given rise to the predictions that the session
will go over into next week.
With the senates action on the ant-pass
law there are few big measures left of the
variety that have to be" passed, except
the appropriation bills The house has yet
to act on the bill taxing corporations and
the educational board of regents bill There
are some minor measures such as the bill
to have binder Irvine manufactured at the
penitentiary, which many persons consider
important measures, that will probably be
defeated anyway, and the bill to erect four
agricultural high schools in four quarters
of the state, that is an innovation, but will
be passed upon Monday.
Appropriations Budget.
It is possible and quite likely that there
will be an increase in the state tax levy
as result of this years legislation. This
legislature started out making reputation
Of economy during the first two or three
weeks, but the economy was of the penny
variety and affected only minor matters,
such as a committee clerk more or less.
Now that the big appropriations are COM
| ing in the legislature is showing some in
clination TO spend money and exceed the
amount that will be available under the old
tax levy. The policy for some years has
been to raise 100000 by the tax levy and
| the estimate on that basis made by the
| governor is that the state will have little
! over $4,000 for extraordinary appropria-
tions. The senate appropriations committee
| has already gone considerably beyond that
! limit in it's estimates. Its recommendations
| foot up about 81, 100000. Just where the
! other $4,000 is to come from unless the
4, tax levy is increased is not shown. OF
course the legislature may not pass SOM
OF the appropriation bills and may CT I
J down others. The coming week will see
the entire sessions business concluded Il
| is believed, as the intention Is to adjour
about Friday or Saturday But as show
ing the inclination to spend money the
house passed the bill doubling the amount
of money spent for agricultural college eH-
tension work, making the total amount
$4,000. Doran OF Boone moved an amend
ment to the bill cutting out the extension
/ work and leaving only the agricultural
correspondence course and there were bu

DIES MONIES March Especial. )-Au-
ditor B. R. Carroll refused point blank to
accept the position of insurance commits
sioner under the proposed bill that has
passed the senate creating a department
OF insurance. Following this refusal the
house insurance committee voted to in
definitely postpone the senate bill creating
the department. There is something of sig
nificance in the sequence of these two
things. There will be a minority report
from the house committee favoring the
creating of an insurance department sepa-
rate from the state auditors office and the
subject will probably be fought out on
the floor of the house.
Insurance companies have been making
valiant fight this session to get a bill
through the legislature creating a sepa-
rate department and such action is recon-
mended in the report Of the Insurance legis-
lative commission that last summer in
vestgated the problems OF insurance legis-
lation. But since the legislature convened
members of the legislature, including even
some of the members OF the legislative
commission, have been taking a different
view of the matter.

ance laws on the statute books II is de-

The Knights Templar had for their quest
the saving OF the holy land from the hands

that quest was the saving Of Europe for

Had not the SaraCen been turned back

Man Tries to Force Way Into Home of
Mrs. Sarah j. Bayliss.
Mrs. Sarah ]. Bayliss, a widow living at
1411 Second avenue, was awakened about
2 o'clock Sunday morning by the noise Of
some one attempting to force an entrance
by the kitchen door, which was bolted and
locked Looking through the kitchen win
dow she saw a man apparently exerting all
his strength to break in the door. She
ordered him away, but the fellow kept
on trying to force the door Mrs. Bayliss
then went to the front door and screamed
for help. Her son-in-law, William Christ
man, who lives nearby, heard her screams
and selling a revolver ran to her assistance.
Christman caught the fellow, who es-
sayed the deaf and dumb act until Christ
man handed him a sharp rap over the head
with the butt end of his revolver. This
brought the fellow to his senses and he
told Chrstman that his name was Jor-
gensen and that he lived at 17A Seventh
avenue Chrstman, believing that the fell
low had been drinking and had mistaken
the house for his own home, allowed him
to go. The fellow was without his coat
and hat when Christman caught him, and
these were found later on the back porch
of Mrs. Baylss' house and are now in the
hands of the police. Investigation by the
police disclosed the fact that there is no
house at the number on Seventh avenue
given by the fellow.
