Tho senate passed the bill for tho new constitution and the house will pass It. All Democrats In the senate except Senator Powers voted for the bill and all Republicans against It.

Trouble is expected when the bill comos up for passage. Representative Wise. Democrat. In troduced a bill In tho houso to re

peal the present legislative apportion' ment law. which was passed In 1905, and the hill passed the house. It is the purpose nf tho Democrats to pass this bill and then to pass a new apportionment acL If tho new act Is hold unconstitutional by the supremo court tho state will revert to the apportionment act of 1885. which was a Democratic law. Thus the Democrats expect to bo able to control tho next legislature. Several salary grab bills have been passed In the last few days, tho latest being the one passed by tho senate to Increase the salaries of the auditors of Vanderburg. Allen. St. Joseph and Vigo counties to $10.000 a year. The bill I nt end od to create the offico of state firo marshal was killed In the houso. Another bill killed was one which proposed to give creditors the right to garnishee ton per cont. of tho wageB or other credits of a dobtor. The bill was favorod by the retali merchants of the state, but It was killed by a large vote. The Hufford bill for the guaranty of bank deposits will probably pass the house, but it may not get through tho senate. Tho bill Is favorod by hankers hncause thev say it will on-

able them to coiupoto with the postal savings banks. There was a hot fight In the senate

over the appointment of members of the Joint conference committee on the liquor regulation bill. Senator Proctor, the father of the bill. Is a high license man. and he asked Lieutenant

Governor Hall to appoint him a member of the committee. The lieutenant governor called Senator Stotsenburg to the chair and ho appointed Senators Durre and Hauck. both low license men. as members, leaving Proctor off. Proctor stormed and appealed from tho decision, but the chair was sustalned. Proctor charged in a speech

that It was a frame-up by the brew- I crs so as to make sure of a low license blllv Speaker Veneman appointed Representative Seldonstlcker of Marlon county and Representative Grimmer of Lake county, both low license men. as the houso members of the committee. One of the things that has stood In tho way of rapid progress In both the houso and senate has been tho unusually large and active lobby which

t has overrun the floor of both houses. ' Thr lobbyists became so numerous and so insistent that It was almost

impossible for the members to get around on the floor. Rut the house Domocrats In the conference decided to instruct the doorkeeper to keep everybody off the floor who had no business there, and the rule Is being enforced. Representative Keegan of Marlon county, the author of the child labor bill which passed the house as drafted, after having been made the target for several amendments and which was emasculated In the senate committee on labor, predicted that the Mtfinnc: nf tha state Interested In

further protection of children would seek a party that Is disposed to keep platform pledges. Mr. Keegan severelv condemned the senate committee

seance at a local theater Captain Powell of the police department, with a

squad of five officers, walked on to the stage and placed Tom M. Sawyer, who advertised himself as a cosmopolitan exponent of spiritualism, under arrest.

A number of leaning citizens were on the stage. To Harry Lancaster, manager of tho American Express company here, Sawyer had promised to reveal the spirit of his grandmother, who died In Ireland 60 yoars ago. A group of newspaper men were also on the stage.
