The Governors Dinner.

Lansing. Mich, Dec. 19.-Gov. Pin
gree's dinner was given, as advertised
in Representative hall Tuesday night
1t was all that had been promised, the
menu being exceedingly elaborate and
list of wines all that could be wished
The disappointing feature was the alb

the dinner was given. None of the
Justices of the supreme court, or rail
road officials Of the state were pres
ent. while only three state senators
and 4G representatives graced the
board with their presence. Not an
elective state official accepted the gov

QUICKLY PASSED
The House Promptly Acted on
Three Local. Measures.
GOVERNOR SENT MESSAGES
Bonding Bills at Petoskey and Charlie
voix-But Senators Think They
Should be Left for Regular Session,
and They May be Smothered.

Lansing, Mich. Dec l9.-Gov. Pin.
gree sent in three messages recon.
mending the enactment OF laws legal.
izing the issuing of bonds, and bills
to this effect were promptly passed.
The first message recommended the
passage of an act to enable the city Of
Petoskey TO issue bonds in the sum OF
$4,000 for the purpose of enlarging
its electric light plant, the message
explaining that the electors had voted
the bonds, but there are technical OBJ.
jections to their legality. Rep. Lusk
introduced the necessary bill, the rules
were suspended and the bill passed.
This was followed by message rec.
ommending the enactment of a law
to enable the township of Charlevoix,
CharlevoiX county, to issue bonds in
the sum Of $4,000, for the purpose OF
constructing a drawbridge over Pine
river, the engineers Of the war depart,
ment having directed that the bridge
be constructed during the close of nav.
igation, and this will be impossible un.
less the necessary legislation is enact.
ed A bill Twas introduced by Rep.
Burdick and passed at once.
The third bonding message was one
recommending the enactment of a law
legalizing $4,000 of water works ex.
tension bones, issued by Traverse
City. Rep. Burdick came to the res.
cue with a bill covering this matter
also, and it was promptly passed.
The fourth special message from the
governor called attention to the fact
that the police officers and justices OF
the peace at lonia have formed a com.
bine, which results in the arrest and
commitment of tramps on no proVoca
tion whatever, further than the desire
of the officers to collect fees. The
message recommended the passage OF
a bill prohibiting such arrests, except
upon the written order of the prose.
cutting attorney. Rep. Scully intro
duced a bill designed to dispose of the
official trust referred to, and, with its
usual promptness, the house passed it,
When the Petoskey, Traverse City
and CharlevoiX bills reached the sen
ate, an attempt was made to suspend
the rules and place them on their i'm
mediate passage. This was objected
to by Senator Helme, who said that
the matters could wait until the regu
lar session, there being no need fol
paying the newspapers of the state sS,
600 for publishing these brief laws
when everyone knew they would, II
passed by the senate, be the only ones
enacted They went to the committee
on cities and villages.
The governors message on the Ionis
tramp nuisance went to the committee
on state affairs. The chances are that
all will be smothered, although loca
influences may pull some of them
away from the committee.
BY a vote OF Al to 12, the house in
definitely postponed action on the sen
ate concurrent resolution, fixing fina
adjournment for Thursday. The ses
sion is a long way from being ended
but there is apparently no likelihood
that anything valuable will be accom-
plished.

Monday night, Senator Sayre moving
suspension of the rules TO refer 1T TO
the committee of the whole in accord
ance with program arranged by the
opponents of the measure during the
afternoon and early evening.
Senator David opposed the motion.
He wanted the bill to so TO the iudtc-
larry and taxation committees jointly,
saying that there was no reason 20
refer it to the committee of the whole,
unless ii is to kill the bill, and he
could not see how any senator who
voted to submit the constitutional
amendment could vote for such refer
ence.
Senator Lyon favored careful con-
sideration by the joint committees. He
had read the bill only in part, but had
already found unconstitutional pro-
visions that would never stand the
test Of the courts He was in favor
of having the bill considered, and If
this was not to be the program, then
he urged that the bill be killed out
right and at once.

the reading of the bill had proceeded

raised the point Of order that two

sary to suspend the rules, and only l3
voted on this occasion.
The force OF this point was recog-

HOUSING OF POOR
Salisbury Declared 10 the Scandal Of
Civilization.

London. Dec. l9.-At the annual
conference of the National Union of
Conservative associations Tuesday.
Lord Salisbury. commenting on the
remarkable change of London from a
radical TO tory stronghold, remarked
that the only radicalism remaining
was found where the burning question
was the housing of the poor. The con-
servatives, he added could not more
securely maintain their hold on the
public than by devoting their whole
power to removing this scandal Of
civilization-the suffering many work
ing people had to undergo from the
pitiable mmodations-and pro-
viding adequate, healthful habitations
for the poor.
Alluding TO the war, Lord Salisbury
said If they wished to sustain the
empire and maintain the glory of Eng.
land untarnished their efforts must
not be slackened until this great en-.
terprise was carried out, for on the
issue thereof depended the glory and
perpetuity of the empire. 1t might
require a strenuous effort and great
self-sacrifice. The present was a pc
riod of some anxiety.
I'VE" said the premier, "do not
know exactly what has taken place
We earnestly hope the issue may be
better than the beginning But we
have to push it through May be there
are matters winch have not been ex
planned, and when explained it may
be the subject of scrutiny as to the
steps whereby the present results
have been reached. But we must
spare no effort whereby the glory and
the maintenance Of our empire may
be achieved"
