The judiciary committee resolution
relating to Senator Stephenson was
on the calendar, but it was laid over
until this week in order to give Mr.
Bodenstab chance to submit mi
nority report.
Among the new bills received in the
senate were measures for semi-annual
audit of funds and accounts of the
state board of control; providing for
superintendent of construction for
the state board of control. The pow
der and dynamite bill of the commit
tee on state affairs was recommended
by that committee for passage. The
bill provides for the regulation OF
powder factories and for a limitation
of amounts of explosives permitted to
be stored in any place.
Bakeries were discussed at length
in the assembly when the Kahn $50
cial-Democrat) bill came up for pas
sage. The bill fixed a penalty of from
SIS to $50 for operation of bakeries
between the hours of 6 p. m. Satur-
day night and 6 p. N. Sunday night.
The present practice in the large
bakeries of Milwaukee and others OF
the larger cities is to observe some
osher day than Sunday as a holiday
and on Sunday the bakeries usually
are in full blast getting out bread for
Mondays appetites. Assemblyman
Gettle and several others spoke
against the BILL while Kahn held the
fort against their attacks. He told his
colleagues that only the big baking
companies, which he said, were in the
baking trust, opposed the bill and
that they did so for selfish reasons.
Despite the fact that the stigma of
trust connections usually has been a
telling argument with the present as
sembly, the bill was defeated, the vote
being As to 81.
Senator Gaylord's remarks during
the course of the discussion on his
bill authorizing the city of Milwaukee
to borrow money to purchase park
lands which was laid over for one
week, shows how the supporters of
home rule for cities regard the pres
ent situation.
After close study of the home
conclusion, much to my disappoint-
ment, that home rule bill that will
hold water and Tom" Neacy, cannot
be passed by the present legislature.
1t will need a constitutional amend

In the assembly the Zophy bill, in
of the Milwaukee county board from
$500 to $1,000, which had been ad-
vanced to third reading, was reconsid-
cred on motion of Assemblyman Perry.
He offered an amendment to fix for
all time the salary Of the members Of
the board and chairman at $500 a
year, which was carried. The bill was
then advanced to third reading.
When an amendment to the original
Ballard bill, relating to physical con-
nection between telephone systems,
was introduced, Speaker Ingram left
his chair to support the change. The
amendment, it was said, strengthens
the bill in the interests of the indie
pendent companies.
Upon motion Of Assemblyman Perry
the assembly reconsidered the vote
by which 1t advanced to third read
ing the James woman suffrage bill.
