PROBABLY THE LAST of 1T.

Building and Loan Bill Lacked Two
syotes-May Not Be Called Again.
The last attempt at legislation at this
session looking toward the restr ction of
the big building and loan associations was
probably seen in the Senate yesterday morn
ing when the substitute for the Boord bill
failed of passage By a vote of % to %. The
friends of the bill were disheartened and the
lobby was jubilant, and it is doubtful if an
other attempt will be made to call the bill
up. The sensational episode connected
with the discussion was the very broad in
situation on the part of Senator Parker
that money had to do with the sentiment
against the bill. While he was. firing broad
side after broadside. at the lobby Senator
Vail asked what lobby the Senator had
reference to, and the reply was that he re-
ferred to the lobby back of Senator Vail.
How about the lobby that is back of
Senator Parkerg asked Senator Vail.
ssThere is no lobby back of me that has
money" was the rejoinder. II am for the
people that have been the sufferers from the
manipulations of these organizations and
do not press me too far or will tell what
I know
'sTell it, tell it, came from all parts of
the Senate.
YOU not to press me too far"
Senator Vail insisted that he pressed Sen
ator Parker to the limit, but the latter
would go no further.

the Senate resolved itself into committee

general appropriations bill with Senator
Parker in the chair The committee re-
manned in session until 6 o'clock and then
arose and reported progress. At the time
of rising the committee had reached Item

Importance. Senator Duncan moved to
amend the first item by increasing the salary
of the Acknowledgment from 100 to 1000
and the salary of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
from $500 to 81 200 but the amendment failed
Senator Leyden wanted to increase the
salary of the Governors clerk from $1,000
to $1,000 but this proposition met with the
same fate.
Senator Cranor offered an amendment in
creasng the Salary of the Attorney-general's
stenographer from $720 to $1,000, and the
amendment twas adopted. On motion of
Senator Kern the effice expenses of the
Reporter. OF the Supreme Court were in

Of senator LafoIlette $1,000 a year was APP
propriated for the publication OF the court s

Senator McMann's amendment for an APP

that of senator Gostlin for an advance in

Charges OF Clerk AgneM.

A. F. Knott, the Hammond attorney,
whom John w. Agnew, one of the House
clerks, accuses of attempting to offer a
bride for the theft of the anti-Roby BILL
is in the city. Last night he was vainly
attempting to get the Seller investigating
committee together to hear his side of the
case. He denies in toto the charges made
by Aenew, and claims the charge is a
''put-up job" which he will denounce when
the time comes. He says he has been in
Indianapolis during the present session sole
~ in the interest of the Lake county Supe-
rior Court, and has not lobbied against the
Rolby bill. 1.-THE only legislator / spoke to
concerning this BILL he said last night
was the Senator from our county, and 1

he did. would not give dollar for the
Roby bill, If, by obtaining possession of it,

to question of personal privilege and said
sIt has been asserted, not directly, but

had put in circulation the reports rejecting

AN UNFORTUNATE PARALLEL

AN UNFORTUNATE PARALLEL.
OF course, the "hour" WAS auful.
ly perilous'. but the fOssilized pol.
iticians, who assumed to call him
''from his political retirement"
drew a rather unfortunate-if not
deadly-parallel, between Cincin
natus and McEnery. Students of
Roman history are well aware Of
the fact, that when the committee
of the Senate waited upon Cincin-
natus, to offer him the Roman
sceptre and rescue the liberties of
the people already menaced by the
invading hosts, they found him
tilling his little field with a pillow.
But the student of contemporaries.
Gus Louisiana political history, is
equally cognizant of the notorious
fact that Judge McEnery never
stood between a pair of pillow hand
les, but on the contrary, has al.
ways occupied a soft berth.
