SENATE REJECTS ALLEN
APP0|NTEE after SEVEN
HOURS SECRET SESSION
LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS

Both branches of the legislature ad-
journed this afternoon until Friday.
Adjournment came when the house
and senate agreed upon the final con-
ference bill-the big executive and
judicial appropriation. The adjourn
ment decision automatically killed the
agricultural consolidation bill in the
senate agricultural committee.
Some of the joy of the victory which
came to the agricultural and livestock
interests was lost, tho, in refusal of
house conferees to insert an appro-
priation for the annual meeting.
Even in the old lean years of the
grasshoppers and the drouth and the
hot winds Kansas provided an appro-
priation for this meeting. This is the
first session in almost a half century
to reject the bill allowing funds for
the big farmer gathering.
Adjournment came shortly after .
o'clock this afternoon when the two
houses adopted the executive and judi
cial appropriation conference reports
The two houses-with attendance linn
tied to enough members to convene
and adjourn a session-will meet Fri
day to receive messages from the
governor.
In the final work of the session the
house ways and means committee re-
fused to make appropriation for the
state civil service commission.

Because he sought a scoop" for his
newspaper, W. G. Clugston, a Kansas
City correspondent. is today locked in
a senate committee room until his
papers go to press and lose the big
news of the senate executive session.
Clugston was found by senate officer
at o'clock this morning when he
sought hiding place between desks in
the chief clerks room of the senate.
The resourceful and ambitious cor
respondent was dragged before the
sergeant at arms. When the news
paper man refused to apologize for his
actions. the senate named a special
committee to wait on him. This after
noon 'Clug" was under the senate
ban with a decree that all other papers
except his own should receive the
''break" on the important legislative
action. The correspondent was locked
in private committee room and kept
under separate guard.
If Clug does not become belligerent
during the afternoon he is to be re-
leased at o'clock-the dead line for
all afternoon papers-and told to rev.
erence and respect future senate ex-
ecutive orders. The ambitious CORES
pondent was busy securing scoop
when sergeant at arms-lacking in
sentiment and sympa thetic instincts
med between two desks and gather
ing IN the big story. He was then
arrested and brought before the bar
of the senate. Final decree was that
he be kept under surveillance until

ford and Reed, were adopted without
serious opposition. Compliments were
paid Commissioner Crawford because
of his work in the labor department.
1t was the fact that Governor Allen
had declared against a representative
of labor or the employing interests on
the labor court, it is declared, that
Crawford's confirmation was rejected.
1t is probable Governor Allen will
name Crawford as a recess appointee.
The appointment must be made, tho,
without senate approval.
Five Legislators.
Names of five legislators were in
cluded in appointments sent to the
senate for confirmation almost within
the final official hour of the 1921
session. At least four additional mem
bers of the legislature are declared to
be due for appointments by the gov
ernor. When the senate took up the
appointments at $3.50 this morning
executive session was declared and
heated debate, with free and unre-
stricted handling of personalities en-
sued. 1t was one of the most turbulent
sessions ever held by a Kansas senate
regarding governors nominations
for administrative offices.
Judges Clyde NJ. Reed and Fred S.
Jackson, named by the governor on
the new public utilities commission.
were in the senate chamber during
preliminary debate. Senators Price,
Finley and Van De Mark served no.
tice that they wanted free and unre-
stricted opportunity to discuss the gov
ernor's selections. Senator Price an
swered Senator kimbalPS motion for
an open session with one of the most
severe denunciations of state admins
tration legislative tactics ever heard
in an open session of the senate. He
branded Governor Aliens trading OF
patronage as political chicanery' and
dirty politics. and asserted the gov
ernor had deliberately held up ap-
! pointments in an effort to effect
trades and deals and to whip mem
bers of the legislature into cowardly
submission"
Stopped the Clock.
In spite of the fact that Legislative
clocks had been stopped five hours be-
fore and that the milkmen were re-
porting for morning service, there
were many visitors in the lobbies when

NERVE STRAIN OF SESSION
Members of Houses Who Tried to
Sleep We're Bombarded With
Waste Baskets - Representative
Snyder Faints on Duty.

The nerve strain of the closing ses-
sion was shown in the restlessness of
legislators. Many members sought
sleep in their chairs, only to be awak-
ened by a fusillade of waste paper
and baskets. Then the house mem
bers and employees sought to relieve
the strain in music and the dance.
Newspaper men and the lobby Joined
in fun making. Long after midnight
Frank FARRELL, president of the Topeka
Press club, played the house piano,
while Representative Neiswander of
Shawnee wheedled at a fiddle and a
score danced down the aisles and in
vacant lobby spaces.
This morning the strain showed on
many anxious faces. In the house the
long call while appropriation bills
were under fire, had telling effect.
1t was during this call that Repre-
sentative Snyder of Jefferson county
tainted and was carried from the hail.
He had been constantly on the job in
the fight to block passage of the con-
solidation bill.
Representative Stanley of Wyan-
dotte ordered a supply of doughnuts
and coffee for members and employees
while members of the Shawnee delega-
ton and Representative Jolliffe of
Marion supplied apples. 1t was this
food supply which held the house to-
gether until the industrial court and
public utilities commission appropria-
tions were out of the way.
Shortly after o'clock this morning,
tired, weary law makers began filing
out of representative hail. There was
no recess. So far as official records
are concerned, the outing for air and
groceries was all a part of the pro-
ceedings prior to IL o'clock Wednes-
i day night.
Thruout the morning the members
sat in the upholstered house seats and
awaited a conference report that
seemed never to come. Then, shortly
after the house members had started
! out in search of their MONDAY lunch
cons, the senate received and accepted
the executive appropriation bill.
In a heated tilt on the floor of the
senate the provision to restore funds
for the annual agricultural meeting
lost. The evidence of further respon-
sibiIity was checked up to the house.
But there was nothing the house could
do without senate approval. In con-
sequence the house took the easy way
thru the trouble and voted to adopt
| the conference suggestions Thus end
ed the 1921 Legislative session SO far
as new laws were concerned.
The session which stopped consid-
Grafton of bills this afternoon had
! worked thruout Wednesday night in
both branches. 1t continued today's
session under Wednesdays calendar.
Had Adjournment been taken Wednes-
day friends of the consolidation plan
might have recalled the bill from the
| committee late today and given the
| bill a fresh start on its ardent way to
the session laws.

had quit and gone home earlier in
the night were hauled from their beds
at hotels and rooming houses, and
brought to the hall to answer to their
names and vote. Inside the hall. votes

even balance maintained.
Salary of $4,000 a Year.
The committee report finally adopt

each commissioner a salary of $4,000
year, as medium between the
$4,000 figure set by the house, and
the $4,000 figure set by the senate.
The senate agreed to the elimination
of the job of commerce counsel, from
the commission staff. and reduced the
staff of examiners from two to one.
hmm mediately afterward the house
and senate adopted the conference

SPANISH WAR
 VETERAN TALKS AT HIGH SCHOOL

Reinho1d Person, Spanish War veteran, gave an interesting talk of his experiences to the students of the High school yesterday. MT. Person was the youngest boatswain's mate in the navy during the war. He ran away to enlist when he was only 1 3. PaISson is the only man in Conneci- cut who has all four medals issued for the four battles of the war.
 Serving two years in the Philip pines he had many hair raising epi- scdes with the natives. MT. PerSsson showed many of his curios to the students, among them being a highly polished tomahawk which he took from some of the mountain natives. He said it was the only one of it's kind in the country and he has been pressed by the state librarian at Hartford to place it on exhibition. Persson told of how the boys of '98 suffered by the hack of food, water and medical care.
