T0 CONSIST OF THREE MEN Who Are to Serve Without Compensa- tion While They Inquire Into the Subject of Workingmen’s Compensa- - tion for Injuries With the Object of Reporting a Bill to the Next Leg- Islature—Plan to Settle Railroad Fight. St. Paul, March 23.—The long-looked- for bill providing for a commission to inquire into the subject of working- men’s compensation for injuries and to report a bill to the next legislature was introduced in the house by W. A. Campbell of Minneapolis. It pro- vides for a commission of three, one to represent labor, one the employers and one to be learned in the law. They are to serve without compensation, but are given power to employ & sec- retary and pay other necessary ex- penses. The secretary may be one of the three. Mr. Campbell introduced another bill requiring casualty and indemnity companies to furnish information re- garding accidents, giving detailed re- ports classifying causes and condi- tions of accidents, compensation re- ceived and the like. A third bill by the same author requires all physi- clans and surgeons, employers and employes to report all accidents to the state labor bureau and give com- plete information concerning them. A joint resolution was offered by J. G. Lennon of Minneapolis in the house for a joint committee to confer with the railroad officials regarding the commodity freight rates, which are being tested in the courts, and re- port a bill which might settle the litl- gation. Mr. Lennon offered his reso- Iution in lieu of the senate bill, which is before the house, re-enacting the commodity rate bill without the pen- alty clauses. Gave Notice of Debate. After Mr. Lennon had made a lengthy speech, F. T. White gave no- tice of debate, which required that the resolution go over for a day. The red, white and blue tights bill, ‘which was introduced in the house re- cently by T. J. Brady and Frank Nim- ocks and afterwards disowned by them and adopted by C. L. Sawyer, has received favorable action by the house committee on crimes and pun- ishment and a redraft of the bill came back to the house which provides a punishment of ninety days in jail or $100 fine for wearing red, white and blue tights or other unseemly apparel displaying the national colors by any female at any public performance. A state wide repeal of the 11 o’clock Hd is proposed in an innocent looking bill, which P. J. Welter of Newmarket introduced in the house. The bill consists of only a couple of lines, and amends Section 1532 of the code by striking out the lihe which prohibits the sale of liquor between 11 p. m. and 6 a. m. and inserting a sentence which leaves the determina- tion of the hour to the city council. A resolution urging congress to place lumber and coal on the free list, introduced by J. A. Gates of Kenyon, passed the house almost unanimously. A memorial to congress asking for the retention of the duty on unfinished granite was introduced by O. F. Doyle of St. Cloud, but was sent to the com- mittee on manufacturers, Colvill Status to Be Unveiled. A resolution was passed in the house under which the house chamber will be used Wednesday of next week for the unveiling of the statue of Colonel ‘William F. Colvill. The house killed Representative EI- mer Adams’ blll lmiting the cost of the state inebriate hospital to $100,- 000 and allowing the board of control to locate it on state land. Appeals. for education in terms ot the environment for instruction which shall teach children something about the conditions about their homes rather than in some for off place was urged by a number of speakers before the joint committee of the finance committee of the senate and the ap- propriations committee of the house. Professor A. W. Rankin of the state university and A. M. Duntan, who has organized several consolidated schools in the northern part of the state, ap- peared among others to support the district plan of agricultural schools. Professor Duntan made the predic- tion that the college work at the St. Anthony institution would soon crowd out the school part. It is urged that the work at the state farm school is 80 technical that it tends to take men away from the farm. Professor Dun- tan said that the Crookston school by keeping the pupils in a more strictly farm environment is able to accom- plish more for the farms than the St. Anthony school, so far as the pupils are concerned. He is urging that state aid be given for the organization of consolidated rural schools, with a central school where the rudiments of agriculture can be taught. His plan also includes higher agricultural schools in each congressional district, of which the fchool At Crookston is an example.

GOVERNOR CURRY RESIGNS Was Denied Permission to Visit Wash- ington on Business. Santa Fe. N. M., March 2.—Gov- ernor George Curry has telegraphed to President Taft his resignation as gov- ernor of New Mexico. Governor Curry stated that al- though he had contemplated taking this action for several months past the immediate cause of his resignation was that he had requested a leave of absence to go to Washington to talk with President Taft and the secretary of the interior on matters of great im- portance to New Mexico, not apper- taining to statehood, but that Secre- tary of the Interior Ballinger had an- swered that he should take up the business by letter. . SUIT TO DISSOLVE OIL TRUST CALLED Government Gase Against Stand- ard in Gourt St. Louis, March 2 .—In the circuit court of the United States for the Eighth judicial circuit the suit of the federal government under the Sher- man antitrust law to dissolve the Standard Oil company of New Jersey was called today. The judges who are hearing the arguments are Willis Van Devanter, William C. Hook, Wal- ter H. Sanborn:and Elmer B. Adams. In the event of a disagreement among these jurists the case will be certified up to the supreme court. In any event the case will not be tried by the appellate division, as it has been arranged that in the event of a decision either way the case will be appealed direct to the supreme court. This is the case which has already cost the government and the company about $5,000,000 and in which hear- ings have been held in many cities. The case was filed in St. Louis in December, 1906, and the taking of testimony began the following year. The government has presented 190 witnesses and the Standard Oil com- pany 140. The complaint in the case names seven individual defendants, besides the Standard of New Jersey and sixty-nine alleged subsidiary of) companies. The individual defendants named are John D. Rockefeller, William Rockefeller, H. H. Rogers, Henry M. Flagler, John D. Archbold, Oliver H. Payne and Charles M. Pratt. DISCUSS WAGE SITUATION Anthracite Miners Begin Their Con- vention in Scranton, Pa. Scranton, Pa., March 2}.—Unless the tri-district convention of anthra cite miners, which began in this city today, adopts plans for making fur ther efforts to obtain’ from the coal companies a new agreement to take the place of the one which expires March 31 a strike of the hard coal miners will probably result. “Recognition of our union is one point upon which we shall stand fast,” said President Thomas L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers. “Our other demands are'reasonable and just and should be granted by the oper- ators, but the matter upon which we are united and in entire harmony is recognition of our organization. The demand of the miners for recognition of the union imposes no hardship on the operators.” The present agreement between the miners and the operators was made in 1906, to run three years. The op- erators assert their willingness to re- new the agreement, but declare that they cannot grant the present de- mands of the miners for shorter hours and higher wages without increasing the price of coal. This they declare themselves unwilling to do in view of present industrial conditions. The op- erators have also come out for the “open shop.” KEALING'S PLACE IS FILLED Charles W.

March 2 .—Judge Harbeson, in Kenton county circuit court, rendered his decision in the noted case of the Latonia Jockey club against the Kentucky racing commis- slon, holding the law establishing the commission as unconstitutional. The effect of the decision is to place La: tonia racing back to its former basis. Judge Harbeson held that the law creating the Kentucky racing commis- sion gave that body power to regulate running races; that trotting and run- ning races came under the same legal category and that, therefore, the law was class legislation and was uncon- stitutional. The court, in other words, held that the law to be valid must glve the racing commission specific authority over both trotting and run- ning races. TRIAL BEGINS AT CHICAGO President of Packing Company Ac- cused of Cruelty to Animals. Chicago, March 24.—Patrick Bren- nan, president of the Independent Packing company, charged with cruel- ty to animals, was placed on trial be- fore Judge Foster in the municipal court here.

C.” on hogs ‘pefore sending them to the slaughter- ing plant. The defendant is further charged with allowing the branded animals to remain for days without foed or water and of similer neglect of other domestic beasts.
