Paul and Minneapolis Do Not Want Their Power of Regulating the Street Railways Taken Away—Four Election Bills Killed by Senate Com- mittee—Tuberculin Test Measurs Killed by the Senate. St. Paul, March 19—By a vote of 32 to 26 the senate put the stamp of its approval on Cass Lake as the most fitting site for the sixth normal school of the state. Four election bills’ were killed by the senate committee on elections. they included the house bill making provision for voting of traveling men when away from home, and the new bill by Senators Sullivan and Can- field relating to the change in the primary law. The committee amended this bill so as to not apply to congress- men and then Senator Canfield him- self made the motion for indefinite postponement. The bill preserved most of the pres- ent primary system. Senator Canfield urged that the congressmen should be omitted from the present primary, as it permitted Democratic congressmen to represent normally Republican dis- tricts. The committee also killed the bill changing the time of the primaries to June and the bill requiring a state- ment of the origin of the money spent on the elections. The senate killed a bill for tubercu- 1in tested dairy products and the house bill relating to semi-monthly payment of wages in addition to sev- eral minor bills. Tuberculin Test Bill Killed. Senator J. W. Wright’s bill relating to dairy products permitted creameries to demand that none but milk from tuberculin-tested cows be dellvered, and then the creamery might stamp the butter as being free from tuber- culous germs. But the senate killed the bill with only 10 votes in its favor. The seni-monthly payment bhill was Killed with 24 votes for it, and was preceded by a sharp fight and a call of the senate. After a tilt among the lawyers of the body, Senator G. P. Wilson’s bill permitting the distribution of a man’s estate after he has been absent for seven years was killed by 31 to 18. One more vote would have passed it The bill glving permission to the state board of health to issue regu- lations concerning cleanliness in fac- tories was also killed. The senate by a narrow margin passed the bill compelling the sale of many vegetables by weight instead of measure. If the bill passes the house potatoes will be sold by the pound in- stead of by the bushel. The law was amended by striking out sweet pota- | toes, tomatoes and other articles, but most vegetables and all kinds of grain and seed are included in the provision. Minneapolis members in the house made an effort to kill the Rowe pack- ing plant bill, but before it came to a vote they changed their minds. J. G. Lennon, who had made a motion to have the bill taken from general or- ders and indefinitely postponed, with- drew his motion and Instead had the il made a special order for next Thursday afternoon. Want to Retain Their Power. That St. Paul and Minneapolis do mot want their power of regulating the street rallways taken away was made plain to the judiciary committee of the house of representatives by repre- sentives from the two citles. That the country is equally anxious to have clectric lines placed under some cen- tral body, which will facllitate the building of interurban lines, was also | made plain, and it Is now up to the sub-committce to draft a bill which ‘will satisfy hoth sides. The hearing before the judiclary committee on the Nolan bill placing all street railways under the railroad commission was one of the warmest at the capitol during the session. The Minneapclis aldermen were out in full force, and Mr. Nolan and his friends were there to oppose them warmly at every turn. The bills recommended to pass by the house included two bills for con- stitutional amendments to promote re- forestraticn, Carl Wallace’s bill regu- lating the provisions to be contained in accident insurance policies, T. J. Brady’s anti-cigarette bill, John Spence’s bill permitting counties to spend money for advertising their re- sources, D. Robertson’s bill providing that the wholesaler and not the re- tailer shall be prosecuted for viola- tions of the food laws, G. A. Macken- ele’s bill to prevent killing of wild enimals on state forest reserves, L. C. Spooner’s bill limiting telegraph tolls to 25 cents for ten words within the state, J. J. Opsahl’s dynamite bill and ‘W. H. Putnam’s bill repealing the horse thief and tree planting boun- tes, The house began consideration of the employes’ compensation bill, drafted by the special committee. It was continied as a special order un- til next Tuesday, DOZEN -PERSONS _ INJURED Many Others Have Narrow Escape From Death by Fire. New York, March 2).—More than & dozen persons were injured and mem- bers of twenty-four familles had nar- row escapes from death by fire when a seven-story twin apartment bullding known as the Fifth Avenue apart- ments was hurned. The building was separated from the Hotel Plaza only by a smaller bullding and the hotel office was made a hospital for the in- jured, while many wealthy residents of the hotel watched the blazing building from the hotel windows and doors. When the firemen reached the scene men, women and children were sitting on window ledges or hanging out of the windows gasping for breath and others, overcome by smeke, were being held in position by their rela- tives, One girl was standing on a window ledge on the sixth fioor pre- paring to jump into the street despite the warnings of those gathered below. Firemen raised extension ladders to the fourth floor and went by scaling ladders to the sixth, whence they car- ried down Mr. and Mrs. John W. Mec- Donald and their son and a servant girl. An hour and a half after the fire started all the floors collapsed. “YOUR MOVE” BY CABLE English and American Students Play Long Distance Chess Today. Princeton, N.

Va., Flooded by Bursting Tanks. SCORES OF HOUSES IN PATH Ten or More Houses Are Completely Wrecked and Forty Others Badly Damaged—The Breaking of the Tanks Is Believed to Have Been Caused by Some Miscreant Who Dynamited Them. Parkersburg, W. Va., March 20.— Three persons were killed, three oth- ers probably fatally injured and many more slightly hurt and ten or more houses completely wrecked and forty more badly damaged when the two large water tanks supplying the city with water burst. The dead are Mr. and Mrs. Waggle and small child. The bodies were found in the ruins of their home. When the break occurred an im- mense stream of water rushed down Prospect hill, sweeping everything be- fore it. Houses were swept into the street and the residents were knocked from their beds. One whole family, while sleeping in an up stairs room, was carried down a street seventy-five yards, the house being split almost into ribbons, yet all escaped serious injury except one girl, who had her collarbone broken. The two tanks contained the entire city water supply and a famine is imminent. - The damage will amount St. John’s Lutheran church was al- most completely demolished, but through its sacrifice many lives were spared and much more damage pre- vented, as it was directly in the path of the water. The Dbreaking of the tanks is believed to have been caused by some miscreant who dynamited them, as there were two explosions heard. How’s This?
