SAYS DOUBIE TELEPHONE
SYSTEM IS A NUISANCE
(Frotn the Sncramento (Cab) Record
Cm.. n, December. 1!K.)
Alameda Daily Times: Secretary Rus--eli
of the chamber of commerce now
deii'is that lo- favors two telephone sys-
t' mis f'ir Alameda. In his new position,
the Tunes is f the opinion that Mr.
Resell is taking a stand for the best
i nt en-is of Alameda. As a matter of
jt.-i't. a double telephone system has
ewr it lias been introduced, Sacra
mento, fi.r example, was for years
.-.fflicted with a d'oible service, which
i it.'itnl every fniiimercial house nf

telephone ser ice in Sacramento was
immediately improved in all ways.
SENATOR OFF
FOR CAPITOL!
Chamberlain to Take Up
Duties of New Position
at Once-Session Probable!
SA LKM, Or., Feb. 27. Governor
C'lamberlain resigned today to become
I'nited States senator, his resignation to
take effect nt midnight, February 2H.
The instrument was placed in the hands
of his private secretary, M is. ('. S.
Sheldon, who will deliver it to Secre
tary of State Ilenson1 who will place it
on file- March 1. '
The governor completed his remaining
work thin morning and boarded the car
for Portland shortly beforo noon. Un
less present plans fail, ho will leave for
Washington Sunday night and be sworn
iu March . He will ti;ke up his duties
immediately and will taku his seat iu
the extra session to by called by Taft.
Governor Henson will take office Mon
day. Takes Office at Onco.
Governor Chamberlain will appear iu
Washington to take his oath of office
as Failed States aenator for Oregon
Mi.rch o. lit will be in Now York
March 12 to appear as one of the speak
ers before the civic, forum on the eve
ning of that day, having been invited
to make an address there by Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, formerly of Portland,
but now the head of the civic forum.
The governor was in Portland this
afternoon straightening out his office
work iu order that lie might leave for
the east.
Nothing is yet known definitely as
lo whether there will be a spociul ses
sion of the legislature. It is probable
1 hat such a session, if called would
be convened March 0, one week from
Tii'-sdny next. Mr. Benson has not as
yet decided whether such a session will
be called, but will be guided by the de
velopmeiits of the next few days.
Normal Schools Bob Up.
Should a session be called it is evi
dent that the normal school question
will again be brought into Die legisla
tor.', as this has been hinted by differ
ent members of the legislature who have
discussed the probability of a session.
Il is the current heli -f that the friends
of the normal schools would force the
friends of the defective appropriation
lull into line ami bring about nt least
an appropriation for the maintenance of
th three normal schools at Monmouth,
. Villain! ami Weston, until the end of
tho present school year, if not for the
ensuing two years. Should this be done
it would be up to Governor llenson
either to approve the bills so passed or
to veto them when lliey were seal to
him for his signature.
Circuit Court.
In l he matter of the petition of John
Harrington for writ of habeas corpus;
nider marie to produce John Harrington
in court at to o'clock for hearing.
The experience- of Sacramento has
been that of other communities where
double service has been installed. Santa
Clara county suffered from the effects
of it preciselv as did Sacramento, but
long ago the two systr ms were merged,
and Santa Clara relieved of its difficul
ties. Then- is no good reason why Ala
meda county should be made to suffer
the cxpericneeH of Sacramento, Santa
Clara and other communities that hare
t ried t he double system, The double
system has failed nt the experimental
stage, and f nun the nature ,,f t hings
always will fail.
As has been set forth in the news
columns of t his paper, the merchants
( Park street are. with two or three
exceptions, appoved to the double serv
ice. Tlo-v iimbablv represent the pub-
I iic oninion of A la no-da on the ubiect.
F'ir the (test interests ( the community
the city council should go slow in con
sidering any applicnt inn for a second
telephone fraiichii.
