HYGIENE BILL PASSES.
Ii Is Said Members Think that Gov
ernor Will Veto It,.

The bill creating state laboratory of
hygiene, which was characterized by Rep
resentative Bell. of Randolph, as a meas
ure TO convert the Statehouse into a stink
house. was passed by the House yester-
day forenoon just before adjournment by
the onesided vote of II to 10. A fight was
made on the bill by a few determined MEM
bers, but their efforts were unavailing 1t
was stated yesterday afternoon in explana-
tion of the Unexpectedly large vote for the
measure that many of the members took it
as a foregone conclusion that the Governor
will veto the bill. and that, therefore, to
escape the importunings of those who have
been insisting that the bill be passed they
voted for it. These members felt that they
would thus avoid responsibility for defeat
ing the bill
Boyd, of Putnam, led the fight on the bill
and Bell, of Randolph, and Sayre, of Wa
bash, backed him up. Van Fleet OF Elk
hart, Baird of Delaware. Kirkman of
Wayne, and Stechhan of Marion, spoke for
the bill.
The bill provides that the laboratory shall
be located in the Statehouse, that it shall
be under the direction of the secretary and
members of the State Board of Health, and
carries an appropriation of $1,000 for equip
ment and $4,000 annually for maintenance.
The Mummert bill creating the office of
state fire marshal was passed during the
forenoon by vote of 60 TO 1S
Three bills in which the interurban lobby
was deeply interested were passed with lit
tie or no opposition. They were Senate
bills Nos. Observation-Disclosures the in
corporation of promoting companies; $50
-Wood-authoriZing steam railroads TO
change to electricity as a motive power;
Observation-Disclosures the consolidation
of electric street-railway companies.
Senator Balls bill providing a charter for
Muncie similar TO the Indianapolis charter
and Senator Kittinger's bill providing for
the plugging of natural gas and oil wells
that have been abandoned were passed with
little or no opposition
Senate bills Nos. 321, 246, 230. 336 and $40
and House bill No. 450 were reported from
committee with favorable recommendations.

Mr.. Carmack. With some emphasis he re-
marked, That's what / said"
You have the wrong page" said Mr..
Carmack
THE senator has got the wrong story"
retored Mr.. Hoar, amid peals of laughter in
the galleries.
Mr.. Quay said the debate the Philip
pine bill was amusing. On a motion made
by him at one time for reduction of tariff
he had received a miserable vote of seven
against the entire majority. He branched
out on the statehood BILL which, he said,
had been carried into the gloom of the
cavern of death and laid away for resurrec-
|. ton. He then sent to the desk the state
hood bill as an amendment TO the Philip
pine tariff bill and had il read. He said he
wanted the forty-seven pages of italics
read.
'Why not read the plain type, too?' sug-
gested Mr.. Beveridge.
THAT would be dilatory tactics, replied
Mr.. Quay, with some sarcasm. Il desire
for once and ALL" declared Mr.. Quay, Ito
get vote on the statehood bill
Mr.. Patterson interrupted with the state
ment that with this amendment to the tariff
bill the latter would be so vastly improved
that 1t would furnish an inducement for
senators to suspend their opposition.
Mr.. Quay called Mr.. Tillman's attention
to the fact that Indian Territory had been
stricken out of the bill
"Then 1 will vote for it," Mr.. TillmaG
quickly replied.
The conference reports on the naval and
deficiency bills were agreed to after further
debate and then the Senate took a recess

1t Is Advanced tn Third Reading After

ment offered by Adair. which also comes
from Democratic sources, carries the
O'Brien movement along by taking the cir

bate on the amendment and little or no
opposition. A number of other amendments

The fact that negotiations have been
pending between the Cincinnati Savings
Society, a private mutual savings institu-
ton, for its absorption by the Union Trust

GARD FEE AND SALARY BILL.
1t Is Amended So as to Affect Only
Recorders.

The Gard fee and salary bill was virtually
defeated in the House yesterday afternoon
by the adoption of amendment which
strikes out all of the original bill except
the section referring to the county re-
corders and changes that section so that
the recorders will receive their present sal
aries, except that the salary of no recorder
shall be less than 800. In cases where the
recorders turn into the county treasures
fees In excess of their salaries they shall
receive 80 per cent. of any such excess.
The increases in salaries for the auditors,
clerks, treasurers and recorders provided
in the original Gard bill are thus wiped
out, and il is not improbable that the
amended bill will never be passed. as the
large lobby of county officials that has been
working so hard for the original bill will
naturally lose all interest and work no
longer.
The bill was taken up on second reading
with two committee recommendations, the
majority for indefinite postponement and
the minority for passage with amendments
which reduced slightly the increases for the
various offices. Stansbury, of Warren, the
chairman of the fees and salaries commit
tee, moved first that the minority report
be not concurred in, and his motion pre-
vailed. Then he moved to amend the ma
jority report to read that the bill pass with
the amendment cited above This motion
also carried and the bill was advanced to
third reading
