MONTREAL, March 14.-There has been
little fundamental alteration in the

General business is beginning TO sho"

IS also an excellent prospect that many
tariff uncertainties will be wiped away
The estimates for 1s21-1s22 ezpendi-

/ INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Dec. 1.-THE
reformatory removal bill having had
safe passage through the brief but
! stormy special session of the legisia-
ture, members of the general assembly
returned home today.
The legislature adjourned shortly be-
! fore one o'clock this morning after hav-
| ing been in session less than fifteen
hours. The reformatory removal act
with amendments which do not change
! il materially. was passed in the house
1 By vote of sixty-four to twenty-nine
and in the senate by a vote Of thirty
five to eleven.
Brave efforts TO force passage of a
soldier bonus measure came to naught-
The house, having passed bonus bill.
seventy-eight to six. allowed the mea-
sure to die shortly after midnight by
adjournment sine die. The bill was
transmitted to the senate but was not
handed down by Lieut. Gov. Branch
until after the house had adjourned
! hence no action could be taken in the
/ upper house. The bill. passed by the
| house under suspension of the rules,
was introduced by Representatives
Newman (Mericn) and Ahlgren tLake).
! The only opposition was from half
dozen republicans.
The house showed signs OF running
wild with Introduction Of bills after
the bonus program succeeded but the
senate struck closely to the "reforma-
/ tory only" program of the administra-
/ ton and only three bills were intro
duced. one for bonus (Ahlgren) one
for repeating the teachers pension act
| (Hogston) and one to legalize court
summons by telephone or telegraph
/ (Kline). and these died" in commit
/ tee.
The reformatory bill which provides
removal of the institution from Jeffer
sonville. appropriates 5000 900 for the
new reformatory and provides for ap-.
pointment OF a commission and other
details. A number of amendments
were adopted in each house but the
bill bore only three alterat tions when
II emerged from congress. These amend
ments stipulate appointment by the
governor of the removal commissions
within ten days of passage; that the
state board of account shall check the
finances of the commissions and thar
contracts shah be let TO the lowest res
ponsible bidder.
The fight in the house on the bonus
measure was the sessions Ihe SIX
republicans who voted against the mea-
sure were:

He asked one OF his senatorial
friends at the capitol today to get one.
directory OF the sixty-seventt con-
sress He would like them as soon as
possible.
Whether this request on the part Of
the CORNER president presages his in
tention OF re-engaEing II the political
turmoil on the HILL none of his friends
would say today. but 1t was taken as
proof positive that the influence Of
woodrow Wilson will make itself felt
in the treaty discussion that lies just
ahead.
For the time being. Mr.. Wilson ana
his friends at the capitol are COUNSEL
ing silence on the question of ratifica-
tion Of the new four-Fowered pact.
They want tina to consider the de-
veIopnents Of the last four weeks be
fore committing themselves TO any line
Of action.
Mr.. Wilson already has famniarfzed
himself with the terms OF the treaty s
printed in the new spapers. He appar-
emily, however. was not satisfied with
this, but wanted a certified copy.-the
kind of copy with which the senate
itself will have to deal when It reaches
the stage Of ratification.
There will be plenty Of time for Mr
Wilson and his supporters to formu-
Late their policy with regard to the
works of tho conference. 1t is no,
likely that President Harding will
transmit the four-powered treaty until
he is ready also to send up tho Yap
agreement and the naval treaty.
Because Of the holiday recess the
senate will not get around to consid-
ering the documents until well into
January.
