Senator Polttgrow of South Dakota was nsked today by TUB BKC correspondent what be thought of the proposition of Governor Mcllettn tu call an extra session of tne legis lature in his state for the purpose of securing nn exhibit at the World's fair , together with the governor's effort to limit the proceedings of the extra session to action upon a bill pro viding thu exhibit. "I think the governor has mode a mistake , " said Senator 1'ettigivw , ' 'In his effort to plcdgo n. embers of the legislature in advance not to attempt any legislation further than that which will provide an exhibit lor the Btato at the World's lair. It looks" to me lilu n .proposition to com pel members of the legislature to curb their own inclinations even against the demands of their constituents , and it might create thu impression thnt ttio legislature could not bo trusted. "If 1 was the governor 1 would unhesitatingly convene Iho legis lature in special session and in my message to that body , after pointing out the wisdom of nn exhibit at the World's ' fair for the btatc , nrgo that no further action bo taken in any direction and then leave the work of the session to ttio legislature itself. If mem bers wanted to take the responsibility of going 'nto other legislation , I would lot them do it , for it would be their own business and tnoy would have to stand the responsibility.

I don't thlnlt the possibility of unwise action in other directions ut lliu hands of the legis lature bhquld cause the governor to U .sitatu a moment about the extra session , " Keprosontativo Plcklor was asked the same question propounded to Senator I'etti- Btovv and salu : "In the capacltv of a mem ber of congress I have , of course , nothing- say In regard to it. 1 wish the people of tlio state to take their own course.

General McDowell was Intro lucsd to present - sent tbo question to consider which the assemblage had gathered. Tno general gave a necessarily brief sketch of the events tbnt led to the formitur of this republic and the Inter nlimimition of human slivery as an American Institution , nnd touched on the cireumsinm-os that had sug gested the holding of a pan-republic congress composed of delegates from all the republics of the woild. The speaker paid n very pretty tribute to republics and their fet mot govern ment , which now obtains over 1UOU'.HI,000 of people. Ho thought that the only way to satisfactorily solve the emigration question was to give Iho emigrants republicanism at homo. Among the benefits to bo derived from such n congicss as pioposcd , was the know ledge that could bo gained of the experiences of ether republics. Switzerland's delegates could toll how that republic supported 1U in stitutions nnd govern input on u tax of - ' , " > cents per head instead of SI. If such a move had boon carried the recent trouble with Chili could not have occurred.

Ho wanted to know by what authority the work hail been done nnd urged his renucst for Information to the point of hnvliiL' n committee , consisting of Powell , Elgutlor nnd Wohrer , appointed to Investigate the matter. But tint wasn't nil of the Kolloni business before thu board. Just before adjournment David I , Hayden presented an nflldavlt In which he alleged that , detective material had hern mod in the flooring of thcKellom school nnd thnt the .spccillcations had not been com piled with. Ho charged Superintendent of Buildings Hamilton with being nwnro ol Iho lalluro of the con'ractnrs to perform their duty. 1 his nflldavit was referred to the commit tee on buildings nnd property.

There was n lot of eloquence wasted over the proposition to remove the telephones Irom'ti number of the school buildings. The committco on supplies reported in favor of keeping Iho 'phones now in use , the tele phone company offering lo reduce the pricoof telephones one-half during the vacation niontti'- . Some members of the board wanted 'phones in nil of the sUiool buildings , and 'others wanted thorn taken out altogether. It was llnallv decided to instruct the beoretnry and the principals of the various schools to keep a record ot the calls maao on each telephone - phone for a month , showing the purpose for which the 'phono was used , In order to ascer tain ot just what vuluo the 'phonos are to ttio schools.
