BOARD OF CONTROL
WINS FIRST FIGHT
Morley Educational institution Bill
Defeated in House.

The house yesterday, by vote OF
f1fty-five to fifty-three, slaughtered the
Morley bill, removing the educational
institutions from the management Of
the board of control 1t now lays on
the table awaiting dissection with the
hope of saving the university and nor
NAL schools.
The last skirmish in the prolonged
fight for freedom from board of control
management was one of the closest and
most interesting scrimmages in the re-
cent history of the Minnesota legisla
| ture. There was on the vote for final
passage a difference Of only two votes
between the factions, and later a mo-
tion for reconsideration for the benefit
of the university was carried by only
one vote.
The debate yesterday afternoon was
opened by Representative George r.
Armstrong, Hennepin, for the bill.
Rosenwald followed with a mass of
figures arrayed against the measure.
Representative Burns also made his
first speech for the day. Mr.. Perley
made strong plea for the bill intact.
While the speeches were good and all
the arguments vigorous, they contain
ed nothing new or sufficiently humor-
Gus to arouse the interest of the mem
bers, tired of the whole subject and
anxious to vote.
The original vote was nays fifty
four to fifty-three ayes, but Mr.. Nor
ley, author of the bill, discovered be-
fore the vote was announced that he
was several short of the sixty neces-
sary for passage, and changed his vote
to the negative column for the purpose
of reconsideration.
The announcement of the vote pre-
cipitated the only gilt-edged parlia-
mentary fight Of the session. Mlnette
moved for reconsideration. Armstrong
was on his feet with a tabling motion
for Minettes motion, and then Hugo
broke into the unpleasantness with
| motion for adjournment, which, Of
course, took precedence. The Hugo
motion had an effect similar to a sharp
stick poked into a bee hive, and for
| a few minutes the house fairly hum
med.
A dozen members were on their feet
at the same time. Fryberger wanted
to make speech on the bill and ten
gentlemen wished to enlighten the
speaker on parliamentary practice. A
majority of both factions got together
long enough to kill Hugo's motion by
a vote of seventy-siX to twenty
eight. Fryberger made his speech
over, around, through and under
steady fire of objections and motions,
and at last the Minette motion for re-
consideration was put and carried by
a vote of ffty-three to fifty-two.
The bill will lie on the table until the
university people feel that they can
pass 1T amended to affect only their
institution and the normal schools.

bill follows:
