STATE TREASURER'S BOND.

Surprise Sprung During tho Debate on
the Schmidt Bill.
During the progress of. the discussion
of the Schmidt bill in the house a sur.
prise was sprung when Representative
Staples made the statement that Treas.
urer Koerner had not yet been able to
secure his official bond of $40O, 600. The
cause of the trouble is not due to any
loss Of confidence in Mr.. Koerner, but
the question of bond goes beyond him
and includes evefy banking concern
with which he may have to do
business. In such times as these such
q risk is by no means a small one, and
20 moneyed men are not anxious t. as.
sumo it. Meanwhile the treasurer is
serving under the bond which he gave
two years ago, at the commencement
Of his first term. There is good deal
Of q question as to whether or not this
old bond is binding for period be-
yond the first two years. The courts
have held both ways on, the matter, but
the preponderance Of opinion is said to
be to the effect that the bond is not
good for q period longer than the term
Of the Office. which in this case is two
gears.

State Senate, in Committee OF
the Whole, Endorses the
Repeal Bill.
Measure to Prevent Memorial
Day Dissertation Rec
commended.
Speech in the House In De-
Tense of Secretary Of
State Berg.

ST. PAUL, Feb. Sin committee OF
the whole yesterday the senate, with
out discussion, voted in favor of repeal
ing the struck jury law. The judiciary
committee had reported favorably Oh
Senator Reishus' bill to repeal the 1906
law for struck juries, and adversely on
the Potter bill, which merely proposed
to amend the law. The reports were
adopted in committee of the whole in
both cases almost unanimously, and
there seems little doubt that the
Reishus bill will pass the senate when
it comes up for final action. Among
other measures recommended to pass
was French's bill to prevent desecra-
ton of Memorial day. Before vote
was reached, however, it was amended
SO it's author would hardly recognize it.
Senator Theden Aroused.
The session of the senate opened with
a statement in behalf of the committee
to investigate department stores, Sena-
tor Theden resenting the imputation
contained in a Minneapolis publication
which purported to be an interview
with a couple of Minneapolis mer-
chants. Senator Theden vigorously de.
nounced the interview as false, low,
libelous aud unjustified. No action
was suggested or taken on Mr.. The.
denis remarks.
A communication from Treasurer
Koerner was submitted showing the
amounts of state money held in defunct
banks and certain data concerning the
states portion in each case. Mr.. Koer.
ner concluded his statement by saying
he was satisfied that the state will
suffer no great loss, if any, by the fail.
ure of the banks.

tors Defeated.
House Members Could See No
Reason for the Passage OF
the Measure.
Senate judiciary Committee
Opposed to the Griffin
Appointment.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 30-The feature of
the house session yesterday was the de-
bnre on the Hayter bill to prohibit the
election Of any governor or governor
elect as United States senator. The
matter came up in committee OF the
whole and the opposition was led by
Mr. jacobson, who said that he could
see no sufficient reason for the measure
becoming law. Mr.. Donnelly also
took the same view of the question and
incidentally paid his respects to ex-
Senator Washburn. He said he re.
garded the election of Knute Nelson
(at whom the bill was aimed) as tri.
umph of good government over ring
rule. Mr.. Hayter, author OF the meas
ure, made hard fight to save it. but
when vote was taken it was recon-
mendcd for indefinite postponement.
Other Measures Acted On.
Bills acted on under general orders in
the house, in addition to the above, were
disposed of as follows:

Important House Bills.
Among the dozen or more new meas
ures III the house was one from Mr..
Donuelly to require banks to post
daily notice of their condition, includ-
ing full synopsis Of assets and liabili'
ties Mr.. Donnelly entertains the
opinion that such a public statement
will keep the public informed in way
impossible to be expected from the
bank examiner.
In H. F. $50 a constitutional amend.
ment was proposed by Mr.. Dale Of
Hennepin. It limits all state apprO.
priations, as we'll as those Of counties,
towns, villages, ETC., solely to the use
Of institutions under direct and exclu-
sive public control.

Deposited.

mission but 1t Meets
Opposition.
Treasurer koerner Said to
Be Unable to Secure
BOndSmen.

Sr. PAUL, Feb. 2.-The house spent
IN hour in general orders yesterday
morning discussing Mr.. Schmidt's bill
to create a board which shall denom-
mate the bank in which the state funds
shall be deposited. The bill is intended
to relieve the state treasurer Of select
ing Repositories, and, though he had
not requested the introduction of the
bill, Treasurer Koerner is understood
tc be strongly in favor of it.
representative jacobson made a
strong fight against the bill, holding
that itwould have tendency to re-
lease the treasurer from great share
Of the responsibility that now rests
upon him. In this position he was sus-
tanned by Mr.. Staples, and, between
them, they secured the resubmission of
the bill to the committee on banks.
Work on the Calendar.
Mr.. Fosnes' bill to repeal the horse.
thief bounty law was amended SO as to
make exception of cases in which ar
rests had been made for previous steal
iugs of horses. It was then passed.
Mr.. Dunn's bill adding several holi.
days to the list of bank holidays was
on the calendar for passage, but was
referred to the judiciary committee at
the request Of Mr.. Johns.
Judge Jittleton's bill to amend the
law so as to allow cooperation cream
cries and like corporations to amend or
renew articles of incorporation at q
special meeting was passed.
Mr.. Staples sent up q resolution,
which was adopted upon roll call, en-.
towering the committee to investigate
the Mountain Iron mine, to pay ex-
penses of witnesses, etc., without wait.
ing to submit each item of expense to
the legislature or reference to the legis.
lative expense committee.
Committee Reports. Etc.
The committee on public health,
dairy and food, recommended indefinite
postponement of the Sampson bill, per.
tanning to field instruction in making
butter, cheese. etc. Mr.. Feig assented
when he was informed by Mr.. Hender.
son that q substitute bill was in
course of preparation.
Mr.. Feig called up his resolution sug-
eesting committee to investigate the
cause of bank failures. Mr.. Barta
asked that action be deferred in the
absence of his colleague (Mr. McDon.
add. Mr.. Feig agreed to the request.
Five new measures were introduced.
One by Mr.. Johns limits the legal rate
of interest to = per cent. 1t allows

TRUMAN GRIFFIN CASE.

Senate Judiciary Committee Against MS
Confirmation.
The senate judiciary committee, by a
vote of to 3, has decided that the gov
ernor had no right to appoint Trum.n
Griffin to q place Oh the state phar-
macy board, and that. there fOre, the
appointment should not be confirmed
by the senate. In case the senate
agrees to this the governor will be at
loggerheads with that body unless he
consents to send in the name Of Il. G.
Webster, who was the man picked out
for appointment by the State Pharma.
ceutical association.
The consideration Of the question
was in executive session and the mo.
ton which finally passed was made by
Senator Schaller, and it was to the
effect that Truman Griffin was not
eligible to appointment under the act
of 1885, providing how members Of the
pharmacy board are to be appointed.
Senators "Play Horse"
The senatorial jokers wasted . lot f
valuable time during the morning un-
der the leadership Of the irrepressible
Kellar, discussing q facetious bill re-
curing saloons to exhibit large signs
bearing the words "Saloon" and ''Dan-
gerous." After each senator had
cracked the best joke at his command
on the subject the bill was killed-S5
to "a.
Among the other bills introduced was
one by Senator Theden to prohibit the
employment Of Incorporate persons in
certain dangerous capacities.
Senator Roverud introduced bill
providing that any incorporated village
which has q library organization may
make requisition upon the state auditor
for an amount equal to the amount
which it has expended for books, pro.
vided that such village shall receive NO
more than $500 in one year.

devoted to work on the calendar and
the following bills were passed:

Roasted an Editor.
Mr.. Dohnelly's entire speech was
highly entertaining and kept the house
and spectators in good humOr. AS
side issue he had the clerk read from
the desk an editorial from a st. Paul
morning paper rejecting somewhat on
himself. At the CONCLUSION OF the
reading Mr.. Donnelly quietly remarked
that he was not surprised at the course
OF this paper, because its editor was
descended from the Tories of the RevO.

IN SUPPORT OF BERG.

Representative Dahl Defends the secre-
tary of State.
Representative Dahl started a hot
breeze in the house yesterday morning
which may interest one or two state Of
ticials. During the progress of the va
rious discussions on the Mountain Iron
investigation several comments have
been made upon the fact that no action
had been taken by the attorney general
in the Feig investigation OF two years
ago. Mr.. Dahl, rising to q question OF
privilege, said that it had been init.
mated that the blame for this rested
with the secretary Of state, but he as
serted that such was not the case and
that he objected to Mr.. Berg being
made the scapegoat for either willful
offenders or negligent officials. Mr..
Feig warmly supported Mr.. Dahl in his
defense of the secretary of state, and
intimated in very plain terms that an
other state official was at the bottom OF
it. This closed the incident.
Discussed Bicycle Paths.
Judge Hicks occupied the chair dur
ing the session of the house in commit
tee of the whole. Five of the six bills
on the list were laid over for future
disposition.
Mr.. Grondahl's bill providing that
bicycle paths may be laid out and con-
structed along highways proved to be
unpopular and provoked long debate.
Mr.. Grondahl said his bill was the
first ATTEMPT to legislate in the interest
of cycle riders. He believed that the
time would come when cycle paths
would be constructed at public ex.
pense. It would now be good policy to
allow wheelmen to erect them. Mr..
Foss was the principal objector to the
measure and called on the farmers to
rally and defeat the proposed in
fringement on their rights After
further discussion the motion to recon-
NIT the bill for passage was defeated
a to 46, and it was then referred to its
author for amendment.

kOERNER'S BOND ALL RIGHT

Erroneous.
Relying on statements made on the
floor of the house yesterday and from
INQUIRIES made at the secretary Of
states Office, reports were sent out that
State Treasurer Koerner's bond for
1897 had not been filed. Further in.
vestigation shows that the new bond
was filed Jan. 4, but had not been
properly indexed on the books Of the
secretary.
