Among the provisions of the various bills is the commission idea.

banded together solidly is of itself a big thing in a membership of one hundred. They have entered Into a solemn compact to stand together on all matters affecting their interests. Whether

they will go farther and undertake to use their power on other legislation is

not yet known-

May Sell State House. The proposition for tho sale of the

present state house to Marion county

for a court house is taking on a esrl-

ous aspect. The bill will be introduced

in a few days by Representative Cravens. It will probably provide for the creation of a commission authorized to condemn the ground in the two squares directly north of University park so It

may be acquired by the state. It will provide also for the sale of the present state house property to Marion county, and it will appropriate $5,000,000 with which to start the state house project. The commission will be authorized by the bill to use such portion of this $5,000,000 as it may need to acquire the ground, and Cravens says that the remainder of this money, together with what Marion county pays for the state houes property, will go a long way to

ward the erection of the state house

and other buildings which would be erected on the new site.

Treat For Lawmakers.

All of the members of the House

and Senate were provided, yesterday

with free tickets to one of the .locar theaters for a performance this week. Next week they are to receive free tickets to one of the other theaters, and the next week to some other theater and so on until they have made the rounds of all of the theaters in town. The fact is that the Indianapolis theater managers want a law passed that will enable them to give Sunday performances, "and thse free tickets are for the purpose of cultivating friendly relations with the members so as to make the sledding as easy as possible for the bill. The picture show managers association also is on the ground with two lobbyists, and they are planning the introduction of a bill to permit them to keep their shows open on Sundays. (H Constitution , Seems Amured. It looks like ' Indiana is bound to have-a -new constitution. Democrats, Republicans and Bull Moosers have all introduced bills for the calling of a constitutional convention for the purpose of revising the present constitution or making" a new constitution. This makes it practically certain that one bill will go. through, . and If will probably be the Democratic bill. Since the banquet which Tom Taggart gave to the legislators the other night at which Taggart, Ralston and all of the other speakers declared In favor of liberal appropriations for the state university and other state colleges It looks like, they will g about all they want. It was a bold stroke, but the banquet turned out to be a regular boosting party for large appropriations for the state schools.

Crumpacker and Governor Marshall be

ing more particularly mentioned. In j

connection with this matter Secretary M. E. Crites was Instructed to meet with the breakwater committee and from letters of appreciation to be sent to everybody whom the committee could discover, contributed to the successful termination of the campaign waged by the club for the placing of the Indiana Harbor harbor proposition on th standing appropriation list. Mr. Charles E. Fowler chairman of the transportation committee read a report on the count of passengers that took place last wek at the Pennsylvania railroad station. He declared that the county had fully substantiated the claims made by the club to the State Railroad Commission in its fight for a new depot at this point. Superintendent E. NV Canine chairman of the educational committee arrived from Chicago, where he had been

attending a convention of the Cook ' county superintendents, Just In time to J heard President Riley call for a report j from his committee. While Mr. Canine had nothing to report from his com-' mittee he gave some very Interesting Information in reference to vocational education. He also stated that the

manual training and domestic science teaching staff in the schools had been Increased, and that boys and girls who had been compelled by experiences to leave school,' but who were not satis

fied with the amount of learning theyj

nad acquired, couia take up special branches, convenient hours being arranged for this class of pupils. Mr. C. K. Wallace who represented the club at the good roads- convention in Indianapolis last month turned In

a written report of tho doings of that i body. His report was very interesting. ! The secretary was instructed to send :

letters of condolence to the families of the late Barney Cohen and Mrs. Thomas Lewis who died last week.
