conference held here on Saturday.
The idea of the conference is for
the Governor to name a commission
of seven, two to be senator's, two to
, be members and three citizens, to
make an inquiry into the manner in
which the consolidation of such de-
partments has operated in other
States.
Action of the conference on various
pending bills will also be communi-
Gated to the Governor with comments
for his information.
Exhibit Nearly Complcte.-The big
exhibit of the State Department of
Health for the Panama-Pacitic En-
position is partly in place at the eX-
position and the remainder will be
shipped within a few days. Every
effort is being bent to complete it and
an interesting feature showing edu-
cational work is about finished. Owing
to the fact that the building in which
it is to be installed is not quite fin
ished and is not ready for the other
exhibits the State is able to make the
exhibit still more complete. The State
College exhibit, which was in the State
Museum. has been taken out and parts
of it will probably be used at San
Francisco.
Holiday On the Hill.-Capitol Hill is
enjoying an unusual holiday to-day,
practically every department being
closed. Governor Brumbaugh is not
expected to return until evening and
very few of the department chiefs are
here.
Insurance Money Coming m.-The
state insurance tax is coming in at a
lively rate just now and it is expected
that over a million dollars will be in
hand by the end of the month. Part
of this money is returned to local dis
trlcts for firemen's relief funds.

tendent Schaeffer and DR.. j. George
