Based on Experience.

The governors decision To ask
that the general assembly appro-
pirate the repair funds for msti-
tutions on hump sums rather than
in innumerable small specific
amounts is based on his expert
ence during last year in various
meetings with board OF trustees
OF the state institutions. y case
in point cited by the governor rs
one which came up at the state
home for soldiers and sailors
orphans at Kniglrtstown. The last
general assembly appropriated
81. 100 for the construction OF a
water plant at the institution.
The board OF trustees subse-
quently found that by changing
the plans, a plant costing the
same amount could be put in
which would save 81 900 year in
wages, and the old set of plans,
at the onder OF the governor. was
thrown aside. The board then
found that according to the terms
OF the appropriation act, the ST.
900 set aside for the purchase OF
construction could not be used
under the new plans. and the
governor was compelled to pay
for the plant out of his contin-
gent fund, the original appropria-
ton reverting to- the state treas
ury at the end OF the fiscal year.
Transfers Requested.
During the year the governor
has been requested time and
again by members OF board OF
trustees to be allowed to take
mony ferom one specific repair
fund to be used for other repairs
where they were badly needed.
but this permission has been re-
fused on the ground that it is
contrary to law. 1t is the COVER
nor's plan that where needed re-
pairs for an institution are found
to aggregate 81, 800, say to APP
propriate the money in a lump
under the head OF repair s,-lds,
rather than to specify each sep
arate item for which it shall be
spent.

GOVERNOR HAS
SOME REFORMS
WILL SUGGEST THEM TO
THE NEXT LEG1SLA-
TURE.
Separate Appropriation Bills to
be Passed Quickly-No
Waiting Till Last Day.

indianapolis. Ind, Jan. Coy
ernor Marshall is preparing to in
troduce some important reforms
at the next session of the general
assembly concerning the general
appropriations. According to his
plan. as outlined, he will ask the
general assembly to make its gen
eral and specific appropriations,
which have heretofore been in
chldad in one bill, in two separate
bills-one providing for the gen
eral appropriation necessary to
carry on the state and institutions
al Departments, and the second to
contain all specific appropriations
planned by the legislature. He
will ask that both bills be intro
duCed at the earliest possible time
in the session. and that they be
pushed to an early passage.
Matter of Repairs.
The governor will further de-
mand that in making appropria-
tons for repairs to state build
ings and grounds the assembly
men get away from their former
habit OF making these appropria-
tons so specific that the hands
of the trustees OF the various in
situations are virtually tied. and
that such appropriations be
made with some latitude SO that
the trustees NAV be enabled TO
exercise some OF their own bust
ness sense in spending the money

and efficiency in the administration of
affairs is admirable. An appropria-
ton is recommended to permit the be-
ginning of the valuation of all rail-
roads. 1t is significant that the Pres
ldent believes that with very few ex-
ceptions legislation for the regulation
of corporations has reached point
where II is well to wait while and
see If the vigorous execution of the
laws now on the statute books are
not sufficient to restrain abuses. He
further believes that the strengthen
ing of the confidence of capital in do
nestle investment is an important
matter. This part of the message will
not be hailed with Joy by Populistic
Insurgents, but 1t will be gratifying
to honest business men who realize
that prosperity cannot attend con-
slant business agitation and turmoil.
The message is not written from the
standpoint of the reckless agitator
bet rather from the point of view Of a
wise, progressive, fearless statesman,
and as such it will commend itself to
the good judgment of the American
people.

O'Clock yesterday AFTERNOON and it
was still showing internationally to-
night. Predictions are for more snow

The storm brought about the us

was nothing near a tie-up. Through
trains from Buffalo were on an aver
age of an hour late at Jersey City;
those from Chicago and mid-western
points from an hour to three hours
late. The new Pennsylvania tunnel
under the Hudson greatly aided that
road by the elimination of congested
switch points from the Jersey City
terminal.
The minimum temperature for the
day in the greater city was %; the
maximum 81.

THE STATES PRISON.
(Nnrthfield NeWS.l

A reason offered by the ReF. A. w.
Ford's friends for his candidacy for
the chaplainship of the House of
Representatives was that it would en-
able him to increase his present small
income as chaplain of the States pris-
on. Is it possible that the State pays
SO small a salary to its prison chap
lain that he really needs some other
work to obtain a living or was this
merely a Campaign argument?" If
there is not a fair recompensation in
the chaplainship Of the Windsor in
stitution it Is case where the Legis-
lature would be fully warranted in
lacking up a salary, for certainly the
position is one Of great responsibility.

re-enforced by native Frenchmen and
women and Miss Gallant was asked
series Of questions in English and
ordered to give the answers in
French. After half an hour of this
work Judge Bond decided she might
testify providing she kept close to
the written evidence taken by a
stenographer at the police station.
Hattie lie Blanc protested vehement
ly and took an exception to the rul-
ing. Miss Gallant was excused after
the decision. She Will testify to-
morrow. She may be the last wit
ness for the government. Her testi-
mony is regarded as of special inn
portance, for it is said to contain
much of the governments case

Half dozen witnesses were on the
stand today and their evidence was
partially contradictory as compared
with what they had testified before
tribunals.
Seymour Glover, a beneficiary un-
der the will of his brother, admitted
he heard his sister-in-law, Mrs
Glover, express the wish that her
husband behave himself. He said he
had heard Clearance Glover say he
feared some one would plug" him

women.
Another witness picked up a

said he had seen Mrs. Glover wear

ONE HUNDRED MAJORITY
FOR THE LIBERALS
Continued from page ~

The returns tonight showed that
the Unionists had regained st. Hell
ems from the Laborites. This Dor
ough, with the exception of last ell
ection had been Unionist since 1908.
The Liberals gained Southwark
(WesD Burnley and Coventry and
the Laborites gained Woolwich and
Whitehaven, all from the Unionists,
while this mornings returns from
Sunderland showed that the Liberal
candidate, Greenwood, and the La
borite, Gladstone, had replaced the
two Unionists there.
The turning of the tide toward Lib
eralism is a surprise for the Union
lists who counted upon capturing
half a dozen seats from the enemy
The greatest surprise was in Coven-
try, because that is the seat of mo-
tor manufacturing and the protec-
tionists have put great stress on
their plea that tariff reform would
prevent the growing competition
from American machines.
The Liberals hardly expected to
win Burnley, because the Socialist
Hyndman was in the field and hoped
to take part of the labor vote. The
Southwark contest was one of the
most interesting, E. A. Straus, Lib
eral winning by only twelve votes.
In Woolwich, Will Crooks, who was
turned out in the last election, re-
captured his old seat by majority
of 1885,
The Unionists concentrated their
heavy fire on Battersea, but John
Burns, president of the local govern
ment board. again surprised them
bringing up his majority from 555 in
the last election to 1892. The So
cialist Shaw, whom Mr.. Burns en-
emies among the workmen put up in
the expectation that he would divide
the votes, poled mere handful.
John Burns dashed around the con-
stituency all day in an automobile
Sir John Harrington, the Unionis
candidate, and his wife, followed sui
in another. Mr.. Burns appealed tt
his friends. Don't be taken in BY
the Establishments of fine ladies wht

Almost everywhere fewer ballots
were cast than in the last election
More Liberals than Unionists stayed
away from the polls. Excluding tn,
districts which changed their com
plexions, the Unionists made relativ,

An impressive lesson of the cam

they are to break away, though tn
parties change their platforms radi

cised over their surprisingly small
influence. Almost all the most i'm

favored so, then 80. 1t is now con
