MORLEY BILL FIGHT
Board of Control Bill Is Knocked
n Down but Refuses to Stay
e Down.
a Switch in Votes Resuscitates It
= = and It Now Lies on the a
Table.

The Morley bill amending the board of
control law was killed Yesterday after
moon and then brought to life again. 1t
failed to pass by a vote of SO to SIS. the
author of the bill voting against it in
order to move for reconsideration. The
opponents of the bill then pushed the mo-
ton, to reconsider. but several members
who wanted to take the university from
the control of the board. also the normal
schools. changed their votes in order to
get a chance to amend the bill and the
motion to reconsider carried by a vote of
6S to 81, three members not voting.
The bill was then laid on the table by
the action Of it's friends and can be TAX
en- Up at any time. The senate took up
the proposition this afternoon as special
order, and in case the upper branch
passes a bill, it may not be necessary to
take UP the Morley bill again.
The lines would be drawn differently on
bill to take out the university alone,
or the university and normal schools.
Some votes cast for the Morley bill were
cast by enemies of the board OF control
system. who regarded the bill as an at
tack on the system. They will not sup
port the university normal schools alone,
because that would just suit the board
Of control. On the other hand, the uni
yersity has several friends who voted
against the bill because in their belief it
went too far 1t their help that car
ried the motion to reconsider. The
friends of the Faribault and Owatonna in
stitutions will stand by any bill. They
made the combination with the other in
situations with that understanding. and
can be counted on to stand by the uni
versty because the university delega
ton stood by them.
Six of the Hennepin deleGa ton votcC
against the bill, Messrs. Fosseen. W
Nolan, Girling. Helliwel, Shearer anC
Fust. Three Of them. Nolan. FOsseen anC
IIelliWell. changed their motion to re.
consider. Only one other member from
an institution town. Pehler Of Winona
opposed the bill and he voted against il
on both occasions.
The debate which preceded the vote wa:
participated in by Messrs. Armstrong
Gillette, Perley and Fryberger for tn.
bill. while Mr.. Rosenwald once more lee
the opposition. his principal point being
that the university had paid out too mucl
for architects fees.
MI Burns said he had originally beer
against the board of control. but believed
it had demonstrated its efficiency. and h
was opposed to the bill because he be
leved it too broad. He would vote t.
take only the university from the con
troll of the board.
The vote on the Morley bill was as fol
