SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM INVESTIBATION WILL BE MADE Committee to Look Info Charges Made by Williams. PASSES LENNON'S RESOLUTION House Favors Probe of Allegations Made by the Former Labor Commis- sioner—Bill for New Judge Causes Spirited Debate—Senate Committee Agricultural Favors Increa; Schools From Five to Eight. sing St. Paul, Feb. 4—By a vote of 83 to 28 the house adopted Representa- tive John G. Lennon's resolution call- ing for the appointment of a commit- tee to Investigate the charges prefer- red by W. H. Williams, former labor commissioner, in a report to the leg- islature. Mr. Williams alleged that the office was being used to subserve the political interests of the adminis- tration. The house in committee of the whole killed Elmer Adams’ bill intend- ed to repeal the law establishing the farm for inebriates. County boards of school trustees are established in a bill introduced in the house by Donald Robertson of Argyle. They are to be elected one in each commissioner district at the primary election. The members of the board ghall draw salaries of from §25 to $100, according to the size of the county. They shall elect the county superintendent and they shall perform all other duties relating to schools now performed by the county commis- sloners. John Saugstad of Climax introduced & bill providing that boards of trade cannot limit thair membership, that the price of a membership shall not exceed $5,000, that no membership application shall be rejected nor any ‘membe: expelled except for cause. Under a bill by Elmer Adams of Fergus Falls the minimum saloon li- cense is made $1,000. At present it may be $500 In cities below 10,000, and in villages. Bill for a New Judge Discussed. The bill for a new judge in the Fif- teenth district came up in the house and B. A. Kling of Little Falls urged its passage. He accused the Demo- cratic opponents of the Dbill of play- 4ng politics on account of the charge that the intention was to give a place to C. W. Stanton, who was defeated for re-election last fall. Elmer Adams pointed ont that Min- nesota had already thirty-six judges, while Wisconsin, a larger state, has only twenty-two, and he said that the whole state should be redistricted. Several Republicans said they would vote for the judge if he really were needed, but they wanted a little more time. William Dower of Wade- na, who represents one county in the district, sald they were opposed to a new judge, as it was not necessary and if the judges had not been so busy with politics last summer they would have been able to handle the litiga- tion. Mr. Adams wanted to know when the talk of a new judge started and E. R. Hinds of Hubbard said it started right after election. Action on the bill was postponed. F. T. White of Elik River introduced & bill in the house proposing a con- stitutional amendment providing that in the absence of the governor the lleutenant governor shall perform his duties and have all his powers. Before the senate convened the committee on agriculture met again and agreed to increase the number of agricultural schools from five to eight and locate them at Waseca, Austin, Mapleton, Dodge Center, Windom, Foley, Marshall and Hutchinson. Number of Schools Increased. ‘When the news spread that the com- mittee was to bring in a general bill providing the same requirements for the schools in the various towns, other genators wanted to be taken care of and the number of schools was in- creased with the intention of permit- ting the final number to be fought out in the house. The senate has sidetracked the bill of Senator Sundberg for state aid to corigolidated rural schools with an ag- ricultural feature added and has adopted the policy of district agricul- tural schools supported practically wholly by the state. This plan does not meet with the entire approbation of the educational authorities of the state, many of them being of the opinifon that agricultural training should be given in more local schools. There is little hope that much can be accomplished at this session to- wards founding many of them. The Bundberg bill is drawn so that the limit of territory to be served is not g0 large but that the pupils cannot drive to the school and home at night and not more than ten each such dis- tricts are to be aided each year. A comprehensive bill providing for the inspection and regulation of all restaurants, bakeries and similar places where food is served or made s that introduced by Senator White of Claremont. The taxes of the insurance compa- nies have not been raised since 1872, and they pay but 2 per cent on their business in this state. Senator Moon- on of Waseca introduced a bill in the senate increasing the tax to 4 per oent, making it equal to the amount pald by the railroads. { Franc IMMEDIATE ACTION URGED Bill to Compel Use of Wireless on All Passenger Vessels. Washington, ~Feb, 4—Following closely the introduction of a bill by Representative James IFra Burke of Pennsylvania to require ocean go- ing passenger ve to be equipped with wireless telography the house committee on merchaut marine and fisheries took it up for consideration. An immediate rveport is being urged 50 that the bill may become a law at this session. Reprosentati Burke attended the meeting to explain his bill. Since its introdnction, which followed the ONE ANTI-JAP BILL ADOPTED Separate Schools for Orien- tals in California, ALL OTHERS DEFEATED Measures Barring Aliens From Own- ership of Property and From Being Members of Corporations Are Killed, as Well as the Act Providing for the Segregation of Certain Races in One Locality. Sacramento, Cal,, Feb. 5.—Grove L. Johnson's bill prohibiting aliens from being members of corporations, one of the anti-Japanese bills to which Prosident Roosevelt objects, was re- fused passage in the assembly by a vote of 54 to 15. JAMES F. BURKE. wreck of the Republic off Nantucket, the Pittsburg congressman has been making an extensive study of the sub- ject and has collected a mass of data. The number of people affected by the proposed legislation may be judged, Mr. Burke told the committee, from the faect that the ships not now equipped with wireless carry on an average of 100,000 passengers per trip into the port of New York, about 15, 000 each into Philadelphia and Balti- more and about 2,500 cach into San co and Port Townsend. PITTSBURG AROUSED BY NEGRO ASSAULTS Whites Arming and Threaen to Shost at Sight, Pittsburg, Teb. 4.—At the Central police station here 109 negroes who were arrested following a carnival of crime against young white girls in the Herron Hill district recently were given nearings before Magistrate Brady, Twenty proved that they have honest employment and were dis- charged. The others, numbering eighty-nine, were held gver on charges of being “suspicious persons.” From now on large forces of officérs will be stationed over the entire Her- ron Hill district and strenuous efforts will be made to stamp out the many assaults on young women. A radical change in the treatment of negroes by white citizens of the Herron Hill district is already mani- fested. Some of the women now go armed, others who are afraid of a re- volver carry police whistles and a ma- jority of the men have armed them- selves and positively threaten to kill the first negro caught molesting a white woman. The police are of the opinion the terrible criminal acts of the negroes are the work of a few de- generate cocaine fiends. During the past month over a dozen girls have been assaulted in the Herron Hill dis trict. One Ballot Taken in lilinois.

One provided for the insertion in the existing law of the word “Japanese,” compelling children of that race to attend separate schools as “Mongoll ans” and .“Indians” are compelled to do now. The “other was an act to confer power upon municipalities to protect the health, morals and peace of their inhabitants by restricting undesirable, fmproper and unhealthy persons and persons whose practices are danger- ous to public morals, health and peace to certain prescribed limits. John J. McManus and Charles A. Nelson of San Francisco spoke in fa- vor of the segregation bills. The first ballot oun tie residential segregation bill resuited ayes 38, noes 32. As forty-one votes are necessary to pass a measure the speaker issued a call of the heuse. Several changes were made in votes after the call was dispensed with and the final vote was 37 to 37, the bill being defeated. John- son of Sacramento changed to “no” and moved to reconsider. The bill compelling Japanese to attend sep- arate schools was passed, 46 to 28. GALLERIES WERE PACKED Scenes Attending Defeat of First Anti- Jap Measure. Sacramento, Cal,, Feb. 5—With the defeat of the Drew hill in the assem- Dly all hope of passing any of the anti- Japanese measures has been prac- tically abandoned. One of the re- markable features of the defeat of the bill was the fact that it was ac- complished in the face of an audience of 2,000 people, who wildly applauded every anti-Japanese sentiment. Both sides made dramatic appeals to the packed galleries and in one of these Nathan C. Coghlan, a San Francisco assemblyman, who was an opponent of the bill, made a bitter attack on the Japanese. He has a large labor union constituency and his opposition was Dbased on the plea that the bill would be distinctly ‘harmful to labor by driving capital away. Governor Gillett was highly pleased with the action of the assembly. Tt is expected he will now proceed with the measure which is designed to ob- tain an exact census of the Japanese in this state. Most of the opposition to the bill, according to the speeches of its opponents, was based either on grounds extraneous to the Japanese question or on the argument that its passage would retard rather than hasten the exclusion of the Japanese from this country. JAP CONFIDENGE UNSHAKEN Believe Rooseveit Voices Sentiment of Majority of Americans. Tokio, Feb. 5—A high official of the government says: “Our confidence in the fairness and justice of the real American people will remain unshaken through a stronger test than the action of a few men who do not really represent the sentiment of the public. In Nevada, California and elsewhere we believe that the true sentiment of the people is voiced by President Roosevelt and the leading statesmen and business men. The real danger of such utter- snces as those contained in the Ne- vada resolution and similar ones, made by persons whe entirely misun- derstand Japanese, lies in the effect they may have on the ignorant peo- ple of both Japan and America. The intelligence of both countries’ should be exercised to muzzle the ignorant and vicious press and individuals.” Leading foreigners and diplomats in Tokio deplore the present agitation in America for the reason that they be- lieve that it may seriously hamper American trade in Japan and possibly throw difficulties in the way of the signing of the new treaties between the two countries. Resolution WIII Fail to Pass. ‘Washington, Feb. 5.—Senator Nixon of Nevada told the president that he was confident the anti-Japanese reso: lution before the Nevada.legislature would not be passed. He said he had received trustworthy -information to that eftect. The president expressed his _satisfaction with the succéss of. his effort in the matter. The presi- dent likewise expressed satisfaction at the action of the California legislatura in defeating the Drew resolution. DEMANDED BY THE STATE Increase in Oil Company Fines In Lieu of Ouster, 2 Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. .—Attor- ney General Major has filed in the supreme court of the state a sugges- tion that if the court decides to have & hearing on the motion filed by the | Standard 0il company of Indiana that the state be allowed to be represented either in oral arguments or by filing & brief. The document does not re- veal the exact stand to be taken by the state, but it is thought that tho |80 aflorney~ genetal will endeavor to have enforced the points agreed upon in a conference on the case at the executive mansion. These points in brief are: A “First—That there must be an in- crease in the fines Jeyied against the company and its subsidiaries if the court is disposed to modify the de- cree of ouster, and, “Second—There must be some pro- vision for effective supervision of the oll business by the state, whether along the lines suggested by the com- panies or otherwise,” B “Governor Hadley and John Ken- nish, who was an assistant in the criginal prosecution, agreed with me that the state should leave the matter to the discretion of the court,” said the attorney dengral. “We wish to he represetited, however, it a hearing 15 to be granted on the matter.” NEW YORK HONARS “KHISER'S ENVOY Reception and Dinner for Gount von Bernstorf, New York‘ ‘eb. i'.—Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, the new am- bassador from Germany, is the guest of the city today.

URGES RECONSIDERATION Gives His Views on the Subject at Length and Declares “It Humiliates the State and Lowers Her Place of Dignity”—Senate Promptly Passes the Measure in Spite\of the Execu- tive's Disapproval. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. \.—Governor M. R. Patterson has scnt to the state senate a special message vetoing the bill prohibiting. the manufacture of intoxicants in Tennessee after Jan. 1, 1910. The message, in part, follows: “If this legislature shall destroy the distilleries and breweries why cannot the next forbid the raising or selling of the grains or cultivation of the grape out of which spirituous, malt or vineous liguors are made? “Shall this or some future legisla- ture prevent the farmer from raising or selling tobacco or the manufacturer from placing it on the market? “If we are thus started where shall we end? It is better not to make the start. “In the exercise of my constitu- tional powers as governor I veto this measure and ask its reconsideration: “First—Because it ruthlessly de- prives the state of revenue without any sort of co onding benefit. “Seccond—Tt discriminates against our own people in favor of the people of other states. “rhird—It destroys the property of tizens without compensation. . “Fourth—It makes a dangerous precedent, humiliates Tennessee and lowers the place of dignity she has occupied as one of the proudest and most conservative states of the Un- ifth—TIt violates the will of the people twice expressed at the ballot box.” There will probably be a lengthy discussion on the subject; but it is a foregone conclusion that the bill will be passed over the governor’s veto. The prohibition bill was passed by the senate over thie governor’s veto by a vote of 20 to 12, Would Repeal Mileage Allowance. Washington, Feb. z.—Representative Cox (Ind.) proposes that the mileage, at the rate of 20 cents a mile, now allowed to senators, representatives and delegates in congress, shall be withdrawn., By means of a bill intro. duced by him Mr. Cox desires to have the mileage section of the statutes repealed.

One of my lady customers_told me recently that she "could not keep house without it, thiat since they have been using it they have had no need of a doctor.” croup o physician will usually call twice, and perhaps half a dozen times in a severe and long protracted case of whooping cough, whilein pneumonia it is often necessary that he calls once or twice a day for a week or two. Al of thig trouble and expense may be saved by the judicious use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, for it isa certain cure for croup, and when given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears it will prevent the attack. Pneumonia can also be prevented. This fact has been fully proven, as during the al- most forty years in which this remedy has been in lienernl use, no case of a cold or at- tack of the grip has ever resulted in peu- monia when this remedy was used, so far as we have been able to learn. It will be seen that 2 little forethought and by doing the right thing at the right time, all danger and ex- pense may be avoided. Bear in mind that every bottle of this remedy is warranted and if not as stated it will not cost you a cent.
