ANOTHER EXECUTIVE VETO
GOVERNOR REFUSES TO APPROVE
THE CAUCUS PRISON BILL.
Senate Names William Henry Harri-
jects for National statuary Hall.

The firm stand taken by the House in
with the wishes of the people of the State
be passed. and no other, had the effect of
bringing the Senate to terms yesterday.
Messrs. Cranor and Haggard, the Senate
members of the joint conference commit
tee, conceded almost everything to the
House members, Messrs. Van Arsdel and
Petit, who agreed to amendments increas-
ing the salaries of Supreme judges $500
year and those, of the Appellate Court $3.50
a year. Mr.. Van Arsdel chairman of the
House committee on fees and salaries, in
fact, wanted these salaries increased, and
SO proposed in his original bill, although
the caucus ordered otherwise. So the report
of the conference committee, which was
adopted in both branches before the day
was over, is considered a big victory for
the House.
Several other changes were made in the
caucus bill, but they were for the purpose
of making phraseology clearer and stronger.
One of the Senators insisted on a change in
Section in order to make sure the collec-
ton of Incorporation fees. The State re-
ceived from this source between $4,000 and
$4,000 last year, and there was some fear
that the new salary bill might affect the
law which authorized the collection of fees
Prominent lawyers thought the salary bill
would make no change in the collection of
the fees, but to make it doubly certain a
clause was inserted by the conference com
mittee. The Supreme Court judges will now
receive $4,000 year and the Appellate
judges So, $50.
In the House Mr.. Van Arsdel explained
the report, which was concurred in by a
vote of n to TO-
he
yesterday afternoon soon after o'clock by
senator Cranor. In presenting the report
Senator Cranor said that to secure the
passage of the bill the Senators were COM
PEELED to recede from all the amendments
that had been offered making increases in
salaries in the several counties 1t was
either this or the Legislature would pass no
I@e and salary bill, the House members be-
ing set against any changes in salaries ex-
cept those of judges of the Supreme and
Appellate courts. The report of the COM
mittee is as follows:
