THE legislative resolution provid-
ing for committee to inquire into
and report upon the number and
salaries Of employees in the several de-
partments of state has failed of pas
sage in the assembly. a feeling that
there was in no department more me-
cessity for correction than In the leg
stature itself. and that no investiga-
ton could be or was designed to be ef-
fective for the present session, led to
the defeat Of the proposition. Thus

Special Session for Apportionment.

After reading much upon the
question of whether re-apportlon-
ment OF the state can constifntlonally
be made at speciel session Of the
legislature held subsequent to the
assent to the affirmative Of the
proposition must be given. That the
governor should call the legislature
in special session for the purpose
does not 40 clearly appear. Political
bias largely determines opinion upon
that point. Republicans will gener-
ally favor, and democrats generally
oppose ii. Aside from party con-
siaerations THE TRIBUNE unhesi-
tatingly takes position for a special
session. Otherwise apportionlnent
under tire census about to be taken
cannot be made until ls97-two years
hence. and after the election Of 1896.
Az the time the state constitution
was framed. annual sessions Of the
legislature were contemplated.
With biennial sessions Of the legisla-
ture, a provision that apportionment
could only be made IT 4 regular ses-
sion falling two years after the tax

gruous. That re-apportionnent

PRESIDENT LANGSDALE RESIGNS.
He Concludes to Withdraw from the
Monument Commission.

George j. Langsdale, president of the
Soldiers and Sailors Monument Commits
sion, yesterday, forwarded his written res
ignation to Governor Matthews, as a men,
Der of the commission. He asks that it be
allowed to take effect On March 8, sixty
days from date. No reason is assigned for
Withdrawing from the commission with
which he has been connected as president
since the commission was organized eight
years ago, but it is known that as the
large contracts have all been let and the
monument is about completed as far as
projecting work is concerned, Mr.. Langs-
dale feels that he cannot longer give his
time to this work. His reason for naming
a date after the adjournment of the Leg
islature is for the purpose of being present
to give the Legislature any information it
may desire. The compensation of the COM
missioners is 81 a day and it is known that
Mr.. Langsdaie has made sacrifices in order
to perfect the work in which the State now
takes so much pride, not only for what it
memorializes but for it's artistic success.
The law provides that the successor shall
be elected by the Governor. Auditor, Treas
urer and Secretary of State.
President Langsdale resigned his position
as a monument commissioner four years
ago, during the administration of the late
Thomas Bennett. but was prevailed upon
to reconsider his action. 1t Is stated that,
at that time, Mr.. Langsdaie was dfssatis-
fled with a resolution which Commissioner
Bennett successfully proposed. The CON-
missioners felt that the monument work
was costing the State too much money
and decided to cut the expense of the
Office of president. President Langsdale
he'd been receiving 81 a day continuously,
and the resolution of Commissioner Ben
nett provided that he should be paid only
for the days that the board was in ses-
sion. This action piqued the president to
such an extent that he offered his resigna>
ton, but withdrew it again when the mat
ter was adjusted TO his satisfaction. The
assertion is made that Mr.. Langsdale's late
step may have resulted from the same
action taken by the board regarding Clerk
Gilliland. Until three months ago the latter
was a fixture of the Office in the State
house. Since then the Office of clerk has
not existed. although Mr.. Gilliland has
drawn his salary part of the time. The
commissioners abolished the office because
they thought liz was too much of a sinecure.
President Langsdale objected strenuously
to the discharge of his clerk, eontending
that he could not carry on the business of
the office without an assistant. Clerk Gill;
land was an efficient man and his Office
was cut off solely in the interests of econ
omy. The month following the adjustment
of the Office il is said that the regular
bill for clerical service was sent in. The
commissioners did not allow it without a
protest. and requested the president to
see that no more bills of a like character
were presented. The resignation Of PRESS
dent Langsdale was a surprise 20 the other
members OF the commission,

THE PIANO PLAYERS RECITAL.
Smith Told Him of Some that
Was Coming.

DR.. Joseph Marsee made a post mortem
examination of the body of Weston Thorn
as. the murdered man, on the morning of
July Il. He was called by the prosecutor.
yesterday, to give expert testimony as to
the nature of the wounds found on the
body of Thomas. The left arm disclosed a
superficial cut perhaps an inch deep, rang
ing across the arm. The cut was at the
level of the lower end of the coat sleeve,
on the under side of the arm. The surgeon
found another knife wound on the left side
of the body, about half way round. meas
uring from the right side. 1t appeared to
be about an inch deep and an inch and a
half long. Half of the wound ran down to
the depth of the eighth rib. The surgeon
described the wound on the neck. 1t began
about three-quarters of an inch from what
is termed as the center of the neck. 1t
ran parallel with the collarbone a dis
lance of three inches. At It's deepest part
the wound was perhaps an inch and a half
in depth. The internal jugular vein the
surgeon found almost entirely severed. The
wound. the physician said. was almost
necessarily fatal, although he thought that
life might have been saved had a skiilful
surgeon been called within a few minutes
after the fatal blow. The witness did not
think the blood would be forced a great
way from the body by the pulsations. He
thought several pints of blood must have
flowed from the wound before death. He
was of the opinion that the knife had been
inserted from behind and drawn forward
in relation to the wound in the side.
Mr.. Van Norhis conducted the cross-ex-
animation of the surgeon. This examina-
ton developed a clearer description of the
wounds, the witness illustrating the char
acter of the knife thrusts by utilizing the
plant frame of q newspaper reporter. He
found the death wound a bit ragged and
uneven. but did not think it had been made
with a dull knife. Al least not with a
knife possessing the keen edge OF a sur
geon's instrument.
George Suss. the plano player employed
at Brighton Beach on the fatal night, told
a thrilling story of the tragedy. Suss came
TO America from Germany at the age of
fourteen years. He boarded at the re-
sort and lodged at a neighboring house.

THE TWO.PER-CENT. LIMIT.
Acknowledgement Gives an Opinion
Regarding school Boards Power.

Acknowledgement Ketcham, yesterday, de-
liyered to superintendent of Public In
struction Worries an opinion as to the right
of a school board to issue school warrants
PAYABLE in two, three and five years. and
to raise the levy high enough to meet
these when they become due. The question
grows out of a complication in a city in
the eastern part of the State, where school
buildings costing $4,000 were contracted for
and then it was found that the municipal
debt was within $4,000 of the 2 per cent.
limit. The Council, therefore, only issued
bonds for $1,000. This does not permit the
schoolhouses to be finished. Mr.. Ketcham
holds that the spirit of the law is rather
to restrict the borrowing power of school
boards instead of charging it. AS a condi-
ton precedent. he says, of the right to
harrow money to the extent of $50, 900 for
the purpose of paying for the completion
of buildings or the purchase of property on
which to erect buildings:
THE school trustees are required TO nle
with the council a statement showing, ta).
the necessity therefor; OBJ, the estimated
cost: (c), the amount of means necessary
to be provided, and no purchase shall be
made or contract entered into until their
action is approved.
The opinion concludes as follows:
.sIf. as / judge from your letter, the
Council had been asked TO issue bonds TO
Council only authorized the issue of SIG. 090,
no further issue can be made until further
authority is asked and further permission
given There might be a question as to
whether a second application could be per-
mitted. but l find no authority in the re-
norfs denying il and / believe it would be
within the the act ana 70 isss ae.h but no sq bonds : can be-
issued in excess of the amount authorized
by the Council
