his request. had been furnished with copies
of the charges against him, together with
copies OF all the correspondence bearing on
the subject Senator Boyd said he had called
the attention of Mr.. Johnson to the state
ment that Senator Ellison had made. He
said that Johnson replied that he never

hearing before the committee on BENEVOLENT
institutions. Mr.. Johnson had stated that
he was convinced of the personal friendship
of Senator Boyd, and that he was perfectly
satisfied that the investigation should be
conducted by Senator Boyd's committee.

sensation, raising, as it did, sort of tri-
angular question Of veracity among Senator
Ellison Senator Boyd and Superintendent

ment but it is likely that he will hold
interview with Superintendent Johnson, and
that he will be heard from later.

SENATE FEE BILL.
Committee VIII Probably Recom-
mend It's Passage.

The Senate committee on fees and saIa-
rles held a meeting yesterday afternoon
after the adjournment of the Senate and
considered briefly the fee bill presented by
Senator Cranor. Several amendments were
proposed which it was thought would tend
to equalize the measure, and others will
probably be proposed. The sentiment of the
committee as far as expressed was favorable
to the bill. 1t is claimed for it that while
it provides compensation little in excess
of that contemplated by the fee and salary
bill that has been presented in the House
that it provides compensation on basis
that is absolutely fair. A member of the
committee stated to representative of the
Journal last evening that he believed the
the bill.
