The Senate got down to business yesterday morning in a whirl, and forty-seven bills were Introduced before adjournment was taken at 11:30. Many of these bills are of such Importance as to give the committees hard work before their solution Is reached.

Senator Thompson introduced a bill to provide for a Juvenile court In Indianapolis. It Is provided that a Juvenile record shall be kept, as In the case of older offenders. The bill provides also for the taking of dependent children to private or State homes, where they may be well cared for. Senator Johnston, of Crawfordsvllle, with the exception of Senator Parks, of Plymouth, introduced more bills than any mem ber of the body. One measure introduced by him tnakCH criminal assault a capital crime in Indiana and punishable by death or life Imprisonment, at tho discretion of the Jury.

Another bill, which created some amusement, was a measure to restrict the ertd of automobiles. Senator Johnston wants them forced to run no faster than four miles an hour when approaching and passing ether vehicles. They must slow down when they get within 150 yards of the vehicle to be passed. lie also wants all automobiles registered with the county clerk. Indiana' exhibit at the St.

Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition was the subject of a bill Introduced by Senator Whitcomb, of Terre Haute. It provides for an appropriation of 310.000 to pay the expense of a creditable exhibit of natural resources and also for the printing and distribution of W.Cj0 copies of a pamphlet in which information shall be furnished about Indiana. The many accidents that have occurred because people have tried to light fires with coal oil, only to bo blown through the ceiling by an explosion of gasoline, is probably what Induced Senator Wood, of La- fayette. to introduce his bill making it unlawful to sell paoline for coal oil. Senator Gray, of Kvansville, created some comment by the introduction of a bill providing that the State shall furnish free echool books.

Provision is made that the distribution of the books shall be under the care of the State Board of Education. A number of senators who discussed the bill yesterday expressed themselves unfavorably concerning it. Senator Ball, of Muncie. is getting after dirty barbers with a sharp stick. He in-.

troduced a bill which provides for a State board of examination for barbers, and which provides for sanitary inspections of 55f The1Inie.mD?r3 the ard arc to draw a small salary and are to be examined by the State Board of Health as to their qualifications to pass on matters affecting the public health.

Hurty, It is said, a bill was introduced by Senator Ogborn, of New Castle, providing that a State laboratory of hygiene be established.

It was referred to the committee on public health. IMPEACHMENT OF SHERIFFS. One of the bills Introduced by Senator Johnston created some comment In view of the recent Dudley case. It provides that sheriffs who fail to suppress mob violence shall be subject to Impeachment and shall not be eligible" to election to any office. It is said that the senator desires to place on the statute books a law that will cover all points and the constitutionality of which may not be impugned.

Senator Dausman, who has been making a study of questions related to the State Judiciary, introduced a Joint resolution to amend Article 7 of the State Constitution relating to the powers of the Judiciary. His purpose is to divorce the Supreme and Circuit Courts from politics. His provision is that the Judges of both Supreme and Circuit Courts shall be appointed by the Governor by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to serve during their good behavior. He provides also that the Judicial power of the State shall be vested in one Supreme Court, in Circuit Courts and in such other inferior courts as the General Assembly may from time to time ordain and establish. It was resolved that copies of the Governor's message and Lieutenant Governor's address shall be printed for distribution.

Lieutenant Governor Northcott. of Illinois, was introduced to the Senate by the president and made a short talk, during which he remarked that it used to be said that when a man went from Indiana to Illinois he bettered both States. Things are a little better in Illinois now, he concluded. The Senate will convene Monday morning at 10 o'clock. EMPLOYES OF THE HOUSE.

Fall Report at Lnst Made by the Plunder Committee. The opening of the second day's session In the House was delayed almost an hour while the plunder committee, assisted by Speaker Marshall, completed its report. The members had spent the greater part of the night before on tho work, It being after 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning when they left Room S17 at tho English, and they were up and at It again by 9 o'clock in the forenoon at the Statehouse. The principal difficulty of the committee was In finding the right man for the right place. It had a surplus of applications, but in a few instances it was extremely difficult to find from all those recommended a man who was really qualified for this or that Important place.

For example, the members of the committee racked their brains for four or five hours over the question of a competent reading clerk. They wantea a man who combined the virtues of a powerful voice, good education, com mon sense and ability to translate Egyptian neirogiyphlcs. if called on to do so. There are few such paragons loose In Indiana and the members of the committee soon realized that fact. In their despair at one time they seriously contemplated arranging a competitive examination to which all the applicants for the berth of reading clerk should be subjected.

This was not done. however, because the report had to be finished and submitted 'at yesterday's ses sion and the time was too short. when 10:30 o'clock came yesterday fore-- noon. the hour set for convening, all the representatives were present, except the speaker and Messrs. Stutesman, Morgan and Stansbury.

The word was quickly circulated that they were delayed with the patronage distribution, and tho faces of tne prospective employes who had crowded into the chamber showed alternate emotions of hope, fear and disappointment. OPENING OF SESSION. At last, when the big clock showed that they were fifty-five minutes late, Mr. Mar shall and his committee came in and the session was opened. Mr.

Stutesman, as chairman of the committee, did not make the report, but the appointments were read by the principal and assistant clerk, door keeper and tho speaker. The official list of employes is as follows: File Clerk A. C. Strouder. Reading Clerk W.

Mr. Stutesman, of Miami, as chairman of the committee on rules, submitted a re- port providing for the adoption of the rules governing the session of 1901, with one or two unimportant changes in the titles of committees.

The report was adopted after some little Inquiry and d'scuaslon by Varl- sm 1 a cm ruia he and Messrs. Carmichael, Watson. Adair and Sclfers were named as a committee to secure ministers to open the sessions with ray er. Mr. Klrkman, of vayne.

COUNTV TREASURERS AROUSED. Senator Park's Dill Will De Fiercely Foment by Them. The last bill Introduced in the Senate yes- teraay, ro.

47, oy senator Parks, of Marshall county, is one that Is liable to create more excitement around the lobbies of the Senate than almost any measure in troduced in that body during the day. It Is a bill that provides that tho state treas urer and county treasurers shall deposit public funds In banks selected for tho pur 0 pose, the funds to draw Interest at not less than 5 per cent. The result in case the bill should pass would be that instead of county treasurers enjoying the interest of public funds the interest accruing would have to be turned over to the counties and in the case of the State to the State treasury. It Is expected that almost every county treasurer in the State will make a personal appeal to tho senators to kill the bill, and that banks generally will fight it desperately. While it is urged on the one hand that Interest on public money should go rightfully to tho county.

It Is pointed out on the other that since county treasurers have to assume the responsibility of getting very heavy arising from deposits of county money. It happens that the county treasurer of Marshall county is one with peculiarly ad vanced ideas on that very proposition. After being in ofllce one year he found that the interest arising from money ho had on deposit amounted to several hundred dol lars, lie drew it out and promptly placed It to the credit of Marshall county, saying that it belonzed to the county Justly and not to him. The result was that his salary amounted to about 1. QUO.

but he stated with almost Spartan resolution that ll.OJO was enough for any man and it satisfied him. Senator Parks, It is believed, thinks that if the treasurer of Marshall county can do that every other county treasurer can do the same thing. But there a divergence of opinion arises. Other treasurers come to the front with the statement that their election expenses are much greater than those of the treasurer of Marshall, and, more than that, their responsibility is much greater. If they had to depend upon the mere salary allowed by law, they say, they would have hardly more than enough to pay their office force.

While it is not strictly legal, perhaps, they make the contention that they are really entitled to the interest which comes from depositing public money in banks since they assume the liability of loss. Last night In the Denison Hotel Oliver P. Ensley, treasurer-elect of Marion county, was discussing the bill with a few of his friends. Mr. Ensley believes that the bill is pernicious, while on the surface it looks like a bit of excellent reform.

Unless provision should be made, he thinks, to increase the salary of treasurers such a bill as the one introduced by Senator Parks should fail. In addition to the heavy expense of office employes, which must be paid out of his salary of $11,000. the onerous election expenses must be borne In mind he believes, and while it might be argued that election expenses arc no concern of the county, yet he thinks that they must be taken into consideration until the millennium arrives or until election customs are radically changed. The opinion expressed by senators who have discussed the proposition Is that there will be a merry fight, but so much opposition will be brought to bear on the bill that it will fail. TO It PEAL TIIUAXCY LAW.

Senator CyM Davis Say Truant Officers Are Petty Tyrants. Senator "Cy" Davis, of Bloomfleld, who represents the counties of Brown, Greene and Monroe, is preparing to Introduce a bill In the Senate that will stir up a rumpus. Senator Davis Is firmly of the opinion that the law providing for truant officers and specifying their duties shall be repealed. Senator Davis, who is a Democrat, holds that truant officers havo come to be petty tyrants, as he expresses it, and that their usefulness does not amount to anything when it comes down to facts. Discussing his bill, he said yesterday: I Und in the counties I represent that objection comes in on all eidea about the truant officers.

Complaint has been made time and again that they have forced children to go to school when they knew they would expose those children to contagious diseases by their action. More than that, I find that no parent whose child happens to miss school now and then likes to be hounded by a truant officer. Senator Davis's plan is to put the duties of the truant officer so far as practicable back Into the hands of the trustee. In the face of the reports of Amos W. IJutler, secretary of the Board of State Charities, that the truajit officers have done a valuable work, it is believed that Senator Davis's bill will have extremely rough sledding.

WOODS IX XEW YORK. Ills Trip Causes Gossip Aliont Rail road Consolidation Dill. Tho departure of Floyd A. Woods for New York Wednesday started anew gossip about the probability of a reintroductlc of the railroad consolidation bill. Knt wn to the last session under the title of the Joss bill, the measure that was vetoed by Governor Durbin provided in effect that whenever a foreign corporation owns all the stock of a domestic railroad corpora tion the foreign company may take the property of the domestic corporation by deed or lease.

The sentiment against the bill was so pronounced during the last session that the general opinion Is It will not be brought up this session. In any case it would be vetoed by Governor Durbin. and, it is claimed by the opponents of such legislation, that Governor Durbin would not only veto it. but that its advocates could not possibly secure enough votes to pass it over his veto, Before leaving for New York Mr. Woods.

who was an active lobbyist for the bill the preceding session, claimed that his trip Is entirely on private business and has nothing whatever to do with public or even semi-public business. Statesmen Go Home. Senators and representatives took ad vantage of the two days' recess of the General Assembly and went home yesterday, as one facetious member expressed it, "to get at least one change during the session." So many of the legislators left town that the hotels and clubs were comparatively deserted, which condition, after the roaring activity of the past week, was all the more noticeable. Many of the statesmen have engaged quarters In the city and have brought their wives to stay during the session, Dut many wno have not done so seized the opportunity to take a trip home before the hard grind of the session commences. Mrs.

Dnrbin'a Reception. A reception will be given for the legis lators and their wives by Mrs. Winfield T. Durbin' at tho executive mansion, 1507 North Meridian street, Jan. 2S.

The date is subject to slight chanire. but the reren- tion will be held annroximatelv nt thH 1 time. Tho function to be civen bv the wIfe tlc. Gor wm be for the pur- poe ine numbers of the Senate acquainted with each other. The reception will be a departure from the custom of former years in that it will be held at the private home of the Governor, Instead or at the Statehouse.

For AVblpplnsr I'oats. Members of the Senate are awaiting with a great deal or interest tne introduction of a till by Senator Crumpackcr, of La- porte, to establish whipping posts for the punishment of wife-beaters. Senator Crumpacker, It Is said, has strong views on thn snh1rt. and Is on of uhn thlnV that hardly anything Is too bad for a man that treats nis wue Dauiy. The bill will probably be introduced in tho Senate early in the session.

BALL PEACE CONFERENCE XATIOXAL AXD AMERICAN LEAGUE 3IAGXATES SLOW TO ACT. Discussed Issues anil Proposed Agreement Until IO o'Clock Last Sight and Then Took a Rest.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 9. All the members of the joint peace committee of the National and American baseball leagues conferred here to-day, but took no action. The National members are at the St. Nicholas and the American members at the Grand Hotel.

They met separately during the forenoon with the owners and managers in their respective leagues, many of whom are present, as well as Presidents Harry Pul-Ham and Ban Johnson. The joint conference began at 2 p. m. and lasted until nearly 7 o'clock. There was another session beginning at 8 and closing at 10 p.

m. The discussion in the afternoon was opened by each one of the eight conferees being called on for an expression of opinion as to what he favored, what he thought ought to be done and how it could be done, how far the conference should go and other matters. Then a general discussion followed over the opinions thus expressed, some taking sharp issue with others, but all in a friendly manner. To-nlsht Chairman Herrmann, bavins' been designated by the conference to give out the news, said to the waiting newspaper men that they spent the evening, as they had the afternoon, In general discussion without any motions or action on anything, but that they seemed -to be getting together so that something might be done to-morrow. Chairman Herrmann said they had discussed everything that was known to be in dispute or under consideration between the two leading leagues.

In response to a question he admitted that amalgamation had been freely discussed with specific plans for a twelve-club league and other changes. He stated they had given special consideration to contract jumpers, and that there would no doubt be something done in that matter. It was generally conceded by all that the conference would complete its work to morrow, and this was generally Interpreted 1 lo.f"aVl getting together on the principal terms that would enter Into a peace agreement. It is even stated that drafts of such an agree--ment have been drawn up and presented, while it Is known that a number have drafts of different provisions that they want incorporated into the peace treaty. Although it is recognized that the conferees have final power, it was generally understood they adjourned earlier than expected to-night so they could confer with others of their respective leagues by wire and otherwise.

Chairman Herrmann left the St. Nicholas soon after the meeting to meet George It. Cox and the Fleischmann brothers, who nf the Cincinnati rinh nrovfna inini Ham.

Killiiea. somers and comiskey back to the Grand Hotel, where other American League men awaited them.

It is thought that after these seperate conferences during the night the conferees will be able to get still nearer together when they reassemble tomorrow morning. The representatives of both leagues said to-night that it was by no means time yet to arrange for a jollification, but that the prospects for such an occasion were very much better to-night than they were this morning. Indiana's Influence In EnRlnnd. Brooklyn Times. An effort is to be made to revive the glories of Bath, which in the time of Queen Anne and the Georges was the most fashionable, the most frivolous and the most expensive place In all England.

Thackeray gives a royal description of it In "Henry Esmond." and more recently Booth Tarklng-ton has made it the scene of the more thrilling incidents in his fascinating novel of "Monsieur Beaucaire." A dramatization of the latter is now being played in London with great success, despite the predictions of the critics that. there would be nothing but empty benches before the end of the first week, and this has possibly roused the people of Bath to the possibilities of their town. At all events they have just Invested MaJ. Charles Henry Simpson, former mayor of the town, with the badge of the ancient office of master of ceremonies at Bath. This was the office that Beau Nash held when he brought Bath to its zenith as a fashionable reaort.

Beau Nash was at Bath even a greater dictator than George II. It was he who arranged all the balls and other social functions, and he had the say as to who should be invited and who not. His smile made a man, and his frown damned him. New York once had an imitator of Beau Nash in Ward McAllister, but he was a weak one. Whether Major Simpson can revive the glories of the pump room or not remains to be seen.

His attempts to cage the ball were accurate, and had Cusick, Muncle's goal tender, not played such a brilliant game Indianapolis would have piled up a high score. Indianapolis won by a score of to 4. Two of the goals scored by Upson were re markable. He made one drive for the cage the entire length of the field and another one at a difficult angle. Coggshall also made a difficult drive, which was successful, and Gavitt's goals were pthe result of brilliant team work.

Twice the ball went Into the cage and rolled out. One of Hipson's terrific drives jumped the west cage and the ball glanced and struck a woman on the head.
