son, of Austin, followed with substi-
tute resolution providing for consid-
Grafton Of each Of the thirteen charges
separately, with a vote at the end.
The Tillotson resolution. after a par
liamentary wrangle, was tabled, 90 to
65. The Bledsoe resolution was then
adopted.
The articles Of impeachment to be
drawn, first must be passed on by the
House before they can go to the
Senate. Legislative leaders expressed
the belief that the articles, in view of
to-night's vote, will be adopted
quickly.
Quiz Lasts Three Weeks
Should the articles be signed to-
morrow, Governor Ferguson would be
automatically suspended from Office,
his place taken by Lieutenant Gov
ernor William P. Hobby, pending
SENATE dNNAOlAs
The investigation which ended to-
day had been going on almost three
weeks. Speaker Fuller issued a call
for session of the House to consider
impeachment late in July.
Governor Ferguson later called the
entire Legislature in special session 10
consider passage of the State Uni
versity appropriation bills. which he
had vetoed. The Senate took up these
bills on August 1, the day of conyen-
ing. and later passed them. but the
House proceeded TO the impeachment
investigation.
Much of the stir which caused the
investigation resulted from the Gov
errors attitude toward the university.
He objected TO President r. Z. Vinson
as head of the school. and TO certain
members of the faculty.
Named Other Regents
When the Board of Regents did rot
Gust these men he appointed other re-
gents. Through an injunction, some
OF the new regents were unable TO act
and Governor Ferguson, claiming that
there was corruption and inefficiency
in the school. vetoed the appropriations
for its support for the next two years.
He also claimed the university was
fighting him.
Other charges against the Governor
were that he failed to pay back to the
state, as promised, funds appropriated
for incidentsls at the mansion, but

ST. PAUL. Minr., Dec. 21.-James Manahan, former United States repre- sentative from Minnesota, and attor- ney for the National Non Partisan League: Oscar E. Keller, St. Paul com missioner of public works; and Thom as J. McGrath, former state represen- tative. were indicted late today by the Ramsey county grand jury on a charge of riOting. The indictment came as the result of investigations of certain speeches made during the recent street car difficulties here. The talks made by the three men indicted and others at an open air meeting preceded an attack by strike sympathizers on property of the Twin City Rapid Transit company during which the windows in seventy street cars were broken and trolley wires cut.
 In the final report the grand jury censured the local police department for their failure to take action at the start of the riot.
 l It is the judgment of this body that | had the proper effort been made by the | police department the disturbance would not have reachead the propor- tions it did. and the unfortunate re- l suits were due in a large measure to

Mrs. Daniel was denied 1 judgment.
