end that II their actions would not be a detriment detri-ment to nQ state Some construe the chaplains words to mean that he has I Ij come to the conclusion the house is J not going to do anything good and I hopod to prevent them from doing L anything very bad while others believe i I the invocation was directed to the railroad I rail-road bills as it is well known the chaplain is opposed to the passage of I any of them for fear the Rio Grande I j will not build to Iron county I S The railroads were given two more A measures to light in bills presented by Mr Bolitho One creates a board of

those who entertained the idea a trick for I the burning word in the handwriting S of Mr Stevens constituents are still safely locked in his desk The time I referred to > was during a debate over the subject of locating the site for the school for the deaf and dumb at Ogden that Mr Bolitho nearly made an allusion al-lusion to the document and though a ripple passed over the house as the result the anticipated request to dig t up did not come There are a great many of the members who are very anxious to get an opportunity to express ex-press themselves concerning a topic that could so agitate the staid temperament tem-perament of the lords THE PROCEEDINGS Mr Curtis presented a petition signed I < sign-ed by sixtyseven voters of View Weber i We-ber county asking for the passage off I of-f B

Mr BoKtlios bill to regulate Pullman car charges Mr Crltchlow vigorously opposed the motion as did Mr Bolitho Mr CrItchlow could not sec why one should be compelled to pay an extortionate fare for the privilege privi-lege of riding in a Pullman after hav log paid one fare he < having been in formed the railroads owned a ma 5 jority interest in the sleeping cars S operated by them Messrs Clark

BOLITHO OBJECTS I t r Mr Bolitho addressed the house on I I the subject of indefinitely postponing I 0 hills before they had gone to committee I commit-tee He considered it a great discourtesy discour-tesy to any gentleman to refuse to allow i al-low his bill to be considered by a committee j com-mittee There < had been altogether too much of that sort of thing He hoped I It would not be countenanced by the house in future S SO DOES MR SORENSON 5 When the order of third reading was reached Mr Sorenson objected to bills I ibelug read the third time on the same S S day on which the committee reportS report-S bad bpen adopted The bills reported i I by the judiciary committee were there I i lore allowed to go over I pt I FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB I S B No4 came up on third readIng < Ji read-Ing Tin bill as amended and passed I I by the senate received some furtherS I 11 > further-S amendment and was passed < with but I two opposes votes Mr Critchlow I S voted against it for the reason that he did not think the title covered constitutional I consti-tutional requirements and Mr Fergu i S sons opposltlil arose from a belie L LIif F < = 2 f that the hill was unconstitutional in that it carried an appropriation The bill incorporates the state school for the deaf and dumb provides for its management and appropriates 6000 for its maintenance The principal amendments made by the house consisted in eliminating section sec-tion 3 which fixed the term of school leaving it to the governing board and changing sections 10 and 11 Section 10 directed that the school occupy its present accommodations until next September when it should be removed to Ogden Mr Nebeker of Rich thought the section did not provide definitely for a site at Ogden and wante it retained as at present until the Ogden location was made The point raised some little discussion discus-sion when Mr Bolitho suggested the section be made to provide that the selection of the site be placed in the hands of a committee to be selectee from among the now famous Ogdel petitioners The reference passed with mild attention being paid to it and the consideration of the bill progressed progress-ed Mr Nebekers idea prevailing in relation to the school remaining where it is until the Ogden location is secured secur-ed definitely Section 11 provides that the board of I directors might upon erecting new buildings reject all bids and do the work by day labor under its own direction di-rection Mr Morrison scented an opportunity op-portunity for a job here and offered a substitute for the section requiring that all such work be done by contract con-tract The substitute was adopted I After the bill was declared passed Mr Lewis save notice that he would at the proper time move to reconsider I the vote His purpose is to meet Mr Crltchlows objection and properly amend the title The bill provides in full for the management man-agement of the school by a governing board who have charge of all matters pertaining to its conduct and to carry out the provisions of the measure 6000 is appropriated THE STATE FURNISHES THEM S J R No3 was read the third time and passed without opposition As it
