IN A KILLING HUMOR.
The senate Defeats Several Minor
Measures.

A number of bills were passed in the
Senate yesterday and several were killed
The vote on which the intermediate prison
bill had been killed was reconsidered for
the purpose of the introduction of a SUBJ
stitute by its author, Senator Holler. The
substitute does entirely away with the idea
of a new intermediate reformatory
prison and the SS0.es0 for that purpose and
provides instead that, the Prison South
shall be trans formed into "a reformatory
for male convicts between the ages of SIX
teen and thirty. Detailed accounts of the
bill have heretofore been published. The
main objection to the bill was that il
would not only require large expendi-
ture of money at the outset but also that
the State would have on it the additional
expense of maintaining third prison. Ev-
cry senator that spoke on the bill declared
himself in favor of the reformatory ideas
contained in the bill. AS the caucus has

The House yesterday morning by a vote
of so to l passed the labor arbitration bill
introduced by Mr.. Roose. of Elkhart. The
bin provides for the appointment of two
commissioners, who shall endeavor to con-
ciliate all labor disputes. Where labor
trouble exists the labor commissioners are
required to, if possible. induce the parties
to il TO submit TO arbitration and if they
consent the commissioners and the circuit
judge of the county where the trouble ex
lists are organized into a board of arbitra-
ton and adiudicate the difficulty. The bill
is regarded as a great step in advance in
labor legislation and was actively sup
ported by both manufacturers and labor
organizations. The House also passed two

The intermediate prison BILL which was
defeated in the Senate the other day. was
ferred to Senator Holler for amendment
the Prison South, at Jacksonville, into a

Mixed Schools.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In the Journal of the 10th appeared re-
port of meeting held by colored people
on the 9th at Zion Baptist Church for the
purpose of discussing the Jones BILL which
proposes to abolish separate schools. These
gentlemen have made mistake in indors-
ing bill that will drive colored teachers
and educators of the race from the schools
of the State, as was done by the Annette
bill in Ohio. This lazy drove brainy colored
men and women from the schoolroom
and since its passage it has caused loss
TO the race of over $500 600. In the face of
this it would be folly to sacrifice another
state by indorsing, the Jones bill. Many
or the Northern States are sacrificed by
the mlXed-school law, and this is a con-
tnuai loss to the race. l am no teacher.

far better to let a few children walk a little
distance to school with something ahead
which they may achieve through encour-
asement than to place a blank before them
through the instrumentality of mixed
schools. The opposition to mixed schools
is not confined to teachers nor those who

This agitation comes from the ignorant.

LABOR ARBITRATION.
House Passes the ROOse Bill Almost
Unanimously.

The labor arbitration bill of Mr. Roose
came up on third reading in the House
about 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning. The
Journal has heretofore published a full di-
gest of the measure 1t provides for the
appointment of two commissioners, who
shall endeavor to conciliate all labor dis
putes Where a labor dispute exists the
commissioners are required to endeavor to
get the parties to the dispute to submit
il TO arbitration. Then the commissioners
and circuit judge form Il board of arb-
tration and adjudicate the difficulty The
bill involves an expense of $500 per year
for clerk and $40 per day for the COM
missioners when actually engaged in ar
btration. Mr.. Roose spoke in favor of the
bill and Mr. Randolph attacked ii all along
the line, but the burden of his criticism
was upon the ground of expense. Mr..
Smith. of Tippecanoe. spoke eloquently for
the bill and Mr. Lnck said a few strong
words in its favor. Mr.. Reynolds declared
that the operation of the bill in settling
amicably one strike would save more than
the commission would cost. Mr.. Butler
S fh ne o ia fe th o onoorntY Of
his life. Mr.. Sutton and Mr.. East spoke
for it, and Mr. Roots. as large manu-
>facturer. spoke earnestly for the measure
as tending toward industrial peace. Mr..
Spooner pronounced I'm favor of the meas
ure, partly because, 1t would muster out
the political demagogue. Mr.. Hubbard, who
is an employee at the .Brightwood shops of
the Big Four. spoke enthusiastically for
the bill. as did Mr.. Shideler. "a manufac-
turer who has never had a strike. Every
body was showing disposition to talk In
favor Of the bill and the previous ques-
ton was put. The bill passed by the heavy
vote of 20 to !, Mr.. Randolph's being the
only vote against it. The main points of
the bill are these -
/. That the arbitration is voluntary. No
one is compelled to 60 into it against his
free will.
:. That while the Judge of the Circuit
Court is the presiding member OF the
board and directs the proceedings and de-
cides on legal questions of practice and
the admissibility of evidence he has no
more voice i'm the decision than any other
arbitrator. His vote counts one, the same
as the others.
3. But when the decision of the arbitra-
tors has been made and recorded and any
party 10 il refuses TO obey Ii, the power
obedience.
4. This however is after notice to the
party. and opportunity to give his reasons,
if he has any. why he ought not to be re-
quired to obey the award. He Is not In
contempt OF court until he has been heard
overruled and he has disobeyed the order
of the court based on the award
D. If the parties refuse To arbitrate. the
commissioners, with the aid of the attorney
general or his deputy, are to investigate
the facts and report to the Gov vernon They
ment on the merits of the. controversy
only to find out and report the Facts. The
parties are then left TO take their own
course.

APPORTIONMENT BILL
Introduced I'm the Senate-It Will Pass
without Difficulty.

From appearances the caucus legislative
apportionment bill will be law within the
next week or ten days-perhaps sooner.
The bill has passed the House and reached
the Senate yesterday. The lieutenant gov
ernor handed it down to the committee on
legislative apportioument and meeting
was held Immediately after adjournment
The committee decided to report the bill at
once. There was some talk of one two
slight amendments, but after mature DELHI
Grafton it was said that they. would not be
suggested and it is probable that it will be
reported to the Senate this morning lust
as it left the House. The Republican ma
jority in the Senate is sufficient for the
bill TO be passed under suspension Of the
rules. Some OF the majority seem to think
that this should not be done, at least that
the bill should take the usual course until
ii reaches second reading when, if no
amendments are decided on, that course
could be pursued.

schOoi Bill Considered I'm Caucus by
Them Last Night

The Popocratic members who turned pale
when Mr.. Hart turned the tables upon them
and forced the colored school bill to third
reading held caucus on the subject at
the Grand Hotel last evening. Their supper
had been spoiled by visions of the time
they would have in explaining things to
their Democratic constituents particularly
in counties like Wells and Washington.
where they will not permit colored people
TO live. When they gathered in caucus il
was admitted on all sides that they had
put themselves in a. rather embarrassing
position, through their failure to anticipate
any such bold move as that made by Hart.
They came to the conclusion that IL would
never do to let the, bill go through and il
nothing developed this morning they would
have to vote il down with the assistance
OF five or six Republicans.
The caucus also decided TO solidly oppose
the Metropolitan police bill. 1t was hardly
necessary TO bring this up. inasmuch as
the bill is Republican caucus measure.
