house
In the senate number of new bills
amending the criminal statutes were
introduced by the committee on judi
ciary, one making the penalty for bur-
glary with explosives twenty-five to
forty years Imprisonment. This meas
ure is inspired by the activities Of
yeggmen in the country districts dur.
ing the past year, during which hun
dreds of small banks have been looted.
Secretary of State Frear having
refused to allow the payment of $20S
as salary to B. j. Castle as second as
sistant attorney general, who was APP
pointed without the consent OF the
civil service commission, Attorney
General Bancroft is preparing to take
the matter to the courts within few
days Deputy Attorney General Jack
son held a long conference with Secre-
tary Frear, at the close of which he
said his department was looking up
ways and means OF testing tho right
of the civil service commission to re-
fuse to exempt Castles position. 1t is
thought the proceeding will be man
damus before the supreme court, pro-
viding that court will take Jurisdiction
in the matter.
The holding of evening sessions is
scheduled to last until the committees
are practically through with hearings,
and this may mean at least a month or
six weeks. The Democrats are opposed
10 the new scheme and they may act
In such way as to defeat the purpose
of the change.

mer, more keen interest is being ta-
ken in the forthcoming discussion OF

ported bills:

upon public utilities for purposes Of
acquisition by municipality, passage.
