orably recommended by a decisive ma jority on division. It was vigorously opposed, but the opposition which had prevented a favorable report on two former occa sions was weakened by reduction of the amount of the ap- propriation from 5000 to s50.0o0, but probably more by a clearer presenta- ton of the reasons why the bills would be passed. The result was due in great part to the addresses of Miss Boehringer and Mrs. Bush in favor of the bill.
 Other matters before the committee of the whole were house bill 167 for the amendment of the military code, favorably recommended; house bill 175, proposing to make present to every state officer who found it neces- sary to change his residence to the capital, s2,000 to cover expenses, though 1t transpired in the debate that that was to be only another way or increasing the salaries of state off, cers which can be increased in no other way. The bill was slated for indefinite postponement; senate bill 37, providing for the burial of the bodies of former soldiers. sailors and ma
 rines and the widows; senate bill 19. amending the law relative to civil procedure

Haynes raised a question as
 to the advisability of such action. He
 was not sure that it was good act in the proposition for so long a delay in | trial, on account of the difficulty of securing the necessary witnesses. Mir. Haynes rather favored the earlier trial 1 and the interlocutory decree. The mo- ton to recommend the bill was with drawn and it was left on the calen- | dar of the committee of the whole for | further inquiry. l Senate bill 90, known as the soldiers
 settlement bill, was tavorably rec
