was advanced TO engrossment on motion by
Mr.. Branch.
Mr.. Statesman was weary. and he gladly
reiinquished the gavel 10 the speaker.
Mr.. Sparkss dentists bill was handed
down on third reading. but further con-

House to the speaker in recognition of the
fact that yesterday was his thirty-eighth
birthday. The speaker blushed and said
that he would hold the motion out of order.
Mr.. Statesman then moved to amend the
resolution by inserting the figures forty
eight for thirty-eight. but the speaker de-
clared that the amendment was worse than
the original resolution and that he would
not entertain II under any circumstances.
Mr.. Adair, before the laugh subsidized, sent
up motion to the effect that, as mark of

The pages of the House had the time OF
their lives Wednesday evening In enacting
burlesque of the proceedings incident to
the action taken by the House Wednesday
afternoon in adopting the compromise on
the Goodwine Reformatory bill. One of the
boys took the speakers desk and played
the role OF Mr.. Marshall, another assumed
the role OF Mr.. Slack. the minority floor
leader. and the others took the parts of
various prominent members.
They went through the whole show. in
Guiding the procession of the Republicans
as they came from caucus In the speaker s
room and the hopeless fight In which Slack
amendment. All sorts of motions and
counter motions were made and pande-
monium reigned. The boys were not alto
gether parliamentary in their proceedings,
however, and when IL came TO the point OF
gaggins Slack they did not resort TO the
eXpedient OF moving the previous question
Instead one of them yelled. Il move that
Slack be kicked in the face" and the ses-
sion adjourned informally to carry out the
motion when the speaker declared II had
prevailed
Booth Harrington was one of the inter-
ested spectators OF the burlesque, and he
pronounced IL just a shade the best comedy
he had ever seen.
Warren Sayre went TO a show the other
night-the theater shall be nameless. but it
is one much frequented by the dignified
statesman-and the next day he was com
planning OF such headache and a bad
cold

don't want to miss it even If it gives you
pneumonia"
1t is amusing to note during the session
of either house when the members get
deeply interested in the proceedings how
invariably one of the lawyers makes a slip
and addresses the speaker or the Lieutenant
Governor as "Your Honor or eff the court
pleases, Its nara to teach an old dog
new tricks" is the explanation given for
such a lapse by one of the legal lights of
the House
The Senate adjourned at 1910 yesterday
and at 12:11 Steve" Fleming was down on
the first floor of the Statehouse starting
toward the Union Station on run in an
effort to catch train for Fort Wayne that
left at 1920.
al guess Steve's about the busiest man
ment as he watched his fellow-Democrat
sprinting in his old-time college form.
Yesterday was Speaker Marshalls birth
day, and he was the recipient of congratu-
lations from all sides. incidentally Mrs
Marshall reminded him of the occasion by
sending a great bunch of beautiful roses
TO adorn his desk and by presenting him
with a diamond ring that will replace the
one he lost few weeks ago.

MUCH TESTIMONY SHAKEN

The commission investigating the
the Territorial Insane Asylum at Las
Vegas, put in a busy day yesterday.
Mrs. Manuela Jaramillo, was on the
stand for about two hours and was
vigorously cross examined. She said
she was employed at the asylum sew
en- and a half years and left the insti-
tuition voluntarily less than two years
ago. She said she had seen many pa
tients abused and especially at meal
time they We're struck over the hands
with large punches of keys. She said
that many of the patients had black
and blue marks on their hands and
arms from this treatment She said q
female patient named Teofola Moya
was sick and frequently stubborn. At
used, but it was SO harshly used as to
cause bleeding of the tongue and
throat. When she refused to move on
or sit down, one of the attendants
would violently push her. The day be-
fore her death, the witness said she
had assisted to give her cold bath.
She had refused to take medicine and
the matron and an attendant dragged
her to the bath tub by the hair and
put her in the cold water without re-
moving her clothing. She was kept
,,1t
morning, the witness said, the patient
was dead, and she had prepared the
body for burial. This happened three
years ago last May. The cross exam
ination shook her direct testimony
very materially and brought out the
fact that the hair of patients Is cut
when they are received at the asylum
and the witness said If the patients
hair was too short to be used to drag
her to the bath tub, she was dragged
by the ears. The cross examination
sought to show that the witness had
not voluntarily left the institution, but
she stoutly affirmed that she did.
Mrs. ella Schlott was recalled and
said that violent patients were some-
times confined in their cells after the
heat had been turned off. She was
very bitter against the matron, Miss
Twomey.
Adolfo Gonzales, a former night
watchman, said he thought all cases
of cruelty that he had seen were nee
essary in the proper restraint of pa
tients. He believed there had been no
unnecessary cruelty. He had seen Dr.
Molau, who was a patient, give medi-
cines and hypodermic injections. Cor
nelia Galineta, who was an attendant
for short time in the woman's
ward, said she had seen the water
cure applied and once, she had seen
woman tied down and she thought,
mistreated. Margarita Ortiz said she
had seen nothing to make her think
the management was cruel.

ted rioting. Repeated urgent appeals
have been made to the governor to
send additional troops, the sheriff and
mayor declaring that the local police
and sheriff's forces, even when supple
mented by the local company of mill
tia, was helpless in the face of mob
strike sympathizers. The governor re-
fused to do more than hold the first
battalion in readiness to rush to Du-
buque, upon demand in case of fresh
outbreak. Today, however, alarming
advices concerning a secretly planned
outbreak tonight impelled him to act.
He telegraphed the Dubuque authori-
ties that the troops are not there for
the purpose Of assisting the fight
against the strikers or in any way
other than to preserve peace at all
hazards.
