There were present from the Athens of the Pacific, Attorneys W.

S. Goodfellow and C. E. Snook and Senator Lukens and Assemblyman Waste, "both of Whom are also members of the legal profession. Mr.

Goodfellow came in company with Attorney McEnerney, as a special committee representing the San, Francisco Bar Association, to offer a substitute for the bill prepared by Senator Hahn. The proposed substitute had been approved by the Bar Association of San Francisco. It included a number of 'the features of the Hahn measure as also a number of features which were suggested by the lawyers of the metropolis. THREE APPELLATE JUDGES. It proposes the establishment of three District Appellate Courts with concurrent Jurisdiction, the judges of which shall be elected at large by the people.

To these courts, the Supreme Court will have authority, when crowded with business, to refer cases and when one or more of the District Appellate Courts are overworked, to take from or apportion among them cases for consideration. A unanimous opinion in determining cases is required of the District Appellate Judges. When such an agreement cannot be reached, the case must go to the Supreme Court and each of the Appellate judges must write out his understanding of the case. The term of the Appellate Judges is to be twelve years. The courts are to be established in San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles.

The bill will be, engrossed and, in a week, the San Francisco Bar Association Committee will come here again to further elucidate the measure. WHOLE BEANS IN HIS STOMACH.

He is a wonder. INTEMPERANCE AND CRUELTY CHARGED. A default against the defendant, has been entered in the divorce suit of Mrs. Emily Horn against Louis Horn and ths case has been referred to Court- Commissioner Crowell to take testimony. Horn is a shoemaker of Alameda.

He Is charged by his wife with cruelty and intemperance. In her complaint the wife alleges that Hofn remained under the in fluence of liquor for a year and neglected his business and when she remonstrated with him he threatened her with a pistol. GRAND JURY HEARS PROTEST OF A FARMER The Grand Jury met this morning and again considered the complaint of L. Le-berrer against the new railroad which' proposes to come Into Oakland. Leberrer says the road will close up a wagon road In the Palomares district, near Haywards, and that many farmers i have no means of reacV and other towns.

He has Grand Jury several times. therefore, 1 Haywards before the Palace Bakery for tse Best, 1012 Washington street. if Pain -from Indigestion, dyspepsia, and too hearty eating. Is relieved at once by taking one of Carter's Little Liver Pills. Immediately after dinner.

Don't forget this. He is General Manager of a Big Cor-. poration. Will Remain at the Head of the Oakland Company. i The people of Oakland will be pleased toilearn that John A.

Brttton will continue at the head of the Oakland Gas. Light and Heat Company. When it was announced that the company had been absorbed by the mammoth California Gas and Electric Corporation many apprehensions were felt that it meant the retirement of Mr. Britton from the active management of the local lighting plant. It is gratifying to learn that this apprehension is unfounded.

Mr! Britton will not only retain the presidency and management of the Oakland company, but will also be general manager, of the parent corporation, whose enormous interests ramify the whole northern and central parts of the State. This is an assurance that the cordial and mutually satisfactory relations which have existed for so many years between the people of Oakland and the lighting corporation will continue unbroken. Putting the general management into the hands of John A. Britton is a wise stroke of policy on the part of the California Gas and Electric Company. A man better qualified "for the place cannot be found.

Long experience in his case Is supplemented by natural adaptability. Mr. Britton combines great business sagacity with rare tact, affable manners and the gift of enlisting map's good will traits- that are invaluable in the manager of a corporation that Is compelled to deal with the public politically as well as commercially. It is a remarkable tribute to the business acumen and diplomatic talent of Mr. Britton that his company has never had a serious contention with the public since lie has had the direction of its affairs, And today the company has the en-tire goodwill of, its patrons, and there is no more popular citizen in Oakland than its president.

The secret of Mr. Britton's remarkable success in dealing with the public is that he has always been fair. The financial success of his company is due to his business capacity and executive ability. He has mastered the art of giving good service at low cost. This Is an Indispensable requisite in the management of large enterprises.

But Mr. Britton and his company are popular with the people of -Oakland be cause the service has been good and the treatment fair and considerate. Mr. Britton- has never followed the maxim of charging all the traffic would bear. His policy has been to charge as little as was consistent with good service and a fair profit on the Investment In his enterprise.

Every time he cheapened the cost of producing light, he lowered rates. He did not wait till angry public clamor compelled a reduction, but cut prices 'voluntarily in Advance of popular content. Thus the public has been benefitted largely by his clever business management. On the other hand his company has been an enormous gainer by 'policy which has given it a high place in popular estimation. Mr.

Britton demonstrated his capacity by entering the employ of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company as a subordinate and rising to be' its chief figure and complete controller. It Is universally admitted that there is not a better managed corporation in California. The policy that has gained this reputation will now be applied in a larger field. The business of supplying gas in the city of Oakland was commenced In the year 1867 by Joseph G. Eastland and W.

W. Beggs of San Francisco, at the present site of the company's works on First and Washington streets; the equipment then consisting of one 'bench of three re having a ca pacity of not to exceed ten thousand cubic feet per day, and mains were laid to Seventh and Broadway only. The company was then called the Oakland Oas Company. In 1871 the business having very ma visited the Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind at Berkeley. "We were met at the office by Dr.

Wilkinson, who showed us through the different buildings, first explaining to us the needs of the Institution. "The only extra appropriation asked for is $15,000. to replace the amount taken from the Durham fund. The necessity for using this fund was as follows: Several years ago, smallpox broke out in the school. It was absolutely necessary to segregate those infected from the other pupils.

As there were no funds Immediately available for such a- purpose, and as the needs of such a building was Immediate, money was used from the Durham fund for that purpose. "A neat substantial brick building. Isolated from the others was erected, is in good repair and ready for immediate use if any infectious or contagious diseases appear in the institution. MANAGEMENT APPROVED. "Your committee particularly commends the earnestness, thoroughness and devotion to duly, as well as the uniform kindness to the children of Dr.

Wilkinson and the various teachers under his charge. We believe that the institution is doing a noble work for the unfortunate children of the State: that It Is carefully and economically managed and that the appropriation asked for is Just and should be allowed." TELEPHONE INQUIRY CONTINUED FOR A WEEK. The House Committee on Corporations reported today that it had not been able to start out upon its investigation of the service Of the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company and had deferred inquiry into the matter until Tuesday of next week. This postponement was granted at the request of General Agent Halsey, of the Company In San Francisco, who wished the inquiry set back until the company should be able to get a representative on the ground. Assemblyman Stanton of Los Angeles, who has made the charges was displeased with the postponement.

He says he thinks the matter has gone over forever. The committee meeting held last night was a hot one and at its close, sOnffe of the members stated that crimination and recrimination had been indulged in promiscuously. At this writing a majority of the committeeseem to oppose the proposed investigation. COUNTY MONEY TO GO INTO COUNTY BANKS. Senator Leavitt has introduced a bill which will be of exceeding Interest to bankers and county treasurers.

It authorises the depositing of county funds In national banks in each county, on condition that the banks receiving the deposits give as security, bonds either of the United States, the State of California or of municipalities therein, approved by the State Board of Examiners and by the Supervisors of the county. FRANK JORDAN'S REQUEST. Senator Flint has espoused the cause of Frank Jordan, clerk of the Supreme Court and has Intruduced a bill appropriating $500 for the purpose of redecorating the office of Mr. Jordan In San Francisco. TEACHERS MAY DRAW DOWN ANNUITY FEES.

Senator Knowland has voiced the wishes of a. number of people in this State who are members of teachers' annuity associations, in Senate bill No. 420, which he has introduced. This measure enables members of such societies, where no annuities are paid to annuitants, to underdraw from those societies and entitles them to a refunding of, all the money which they have paid into the concern. This refunding Is to take place sixty days after the passage of the act.

DAIRY TEACHERS CRITICISE THE BERKELEY QUARTERS. News from Berkeley received here today shows that those who are in charge of the Dairy School at that placd are satisfied that the accommodations for that arm of the Univer sity are inadequate and that a place, better adapted to the purpose or the school, must be provided. This has given hope to the San Mateo people who are fighting to secure the school that they will be able to secure the prize. Professor Major of Berkeley, who has charge of the school has telegraphed that he will appear before the Dairy Committee here tomorrow night. YOLO COUNTY IN FAVOR OF DIARY SCHOOL.

This morning the Assembly Committee on Dairies reported in favor of appropriating $40,000 for the establishment of a State Dairy School in Yolo county, which place offers forty acres as a site for the school. THEO. GIER LOOKING AFTER LEGISLATION. Theodore Gier, the well known wine merchant of Oakland; and a couple of friends came here this evening and had a talk with the Governor, by whom he was received in a very cordial man ner. Mr.

Gier made Inquiries from legislators as regards the bill of Lew is of Pasadena, which provides for an amendmept of the law which will en able County Supervisors to impose a license tax upon liquor dealers within cities and towns as well as In the coun try districts. This amendment Was stricken irom tne statute two years ago. Mr. Gier made inquiries about a number of other bills in vari ous people in Alameda county are in terested and stated that before the close of the session the representative commercial bodies of Oakland would seek relief "of various kinds at the hands of the Legislature. The decoration which Mr.

Gier has received from the German Emperor, which he had with him, was greatly admired by the gentleman's friends here. CANT SWAP WIFE'S CLOTHES FOR WHISKEY. Assemblyman Prescott of Redlands in a bill. No. 634.

which he has Intro duced, wishes to prevent drunkards, when-they, have spent, all their own money, from exchanging their own or their family's clothing or Jewelry for liquor. For that reason his bill makes! it an offense for liquor dealers to dis pense their wares for anything save lawful money or the United states. WALSH EXPEDITES PASSAGE OF RECLAMATION. Assemblyman Walsh has had substl SACRAMENTO, Feb. 4.

R. B. Tappan, the City Justice of Alameda, wants to be retained in his present official position and for this purpose had recourse to two expedients and resolved upon a third to liable him to attain his end. He went before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate and stated his case. He also had Introduced into the House by Assemblyman Mott and Into the Upper House by Senator Lukens a bill abolishing the office of Recorder of Alameda, which latter office the Trustees of the Island city say, renders superfluous the office of City Justice, the Incumbent of which is Judge The committee continued the matter for a week, at which time the president of the Board of Trustees of Alameda will be expected to appear before the committee to show, why Tappan should be deprived of his position.

A PETITION. For the purpose of offsetting the possible' effect of the president's appearance before the committee, Tappan will circulate a petition for the business men of Alameda to sign and will file It with the committee, showing that the mercantile people of Alameda are willing that he should remain In office. TAYLOR CHANGES THE LAW. Tappan told a story that impressed nearly all the members of the committee in his behalf, and In it paid some attention to ex-State Senator Taylor, a brother of the man who now fills the Re corder's office in Alameda. In 1890, Tappan declared that Alameda was entitled to a Recorder and a City Justice.

In the same year, Taylor, as City Attorney, induced the Legislature to amend the law so as to limit Alameda's supply of judges to a Recordershlp. In 1901, when Taylor was a State Senator, he induced the Legislature to again amend the law, making it read as it read in 1890, allowing Alameda both a Recorder and City Justice. RECORDER TAYLOR RESIGNS. Then Senator Taylor's brother, who at the time was Recorder, ran for City Jus-tlcel Tappan ran also. Before running, Tappan delares.

Recorder Taylor signed ah agreement with" the Trustees that, if elected City Justice, he would consent to a reduction of the salary of Recorder to one dollar a month or year, so that he might thus occupy both offices at a cosfc to Alameda of little more than the cosj of one. Tappan also declared that Ref corder Taylor, as such, placed his resignation in the hands of the Trustees. In his race against Taylor, Tappan says he got 1300 votes and Taylor ,700 votes. The latter still holds on as Recorder, and his term Will not expire until next April. TAPPAN'S APPEAL FOR HELP.

Tappan asked to be retained because the law was just; he had resided In Alameda forty-five years; had 'practiced law twenty-one years; he satisfied the require ments of the statute thai. In cities of 10,000 inhabitants and upwards only lawyers should fill the office the people wanted him as Justice, and. If sustained, when he got his civil practice the office would cost Alameda only J40 a montly A LAWYER NEEDED. Tappan furthen told of 2 cases which had been brought by upscrupuolus shark c611ectors in the Recorder's court whjeh had occasioned the greatest annoyance to poor and Innocent defendants, on Insignificant charges only, nearly all were dismissed. This, he said, showed that there ought to be a lawyer on the Justice's bench.

He would see that no suit would be filed that the costs were not provided and shut out such debasing practice. The committee was disposed to defer to Senator Knowland's wishes in the premises. The Senator saia ne aia not like to-'have the matter assume a political aspect. He preferred the bill suggested by the Trustees, and then It waa decided to call the Trustees president to the Capitol. NEW GRANITE HOTEL FOR YO-SEMITE VALLEY.

Indications at present are that the new hotel which will be erected in Yosemlte Valley will have only $150,000 appropriated for it, owing to the straitened condition of the finances of the State at the present time. This is even a nwe liberal sum than many people thought would be available, for the reason that appropriations at this Legislature will be difficult to ob-f tain. This sum, too, will not be available at one time. It will be paid In installments and with this arrangement, the gentlemen representing the Yosemlte Commission were pleased, because of the assurance by the Finance Committee of tha Senate that better terms at this time could not be given them. The agreement the committee to recommend an (approprlatlon in Itself was an admission that a modern and capac ious hotel was a desideratum In Yosemlte.

The gentlemen who appeared before the committee wer4e Frank Short and J. J. Lermen of San Francisco, the latter secretary of the Yosemlte Commission. Mr. Lermen showed that in recent year the Increase In the number of visitors to the park had been enormous.

Last year, owing to the lack of accommodation In the wonderland, over 1000 tourists had to be turned away. A larger and more modern hotel was an absolute necessity. It was finally agreed that a substlute measure would be introduced and that the total allowance would be about $150,000. Of this amount, $25,600 would be made available by the first of next July, $75,000 on the first of next January and $50,000 a year from next The proposed structure. It is thought, will be built out of the rough granite which is to be found In the valley.

The impression obtains that an appropriation of the kind mentioned will go through both Houses early and be approved by the Governor. COMMEND MANAGEMENT OF DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND. The Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds of the House, which visited, among other institutions, the asylum of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind of Berkeley this morning filed its report regarding that institution. The report was written by Assemblyman J. IV.

Dougherty of San Juan, and was subscribed to by all the other members of the committee, among whom was Assemblyman Bates of Alameda. After describing the appearance of the several departments and the methods employed In instructing the Inmates. -the report has this to say about the appropriation asked for and the manner in which the institution is managed under the Board of Directors of whom George W. Reed of Oakland Is president: A8YLUM. Jan 29.

'Your committee JOHN A. was secretary of the company, and Mr. Van. Eastland superintendent and acting manager. It had for presidents during that time, Anthony Chabot, James Freeborn, Governor H.

H. Halght, W. W. Crane, and J. West Martin.

In 1884 Mr. Eastland assumed the presidency and John A. Britton was made secretary of the company, which position he held until his election as president In 1899. Mr. Van Eastland, who had been connected with the company since 1867, died September 8, 1894, and was succeeded by Mr.

Britton in that capacity in conjunction with his duties as secretary, and given the title of general managey Mr. Joseph G. Eastland died November 23, 1895, and was succeeded as president by John W. Coleman, who, at that time, was president of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company. Mr.

Coleman died January was succeeded by D. E. Martin, who resigned in July, 199, and was suc- hv Mr. 'RrltJ-nn. In the year 1876 gas works were established fn the towns of Berkeley and Alameda, gas being supplied both those places as now from the central station in Oakland.

The company has throughout its long years of service to the public endeavored to" make the price at which gas and electricity was sold the lowest that could reasonably be afforded considering the costs of material and labor, and voluntary reductions from tle first rate Of $7.50 per thousand for gas and 25 cents "per thousand watts for electricity, to the present rates of $1.25 for fuel and $1.50 for illuminating gas and electricity, to as low as 6 cents for Illuminating, have been made. In the matter of city light ing the company has supplanted all the gas lamps which were first Introduced, by electric arcs, and the record of payments made by the city proves that today in its public lighting Oakland Is the cheapest lighted city on the Pacific Coast. In March, the proposition was made to the stockholders of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company by the California Gas and Electric Corporation, offering to pay to the stockholders for their stock $70.00 per "share. with the additional amounts of better ments which might accrue until the op tion to purchase the stock was exercised; notice was given by the cor poration mentioned to the stockhold ers or tne oaKiana company on Jan uary 15, 1903, and the property of the Oakland company will be transferred to the new corporation on March 16, 1903 In that transfer nothing but good will result to the people of Oak land, as there will' be an Immediate cheapening of the rates for gas, both for fuel and lighting, and also a very material cheapening of the price for electric current for power purposes, it being the Intention of the new management to make Oakland a central point for manufacturing purposes In "bringing the power of the mountains to the sea," so that Inducements wlli be held out to the municipal authorities of this city to the encouragement of manufacturing enterprises upon our water Is' ftlso. the intention of the new management to meet demand in the' district controlled by -it for both light, heat and power, as it realises fully the splendid growth which is certain to ensue in the near future of the district which it controls, both In conpmerclal.

manufacturing and residential sense. In no respect will the policy which has made the Oakland company so popular a corporation be changed. Mr, Britton will retain the presidency and management of the Oakland company, besides acting as the general manager of 'the corporation -which has diversified interests throughout- the State, suplying as it does gase and electric eurrent in fifteen counties and oper ating twenty-one local corporations supplying gas and electricity; power for street railways in Sacramento, and the business of the Bay Counties Power Company, which has been a wholesale distributor of long distance transmission of electric current from i Yuba, Butte and Nevada counties. Mr. John Martin and Mr: E.

J. De Sabla of San Francfsco have been the leading spirits in the oiyanizatlon of this stupendous enterprise, which has been looked upon so favorably by the financial world of California that the entire financing of the proposition was made In the city of San Francisco, the banks of that city underwriting all of the securities of the corporation. This consolidation has brought to every city and town wherein its property Interests lie, cheapenlrig of light, heat and power, with a certainty of a continuance of reductions until such a minimum rate Is reached as wil pay only a reasonable return upon the actual Invested aggregate capital of the companies forming the combination. Mr. R.

R. Colgate of New York City, who. was instrumental in the promotion and financing oft the Bay Counties Power Company, will be the president of the organization, and Messrs. Martin and De Sabla the vice-presidents. The city of Oakland welcomes the capital which this organization with the'assurance given as to cheapening of the commodities which it will supply, it may be confidently stated that an increased value will be given to Oakland as a place of residence and for business and manufacturing purposes.
