12 IRK OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE 'DEMURRAGE BILL IS RECOMMENDED Senate Places Amendment to W. A. Nolan Measure on General Orders The compromise demurrage bill rec nnmended by the senate committee on railroads, In place of the W. A. Nolan bill, was reported out yesterday morn- Ing by Senator Hawkins, chairman of Hi. committee, who moved that the bill be printed and placed on general or ders. Senators Cole and Thompson wanted the Nolan bill printed and placed. on general orders, but Senators Hawkins and Lord opposed this, as the commit tee'a bill was the only measure on the subject before the senate. The bill requires railroads to furnish < ;;rs within a reasonable time nfter tiny are ordered by shippers, to start them from the place of shipment within a reasonable time and move them to their destination with reasonable speed. It requires shippers to load and unload the cars with reasonable dispatch. It is made the duty of the railroad and warehouse commission to investi gate all charges of unreasonable delay in furnishing cars, of unreasonable or unequal demurrage charges, or unjust discrimination in the furnishing of cave, and to do substantial justice be tween the shipper and the railway companies. All charges for demurrage, car rental and trackage made by any railroad company must be just and rea sonable and fixed by printed tariffs published and filed with the railroad and warehouse commission. The amendments were adopted and the bill placed on general orders. HORTON PUSHES POLITICAL BILL Urges Measure to Make Assessorship of Ramsey County Elective Senator Horton confessed yesterday before the Benate that the Republicans could not elect a mayor in St. Paul, and advanced that fact as an argument in behalf of the Lemon bill, to make the office of coanty assessor elective in sicad of appointive by the mayor and county auditor. For the first time during the present session of the legislature the Ramsey county senatorial delegation disagreed. The Lemon measure applies only to Ramsey county. The Ramsey delega tion submitted a majority report re commending the bill for passage. Thereupon Senator Hardy arose and moved as a substitute that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Senator Horton explained the situa tion to the senators. "This is the first time the Ramsey delegation has been divided," said the senator. "The difference in opinion is purely political and in no sense per sonal. At present the county assessor of Ramsey county is appointed by the mayor of St. Paul and the county au ditor, and as the mayor is inevitably a Democrat, no change in the Democratic complexion of the assessor's office can be hoped for. That's why the Repub licans want the office of county assessor made elective." After this frank confession of the Republican policies of the bill, the sen ate defeated "Senator Hardy's motion to indefinitely postpone it and adopted the Ramsey delegation's report by phi ting the bill on general orders. l_rave Trading Stamps Alone Th>- legislature will not interfere with the trading stamp business. The house judiciary committee yesterday recom in. nd^d for indefinite postponement \V. I. Nolan's bill to regulate the business of.the ttiimj) people. auHUuH Strawberries! Strawberries!

DISCUSS INSURANCE COMMISSIONER'S PAY Senators Refuse to Concur In House Amendments—Com mittee Appointed The senate refused yesterday to con cur with the house in its amendment to the bill by Senator Cole, fixing the salary of the insurance commissioner at $4,500 a year, until the year 1907, when the salary is to be only $3,500 a year for that and subsequent years. * The amendment reducing the pay to $3,500 at the expiration of Commis sioner O'Brien's term of office dis pleased some of the senators. Senator Schutz exclaimed: "Why cut down the salary after O'Brien's term expires. It looks like putting a premium on Democrats in office." Senator McGill spoke in behalf of Commissioner O'Brien, who, he de clared, had virtually evolved the bill by voluntarily turning the fees of the office, amounting to $15,000 a year, over to the state. Mr. O'Brien, the Ramsey senator declared, was a man of unusual ability, and should be paid a salary of $4,500 a year in recognition of his service to the state. Senator Putnam moved a reconsid eration of the vote by which the sen ate had concurred in the house amend ment. This motion prevailing, the sen ate voted not to concur, and decided to appoint a conference committee to meet with a like committee of the house and agree upon a measure satis factory to both. Senators Putnam, Cole and Johnson were named by the chair to represent the senate on the committee. Fitzpatrick Defeats Hugo Bill Senator Fitzpatrick's eloquent oppo sition, to the Hugo bill, providing for the adoption of the abandoned children and unfortunate women, coming into the custody of an incorporated bethel society, sufficed to kill the measure. The vote stood 15 ayes and 27 nays. Senator Fitzpatrick declared the measure the worst that had come be fore the senate for a long time. No senator had ventured to defend the bill. True, the St. Louis senators had spoken of the good intentions behind the bill, but what of that. It was well known that a certain undesirable place was paved with good intentions. The bill, Senator Fitzpatrick declared, gave the Bethel society the powers of the court, the powers of a parent and the powers of the state over the child. Senator Fitzpatrick appealed to the paternal instinct in the bosoms of the senators, urging them not to enact a law that would give a society the power to take a child away from its mother forever. He reminded the Duluth sen ators that he had stood by all their other bills, notably the one designed to equip Duluth with a "toy navy." On the roll call Senator Calhoun of Minneapolis voted against the bill, ex plaining his vote with so much earn estness that President Jones reminded him that he had a right to explain his vote, but not to present at such time an argument on the bill. The bill failed to pass, receiving only 15 votes, with 27 against it. Saves Fish Hatchery Bill S< nator Frater saved his bill to es tablish a third fish hatchery at Deer wood from indefinite postponement, as recommended by the committee on game and fish laws. Senator Frater moved as a substitute that the bill be placed on- general orders, and was sus tained by a vote of 19 to 16. The bill appropriates $20,000 for the hatchery. $5,000 to be available July 1, 1905, and $15,000 July 1, 1906. Senator Johnson tried to recall his personal injury bill from the judiciary committee, but failed, his motion be ing defeated by a vote of 19 to 7. The bill throws the burden of proof on rail roads in actions for damages for per sonal injuries. Another futile attempt was made to pass Senator Dunn's bill providing for the publication prior to election of pro posed constitutional amendments, once in all the leg^al papers of every county. It was admitted that such a law would increase the expense to the state from $9,000 to 135,000, as the present law requires the publication of such pro posed amendments three times in oniy one legal paper in each county. The bill received but 27 votes to 13 against it, lacking 6 of the necessary number to pass any bill. The senate adjourned until 10 a. m. today. Passed by Senate H. F. No. 667: By Lemon—Limiting the rate of interest to 8 per cent on certifi cates of sale of real property for local im provement assessments. H. F. No. 600: By Flower—Allowing cities of 50,000 and over to issue bonds for $150,000 to construct bridges over nav igable streams. H. F.

AUTHORIZES ISSUE OF SNELLING BRIDGE BONDS Senate Passes House Bill Enabling St. Paul to Raise the Funds Representative M. D. Flower's bill authorizing the issue of $150,000 worth of bonds to construct .a bridge across the Mississippi river at Fort Snelling was passed by the senate yesterday un der suspension of the rules, on motion of Senator Horton. The bill empowers St. Paul's com mon council to issue such bonds by a three-fourths vote. LEGISLATURE WOULD REWARD REPORTERS Resolutions Carrying Appropriations In troduced In Senate and House Resolutions have made their appearance in both houses of the legislature provid ing for compensation for newspaper re porters who have covered the session. In the house the resolution carries an ap propriation of $150 for each reporter. The senate resolution provides similar amounts for the reporters there. The rules com mittee has the house resolution and tho legislative expense committee the senate resolution. A resolution by George W. Armstrong of Hennepin. introduced in the house yes terday provides for $25 additional com pensation for the house pages. It was re ferred to the rules committee. Similar reMoluticr.s will be introduced for the four telephone operators at ihe legislative chambers. THE ST. PAUL GLOBE.

AGREE ON NEW BILL House Members Favor Substl- tute for Vollmer Measure The house agreed yesterday to a com promise substitute for the Vollmer bill, repealing the law placing certain limita tions about the employment of convict labor In the state penal institutions. The substitute was agreed to by W. I. Nolan, chairman of the labor committee of the house; by Senator R. B. Brower and Rep resentative P. C. Lynch of St. Cloud and by Representatives John Zelch and H. B. \ ollmer of Stlllwater, representing the people in the prison towns. It limits the number of men employed in the St. Cloud reformatory and the Stillwater penitentiary to 10 per cent of the number employed In any industry now established In the state, but is not to apply to the brush factory at St. Cloud nor the twine plant, nor the proposed plant for the manufacture of binders, mowers and rakes at Stillwater. Men are to be employed at St. Cloud and Stillwa ter In any industry not now established in the state and which may be hereafter Inaugurated in the state prison. The fact that the board of control is said to have a rope factory In contemplation at Still water is said to be the reason for the last clause in the bill. The substitute Vollmer bill was put' through the house without opposition and goes to the senate for affirmative action. RACHIE'S FREAK BILL IS KILLED IN HOUSE Measure to Regulate Greek Letter So cieties Fails to Win Votes Fortty-nine representatives went on rec ord yesterday as favoring legislative pro hibition of membership by students of nor mal and high schools and the freshman class of the state university in Greek let ter societies. Ellas Rachle, of Lac gui Parle. who championed the bill, said he was disappointed at the result, but he be lieved the agitation of the question would be productive of beneficial results. Mr. Rachie was given a reminder of his own practice when a member moved the previ ous question and prevented him from making an extended speech for his bill. As 60 votes are required for the passage of a bill, the Rachte bill was put to sleep. A dozen members explained their vi... s either for or against the bill. Several of those who voted against the bill said they believed that secret societies in high schools had become a menace to the demo cracy of the schools, but they did not be lieve the question a proper matter for reg ulation by a legislature. FIGURES SHOW WORK OF SENATE AND HOUSE Despite its alleged Inactivity, the senate is shown by the records to have done its duty by the house thus far in the session. Ip to Wednesday night, the senate had passed 121 house bills and killed fifteen measures that came from the house. The house had passed seventy-three senate files and indefinitely postponed seventeen bills from the senate. The senate had 102 house files awaiting consideration, sixty three of the number having already been recommended to pass. The senate has .-nown a disposition to be careful in its work, and" had amended thirty-seven bills from the house, against only nineteen sen ate bills changed in the house before being passed. Express Tax Bill Passed The house yesterday passed the John son bill, requiring a 4 per cent tax on the gross earnings of express companies in Minnesota. The old law imposed a 6 per cent tax on the net 'earnings of the com panies. State Auditor Iverson is said to be responsible for the Johnson bill, which passed with little opposition and scarcely any debate. "I like to travel on the Burlington." Yes, people like to travel on the Burlington, because people like to be treated nicely, like to be satisfied. The Burlington has the reputa tion of caring - for the guests who travel upon its trains just a little better than the ordinary railroadand this reputation is admirably sustained. That's why you will enjoy your trip if you make sure your ticket reads over the Burlington. HF. R.THOMAS, .' City PasMaiar Aftnt, B tor. FIM Mi Rafcirt *t». I "***- Both Phones 1266. ''- - NEW CODE PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES Members Admit They Know Little off What It Contains The revised code makes nugatory a large part of the legislation of the pres ent legislature. The revision, as amended, was passed by both houses of the legislature yes terday, but not until damaging admis sions had been wrung from the lips of its sponsors. The code was passed amid scenes of disorder, and there was poor ly suppressed excitement. W, B. Anderson, chairman of the house judiciary committee, admitted in response to an Inqury from Burdette Thayer of Fillmore, that the code will have the effect of repealing the amend ments pasued at this session to laws of former sessions. The laws themselves are repealed by the enaction of the code and with them go the amendments upon which the house and senate have spent weeks of work. To a pointed inquiry by W. D. Wash burn Jr.. Mr. Anderson replied that his committee could not say for certain what was between the covers of the re vision. "Is the report of the conference com mittee simply left to the clerks to com plete and to make the changes in the code ordered by the conferees?" asked Mr. Washburn. There was no answer. "I am not opposed to giving street railway companies the right of eminent domain in cities and villages." Mr. Washburn added, "but it should come from the cities themselves and not from the legislature. I would like to ask if no member of this conference committee has gone over this bill to see whether the changes ordered have been made." No Member Knows There was no positive information forthcoming from the conferees, but an explanation was made that the change had been made by the senate in com mittee of the whole. The senate keeps in its Journal none of the proceedings of its work in committee of the whole, and not until the appointment of a committee to investigate was the in formation revealed that the change to the present law was made by the sen ate in committee of the whole. In the absence of this information, Mr. Washburn voted nay on the final passage of the code. Henry McColl of Ramsey was the only other member of the house to be recorded in the negative, though C. H. Block of Steams also voted no. but had his vote changed before the final announcement of the vote was made. The fight on the adoption of the code was on "the moment Chairman W. B. Anderson of the conference committee had made his report to the house. He asked that the report be accepted and the code be put on its immediate pas sage. Immediately there was a vigor ous protest to rushing the revision through the house without opportunity for consideration. Mr. Washburn said he desired to asTc that it lie over for a day, to be made a special order for Friday. Speaker Claque refused to recognize him to make the motion, holding that the rules were against the motion at this time. R. J. Wells, George W. Armstrong and M. L. Fos seen joined in the protest against too hasty action. Investigation Meant Defeat Chairman Anderson declared that to thresh out the code on the floor of the house meant its defeat at this session. He insisted on immediate action. Arm strong pleaded foY an opportunity to know what is in the code. J. G. Len non insisted that his Hennepin county colleague was out of order. The re port of the conference committee was adopted in the midst of the excitement. Then on the final passage of the bill the fight was renewed. M. L. Fosseen was intractable on the provi sions of the insurance laws in the re vision. He called attention to a con flict between the terms of the so-culled O'Brien insurance bill, recently passed by the house, and the code's chapter on the duties and responsibilities of the office of the state insurance commis sioner. Mr. Anderson, P. E. Dowling, W. P. Roberts and other friends of the re vision protested that there was no way out of the dilemma, for to attempt to amend the code at this late date would result in its defeat. It must be imme diately passed and enrolled or it would not become a law at this session. Mr. Anderson urged. Burdette Thayer asked a question, the answer to which staggered the lay men of the house. "I would like to ask the chairman of the judiciary committee," Mr. Thayer said, "If the laws of previous sessions amended by this legislature will not be repealed by the code when it goes into effect March 1, 1906?" "I think the gentleman Is right in his conclusions," Mr. Anderson replied, and as the house rtood aghast at the admission, he supplemented it by de claring that there was no other way. Then Mr. Washburn propounded his query as to the right of eminent do main. The unsatisfactory nature of the response caused him to ask an other question. "Has no member of this committee gone over this bill to see whether the changes have been made as ordered?" he asked, and while members of the judiciary committee looked at each other they admitted that none had. The work had been left to the clerks. Mr. Fosseen, despite his protest against the inconsistency of the in surance chapter, voted for the bill, but Mr. Washburn, after insisting that ac tion should be delayed at least one day. voted against the bill. He and Henry McColl were the only members of the house who refused to swallow the un palatable dose, though several other members refrained from voting until forced to do so by the speaker. The doors were locked when 113 of the 119 members had been secured on a call of the house. Sherman S. S. Smith voted yes for the purpose of offering a recon sideration. J. G. Lund of Hennepin and L. O. Teigen of Jackson declined to vote, but other members found them out and insisted that the speaker re quire them to vote. Both voted aye, but under protest- Try to Clinch Passage The final vote on the revision was followed immediately by a motion by W. B. Anderson to reconsider the vote, to clinch the passage of the code. Strenuous objection was offered to this suggestion. Sherman Smith declared that he wanted a day to as certain the status of the street railway legislation. M. J. O'Laughlin protested that the country members did not want to force something on the cities that they did not want in the right of emi nent domain. W. P. Roberts shouted advice to the members to "quit fool ing." and moved the previous question. Smith declared that if the judiciary committeemen could not tell what was in their code he wanted It referred back to them. James R. Hlckey ex pressed the fear that the senate had not struck out the objectionable fea ture relating to street railways. Mr. Anderson forced the vote on his mo tion to reconsider, and while no record was kept of the vote, some ten mem bers were counted in the affirmative.

The house passed the two bills in troduced in the senate by the senate judiciary committee relating to the publication, circulation and editing of the revision. One bill vests the copy right of the code in the state and pro vides that It shall be printed by con tract awarded by a commission con sisting of treasurer, auditor and secre tary of state. Not more than 1,000 copies to be printed for the use of public officers in the state, and $10,000 is appropriated to defray the expense of the printing. The bill fixes $5 as the maximum price at which copies may be sold. LJ H. Johnson of Hen nepin protested that the price is ex orbitant and offered an amendment fixing the maximum at $4. It was re jected by the house. A second bill names Mark B. Dunnell to annotate and edit the revision. He is given $3,500 for the work, with $1,500 for his expenses. CODE AS AMENDED PASSED BY SENATE The senate repassed thp revised code yesterday as amended by the joint con ference committee. The chief amend ment is that providing that the code shall not take effect until March 1, 1906, instead of Dec. 1, 1905, as origin ally provided. The code, which now awaits the gov ernor's signature, contains three im portant changes, as compared with the document submitted to the legislature by the revision commission. The house rectified the omission of the drainage laws by supplying a chapter regulating that department. The senate inserted a chapter regulat ing game and fish, and restored the Somerville law providing for the taxa tion of foreign corporations. Only three votes were recorded against the code. Senators Hardy, Laybourn and McNamee voting "no." Those voting in the affirmative were: Alley, Barker, Batz. Benson. Brower, Buck, Calhoun. Campbell, Cole. Coller, Collester, Comstock. Cooke. Cowan.

HOUSE IS OPPOSED TO STEERING COMMITTEES W. I. Nolan's Resolution Meets Quick Death in Lower Branch When it Wiled W. I. Nolan's resolution for a steering committee to guide impor tant legislation in the closing days of the session, the house yesterday served notice that it is as large as any of it? members. There were few supporters for the reso lution. Ward Stone effectively killed off the Lennon resolution, protesting against the hiring of a "foreign" band to play at the next state fair. Air. Stone sent up a resolution "Joshing" the suggestion by condemning people of the state who did not confine their diet to Minnesota foods, liquids and clothing. The house tabled both the Lennon and Stone resolutions. Announcement The side path commission gives notice that all persons found riding bicycles after May 1 without tags for 1905 will be arrested and fined to the full extent of the law under the city ordinance. The Ctty Clerk has the tags now. The tags are fifty cents. Ramsland Mineral Bill Passes With but eight negative votes, O. T. Ramsland of Renville put through the house yesterday his bill to prohibit the leasing of state mineral lands. The intent cf the bill is to withdraw the mineral properties of the state from contract and lease until a report is received from the commission named by the legislature, with recommendations as« to future disposal of the properties. The votes against the Ramsland bill were mostly from St. Louis and adjoining counties. it Bt^J • w Act Quick When It Comes! CURATIVE ACT FAILS Armstrong Is Unable to Ad vance It to Calendar Not more than twenty-five members of the house stood with O. W. Armstrong of Hennepin yesterday when he tried un successfully to advance to the calendar his bill to legalise the acts of tin- state auditor in making settlements for timber trespas _ B. H. Jefferson, of Cottonwood. broke in to mak'- a spirited speech against any merit in the Armstrong bill, but he was shut off before he had concluded by A I. Cole, who raised ;i point of order against him. M. J. O'Laughlin, who was in the chair held that the point of order was well taken. Mr. Jeffers )n said that the particular case sought to be covered by the Arm strong bill was one brought* before the public accounts committed and for which legalising acts were asked. He * that there was no evidence to prove that the former governor or the state treas urer had authorized an extension of the permit. It was admitted that the Umber board had no authority to extend the lift tmiber permit, but now curative acts le galizing trespass amounting to $.">:' coo wm ask. ■,!.
