Metropolitan Police Law
Remain Dead.
PROMPT CLOSING UP OF THE AP
PROPRIATiON BILL LEFT PRAC-
TIcALLY NOTHING FOR LEGIS-
LATORS TO DO.

Indianapolis, Ind. March 1.-THE
practical end of the Sixty fifth general
assembly came unusually early at
O'Clock this afternoon, when the house
adjourned sine die, leaving only
the senate in session, attending to a
few odds and ends of it's unfinished
legislation.
The adjournment put an end to all
surance bill and the metropolitan po-
lice bill, which continue dead from
the veto of Governor Hanly.
No attempt was made during the
afternoon to revive either one of these
bills.
The attempt at a coalition between
democrats and republicans to restore
them both to life was an utter failure.
There was a rumor that the demo-
Gratis would hold up the appropriation
bill in another attempt to do some
thing toward reviving the metropoli-
tan police bill, but when the amended
bill came from the senate the amend
ments were concurred in without
protest.
Messrs. Kelley and Greiger were on
their feet at the same time to make
the motion to adjourn. The Speaker
recognized Kelley and the motion pre-
vailed.
Generally Ends at Midnight.
1t is usual for the session to con-
tinue until midnight of the final day,
but after the adjournment of the
house, the senate also came to final adj
journment about o'clock.
At q conference of republicans of
the house this afternoon many voices
were raised against any proposition
to make a deal with the democrats to |
revive and pass the bill to repeal the |
metropolitan police law in considera
tion of democratic votes to override |
the governors veto of the so-called
Farber insurance BILL
1t was then proposed to make the |
meeting a caucus instead of confer |
ence. Richard Elliott. caucus chair |
man. refused to enter a caucus on the |
subject, as did also Mr.. Babcock, and |
at least eight others.
Elliott Left Caucus.
After Elliott had left the caucus eff
forts were made to have Edwards and
Branch preside, but both refused.
Greiger finally consented, but found
nothing could be done and the meet
ing broke up. The effect was to leave
both the bill to repeal the metropoli-
tan law and the Farber insurance bill
as they were-kiIIed by the governors
veto.
No attempt was made during the ait
ernoon TO call back to life either the
Farber insurance bill or the metropol-
itan police bill, and the house, at 5
O'Clock adjourned sine die, thus finally
settling the fate of both measures and
ending the sixty-fifth session OF the I
legislature as far as that branch was
