Salem, Ore, March 16.-The legls-
lature has set 2:30 this afternoon as
time for adjournment. But it is very
likely the session will last until mid
night, though it may be possible to
adjourn by night.
The senate has taken a firm stand
against any new legislation whatever
and in consequence of this there is
no show for any new measures to be
passed. There is no hope for the
normal schools to secure any favor
able legislation whatever.
The resolution endorsing the ap-
pointment of ex-senator Fulton for
federal judge is now held in the pock-
ct or Senator Kay, chairman of the
resolutions committee, and it will not
be reported, so it is believed.
Salem, Ore, March 16.-Besides al
lowing themselves salaries and mile
age and appointing a conference,
committee on normal schools, the
house did little business this fore
noon. The house conferees on nor
NAL are: Representatives Malone,
Hawley and Buchanan. 1t is pro-
posed that the schools each be given
$4,000 for expense money to run
them until July, when they will turn
them over to the local school districts.
Salem, Ore, March 15.-The normal
question showed its head in the house
at the beginning of the afternoon ses-
sion in the house. The bill provides
for 100000 for the maintenance of
Monmouth, Ashland ana Weston for
two years.
Jones of Clackamas at once moved
to indefinitely postpone the further
of the bill.
Barrett of Umatilla at once sprang
to the support of his bill. Brooke
joined with him. Contending that the
state could not afford to do away
with theAnormals as had been done
by the regular session. The normal
school question alone was of suffi-
,ient Importance, he said, to have
'alled to special session.
Munkers objected to the considera-
ion of the bill until after the cor
ective work was done, as it was not
n the list of work set out by the gov
rnor.
Malone spoke for the line. He was
tronger for the normals than ever
efore, he said. 1t was a disgrace to
he state. he said to turn the normal
tudents out in the middle of the
arm.
Bean did not think the bill should
e considered at this time He moved
} postpone until 4 o'clock.
Brady opposed Beams motion. He
hid it simply meant that they would
'ade anything from the inkwells to
lie asylum. He wanted to act on it
ow.
McCue said the house had discuss
| the measure before. Go across the
all to the senate and get busy for the
ormals. The house ought to have
surance from the senate. A confer
ice committee was the only way to
tile the question.
Orton agreed it was no use TO take
, the bill in the house for the house
ould most likely gill it. Get
lsy in the senate and let It pass a
Il. 1t would not pass a house bill
Miller said put it up to the senate,
It dispose of the other legislation
st. Then thresh out the normal
hool question and adjourn
Beams motion to postpone until
lock was carried with 81 affirma-
e votes.
