PROBABLY the best satisfied member of
the legislature yesterday was Hon. G.. F.
Buck, the Senator from Winona. This sat
isfaction arose from two causes. The first
was brief message of the Governor an
nouncing that he had signed certain bills,
among which was Senate file No. 3, the meas
ure introduced by him early in the session
repeating certain legislation of last winter,
by which the city council of Winona had
certain of its rights legislated away. The
second cause of satisfaction was the passage
of his bill appropriating $1,000 to assist in
the prosecution of the anti-drive we'll suits,
of which he had the general direction, and
in the passage of which he felt deep

EVENING SESSION.

LIZ COhIn4IIEE Of 1dE WHILE,
Senator Macdonald in the chair, the bill ap-
propriating 1927, 900 to extend the grounds of
the State university and to purchase furniture
and an apparatus therefor was recommended to
pass; the bill relating to salaries of county au-
ditors was indefinitely postponed; the bill re-
lating to the compensation of district iud pes
was indefinitely postponed; the bill proposing
new method of arriving at the compensation
of county auditors was subjected to rigid
scrutiny and lengthy discussion and indefinite
ly postponed; the bill providing for the remov-
al of imbecile and feeble minded children from
the insane asylum to the institute for the deaf
and dumb and the blind was considered and
upon invitation of the committee DIR. Brewer
Mattocks was invited to make some remarks
upon the subject.
The doctor said that there were number of
children in the insane asylum who were not in
sane but were imbeciles, mostly children of
poor parents. They We're capable of receiving
the rudiments of education, and they are capa-
BILE of being taught to keep themselves clean
and to 50 conduct themselves as not to be the
laughing stock of the public. It was not
best to associate them with the pupils of the
deaf and dumb and blind asylum. These little
children were not, never had been and probably
never would be insane, but they were feeble
minded and were the children of parents who
were not paupers but were too poor to properly
take care of them, and they were sent to the in
sane asylum for want of more suitable place
for them. He did not consider
this a suitable place for them,
and in view of the fact
that the bright and healthy children of the
State were educated and placed in the way of
becoming useful citizens at the expense of the
State, he urged that something be done for
these helpless little ones who had but little ca
pacity for anything except for suffering. The
officers of the asylum have signifed their will
ingness to undertake the education Of these
children if they were placed in a separate
building, 1t was thought there were not more
than fifty of these children in the State, and it
was hoped that the State would care for these
children until the legislature met again, as an
experiment.. The bill was further discussed
by Senators Adams, Wedge and Thatcher, and
was laid aside for future deliberation.
The next measure claiming the serious at
tention of the committee was the bill for the
protection of navigation on the Mississippi
river and it's tributaries from the distractions
caused by the discharge of sawdust, slabs,
edgings ETC., f'om the mills, and other OBJ
STRUGGLING materials from other sources. The
bill was discussed by Senators J. B. Gilfllan
and p. NJ. Wilson, who opposed it; by Senators
Castle and Buell., who wanted it amended in
some of its particulars, and by Senators Reaney
and Q. D. Gilfllan, who favored its passage.
Pending its discussion the committee rose, re-
ported progress and asked leave to sit again.
Senate adjourned.

DURING the past three or four days the
legislature has created nearly a dozen new
railroads, and has proposed to donate to
each a quantity of the swamp lands that
have now or hereafter may inure to the
State. These grants are mostly based on
the suggestion of Major Fridley giving the
lands to them only in proportion to the
length of road actually constructed and
operated. They are not grabs in any sense
of the word, but use of the lands for the
purposes for which they were granted by
Congress.

THE SENATE.

Considerable excitement and indignation
was exhibited in the Senate yesterday over
the disposition made in the House of the
bill providing for the reorganization of the
Minnesota hospitals for the insane. In
formation was circulated among the SEN
ators that the bill had been defeated and q
substitute introduced which keeps the old
trustees in Office just as bill was being put
upon its final passage appropriating $780,
600 for building purposes at the Rochester
asylum, and, on the spur of the moment,
the friends of the reorganization bill con-
ceived the idea of shutting down upon any
further appropriations for these institutions
until a prospect of better management should
become manifest. Senator Doran said he
knew the temper of the Senate upon this
subject was in NO condition to be
trided with, and that from the
time the bill appro priating money for
the current expenses of these institutions had
passed the Senate and reached the House
that body had been besieged by corrupt men
lobbying for the defeat of the reorganization
bill and for the passage of the appropriation
bill that they might fatten off the money in
tended for the States unfortunates. Senator
d. Buck called the attention of the Senate to
the manner matters had been managed at
Rochester, and alluded to the statements
contained in the report of the committee on
insane relative to the unsatisfactory manner
building operations had been conducted
there and the excess of expenditures over the
amount appropriated. He said the manage
ment was rotten at st. Peter and they had
carried their rottennes to Rochester, and that
the board of trustees ought to be tarred and
feathered. He said he had recorded his last
vote for the support of these institutions SO
long as they we're conducted in the manner
they have been, and that he was astonished
and amazed at the log rolling and lobbying
brought to bear in this matter. Other SEN
ators spoke feelingly upon the aspect of the
matter, and the roll call showed barely the
requisite twentyone votes to pass the bill.
Some Senators, however, voted under mis-
apprehension, and a reconsideration of the
vote whereby the bill was passed will proba-
bly, take place to-day.
AS the result of the untiring efforts of
the friends of the bill appropriating $1,000
to aid the Minnesota Anti-Drive Well associ-
alton in contesting patents, that measure
passed the Senate.
