NEARLY A TEST
ON STATE PRIMARY
HOUSE PUTS QUESTION OVER TO
NEXT WEEK.
No Chance to Get Together on a
Measure, Says Chairman Adams
Committee from House Will Attend
Launching Of the Minnesota.

elf any ten men can get the authors
of these primary election bills together
l would like to have them discovered, -
declared Chairman Elmer E. Adams of
the house elections committee today, in
discussing the failure of his commit,
tee to recommend any one election bill
before the committee. 81 think
know the temper of this house and OF
the senate, and a special order such as is
proposed for all these bills will waste
three or four days. All the crank
committee, with the expectation that
the committee could evolve some sane
measure.'
The house escaped a test vote on ex
tending the primary election idea tc
state officers by a narrow margin. AS
a substitute for the motion to place
the Lund bill, extending the primary
election plan direct to state officers
Mr.. Adams moved that the Lund bill be
indefinitely postponed. This was to get
an expression Of sentiment. He ex
planned that only by a tie vote had
the committee refused to recommend
all the primary election bills for in
definite postponement, and he proposed
to put it up to the house.. By voting
down his motion the members would
declare themselves for the extension Of
the system to state officers and by
killing the Lund bill they would de
clare that there would be no primary
election legislation for the session. i
would cost $500 to print the bills now IL
committee.
"The people want state officers nomi
mated by the priWMaHry me et,od for Mr. M;
goose is sauce for the gander. If thu
primary law is good for the smalle:
officers, it is good for the big fellows
While my bill is the only direc
primary bill before the committee,
will accept any sane amendment
w. P. Roberts Of Hennepin said h
was not in favor of any of the proposed
plans, but he admitted that the peopl
wanted very badly to get away from
the present system. "I opposed tn
present primary election system,'' tn
legislative veteran said, "but the pee
pie seem to like it, and I think the bes
thing to do is to extend it to the stat
officers. The papers last fall, after tn
conventions were held, were almost IN
animous in demanding the extension O
the primary plan tosstate officers. w

TWO REPORTS EXPECTED
House Fire Insurance Investigators
Did Not Fully Agree.

Two reports are expected from the
house special insurance rate investi-
eating committee, which met this morn
Ing to consider the drafting of a re-
port Of their Investigations: A. X.
Ware, chairman Of the committee, has
prepared report which has been Of
fered to the other members to sign,
favoring the creation Of the Office of
state fire marshal; the introduction of
an anticompact insurance bill, and
declaring that the investigation has
demonstrated that the existence of the
Western Union Underwriters associa-
ton has had the effect of causing I'm.
due discrimination against non-uniou
companies.
Ware and A. J. Rockne are expected
to sign this report. The second report
will probably be signed by W. W
Bardwell and j. T. Rosenthal, agreeing
with the first report in everything ex
cept the conclusions regarding the in
fuence Of the Western Union. The sec
ond report will say the union has re-
duced rates. NJ. s. Carl has the de-
Gliding vote, but has not made public
where he stands. ..-

FERRET BILL KILLED
House Finally Puts the Thayer Measure
to Sleep.

The Thayer tax-ferret bill was killed
by the house yesterday afternoon a Sec
ond time, and it is now finally dead,
after a hot debate on general orders,
in which the bill was attacked by A..
J. Rockne, W. D. Washburn, Jr., w.
?. Roberts, Carl L. Wallace and w.
B. Anderson. The bill was supported
by Burdette Thayer, W. A. Nolan and
A. L. Cole, but the motion to indefnite-
~ postpone received 81 votes, making
It unnecessary to call for the noes.

EBERHART BILL KILLED
SENATE STANDS FOR CONTINU-
ANCE OF PRIVATE BANKING
INSTITUTIONS.

The Eberhart bill, s. F. "a, to abol-
ish state banks, was, put to final rest
in the senate today, q to 26.
Senator Shell, chairman of the COM
mittee on banks, recommended the bill
for indefinite postponement. Senator
Thorpe moved that minority report
by Senators Buck Benson and himself
be adopted, and the effect that the bill
be printed and placed on general Or
ders. But the motion was defeated and
the bill Indefinitely postponed.
The test vote was as follows:

must not nave repetition OF the
scandals and heartaches of the last
campaign
On the suggestion of M. j. O'Laugh-
lin of Wabasha Mr.. Adams withdrew
his motion to indefinitely postpone the
Lund bill, and then came a fight to
recommit all the election bills to a
special committee Of ten. N. #. Hugo
Of Duluth offered the suggestion and it
was supported by number of mem
bers. w. /. Nolan, member of the
elections committee, said that the Hugo
plan would be fatal to legislation to
improve, the present election methods,
and Mr.. Lund emphatically declared
that the politicians had employed dill
atory tactics to defeat his project. He
charged that the Hugo motion was off
the same cloth. The Hugo motion was
defeated and all the primary election
bills, except that of John +. Selb of
St. Paul, will be printed and placed on
general orders. They were later made
special order for Thursday at 2 pm.
and it is expected that by that time Mr.
Selb 8 bill will be reintroduced in a
condensed form and will be considered
along with the other bills.
Because of the variegated opinions
of the house members and an almost
similar situation in the senate, it seems
certain that no primary election bill
will run the gauntlet this session
Will Investigate Harvester Plant.
The house concurred in the Brewer
resolution for the appointment of leg

favor Of the resolution, but surprising
opposition developed. Members took

SHERIFFs UNDER FIRE
Some Are Accused Of Sharp Practices
to Gain Large Fees,

Sheriffs turnout the state are alleged
to be praotioing a system Of padding
their fees. This charge developed at
hearing before the general legisla:
tive committee Of the house yesterday
afternoon.
s. w. Leavitt Of the board Of control
said that when some sheriffs have sew
eral prisoners to take to the state
prison or reformatory they take the
prisoners ono at time. Mr.. Leavitt
thought there should be some legisla-
ton to prevent this practice. The
Gates bill authorizing the employment
by the board Of control Of persons who
shall take to prison all convicts, and
to the hospitals all patients, was under
consideration. Physicians and hospital
superintendent testified that the en-
actment Of the measure would be of
great benefit. Speaking particularly
as to insane persons, it was argued that
it is possible for an expert in this line
to handle the patients with much less
injury than results when sheriffs and
the deputies are in charge. The hear
ing was not finished yesterday, and is
being continued this afternoon.
