(From Stuff Carre spondnt.)
tf.8 MOINES, March .Bpn lal.)-The
lrrl!at1vf sfsalon In not Ilkrly l, cldp
for nearly two rks. though It Is adnilltnl
that but very llttla real work Is being ac
complished at th present tlmr. The bills
that will receive serious consideration have
nearly all been threshed out In cmrunlttre,
and It la found, that In tho matter of verv
Important legislation there la but little li
bf done. The appropriations bills will wait
until a date In fixed for th close of tin
session, when they will be rushed through.
All that remaina to do on those bills la to
deride what shall be the sums given the
eollegea, aa all the Institutions hill a to
completed. The date for adjournment may
be aet before the close of (his week, but It
may be delayed.
Aa tha end approaches there Is more anl
mora Interest In the appointments of Oov
trtiw Carroll on the Board of Education
Ha will certainly algn the bill, though ef
fort ha been made on behalf of various
Jntereata to have him withhold his ap
proval. Aa soon aa he signs the bill he
will be In duty bound to name the mem
ber of the board. This la an entirely new
board. It will ' constat of nine members.
On thta board there will be one alumnus
of the university, one of the college ant'
one of the Normal. There cannot be oth
er representing theee colleges.' The board
of nine will have an office at the capital
and will meet at once to organlie to-control
and direct the affairs of the three col
lege. Its first duty will be to elaet a
finance or managing committee of three
persona, which committee will have direct
personal supervision of the colleges. One
of the smaller committee must live at
each one of th three Institutions. Office
will be maintained at each Institution. The
general board wtll elect all the peranns
connected with the institutions and decide
upon all expenditures of every kind; will
also pass upon the general policy of the
Institutions and arrange the courses of
study. The finance committee will look
after the expenditures In detail, supervise
the budding operations and generally
handle the detail business of the Institu
tiona. The member of the finance com
mittee will be on pay . of 13,000 a year. A
secretary will get B.000 a year. There la
as yet no possibility of making up a slate
for the members of the board, and perhaps
a hundred names will be considered by the
governor. It Is supposed that the board
will be picked largely from the member
ship of the present boards, which are abol
ished, but this may not be done.
The Traablea Over Patroaaie.
The patronage troubles of the new ad
ministration are becoming somewhat em
barrassing. There was the usual and
customary pressure brought to have a
complete change and to turn all cut who
were In. so that the outsiders might liavo
a chance, and so far aa thla can be done
In regular order it will he done. But
there wan alao a demand for forcible
ejection of aome persons. The start was
made on the pharmacy board, but an ob
stacle was found In the fact that there
Is no way pf summarjly. removing a atate
official having a fixed term and hold
ing a commission for the full term. Gov
ernor Carroll has therefore turned the
matter over (to Attorney General Byoiv.
In the meantime the probing having com
menced and some things being found
that are not very pleasant, the work la
going on and a committee of the legis
lature Is now at work making Investiga
tion aa to the use of various funds of
the atate In the last few years. It in
ftated that before the close of the aesalon
aome Important mattera will be disclosed, j
rrunmuiy 1 01 iccung . on some nigli offl
clala. In the meantime patronxge mat
tara will wait until after the cloae of
the legislature.
fttatas of Prohlbltloa.
The atatua of the prohibitory amend
ment at thla time Is hard to state. ?'he
resolution passed the house and la In the
hands of the proper aenate committee for
consideration. It la an open aecret that
a majority of the members of the com
mittee believe that the amendment ought
not to be passed up to the people to be
come a disturbing factor In atate affairs.
It la alao known that a majority of tli
members of the aenate are of the .-ante
opinion. But It Is also known that a
great majority of the Semite feel that
It la a political necessity with each one
to vote for the amendment if It come?
to a vote on the floor, or. In other worda,
the members . fear the effect of voting
against the . amendment because of the
threats of the prohibitionists as to in
vent;, at the polla. The committee heard
the well-recognized prohibition agitators,
who are, of courae, very zealous for the
amendment of the constitution, and It
ha also heard orators Interested in the
opposite side, but It Is now proposed to
hoar from the business and professional
men of the state. Thta may cause aome
delay In action. While there la confi
dence expreaaed on both aides. It heems
reaaonable to anticipate that In some y
the movement for forcing a vote on an
amendment will be headed off In thla
legislature.

Th hotel men of the state are making
etrenuouk efforts to Indues Governor t ar
roll to veto a bill whlcii he has before him
for signature. This Is the bill to require
safety devices, fire emapos and flit proof
construction In hotels, and to provide a
hotel Inspector whose duty It shall be to
lnaert hotels and enforce compliance with
the law. They claim that the bill ia ex

Dahlman Makes
Address to
Italian Voters
Sons of Land of Sunshine Weep as He
Pictures Ingratitude of
Berryman.
The Dahlman club rooms, those hallowed
apartment locally known as "Dead Mm
Reef," because so many schooners have
there come to grief, were the sene last
night rf another spiritual uplift, the occa
sion being a meeting for the benefit of
those Italiana of the city who sit at the
feet of the Jims snd learn of Dnhlmsn.
King Manardi was not In evidence, but
his viceroy, Joe Cesto, sat In the chair,
wllh Tom Flynn behind hint aa the power
behind the throne, to give aid and comfort
at the proper moment. Cesto Introduced
the speakers In Italian and also gave the
crowd the cue aa to the right time to ap
plaud. Once or twice they made a mis
take and applauded nt the wrong time, but
that was a mere incident and was readily
forgiven..
Pathos and patriotism were the keynotes
of the speeches. An American flag was
draped In a prominent plaoe and whenever
the applause began to run low some refer
ence would be made to Its silken folds and
the desired result was always forthcoming.
But the pathos waa the real thing. Mayor
Dahlman came up with a suit case full of
It and when he unlonded It In his speech
against Berryman It mads strong men
weep. He spoke of Ingratitude, tho marble
herted fiend, the apotheosis of all that
Is 1 w and vile; the sin of all sins, so black
that all the seven mortal sins boiled down
into one black drop would leave a white
irark beside Its stain.
He told with tears In his voles of how
he had taken Berryman up In hia arms, so
to speak, hid given him his political life,
of how In a political way he had bv"n
mother and father, even mother-in-law to
him, and now now, when Berryman has
guwn up to be almost a man, and Dahl
man hid made him president of the Park
board, he turns and stings his partv parent.
The thought was too much, the mayor
wept, the audience wept, a stray d'.g under
a table howled dismally, even the pictures
on the walls sobbed, outside the wild wind
howled and the atmosphere became to
humid It soured the milk in the refrigerator
of a family In the next building.
The strain was too great to be endured
snd when the mayor recovered his voice
and brought his speech to a climax with
the assertion that Berryman Is a "little
sucker" and hla two principal supporters
are "two country. cheap-John lawyers,"
there was a shout which was like the sound
of many waters. f '
There were many other speakers. Some
ergued, some ranted and some Just talked,
but when It came to putting on the soft
pedal and holding It there, aa Horatio hold
the bridge, the mayor had them all backed
off the board and calling for help.
