SOLONS GRATIFIED AT PROGRESS MADE Lawmakers Expect to Put Across Important Legislation During Week.
ONE FIGHT IS CERTAIN
Garnishee Bill Is Due to Encounter Rough Weather Labor Opposing It.
(National News Association) . INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 10. Gratified with the progress thus far accomplished, lawmakers, big and little,
started in this afternoon on the second half of the present session of the General Assembly determined to put across some of the most Important measures on tap. Although Insinuations were heard of undue haste and precipitate action on the Spencer public utilities commission measure, the members joined In hearty expressions of confidence in the wisdom of the framers of that measure, particularly in view of the fact that it carries the approval of Governor Ralston and his inner circle of counselors. Spencer's measure calls for a commission of five members, to receive $6,000 each annually, to absorb the present Btate railroad commission and have general supervision over the public utilities of the state, with power to make valuations, and regulate rates for interurban, water, gas elec
tric, steam railroads and other public service Institutions. There Is a disposition on the part of advocates of the garnishee bill (by Billman) to await the subsidence of the storm of opposition engendered against the measure by what appeared to be too zealous support on the part of merchants and other advocates who crowded the chamber and vigorously applauded the speeches in favor of Its passage. This open demonstration aroused labor organizations and resulted in a special meeting of labor leaders and others who threatened to get revenge later on if their professed friends in the legislature fail to put up a strong fight against It. It was the intention to bring up the measure later in the week in a quiet way and shove it through without a repetition of demonstrations It was generally conceded that the clamor of the grocers and other backers of the measure knocked their own game by attempting to bring too strong a pressure by their presence In the hall and hissing of the utterances of Representative Thornton and other opponents of any kind of garnishee bill which they asserted would not make dishonest workingmen honest. ; The bill would permit only ten per cent of a man's wages to be taken for ordinary debts when contracted for
the necessities of life. The anti-cocaine bill, socalled, introduced by Keegan (Indianapolis) and aimed at the indiscriminate sale of habit-forming drugs, but amended by Sands (South Bend) in a manner which caused Keegan to attempt to entirely withdraw it, has been engrossed, and the sentiment of the supporters of the original bill has grown In favor of its passage in its present shape in the belief that great good will result, although perhaps not all that they desired. A senate caucus Tuesday will decide the question as to whether Senator Shively's public utility bill shall be pushed, or Representative Spencer's house measure approved of. Spencer is quoted as being agreeable to have the Shively bill made to conform to his measure and surrender the honor to Shively of having fathered so Important a reform. The "throw her into the high" faction predicted a record-breaking week's work.

MARIE RITA SUETANS AND C. V. HALL.) NEW YORK, Feb. 10. The immigration officials have not decided whether they shall deport Marie Rita Suetans, eighteen years old, who was brought to New York about a year ago by Charles Victor Hall, the multi-millionaire oil magnate. The immigration authorities are holding Miss Suetans because of the fact that Mrs. Hall recently secured a divorce in Loa Angeles, naming the girl as co-respondent. Hall first met the girl when she was selling flowers in a small shop in Paris.

(Xational News Association') INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 10. Joy in the hearts of Sunday pleasure seekers
of Indiana may be turned into gloom when the Sunday theater and amusement bill sponsored by Senator Zearing of Indianapolis, comes up for final pasasge this week. The Zearing measure, which would legalize moving pictures, concert and theatrical performances between the hours of 1 p. m. and 11 p. m. on Sundays has been favorably reported by the Public Morals committee of the Senate, and was generally considered to be on the highway to success when ministers of the gospel and other advocates of strict Sabbath observance started agitation against it. Nasty rumors concerning the pernicious activity of moving picture show lobbyists are rife. Suggestions of public indignation meetings were numerous, not alone in Indianapolis, but throughout the state, according to reliable reports.
