PKOBE THE MAJORITY

SCHOOL BOARD TO BG INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. Green-e Smith Will Also Come in for a Share of the Inquisition Committee Appointed. Just before adjournment, yesterday afternoon, Speaker Adams announced the following gentlemen as a committee to investigate the affairs of the School Board of the city of Indianapolis: Mr. Moore, of Putnam, chairman; Mr. Pettit, of Wabash; Mr. Remy, of Bartholomew; Mr. Bobilya, of Allen, and Mr. Gregg, of Porter. The resolution calling for the Investigation had been reported favorably by the Indianapolis committee during the afternoon, and the Speaker showed a desire to promptly comply with the spirit of the resolution, by naming the committee to investigate within an hour after the report had been made. Mr. Moore will be given the opportunity to conduct the examination, which so many citizens of Indianapolis believe will develop further scandal. The gentlemen will hold a meeting within a few days and determine the date for beginning the Investigation. Greene Smith will also be required to bring his books before an investigating committee, composed . of members of both houses, and explain how he made his enormous income while Attorney-general of the State. The office of State Treasurer during the last four years is also to be inquired into. This action was determined upon at the afternoon session. In the morning the House spent much time in discussing the Miller-Bowers contest, but when a vote was taken at ,noon, on a resolution to refer the entire squabble back to the committee on elections, the Speaker found, much to his disgust, that there was no quorun;, present. In the afternoon he took ' steps to prevent members strolling away from the chamber and embarrassing business, by having the doorkeepers lock the doors. He also spoke in rather strong, but courteous, words, calling the attention of careless members to the duty they owed , the State and their-constituents in attending the sessions, REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. House Has a Busy Day Bowers Contest Up Again. The ways and means committee recommended, In the morning, the passage of a deficiency bill giving Supreme Court Clerk Hess and deputies salaries which, they have been unable to obtain on account of a lack of an appropriation. Spitler's highway bill and his taxation measure were indefinitely postponed. These reports were concurred in, but when Mr. Stakebake's mortgage indebtedness bill was reached, and indefinite posteponement recommended, the author objected. Mr. Allen, of the committee, stated the reasons for killing the bill, explaining that a deduction of mortgage indebtedness would throw down the bars to all sorts of taxation evils. The House, however, refused to concur in the report and the report and the bill was held for second reading. " Mr. Remy's greenback taxation bill went, to the second stage in legislation, while Bohannon's tax bill and that of Mr. Rosa, providing for the stamping of promissory notes, were killed. The Soldiers' Home bill, with the amendment cutting the appropriation to $75,000, was filed for second reading, after Mr. Stakebake expressed his satisfaction, providing the committee was to follow the general policy of making cuts. The judiciary committee had a large batch of bills to report, one of the most important of which was the one to investigate Greene Smith and the State treasury. Bills by Mr. Harris, of Hamiiton, and Mr. Nicholson concerning the powers of justices of the peace were indefinitely postponed. The bill of Mr.. Van Arsdel, preventing coroners from holding Inquests where there is no sign of violence, was recommended for passage and the report was concurred in. The Greene Smith bill, as was expected, brought out a dash of politics from the Democratic side of the House. The Judiciary committee had an amendment giving the Democrats representation on the investigating committee. Mr. Stotsenburg had a minority report on which he spoke, the report urging that the investigation of the offices of Treasurer, Auditor, Secretary of State, Attorney-general and Bureau ' of Statistics from 1856 to 1894 be included. Mr. Pettit said the last General Assembly or the one of four years ago had the opportunity of Investigating the offices when held by Republicans.Had there been any suspicion, the Democratic Legislature would certainly have investigated. He thought the minority report was simply designed to hamper any inquiry Into the administration of Greene Smith, of which there was so much public scandal. ' The minority report requires the committee on investigation to inform the General Assembly of what it has found before Feb. 15. A motion to lay the minority report on the table was carried by a vote of 56 to 17. ' Harrison, of Shelby, made the second at tempt from the Democratic side to weight down the proposed inquiry. He had a substitute embodying the same points that were in the Stotsenberg mintority report. Mr. Robinson expressed the belief that a great deal of buncombe wis being indulged In. The Democratic Legislature had ample opportunity to examine the books of Re-, publican officials. "I do not charge," continued Mr. Robinson, "that there is anything wrong in the accounts of Greene Smith. Yet I believe any law or construction of law that allows a man holding a State office for four yeans to get enormously rich should be changed. This committee will make recommendations and we will know officially of any abuses that may exist In the State offices." GREENE SMITH'S CASE. The roll was called on the amendment of Mr. Harris, of Shelby, and It was lost; 57 ayes 11 noes. The majority report ' was finally concurred in and the investigation of the great, fee-grabber Is assured. The hour for considering the Miller-Bowers contest having arrived, the clerk read the two reports from the committee on election, and immediately upon the conclusion thereof, Mr. Merrltt arose and spoke for a half hour, and was apparently just as fresh as ever in his line of argument when Mr. Leedy suggested that the gentleman was digressing too far from the subject In hand. Several citations were made. 4 Mr. Reynolds spoke in favor of the minority report. Mr. Crozier, chairman of the elections committee, said he could not answer the argument of the gentleman from Lagrange In the same eloquent language, but he though! he could present a few facts to show that Bowers, the Democrat, should be seated, on the face of the returns. Bowers, he urged, claimed not to have had sufficient notice of contest. The poor farm vote in the contested district had been looked into cursorily, but it had been insisted that because a man was so unfortunate as to take refuge in a county asylum he should not lose his manhood, his right to vote. The committee determined not to act further on the matter of pauper voters. All the disputed ballots had been brought to the committee by the clerk of the Dearborn court and passed upon, one by one. The statement of the committee was unanimous when preparation was made to draw . up the report. Mr. Crozier had been surprised at the presentation of a minority finding. He detailed the inspection of each of the disputed ballots and urged that if the three ballots referred to by the minority be brought before the House all the ballots should be so presented. Mr. Stutesman had a substitute referring the contest back to the full committee on elections, with instructions to report before Feb. 11. After Mr. Mcintosh spoke for a few minutes, Mr. Robinson moved the previous question. Mr, Howe, of Morgan, who is a blacksmith and little given to affaire of the forum, surprised the members of the House bv the speech he made in favor of seating Bowers. It was eloquent and argumentative; a better effort tnan many of those made by lawyers of the House on previous occasions. When the vote was called on the Stutesman substitute, the vote was: 40 ayes. 25 noes. This showed a lack of quorum and the House promptly adjourned till 2 o'clock. CONTEST STILL UNSETTLED. Immediately after the roll call in the afternoon, the presence of seventy-two members giving a quorum, the business of the morning session was taken up and the roll called on the Stutesman substitute, which was adopted by a 43 to 25 vote. The election committee will begin to f--over the contest. - '.... A resolution of Mr. Terhune's. that the

hour of assembling be changed from 9 o'clock In the morning until 10, was lost by a 50 to 18 vote. The report of the cities and towns committee on Leyden's Senate bill No. 104 was concurred in. At the present time a sinking fund of 517,000 at New Albany has no custodian, commissioners falling to qualify on account of tho excessive bond required by the present law, which makes the commissioners file a bond of double the Indebtedness of the city. The indebtedness of New Albany is $375,000, which would necessitate a bond of $750,000. The commissioners were unwilling to give such a large bond to guarantee the safe keeping of- $17,000. The Leyden bill changed the amount of the bond to' $100,000, to be increased when the sinking fund grows. Mr. Stotsenberg asked for a suspension of the constitutional rules, which was granted, and the measure advanced and placed on its passage. The vote on final passage was: Ayes, C6; noes, 1. Mr. Adams spoke sharply when the roll call on the Senate bill showed that the quorum threatened to breaic. He ordered the doorkeepers to lock the doors to head off members who wanted to wander out in the corridors. The members were sent to the Capitol to transact State business and the Speaker thought more care and consideration should be given to this business. It took a skirmish of several minutes to get the quorum together. The chair announced that it proposed to have no more committee meetings during a session of the House Mr. Allison's bill, concerning Indictment In certain felony cases, and Mr. MoGeath's bill amending the criminal law, were sent to oblivion and Mr. Bohannon's bill, prohibiting the killing of quail till 1900, met a like fate. Other of the bills killed were those of Newhouse, concerning descent; Floyd's, giving towns the right to regulate natural gas rates; Bohannon's, fixing the legal rate of interest at 6 per cent. a higher rate to be considered usury; Griffin's, defining rape in certain cases; O'Brien's, imposing additional duties on corporations) hereafter incorporated; Howe's, concerning taxation of town lots. The report favoring legalizing the act of Shoals was concurred in. The bill is designed! to make good school bonds issued by the town. It was passed, under suspension; of rules, without opposition. Mr. Cardwill's joint resolution looking to machine voting met the favor of the House and will be acted upon soon. A substitute was offered for the Stakebake bill, giving wives of inebriated and incapable husbands the right to (transfer their interest In real estate. The substituted bill covered the same ground, but was broader, and met the indorsement of Mr. Stakebake. The Holloway bill, licensing stationary engineers, was recommended after striking out the emergency clause. Mr. Stakebake's constitutional amendment, taking from the Legislature power to relieve public officers, that have lost money, came before the House in a favorable report. The landlord and tenant bill of Mr. Thomas was favorably reported, and so was that of Mr. Gregg, permitting appeals from Appellate to Supreme Court in certain cases. Mr. Merritt's bill concerning public offenses was pigeon holed, while that oi Mr. Longwell, concerning proceedings in civil cases was recommended. BILLS REPORTED FAVORABLY. The other measures reported favorably by the committees were as follows: By Stakebake Concerning proceedings in civil cases. Garriott Fixing the term of court in the Forty-second judical district.

The call of committees for reports concluded the work of the afternoon session of the House. -

BAKER'S CIGARETTE BILL. Tendency to Smother Its Short Life -with Amendments. ' In the Senate, yesterday, there were bills on second readmg, bills on third reading, committee reports and new bills. The committee on finance recommended the indefinite postponement of Senator Boyd's bill, providing for the treatment of inebriates at public expense, but, at the request of Senator Boyd, action on the report, of the committee was withheld to allow a hearing to a committee of ladies who wished to advocate the passage of the bill. A few minor amendments were suggested to the bill of Senator McManus, providing for the appointment of police matrons, and, as amended, the bill wa3 recommended for passage. The committee on banks made a favorable report on Senator Stuart's bill, providing penalties for officials of any State bank who receive deposits after the bank Is known to be insolvent The committee on Judiciary presented a favorable report on the joint resolution of Senator O'Brien, providing for an Increase in the number of members of the Supreme Court, and the committee on labor favorably reported on Senator Stuart's bill providing for attorney fees where an employe has to sue for wages. Senator Baker's bill, regulating the sale of cigarettes, was called up for second reading, and there was at once manifested a disposition to amend it out of existence. After a number of changes had been proposed the bill was referred to Senator Baker as a committee of one to embody the proposed changes and present his bill again. Senator Baker's bill, establishing a Superior Court in Madison county was engrossed, as were the two bills of Senator Kern, giving the Police Judge of this city jurisdiction in criminal cases, and increasing the salary of the criminal judge of Marlon county to $4,000 a year. At the afternoon session there were some more committee reports. The judiciary committee reported a substitute for Senator Sweeney's bill, requiring juries to render special verdicts when demanded by either party to a suit, and there was a majority and minority report fnom the committee on agriculture on 1 Senator Holler's bill providing for the crution of a State veterinary board. For the

Information of the Senate the bill, with the two reports was ordered printed. NEW SENATE BILLS. , The following new bills were Introduced: By Senator Boord Appropriating $7,400 to pay the claim of Mrs. Sarah May.

Two carloads of people from Seymour and Brownstown, Jackson county, came to town yesterday to do battle before 'the Senate and House judiciary. comml ttees. . The inhabitants of these two towns are stirred almost to a fever heat Over the county seat . war, which has been renewed since the assembling of the present Legislature. Brownstown is the county seat, but Seymour wants' to wrest the honor away from it. The judiciary committees intended to have a meeting in one of the smaller rooms at the Statehouse, but when the Jackson county crowd loomed up flight was taken to the Agriculture room, which will seat several hundred people. The room was crowded. The committee informed the two factions that it would Jlstfed-nfo .'argument from two men on each aide; and in line with this, Capt. J. H. Balsley, the Mayor of Seymour, opened the argument for that town, B. H. Burrell and David Kockner following with Brownstown views, and William Shields closing- for the Seymour folk. It was 'the argument of the Brownstown people that the removal of the courthouse and Jail to Seymour would be hurtful to the interests of the county. They thought the matter was settled for all time when the courthouse was constructed at Brownstown in 1870. It T-as claimed that Seymour had been losing cs grip as a town since the railroad shops were removed from there. Brownstown only claims-l,;' -while Seymour has a population, of. 7,200.' -T"he representatives from the latter place claim that in 1870 there was a very fair prospect of removing the county seat to Seymour, had it not been for a little occurrence. One ofthe County Commissioners who was in favor of the move was an old German, and it is said that the Brownstown people, having learned that he was about to cast his vote in favor of removal, called upon him en masse one night, shot his dog and scared him so badly that he resigned the next day, thus allowing the county auditor, who was a Brownstown man, to name his successor. It - was insisted that Brownstown is two miles from a railroad station and not convenient for the majority oX people in' the county. A bill is now before the House authorizing the removal of the courthouse and jail, providing 60 per cent, of the people in the county favor the change. : All of the expenses of the special election are to be borne by Jackson township, in which Seymour is located. The bill requires this township to put up the I new courthouse and , jail without expense aiAj v fcv tv Hesii mi lire" yvuu t y , mc building to cost ;at least 25 'per 'cent, more than the value of those now at 'Brownstown. The Brownstown folk insist that their buildings are worth $65,000. The committees, took no action yesterday, but it 13 understood that the sentiment is in favor of recommending the bill, in order that the people of the county may have an opportunity of voting on the question. GOVERNOR MAY APPOIXT. But Would lie Compelled to Select Good Republicans. Sefsator Boyd's bill concerning benevolent .institutions, introduced yesterday, ' provides that the hospital at..the. jclty of Indianapolis shall be known as the .J'Centrali Hospital for the Curable Insane;" that the hospital at Logansport shall be known by the name, "LogansportlHospltal for the Incurable Insane;" that the hospital at .the city of Richmond shall be known by the name, "Richmond Hospital for the Incurable Insane;" that the hospital at the city of Evansville Shall be known by the name, "Evansvllle Hospital for the Incurable Insane." The bill further provides for a board of three trustees to be appointed for each by the Governor of the State, two from the party casting the highest vote at the last e'ection. The bill further provides Tnat the Governor shall have power to removte any trustee appointed by him for any cause which he may deem just and. sufficient. All such appointments and removals to be subject to the confirmation of the Senate. It defines the duties of trustees, of the superintendent - and other officers of the institutions. It provides for the transfer of incurable wards from the Central hospital t3 one of the other hospitals, and for the transfer of curable patients from the ether hospitals to the Central hospital. It fixes tho salary of the superintendent at not to exceed $2,000 per year. There are twentyone sections to the bill, and it re-enacts a part of the old law with some alignt changes. The bill makes certain acts of the 'boards of trustees misdemeanors, and fixes penalties therefor, and further provides that the boards of trustees and 'he State Board of Charities shall have freer and unrestrained access to the Institutions at all times.. It repeals all laws in conflict and has an emergency clause. It has already been pointed out by the State Board of Charities that the effect of this would be to soon fill the insane hospitals of the State with the incurably insane. There are now on file a large number of applications for admissions to. the hospitals which cannot be complied with until room is made. The law as it applies to the Central hospital permits the removal of patients whose cases are incurable, but the regulations applied to the other hospitals provide that no patient shall be discharged until cured. The present capacity of the hospitals is more than taxed, and It is pointed out that under the provisions proposed by Senator Bovd there would be still -less chance , for the treatment of acute cases which by prompt attention might be cured. ' , , . 4 NEW ALBANY'S WATER PLANT.

A Measure of. Interest to People of Indianapolis. The House ways and means committee yesterday afternoon decided to give a second wind to Mr. Cardwill's . bill, enabling the city of New Albany to purchase its own water system by the issuance of bonds secured upon the plant itself. The Indebtedness of New Albany already exceeds the 2 per cent, limit, but Mr. Cardwill believes It would be legal to Issue these bonds with a first mortgage lien upon the water plant. This effort upon the part ot A'ew Albany to control its own water system suggests to Indianapolis a possible means of placing the local system under municipal ownership, as the conditions here and at New Albany are somewhat similar, although this city has not exceeded the limit of its indebtedness. When a franchise was granted the New Albany company It was provided that the city should purchase the plant after twenty years, and an advantage may be taken ojt this provision next spring if t'lie city so deslies. Much trouble has been experienced with the water company, as the intake is from the river below the city, thus shutting C a i Isfactory sewer arraogaaaent. iix. - '. ..- .- v. ':, :

Cardwin sees no reason why a city cannot . issue bonds against a water plant on the . raffle principle that It isssues Barrett bonds, j He finds that the cities in Indiana owning j their own water plants have found them, i

profitable Investments. It is probable that the agitation over this bill of Mr. Cardwill will lead other cities in the State to apply for the same privilege which New Albany is seeking. COMMITTEES VISIT Pl'BDl'E. Some Suggestive Figures on College Incomes Shown Them. 'The legislative committee paid Its biennial visit to Purdue University yesterday. A party of fifty, including the committee and its friends, arrived at tle university at 10:15 o'clock, in time to attend the regular daily chapel exercises, where . they were warmly greeted by the several hundred students. There were no speeches, as President Smart announced that he wished the legislators to see the workings of the whole university and it would require the whole day to do so. The crowd was divided into three parties and each followed its own route over the grounds and through the buildings, witnessing the work of the students in class and laboratory. The partially restored engineering building was visited, where every machine was in motion and a large number of students were working, anu where the manual training and higher engineering work were exemplified to the delight of the visitors. . It was explained that the loss by ire amounted to $i5o,(wO,. and that, by aid of $47,5oO insurance, a loan of $j5,00O from other funds of the university, and gifts and large discounts made by manufacturers and other frienus amounting to tne restoration, as seen, nad been accompnsned. 'the once imposing iront ana niaiu portion of the buiiuing, however, is stm an unsightly pile or rums, and the committee was shown that m,000 was necessary to re d una tne structure. The immense locomotive, now in a building by itseir, was seen running at the rate of ruty miles an hour, supported on an adjustable mount, the invention of Professor Goss. The, motion of the huge machine; at such a rapd rate within four walls and yet under sueh complete control, was an impressive spectacle. ...... The eiectric laboratory was next visited, . after which the party was taken to dinner at the college boarding hall, where, atter a wholesome dinner, twenty minutes was employed in speech making, In which President Smart, Hon. J. Frank Hanly, Senators Duncan, Haggard and Ellison, and Representatives Adams, Gregg and Beeker indulged in some practical discussion of the resources and needs of the university. After dinner the farm was visited, where the dairy school was seen in operation and afterwards the departments of pharmacy, biology and chemistry were inspected by the members, while the lady contingent spent the afternoon in the industrial art department and greenhouse. The members of the committee came away with the feeling that they had gained a good knowledge of the condition of the institution. The party returned to the city last evening. i The members present were Senators Duncan, Bird, Haggard. McCutchan, Mull and Ellison, and Representatives Adams, Beeker, Buchanan, Coates, Davis, Floyd, Gar. rett, Gregg, Kamp, McGregor, Poindexter, Remington. Smith and Williams. Messrs. Bell, of the Indiana School Journal; Conner, of the Indiana Farmer; G. W. Fawcett. Clerk Lambert, Mrs. C. S. Denny and . daughters, Dr. A. W. Bray ton and daughter the son and 'daughter of Speaker Adams and others were in the company. All are enthusiastic in praise of the institution and of President Smart's work. The committees will visit the State Normal School at Terre Haute, Thursday.

The most Important bill introduced in the Senate yesterday was that of Senator McDonald to protect the wages of employes. The bill is aimed at the so-called voluntary relief associations of the Penn-. sylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio railroad companies and the' hospital system of the Big Four, all of 'which are maintained by deductions made from the wages of the employes. The bill of Senator McDonald makes it unlawful for any person, firm or corporation - to exact from an employe a contract that he will give a stipulated part of his wages monthly to maintain the institutions referred to. It is made unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to deduct from the pay of employes a per cent. Of his earnings for the creation cf a relief fund, or for the purpose of providing maintenance In case of , sickness. Any judge of any court in which a case may be brought , is authorized to declare any contract by which an employe surrenders a part of his wages as contrary to public policy, and hence null and void. The penalty affixed for the violation of the provisions of the bill by any officer of ny railroad is a fine of from two to five hundred dollars, to which may be ad did six months in Jail. BUILDING AND L6AN BILL. Senator Nevrhy'g Bill Designed to Protect the ' Borrower. . Senator Newhy's bill, introduced yesterday, amending the building and loan association laws, provides that not to exceed 8 per cent, of dues and installments shall be used for expenses; that not to exceed the legal rate of interest shall be charged for loans; that not to exceed 2 per cent, shall becharged for premiums; that not to exceed 6 per cent, interest shall be paid on certificates for paid-up stock, and the same shall be listed for taxation; that loans shall not exceed 60 per cent, of the valuation of the piece of property that is mortgaged to secure the loan. It is also provided that annual reports making a complete showing of receipts and expenditures shall be filed with the Auditor of State on the 30th of June. The bill was referred to the committee on corporations. IT WAS EXPECTED. Sirs. May's Claim for ?5,000 and Interest Again Before the Senate. Senator Boord stands as sponsor for Mrs. Sarah May's biennial bill, introduced yesterday, to reimburse Mrs. May for a claim that has been hanging fire for well on to twenty years. Mrs. May, as often hitherto explained, is the widow of Eld win May, architect af the Statehouse. In 1871 there was issued to Mrs. May a warrant for $5,000 in payment of her claim, but the warrant wats not paid for the reason that there were no funds in the treasury. Subsequent legislation was necessary to revive the warrant, but succeeding legislatures have refused to recognize the claim. Mrs. May is still in the vigor of her early prime, and she declares her intention to stay with each succeeding Legislature until she has secured satisfaction. If the Legislature has an eye to its own comfort and to the peace and quiet of future sessions It will pay the claim or Mrs. .aiay ana be rid of her. REPUBLICAN JOINT CAtCVS. Joint Committees Appointed to Consider Political Blatters. The Republican joint caucus last night was in session from 7:30 o'clock until 11, go prolonged was the discussion of various matters. The caucus had not been called for any particular measure or Hr.e of legislation, but was for the purpose of outlining a general policy. Senator Newby offered a resolution binding all Republican members to the action of the caucus in matters of legislation, but upon suggestion of Senator Newby this was amended to embrace only matters of political action. Mr. Harrison, of Elkhart, tried to have the question deferred until next Monday, but this was not deemed best. It was decided to appoint Joint committees from the caucus to consider various 'phases of legislation that might be termed politlbea GoauoiUees ta report as far as

possible to the meeting of the Joint caucus next Monday night. These committees are Metropolitan police bill Spalding. Beeker. Lambert. Ross, Harrison ot Elkhart, Shlveley, Haggard, Holler. Self and Newby. Benevolent Institutions Remy, Moore, Robinson, Merrltt, Holloway. LaFollette, Boyd. Watson, Shlveley. Bozeman. Legislative apportionment Newhouse, Mcintosh. Allen. Nicholson. Melendy. Wishard. Baker. Bethel, Houghton, Crumpacker. Fees and salaries Van Arsdel, Cardwill, Gregg, 'Willis, Culbert. Collett, Cranor, Baker, Duncan and Boord. - The Republican members of the election committees of both houses will act as a

committee on bills affecting changes or additions to the election laws. . . It was reported last night on good authority that the prison committee .will recommend the removal of wardens French and Patten. SHORT AND CONCISE. Views of Senators and Representatives on Pertinent Topics. "I am opposed to a, system of salaries in our counties," said a prominent member of the fee and salary committee, yesterday, "based upon the theory that the man elected shall be gentlemen of leisure. There are in many of the smaller county offices men who do little - or no work in their offices; know very little of its business and give but little of their time to the work of the office they hold. I hold that all men who are elected to the ordinary county office should go Into them and work. If they did they would not need so many clerks. In federal offices generally the men appointed to the highest positions are hard workers. General Harrison would not appoint men postmasters who would not give their time to the duties of these offices. Why should not the. men who are elected to county offices? We want no leisure class of officials." "One of the new members of the Legislature who proposes to distinguish himself In reforming the building and loan system does not know the difference between the premiums paid by borrowing shareholders and the expense tax," said another, member yesterday. "What can be expeeted of such men when they go headlong Into such a matter. It Is a case of a bull in a china shop." - - ; : "I want to congratulate the Journal , in what it said to-day about building and loan associations," said a Democratic Senator yesterday. "It is timely truth. Hundreds of people in the city In which I live have homes and others have had money to tide them over these times because they have been led to save money through the loan associations. Of all times this is the most unfortunate that could be chosen for attacking the general system of the building and loan associations." Coroner Castor Objects. Coroner. Castor, when seen 'at his office yesterday afternoon, was very indignant at the manner In which the Legislature is handling the bill for the regulation of his office. The bill places the coroner on a salary of $3,000. Coroner Castor said: "The Senate passed that bill without even examining into the justice of It. There are not five men in the Senate who know anything about the coroner's office, but they go ahead and vote on the bill, -nevertheless. The Injustice of It comes In when they change the basis of this office while I am the incumbent. I spent my money in the campaign in trying to get the office, but I would not have done so if there had been only a salary of $3,000 attached to it. If the salary shoma be placed at $4,000 there would be a saving to the county iof several thousand dollars a year, yet it would be a fair salary, at least." Indiana Universities' Claims. President Swain, of the State University, and President Parsons, of the State Normal School," were before the . ways and means committee last night, asking for increased appropriations " for their institutions. The State University wants a direct tax of one-sixth of a mill, which, it is- calculated, would give the university $200,000 a year. Purdue and the State Normal would bo satisfied with a tax of onesixteenth of a mill each. President Smart, of Purdue, will appear ibefore the committee to-day. The appropriations for the various State institutions will not.be fixed until later in the session, on account of the several bills now before both houses effecting taxation, ... . Passed by the Senate. In the Senate, yesterday afternoon; the roll was called that Senators might call up bills on third reading. The following measures were passed: , Senator Wishard's bill legalizing the acts of the City Council of Lebanon," Boone county, so far as they refer to the Second ward sewer. . Senator Seller's bill providing for the recovery of lost section corners. Senator Shiveley's bill requiring nonresident plaintiffs to file a cost bond, and providing for affidavits to determine who are nonresident plaintiffs. ' Senator Wishard's bill changing the name of the Mutual Life and Endowment Association to the Mutual Life Insurance Company. Chanares la Senate Committees. There was some shifting in the membership of the Senate committees yesterday Senator Wishard was excused from further service on the committee on benevolent institutions, .nd was transferred to the committee on prisons, in place of the late Senator Thayer. The vacancy on the committee caused by the death of Senator Thayer was filled by the appointment of Senator White. Senator Shlveley was appointed on the benevolent institutions committee to succeed Mr. Wishard. Senator Thayer's Successor. Governor Matthews said yesterday that he Is waiting for formal notice from the Senate of the death of the' late Senator Thayer before ordering a special election in the counties of Kosciusko and Wabash to select his successor. The law requires ten days' notice, and the session is bound to be well advanced before the successor of Senator Thayer can take his seat. Protection of Employes. Senator McLean's bill' for the protection of blacklisted employes provides that a discharged employe may demand of his former employer a statement . in writing of the cause of his dismissal. If this is refused, and the employer afterward use3 his influence to prevent the dismissed employe from securing work, he is made liable to a fine of not to exceed $500. No Successor to Senator Thayer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. , WABASH, Ind., Jan. 29. It Is the prevailing impression among the leaders in Wabash county Republican politics that no successor will be elected to the late Hon. J. D. Thayer, of Warsaw, whose death on Monday leaves a vacancy In. the district composed of Wabash and Kosciusko counties. It is argued that after a call for a special election, as required by law, ten days' notice must be given, and by the time the successful candidate is chosen and has qualified the term will have expired, as Mr. Thayer was a "hold-over' Senator.. Democrats have nothing to gain, a the district Is Republican by over 2,500, and there is a fair KepuDiican majority in tne (senate without a successor to Mr. Thayer. : , Indorsement of Nicholson's Bill. Special to the Indianapolis JgurnaL JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Jan. 29. The ' Ministerial Association last evening passed resolutions condemning the system of marrying runaway couples as carried on In this city; also, asking the police commissioners to close all business on Sunday and indorsing the (Nicholson bill.

Legislative Notes. The Governor has signed a bill fixing the number of House employes and their compensation. Mr. Ross, of the committee on township and county business used an ax. He knocked in the head a majority of the bills referred to his committee. The citizens of Irvlngton field a mass meeting Monday night and heartily indorsed the Nicholson bill. Petition papers are being circulated through the town for the names of voters. The1 regular quarterly meeting of the State Board of Charities was hel i yesterday afternoon.
