Penftentiary Legislation.
While the senate is da3lying on the
question Of penitentiary legislation and
reform, the house has become deter
mined that something must be done for
the relief OF the penitenuary system,
and a rather unusual course was adopt
ed to get action on the matter. a eau
Gus Of about 40 members Of the house
held a meeting and came to the con-
clusion that some kind Of penitentiary
legislation should be enacted at the
present session Of the legislature. Rep
reSentatiVe Reeves headed this caucus.

bill proposing penitentiary reform

time had arrived for the legislature to
take some steps towards penitentiary
matters. Representative Reedy, chair
man Of the house penitentiary commit
tee, opposed the resolution. He ex-
planned that the committee has had
several meetings and that he had ap-
pointed a subcommittee to draft a bill
out of the various bills that had been
introduced on the subject He declared
that this subcommittee would be able
TO report shortly This, however, did
not appear to appease a majority of

Senate Slow to Act.
While the house has practically come
to show down on this proposition, the
senate has not as yet evinced any great
desire for penitentiary Legislation.
Recognizing this fact, senator Brels-
ford presented a resolution providing
that a committee of three members of
the senate be appointed by the leuten-
ant governor to draft a prison bill
briefly providing for a few amendments
to the present law The resolution was
referred to the senate committee on
penitentiaries.
Despite all these efforts, the indica-
tons point to no general penitentiary
legislation at the present special ses-
sion of the legislature
