Pins Hope on Senate.
The senate met at II a. m. today
but had series of special orders set
for consideration, and it was a ques.
ton whether the repassage of the
two bills would be taken up before
late in the day at least.
Governor A. o. Eberhart, some of
whose appointees had been laborfng
all the past week to line up the house
members to sustain the veto, was wait.
ing news of the house action in his
Office. He professed not to be disap.
pointed.
Il am not surprised at the vote in
the house." he said. 81 rather looked
from the fact that the house organi.
cation was working to pass the bills
over the Veto"
The governor would not hazard a
prediction as to the senate, but evil
IDENTIFY is pinning hopes in a failure
to muster the necessary votes for
the two bills in the upper house. They
must receive AZ of the 63 senate
votes. The Nolan bill originally
passed the senate April 8 by a vote
of 80 to 5, no effort being made to get
full vote.
st. Paul, April 19.-For some years
the dairymen of the state have been
trying to get law passed regulating
the shipment of cream. Senator John
stone fathered measure in their in
terest at this session. 1t provides that
all shipments of cream for a greater
distance than IS miles must, here
after, be made in refrigerator cars.
The bill has now passed both senate
and house and awaits the Governor
signature.
House Refuses to Concur.
The house yesterday refused to con-
cur in the senate amendments to the
salary bill. These amendments pro-
vided, among others, for an increase
iE the salary of the chief justice from
$1,000 to $500, and for an increase IN
the salary of the secrtary of the tar
commission, from $2,400 to $4,000.
The house has amended the senate
reapportionment bill so that the first
district shall remain as at present.
1t takes Lincoln county from the pro
posed second district, and puts it in
the seventh. The third district is the
same as now, with Washington coun-
ty added, Washington county being
taken from the new tenth district,
Wright and Meeker counties are add
ed to it. Beltrami is detached from
the sixth district, as proposed by the
senate, and put in the eighth, and
Carleton county is put in the sixth
district. 1t is believed the senate will
consent to these changes if the bill
is finally passed by the house.
The house defeated Mr.. Tiegen' S
bill prohibiting dealing in futures.
The vote was 81 for to 40 against.
Presidential Primary Preference.
The Lundeen presidential prefer
ence primary bill has been unanimous
ly endorsed by the senate. 1t pro-
vides that the second Tuesday in
March shall be primary election day.
Delegates are elected by congression-
al districts-two in each. When a
to another column in the ballot which
bears the names of candidates for
nomination, and marks his preference.
Such instruction is binding on the del
egates. -.le
Pensions for Deserted Wives.
The house has passed a bill sup
Elementary to the mothers pension
bill, which provides for the pensioning
of deserted wives. Wife deserters, if
arrested, may be put to work on state
lands, and part of their wages used
to support their families.
The house failed to come to any
decision with regard to blue sky
law. The consideration of proposed
measures of this character was con-
tinued until Monday. 's
Grain Report is Adopted.
The house grain committee report
was adopted by a unanimous vote
yesterday after the only feature OBJ
jectionahle to the grain interests, who
were under investigation, was stricken
out. This was section 13 intended
to whitewash the Equity Cooperative
Exchange of the charges made against
it and to discredit the senate inees-
tigatioh.
