The deadlock will be broken this week, in the opytiion of the sageB, or it will be fastened more securely cm the shoulders of the legislators as a daily program of an unvarying ballot until after M'areh 4 when the term of 8enator Albert J. Hopkins expires by limitation. In addition to the senatorial compli­ cation there are other activities which promise to furnish excitement for the legislators as well as plenty of hard work for those whose duty it is. to keep the wheels of legislative activity moving. The wheels began to whirl Tuesday morning with the meeting . of the judicial apportionment committee which was held at 9 o'clock, before the regular session of the houpe. There are a number of-bills already in the house and senate seeking changes in the judicial districts and scarcely a county in the state is uninterested in the result. . On the Democratic side of the house the nrincipal change asked is an in­ crease in the number of judges in each of the present seventeen circuits from three, the present quota, te four. Another bill seeks to reduce the num­ ber of judicial circuits from 17 to 16. A bill which is presented from the Republican ranks asks that the cir> cuits be increased to 25. With these diverse propositions be­ fore them, the judicial apportionment committee members had a hard .task to wrestle with. Democrats Are DiMatisfiad^ , , Neither faction on the Democratic side of the house is satisfied with its assignments on the two house commit­ tees that were announced Thursday by Speaker Shurtieff. The speaker failed to follow the suggestions made by Minority Leader Browne relative to the assignments to be given the mem­ bers of the Tippit faction and the "Tippits" are displeased because In their opinion they were not given rec­ ognition proportionate to their strength. f • The personnel of (he tiro commit­ tees as named by Speaker Shurtieff 16 as follows: Appropriations--Shannhan, chairman; fimejkal, Glade, Dudgeon, Klttelman, Keck, Zlnjfer, Kirkpatrlolt* - McMaekin, Behrens, Sollit, Campbell, Adkins, Hamil­ ton, Lawrence, Fulton, Pervter, Parker, Lewis, York, Ireland, Gillespie, Price, Zlpf, Grace, Terrill, Burgrett, Stavmatea, McLaughlin, Cermak, Murray, Allison, English.

A. Shepherd. Twenty-Seventh Ballot Fruitless. One additional ballot--'the twenty- seventh to date--taken at noon Thurs­ day In joint session of ' the two branches of the general assembly, found the deadlock on the senatorship as firm as ever. The twenty-seventh joint ballot gave Hopkins, 71; Foss, 18: Mason, 3; Sktrtleff, 16; Calhoun, 1; Lowden, 1; McKinley, 1; Sherman, 2; Stringer (Dem.), 73. The Hopkins vote in dropping to reached the low-water mark. Several Hopkins men were paired, being ab­ sent. Counting the pairs, the senator gained one vote in Senator Funk of Blomington, who came back to him on this ballot^ Funk has been Voting for W. J. Calhoun. ^ Does Not Pear Oppone»llfc',,^;>J|;^; "I have heard so many discouraging » tilings about the spirit of unity on the part of the ministecs there that I hesitated about going, but on the strength of your wire that everything was O.

A $50,00f.v\jO coal deal, which con­ template the consolidation of prac- ' tically #11 of the Illinois coal mines in * rtaUaa of 50 miles of St. Louis is on the verge of consummation. Opera­ tors of the mines, who gave options on them two years ago to Walter J. Hol- brook of the Holbrook-Blackwelder Real Estate Trust Company, were noti­ fied February 1 that Mr. Holbrook in- >4, tends to exercise his options. The lift! consolidation was not completed at ^ the time it was first undertaken on ac- flnfiflcia) dgpreaatpa. Discord in Democratic Ranks. Discori in the Democratic minority which from the first day of the session has divided the followers of Minority Leader Lee O'Neil Browne from those who fight under the standard of Thomas Tippit, representative from OIney has been accentuated by the events of last week. Neither ot the democratic factions Is satisfied with the committee appointments made by Speaker Shurtieff. Minority Leader Browne submitted a list of repre<*«ata- tives to the speaker to be named as minority representatives on the appro­ priation^ and the judicial apportion­ ment committees. The list did not suit the followers: of Mr. Tippitt in the individuals assigned to the several committees. Instead of appointing the men named In the Browne list Speaker Shurtieff gave the places to other men on the Tippitt list without changing the numerical proportion. This did not please Mr. Browne and he was not slow to express his disapproval, taking the position that as minority leader his selections should have been ap­ proved. The Tijppitt men were ag­ grieved because they did not receive a greater number of places on the committees. No open declaration of war was made by the Democratic forces against the Shurtieff organiza­ tion, but the signs of trouble are many and in the opiliiofc Of ob­ servers may have aa effectoftthe senatorial deadlock. House Takes Up Gubernatorial Probe. The house took up the gubernatorial contest Tuesday and considered the res­ olution offered last Wednesday seeking the appointment of a committee of nine members of the house and nine senators to look into the petition for a recount of the ballots for governor and decide the future course of the contest From the agreement of the Demo­ cratic leaders, who are behind the re­ count proposition, to submit the case to a committee composed of an equal number of senators and house mem­ bers many are inclined to the opinion that the disposition to press the re­ count vigorously has been abandoned and that the friends of Adlai E. Stev­ enson have given up hope of unseating Gov. Deneen. No hint of a relaxation of their energies is manifest in the words of those who prepared the reso­ lution for a committee. Gov. Deneen adheres to Ids original position that he is ready and willing to abide by a fair recount and will not seek the aid of technicalities to obstruct it. One of the things which the governor and his friends insist on is that the integrity of the ballots which are recounted shall be definitely shown, and so that there may be no possibility of ballots which have been tampered with being recounted. Storm Cloud Over Deep Channel. The first meeting of the deep water­ way committee in the senate chamber indicated that the work before the body offers a storm center rivaling or eclipsing the possibilities of the sen­ ate committee on charitable, penal and reformatory institutions. The commit­ tee convened at the call Of its chair­ man, Senator Frank P.- Schmitt of Chicago. 1 The distrust df former times regard- : "ing the attitude, rights and 'expecta­ tions of the sanitary district of Chi­ cago in its relations to the proposed $20,000,000 waterway was made mani­ fest at. the start, and was resented- by some Chicago members of the com­ mittee. Lines of peaceful action,- and ob­ livion of personal aims and ends were advocated by Senator Clark of Chi­ cago, and the committee slid safely by its first snag in the shape of action proposed by Senator Glackin provid­ ing that the members of the drainage board be invited to show the com­ mittee the points of interest along the drainage canal on a contemplated trip. On motion of Senator Juul, Chair­ man Schmitt and four other senators were constituted a committee to ar­ range for a trip over the drainage canal and such other territory as may be decided" upon. May Probe Wild Charset. " Legislative investigation of sensa­ tional charges contained in a confes­ sion made here by Florence Miller of a plot to ruin Lee O'Neil Browne of Oitawa, minority leader in the house, has been suggested. The woman bold­ ly accuses political enemies of Browne with having hired her to come to Springfield and make a scene in the hall of representatives calculated to besmirch the reputation of the Demo­ cratic leader. She made the scene. Both Brcwne and the Miller woman refused to give the names of the Chi­ cago politicians it is charged caused the woman to come here. Late developments In the Lm O'Neil Browne case have dissipated the confession of Florence Miller, who alleged she was sent here by Browne's political enemies to bring about his downfall in politics: Florence Miller is generally known in Springfield as Ellen Christie and has been In this city practically since the session of the legislature began. For One 8tate Board. J The committee on state charitable, penal and reformatory"" institutions met in the afternoon and listened to remarks from William C. Graves, sec­ retary of the state board of charities, with reference to the establishment and maintenance of state institutions. Mr. Graves declared for one board as the most desirable administrative system for charitable, penal and re­ formatory institutions so far as busi­ ness economy1 and efficiency are con­ cerned, and later, under direct ques- xaa&|£emoa| ia 4eeirable. 8oIons Adjourn Until Tuesday. The senate was disposed to follow its former program and adjourn until next Tuesday, but the liouse refused to concur in a joint resolution ad­ journing from Thursday until Tuesday and {hereby upset, in a measure the senate's plans. After conferring vylth the leaders ia the senate the house amended the joint resolution so as to provide an adjournment from Friday until Tuesday, and the change was approve* by tbe senate. ,, N E W S o r I L L I N O I S Crete.--The Crete State bank is in the hands of a receiver, William H.
