ON BRINK OF DEFEAT. CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) committee on Judiciary. The principal feature of the substitutes is the provision that a merchant may legally garnishee on 25 per cent, of the wages only of a man who willfully and fraudulently evades the payment of his honest debts. Those who through misfortune or other mitigating circumstances run behind in their affairs arc excluded from the bill's application. It happened that when Mr. Wood called the bill up a sort of lethargy had fallen on the Senate. Matters had been so uninteresting that few senators were paying much attention to what was going on. Consequently when the Lieutenant Governor put the usual question in the usual way there was not a Eingle objection raised. "Shall the bill pass to engrossment?" ho asked. Not a voice was raised In opposition. "If there is no objection." continued President Gilbert, "It will be so ordered." Still the sleepers might have caused trouble, but for all the activity they displayed Senator Wood might have waved the wand of Circe over them and might have changed them into dumb animals. There was not even a grunt, a growl or a grumble to show that anyone cared a rap what became of the bill. Then the final order was made by the Lieutenant Governor. "It is done," he declared; and the bill was disposed of. FORTUNE WAS WARLIKE. Then there was a buzz of surprise t that swelled into a murmur. The opponents of the measure seemed to recover slowly from the remarkable hypnotism under which they had sat with Impassive faces and they began to twist in their seats uneasily, asking what had happened to them. There was an element of humor in the situation. Sharp, shrewd masters of the art of filibustering had let their sweetest opportunity get by them and had let their dearest enemy score a marked triumph. Then uprose the senator from Clark, Mr. Fortune, who. In a complaining voice full of the wail of distress, asked the president of the Senate what he meant by rushing the bill over the heads of the senators without giving them time to know what was going on. Mr. Fortune is a" pleasant gentleman, as every body knows; but ho can wear at times the most irritating sneer and talk in the most provoking voice of any man in the chamber. Mr. Gilbert, stung by tho Injustice of the accusation for he had proceeded deliberately and according to the usual procedure replied with courtesy in a repressed voice that the bill had taken the customary course and that the senator from Clark had evidently not paid attention to what happened. s Mr. Fortune smiled another of his goading grins and drawled out, "Well, it must have skipped through pretty fast, as I was watching for it and I did not hear it when it was called." President Gilbert's face set and his Jaw became a liitle more prominent than ordinarily. Those accustomed to gauge the weather accurately would have known that a storm was brewing. He replied cuttingly in a level voice: "The strictures of the senator from Clark are absolutely uncalled for and untrue, and I cannot permit them to go by unchallenged." Mr. Fortune kept his feet and shot another poisoned arrow with the remark: "I am perfectly aware that the chair can cast an aspersion on any member whenever he sees fit." The lieutenant governor's eyes flashed fire, but under the galling gibes he main tained his composure admirably. He rapped sharply for order. Mr. Fortune subsided. He was on his feet again, however, n a minute, and obtained recognition at once. He moved that the Senate reconsider ts vote to engross the garnishee bills. He obtained permission from, the chair to speak on his motion, and used the time to attack the spirit of the measures as well as the letter. SPEECHES ON THE BILL. The senator from Clark maintained that the Republican party leaders had conspired with prominent members of the merchants' associations to pass the garnishee bills. He exhibited letters sent to merchants of the State by a member of the Retail Gro cers Association of Indianapolis, which stated that the merchants had the Repub lican members where they wanted them. and that the bill would be driven through He declared that the bill would place labor ing men at the mercy of hard-hearted mer chants. Tha senator from Tippecanoe interrupted: "The senator from Clark certainly is not aware that this is a substitute bill, a sub stitute which expressly provides that sickness or reasonable inability to pay debts does not make an employe liable to gar nishment." Senator Wood then spoke for the bill. Senator Davis broke in with the remark that the bill was so ambiguously worded he could not comprehend Its meaning. This brought a shot from Senator Wood. "We certainly are not responsible," he said, "for the senator's inability to understand the English language." The hit went home, and the oratorical statesman from Greene sat down abashed. Senator Wood then stated that the time has come in Indiana when the rights of the merchants against deadbeats must j be looked after by the Legislature. "I wish to say," he observed, "that we cannot give all of our attention to the laboring element of the population. But nevertheless thero is nothing in this bill that is prejudicial to the interests of a laboring man if he be an honest man. He is taken care of by the bill, and he is exempted from, garnishment proceedings if. through illness or other mlsfor tune, he Is unable to meet his obligations. There has been a great deal of talk about the laboring organizations being a unit in opposition to tho bill. That talk is based on wind, because I have here a copy of a letter from Grand Chlf Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, placing the seal of his approval upon Just such legislation as is proposed by the bill. Mr. Arthur understands as well as anybody elso that the merchant Is robbed right and left by the unprincipled employe who evades settling for the very necessaries of life. "Thero is nothing to conceal In this bill. It has been fully explained and fully argued. I am in no hurry about rushing It through. I want every senator to understand the bill thoroughly before voting on it: and I am convinced that the more the real purpose of the bill is comprehended, th mom votes there will be cast for it." Senator Dausman moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. When the roll was called there were exactly twentyone voting to table the motion to reconsider and twenty-one voting against. Senator Purvlance, whose "aye" the clerk had not caught, was called again, and he clinched the victory for Senator Wood's forces. WOLCOTT FARED BADLY. Senator Wolcott's bills fared badly yesterday. The senator had two measures called up, one on second reading, the other on third reading. The bill to give the State Board of Education authority to contract for a primer one grade lower than the first reader now in use was defeated twentythree to sixteen. Senator Wolcott's bill giving the State -Hoard of Education power to appoint a state high school Inspector was Ftrenuously objected to by some of the senators on the ground that the purposes of the officer were not clearly set out. The biil was ordered recommitted to the committee on education. Senator Ball's barber bill came up on sec ond reading and was passed to engrossment without much of a fight. An amend ment was adopted which provides that the till shall apply only to Incorporated cities and towns. Among the bills passed to engrossment were Senator Gray's bill to provide for the building of floodgates In ditches; Senator Ogborn's bill providing for the loaning of the common school fund; Senator Singer's bill legalizing the incorporation of the town of Versailles; Senator Starr's bill authorizing the trustees and superintendent of the Indiana Soldiers' and Bailors' Orphans' Home to secure homes for the inmates: Senator W ampler s bill concerning county business: Senator Thompson's bill relating to the organization and j-erpetuity of vol untary associations; Senator Wood's bill concerning proceedings in civil rases, and Senator Barlow s bill amending the act re lating to the incorporation of towns and defining the powers of officers. Senator Matson's voting machine bill was made the tpecial order of business for Feb 6. at 10:30 a. m. Senator Goodwine's bill to separate the Woman's Irlson and Girls' Industrial School was favorably reported by the committee on reformatories, as was Senator Newhouse s bill establishing a täte 11 brary board. The only bill that passed the Senate yesterday was Senator Parks 3 bill Increasing the salary of the state forester. A message was received from the Gov rnor to the effect that Senate bill No. 10S the Reformatory bill had been signed and that the signature of the executive had

N Woo r-.,.. tos GA 'v""g fon been affixed to Senate concurrent resolution No. 2, providing for the investigation of the coal situation. House bill No. 130, Representative Owen's amendment to the tax law, was made the special order of business for Feb. 6, at 11 a. m. House bill No. 71. by Representative Muir, providing for the pensioning of Indianapolis policemen, was passed to engrossment without objection. Eleven new bills were Introduced, of which only two or three are of special interest. Senator Da'isman Introduced a measure to prevent the building of any steam or electric railroad through the grounds of a state institution. The bill is designed to prevent the Plalnfield line from running through the grounds of the Plainfield Reformatory. Senator Gray introduced a bill to appropriate the sum of $120.000 to pay an old claim made by Vincennes University. A gavel made by the boys of the Plainfield Reformatory was presented to President Gilbert at the opening of the session by Senator Barlow. The Lieutenant Governor, In accepting the gavel, praised the manner in which the institutions of the State arc conducted and referred particularly to the Plalnfield Reformatory. The Senate adjourned to meet this morning at 10 o'cicck. KNIVES OUT I THE HOUSE. BUI Were Slaughtered Without Mercy Until the Mood Wore Off. The members of the House appeared to be in a bad humor when yesterday afternoon's session was opened. They had their axes and hammers out and started in to do some carpentry work that was not in the least constructive. One bill was defeated, another sent back to a committtee to be radically amended and another had a hairbreath escape from an untimely death before the "grouch" that possesed the members wore off. Then they settled down to routine grind and passed eight bills without discussion or dissension. The first bill that came up was the county superintendents measure, introduced by Mr. Branch and backed by the superintendents' organization and the State Board of Education, and started the hostile demonstration. The bil was on its second reading and was open to recommitment, amendment or engrossment. Mr. Adair, one of the minority leaders, offered an amendment which changed the Mil materially, and spoke at length in support of his position. He said that his attention had first been called to the bill by letters he had received from various county superintendents and that his suspicions had been aroused becau&e these officials were so anxious to secure votes for the bill. He had investigated it and had come to the conclusion that instead of being a bill for th benefit ot the people of the State it was a measure solely in the interests of the superintendents, being, therefore. In his opinion, class legislation of a vicious kintt. "This bill should be radically cnangea, said Mr. Adair, "before it should receive a single vote in this body. In the first place it provides that the county superintendents shall assume ofuce on the first day of January, insteau of ten days after their election in June. That means changing superintendents in the middle of the school year swapping horses in the middle of the stream and where the retiring superin tendent and the new one have different views in regard to the management of the schools It will mean that the schools win be demoralized for that year at least. This change has been proposed In the present law soltly to give the present superintendents an extension of their present terma for live or six months. PROVISIONS OF THE BILL. "Section 3 of the bill provides that the qualifications for county superintendents shall be increased to a five years license, but that tho prtijent Incumbents, all of whom have but three years licenses, shall bo eligible to re-election, or election at any future time. This Is an unjust discrimination and it Is aimed purely to perpetuate In office the present superintendents. Why should one man be eligible to election with a three years license while another is required to have a five years license? There is no Just reason for such discrimination, but we are asked to pass this bill because the present county superintendents know that it will greatly benefit them nnd virtually continue them in ofhee Indefinitely. "Further, this bill provides that tho superintendents sh.ill- be given an allowance of from $JTi0 to $5W) for their expenses. In other words, w are asked to give them an Increase In salary of that amount. It Is a peculiar thing that a man will seek an office, spend his money in securing the nomination and election, and then, after he is securely in office, but not till then, discover that the salary Is wholly inadequate, and that he should be given an increase. I am opposed to this bill in its present form because it extends the terms of the present incumbents five or nix months, because it will have a bad effect on the school In providing a change of superintendents in the middle of tho school year, because it discriminates unjustly in favor of the men now in office In practically doubling the qualifications necessary to outsiders who seek election, and because it Increses the compensation of men now in office. The amendments I have offered remedy the defects I have pointed out." Mr. Adair was liberally applauded both from members of the majority and minority at the conclusion of his speech, and when Mr. Smith, of Cass, made a motion to lay the amendments on the table the motion was voted down, showing that the county superintendents lobby has not been altogether successful in Its work. Mr. Miller, of Bartholomew, offered a motion to recommit the bill with Instructions to report an amendment providing for the election of county superintendents by popular vote and such other amendments ns may be deemed tit. The motion to recommit took precedence over Mr. Adair's motion to amend and it was carried by a large vote. Mr. Adair's amendments will probably be incorporated la the committee's recommendations. House Bill No. 0 the dentists billcame up on third reading, as a special order, immediately after the disposition of the superintendents' bill, and Mr. Van Fleet, of Elkhart, promptly offered a motion to recommit the bill to the committee on rights and privileges with Instructions to report an amendment providing that the bill shall not bar from practice dentists without licenses who work under the direction of a regularly licensed dentist. He spoke to his motion and told of three men In Elkhart, all of whom have been practicing for some time, one of them for over thirty years, who would b barred from further practice under a licensed dentist If the bill became a law in its present form. DEBATE ON DENTISTS' BILL. Mr. Sparks, the sponsor of the bill, replied to Mr. Van Fleet. He said that while the frieds of the bill were willing to have it amended In any reasonable manner, he wanted to tell something that he knew about one of three men cited by the member from Elkhart. "One of those men." he said, "who has been practicing dentistry for twenty-eight

years, tried to pass an examination under the present law and his answers to the questions would convince you that he is not fit to practice dentistry on a dumb animal, to say nothing of a human being." Mr. Van Fleet did not take kindly to this aspersion cast on one of his constituents and he arose, white with anger, to a question of personal privilege. "I deny every word of that statement?" he said, shaking his long arm and forefinger at the member from Rush. "The man to whom I referred, and to whom he has Just referred, never attempted to pass un examination. He is here in this hall at this moment to substantiate that statement." Mr. Sparks "Well, all I know is that some man from Elkhart tried to pass the examination, and his paper displayed woeful ignorance." , Mr. Stookey, of Kosciuskko, offered an amendment to Mr. Van Fleet's motion, providing for an amendment to the bill whereby a man who has practiced dentistry for a period of Ave years shall be eligible to take the examination for license, even if he has not graduataed from a college of dentistry. k Mr. Sparks moved to table Mr. Stookey's amendment, but his motion was lost and the amendment was then adopted. The question recurred then to the adoption of Mr. Van Fleet' motion to recommit as amended by Mr. Stookey's motion. This question was put by a viva voce vote nnd the Fpeaker held that It was lost because the motion required a two-thirds vote. Some of the members raised a question as to how the speaker could determine whether there was a two-thirds vote when the ayes and noes were not called, but he held to ms ruling. Mr. Van Fleet then moved to reconsider the vote by which his motion was defeated. Sparks attempted to have this motion tabled but failed, and the motion to recon sider was adopted. The question was again on Mr. Van Fleet's motion to recommit and the ayes and noes were demanded. The roll call showed 62 ayes and 23 noes, and the motion was lost for want of a twothirds .vote of all the members of the House. The bill was then placed on its passage and it was discovered that its friends had acted unwisely in attempting to prevent amendments, for it was defeated by a vote of 30 to 46. Mr. Sparks changed his vote from "aye" to "no" at the last moment in order that he might be able to make a motion to reconsider, and he made the motion as soon as the vote was announced. Mr. Slack moved that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table, and his motion prevailed. The bill was dead. STUTESMAN'S CLOSE CALL. The next bill up was Mr. Stutesman's measure establishing a Superior Court in the counties of Miami, Wabash and Huntington, and before the raember from Miami knew what was happening his bill was being knifed on both sides. No discussion preceded the vote on Its passage and Adair, of the minority, started the landslide against the bill with a vigorous no. Stutesman walked up and down the aisle trying to hold his friends among the majority In line," but many of them voted against the bill and when it came his time to vote the bill was virtually defeated. He made a short explanation in which he said that the bill was an innocent measure affecting only the counties mentioned and that there was nothing sinister or ulterior back of it. His speech started things his way and at the conclusion of the roll call members who had voted no changed to the affirmative. After ten minutes' delay enough votes were changed to pass the bill by a vote of 53 to 25, but it was a close shave. It developed afterward that some of the opposition to the bill came because all of the people in Huntington county do not want the court. One member said he voted against it because he had been informed that the bill was introduced at the instanceof only a few men in each of the three counties. A number of other bill were taken up on third reading and passed. notably Mr. Wright's voting machine bill, which applies only to Marion county. There was no discussion of the bill and it was parsed with only three negative votes. The bill creating a state forestry reserve and the bill providing for a State commission to receive and distribute among the various medical and dental colleges all bodies for dissecting purposes were also passed. , TO FIGHT CO.St'3IPTIO. DIU 1V1U De Introduced to Establish State Sanatorium. Henry A. Goetz, of New Albany, la in the city in the Interests of a bill, which he will have Introduced at an early date, providing for tho establishment of a State sanatorium for consumptives. The bill carries an appropriation of $20,000. Mr. Goetz proposes to donate thirty acres of land as a site for the sanatorium and to give the State a bond guaranteeing it against further expense in the way of maintenance before the appropriation for its establishment shall be available. The bill creates a commission of four to .take charge of the appropriation and the institution. As an argument in support of this bill Mr. Goetz cites what other States and other countries, as well as private individuals, are doing to tight the dread disease consumption. He says that, there are similar Sanatoriums in Vermont and New York: that Henry Phlpps has given t;)no,n for the establishment and $4o.ooo annually for the support of such an institution in Philadelphia; that an unknown man has given $1.0UO,0"0 for such work in New York cltv mat .luim u. iiocKeieuer win give i7.flufj.Nio to Chicago University for this purpose: that Germany has forty-four euch Sanatoriums; that-England has an institution with 1.000.0nu back of it,, and that Brussels has expended !3.0uo,ooo in tho work. More Pay for Connty Officers. The Senate committee on fees and salaries yesterday afternoon decided to recommend for passage Senator Card's bill providing a basis on which compensation shall be paid to county officers. There was con siderable argument advanced against the bill In Its original form, but the members of the committee finally got together by making mutual concessions and agreed upon a report. The bill provides that county officers shall be paid so much for the hrst lO.Utf) of population and so much for each additional 10,000. with 10 per cent, of the total fees collected. On the whole the bill, if enacted Into law, would increase the salaries of practically all the county officers moderately. A bill to establish police Judges in cities of less than six thousand population and fixing the compensation of the Judges was killed by the committee. The committee held that the mayor should continue to exercise Judicial functions in police courts, and that the present system is entirely satisfactory. Rider to Salary DHL .A movement was started yesterday to at tach a rider to the bill increasing the sal arlea of the Marion county Judges that will either kill the bill or provide an Increase in salary for all the other circuit and superior Judges in the State. The rider will be In the shape of an amendment providing that all circuit and superior Judges In circuits composed of but one county, shall have

J

VlLL TOB Hiltis their salaries Increased to $3,000. and In circuits of two or more counties they shall receive $3,5ti0. Representative Slack said that he will line up a solid minority in support of such an amendment, and there are several of the Republican members who are in favor of it, outside of the Marion county delegation, who will have to support it or have their bill defeated. Seven votes from this county added to thirty-four from the minority leaves but nine votes to be secured from the other fifty-nine Republican members. The members of the Marion county delegation said yesterday that the feature of the bill which provides that the State shall bear the expense of the Criminal Court of this county will be eliminated by amendment when the bill comes up again. Hnmllton-Schloot Contest. The House committee on-elections heard the arguments of the attorneys In the Ilamilton-Schloot contest case last night, and this morning at 'J:20 o'clock the committee will meet to take final action on the contest. One of the members of the committee said that he had never heard of a case that was so complicated, and that a decision was difficult to reach. "The committee wants to do the right thing." he said, "but from the mass of conflicting evidence it is hard to decide which side has made the stronger case." Urging Impeachment of Hasch. A delegation of prominent citizens from Evansville arrived in the city yesterday afternoon to urge the Legislature to institute impeachment proceedings against Judge Rasch, of their city. Those in the party were J. E. Iglehart, S. R. Hornbrook, W. N. Hostetter, H. M. Logsden, Frank Gore, R. D. Richardson, E. I. Lockyear and J. E. Williamson. Gen. Wallace Visit the Honse. General Lew Wallace, of Crawfordsvllle, was a visitor in the House yesterday. He called on the representative from .Montgomery county, Mr. Kirkpatrlck, and then went up and sat for a few minutes at the side of Speaker Marshall. Mr. Cantnrell Greatly Improved. Representative Cantwell, who Is 111 at St. Vincent's Hospital, was reported greatly Improved last night. His atteneding physicians have not yet determined whether it will be necesary for him to undergo an operation. LEGISLATIVE E0UTINE. Xerr Senate Dills.
