FOR PURITY OF
BALLOT BOX
BILL PASSES HOUSE AFTER FU
TILE ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY
IT-sENATE IN eENER-
Gus MOOD.
In Committee Of Whole Considers
General Appropriation Measure, Be-
ing Even More Liberal Than the
Lower REORGANIZATION to Sena-
tor Bailey.

After futile attempts to destroy the
bill by amendment had been made
the House of Representatives Mon
day afternoon passed the Mcfarland
bill providing for the purity of the
ballot box and requiring publicity fol
all election expenses. The bill pro
hibits the corruption of voters either
in mass convention, primaries or cleo
tions. and sets forth with precision
just what shall be legitimate election
and campaign expenses, says the Nash
vile American.
BY joint resolution the House invit
ted Senator JOS w. Bailey, of Texas
to address the legislature at his con
venience
/ There was the usual flood of new
bills, as many being introduced as IL
the House was just beginning the work
of the session. A number OF the mem
bers of the House are also Justices
of the Peace, and they remained at
their homes to attend the quarterly
session of the County Court. For this
reason the attendance was just above
the constitutional quorum.
AS a committee of the whole the
Senate consumed all of the session
held in the afternoon with the con-
sideration of the general appropria-
ton bill Very few If any of the items
contained in the House bill, which
was substituted, were reduced, but on
the contrary the increase in the gross
appropriation under the amendments
of the committee will be about $780,
900 more than was provided by the
House bill.
Several feints at reduction were
made. but none of them materialized;
the veteran watch dogs" sat in ST.
lence and hardly sniff was vouch-
safed. A bold attempt to kill the In
crease in the salaries of the various
stenographers, as provided in the
House bill, was thwarted by chiv-
alric appeal, and even after two had
been reduced they were on reconsid-
Grafton restored. A scalp hunt with
Blake of Tennessee" for victim was
made by cutting out the appropriation,
the amendment striking out the ap-
preparation was rejected and the Office
is still in existence.
The appropriation for the widows
pension fund was increased from
$12O, 900 to $4,000; the appropria-
ton for a new building at the Central
Hospital for the Insane was increased
from $40, 900 to 100000; the apropria-
ton for expenses of the Court OF Ap-
peals was increased and several other
increases of from 800 to several
thousand dollars were made.
A resolution calling for confer
ence of manufacturers and labor peo-
pie to consider remedial legislation
with respect to hours of work and
child labor was introduced by Mr..
Cox. No other business was done, the
consideration of the appropriation bill
was about completed, and it Is proba-
BILE that it will be recommended for
passage. It may, however, be trim
med" when it is considered on the
floor of the Senate.

Justice Goulds court the little three
year-old belle rCmped. She was first
here and then there with this one Civ
ing her candy and another cakes. Her
pretty little white frock and her curry
head proved too much for those ABOUT
the Courthouse, and she was truly the
center Of attraction.
While Helen was trotting up and down
the corridor, the first steps In the case
were being taken inside. The case has
not yet been called, but is even now
attracting considerable attention from,
friends OF both parties.
