CAN'T KEEP APPROPRIATIONS
WITHIN LIMITS OF REVENUES
Special TO The Nea0S.

Special to The Neaos.
Jackson, Miss, March 12.-Each
days developments in the legislature
furnish more conclusive proof that
Chairman Morrison of the house ap-
preparations committee will not sue
coed in his determination to keep ap~
preparations within the current reve.
nues for the ensuing biennial period.
The increase of the pension fund
from $350,000 to 100000 per year,
the allowance of $4,000 for a state
charity hospital in Jackson, together
with the increases made in the bud
gets for the state educational institu-
lions by the senate, together with
the certainty chat the upper body
Will make increases in appropriations
for elemosenary institutions, means
that the allowance for the biennial
period will exceed prospective reve-
nues by from 100000 to 100000. In
addition to these increases, deter
mined fight will be made next week
to secure consideration of the state
normal school bill, which will mean
an expenditure of at least 100000,
and the friends of that measure are
confident of its passage, if they can
get it up for favorable consideration
in spite of the adverse report from
the committee on education.
The campaign of education has
been persistently waged to convince
Legislators of the necessity of showing
at least reasonable degree of liber-
atty in dealing with state institu-
tions is having it's effect, and tn opn.
ion is growing that the ways and
the means committee ought to take
the bull by the horns Immediately
and report bill authorizing a bond
issue in the sum of from 100000 or
$500 900, or measure giving the gov.
ernor authority to borrow whatever
amount may be necessary to meet
deficit in revenues during the en-.
suing biennial period. =

ADVERSE REPORT ON
SEVERAL BILLS MADE
Special to The .Net0S.

Jackson, Miss, March 1.-The SEN
ate committee ON constitution yester-
day morning adversely reported sew
eral proposed constitutional amend
ments.
Among the measures slaughtered
were the resolutions offered by
Messrs. Rowan and Bible seeking to
amend section 206 of the constitution
relative to the manner of distributing
the common school fund. There has
not been a legislative session during
the past twenty years at which less
than a dozen plans have been pro-
posed for the revision of section 206,
and the only change that has been
made in that section since the adop-
ton of the constitution of 1890 was
an amendment authorizing the re-
tention of poll taxes in the counties
where collected, ini tead of paying col
leetions into the state treasury.
S. C. R. No. 20, by Mr.. Simmons,
proposing the initiative and referen-
dunn form of government, was adj
versely reported, in spite of the fact
that its author made a valiant attempt
to convince the committee of the de-
STABILITY of this plan. His amend
ment had been carefully framed, and
members of the committee recognized
it as a model of it's kind, but were OF
the opinion that the change proposed
is too radical
The only constitutional amendmon
favorably reported by the committee
proposes to amend section 81 by au
thorizing three-fourths of jury pane
in criminal cases to return verdicts
! the rule, however, not to apply to mis-
demeanors or to civil cases.

eral senatorial districts in proportion
to the population of each.
Col. Streets plan is to submit these
amendments for ratification or rejec-
ton at the Congressional election to
be held this year. While realizing
that, at first glance, the plan to re-
duce representation may not seem
popular, he believes that more effec-
tive work can be accomplished with a
smaller law-making body, and that
the work will be more satisfactory In
character; that reduction in the
number of Legislators will be certain
to elevate the standard of member
ship, and bring out better material in
the several counties and senatorial
districts.
The author of the proposed amend
ments has been giving this subject
very careful study for several years
| his ideas have been fully matured
/ and if the constitution committee sees
fit to submit favorable reports the dis
cussion thereon will be one of the
interesting features of the closing
days of the session.

which will contain the rights and priv
fleges which the city will contend for.
The objections to the Gary and Inter-
urban franchise are of minor impor-
tance. 1t is believed. and can be easily
adjusted. The city will probably hold
out for eight rides for q quarter instead
of straight five-cent fare, as the COM
pany is asking for on the grounds that
the haul from south OF the Ridge road
is so long that they cannot afford to-
carry the passengers that distance az
the rate of eight tickets for twenty
i've cents.
Another Objectionable part OF the
proposed franchise is that it prevents
an outside interurban road from pick
ing up passengers within five miles
of the corporate limits to be discharged
in Gary, which would bar the people
in the immediate vicinity of Gary from
getting into this place by the trolley
lines. Neither the city nor the people
will permit the passage of a franchise
which has a provision of this character.
At the. council meeting this evening
the entire council will have a chance to
discuss the matter pro and con and they
will also probably fix date upon which
the franchise will be granted.

Methodists Propose to Erect

East Chicago, Ind. March 2.-East
Chicago, not to be outdone by Ham
mond and Gary in the matter of the
elegance of its churches. proposes a
$4,000 edifice to grace the corner now
occupied by the Methodist church. at
Magoun and 14sth street.
With this object in view a meeting Of
the men of the Methodist church was
held Monday night, and the first SPADE
tul of earth, theoretically speaking, was
turned in the big project. A mum Der

Among those who spoke regarding
the necessity for q new building, and
the feasibility OF undertaking its con-
struction. were such men as e. W.
wickey. Willis Roe. Professor n. H
Clark. DR.. @. w. Miller, B. L. Evans
Robert Sterling, J. p. Lewis and DR.. J.
H. Palmer. These speakers declared
that the congregation had outgrown its
present quarters. that East Chicago de-
manded better church building than
1t now possesses, that the corner on
which the present church Is located IL
worthy OF a finer structure, and that

the project a speedy impetus and for

While DR.. Palmer was not prepared
to speak definitely regarding the de-
tails of the proposed structure. he de-
clared that the church would be one
which would be outclassed by but very
few churches in Lake county in point
of elegance and size.

FEW ATTEND THE
HARBOR MEETING
Slump in Interest in Disan
nexation Movement Is
Fast Dying Out.

Indiana Harbor, March "A compar-
atively small crowd gathered at the au-
ditorium last night to hear the question
of Instrumentation from East Chicago
discussed. President DR.. W. A Weiser
of the Indiana Harbor Civic league
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Attorney ]. w. Brfssey as the
first speaker.
Mr. Brissey made practically the same
speech that he made at the meeting in
Clfm's hall couple of weeks ago. He
said that the appelation twin icties as
applied to East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor was a misnomer, as his idea
of twins was that they should be the
same age, which is not true in this
case. He objected to the way the pat
ronage was being distributed by the
present administration. Attention was
again called by him to the cost of In
diana Harbor children attending the
high school.
Reverend H P. Ivey was the next
| speaker on the program. He said that
he wanted to be understood as not
wishing to take sides either way in
this matter OF separation, but that he
could always be counted on to do his
| part in any movement which tended to
the betterment of Indiana Harbor. Good
citizenship, he declared, should be the
aim and object of all, regardless of
self interests. Everybody said Mr.. Ivy
should be politician and do his part
to place the best possible officers in
charge of the city's affairs The min
lister said that he believed the city
needed reimbursement. but he was not
prepared to advise just how this should
be accomplished.
The other speakers who were expect
ed to give talks did not appear so DR.
Weiser made short speech. himself
| before declaring the meeting closed
Among other things which the doctor
said was that when he was introduced
| to Mayor Schlieker and held out his
hand to acknowledge the introduction
the mayor refused to take his hand. ex-
planning that his circle of acquaintance
| was large enough and that he didn't
care just at that time to increase it. II
commenting on the incident last night
the speaker said that he considered he
was not being deprived of any specia
honor when the mayor declined to NEE
him. The electric lights were out o.
commission for long time during ths
meeting, which. according to the chair
man, accounted for the small attend
ance.
The next meeting will take place tive
weeks from last night at Union hall
when DR.. Weiser promises to MAKE
some sensational disclosures.

There will be no franchise passed to-
morrow night by the Gary council CIV
ing the street car rights away on that
portion of South Broadway which was
recently annexed to Gary. The fran
chise committee agreed that there were
features of each of them which would
not work to the best interests OF the
city and these differences will have to
be adjusted before the grant is given
to any of the applicants
At the special meeting which will be
held this evening in the council cham
bers the question will be gone over
still more thoroughly with the repre-
sentatives of the various companies
with the idea OF inducing them to make
the necessary changes.

district the republicans would have no
trouble in that neck of the woods.
Go Int Situation.
The congressional situation was one
which was gone into pretty thoroughly
at tire meeting or the committee. IN
the most of the districts conditions
they relate to the congressional race
are entirely satisfactory and yet it is
the understanding that the committee
would like to have a strong congress
sional ticket all over the state. In the
Eleventh district there are number of
candidates and the same is true in the
First district. The committeeman from
these districts and State Chairman Lee
as we'll, it is said would like to see
some kind of agreement by which only
the strongest candidates in these dis
tricts would remain in the race.
Time Was Satisfactory.
The firing of the time for the state
convention early in April seemed to be
satisfactory to most of the candidates
and other republicans who heard about
it, Some believed that it would have
been better to postpone the convention
until there is more definite information
as to what Is to be accomplished at
Washington. But up to this time what
! is being done at Washington has not
| been allowed to figure very much In
| the affairs of the state organization and
| it was not believed that Washington
proceedings should be given very much
consideration when 1t came toa fixing
the date for the convention.
| Delegates to the state convention, &C
cording to new rule adopted, will be
elected all over the state on the same
day and this day is fixed for March rs
The state convention will last only one
day and the committees will be formed
and their work will be done on the
night before the convention It is prob
able that there will be little speech
making on the convention day, and ir
fact, about the only speeches that are
expected are those by the temporary
chairman and the permanent chairman

CUTS HIS
WAY INTO
ETERNITY
Walter Scott, Switchman on

His Hotel Room in Gary;
No Cause for Act Known

Walter Scott, s5 years old, an en-
ploye of the E., ]. & z. railroad made
desperate attempt to commit sui
eide at O'Clock last evening in his
room at the Kirk hotel Dependency
is believed to have induced him to at
tempt suicide
When found in his room, lying prone
upon the blood saturated bed clothes
life was practically extinct DR.. E. e.
Gefsel was summoned Immediately, and
arrived in time to stop the blood from
surging out of the severed arteries He
was removed at once in c. P. Jones'
ambulance to the Mercy hospital. where
the physicians dispaired of his life
1t is believed that the act was COM
mitted sometime after o'clock, but he
was not found until few minutes be-
fore o'clock. He had made but little
noise. and no one about the hotel had
reason to suspect suicide on his part.
The cutting was done with a keen
edged razor. and to make certain that
he would not survive, it was drawn
across his throat three times. Each
cut severed the wind pipe.
Was Well Liked.
AS far as can be ascertained at pres
ent, Scott is an unmarried man and was
believed to have been carefree, and OF
a naturally jovial disposition. He had
been employed constantly and was
highly regarded by the officials of the
e., ]. & E. road for whom he worked
as a switchman.
DR.. Gefsel stated last night that death
would ensue possibly from loss Of blood
but not from the fact that the wind
pipe had been severed. He said that
he thought the fact that Scott still
lived after such an exhaustive loss OF
blood, was most remarkable
