The slirmishes that have been going
on in the administration fight on Henry
Allen brought an issue in the contest
in the senate committee of the whole
this morning when Senator Dolley, act
ing as the field general of the admins
tration, sent forth the order for battle
in the form of a motion to consider the
minority report of the senate committee
on charitable institutions, a report sign
ed by but one member of the commit
tee. on the Stubbs house board of con-
troll bill instead of the majority report
of six members of the committee. Dol
leys motion won.
The sentiment of the senator's, even
many of those very friendly to Allen.
that in passing the refinery bill, the
amending of the railroad bill and 9TH
er measures. have rolled the band
wagon over the administration and
that now it is time for the senate to
fail in line and pass some administra-
ton measures, especially such a one
as the Stubs board of control bill
which Governor Hoch is willing and
anxious to shoulder.
The board of control bill passed by
the house provided that:
Within thirty days after the ap-
POAnNHGAN ana QuaIIncauOnS OF the
members of this board of control, it
shall organize and enter upon the dis
charge of its duties, but shall not ex-
erc1se complete and full control of all
OF the said institutions until the 1st
day of July. 1906"
An amendment to this was offered
to set the time for the board of con
troll to enter upon it's duties and full
control July I, 1905. This amendmen
would have extended the tenure of
Aliens "a n

amendment was voted down.

workers took several senators TO the
governors office andrWere busy on the
floor lining them up on the firing line
IN favor of the house bill as passed by
the mousse and the friends of Henry
Alien were as busy working for votes
for the bill as amended by the majority
OF the senate committee on charitable
institutions.
The fight has been going on since the
session began The conditions have
changed. Undoubtedly a week ago the
friends of Henry Allen in the senate
would have rallied a sufficient number
of votes to defeat the administration
measure to legislate Henry Allen out
OF office, but since then certain bills
have been passed and others killed.
other contingencies have arisen and
now the administration. for almost the
nrst time during the session of the leg
islature seems to have the whip hand
of the senate and during the session this
morning Senator Dolley sent the last
cracking lash over the heads of the
senators when the occasion demanded
and all amendments and motions
against the Stubs board of control bill
were defeated by aye and nay votes

The Allen-Stubbs fight has brought
some strange political bedfellows to-
gether. In the senate, Senators Dolley,

ing for the administration bill and
Cyrus Leland has been active during
the last few days on the senate floor
working with these same senators. On
the oil bill and other measures, these
senators stood on different sides The
fight on the Stubs bill was led this
morning by Senators Waggener and
Noftzger. Allen and his friends ara
