custom Is for the second legislature
in a governors term to turn down ali
his suggestions. This t&ne Che main
things denied the governor were ;el7-
islation on water way, anti-pass, re.
vision of the election law, public util-
tiles and insurance law revision.
Among the measures the governor
advocated in his message and when
got through were civil service, parole,
railroad and warehouse, Inability, oc-
pational diseases, corrupt practices.
Chicago harbor, commission from
amendments and workmen compen-
sadon.
n Insurance Bills in Peril.
n the closing hours Il appeared
that insurance legislation would near
ly all go to smash. Up to late hour
the cAly bill passed in both houses
was the Seaman bill, permitting ill
nos life Insurance companies 10
write accident and health policies. or
present companies to reorganize for
such purposes upon deposlting extra
reserve.
One feature OF the session is the
comparatively small nu.fDer OF bills
that have ben passed Paradoxically
enough This is looked UPON as a good
sign rather than the reverse. In the
list that goes to Governor Deneen,
the leaders in both branches say, are
a few measures that are in the cate
cory Of bad" legislation. The blud-
geon has been used ON bill after bill
that has not been considered meri-
' torious
Unusual large lobbies have attend
es the session, the reason for their
coming covering nearly every bill in
successful list and the mortuary
column.
Victorious for Reform.
The geform organizations have
striking instances Of their triumph
after years OF endeavor showing in
| the sassage of the adult probation
| bill for which the civic federation
| fought, and in the comprehensive
Civil Service Reform Association.
The legislature this year was more
susceptible to the influence of pub
hc sentiment than ever before in its
history, so men who have been on the
ground all winter declare.
I The appropriations this year will
amount to $2C,000,000 or so.
The large bills were still in confer
ence committee until late at night.
! One feature Of the bills this year Is
| the excellent treatment accorded the
University of Illinois by the assem-
bly, finaHciers, particularly in the pas
sage of the one mill university tax.
| This is to become effective in two
years and it will mean about $780,
900 year.
| Charities received fine treatment
one bill calling for a new state insane
hospital to cost s1.2Oo,0O0. Dunning
Is to be taken by the state this time,
and 100000 for new buildings is
| granted.

New York, Moy 20.-Effective SUP

today after it had developed dis
tinctly heovy tone.
The trend of the market indicated
that it was influenced in no small
degree by the action of the federal

Near traders were unable to force
extensive recession and the support
which was offered was sufficient tc
cause general recovery and in some
