FIRST BREAK IN

 ment to Frankfort. EXTREME CALM AT CAPITOL The Clouds Are Rapidly Lifting, and Normal Political Conditions May be Restored in Two or
 Three Weeks
EXTREME CALM AT CAPITOL

Louisville, Ky, February 13.-The first sign of a break in the democratic lines was noticed today. It came in the shape Of a resolution offered by Senator Tr.p.ett providing that upon adjournment Friday the legislature name Frankfort as it's next meeting place. While no action upon the resolution was taken today, It Is believed to foreshadow a return of the democrats legislators to the state cap.to. soon Te1is action will probably be taken when a re- port is received from tine committee sent to Frankfort to report upon conditions as to the presence about the capitol of militia or armed men and as to the advisability of resuming sessions at the old meeting place. 1EAs is rendered the more likely as the disaffection occurred in the senate, where the democrats have bare working quo rum.
 With the resumption of legislative busi- ness at Frankfort in prospect and the transfer to the court of claims of the rival governorsh.Qs, as seems likely to De brought about within a few days, the clouds are rapidly lifting, and it is be- leVed normal political conditions may be restored in the state in two or three weeks. That much time at least will be required to secure the adjudication of the issues be- tween the parties If the federal courts decide they have jurisdiction 1t will last much longer.
