Palladium Bureau,
1ndtaoanolja. March 8.


When the senate and house adjourn
ed at noon today there was nothing
now in the situation regarding the ap-
preparation bill.
It is generally believed that no bill
will be passed because the two parties
cannot get together. Governor Mar
shall said at noon he did not expect
tho Legislature to pass an appropria-
ton bill. Republican members Of
the conference committee made a re-
port. telling Of the disagreement and
throwing blame on the democrats
whom they charged with playing poll
tics in order to grab some obs. Gov.
Marshal was about ready to veto the
bill to allow city officers to succeed
themselves when several members
heard of it and went to see him.
Governor Has His Way.
He pointed out that the bill would
repeal the bill already signed, giving
indianapolis nine councilmcn instead
of twenty one. The committee told
him that fourth class cities needed the
relief granted in some sections Of the
bill. The governor responded that he
cepted cities OF the first, second and
third classes, and the committee start
ed out to have the bill amended to suit
this condition. II amended thus and
signed the bill will allow city officers
only in cities of fourth class to sue
coed themselves. The members Of
the house presented Speaker Honan
with a diamond ring. Governor Mar
shall has signed the Wood school book
bill permitting the state board Of edu-
cation to pay Sc instead Of $3.50 for Sc
ries of books.
MarshalI Wrathfui.
Governor Marshall had fire in his
eye this morning when he said, Il
shall appoint a custodian of the state
house and he will be man big
enough to come in and take posses
sion Of the job. And we will have a
platoon of the national guard come in
with him il necessary. We shall see
pointments the law gives him to
make" Governor Marshall was refer
ring to the break Of the conference
committee on the appropriations bill
over the question as to whether the
custodian shall be appointed by the
governor or by the board of COVER
nors, auditor and secretary of state.
The governor spoke very earnestly.
He denounces the proposition to use
the sinking fund to pay the appro-
priations as an effort to fool the peo-
pie by collecting tax for one purpose
and using it for another purpose. He
says that unless the sinking fund il
used to pay the appropriations they
must be reduced $5O5. 412 below what
they were when the bill passed the
senate. The republican legislators
say they will stand pat on the bill in
spite Of the governor.
Fairbanks Speaks.
They favor using the sinking fund
money for the current expenses. It is
possible that another conference COM
mittee will be appointed by the two
houses.
Ex-President Charles w. Fairbanks
speaks before joint session at two
o'clock this afternoon.

Senator Bowser received word to-
day, from Homer J. Carr of Gary that

legislature with a banquet at the Gary
hotel next Thursday night. Gary is
preparing for TOO guests The affair
will cost $1,000. Mr.. Carr says Gary
