Delightful to Meet.

Notwithstanding the difficulties that
beset an interview with Madame Sara h
Bernhardt. the renowned Frenchwoman
Is delightful woman to meet She
smiles eternally and laughs heartily after
the manner OF her race. II Is a truth to
say that Madame Sarah In her dressing
room does not bear out the chronicle
that she was born In 1874 Indeed, one
would say OF her that she had reached
the age of so. At all times Madame
Sarah gives one the impression that she
must necessarily be an interesting and
yivacious couversationalist, and IA must
also be said that not one OF the news
paper men who were privileged to SEQ
her yesterday but grieyousIy regretted
his inability to converse with her in her
own tongue, II any OF those newspaper
men were to be asked what he Thought

Improvement Bills.

Fears are expressed as to the fate nj
three city Improvement bills which re-
main with the governor. One OF these
bills Is the general Improvement bill for
which the Commercial club worked &c
hard and to which the governor has made
several objections. Another Is one pro-
vidinS for the compounding of Interest
on unpaid improvement warrants which
the governor has said he would veto
The third Imposes a special tax for stree,
parking purposes upon the abuttine
property owners, The governor has jndi
Gated that he believed the parking cy-
pense should be borne by the citY ont
OF the general fund as at present
Governor Spry has been investjgat-
ing closely the constitutional provisions
relative TO the handling OF public funds
before passing upon the Kelly bill still
before him relative to securing TO the
state interest on public funds Under
the provisions OF the constitution the
state treasurer Is the sole custodian al
state funds. and the state has made nc
attempt TO exercise supervision over the
funds other than to require an ADEQUATE
bond and complete reports as to the
handling of the funds. The Kelly nil
provides that In case the treasurer OF
the state or any county. city or school
district deposits funds in any bank. tha
state shall receive interest in an amount
not less than per cent.

to appoint water commissioners IA Ia

doubt as to the constItutionaIity OF the
measure.

People Opposed.

Continuing the government points out
the fact that the legislature of 1911
passed q resolution for constitutional
amendment which proposed TO give the
Legislature the right to make exemptions
from the payment OF taxes. II this
amendment had been adopted the legis-
lature would have had the power to have
made the exemptions provided for In the
bill. However, at the last general cleo
ton the proposed amendment was de-
feated by o. large majority by the people
OF the state. The governor holds that
the people by this vote determined that
the legislature should not have the power
TO exempt property from taxation other
than that already provided by the const!-
tuition.
The constitution provides that he
taxes OF the INDECENT poor may be abated
or remitted, but the Olson bill does not
require that the widows and orphan chill
dren and totally blind persons exempted
by the proposed act shall be INDECENT
poor. law already on the statute books
permits the exemption of INDECENT poor
from the payment of taxes up TO $40.

INDEFINITE PERIODS
FOR C0NV|CTS NOW
Governor Spry Signs Bill
Providing for Indetermi-
nate Sentences.

On and after May Is next all persons
convicted OF felony except murder or
treason will not be sentenced for any
definite period. but shall receive indie
terminate sentences, which will permit
the board OF pardons wide latitude in
pardoning and paroling prisoners. Gov
ernor William Spry yesterday signed the
indeterminate sentence bill passed by the
last legislature and It Will become ef-
fective on May 13 next
The bill provides that the court In each
case where a person has been convicted
Of a felony shall impose an indeterminate
sentence according TO the nature OF the
offense, the law having fixed the mini
mum and maximum sentence for such
offense. After imposing the sentence the
court shall mail to the state board Of
pardons the sentence which in its judg-
ment Is the proper punishment for the
convict, and this communication shall be
preserved in the files Of the board OF
pardons for reference when the case
comes up for future consideration
The governor had deferred action on
this bill In order to ascertain whether
there was any doubt as to It's consti-
him to believe that the measure is con-
sututional, The new law is one greatly
desired by the state board Of corrections
Its purpose is to make better prisoners
Of the Inmates OF the state penitentiary
and to increase the possibilities for per-
manent reform. II the prisoners feel
that the duration OF the term of Inn
prisonment Is almost entirely, dependent
upon, their behavior while in prison and
on the sincerity Of their reform 1t is
believed that most OF the prisoners win

prison discipline will be improved and

GOVERNOR VETOES
EDGHE|LL MEASURE
The Bill Would Permit Can
celed Corporations to Be
Reinstated.

The Edgheill bill permitting the rein
statement OF corporations the charters
Of which have been revoked by reason
Of the nonpayment Of the license tax
was vetoed yesterday by Governor Will
liam Spry. The governor vetoed the
bill because of the fact that If the leg
islature continued to remit the forfei-
lures Of charters by delinquent corpora
tions, the effect of the law requiring
the payment of license taxes and i'm
posing penalties for delinquencies
would be nullified. He also believes
that there is a possibility that the pro-
posed law may be in conflict with the
provisions of the constitution provid-
ing that no franchise or charter Of any
corporation shall be extended or the
forfeiture Of its charter be remitted
by legislative enactment.
Governor Spry calls attention to the
fact that the legislature of 1909 pro-
vided that all domestic and foreign
corporations should pay an annual Ii
cense tax, and this law provided that
In case Of nonpayment of such tax the
charters Of the delinquent corporations
should be revoked. Under the operation
of this law for the past four years a
large number of corporations lost their
charters and forfeited the right to do
business within the state,
In 1911 the legislature passed law
similar to the Edgheill bill. The gov
ernor declares in his veto communica-
tion that he permitted the enactment
of 1911 to become a law because the
license tax law was not well understood
and many forfeitures were occasioned
through the lack Of knowledge of the
provisions of the law. Since the law
has been on the statute books the
governor holds that ignorance of the
law should not longer be pleaded as
an excuse for asking for the reinstate-
ment of corporations, He contends that
the law will not be effective in the fu-
ture if the legislature continually sets
aside the forfeitures and revocatious
provided for in the law,
The governor points out that corpora
tions which have lost their charters
under the enforcement of the law pro-
vidiDg for an annual license tax have
yet tho right to reincorporate, so that
no great injustice can come from a
failure to approve the act. The bill, if
1T becomes law, no argues, would
modify and annul TO a certain extent
the provisions of the license tax law of
1909.

Interest on Funds.

An important bill remaining in the
hands OF the governor Is the bill pro-
viding for interest on public funds and
another is the bill providing that water
commissioners for irrigation districts
shall be appointed by the district courts.
Under the constitution the governor
has ten days from the date Of the ad
journment of the legislature. excluding
the day OF adjournment and Sundays, IN
which to sign or veto the measures now
before him. In case he fails to sign or
veto any bills before him within the
ten-day limit. the bills become laws with
out his approval The teu-day limit eX-
pires at noon today The governor, how
ever, has considered most Of the bills
remaining before him and will announce
his decision with reference to them this
forenoon. He has indicated that at
least three or four OF the bills now be-
fore him Will be vetoed and in one or
two instances the veto messages have
been prepared but the governor does not
wish to make them public until they are
officially filed with the secretary OF
state

law II is possible for the authorities to
close permanently any premises used for

TO make the property owners liable for

of "Divine Sarah" on
Many Subjects.

To have been for full quarter OF an
hour face to face with Madame Sarah
Bernhardt certainly Is some distinction
To have been shaken 10y the hand by the
greatest living actress is to become dis
tInguished. To have been thus shaken

have heard the wonderful woman speak
ia a recollection that will live to the
grave--that one didn't understand a
word she said doesn't matter-wasn't 1t
the divine one herself from whose lips
these pearls fell?
To have done all this and not become
drunken with the delirium Of ecstasy
speaks well for the stability OF the mind
OF the ordinary reporter. Yet to have
seen the madame and to have been
shaken cordially by the hand-twice-
and to have seen her lips move and to
have heard her speak Is one thing. To
tell what she said and how she said 1t
IS quite another.
