WILL BE ACTED ON TODAY Reported for Free Press by our Special Corres- Illinois Senate Chairman May Block Progress By Declaring It to Be Entirely New Matter.

Five County Jail Prisoners Given Prison or Reformatory Sentence on Monday, SPECIAL GRAND JURY TO BE CALLED Judge Butler opened up the second week of the January term of the clr- cuit court at Murphysboro with a iparliul cleaning up of the criminal docket. The Republican Era says: The five prisoners in the county jail "who were indicted by the grand jury last week were brought into court-. 'They all plead guilty to the crimes "with which they aro charged, and will -do time in Pjntiac and Menard. They are George Long, who stole articles 'Jrorn Henry Anderson, another negro, on Seventeenth street. He go to the penitentiary.

Following the action of the subcommittee on last Friday, when the 1906 bill with the Shanahun amendment was sent to the printer, copies of the bill Cor use of the members of the committee have been printed. At the time the first joint conference committee was appointed, Lieut. Gov. Sherman instructed the senate members that they were only to consider such matters as were at variance between the two houses, and no new matter was to he taken up. This rule has not been changed, aud there is some question us to how the presiding officer of the senate will rule when the 1906 bill, with amendments, tls presented.

The lieutenant governor stated last night that he had not seen the proposed measure. It the committee has gone outside of his instructions with reference to new matter it will be up to the senate to overrule his decision or accept it. Should this be done and the bill taken, up as matter wholly within tbr province of the joint conference committee, all that will be required to pass it will be a majority vote in both branches, and it can then go to tho governor for his signature. On the other hand, should it bo determined that it is new matter, five days will be required to advance the measure through the different readings and place it upon final passage. There is every indication that there are breakers ahead.
