the strons: advocates of tho bill. lie stated last nlsht that he would support it unQualifledly. but that In this course he was not taking a new position.

An investigation will not accomplish anything. Send a dozen committees down there and they will find nothing wrong. Why? Because everything will be ready for their Inspection when they get there. The only way to right the wrongs that I firmly believe have eilsted in that institution, and tili exist, for that matter, is to make a complete reorganization of the management." It was gathered yesterday from Interviews with a larse number of the members f both houses that many of them are "on the fence" in recard to this bill and that

they are extremely anxious to drop on the right side. Should Stand 1 the Jonrnal. To the Editor of th Indianapolis Journal: The Republicans of Indiana should stand .by the Journal in the Reformatory matter. If there has been mismanagement of this institution an investigation should be made. TCothing else will satisfy right-minded people. If. on the other hand, the reorganization is pushed through simply to gratify personal spite, there will be a day of reckoning. So far as the New Albany member of the board of managers Is concerned. It goes without saying that practically everybody in New Albany will stand by John S. McDonald in any controversy between him and a lot of place-hunters. Sir. McDonald is the soul of honor, is a business man from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, and he has the courage . of his convictions. Whllo he Is a sound Hepublican he is not a political spoilsman and cannot be used by politicians. This eeems to bo the head and front of his offense. In another matter the Journal seems to be on the wrong track. Schoolbook. should be furnished free, both as a matter ' of economy and for the good of the schools. The letter of Prof. E. M. Goodwin in today's Journal seems unanswerable. GEO. li. CARD WILL. New Albany, Jan. 13. Indoraei! in Decntnr.

Jan. 19. SENATE TALKED ABOUT QUAIL. Sill for LonR Closed Season Given a. Setback HUM Passed. There was an air of somnolency about the Senate yesterday morning, and the trull routine was varied only by brisk speeches on how much protection should be furnished to quail. Senator Coats called up for -second reading his bill prohibiting the killing cf quail or the destruction of their eggs for a period of five years. The bill had been favorably reported by the committee and there had been no signs of opposition. Senator Gray started the ball by offering an amendment, .which Was adopted, providing that total protection should be furJ nlshed for three years Instead of five. Senator Coats agreed to tho amendment without parley. Senator Wood struck a blow at the bill with a motion to strike out the enacting clause. Senator Fortune seconded tho amendment at once. Mr. Wood declared 'that there is no demand for such a law as the one proposed by Senator Coats, and that, with all deference to the farmers of the State, It is not they that have worked untiringly to prevent the extinction of the game bird. The true sportsmen. Senator Wood eald. are the ones that have always TO-DAY'S WEATHER FORECAST. Fair In Southern Indiana Rain Snow In Northern Tortlon. WASHINGTON. Jan.

led the fiKht for the proper protection of quail. The bill is instigated by the farmers. Mr. Wood believed, but he thought it would not be wise to pass it. Such a bill, he believed, would remove the Interest of sportsmen for five years and then cold winters and poachers would do more to counteract the work of men with principle than all the good that might come from Jive or three years, protection. Mr. Fortune, of Jeffersonville. declared that Indiana has now the best fish ami game laws of any State and that there Js no apparent reason why they should be so radically changed. As it is, he said, the farmer has the right of ordering all trespassers off his land and is as fully protected so far as that goes as he would be if Mr. Coats' s bill should pass. Senator Gray spoke for the three-year amendment, saying that it really favored

the hunter, and If the quail were given that length of time to propagate, free from the attacks of hunters, there would be more quail than ever. TWO MAIDEN SPEECHES. Two maiden speeches were made in support of the bill. Senator Coats and Senator Presley M. Smith, the latter just out of a sick bed, broke their silence with arguments in favor af the passage of the amended bill. Both contended that necessity exists for a law that will give the feathered army a chance to increase its numbers. Senator Barlow, who was against the bill, said there Is no necessity for such a law and that the quail are Riven full protection under the present laws and the efficient supervision of the game wardens. This supervision Is known to be strict and productive of good results, he declared. If quail were given five years to breed uninterrupted, they might, he thought, prove in the end a nuisance to farmers. Senator Ball, as an opponent of the measure, moved that It be recommitted to the committee on rights and privileges. After i flurry of discussion, the motion was finally held in order by the Lieutenant Governor. Mr. liarcus, of Terre Haute, considered It wou'd be unwise, if not ridiculous, to pass a bill that would prove a dead letter as a law. It would be certain to be violated by all kinds of sportsmen, be thought, so long as human nature continues the same, and there are enough dead laws on the statute books. There is no reason, ha held, why tho present good game laws should be tampered with. Then Senator Lindley, as the real and only farmer, came to the front with an impassioned eulogy of the little brown bird as the true friend of the farmer. He eloquently pictured the billing and. cooing of quails in the early morning hours and told what a sweet sound it is to the simonpure agriculturist who has his ear near to the heart of nature. He alluded to the quail hunter as "a giant with a blunderbuss. Think of these fellows going around shooting the life out of every tomtit they see," he exclaimed. "It comes near being outrageous." Senator Lindley's effort came near being a prose poem and breathed an atmosphere of tho fields and the woods. After another speech by Senator Wood, in which he said that if a long closed season of this kind were to be made lawful there would not be one-third as many quail at the end of It as there are now, the bill was recommitted to the committee on rights and privileges. bportsmen of the State are keenly In terested In the fate of the measure and legislators in both houses have received appeals to prevent such legislation. The sentiment seems to be that quail are efficiently protected under the present law. M ITCIIELUJtESOLUTIONS. The return of John Mitchell to Indian apolis was made the peg upon which two resolutions were hung yesterday morning. Senator Fortune had been sitting back in his seat waiting to present one, but he went to sleep temporarily, and Senator Burns got In ahead of him with a resolution to the effect that the sense of the body be that John Mitchell is warmly wel comed back to Indiana after his notable services for the cause of labor. Senator Fortune went a little farther and his reso lution provided that a committee of three should be appointed to invite Mr. Mitchell to visit and address the Senate. The Lieutenant Governor appointed Sena tor Burns. Senator Fortune and Senator Newhouee as a committee to call upon Mr. Mitchell and arrange with him a time when it will be convenient for him to pay tho Senate a visit. The appearance of the massive figure of Dr. Joseph Swain, former president of the University of Indiana, and now the head of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, moved Senator Lindley to ask the chair to Invite Dr. Swain to a seat of honor and to address the Senate. Dr. Swain was escorted to the president's chair by Senator Lindley. His was a familiar figure to many of the senators, as on many occasions in previous sessions, representing the interests or Indiana University, he had been seen on the floor of the Senate. His speech, while brief, was a pleasant assortment of sentences by which he conveyed to the sen ators that they, as well as other members of the General Assembly whom he had known, are men of strength of character and ability. Dr. Swain is on his way to liioomington, where he will take part in the ceremony of installing Dr. William Lowe Bryan as president . of Indiana Uni versity. The Senate had another opportunity for discussion when Senator Johnston's auto mobile bill was called up for second reading. Senator Johnston offered an amendment to his bill providing that automobiles shall be registered by the initials of their owners. instead of numbers, as originally provided. Another amendment provided that on a signal from the driver of an approaching vehicle the automobilist must stop his ma chine. A number or the senators declared that such a law would be too drastic, and on motion of Senator Ball the bill was re ferred back to the committee on roads. which had recommended it for passage. SENATE DiD REAL WORK. Some opposition, to the Reformatory bill of Senator Goodwlne was expected when it was called up for second reading, but there was not a whisper against it and the bill was passed to engrossment without a volco being raised. In opposition. The fight in the Senate on the bill is expected this morning when it will bo called up for third reading. Considerable business was transacted by the Senate yesterday morning and as the fruits of hard committee work, there wero numerous measures advanced to engross ment and sewn bills passed. Among the bills passed were Senator Parks's bill pro viding that the expense of maintaining de pendent children in Institutions to which they may be sent shall be born by the twonship sending the children; Senator Layman s bill re-appropriating a fund for the erection of Indiana monuments on the battlefield of Shiloh and making an addi tional appropriation of $1,600, and Senator Wood's bill, which provides that 6 per cent. Interest shall be charged on delin quent taxes nfter ono year's delinquency in addition to the other penalties prescribed by law. Nine new bills were Introduced In tho Senate yesterday morning, none of transcendant Importance. The policy or holding only morning sessions in the Senate will be continued until the committee have disposed of the accumulation of bills presented The Senate adjourned to meet thl3 morning at 10 o'clock. MERRY PACE IX HOUSE. Speaker Marshall Kept the Members Working Until Late. Speaker Marshall set the House a merry pace in tne session yesieraay aiternoon and kept business moving at a lively rate. More than that, he kept the members at work until 4:13 o'clock, three quarters of an hour after a spirit of restlessness In vaded the Hall of Representatives and led one of the members to offer a motion for adjournment. The speaker refused to en-, tertain the motion until he had cleared his desk of the business that has accumulated for several days. As a result committee reports were had, a number of new bills introduced, bills were considered on second reading and advanced to engrossment. several Senate bills were read the first time and referred and two bills were passed. The House Is now up on all Its work and win begin 10-aay s session with a clean slate. The House was called to order at 2 o'clock and the proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rev. Joshua Stansfleld. pastor of the Meridian-street M. K. Church, of this city. On motion of Mr. Klrkman. of Wayne, the reading of the Journal was dispensed with. The first order of business was the reports of the committees, and under this head Mr. Stechhan. of Marion county, the chairman of the committee on public morals, worked off a bit of sarcasm, or humor. that. was enjoyed by the House. When the name of his committee was called he sent up the following "report:" A chairman of your committee on pub II3 morals I beg to report that It aives me

A Bunch ofSe?-

ouif r AND gV4 U " great pleasure to be in a position to state that so far I have had no occasion to call a meeting of my committee, which, coniderintr that this House has been in session now for about two weeks, during which time the members of the same have had a ereat deal of leisure, which accord ing to the generally accepted theory Invites demoralization, Is certainly a matter for congratulation. "Furthermore, the commonwealth, more especially our constituents, whom we rep resent and, metaphorically speaking, sit in judgment, I have just cause to feel proud of Its servants, 60 we find little to criticise." Mr. Stechhan Is apparently finding that the duties of the chairman of the public morals committee are by no means irksome. , MR. MUIR'S BILL. The committee on judiciary recommended Mr, Muir's bill, grading the punishment for embezzlement as the punishment for larceny is graded, for passage, and recommended that Mr. McDowell's bill concerning taxation be Indefinitely postponed. The committee also reconmmended favorably Mr. Denbo's bill. No. 14, making the law prohibiting the sale of lottery tickets more stringent and providing that whoever shall rent a building or any other structure to any person who shall therein engage in the sale of lottery tickets of any kind shall be punishable by a fine of from $10 to $500. Mr. Cravens, of Jefferson, endeavored to secure the reconsideration of his bill providing for the sanitary construction of Bchoolhouses, which was killed Friday by the committee on education. He moved that the report of the commmittee be reconsidered, and after some skirmishing this motion was held out of order. Mr. Sayre then came to the rescue with the proper motion, which was to the effect that the vote of the House In concurring in the committee's report be reconsidered. When this motion was put to a vote it appeared to the casual listener that the ayes and noes were about equal in volume, but the speaker declared that the noes had it and refused to grant Mr. Miller's demand for a division, holding that the request was made after the result had been declared. Later, however, Mr. Cravens succeeded in reviving his bill. The speaker left the hall and called Mr. Sayre to the chair. Mr. Cravens then offered a motion that his bill be recommitted. Mr. Kirkman raised a point of order, but the chair held the motion in order, and on the vote that followed he declared that the hill was recommitted. Twenty-two new bills were offered on the roll call of counties, and one of them. No. 133 (Dirkson). fixing the time of holding court in the Twenty-sixth Judicial circuit, was passed under the suspension of the rules. Among the new bills was one for the suppression of anarchy and the teaching of anarchy. Mr. Kirkman is the autnor. The bill is a material modification of the anti-anarchy bill offered in the upper house by Senator Parks in that it emphasizes solely tho matter of the teaching of anarchy, fixing tho penalty at from one to ten years' Imprisonment, with a fine not to exceed $3.000. and provides that any one who shall rent a building or room for anarchistic meetings shall be liable to imprisonment of from one to three years. The author of the bill holds that the existing homicidal laws are sufficient safeguard for that phase of the question and that Indiana should keep pace with ether States in passing laws striking at the propagation and promulgation of anarchistic principles. The bill is modeled on a law adopted by the New York Legislature of 1902. On motion by Mr. KIrkmen the House extended a cordial welcome to John Mitchell, the president of the United Mine Workers of America,, and appointed a committee of three to wait on President Mitchell to Invite him to address the House at any time that would suit his convenience. Messrs. Kirkman, Berndt and McDowell constitute this committee. ROUTINE BUSINESS. Mr. Luhrlng offered a motion that when the House adjourn it stand adjourned until 10 o'clock this forenoon. Mr. Sherman, of Decatur, asked permis sion to Introduce a bill the reading of which furnished diversion for the tired legislators. The bill is entitled an act for the relief of H. C. Snell. of Decatur county, and appropriating the sum of $25 to pay said Snell for a saddle, bridle and saddle blanket that were taken from him In 1S63, at the time of the Morgan raiders. The bill was referred to the committee on claims. Snell has been trying to get reimbursement for this saddle and bridle for several years, and the bill has been introduced at previous sessions. Houso bill No. 7 Boulden providing for the restriction of contagious diseases, was made a special order for Wednesday at 11 o'clock. No. 64 Berndt providing for the Issuance of licenses to barbers and estab lishing a State board of examiners, was made the special order lor iu o ciock t riday. These bills came up on second reading. House bills Nos. 46, 57, 106 and 74, which also came up on second reading, were advanced to engrossment. Senate bills Nos. 4. 5, 18, 20. 28, 33, &4 and 78 were handed down on first reading and referred to the proper committees. House bills Nos. 31. 53 and 61 were handed down on third reading, and the first two were passed, while the last was made a soecial order for 10:30 o'clock to-day. No. 31 is Representative Muir's bill providing that the probate commissioner 01 tnis county may employ an additional assistant. No. 53 is Representative Bamberger's measure legalizing the incorporation of the town of Southport, this county. No. 61 is the bill introduced by Representative Stansbury at the Instance of the State Bar Association, and it provides for appeals from Justices and municipal courts in misdemeanor cases. On motion by Mr. Kirkman the House adjourned. ELECTION OF A SENATOR. The Legislature Will Honor Charles "W. Fairbanks To-Day. To-day the Legislature will elect a United States senator, and Senator Fairbanks, of this city, will be chosen to succeed himself. In the Senate the election Is made a special order for 11 o'clock, while in the House it will take place at 12 o'clock.

The galleries will be free to all comers, and the first on the scene will get the best seats. Committees of the Senate. Comparatively little business was transacted by committees of the Senate yesterday, principally on account of the necessity for further examination of important bills given to members for personal investigation. The committee on judiciary No. 1, of which Mr. Parks, of Plymouth, is chairman, considered a number of measures referred to It, but reached a decision on none. The committee on county and township business, of which Senator Gochenour is the head, passed on two bills. Senator Ball's bill, concerning the method of levynig of road taxes and providing for working them out on roads, will be recommended to the consideration of the committee on rules. .Senator Barlow's bill to reimburse Austin Pierson, a former township trustee of Hendricks, for salary he forgot to draw while he was in office, will be recommended for passage with the amendment that the section providing that interest shall be paid be stricken out. The committee on cities and towns, of which Mr. Ball, of Muncie, is chairman, also passed on two bills. Senator Harrison's bill providing that city councils may pass a measure over the veto of the mayor by a two-thirds vote, will be recommended for indefinite postponement. Senator ITlrey'a bill amending the title of the Fort Wayne charter of IS'jZ will be recommended for passage. Senator KIttinger, of the committee on Judiciary No. 1, has called a meeting of his committee this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the room of the lieutenant governor. Legislative Sidelights. A most estimable member of the Senate, one who is known for untiring labors In committee room and for general Industrlousncss, possesses as ' a distinguishing mark a very bald head. Of him it is said that once upon a time he went Into a barber shop and carelessly running his fingers through the fringe around his ears, remarked to the black man behind the chair: "You may give me a hair cut." "A what, sah?!' inquired the barber. "A hair cut," repeated tho senator, emphatically. "W'y you don't need a hair cut," replied the Indiana-avenue artist; "What you need is a Bhine." XXX Senator Lindley, whose poetic speech In defense of the birds brought tears to many an eye In the Senate yesterday morning, lays claim to being the only real farmer in the Legislature. "The others may be farmers," he says, "but they are not working at it very hard." Senator Lindley is accustomed, as many farmers are, to very early rising, and a doorkeeper of the Senate said of him the other day that during tho first day or two of the Senate ho camo. so early to the Statehouse that he had to camp out on the front steps until Major Krietenstein got ready to open up. As the Statehouse is always open the veracity of the story may be doubted. The fact remains that the senator from Noblesvillc is up with the birds and is walking the streets briskly In search of exercise before many of his colleagues have come out of dreamland. XXX Senator Thralls, whose piratical black whiskers add to the decorative completeness of the left tide of the chamber, and whoso soft Italian name of Raphael is an unusual one for a statesman to bear, is another of those that cannot keep his eyelids closed after 4 o'clock in the morning. The senator must -be up and doing at that hour and a brisk constitutional puts him in shape for breakfast. xxx Dr. John N. Hurty, who did a little lobby ing in the Senate chamber in favor of tho bill for a State laboratory of hygiene seized the opportunity to gallop his hobby up and down before the senators to show off its good points. "Have you been vaccinated? he asked Senator Eban H. Wolcott. "Mot Kuilty." replied the senator from Jasper, Newton and White. "Come down and 1ft me fix you, said the secretary of the State Board of Health. "It won t cost you a cent and I will cive you the time of your life." "But after," asked the senator. "There will be no after," answered the doctor. "You will never know that any thing had been done to you except, perhaps. a fever, a tinge of nausea and a general gone feeling for a while." The invitation was politely refused and the doctor had poor success with the senators. XXX Alva O. Reser, of Lafayette, who was a familiar figure in the House during the sessions of '33 and '01 and was one of the active members of the majority side, was a visitor in the ' House yesterday. He announced that he had been promoted from the floor to the press table and that he would be here during the rest of the session as tho representative of the Lafayette Journal. Mr Reser was one of the members on whom the newspaper men always counted to enliven a dull session. He has the happy faculty of seeing the humorous side of a proposition a little bit quicker than the average mortal and the additional gift of being able to present his views in an entertaining manner, consequently when he arose to speak the reporters always took a fresh interest in life and sharpened their pencils. xxx Reading Clerk Rossiter, of the House, got his tongue tied In a new knot yesterday when he essayed the word "metaphorically" in a report submitted by Chairman Stechhan. of the committee on public morals. The different ways he pronounced the word before he finally gave it up as a bad job convulsed the House and brought the deep scarlet of embarrassment to his checks. xxx Representative Sayre, of Wabash, is due for a joke about every so often, and yesterday was one of his days. Speaker Marshall announced the vote on a bill and had declared it passed by a vote of SS to 0. and Sayre rose and strolled over to the press table. "Did it strike you." he asked, "what kind of a monstrosity that was that the speaker just described an animal with S6 eyes and no nose?" Mr. Sayre, by the way, wielded the speaker's gavel yesterday for the first time for eighteen years or so. Mr. Marshall was called away for a few moments and he had the member from Wabash take the chair. Away back in the eighties Mr. Sayre was speaker of the House and he showed yesterday that he had not forgotten how to preside. xxx Mr. Denbo, of Floyd. Is after the lottery sharks that were driven from Louisville and took up refuge on the Indiana side

Gibson i PSEY

of the river at New Albany in tumble-down shacks and houseboats. He has introduced a bill amending the law prohibiting the sale of lottery tickets by making it a felony for any one to rent a building of any derrHntlon. or anv kind of a watercraft. to any one who engages therein In the sale of any kind of lottery tickets or in the conducting of any kind of gift enterprise. Yesterday the bill was reported for passage by the judiciary committee and Mr. Denbo has hopes of getting it ultimately on the statute books. xxx Charles S. Hernly, of New Castle, former chairman of the Republican state committee, was a visitor in the House yesterday. xxx Mr. Sayre appeared yesterday in a brandnew suit of clothes, with razor-edge creases in his trousers, and he was immediately made tho butt of numerous shafts of witticism insinuating that he had been "seen" by the third house on some proposition. XXX W. II. Sanders, of Marion, one of the well-known Republicans of the Eleventh district, is In the city to be present at the re-election of Senator Fairbanks to-day. Mr. Sanders was for many years editor of the Marion Chronicle. He retired a few years ago to take up lecture work, but recently he has gone back into the harness and Is again doing the editorial work on the Chronicle. x x x Republican leaders from all over the State are flocking into the city to visit the Legislature to-day. The election of a United States Senator brings to the capital almost as large a delegation of the representative men of the dominant party as a state convention assembles. LEGISLATIVE ROUTINE.

Cantwell, secretary of district No. l. that the resolution only apply to the representatives of the anthracite districts, was not put by President Mitchell. COMMITTEES ANNOUNCED.

During a lull in the proceedings Secre tary Wilson read the following telegram from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers: Th& executive council of the American lVdfrntlon of T.ahor In spsslnn recret our enforced absence and sends fraternal greetings to you, your convention and entire organization. Accept and convey our juncere- congratulations on tne spienaia struggle made for the right and on the moral vlrtorv nlrpnilv u-nn anr nlcn in anticipation of the material victory which a 1 . . m m . is aue ana mevuaDie. May every success attend you." A West irclnia. delegate nrosA to nslr the chair why the Indianapolis newspapers aid not display tne union label. He said he had been told by a representative of an evening newspaper that one of the reasons for the absence of the label was that the circulation would fall off if it were printedi He wanted to know why that . was the case. Another delegate, a colore! man from nn Alahoma riistrlct demanded that the "blue label" be printed in the papers If they were to be recognized by the miners. He said he would rather throw a- paper away than read It if it were not embellished with the "blue label." xne aiscussion iook a serious form when a resolution was proposed and adopted providing for the appointment of a committee to visit and prevail on the publishers of the city to use the label. President Mitchell suggested that the matter be left with the local typographical union but his suggestion was not followed and the resolution was adopted unanimously. The committee will be named this morning. The lateness of the hour caused President Mitchell to announce that he would not render his report until to-day. He Introduced to the miners Harry Skefflngton, of the International Boot and Shoe Makers' Union, who spoke for his organization. Mr. Skefflngton asked the support of the miners and additional favors. He said that the manufacturers of children's and women's shoes were at variance with the workmen of his craft and a great ßtrlke is in progress now in Haverhill and Lynn. Mass. The strike was the result of disagreements between the members of his nre-.i nation and the Knights of Labor. A strike had wen uruerea oy mat oooy in the Hast In disregard of agreements between tho an labor unions. He said that an effort would be made immediately to effect a reconcil iation Dut m tne meantime the support of organized labor was needed for the success of the shoe men's organization. FOR TOBACCO WORKERS. Another labor leader who addressed the meeting was Henry Fisher, president of the International Union of Tobacco Work ers. He described the conditions in his trade at the present time and advocated the patronage of only those dealers who sell, union-made goods. The label was nec essary, he said, to insure good workmanship and material, and the label was the sign of unionism and should be encouraged. Mr. Fiehcr said the organization which he represents had never had cause to complain of the support received from the miners, and he onlv wlsherl to rmfnrl thum n need of a continuance of their generous ireaiment. xne ngnt netween the unions of tobacco workmen and the so-called trust was discussed by Mr. Fisher. He enumeraica me Dranas or tODacco and the factories which produce them and asked a boycott on them.
