FOUR NICHOLSON LAW CASES.
Magistrate NickersOn Assessed Fines
Against saloon Keepers.

Magistrate Nickerson yesterday decided
several of the Civic Leagues liquor cases
which he had taken under advisement. Pat
rick McNelis, proprietor of the Occidental
Hotel bar, was fined $40 and costs in each
of two cases. in one case he was fined for
allowing persons other than members OF
his family in the saloon at illegal hours. The
second case was for violation of Section
of the Nicholson law, which provides that
no screens or other distractions shall be
arranged to prevent full view of the en-
tire interior from the street. McNels's sa-
loon has an art glass front and there is
only small clear spot through which a
view of the interior can be had. By re-
quest Magistrate Nickerson went TO the sa-
loon and observed the arrangements. He
thought they were not in compliance with
the law. The affldavits in these cases Were
sworn to by MessrS. Newlin and White
head of the Y. NJ. &. A.
John Huegele was fined SO and costs for
violating the fourth section of the Nichol-
son law. 1t was shown that on Jan. 10 he
had curtain drawn in such a way that
the entire room could not be seen from the
street.
George *. Powell, saloon keeper opposite
the tunnel on South Illinois street was
fined $40 and costs for allowing persons
other than members of his family in the
saloon on Sunday. Jan. "a.

BOTH DEFEATED.
Intern ediate Prison and Supreme
Court Amendment Fail in Senate.

Before the consideration of Senator Hol-
ler's rcfolmatory or intermediate prison
bill, the special order for 2 o'clock in the
Senate yesterday afternoon. a number of
committee reports were made. Senator
Ellison asked that some bill on third read
ing be taken up until Senator Duncan was
present. as he wanted TO speak on the
prison bill.
A bill authorizing county surveyors to
perpetuate section corners located by
government survey, introduced BIZ Senator
Hogate. was called up and discussed. For
each corner perpetuated by new corner
stones in place of old stones about to be
obliterated, the surveyor is to receive s..
\ motion OF Senator Nusbaum to make it
81 was lost Senator Hogate said it had
been s. in the original bill, but had been
increased to s. by the committee without
any suggestion on his part. There is a
provision that when cornerstone is To-
Gated by the surveyor he shall give notice
TO adjacent land owners within ten days.
They may appeal to the Circuit Court. Aft
er a long discussion the bill failed for want
of constitutional majority.
PRISON BILL COMES UP.
Senator Hollers intermediate prison bill
then came UP on third reading. 1t was
first considered last week. when Senator
Ellison made a fervent speech urging its
passage.
In supporting the bill yesterday afternoon
Senator Duncan referred TO the fact that
the two prisons of the State are inadequate
and something must be done at once. AS
a matter of dollars and cents he thought
that the reformatory would be a good In
Vestment. IL would take a large amount
of money To enlarge the old prisons. He
believed that the State was bound to have
an institution of this kind. All agree that
such an institution il necessary, he said.
and the only question is as 10 whether this
is the time for il. As 10 the matter of ex-
pcnse. he said that most of the work could
be done by prisoners. and but little money
would have 10 be expended for skilled la
Dor. He declared that the State OF Indiana
was far behind other States in the respect
of modern idea OF reformation OF the Grim
inal.
After Senator Duncan had finished Sena-
consideration of the Dill be postponed un-
that the bill had been as thoroughly
studied as IL should be- He did not want
TO see the bill destroyed-said that there
would he no objections 10 its modification
If the Senate should SO desire. The mot On
to postpone was voted down.
Senator Hubbell said that he was thor
oughly In sympathy with the sentiment
OF the bill. but could not support IL because

was held at Zion Baptist Church. on Elev-
enth (old Second) street to discuss the bill
recently introduced by Representative
Jones abolishing the separate schools for
colored people. The meeting was attend

people, including most of the co1ored min
listers of the city. A resolution favoring the
bill was adopted almost without opposition.
The opposition came from colored school
teachers, who realize that the passage of

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage passed through
the city yesterday on his way to Danville to

pressed himself from the financial point of

thought that both would put money in cir
culation. a large part OF which would, in
time reach the poorer classes.

New House Bills.

Most of the morning session of the House
was occupied with committee reports upon
minor bills. The roll call for new bills was
gone over and number of measures intro
duced. Mr.. Engle had a bill applying the
short haul and rebate" clauses of the
nterstate-commerce bill to railroads oper-
ating within the State. Mr.. Thomas intro
duced a bill to regulate the purchase of
supplies of stationery and printing by coun-
ty commissioners, providing that bids shall
be received and public letting be made
after a due notice of the fact. The intent
of the bill is to prevent the robbery of
counties by collision between the commits
sioners and printing firms. Mr.. Littleton
presented bill providing method for the
impeachment of State officers. y bill that
was really serious, presented by Mr.. Purvis,
caused not little amusement. 1t provides
for the registration and licensing of BARRIERS
the bill, and the regulations for clean
towels and things are very specific.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL.
Unexpected Hitch i'm the Progress of
the BOard of Commerce Measure.

The State Board of Commerce is meet
ing with very unexpected difficulty in the
Senate in getting action upon the bill pre-
pared and Endorsed by it providing for the
appointment of a commission of three by the
Governor to undertake the work of revising
the laws of the State relating to local gov
eminent. The demand for reform in town
ship and county methods of government
has become very general, owing TO the nu-
merous scandals that have arisen through
the operation of township trustees in pur-
chasing supplies and through the dark
lantern methods of some county commits
sioners in letting contracts. The work. it
is believed is one of too much importance
and Of too many details 10 be undertaken In
the month two of time that could have
been devoted to it before this session OF the
Legislature.
Accordingly. the bill prepared by the
state board provides for the appointment of
a commission of three by the Governor. VINO
shall undertake during the next two years
to make a thorough revision OF the laws
relating to local government The limit or
expense that can be put upon the State Is
81 900 per year. There is neither job nor
steal in the bill. and it passed the House,
where it was introduced by Mr. Linck, with
out objection. In the Senate II was re-
ferred to the committee on county and
township business, headed by Senator Gill
bert. and was Immediately reported back
with death warrant. Upon the request of
WeHlDeTS OF the state DOdru OelldloI bllDCIl
obtained consent to have the bill re-referred
to the committee, and there it has lain
even since. 1t was discussed once or twice
and two substitutes were prepared, one pro-
viding for a commission of three holdover
senators TO be appointed by the lieutenant
governor. and the other, providing for a
commission of six to be selected by the Leg
islature, three from each house.
The Senate committee took up the bill at
"A meeting Immediately after adjournment
yesterday afternoon and decided TO offer
a substitute for the Self bill (No. 49, The
substitute will provide for the appointment
of a board of three commissioners, all of
whom are to be hold-over senators. Instead
of being in the hands of the Governor, the
appointments are to be made by the Senate.
As reason for this change it is said that
three commissions were appointed by the
Governor two years ago to make reports
TO the Legislature. Although the commits
siOns labored long and arduOusiy and made
ample reports of their work. so far no ac-
ton has been taken the reports they
made. The substitute will provide that the
commissioners shall serve without pay. In
other respects 1t will differ but little from
the original.
