Senate Puts 1t On Calendar
Despite Adverse Commit
tee Report.

| Pierre. s. D.-The legislative in
vestlgatlng committee expects to get
in its report this afternoon in both
houses, if Chairman Vandemark re-
turns from his home at Alexandria
where he was called by illness. 1t will
not contain anything of any special
Importance other than that in regard
to the secretary OF states department
already reported
Pierre, S. Din the house yester-
day the bill TO establish a normal
school at Bonesteel was reported in
without any recommendation, and
the bill for distribution of the
supplua of the game fund among the
counties, with an unfavorable recon-
mendation. Ruckman attempted to
provides for codification of the
state, and have it placed at the head
of the calendar for the day. This
was opposed by March, Rinehart and
Benson, who could not see the need
of such immediate haste on the bill
before it was printed and placed on
the desks of the members, and the
bill went over one day.
Attempts to pull back the bill for
licensing nurses went down as did
the attempt to get back the bill to
prohibit the sale of bad eggs in the
state, which showed that the bad
egg" men were stronger than the
good ones and the bill is in the dis
card for good.
Rifehart called up his resolution
in regard to the question of dis
elimination against normal schools
! in regard to teaching in the high
schools of the state, and announced
that he had learned that the dis
elimination is through an organiza
ton of professors and other men,
bers of committee of institutions
of the northwest which could not be
reached by legislation, and he
thought that so long as such a com
mittee controlled the schools, and
were outside of legislative control
themselves. the state ought to bring
its law into harmony with the organ
ization His resolution filed several
days ago was adopted.
Liquor Sale Bill Goes Over
House bills 251, attempting to reg
ulate the sale OF liquor by druggists,
and 60, providing an appropriation
to extend the twine plant at the
penitentiary were up as special or
ders, and after several amendments
had been offered to the drug bill it
went over until today for considera-
tion of the amendments. House bill
so. was passed, Thompson, of Min
nehaha. explaining the needs of the
extension Of the plant with the con-
tract in the shirt factory expiring i'll
| March, and no other employment for
| the prisoners in sight until the plant
| for making twine is increased. Ben
son supported the measure, and stat
ed that the shirt factory plan was
put up to defeat the original plan
| to establish twine plant at the pen
itentiary, that the appropriation
asked was rather large, but he stood
ready to vote for it. Rinehart sup
ported the bill, as did others, and it
went through with good majority.
