Cowan Case In Senate.
Steele of Renville introduced
concurrent resolution" in the senate
this afternoon which was for the pur-
pose of calling the attention of the
governor to the fact that there was
at least a temporary vacancy existing
in the judgeship Of the Second judi
cial district on account Of the I'M
parchment of Judge COWan and rec
ommending that he appoint Judge to
act in place of Cowan who Is barred
from service during the time that
shall elapse before the end of the trial
of impeachment. Senator Simpson
objected to the resolution stating that
he thought it was impertinent to the
governor to make the suggestion and
that the proceeding was not accord
ing to the provisions Of the constitu'
ton and asked that the resolution be
referred to the committee on judici-
airy. The senator from Stark was
voted down, however, and the resolu'
ton adopted and messaged to the
house. After this Senator Simpson
called the attention OF the senate to
the fact Of the concurrent resolu'
ton" and also called their attention
to the fact that the whole Cowan mat
ter was in the hands of the senate
at the present time and the senate
hen voted unanimously to recall the
resolution from the house.
8. B. 254 which was drawn for the
purpose of preventing combination
between fire insurance companies IN
regard to rates caused merry little
fight for a time. The bill was dis
cussed in the committee Of the whole
but before resolving into committee
of the whole the senate voted that
the talk on the bill should be limited
to five minutes each and that only
two senators should be allowed to
speak. Talcott was called to the
chair and while he did not enforce the
gag rule there was nothing accom-
plished with the bill as a motion that
It do pass was lost as was a motion
to indefinitely postpone. The COM
mittee arose and reported progress.
The senate was again Immediately
resolved into a committee Of the whole
with Davis in the chair when motion
to recommend do pass" was carried
