LEGISLATURE SPECIAL CALLS PROVE COSTLY History Upholds Leslie in Giving Deep Thought to School Plea. BV BEN STERN Special sessions of the legislature, such ,as now proposed for the relief of state aid schools, have played no small part in shaping the destinies of political parties in Indiana. In many instances they have brought down defeat upon the party whose Governor called the session and then failed to keep a tight rein on the assembly. Bills galore have been introduced and the legislators, to use a pocket, expression, have "run hog wild.” The fourteen special sessions of | the Indiana legislature have proved expensive, costing the taxpayers $578 071.11, records disclose. I>e*lie Holds Bark Bearing this lesson in mind. Governor Harry G. Leslie will not be swayed easily toward calling a special session to provide relief for the bankrupt and impoverished state aid schools of southern Indiana. Records of the past paint a warning signal that has not escaped the Governor’s eye. This was true of the first special ' Session in state history. It was I called on Nov. 30. 1858, by Governor Ashbell P. Willard, a Democrat sad- I died with a Republican legislature j The opposition legislature had failed j support of state institutions in order j to make adequate provisions for the ! it is charged, to embarrass the Gov- i ernor. The session lasted thirty-six days, ) 214 bills and eleven resolutions were j introduced, and twenty-four were j passed. The cost of the session was i $75,000.76. Another Special Call Then came the Civil war and a need for all manner of special legislation. A Republican Governor called a Republican legislature into special session on April 24, 1861, shortly after war was declared, and amidst shouts and applause Indiana was precipitated into the conflict by Governor Oliver P. Morton. This session lasted forty days; 123 bills and twenty-five resolutions were introduced, and fifty-nine bills j were passed. The session adjourned June 2 and the cost was $30,000. Morton called another special session Nov. 13, 1865, to complete unfinfcihed business of the regular session. It also lasted forty days; 145 bills and eleven resolutions were introduced: 104 were passed and the j cost was $50,C00. On April 9, 1869, Governor Conrad j Baker, Republican, called a special j session to make appropriations for i state institutions. It also lasted j forty days; 138 bills and seven resoRations were introduced, sixty-two j passed and the cost was $60,000. Second Session Called Baker emulated Morton and called a special session Nov. 13. 1872, which proved to be another forty-day affair. The purpose was to complete unfinished business and there must have been plenty of it because 434 bills and 13 resolutions were introduced and 47 bills were passed. The cost for a forty-day session steadily mounts, now it is $75,000. Special sessions by this time had become a pernicious habit, for we find Governor Thomas D. Hendrick, Democrat, calling one on March 7. 1875, to pass general appropriation and revenue bills. Only one measure was introduced, but thirty-three bills on the previous calendar were reintroduced and passed in the seven-day session, which cost $25,000. Two years later anew Governor, James D. Williams, called a special session on March 6, 1877, Williams was a Democrat and his legislature Republican. Out of spite it failed to make adequate provisions for the expenses of the state government and to pass important bills. The special session lasted ten days, in which thirteen new bills were introduced and forty-nine repassed. Williams ruled with an iron hand and the expenses of the session totaled but $13,070.35. Williams More Fortunate Williams was much more fortunate in 1879, for he was supported by a Democratic legislature, and on March 11 he addressed a special session called for the purpose of making provisions for the expense of government and other important matters which could not be attended to in the regularly convened general assembly. This session lasted twenty-one days, sixty-nine bill were introduced and 120. including those standing on the calendar from the previous session, were passed. The cost was $35 000. Two years later, with Albert G. Porter, Republican, serving as Governor, it was found necessary to hold another special sesssion to pass general and specific appropriation bills and also settle reconstruction problems. This session lasted forty days, and 141 bills and foruteen joint resolutions were introduced and 122 measures were passed at a cost of $75,000. These sessions were marked with the usual log-rolling and demonstrations against Governors who were disliked. But all were called for the purpose of settling reconstruction problems. More recent special legislative sessions will be dealt with ni a succeeding article. JUDGE PRESENTS CANDY Chamberlin Gives 100 Boxes to Fresh Air Class. Judge Harry O. Chamberlin of the circuit court presented 100 boxes of candy to pupils in fresh air rooms of school No. 12, at 733 £outh West street, today. Each year it has been an annual Christmas act of Judge Chamberlin to remember the children of this school in some way. He attended a Christmas program at the school, at which he gave the boxes to lh| pupils.

Thrilling Rescues in Fire

How a waste paper plant in Baltimore became a death pyre for several women workers when fast-spreading flames consumed the building is shown in this striking picture taken while the fire was at its height. Here you see firemen heroically braving smoke and flames as they scaled ladders in an effort to rescue victims in upper stories of the blazing structure. Some employes, panic-stricken, leaped to their death, several were injured. One woman was miraculously saved when a fire lieutenant, ascending a ladder, caught her by the heel as she jumped from a window.

ELEGTRIC FIRM IS REORGANIZER Local Company Joins Move in Westinghouse Case. The Varney Electrical Supply Company, with warehouses in Indianapolis and Evansville, is one of nineteen wholesale electrical supply houses that joined in a reorganization as the Westinghouse Electric Supply Company, effective Jan. 1. The new name will be adopted at. that time, but management personnel and policies of the Varney company will continue unchanged. The Varney company, with the other eighteen supply firms, has been owned in the past by Westinghouse Commercial Investment Company, but all units conducted business under their own names. In the reorganization the Commercial Investment Company has changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Supply Company and subsidiaries will use the same name. Central reserve warehouses are being established at large cities among them Indianapolis, to make available quick delivery of a broader line of merchandise. J. H. Campbell is division manager in Indianapolis and O. L. Ferguson is sales manager. Forty persons are employed here and fifteen at Evansville, where J. H. Richards is branch manager. CHOIR DRAWS INTEREST Woolen School Students Have Competitive Try-Outs. Membership in the choir of the William Watson Woolen school, No. 45. at 2301 Park avenue, is considered a distinctive privilege by pupils.
