RECALL DEMING BILL.
House VIII Endeavor to Correct
Flaw.


Flaw.
Attorney General Douglas yesterday
afternoon rendered an opinion as to the
constitutionality of House File 234, bet
ter known as the Deming bill, which was
introduced and passed by both houses
for the purpose OF securing the release
of the Younger brothers. He states that.
tested by the rule established by uni
form line of authorities, the enactment
in question is, in his opinion, unconsti-
tutional,- either for the reason that it
assigns to the chief justice other than
judicial functions not within the single
limitation of the constitution or ~ is
delegation of executive power to the
board of managers of the state prison,
which, by article of the constitution as
amended, is vested in the board Of par
donS
It will be remembered that the act in
question authorizes, among other things,
the board of managers of the Minnesota
state prison TO parole copvicts who have
been sentenced to the state prison for
the period of their natural life; provided,
among other conditions, that no such
life convict shall be paroled under the
provisions of this act without the unan-
imouS consent, in writing, of the mem
bers of the board of pardons."
The attorney general states further in
the opinion that the board OF pardons
was created by an amendment to the
composed of the governor, the chief JUS
tice of the supreme court, and the at
torney general, to grant ''pardons and re-
prieVes,''
He adds that. aside from the delegation
of executive power to the judiciary under
the amendment to the constitution ere
! ating board of rardons, the people OF
/ the state never delegated to any member
| of the judiciary the right to exercise
| ether than judicial powers.
The bill is now in the hands of the
legislature for reconsideration. Mr.
| Deming will introduce an amendment
calculated to correct the deficiency anG
make the bill satisfactory. Some exec
utive state Official will take the place OF
! the board of pardOnS.

PASS TORRENS LAND Bill.
MEASURE FINALLY GETS THROUGH
SENATE AFTER BEING
AMENDED
PRIMARY ELECTION BILL SAFE
Senator's Take Rack Their Amend
meHts After Consulting With
House Conference
Committee.

The senate yesterday amended and
passed the "Torrens' bill, with Senator
Sheehan recording the one dissenting
vote. The bill, as finally passed, was
amended to affect only counties having
a population of $1,000 and over.
Senator Snyder spoke briefly in expla-
nation of the bill, stating that it en-
braced the Torrens system of land trans
fer. He detailed the provisions of the
blk which have been published al
length in the G o b e, and read letters
from several authorities faVoring the
passage of the measure, among them
Judge Leonard H. Jones, the famous text
book author A letter was read from W.
F. LuXton, editor of the G / o b e, which
explained the writer's familiarity with
the Manitoba law. The bill was optional
in its provisions. Senator Snyder said
and was along the line of reform and
economy.
Senator Greer proposed the amendment
which afterward carried, making the
measure applicable to counties having
population of 5000 and over. The
amendment was lost by a vote of 20 to 2S
A number of senators, when the bill
came up for passage, stated that they
would not vote for the bill without the
Greer amendment. Senator Stockwell
after consultation with Senator Snyder,
moved a reconsideration, when it be-
came apparent that the measure was
lost, and asked that the vote by which
the Greer amendment was lost be recon-
sidered. Upon reconsideration, the
amendment carried, and, with it attach
ed, the bill passed with the one dissent
ing vote.
The senate receded from the Ives and
Smith amendments to the primary cleo
ton bill yesterday, and that measure
went back to the house, and was there
repasSed. The Halvorson blind pig
bill, which was special order for the
afternoon, was amended-chiefly by it's
friends-and passed unanimously, after

otherwise making these concerns subject
to this commission in the same manner
that railroad companies are came up Tor

when the bill was reached on general
orders, Representatives Phillips and
Roberts, of Minneapolis; Dunn and
Rich, of Ramsey county, arose and be-
gan to asSail the measure. Mr.. Roberts
was content however, to allow the tirst
section of the bill to pass making the
companies file their reports
The chief argument of those opposed
to- the bill was that it provided for plac-
ing the control of the companies under
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission which would cause a confusion
Of authority since they are now under
the regulation of municipal powers Mr..
Dunn made vair fight against the
measure on some legal technicality, say

resolution, which net the approval OF
the author Of the BILL whose only inten-
ton was to make the companies show up
their annual earnings, was adopted and
the bill then recommended to pass as
amended.

Mr. Bergs voice could be heard to the

He thought it woCld introduce law

Minneapolis, where it has been tried. He
dubbed it as one of the worst laws that

A Chicago detective agency claims to

who stole it from the gallery, is said 10
have received a large reward for its re-
turn and eXacted an agreement to drop

According to the detectives he had car

packed and sealed. The picture, it is
announced, will arrive in London> tonor-

markahle in many ways. The doors of
the gallery were found locked and bolted

boat the Waterman of the block and the
janitor of the building had heard no sus-

suspicious strangers. There appeared to
be no clue until 1886, a certain Joseph
Elliott, then under arrest for a large
forgery, asserted that the Gainsborougn
picture was still in existence and could
be recovered provided his liberty was
granted.

Elliott said the picture had been stolen
by professional porch climbers who
had entered one of the gallery windows
and cut the canvas from the frame.

Before the plan could be completed how
ever, the forger was given his liberty on
a technicality.
Negotiations were later made with the
thieves to return the painting for large
reward The sum offered was too small

negotiations fell through. Recently trace
