short session Saturday passed to en-
grossment Mr.. Currey's bill appro-

ture of S12,5O0 for new laundry for
the main asylum. The house strug-
gled unsuccessfuly to keep a quorum

bers are out of the city, some attend
ing primary conventions in their
home towns. The first roll call today
developed ninety-three members, four
more than quorum, but soon there
was less than a quorum present.

on common carriers. and other COM
mittee work, the house adjourned I'M
til Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

troduced in the house Friday cover
ing subjects embodied in the COVER
nor's fourth general message to this
session of the legislature.
Two are bond retiring measures and
one to reorganize the controllers de-
partment in conformity with report OF
the state auditing board. The COM
mittee on public debt reported favor
ably the bond bills and the committee
on state affairs reported fayorably the
bill affecting the controllers office.
Ant-Plcture Bill Adopted.
Amended just as it was engrossed
Thursday so as to prohibit showing
representation of bull fights, stage
robberies, train robberies, bank rob-
berries, executions of human beings
and immoral scenes, the anti-prize
fight pictures bill by Mr.. Bowles, and
others was passed finally in the house
Friday by the very decided vote of SO
to /. This action followed debate
as to what is immoral" and a vain
effort of Mr.. Canales to strike from
the bill all prohibited exhibitions 9TH
er than prize fights and glove repre-
sensations and Immoral scenes"
Friday was the bill by Senators Ward
and Cofer for prohibiting the exhibit
ton of moving pictures showing prize
fights and similar scenes.

should be considered and passed, NOV
ing to postpone the Ward-Cofer meas
ure.

for appropriations aggregating $780,
$50 for improvements on the Austin
Insane Asylum, was given a unani-

diture of $2S,7O0 for additions to the

command of Inspector Dew of the
Scotland Yard.
The identification of the long-sought
fugitives on board the fogshrouded

Robinson and son. as booked from
Antwerp on July 20.
Crlppen was standing near the rail
talking with DR.. Stuart, the ships sur
geon, and attempting to appear calm.
But that he was nervous was indicat-
ed by his furtive glances and his re-
mark to DR.. Stuart.
There are three pilots coming
aboard" he said nervously, lis not
that unusual?"
The surgeon did not reply, but kept
his eyes on the strangers, who walk
ed rapidly toward them.
"Crippen, want YOU" said In
spector Dew quietly, as he approach
ed. The dentist recoiled involun-
tarily as he recognized the man who
addressed him, then the blood left his
face, and his breath came short and
fast and he gurgled incoherently AS
he was being led away to the cap
tain's cabin, whence he was trans
ferred later to his own stateroom, he
said gratefully, THANK God, the sus-
pense is over, and l am glad"
Crippen's arrest accomplished, Dew
hurried to Miss lie Neve's stateroom,
where he found her, still dressed as

nervous breakdown.

Mysteries for Ethel.

Her appearance, when confronted
by the detective and told she was un-
der arrest, was pitiable. All the con-
troll she had fought so hard to retain
throughout the voyage left her. She
cried out Historically and became so
faint that restoratives were neces-
sary. Shut in her room and restor-
ed to woman's dress, she was closely
guarded, as the vessel continued its
Journey, for fear that she would take
her life or collapse utterly.

republican party Of Idaho must not
take any chances of having inhict-

The favorable attitude of the dem

our astute political opponents So
the only deduction is that the demo-

a hand in the nomination of the re-

putting up the weakest man so as
to improve the chances Of the dem

This indicates that the hoped for
harmony in the empire state will
be lacking, and presages a demo

the significant bearing it will have
