is VIAGDOOUQH theater tzzvj: No Objection Raised to This City's New Instrument of Government. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18. The Assembly has ratified the new Oakland charter with a unanimous vote. This Is the treatment which was accorded the measure In the upper house, In which place there were present at the time of the ratification Councllmen Baccus and Ellsworth, who were, specially appointed as a committee for the purpose of being on hand at the time of passage.

The councllmen, however, had little to do, because there was 'no objection to the Instrument. In fact, the ratification was merely a formality required by the statute, the members of the Legislature being satisfied that the people of Oakland knew what they wanted in the way of an organic law and were willing to let them have It. When the final vote on the subject was being taken, in the Senate Senator Wolfe asked In a playful mood If the charter contained anything like the referendum and recall. The question was directed to Senator Stetson, who, howeverr did not hear it. The query was repeated by Senator Boynton.

This time it reached the ears of the senator from Oakland, who was ready with a reply as follows: "Yes, there Is a provision for the referendum and the recall in the jQakland charter HD- 'here are, too, a num-br of othev imngs which means that we are going to have our usual good government." LOCAL LEGISLATOR PUTS III THREE Callaghan Wants Street Car Transfers Good for All Day. SACRAMENTO. Jan. IS. Assemblyman Callaghan of Oakland has introduced several bills which will be of interest to people in all parts of the state.

The first of these measures provides for the use of street railway transfers throughout the day instead of during a few minutes after they have been received Uy the patrons of the company. The proposed enactment sets forth that all transfers issued by any street railway company in any city or town in the state shall be honored by the issuing company and entitle the party to whom the same are Issued to pass over the line of the issuing company any time of the day on which the transfers are issued. Violation of this act Is punishable by a. forfeiture of $100 to the person aggrieved, to be secured by a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction. EXCEPTION TO SURETIES.

'Callaghan has Introduced another btll relating to the taking of exception to sureties. It provides that within two days after the service of a copy of the affidavit and undertaking, the defendant may notice tothe sheriff that he excepts to the sufficiency of the sureties. If he fails to do so he is deemed to have waived all objection to them. When the defendant excepts the sureties must Justify In like manner as upon bail upon arrest, and the sheriff is responsible for the sufficiency of the sureties until the objection is either waived or until they Justify. Still another bill by the same legislator provides that any trust in real property made for the purpose of securing the performance of an obligation, shall be made subject to the right of redemption as provided by law in the cases of the sale of real property upon execution, provided that the redemptioner may redeem the property from the purchaser within six months after the sale on paying the purchaser the amount of his purchase with one per cent per month up to the time of redemption.

state educational institutions in Berkeley. One of these enlarges, in a modest manner, on the -duties of the directors of the California Institute at Berkeley for the deaf, dumb nd the blind. 'I Another appropriates $6000 for a letill greater development -of the water Supply on the grounds of the University of California at Berkeley, while a- third provides for an appropriation $60,000 for the construction of a building in connection with the institute for the deaf, dumb ajid "blind to Vi nqod frr til niirnnA nf Intjtrnet- ing the students at that institution In the industrial arts. 4 Similar bills on these subjects were introduced in the senate by Senator Stetson. FAVORABLY RECOMMENDED.

The bill introduced by Senator Hans In the Senate providing for thor-rnation of sewer districts in municipalities "for the purpose of enabling the residents in those districts to assess themselves with the cost of constructing sewers in those districts, has been recommended favorably for passage by the committee on municipal corporations in the Senate, and there' is no doubt that the measure will be one of the earliest to pass through that body. This hill was rendered necessary because at the last annexation to" Oakland of Fruit vale and the territory to the east of the same, the sanitary districts which had previously Existed in that section were dissolved. The present bill is designed to enable the residents, to supply themselves With sewers which are greatly needed now because of the constantly increasing population in the annexed A similar bill has been introduced by F.

The committee'. on federal relations today reported, reeomnreTiriir.g- the passage of the resolution by Senator Sanford for, the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people. The method in this bill is the asking of Congress to call a con-jvention of states to formulate an amendment to the constitution of the nation providing for an election, of the feind referred to.

There is a constf- tutional provision that two-thirds of the states in tlv union petition Congress -To call such a convention the gathering must be called by the national legislature. It js expected that the same action on the bill will be taken by the house committee, to which itjwljl be referred, and there seems good reason to believe V.A Aartliitlnn will Vf i Vi In that event, there will remain but seven states missing from the necessary two-thirds required for the petition to compel Congress to call the convention -to draft the amendment which will enable the pood le to elect their national senator. Senator San-ford is of the opinion that the example of California will have a beneficial effect on the states which have as ret taken no action in the premises. INDORSES ARMORY.

Governor Johnson informed THE TRIBUNE this morning that instructions had been given to the State engineer to proceed with the construction of the proposed new armory for the National Guard of California in San Francisco. 'At the last session' of Deglsla-ture $420. (fOO was appropriated for this purpose. "JVith this amount, the site was to be purchased and the structure Ao be erected, though, at tho same time, the citizens of the metropolis contributed $60,000 from their own means. (There has been Quite an amount of delay in forwarding the project because of the wrangle which arose over the selection of the site.

For a long time," there was a desire on the part of interested parties to locate the proposed armory near the northern extremity of Van Ness avenue in that 'city. There Was opposition to the location, however because the site1 was not connected with the heart of the city by means of a well established street railway service. (At length there was a move in the southern part of the city and Just toward the close of last year a deal was closed by which" the State came into possession of a lot at the Intersection of Mission and Fourteenth streets, which, before the fire, had been occupied by the Southern Pacific Hospital, wlilen was destroyed in the great disaster of 1906, the site be--Ing purchased for $40,000. SELECT SITE. The selection of the site and trfe con struction of the building was committed by the last legislature to a commission comprising, among others, the governor.

Assemblyman George Fitzgerald has received eevrak communications from the Santa Fe Improvement Club of 5407 Grove street, Oakland, one of which favored -the division of Alameda county. The club holds that such a division would have an economical result, the western part of the county to be retained with all its municipalities. This, it Is claimed, would do away with the-neceeslty of moving the county peat, maintaining road distric-ts and providing for other heavy expenditures. Tho club also urges the members of the legislature to vote foi the repeal of the law providing voting machines on the ground that those contrivances are not practical, that from them has been obtained an inaccurate expression of the will be the people and that their further use' is undesirable. Tho club also desires the Alameda county" delegation's help in acting some of the benefits of the proiosj good roads wliieh are to be built with the $13,000,000 bonds voted by the for Alameda county.

SHUBERTSDEMAND BELASCD'S MONEY Theatrical Managers Sue Playwright for Alleged Violation of Contract. NEW TORK," Jan. 18. Papers were served Monday niRht by Jake and Leo Shubort in two suits to collect from David Belasco $450,000 damages which the Shubert.s allege they have sustained by reason of breach of certain jgreements entered into more than five years ago between themselves and Belasco.

Judge Dittenhoefer has been instructed to enter an appearance for Belasco and to defend the two actions of the Shuberts. A little more than five years aso Belasco entered into an agrfw-ment to play Shubert theaters. When the Shu-berts entered' irito an alliance with the theatrical syndicate, Bela.sco was not a party to the but continued to play the theaters controlled by the. Shubert firm. A year or so ago Heir decided upon a change.

His former differences with the syndicate were patched up without discredit either to the syndicate or to Belasco, and his arrangements with the Shu-berts were in a measure terminated forthwith. The Shuberts now make the alleged discovery that Belasco has charged them a greater percentage for his productions than he had charged the theatrical syndicate years before. In their petition they allege that Belasco told them he had been getting certain terms with the syndicate which they, the Shuberts, were willing to meet, but they now find they had been deceived. The second suit Is based on the tour of Blanche Bates over the western territorv, in which the Shuberts had theaters and set3 up a violation of contract.
