Wity STILL AFTER MGEE. Some of His Opponents Want Superior Court an Inferior ¢ A bl with & innocent lieading was introduced In the legislature, and innocent did it appear that some who were on the alert found great difficulty in finding the bill, its title being simply to direct a slight change in the statutes of the state. 'he move was detected and killed in the committee. It was then thought that the danger had passed and there would be no more threatening of the woolsack but now it comes to light that another move has been made to cut down the juris- iction of the superior court, limiting the amount which can be determined in this tribunal at $7,000. At present the court has conecurrent jurisdiction with the dis- trict t in civil matters and to cut down the limit of the legal play, a suggested, would simply the amount of con- venience affcrde this court, while the expon uld remain the same. In other words, the taxpayers are to be called upon to pay just the same, but submit to having less for their money. The purpose of the move seems so apparent that it Is not be- leved that the legislators will be duped into crystalizing it into a law. Neverthe- less, lest in haste or without sufficient knowledge of the facts, the legislators might be led into such foolishness, a remonstrance 1s being circulated among members of the bar and the business men and the repre- sentatives from this section will be urged to defeat the move. Aside from the ap- parent motive back of the move it is urged that I the superior court is to be main- talned at all 1t should afford all the. ac- commodations now given. It is too expen- sive and efficient a bit of legal machinery to be set at work simply on justice of the peace cases, and when the legislators fairly understand the situation they will doubtless tuck the bill in somé quiet pigeon-hole. to Make the rt. very appearing 0 s, cutlery and edge 1618 Dodge.

CHICAGO, March 21.—Fire in the South Evanston public school today caused a panic among the pupils. Several of the children Jjumped from the fifth floor and were in- jured, but only four of them were badly hurt. Those whose injuries may prove fatal are: Simon Newell, head and shoulders in- Jured. Ella Sagert, legs broken. Esther Burdes, dangerously injured. Percy Bradley, internally injured. Carrie Johnson, burned, probably fatally. Frank Johnson, fireman, cut by broken glass. Samuel Mack, expressman, crushed by fall- ing debris. Luke Husteble, dangerously burned. The pupils on the second floor of th: bulld= ing were driven by the flames and smoke to the upper stories, whence they were res- cued by the firemen. Teachers and pupils were panic-stricken and many were knocked down and trampled upon in the rush for the exit.. After the building was thought to be de- serted the firemen found Lucy Husteble, aged 10 years, unconscious on the third floor. She was badly burned and her recovery is doubt- ful. The building was valued at $50,000 and is a total loss. ———— Cure Indigestion and biliousness DeWitt's Little Early Risers. - MOTOR REPAIR SHOPS BURN, with Fifty-Thousand-Dollar the Early ire at Cleveland in Morning Hours.

THE SENATE EASILY It Carrles with it the Resolution to Resub- mit the Prohibitoty Proposition to the People—Democrats Opposad the Compromise Plan. DES MOINES, March 21.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—The action of the lower house today indicates that the enactment of a mulet-bill and the resubmission of the prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people will be the final solution of this ques- tion, so far as this legislature is concerned. The house reconsidered and passed the mulet bill without discussion or amendment. This result was reached through the action of a party caucus, by which it was agreed to pass the resolution resubmitting the ques- tion to the people. ' In consideration of this agrcement five radical prohibition members, Coonley of Butler, Doubleday of Polk, Jester of Greene, Mitchell of Adams, Stuntz of Story and Wood of Madison, who voted against the bill on the previous_ occasion, changed from no to aye along with Root and Trewin, two local op- tionists, who voted aye for the sake of party harmony. The result, which was announced as 53 yeas to 45 nays, was greeted with wild cheering and immediately followed by an adjournment, when an old fashioned republican love feast followed. The bill was immediately sent to the sen- ate and will come up as a special order to- morrow. It is believed that the river cities will accept this measure, as it practically gives them the right to regulate and control the traflic in their own way. The Cornwall resubmission resolution was then taken up and passed according to agreement, 71 yeas to 26 nays, Dayison, Myerley, Root, Sawyef, Smith and Trewin, local option republicans, voted with all tho democrats against the resolution. The house passed a bill appropriating $6,000 for support of the fith commission. The Sessions standard policy bill requiring all fire insurance companies except the mu- tuals to adopt a uniform standard policy, to be approved by the auditor of state, was reconsidered and defeated for the second time by 47 yeas, four short of a constitu- tional majority.
