the greater pa t,7"y consider
ing the Putnam and Spooner bills
for the creation of a girl ustrial
training school. The fight ended
with defeat of the Putnam bill and
passage of the Spooner bill. & The
former represented the interests of
Red Wing and required the new in
stitution to be located at that city.
The Spooner bill originally provided
the institution be located in some
county not already having state
institution, and was finally amended
! to permit the board of control of state
institutions to locate the school where
it sees fit. The Spooner bill has been
aided since its introduction some
weeks ago, by persistent lobby of
woman representing the Minnesota
Federation of Women's clubs. In
fact the bill was drawn by that Or
ganization and Mr.. Spooner selected
to introduce it.
The house came to. vote late today
on the Putnam bill first. The bill
drew but AZ votes in it's favor to SO
against. The Spooner bill then was
put to vote, when the roll call was
tWo-thirds over it became evident it
was going to pass, and a band wagon
move started, a number who had
voted against the hill changing and
voting for it, and "a votes were fin
ally announced for it, only so being
necessary.
The passage of the Spooner bill was
practically the only mark of the house
today. In the senate it was day of
little Importance outside of the fact
that tremendous amount of routine
work was disposed of, close to hun
dred bills being advanced from gen.
eral orders to the calendar.
An important bill killed by the sem
ate was the Wright bill to require all
COWS whose milk product is sold to be
required to pass the tuberculine test.
Altho this bill would guarantee pure
milk, cream and butter, it was con-
sidered too drastic.
St. Paul, April 15-This was day
of small things with the Minnesota
legislature. There was considerable
business accomplished of routine
nature, advancement and passage of
bills. In the senate, the Paully nom
partisan judiciary bill passed by a
vote of 33 yeas, 81 nays. An effort
was made to exempt probate judges
but failed. The bill to establish a
commission Of ten members to have
charge of the extension of the capitol
grounds passed with but ten votes in
the negative. The bill had the ORR
ginal SOD, 1000 appropriation cut out,
and it is left to the discretion of the
finance committee in drawing the
general appropriation bill as to how
much will be allowed for this purpose.
The bill to provide for reorganization
of the state guard on lines like the
regular army and following the terms
Of the Dick federal bill, passed on
motion of Senator Hardy, chairman
of the committee on military affairs.
One of the important changes made
by the bill is to extend the term of
Office of the adjutant general from 2
to years. The bill to create state
board of immigration to advertise and
bring settlers to the state, was passed
by vote of 33 to 20. Senator Thorpe
of Willmar was anxious to have the
original appropriation of $25, 900 re-
tanned in the bill but this was striker
out and the matter left for the finance
committee to include in the general
appropriation bill.
Senator Ole O. Sageng of Otter
Tail, attempted to have three mea-
sures passed. but only landed a home
run with one. The one the senate
consented to pass for him is to ex-
empt successful primary election can
didates from having to pay any addi-
tional election fees to get on the gen.
eral election ballot. The bills that
fell by the wayside called for nom
partisan county superintendent of
schools, and the last one for publica-
ton of the session laws in pamphlet
form instead of as newspaper supple
| ments.
| The senate also passed the Wright
bill providing pensions of SIS a month
for citizen-soldiers of the Indian
troubles of 1862. Two members of
senate, George P. Wilson of Minnea-
polls and George Pugh of Duluth,
come under the provisions of the bill
and were excused from voting. An
other bill passed by the upper house
was the Alderman measure establish
ing a new state fish hatchery at
Deerwood in Crow Wing county.
In the house, the entire day was
occupied with consideration of bills
in committee of the whole and
advancing of certain of these mea-
sgres to the calendar.
The governor today exercises his
veto power for the first time, in re-
fusing to approve of a bill to permit
