HAMMOND BILL HELD UP
GOVERNOR AFTER DEPOSITING 1T.
RECALLS 1T FROM SECRETARY.
This Procedure without Precedent
The Measure "a Big scheme for
the Wolf Lake Harbor.

Governor Mount yesterday recalled from
the secretary Of state. with whom he had
deposited it, the bill passed by the Legis-
lature for the purpose OF enabling Ham
mond to issue bonds and condemn a right
OF way to- dig "A canal from Lake Michigan
TO Wolf lake and convert the latter into "a
harbOr. The Governor deposited this bill
with the secretary of state on Tuesday last
without his approval. but not vetoed. 1t
came TO him after the expiration of the
legislative term and the Constitution gives
him ten days in which TO consider such
bills. Since then he has been shOwered
with letters from Hammond protesting
against the measure. and this morning he
made "A request To the secretary Of state
for its return. The question arose as to
whether bill once deposited with the sec
rotary could be returned to the Governor
and Secretary owen asked an opinion from
the attorney general upon this point. The
attorney general decided that the demand
or the Governor was within the law and
the enrolled bill was returned.
While the Governor does not say so posi-
the measure. and it will thus so to the next
Legislature for its consideration. The act
IN question gives the city of Hammond
the right to construct an entirely new har-
Dor. canal or waterway, and to deepen or
improve any now partially constructed. ard
declares that for the purpose il may loan
the credit OF the city, as is now provided by
law, In cases or public Improvement"

EFFECTS OF THE NULL LAW.
Calls Attention of the Heads
of Institutions to 1t.

Deputy Auditor of State Hart yesterday
said he thought the Null bill, requiring re-
ceipts and vouchers to be fled FOR all eX-
penditures of officers of state institutions
and departments would save the State in
the neghborhood of $4,000 a year. The law
has an emergency clause and has already
gone into effect. Accordingly the auditor of
state has had the provisions of the act
printed upon the back of the blank form of
voucher, thus calling attention of the heads
of the institutions to il.
Chairman Null. of the Senate finance
committee, in speaking of the reason for
the measure. said: Il am convinced that
our next reform in the matter of the state
institutions must be an effort to reduce the
expenses of administration. Subsistence
cost is a comparatively small percentage of
what appropriate as maintenance. The
heavy item of expense Is administration,
and this is higher in Indiana than IL is in
the older States. This administration eX-
pense goes entirely to pay the salaries and
expenses of the management. and those sal
aries have not been reduced during the hard
times. This law will help us To determine
just how much money is necessary for adj
ministration and how much for subsistence
of the inmates and the next Legislature
can appropriate more intelligently by divid-
ing the maintenance fund into subsistence
and administration funds.

MARION CLUB INSTALLATION.
Retiring President ROthschiId Re-
membered Handsomely.

The new officers of the Marion Club were
installed last night with becoming cere-
monies. Ex-President Rothschild made his
farewell address, which was not only a
model of oratory, but gave evidence of a
model system of management and finance.
His report showed a balance of 500 In the
treasury Hitherto the club has been in
debt at the end of the year, and 1T is "a mat
ter of special congratulation among the
club members that they have no debts
hanging over their heads. The report also
showed an increased membership of 263. AT
the commencement of Mr.. Rothschild 5
term of office there were but 800 members;
now there are 563.
President Haas made his inaugural adj
dress, and his promises to keep up The pace
set by his predecessor were hailed with
loud acclaim. At the close of his speech
Frank l.. Littleton stood up, and at the end
of neat presentation speech handed Mr..
Rothschild a handsome gold chain and
charm in token of the clubs appreciation
of his services. The charm is suitably en-
graved with the name of him TO whom il is
given, and the Marion Club as the donor
In the center is set a sparkling diamond.
President Haas announced his new COM
mittees follows.

SORT OF INDIAN GIVING"
PUBLISHING FIRM WANTS LEGISLA-
TORS TO SEND BACK THE BOOKS.
The Agent VIII Have to Come After
the HOrner Statutes-Mr. NichOl-
son ON Quart-ShOp Bill.

The members of the Legislature are vast
fishing firm of L. b. Meyers & Co.. of Chi
Statutes. At the beginning Of the session
a set of these statutes. which were COM
piled and edited by Senator Horner, was
placed upon the desk of each member. A
little later bill came slipping through to
purchase these statutes at the expense of
the State for the benefit of the members.
This was promptly killed when ii showed
its head i'm the House. and it's companion
met like fate in the Senate. When MEM
bers had asked the custodian about the
books they had been told that they had
been left there by the agent of Meyers q
CO.. as a present TO the members. On the
duced in the House resolution voting the
firm $500 for the statutes. This was de-
feated and later in the day Mr.. Kratz made
motion TO reconsider the vote by which
it was defeated. This motion to reconsider
was promptly tabled. The last act in this
little drama came yesterday when each
member received at his home a note from
Meyers & Co., asking him to return the
statutes. The note was follows:
I'VE wrote you to deliver the set of
Horrer's Indiana Statutes placed on your
desk FOR examination during the recent ses-
sion to representative but he was I'M
able to you. Therefore, please deliver
10 the bearer and this snail be your re-
ceipt."
The presumption is that agent of the
firm will call upon members at their homes
and gather up the books.

NEW QUART-SHOP LAW.
Why 1t Is EffectiVe-OpiniOn of the
Attorney General.


Concerning the contention or Messrs. Will
loughby and Peckinpaugh that the quart
shop law is ineffective on account of failure
to amend the penal clause of the old
statute. Mr.. Nicholson. author of the meas
ure. writes to the Journal follows:
II see by the Journal this morning that
an alleged discovery has been made rela-
tive TO the new anti-quart-shop measure.
1t may be that with my friend Wiloughby
ct al. the wish is father TO the thought
in thinking that there is no penalty TO the
new law. Well. let us see. The
new law. amends Sections 1, 5
and Z of the old license law of
1875. Then the law stands as originally
with these sections in the amended form.
Section II of the original act contains the
well to the old. In that section there
are two offenses recognized. One for SELL
ing in less quantities than a quart at a
the quantity The first, OF course becomes
null and void. while the latter remains an
effective penalty. The fact of these two

sure there can be no question about
this and any man that undertakes To sell
contrary to the new law must know that
he is liable to a fine of from 500 to 800 and
to- imprisonment for from thirty days to six
months. With all due Difference to the
opinions given by the attorneys mentioned
in the Journal of to-day. l choose TO take
the decision of the Supreme Court in con-
STRUNG Section II as referred to above.
Attorney General Ketcham said on this
subject yesterday: THE bill amends Sec
tions 1, and of the act of March L.
1875, by striking out of that law wherever il
appears i'm those sections, the words in less
quantities than a quart at time The
amended sections, from the time Of the pas
sage of this bill. are as to future transac-
tions. treated as though they had been
originally embodied in the law passed
There is no need for a penalty In the new
law, as 1t is already provided for in the
old. In other words. the bill is just an
amendment of the old law. The penalty
for selling in less quantities than a quart
without being licensed, for selling to be
drunk on the premises is not less than 81
fine nor more than $780, and from thirty
