The Senate has rounded out the closing
days of the session in great shape. Its
decks are practically cleared. Yesterday
twenty-five bills were passed, nineteen of
them being house measures and three Sem
ate bills. Four bills were defeated and
two failed 10 pass for want of a constitu-
tional majority. The following got safely
home: House Bills 327. 235. 375. 35. All, 457,

Bills 367, $40, 429 and 267 were defeated.
House Bills 233 and 337 failed TO pass. Four
House bills were sent by the Senate to
third reading, Alb. 40. 453 and 1894.
In addition House amendments to large
number of Senate measures were acted on
and the bills disposed of.

SERIOUS COMPLICATION.
House and Senate I'm SnarI the
SchOOI-Tax Levy Bill.

School-Tax Levy Bill.
A complication and deadlock, almost as
peculiar as that in the track elevation ques-
ton. arose yesterday over the Senate
amendments to House bill No. 10, increasing
the state school tax levy from II to 16 cents.
The Senate amended the bill by substitute
ing a new measure which provided that in
stead of increasing the state levy the cities,
towns and townships that need relief and
have not sufficient school funds under the
present levy and apportionment may relieve
themselves by increasing the local tax levy
from 80 to so cents. This was a radical
change, but it was made as a majority
caucus measure in the Senate.
The House voted to nonconcur in the Sem
ate amendments almost without a dissent
ing voice yesterday, and the speaker ap-
pointed Watson and Boyd as the House
conferees. The conference committee failed
to reach an agreement, the Senates repre-
sentatives standing by the amendments and
Watson and Boyd maintaining that the
Senate should recede or agree to compro-
mise amendments.
The House conferees were discharged
and the SPEAKER named as the new commit
tee Bell and Stookey, but when these men,
bers went TO meet the Senate conferees they
were received with the statement that the
Senate would name no second conference
committee and. far that body was
concerned, had taken final action on the
bill. 1t was perplexing situation, and the
only way out of it was for the House con-
ferees TO report the Senate's attitude and
then let the House take what action it
deemed best. This report was not made
last night, but il will be made this morn
ing. 1t is believed that the House will then
reconsider its action in refusing to concur
in the Senate amendments and then vote
to concur, as unless that is done the bill
will die and the counties of the State that
need relief will be left in their present
condition.

ALL BIDS ARE REJECTED
BOARD OF WORKS ACTION ON THE
sPRINKLING CONTRACT.
1t Is Announced that There Will Be
an Immediate acknowledgements
MIR. Martindale's Statement.

The Board of Public Works has rejected
all bids for sprinkling the streets of In
dianapolis. Three bids were submitted to
the board on Feb. q in response to an ad-
vertisement for bids for one-year and for
three-year contracts. The bidders were w.
c.. Buddenbaum, who was highest at $3.50.
Remington & Brother, who were second
with bid of $3.50. and w. H. Newby, who
bid s14.70. These bids were all on the three
year basis. On Thursday it was understood
that the board had decided to award the
contract to Remington & Brother. On
that afternoon Chairman Megrew said the
contract would not be awarded until the
following morning. when he hoped to have
it signed. He did not say who would be
awarded the contract.
Newby called at the boards office Thurs
day afternoon and asked If anything had
been done with the sprinkling bids. He
was told nothing had been done Later
Charles Martindale, his attorney, called
and was told the Same thing. From infor-
nation found by Martindale he concluded
that unless enjoined the board would award
the contract to Remington & Brother, and
he hurried to seek an injunction. The
action of the board in rejecting all bids
was a surprise, as the bids were the lowest
| ever secured for this work.
Chairman Megrew said yesterday that the
rejection was deemed necessary because
| of the confusion to the meaning of the
bids Observation-Disclosures they applied tC

would be advertised for

1t was claimed last night by some of the
House recalcitrants on the apportionment
question that the matter was not yet set
tied. and that there was possibility of the
caucus bill being defeated when it comes
back to the House for concurrence in Sem
ate amendments 1t all depends, these
members claimed, on the passage of the
Smith bill, which provides that in joint dis
trict conventions the counties having ex-
cess votes shall have only as many dele
gates the excess vote entities them to.
The bill was passed by the Senate yester-
day, and if the House will pass it no OBJ
jections will be made TO the apportionment
bill. If the House turns down the bill,
however, it is said that there are sixteen
members on the majority side who will join
the Democrats in defeating concurrence in
the Senate amendments TO the apportion-
ment measure.
1T is not believed that the House will
pass the Smith BILL There is a great deal
of opposition to ii from the political lead
ers in the more populous counties of the
State.

cause Vanderburg Was Excluded.

The Governor yesterday returned to the
House with his disapproval House Bill us,
originally intended to increase the salaries
of the judges of Marion county, but, as
finally passed, providing increases also for
the Circuit and Superior judges of Allen.
Madison and Vigo counties and the Super
ior judge of Vanderburg county.
This action of the Governor was not a
surprise to most of the members of the
House. as II was freely predicted, after the
bill was amended to exclude Judge Rasch.
of the Vanderburg Circuit Court. from a
salary increase. that the Governor would
kill IL.

the Late Mrs. Georgia Stanley.
DENVER, March 6.-There is considera-
BILE speculation here as to the antecedents
of Mrs. Georgia Stanley, who died yester-
day from asphyxiation due to the inhaling
of fumes of coal gas in a hovel on the
North Side. where she was found by neigh
bors in an unconscious state. lying on a bed
beside the dead body of Maj. Marshall F.
Hurd. an aged veteran of the civil war
Mrs. Stanley not long ago told a friend that
her father. Lord Allen, formerly Governor
of province in India. was the founder OF
the Allen line of Atlantic steamers. In a
notebook found among her effects appears
the following: Brother Georges fortune
was estimated at s35ooo.oo0. but at this writ
ing suppose IL Is $i0.000.oO0. To think how
rich Brother George Is and how poor am"
Nothing definite Is known of the brother
except that IL is believed that he lived at
one time I'm Spain or the Barbados.
Some time ago. when Mrs Stanley's pow
erty-stricken condition was brought TO the
attention of the dean. III. Martin Hart. of
ST. Johns Cathedral, and he communicated
with Sir James Grant, OF Toronto, who.
Mrs. Stanley claimed. was her half-brother.
a reply was received to the effect that Sir
James was not Mrs. Stanley's half-brother.
No arrangements have yet been made for
Mrs. Stanley's burial.
