AMID SHOUTS AND CHEERS
HOUSE PASSED SCHOOL BILL
GIVING A MILLION DOLLARS

1905 interest. and then took up the
appropriation to the agricultural de
partment which Is fixed by law at So
COO
Mr.. Hall Of Bibb made his fight as
predicted, but it was one sided. He
wanted to amend the paragraph so as
TO prohibit the use of any part of this
appropriation in payment for clerical
help. Had this been adopted. it would
cut off practically all of the present
Iorce of the department. and would
have been almost equivalent to aboi-
ishing it.
Hall Lost His Fight.
The amendment was overwhelming
~ defeated on viva voce vote. The
total pension fund of 1905 was fixed
at $S65,O00, decrease of $4,000 as COM
pared with last year, and compared
with the pension commissioners esti-
mates for the coming year
Disabled soldiers were cut down SIS
OOO, widows in the old class cut down
$4,000, INDECENT soldiers We're increased
$4,000, and INDECENT widows were in
creased 100000.
The appropriations to the various
classes for next year were fixed as
follows:
Disabled soldiers. $4,000; widows of
soldiers who died in service. $l60.000;
INDECENT soldiers, $4l5OOO; INDECENT
widows. $l20,000
Military Fund Increased.
The military fund was increased So
600. as compared with last year, the
total amount being $4,000. In addi-
ton to this the House passed an
amendment appropriating $5,94O.S1 to
supply the deficiency in the military
fund for 1904.
Much opposition was manifested to
