DR. MURTY ON TOE WAR PATH.

innianapolls, Feb. «. —Secertary Hurty of the state iioara or health, protected today agaln»t the proposed amendment in th ♦ -to he nate laboratory bill, which pas—d in the acuate providing an appropriation of ss,Oi>o to establish the laboratory, and *” * an appropriation of slo o- 1 a p-ar for malntenan- <•. Th« < bill provided that the laboratory should be in charge of the secretary of the state ; huard The committee on health, medfßne and vital statistics in the house has reported it for passage with an I amendment taking the laboratory out of the 1 a’ftls of the secretary : nd placing It with the board, and also providing that members of the board shall receive >3OO a year salary. The members of tbeuriioard serve without any pay and arc not now asking for any. Secretary Hurty says he does not mind that the amendment does not provide that the secretary shall have charge of the laboratory, but he thinks that the bill ought to designate autholty to some one. He is convinced that the amendment is veiled effort to knock out the bill entirely. This will be difficult, however, as the woman's clubs thAughout the state have taken a decided stand In favor of pure food legislation and this bill Is in that line. The friends and foes of the merchants' garnishee bill began lining up today for the first test of strength on the floor of the senate. This bill Is vory odious to organized labor, and therefore the Republican and Democratic leaders are afraid to take hold of It. A substitute has been offered providing that only "dead-beats" may be garnisheed, but the opponents of the bill are afraid that it will not be possible for the courts to discriminate fairly In defining what a "dead beat" is.

the entire state are making a systematic effort to get this bill through. They gge simply flooding the senators with letters urging and demanding that the bill be defeated. Senator DeHaven of Kokomo says he received nearly 400 letters in two days from merchants on this subject. But the laboring ipen arc also wideawake, as they have a powerful lobby at the statehouse mid hotels, morning, noon and night. i) r - The Indianapolis Sunday baseball 4)111 may meet defeat in the senate, although Manager Watkins of the American association club is working hard for its passage. A majority of the business men of the city are also openly for it, and organized labor Is doing what ft can. But the ministers are up in arms, although the bill says specifically that games may only be played after 2 in the afternoon. Members who spent Sunday at home said when they returned today that the church people had urged them not to support the bill further. The friends of the bill have strong hopes of its success, but they were alarmed today. They will try and rush the bill. It is understood that the governor will sign it. The big printing and publishing houses of the state have a lobby here fighting Senator Wampler’s bill which provides for a division of the county printing so that the country printers may have a chance to bid successfully. Under the present law it Is almost impossible for a small concern to get any county work. The county seat newspaper men are working for the bill, and they will give the big fellows a run for their money in the house. Almost every member Is receiving letters and telegrams from their homo paper urging them to support the bill

ALL-DM SESSION This Is What the Senate Will Probably Come to This Week. Business Pushing Along to That Point Where Forenoons Will Se Inadequate. . — The Half-Day Plan Has Given the • „ Committees Relief from Indianapolis, Feb, 2. —The senate resumed business at 10 this morning with a majority of the members present. The house did not meet until 2 ti'is afternoon Tite senate has boon at work nearly every morning at 10 since the session began, but it has not held any afternoon sessions, like the house, ft is probable that it will begin holding them this week, although Lt.Gov. Gilbert is a strong Iwliever in spending a half day in session and the other half In the committees The plan has certainly worked admirably, as the senate could dispose of all its bill- within two or thn e days’ n. The afternoon session plan results in night committee meetings, which are always tires me and never well attended. In the senate today the special Mjr-b.-r <>i busii,.-s. was Senator H voting machines in counties having a city of 10,000 population or over. There will be an effort tb pass a bill applying to the entire state'. There were a number of unimportant new bills in the senate. The house took the third reading of bills and a number were passed. There were some new bills, but since the "ripper" fight ended there has been nothing of so much gewal public interest. The legislature is about half gone and over 500 bills have been presented. Half of them have been killed, and over twenty-five havy passed both the house and senate. Separately the two branches have probably passed seven-! ty-five bills, but not more than twenty-: five have been concurred in.

VICTORY MUTE Sultan of Morocco Puts the Pretender and His Army ou| of Business.' Bu Hamara's Claim to I n vu» 111 »y Has Been Most Effectually Exploded. Entire Following of the Pretender Either Slain or Captured Outside of Fez. Tangier, Feb. 2.—The sultan’s troops have utterly routed the forces of the Moorish pretender and captured Bu Hamara himself. A special courier who arrived Sunday after making a record journey from Fez. brought this news. He reports that at daybreak last Thursday the army of the sultan, commanded by the war minister. El Menebhi, attacked the pretenders position ana inflicted a complete defeat on his following, at tfce SMM urn,. < anturlng Bu Hamara. Another runner who has arrived here from Fez confirms the news of tfce defeat of the rebels, but says that the report of the capture of the pretender is incorrect. He adds that It is uncertain whether Bu Hamara's body was among the number slain. The sultan’s victory was absolute..almost the entire following of the pretender being either slain or captured. His camp, provisions and ammunition, were tek<p and the artillery which was lost by the sultan's army in rfcj 23 was re «Aptured. Even if Bu Hamara escaped it Is hopeless for him to seek to retrieve his defeat as his claim that be Is a saint is exploded. The details regarding the battle are meager, but it is known the camp was surprised and rushed at dawn. , A circumstantial report fc current Uns city that Bu Hamara was ShH ‘ H Fez iU a case auil exposed to public derision, it is impossible to wcertaln the truth of this rumor The sultan s victory is attributed more to his bribery of the tribes than to mill ry tactics.
