the second time within twenty-fou,
hours. Representative. Klemer Of
Faribault electrified the House OF
Representatives by declaring today,
as he did yesterday, that he was Of
the opinion; that the committees 81
the House had been packed" for
the special interests. --
He made these remarks when the
special committee, appointed yester-
day to report on the language he
used and the charges which he
made, reported to the House this
morning that he should either be
made to apologize or be censured.
Klemer arose and refused to
apologize and offered a resolution
asking that committee of seven
be appointed, he to name three, the
speaker three, and the six members
to choose the seventh, to completely
investigate the organization of the
House.
A recess was then taken until 3
o'clock this afternoon.
When the House convened this
afternoon it proceeded with the
regular order of business and up
until 4 o'clock the Klemer resolution
had not been reached.

The last public hearing of the in
vestigating committee of the Red
Wing training school was held in the
senate chamber last night. Little
evidence of Importance was present.
ed but review of all the testimony
was presented. "There will be no
more public hearings" said Chairman
Rockne, "but a few executive ses-
sions of the committee will be neces-
sary before a report can be framed
so that just when the report will
be presented l cannot say, although
the committee wants to get rid of
the task at the earliest moment"
There is no way of telling what the
report will be, published predictions
in the Twin City newspapers to the
contrary Notwithstanding. That
there will be some censure of the
school seems certain and if there is
not majority report recommending
that a new head be secured for the
institution, it seems safe to say that
minority report to this effect will
be presented.
After it's boisterous morning ses-
sion, the house got down to business
yesterday afternoon and was so in
dustrious that it held night ses-
sion-the first of the sesion-and
passed nearly score of bill among
which was the E. Warner measure,
making the season for mink, musk
rat and beaver from March / 5 to
November ]. Representative Cal
Stones bill which sought to expend
money in IAN extension enlargement
and identifying of the grounds of the
new state capitol building and pro-
vide for a commission with power to
acquire lands therefor" was rocked
gently to eternal sleep after some de-
bate by a vote of SO to II. The
house passed the Senator Putnam bill
"authorizing the consolidation OF
public drainage ditch proceedings in
certain cases." The house also pass
ed the Sundberg bill proposing con-
stitutional amendment authorizing
the state auditor to levy an acreage
tax on all lands insured against loss
by hail and wind at the option of the
owners for the purpose of creating
an insurance fund against damage
to crops by hail or wind storms and
to provide for the manner of hand
ling and distributing such a fund
This bill now needs only the sigma
ture of the governor.
All of the afternoon session of the
