around his neck and
for a moment they embraced.
The bailiffs were powerless to main
tain order and with a rush Browne's
friends hoisted him to their shoulders
and carried him around the courtroom,
continuing their cheers.
A semblance of order was restored
by vigorous effort on the part of the
court officials and the jury was polled.
The basis of the indictment against
Browne was that he had bribed Repre
sentative Charles A. White of O'Fal
lon. 111., his colleague on the democratic
side of the Illinois general assembly,
to vote for "William Lorimer^or United
States senator at the close of the dead
locked session of the last state legisla
ture.
Browne was specifically charged with
having paid $850 to White in the
Briggs house in Chicago after having
given him $150 in Springfield.
The verdict in the Browne case came
as a dramatic aftermath to yesterday's
sensational incident between Colonel
Roosevelt and Senator Lorimer regard
ing the Hamilton club banquet...
Senator Lorimer was attending a
meeting of directors of the La Salle
Street national bank when • word : was
given him concerning the verdict. .A
telephone girl at the bank received the
message. Leaving her switchboard she
hastened to the directors' room, where
she handed a paper with the words,
'•Not guilty," to John I. Hughes, a di
rector. Hughes read the message and
then handed it to Senator Lorimer. .
He read it, tore it up and continued
his remarks to the directors.

of Trolley Boodling
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.— The' charge

ningham showed that in less than five
years the former senator had $24,800
placed to his credit, and that at least
$13,300 of this amount had been fur
nished by officials of the Metropolitan
street railway company of this city and
the New York sfcreet railway associa

BEAUTIFUL DRAGON
MAY NOT PARADE
Tong War of the Hop Sings and
Suey Sings May Frus=
trate Plans
..Unless a temporary "truce is agreed
upon between the five, tongs involved
.in the; present war of the Hop Sing
and Suey Sing tongs it is possible that
there will be no appearance of the
beautiful Chinese dragon in .'•- tonight's
parade. The dragon," which, is nearly
200 feet long and which "was "received
with much applause along the line of
march of the Portpla parade last -year,
was to have been a feature* of this
evening's street carnival.
The dragon is controlled by the Hop
Sing tong and the Yee family. It re
quires the strength of more than a
hundred men to carry the huge car
toon. Just now the members of - the
Hop Sing. Suey Sing. Bing Kung, Juke
Lum and On Tick tongs are looking
for one another with bullets. In view
of the war now waging, the dragon
may not appear to delight the hundreds
of thousands who will witness tonight's
street festival. If the dragon does appear
it may be headed by bearers of a flag of
the admiration of those who. view it.
Members of the parade committee of
the Native Sons attempted! to locate
yesterday the Chinese who have charge
of the dragon aiid who agreed to ex
hibit it in the march, but the orientals
could not be found. A plan is on foot
to have the Chinese parlor of Nati\;e
Sons carry the dragon.; but many 'of
them are members of the families con
cerned in the tong war, and it is proba
ble that they can not muster a suf
ficient number to carry the dragon.
The Chinese Native Sons "did noti
march yesterday, although their parlor
had made arrangements to participate.
The dragon has been newly dressed
in beautiful silk of many colors, and it
is well worth seeing. The present
tong war will bring"a keen disappoint
ment to those who know the dragon
and who would care' to admire its gro
tesque beauty once more. \ Just now
the dragon is being used" for a far
more sinster purpose- than to excite
the admiration of . those jj who view - it.
Now it is a shrine before whiclv the
sons of Confucius belonging to the Hop
Sing tong pray to acquire the^- spirit
and courage to do battle against; their
enemies, the Suey Sing and Bing Rung
tongs. ,\;
