LaCROSSE, WIS. n
House Votes to Oust Mann.
The concurrent resolution providing
for the discharge of George R. Mann
as architect of the new state capltol,
introduced in the House, was adopted
by that body after a strenuous fight
which lasted throughout the entire
day. The adoption of the resolution
by a vote of 46 to 42 closed the hard
est fought battle the House has seen
this session, a battle which was won,
practically all legislators conceded, by
the individual efforts of one man, Rep
resentative Tillman B. Parks of La
fayette, the only man who spoke in
favor of the resolution from the time
it was introduced until the final vote
was taken and who spoke for forty
minutes, closing the debate.
Old and tried members of the House
who have witnessed many battles on
the floor of the north chamber esti
mated that there were not 20 votes
in favor of Mr. Parks’ resolution when
he took the floor. The same men did
not hesitate in saying that the re
mainder of votes, or the other 26,
were brought over to the resolution
by the author of the measure in his
closing appeal.
Mr. Parks denounced Mr. Mann and
declared that he had been for the in
terests of Caldwell & Drake against
those of the state throughout the en
tire history of the capitol. He urged
that the House choose the state in a
nuestion of defending either the state
or the man. He attacked the argu
ment that Mr. Mann had a good bond
by declaring that a good bond did not
count for much in litigation. He de
clared that he believed the resolution
would hold good and ridiculed those
who would keep Mr. Mann rather than
have a lawsuit.
He spoke in a quiet, matter-of-fact
manner during the greater part of his
speech. It was seen at the start that
he intended to fight with matter-of
fact argument, and not by resorting
to eloquence. He went over the mat
ter from start to finish, replying to
the argument of each man who had
opposed him, and when he concluded
be was given the only ovation given
any of the speakers at the close of
their speeches.
The close attention paid Mr. Parks
during his speech and the ovation at
the close appeared significant to the
spectators who filled the gallery and
lobby throughout the afternoon. The
significance developed when the roll
call started, and long before the clerk
had reached the middle of the roll call
it was seen that the speech of Mr.
Parks had brought about a decided
change in the situation.
House Disapproves Proposed Changes
Two measures of statewide import
ance wrere defeated in the House Wed
nesday, but not until after a vigorous
defense of each. One was the meas
ure by Mr. Cartwright of Stone
County providing for the general dis
tribution of the common tax levied
upon railroads; the other was a bill
by Mr. Hurst of Washington providing
for the right of cities and incorporated
towns to use within their respective
corporate limits four-fifths of the
road tax levied in the city, and the re
maining one-fourth to be expended
in the same township as that in which
the town or city is located.
Mr. Hurst spoke in defense of the
bill urged that the original intent
of the present law was to effect just
what he intended to have his bill
secure, but that owing to a laxnesss of
the provisions of the law the county
judges could, and, in many instances,
he declared, did defeat the purpose of
the law by expending funds raised in
one township in some other township
and generally transferring road tax
funds where they pleased.
On a final vote, the resolution lost,
but the vote was much closer than
would have evidently been the case,
had the measure been pressed to a
vote a week ago, at which time it
would almost certainly have been
overwhelmingly voted down. It had
gained considerable favor during the
past few da/s.
Greaves-Sumpter Cctest.
Mr. Little of Mississippi introduced
a resolution calling for an investiga
tion of the Greaves-Sumpter contest,
regardless of party lines 1 he resolu
tion was tabled after considerable dis
cussion, some members being of the
impression that the resolution would
be an infringement on Senate prerog
atives.
Another resolution of importance
was that by Mr. Simpson of Scott
asking the legislature to memorialize
Congress for a return to this state of
royalties collected on Arkansas cotton
during the reconstruction period. Mr.
Simpson says there is a sum of not
less than $65,000 due the state on
this score, and he wants to see it
given to the old Confederate soldiers
of the state.
Senator White introduced by re
quest Senate Bill No. 172, a bill to
establish a state game warden system
in Arkansas, making the governor ex
officio game warden with power to
appoint a state deputy, who in turn
shall appoint county deputies, the lat
ter to receive une-haif oi fines collect
ed, and establishing a license of $15
for non-resident hunters. Referred to
committee on agriculture.
A bill providing for the establish
ment of a school at wh.ch cotton tex
tile manufacturing will he taught will
probably be introduced in the house
within the next two weeks. T. F.
Hutchinson, one of the best-known cot
ton men in the state, has investigated
the matter and with the data he has
in hand declares that it is practicable.
Such an institution was established in
Mississippi by that state at a very lit
tle cost. All of the machinery was
furnished grat's, the various manu
facturers being more than glad to in
stall their equipment in a state plant

Legislative Gossip
Mrs. George H. Trevathan arrived
from Fayetteville and will probably
be in the city a week. Her husband
is secretary of the Senate.
During the adjournment of last
Wednesday and Thursday many of
the senators spent their spare time in
the House, where they are directly
interested in a number of measures.
Mrs. John Quill of Mobile, Ala., who
has been the guest of her niece, Mrs.
A. H. Mitchell, enrolling clerk of the
Senate, at the Hotel Marion, has re
turned to her home.
‘Slaunehendicular”—whatever that
means—-was the term used by a mem
ber of the House one morning in de
scribing the route of a railroad
through his county. It brought down
the house.
Mr. Dunaway, chief janitor of the
Senate, may be termed a “crank” on
fumigation. If any germs of disease
ever get into the Senate chamber, it
is not probable they get out alive. He
sprayed the room the other day with a
solution of formaldehyde.
The desk of the late Senator Nance
of Benton has been draped in crepe
and the chair tilted forward against
the desk. Everything about the desk
in the way of books and papers has
been arranged in orderly manner, and
the desk will probably remain so un
til his successor is seated.
L. M. Emerson, manager of the
England Telephone Company; J. A.
Bed, manager of the Bell Telephone
Company of Lonoke, and W. H. Bel
lamy, of the Altheimer Telephone Com
pany. were in the city a few days ago
attending a meeting of the Senate
committee which was considering the
Winn telephone bill. The bill reduces
the rate on telephone in Little Rock.
President Martin says it is bv no
means a “snap” to preside over a
body where each member is well in
formed on the rules of debate. There
has been but one appeal to the Sen
ate from the ruling of the chair and
in that the chair was sustained. The
president feels that if he was not giv
ing general satisfaction he would
have soon found it out by appeals to
the Senate.
Senator Keel recently made one or
those absent treatment trades in hats,
and now he wants to trade back. In
the committee room recently some
body took his hat, which was pur
chased at Rudolph’s and having the
letter “K" on the inside band, leav
ing in its stead one which was pur
chased at Kahn’s. He asks that the
party now wearing his headgear ex
change once again.
A bill appropriating $2,000 to be
used in the advancement of the har
bor, river and waterway movement
throughout the country has been pre
pared, as the result of the recent visit
of , John A. Fox of Blytheville, promi
nently connected with the waterway
movement, and will be introduced in
the legislature soon The bill will
probably be introduced in the House
ty Mr. DuLaney of Little River and
in the Senate by Senator Pindall.
The judiciary committee of the Sen
ate met and considered several bills,
among them Senator Logan’s bill, by
leqeust, extending the time which the
railways of the state were allowed by
the act of 1907 to equip their locomo
tives with electric headlights. The
bill met with opposition at the ime it
was introduced, it being claimed by
Senator Wingo that the act would
throw out of courts all cases now
pending for failure to conform to the
late law. The committee reported that
the bill do not pass, it being the opin
ion that the legislature should not
pass a bill which interfered with the
workings of a previous law, unless it
was to repeal or amend.
Clerk Swaim of the penitentiary
committee has just prepared an inter
esting and valuable account of the re
cent trip of the committee to he
state farm. His report is in narra
tive form, telling what the committee

there are four stockades on the farm,
located about three miles apart, the

coavicts are suffering with pneumonia,
two dying while the committee was
there; that the convicts all state that
they are being well clothed and fed
and treated in a humane manner; that
the state has on the farm 85 mules,
200 head of cattle 10 fine bloodhounds
and many hogs; there are 125 trusty

the same number of mules that are
now on hand, tlie state can cultivate
all the land that was cultivated in
l!m8, together with the 1,000 acres oi
sipe land and also 500 acres of new
ground; and there are 200 acres of
new ground ready for the plow now.
The bankers of Arkansas are asking
the defeat of the postal savings bank
bill in the national congress.
Mr. Winn of Pulaski, author ol
House Bill No. 57, went before the
Senate committee on railroads and
advanced an argument as to why the

Remarkable Thermometer.
Some curious thermometers were
made. Otto de Guericke, burgomaster
of Magdeburg, made one which was 20
feet long and gorgeous with blue paint
and gilt stars. It consisted of a large
globe fastened to a tube, both of cop
per. The tube was bent upon itself
to form a very narrow U, in which was
placed the requisite amount of alcohol.
One arm of the U was shorter than
the other and open at the top. On the
liquid was a float, to which was at
tached a cord passing over a pulley.
At the other end of this cord was hung
a gilt angel, its finger pointing to a
scale on which the degrees were
painted.
