VAN SMITH CALL BTJREATr, SACRAMENTO HOTEL. Sacramento, January 27. The citizens of Sacramento extended the, neighbor's hand to the members of the legislature and the state officials at a welcoming dinner commemorative of a new relationship between the peo ple of the capital city and the state's lawmakers. The, dinner served in the main din ing room of Hotel Sacramento, was a feast in which the hosts and Manager Hanlon of , the hostelry might well take pride. Nearly 4 n o men participated in an affair as spontaneously cordial as it was informal and novel for the men who have served only % one or two prior terms in the legislature. That it was appreciated by the legis was evidenced by the warmth of their thanks and the wealth of their promises to Sacramento and the peo ple of the state. MANY PROMINENT SPEAKERS The speakers were Governor Hiram TV. Johnson, Justice A. G. Burnett t of the district court of appeals, "Lieutenant Governor A. J. "Wal lace. Speaker C. C.

Nye, Surveyor General W. S. Kingsbury, Senator Lee C. Gates of Los Angeles and Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan. Justice Burnett was a most happy tnastmaster. His pleasant eyes and eloquence were thrown into striking relief by the vociferous activities of the Sacramento Ad club, whose members had a chorus greeting for every speak er, a list of catchy songs for every pause and a merry hit for every local celebrity. The club occupied a table in the center of the effectively decorated ban o.uet room. That occupancy, however, was not permitted until tlie club had submitted to a rigorous examination by <*. Glen Andrus, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. « H\NT FOR GOVERNOR JOHNSON The examination was designed to enable the "ad" men to speak many glowing words for Sacramento and a few for themselves. The efforts of the "ad** men may be fairly judged by " isant. with which they greeted Governor Johnson: How de do, HI, bow de do? How de do, Hiram, how de do? The gang's all here to pay its r.espei:til to yoii: Governor Johnson was given a tre mendous ovation when lie rose to re spond to the toast, "California." No legislature in recent years has been so warmly and genuinely praised by ex ecutive or any other state officer as was the sitting legislature tonight by Governor Johnson. 'I can not, in this city." said the governor, "indulge in that fancy which men In public office are supposed to be so familiar with. I can not talk to you of the glories of the state of Cali fornia. You have the government of California here before you. In these men you have California with you. LEGISLATORS ARE PATRIOTIC "You well may be proud of the legis lature that is here with you tonight. There is no room for the disregard in which legislatures were held here when 1 was a boy. "The legislature sitting here today is composed of patriotic gentlemen any one may be proud to know. They are striving for the benefit of you and California. They are an honor to Cali fornia and to any community in which they temporarily may reside. "They represent—they are—the gov ernment that is going forward for Cali f-4' ia.

Miss Guggenheim had a most unfor tunate tumble from her saddle horse whftf taking her morning canter through Central park in April. 1911. Her features were severely lacerated and Dr. Asher F. F. Buxbaum was called In to do the necessary dental work to reinforce Miss Guggenheim's physiognomy. The dentist declares he has duly pre sented his hill of $7,500 and has been refused -payment. Hence he is suing to recover that sum in the supreme court from the executors of Guggen heim's estate. Buxbaum declares he treated Miss Guggenheim both at his Madison avenue office and in the suite occupied by Miss Guggenheim and her mother at WIDOW OF SICKLES' CIVIL WAR FOE IS TO AID GENERAL "I'll Raise $23,476 Among Ragged and Maimed Fol lowers of Lee," Mrs. Longstreet Wires NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Mrs. Helen D.

I am wiring the attorney general of New York that I will raise money among the ragged, destitute and maimed veterans who followed" Lee to pay the amount demanded, if the New York officials will allow sufficient time. The republic whose battles you fought will not permit your degradation. "HELEN D. LONGSTREET."

The sheriff addressed his letter to J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller. An drew Carnegie and the 450 members of the sheriff's panel, composed of wealthy New Yorkers. Sheriff Harburger dealt gently with his prisoner. Instead of serving the order of arrest this morning, he waited until General Sickles' lawyer, Daniel P. Hays, had arranged with a surety company for a $30,000 bond for the veterans freedom. Mr. Hays brought it to the sheriff's offlce and they went to General Sickles' Fifth avenue home this afternoon. They placed the bond before the general and he signed it in a flowing hand. Mrs. Longstreet Ready to Aid (Special Dispatch to The Call) GAINESVILLE, Ga., Jan. 27.—Follow ing the publication today of her tele grams to General Daniel E. Sickles in New York and the attorney general In Albany. Mr?. Helen D. Longstreet said: 'My husband always spoke of General Sickles as the hero of Gettys burg. They were opposed to each other in that deciding battle of the war and General Longstreet in the last autograph letter he ever wrote, September 19, 1902, to Gen eral Sickles, told him that the taking of the peach orchard by Sickles' corps won the battle for the union forces and defeated the confederacy. "They were always close friends, and General Sickles wrote the introduction to my biography of General Longstreet. It was General Longstreet's detach ment that shot off the leg of the brave union general, but as General Long street said, 'Sickles can wtll afford to leave a leg at Gettysburg, for he had made sure his place forever in the hearts of Americans." "I have made no plans as yet. but if Gener.il Sickles needs my aid _i.d the aid of the south, he will get it."

CRUISER SMASHED; CAPTAIN IS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN CRASH Warship California in Dry dock Shows Plates Bat tered, Frames Buckled and Ruined (Special n"*ra'>b to The Cain MARE ISLAND, Jan. 27.—The cruiser California lies in the drydock here with battered plates and buckled frames and no explanation of the cir- cumstances attending the disaster can be given by captain, officers or crew. How the ship's side could be crushed in without the seeming knowledge of the officers in command is a matter that will receive the attention of a naval board of inquiry and later the serious consideration of the navy de partment. « When the cruiser was examined to day by officers and mechanics it was discovered that plates covering a dis tance of 175 feet on the port side were crushed in and would have to be re placed. The damaged plates are just below the armor belt of the vessel. CAPTAIN SILENT ON ACCIDENT The Interior of the ship also looked as if a battering ram had struck it and 25 frames were pulled out In a crushed condition. The vessel went on drydock Saturday, but the revela tions of its crippled condition were not made to Commander H. T. Mayo until today. He immediately ordered an in vestigation. Captain Alexander Halstead seems unable to explain how the damage was done his ship. Men expert ill tfaval affairs say that only a blow that would have rocked the ship from stem to stern could have wrought such havoc, yet everybody aboard ship professes ignorance of any collision or accident. The California has not been In ( dry dock for nearly a year, and It was sug gested that the accident might have happened before the ship left San Francisco last spring. COURT MARTIAL LIKELY It was also stated that the plates might have been battered in when the ship was at Corinto last fall. But these are only surmises. The truth will likely not be learned until a full investigation is made by the navy in quiry board.

STRATTON AND NEEDHAM SUGGESTED FOR VACANCY Speculation In Washington as to Suc cessor on Federal Bench Follows Death of Judge de Haven (Special Dispatch to The Call) WASHINGTON.

Strat ton, at present collector of the port at San Francisco. Congressman Need ham, whose term expires March 4, also Is mentioned. The deadlock In the senate regarding presidential nominations may defeat any plan to appoint a republican to this vacancy. There is a courtesy rule in congress Whereby the naming of a congressman for an important office is usually con fit mcd. This might stand Needham in good stead if the two senators should join in recommending him. DEER STARVED BY SNOW Heavy Fall Expected to Kill Hundreds In California Mountains MONTAGUE.

Column 7 AS WOMEN SMOKE AND DRINK HIGHBALLS THEY ARE GIVEN JURY DUTY Colorado Senate Passes Bill After Moralists Are Routed in Debate DENVER. Jan. 27.—Senator Helen R. Robinson's bill to amend the constitu tion to permit the legislature to pass a bill admitting women to jury duty precipitated a heated quarrel of an hour in the legislature today. Senator Williams attacked the bill on the ground of morality. "I should hate to see the time come," he said, "when my wife or daughter would be chosen for jury service and be locked in a room with several men jurors over night or for several nights. "I should hate to see the time come when my wife or my daughter were forced to appear in court and show cause why they should not serve on a Jury. "And there are many criminal cases in the trial of which it is an Insult to ask women to listen to the evidence." Senator John Hecker of Denver re plied in defense: "Women have equal suffrage. If they want to sit on juries I can't see why they shouldn't. When the liquor question was brought up in Denver it was the women who voted the town wet. "The women of this town drink more highballs and cocktails than the men do, anyhow, and they smoke more cigarettes a day than the men. I can't see why they shouldn't be allowed to serve on juries if they want to." The bill was passed on second read ing. PRICE FIVE CENTS. WOMEN RAGE WHEN THEIR RIGHTS BILL IS GARROTED Militant Leaders of English Suffragettes Summon Host to Relentless Warfare, When, by Alleged Trick of Politicians, Equality Meas ure Is Strangled in House of Commons, and London Becomes the Hotbed of an Amazonic Rebellion WHOLE POLICE FORCE CALLED INTO ACTION Mrs. Pankhurst and Other Radical Spellbinders Ha rangue crowds to Enlist for Crusade, Threatening to Destroy Property, and if Necessary Break Heads Until Parliament Gives Them Voice in Govern ment and Ballot Privilege LONDON. Jan. 27.—England is on the brink of another campaign by the suf fragettes in comparison with which former outbreaks of the militant women will appear insignificant. Two thousand policemen were en gaged tonight In dispersing huge crowds gathered near the parliament buildings, shopkeepers were boarding up show windows, and excited women were making incendiary speeches in several halls. The women believe that the poll tlleans have played a carefully studied trick upon them and the decision of the government to drop the franchise bill is likely to lead to serious conse quences. SMOTHERING SUFFRAGE BILL In the house of commons today, the speaker, the Right Honorable James William Lowther, in response to an inquiry by the prime minister, an nounced that if any amendments to the franchise bill giving women the vote should be adopted he would be obliged to rule that they made it sub stantially a new bill, which would corn ped its withdrawal. Mr. Asquith thereupon announced that the cabinet had decided that under such circumstances it would be useless to proceed. This was an nounced to a crowded house, which dis played more Interest in the subject than had been shown In the last stages of the home rule bill. POLICE GUARD AGAINST RIOTS In the meantime police in great num bers, mounted and afoot, were having great difficulty outside the buildings keeping the crowds in check, while re serve forces stationed In courtyards in the vicinity of parliament were held in readiness to quell disorders of a more serious nature. The suffragettes held heated meet ings tonight. Mrs. Emaline Pankhurst and other leaders denounced both the enemies and supporters of suffrage In the cabinet for their treachery. They declare an end of the truce which the women had observed while awaiting parliament's action on the bill. SEVERAL WOMEN ARRESTED Several woman were arrested tonight, some of whom declined to give their names. One, believed to be Miss Sylvia Pank hurst, was captured in St. Stephen's hall, leading to the house of commons, where she was making a determined attack on a large painting The police dispersed a .rowd in Tra falgar square, where a man and woman were trying to make speeches.
