probably come up again and be either

The first part Of the morning session was
taken up with the introduction of bills,
several of which possess features.of general
interest.
Another of Mr.. Searles' bills is to regu-
ate the employment OF convicts il the re-
formatory. and the only change it proposes

When the house reassembled at Q o'clock
it took up, as special order. Mr.. Bjorge's
bill, house file 222 providing for the aboli-
ton OF cabital punishment. Mr.. Kinney
was called to the chair, and Mr.. Bjorge
moved that the bill be recommended to
pass. Mr.. Feig moved that it be indefi-
nitely postponed. Before tht question was
put Mr.. Bjorge made an earnest appeal to
have his hi III hQCOme law
Mr.. Gallagher favored the bill and cited
the case of Pete Barrett to show that inno-
cent people were hanged for murder. Mr..
McAllister followed suit. Mr.. Walsh Of
Hennepin believed that great crimes should
meet with great penalties aud that life i'm
prisonment was but fares.
Mr.. Bjorge in Introducing the debate,
said he could not see in what way the state
was benefited by the execution of q MUIR
derer. He held that many great criminals
were turned loose on the community be-
cause the death punishment was so severe
and so serious that juries hcsitated to ask
for its infliction.
The motion to indefinitely postpone the
bill was then put and carried by "a large
majority.
