by it. The house redeemed itself Friday when it passed the Koenig-Dlckinson bill providing for a nine-hour work

J day for ..women, with a . limit of fifty ' hours in any one week. The bill passed

by a vote of 66 to 23.v There was a lot of oratorical fireworks while ' the 'bill was under consideration, but there was no way to stop the members from voting for the bill. A number who voted

against the Keogan bill several days ago voted'for this bill. , There was also a nice fight in the house over the passage of the Fleming primary bill, introduced by Representative Fleming of Portland. This bill provides that all state nominations shall be made by delegate conventions, the delegates to be elected primaries held under legat safeguards. It also provides for a state-wide presidential preference vote at primaries. Alf other nominations, including congressional. legislative. Judicial, county, township, city and town, shall be- made by direct primaries but the voters have th right to change this plan if they wish to do so. In order

to do this a petition signed by l'por cent of the voters of the district, county, city, etc., may be filed and the question will be submitted to the voters at the January party organization primaries. If a'majorlty of the voters vote in favor of nominating by primaries then the " nominations will be made that way. Otherwise the nominations will be made by primaries. When the bill was taken up Representative Crawford of Fayette county moved to substitute the John R. Jones bill for the Fleming bill. The Jones bill provided for direct primaries for all nominations. The Crawford motion failed, however, and the Fleming bill went through by a vote of 76 to 14. Whilethe Fleming bill was not in reality an administration bill, it is understood that it is satisfactory to the administration adn . the democratic

state organization. It will pass the.

senate. The senate passed the bill already

passed by the house to separate the Iake-Porter circuit court and give each county a circuit court. The bill Is now ready for the governor to sign. The house also passed the Moran bill

providing for medical examination of all firemen before appointment before they will be eligible to participate in the firemen' pension fund. Another salary raising bill was introduced by Senator Greenweil to authorize an increase of $4,000 to J5.000 In the salary of the Allen county auditor ofr actin as city treasurer. The house passed the senate- bill which provides that where a saloon has been put out of business by a court decision the saloonkeeper may have refunded to him to portion of his licens efee for the time the license would 1 have to run.

The senate committee on public mor. als killed the bill which would have prohibit shipments of liquor into dry territory. The bill which was intended to prohibit all work, amusements, theatres, baseball and other forms of amusement on Sunday was killed by a senate committee. The house passed a bill to appropriate f 20.000 to pay for taking to Gettysburg, Pa., next July Indiana surviving soldiers who fought in the battle of Gettysburg. There will be a reunion of Union and Confederate soldiers of that battle at that time. ' The adjutant general of the O. A. R. is au

thorized to prepare a list of all such soldiers in the senate anl all are to be taken on the trip adn all of tbeir expenses paid. The senate adjourned yesterday afternoon till Monday afternoon, but the house remained in session today, to celebrate Washington's birthday. The Twenty-third regiment band from Fort Benjamin Harrison, together with the officers of the regiment, attended the exercises this forenoon.
