The only sensation of the house
yesterday, and it was not much OF
a sensation at that, was the report
of the Ives Impeachment matter,
which had been under consideration
by the house judiciary committee
for several weeks. The formal re-
port of the committee had been fore
stalled by rumors of more or less
accuracy, and While the report does
not furnish a statement of the vote
in the detail it is known that
Messrs. Dahl, Johns, Jones, j. D.,
Littleton, Smith, E. E., Reeves,
Feig, Barta and Guttersen voted in
favor of reporting articles of i'm
parchment, Messrs. Underleak,
Chairman of the commission,
Gibbs, Cant, Scofield, Douglas, An
opposing Impeachment.
1t is stated by a member of the
majority that those opposing the
Impeachment do SO on the theory
that the state cannot afford to as
sumo an expense of $50, 900, which
it is estimated it will cost to try the
case, for the sake of the good that
will be accomplished. The minority,
of course, do not admit that this is
the. reason of their opposition, and
hold that the evidence does not jus
tify the impeachment. The formal
report of the committee is in the fol-
lowing language:
ITn6nTlaol II fro, he
on Judiciary, to whom was referred a
petition charging Frank Ives, Judge
of the Fourteenth Judicial District OF
the State of Minnesota, with crimes,
misdemeanors and corrupt conduct in
of1ce as such judge, and asking that
said Frank Ives be impeached and
removed from said Office, reports that
SAID committee has investigat ted said
charges and has examined many wit
neSses in relation thereto, and that
said committee is unable tel agree upon
unanimous report in relation to such
charges and that, therefore, it will
make two reports a majority and a
minority report, and asks that the con-
slderation of such reports be made a
special order for Thursday evening
April IL, at 1880 p. M, at which time
said reports will be submitted to the
mouse for their consideration.
The house moved to adopt the s1g-
gestlon of the committee as to a sne-
clal hearing, and the matter will be
duly debated in special order next
Thursday evening.
outside of the judiciary committee
the opinion seems to prevail that the
mouse will support the minority report.
and that no Impeachment court will
be held. There are various reasons
Tor this opinion, but the most popular
one Is the ever-pressing argument of
economy. The legislature has been
rather lavish in the matter of apDro-
prlations, and many Republican mem
bers who, on principle and for Darty
reasons, would favor impeachment
40 not like to assume the responsible
1ty OF adding $4,000, or about that, to
the total of legislative appropriations,
INQUISITORS MUST REPORT.
Mr.. Underleak secured the adoption
OF resolution which had a very in
nocent look on it's face, but which, in
reality, will be fatal blow to severa,
gentlemen who had expected to rur
through long course of usefulness
as investigators of various people. in
stitutions and interests. The resolu
ton provides that all committees ap
pointed by the house for the investi
cation of any matters shall make fina
report to the house not later thar
April Is
1t was generally understood that the
committees to investigate railroad
:
make a summer job of it and repor-
to the next legislature, but Mr.. Under
leaks resolution heads them off ant
forces an early showing.
Mr.. Feig was not present, having
been engaged UP to a late hour las
night in the prosecution of work con
nected with his investigation, and hi
may demand a hearing and reconsider
alton later on, but the temper of the
mouse is undoubtedly adjusted to NEE
the requirements of Mr. Underleak':
resolution.
Almost the entire day was devoted
TO the final passage of bills, and the
calendar was completely cleared, only
two bills being left on it, and they b1
the request of the authors.
