SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM HITS AT THE _ PRIMARY LAW Senator Cook Would Amend } Present Statute, FIFTY PER GENT VOTE NEEDED Measure Designed to Keep Members { of Each Party in Their Own Meet- | Ings—Working Women May Receive | More Attention—Proposed That Old Soldiers and Sailors Shall Ride on Passes. ! St. Paul, Jan: 28.—If 50 per cent of the voters of a party were needed to nominate a candidate at the primaries this requirement ought to tend to keep members of each party in his own meeting. This is the idea of Senator L. 0. Cook of Kellogg, who introduced a bill in the senate amending the pres- ent primary law. Additional attention will be given to the working women of the state if a bill by Senator H. H. Witherstine of Rochester becomes a law. His measure provides that a woman as- sistant labor commissioner be appoint- ed by the head of that department, with authority to appoint inspectors to look after the condition of restau- rants and other places where women ‘work. Two bills by Senator Sundberg of Kennedy appeared at the request of the railway and warechouse commis- slon. One provides that grain must be dellvered when the owner asks it, and the other specifies the kind of re- ceipt which shall be issued. . Old soldiers will ride on passes if the bill of S. D. Hall of Buffalo Lake becomes a law. He would amend the enti-pass law so that old soldiers, saflors and marines are exempt from its provisions. Four National Guard Bills. Following the suggestions of Adju- tant General Wood in his report to the governor Senator Hardy has in- troduced four bills relating to the na- tional guard. One Dbill permits the state to join with cities in equipping and maintaining armories for the na- tlonal guard, another perferts the or- ganization in conference with the Dick bill, and the other two increase the galary of the adjutant general to $3,- 600 and allows him another assistant. The motor vehicle law proposed by the Automobile club of the state made Its appearance through V. L. Johnson of Center City. The bill covers all phases of automobile legislation. Instead of a commission to recom- mend a bill to the next legislature for the solution of the employers’ liability problem, such as the governor will recommend to the legislature, F. B. Wright’s bill introduced in the house, calls for a commission to at once han- dle and settle all personal injury cases. The bill provides that in all such cases the question of contributory negligence and whether the employer furnishes a safe place to work and #afe machinery shall not be consid- .,ered but damages paid according to the injury. The bill provides for a com- mission of three to whom all personal Injury cases may be submitted, and if the employer and employe agree to gibmit the case to this commissfon, it shall be final and a bar to all future Htigation. After “Hot Air” Concerns. Representative R. I.. Mork of Brice- Iyn wants to stop the swindling of the public by glowing prospectuses of gold mines, air lines and other “hot air” /énmes, 80 he introduced a bill to “prohibit the making or publishing of false or exaggerated statements -or publications of or concerning the af- fairs, pecuniary condition or property of any corporation, joint stock asso- clation, co-partnership or Individual, which sald statements are. intended to glve, or shall have a tendency to give, a less or greater value to the shares, bonds or property, or any part there- of of sald corporation, than the shares, bonds or property really possess.” Any one who makes any such false state- ments is gullty of a felony and may be punished with ten years’ imprison- ment or a fine of $10,000. Two election bills were Introduced by Representative Carl Wallace of Minneapolis. One provides that elec- tion precincts be redistricted when they have 600 voters, instead of 400 as at present, and that in cities of 10,000 or over the polls shall be open from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m. Express companios have thelr tax raised from 6 to 8 per cent in a bill introduced by W. A. Nolan of Grand Moadow. The beginnings of the new state penitentiary at Stillwater were in- spected by 150 senators and represen- tatives. Warden Wolfer said that . they expected to turn out twenty-five machines of each kind from the shop this year, and that next year they would be able to make 300 or 400 each of harvesters, mowers and other farm machines. He sald that he had or- ders for delivery this year of 500 ma- i+ ‘chines. It is contemplated to permit the +'board of control to issue certificates - of indebtedness to the extent of $2.- 500,000 so that the new prison can be built immediately. The senate in committee of the . whole killed the bill of J. W. Wright \ppropriating the returns of the mort- gage registry tax to the road and | bridge fund In each county, % HILL MAY ENTER CALIFORNIA Important Purchase of Portland Ware- house Property. Portland, Ore., Jan. 1,8—A deal in Portland warehouse property to the value of $1,500,000 has become publia by the recording of twenty-elght deeds in which John: W. Craig of Los Angeles 'appears as purchaser. . The property consists of a string of nine blocks lying . between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets and extending from Hoyt to Quimby streets. The deal is not so important because of the valuation of the property as it is by reason of the mystery that sur- rounds the bartering which preceded the sale. The local agent, F. Vendee, has offered to lease portions of the purchase for from two to three years. It is notable, too, that the same fer of blocks lying one block pest is the property of, the Hill railroads and that the key lots which connect the present purchase with the water front are also owned by the Hill interests. It is suggested that the purchase has *o0 do with an unofficial announcement that it is the intention of the Hill lines to extend their lines into Cali- fornia. ALL REFER 10 LOANS OF MONEY Letters From Hundreds of Wo- men in Prisoner’s Trunk. Kansas City, Jan. : J—Charles B. Nord, formerly a Kansas City real estate dealet, has been placed in jall here on a charge of passing a worth- less check. He was arrested in Omaha on a warrant sworn out by a grocer. Following his return to Kan- sas City the police seized Nord’s trunk and in it found several hundred letters from women in various parts of the country. These letters, which ‘were made public, invariably refer to Nord in terms of endearment, gener- ally speak of a coming marriage and in each case mention loans of money. alleged to have been made by the writers to Nord. One writer pleaded with the man to sell his office furniture in Buffalo and come to her and marry her. An- other letter read:. “We will be happy when we are married, but, Charles, if you expect to keep my confidence, you must square yourself in regard to that check,” The same writer in an- other letter said: “I just received -a notice from the First National bank saying that the note for $1,000 was due April 13 and must be paid.” Still another writer says: “Fortu- nately, dear boy, I have the loan at hand that you ask. Of course you hate to ask me for it, but I am only too glad to do you the favor.” CHANGE IN USUAL CUSTOM Roosevelt Will Not Return.to White House With Successor. ‘Washington, Jan. .3.—President Roosevelt will not follow the custom and ride back to the White House March 4 with his successor in office. He told a New York congressman that he would go direct from the Cap- itol after President-Elect Taft takes the oath of office to the Union station and take a train for New York, The president’s purpose was made known in accepting the invitation of the New York county committee to be al- lowed to act as his personal escort on the way from the Capitol to the depot. This invitation was presented by Representatives Parsons, Bennett and Olcott of New York. The county committee will have 500 members in line. They will form a part of the great parade to the Capitol, will go with the ex-president to the train and return to. their place in line on the return march. OPPOSED BY CONSERVATIVES Move to Endorse New Labor Party Turned Down by Miners. Indianapolis, Jan. .J.—Another ef- fort to put the Mine Workers’ con- vention on record as favoring the in- stitution of an “independent Ilabor party” failed. This and similar meas- ures have come from unions that are not socialistic in their views, but nevertheless feel that as neither of the old parties will take action on the part of the laboring classes as against the capitalistic classes there should be organized a new party for’ this purpose. Socialists, of which there are about three hundred in the convention, op- pose this policy as antagonistic to their already established party, but the overpowering influence against the new party has been exercised by the conservatives, led by such men as Congressman W. B. Wilson of Pennsylvania. DAMAGE BY HIGH WINDS New Structures and Small Craft Suf- fer Severely. New York, Jan. J—High winds which prevailed here played havoc with new construction in various parts of the city. In the Bronx the damage was particularly heavy. A three-story frame structure was blown from its foundation and the walls of a half finished three-story brick dwell- ing collapsed. Nearby structures were damaged by flylng debris. Many suburban buildings had their roofs ripped off. In the harbor numbers of small craft were -torn from their moorings and sent -adrift. Bridges and Culverts Washed Out. St. Joseph, Mo, *Jan. 4.—A rain Which almost reached the proportions of 2 cloudburst did great damage in St. Joseph and vieinity. .A number of bridges and culverts were washed out and raflroads suffered.

Jihuta, Abyssinia, Jan. 29.—It is re- ported here that King Menelik is gravely ill, but the rumors of nu death-cannot be eonflmad. CHILE BREAKS WITH PERU Minister at Lima Recalled to Yalparaiso. OLD ANIMOSITIES REVIVED Declared at Valparaiso :rhu! the Chil- ean Squadron Now in the Strait of Magellan Has Been Ordered North. Action of Peru Regarded as a Re- buff to the Friendly Advances of Chile. Valparaiso, Chile, Jan. ).—The rupture of diplomatic relations be- tween Chile .and Peru, signalized by the withdrawal of Semor J. M. Ech: enique, the Chilean minister at Lima, has aroused more or less excitement here and the old animosities between the two countries, dating back to the war of 1879 and the consequent occu- pation of the Peruvian provinces of Tacna and Arica by Chile, have to a certain measure been revived. It is declared here that the Chilean squadron under Admiral Wilson, now in the Strait of Magellan, has been ordered north. The difficulty between Chile and Peru came to general notice when the Peruvian government a few months ago refused to permit Chile, repre- sented by Senor Echenique, to place a tablet on the monument erected by Peru to the memory of her soldiers who lost their lives in the war of 1879. Semnor Echenique was then re- called. 2 The action of Peru is regarded as a rebuff to the friendly advances of Chile, but the controversy is entirely diplomatic and has not yet assumed a serious or threatening character. ON EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY Governor Johnson Sends Message to Minnesota egislature. St. Paul, Jan. . .—Governor John- son bas sent a special message to the legislature ‘dealing with proposed leg- Islation for the compensation of in- Jured workmen. The bulk of the message includes a petition signed by various representa- tives of organized labor, by George M. Gillette, president of the Minne- sota Employers’ association, and by. ‘W..E. McEwen; state labor commis- sloner. -It is recommended therein that the present legislature create a special commission to investigate the whole subject involved and to submit |- to the next legislature the result of its work in the form of a bill provid- ing ‘a more -enlightened and fairer method of awarding such compensa- tion than now exists. ONLY ONE BALLOT TAKEN Hopkins Losing in lllinois Sepatorial Fight. Springfield, Ill., Jan. - A.—With the taking of “one senatorial ballot the joint session arose in order to give the senators and representatives an opportunity to catch the afternoon train for home to spend Sunday, the two houses having adopted a joint resolution adjourning until next Tues- day morning. The twenty-second ballot shows a net loss by Senator Hopkins of one vote in the house, Representative Laine of Chicago voting for Richard Yates. Yates’ vote Increased from two to four. Other than these changes -the roll call practically was the same as the twenty-first ballot. SHOOTS WIFE AND LOVER South Dakota Man Returns Home Un- expectedly. Washta, S. D, Jan. 44.—Edward Morris, a prominent Black Hills mer- chant, killed David Jennings, a clerk in his store, and dangerously wounded his wife. Morris left town and re: turned unexpectedly during the night, entering his home by a rear window. He found Jennings there and killed him instantly, a moment later firing a bullet into his wife’s body. She will recover.
