Convlots to Crush Stone.

Marquette, July 26.-After a tenn
pestuous voyage from Hancock in
the training ship Yantic, in the
course of which the little steamer
came near being wrecked on a reel
at Point Abbaye, Gov. Osborn ar
rived here Tuesday to consider with
the board of control of Marquette
prison the disposition of various
matters, particularly that concern
ing the contract held by the Mar
Quette Box and Lumber company
This contract expires next month.
The company, however, has the OPP
ton of renewing it.
At the last legislative season $780,
600 was appropriated for the employ
ment of Marquette convicts on state
account and 1t was understood the
state was to take over the box fac
tory. Gov. Osborn, however, doesn't
favor this course. In the first place
second hand machinery. In the sec
ond place he is understood to doubt
the advisability of having the state
embark on the manufacture of boxes
He says the increasing. use of paper
fiber boxes is greatly reducing the
demand for wooden packing boxes.
While he has not satisfied himself
that conditions are favorable for the
experiment, the government regards
with some favor the plan of having
convicts operate quarry for the pro-
duction of crushed rock and sug-
gests that this material might be
furnished to the counties pushing
good road improvements in lieu of
the cash awards now paid.

CANNON IS AGAINST
DIRECT ELECTIONS
Ex-sPEAKER AMONG THOSE
WHO UNNECESSARILY OP.
POSE PASSAGE OF THE
RESOLUTION BY THE
HOUSE. 4

Washington, D. C.-The house of
representatives by a vote of 296 to
16, passed late yesterday the Rucker
resolution for a constitutional
amendment for the direct election
of United States senators. This is
the first of the democratic measures
passed by the house. 1t went
through without modification and
with a speed that brought protests
from the republicans. The resolu-
ton, as approved, is in the form Of
the Borah resolution reported out of
the senate judiciary committee in
the closing days of the last congress.
Republican opposition to the
resolution in the house was based on
the proposition that it did not con-
tain the changes made in the fight in
the senate, which assured that con.
gress should continue control over
elections in the several states.
After six hours Of debate in which
many demands were mdae for chang
es in the resolution, all but fifteen
republicans voted for the passage of
the resolution. The majority of the
republicans had stated during the de-
bate that they would support the res
o%lution, because they were convinced
that the public wanted such a consti-
tutional amendment submitted to the
country as quickly as possible.
Those who opposed the resolution
on the final vote were:
Republicans: Cannon, Mann. Of IL
linois; Danforth, Dwight, Malby Of
New York; Dobbs, Fordney, Memo
ran, Harris, Lawrence, Mccall and
Wilder Of Massachusetts,; Kinds Of
Maine, Sulloway of New Hampshire;
Utter of Rhode Island.
Democrat: McDermott Of Illinois.
Former Speaker Cannon, Republic
can leader Mann and others of the re-
publicans who voted against the
measure declared that its form was
such as to threaten the control ove
senatorial elections in the state, CIV
en- to safeguard the integrity of these
elections. They insisted, as did 9TH
er republicans who voted for the res
o%lution, that the direct election am
endment should be offered without
any language attached that might be
dangerous to the future COMPRESSION
al supervision of senatorial elections.
