LANSING, May 2T.-The Senate COM
mlttee on Finance and appropriations
made the report already Published or
It's investigation OF the Industrial Home
for Girls At Adrlan. Tue report was
adopted without objection. The sub
stiEute Senate bill torelieve the jnsticesof
the Supreme Court was passed this morn
ing by 1syeas 10 7nays. The house bill 10
approoriate SOP 500 for the state normal
school for 1912 was favorably reported
and made the SPECIAL order tor Friday
next Al 10 AIN.
More Pap For Partisans.
Senator Wisner's bill 10 create state
board OF inspectors for the management
OF the penal institutions was brought
up aud amended SO as To include the
asylum Tor insane criminals, which was
omitted from the hill before by request.
The management OF the institution
now desires 10 be included. Senator
Wisner opened his partisan heart sutfi-
gently 10 advocate the giving or one
InenIber of the board OF four to the
opposite political party. Senator Sharp
wishes To provide that not more than
three members shall be of the same
party. Senator Gilbert wanted the
salary of the members fixed at 1000
per annum instead OF s. per day. The
weight of all these ponderous amend
iEents made the Senate tired and II laid
The bill aside for resting spell.
What shall IL be Called.
The Senate had an interesting time
with the st. Joseph Benton Harbor
snarl. The majority OF the committee
on cities and villages, of which Senator
Beers. from near ST. Joseph, is chair
man, reported III favor OF passing the
bllf as Il came from the house, with the
name OF Port Michigan" attached to
the new city. This did not sult the
chairman, however, and he came in
with "A mi norlty report IN favor of the
name ''St. Joseph" This would be
''gali and wormwood" and several
other bitter things to Benton Harbor,
and so Senator Mines took up the
cudgels for that village. The Senate
very strangely adopted the minority
report. The bill was made the special
order for Tuesday next at 1890 AM.
This opens up the whole fight again and
Will doubtless lead To disagreement be-
tween the houses.

mlttee on Judiciary favorably reported
