TO ELECT SENATORS.
A Memorial to Congress Ask
ing for a Constitutional
Amendment
To Choose Federal Senators
by a Direct Vote Of the
People
Was Among the Numerous
Measures Passed by the
Senate Yesterday.
Chin Music Was the Requiem
for the Railway Commits
sim Bill.

The Hennepin delegation were VIC
tins to the domination of the storm king
yesterday. and the seats of the senators
from the Flour city were not occupied
at the forenoon session yesterday. One
of the other senators suggested in a
facetious vein that this incident posi-
bly, accounted for the facility with
which the business of the state pro-
reSsed during the morning hours. He
explained that there were no
inYidiOus' debates between the
eloquent statesmen from tho Twin
Cities. Be that as 1t may, it must
be confessed that the morning session
was truly marked by dispatch of eff
fective work, although the matters I'M
der consideration were not generally of
transcendent Importance. The bust
ness was upon the calendar, and good
many bills were given a final reading
and were passed. Perhaps the most
important of these was the me mortal
congress for constitutional amend
ment to provide that the United States
senators may be elected directly by the
people instead OF by the state legisla-
lures, as at present.
The afternoon, however, proved a re-
turn to the time-hOnOred temper of the
senate TO debate. The forensic talents,
the parliamentary eruditiOn, and the
proclivities of the entire
senate were quickened, and it was an
afternoon that will mark the session of
the Legislature in this respect. One
would scarcely suspect that the game
was really worth the powder, but there
is no question that the grave seigniors
the measure that provoked
the orot0rical fireworks of sufficient
note to make it a target for some of the
Sharpest criticisms of the session. 1t
was the bill providing for the election
of the railway commission by popular
vote, and the result was to kill it by ill.,
definite pOStpOnement.

House File 156 Recommended
for Indefinite Postponement.

House File 1915 Recommended
for Indefinite Postponement.
j. c. Haynes, of Minneapolis, adj
dressed the judiciary committee of the
senate last evening upon House File
1876, amending the law relating to build
ing and loan associations. The purpose
is to fix the maximum salary of any
officer or agent of any association at
$1,000 year. Mr.. Haynes had under
stood that the highest salaries paid now
are from $4,000 to $1,000. The speaker
recited the history OF the present law.
when Senator Donnelly suggested that
the state has nothing to do with
the salaries of private corpora
tions, and Senator Tawney moved
that the committee report the bill back
with the recommendation that it be in
definitely postponed. Senator Hompe
was not prepared to support the motion.
Gov. Austin asked that the companies
be given hearing in the event that the
senate should fail to support the report
of the committee. The motion prevailed
unanimously, several members of the
committee refusing to vote.
The senate, in committee of the
whole, yesterday recommended House
File to pass. This is the bill provid-
ing for establishing boundary lines by
civil action, and is intended TO eXtricate
the property owners along BaSsett'S
creek in Minneapolis from the cOmplica-
tions that have arisen in consequence of
Strengthening the creek.

"0nly this and nothing more. "
There is this to be said about
Johann Hotf's Malt Extract,
that those who have once taken
it discard all others. This is
clearly indicated by the rapid
increase in its sales. When pa-
tients everywhere have once:
adopted johann Hoff's Malt Ex-
tract the difference between it
and inferior extracts usually
sold as "Hoff's Extract" is so
manifest1y apparent that they
will not bear even the mention
of any other. And the reason
is that tits not only more CRATE
full to the palate, but its action
is immediate and its results
permanent. Johann Hoff's Malt
Extract for the space of nearly
half a century has been a bless
ing to myriads of sufferers from
dyspepsia, sleeplessness and
general debility. Had it not
been so, it would have been a
dead letter" ere now. Beware
of limitations. The genuine
must have the signature Of
"Johann Hoff" on the neck Of
every bottle. Eisner & Mendel-
son Co., sole agents, New York.

JUDICIAL DISTRICTS AGAIN.

\ Commission Of Sixteen to Re-
apportion the State.
Senator Sanborn called the senate to
order yesterday morning. President
ClOugh was snow-bOund, meanwhile,
between the two cities, but he came in,
however,, during the forenoon and as
sumed the power of the gavel. The
usual number of petitions were read
and referred, and then Senator March,
prompted by the exposition given the
subject matter in the memorable de-
bate of the previous day, introduced a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of commission of sixteen, one to
be selected from each judicial district,
for the purpose of redistricting the state
for judicial purposes. Senator PrObst-
field offered amendment to provide
that the present number Of judges can
in no event be increased. Despite the
explanation offered by Senator Tawney
that the reappOrtiOnment committee al
ready had the matter under consldera-
| ton, the motion as amended obtained.
Senator March enlisted the aid of
| Senator Geissel to resuscitate the de-
capitated bill providing that five-SiXthS
| of Jury may bring in verdict in civil
cases after sitting six hours. Senator
| Geissel, in other words, moved to re-
consider the vote by which the measure
was lost. and this prevailed. The bill
/ went to the calendar.
That Insurance Bill.
Senator Davis, inspired by Senator
| March's success, made a like motion
| concerning his fire insurance bill. lie
promised to have the clause abOliShing
| the arbitration system stricken out, and
| the senate permitted the reconsidera-
! ton, and this measure also went to the
calendar. Senator Davis intimated that
| he was anxious to place certain senators
| on record. They had said that they
would support the bill with this feature
eliminated.
The calendar was then taken up and
it went through with swimming facility
The first measure, however, met
the unhappy fate. 1t was Senator Don
| nellv's measure to amend the corpora
ton laws so as to prohibit corporations
| from holding real estate. and when il
was defeated the Sage voted no and

A FOOL COUNTRYMAN.

He Offers p. II. Kelly $50 for His
Influence.
Hon. P. Fl. Kelly yesterday received
the following letter, which is given yer
batim, except that the names Of town
and man are omitted. 1t is from resi-
dent of the Fourth district:
Mr.. P. II. KelIie. st. Paul, MINI.

any use for me to offer you purse of
$50 to you to have you to have me

P. NJ. at this place. If you think you
can do any thing for me please let me
know. | can get all the siners that is
necessary if it is wanted. Yours frater-
nally.
MI Kelly replied that neither $50 nor
$780, 600 would be Of any use: that he
would spend the latter amount IL neces
sary to prevent the appointment, and
would also submit the letter to the new
postmaster general. When the writer
of the letter receives the reply, 1t is safe
10 say he will not be an applicant for
the position,

stone Differ Radically.
Mr.. Barrett analysed the condition of
the grain market as affecting independ-
ent buyers, showing how the bill might be
used in crushing them and forcing them
out OF the market. Amidst a storm of
questions and Interruptions he sturdily
stuck to the assertion that the bill
would go right back TO the questions of
grade, dockage and weight, and said he
could not favor it. III his opinion it
would complIcate matters without, In
any way, helping the farmers. The pro-
posed amendment would cause trouble
in ways not now foreseen.
Mr.. Lockwood, as an independent
buyer. expressed the opinion that the
bill would have the effect of encOurag-
ing fair and open competition, by pac-
ing every elevator under state inspec-
ton.
Mr.. Young stated the bill was simply
for the purpose of providing a tribunal
where disputes could be settled, not for
the purpose of restricting a market or
coercing anybody. TO the statements
that the farmers are opposing the bill,
he said the farmers had no definite bill
they were asking for, but they were de-
mahding relief from terminal despot-
ism, and this bill he believed would
furnish that relief and provide method
by which redress might be had for
grievances.
Mr.. Ives wanted to know, If the bill
was good thing, why the cities Of st.
Paul, Minneapolis. st. Cloud and Du-
luth were excepted from It's operation.
Mr.. Young answered that the condi-
tons at terminal points were entirely
different, governed by a different law.
Mr.. Ives came back with the inquiry
that if licenses to be granted under the
pending bill could be, revoked for
wrong-doing, why would it not be
desirable thing to bring elevators at the.
terminal points under the same pro-
vision.
Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Greer and Mr.. jacobson
hastened to reply that there Is another
bill coming which will aim to widen
the present law governing elevators so
that all of them will be made public,
under state control.
Mr.. German asked Mr.. Greer what
assurance the house would have that
another bill would be brought In if this
one was forced through whether the
farmers wanted 1t or not. And if it was
to be forced through anyway, why not
combine both, which they claim to be
good, and put them through together.
Mr.. Greer retOrted that district schools
and the university are not governed by
the same law. The course of study in
one could not be prescribed for the
other, and so it Is in this case-different
provisions of law are necessary TO meet
different conditions.

DUNN ON THE WARPATH.
| The Member From Mile Laos
Offers Two Resolutions.
Representative Dunn

following resolution:
Resolved, That the speaker appoint COM
mittee of five to investigate the alleged irreg

Office more especially with reference to the
sale of pine timber on section 81, township
Il, range 70, Mile Laos county, and that said
committee be empowered to employ stem
ographer and send for persons and papers
and report to this house not later than two
weeks from this date
1t went over under the rules on notice
of debate by Mr.. Wacek.
The same gentleman offered resOlu-
ton limiting speeches on bills either in
the house or committee of the whole to
five minutes, giving the introducer of
a bill ten minutes to explain it, and
limiting the explanation Of vote to
three minutes.
Mr.. Ives gave notice of debate and
the matter went over.
In moving the adoption of the reS0lu-
ton. Mr.. Dunn said great deal of val
liable time was being wasted every day
in useless and fruitleSS discussion ;
there was decided tendency to diarrhGa
of words, and constipation of ideas; and
the injunction that "breVity is the soul
of wit" was being totally disregarded.
A similar rule to the one proposed had
been adopted in the two preceding iegiS-
latures, and he hoped the resolution
would be adopted.
Mr.. Ives gave notice of debate, and
the resolution went over under the
rules, which caused Mr. Dunn to re-
mark: II thought some of the lawyers

COMING TO THE POINT.
MIR. Barrett Sounds a Warming I'm
Vain


Vain.
Mr.. Wagner spoke against the bill,
but unfortunately his remarks were in
audible at the reporters table, owing to
the confusion prevailing on the floor.
After parting word of warning from
Mr.. Barrett as to the possible effect OF
the bill if amended and so adopted, the
vote was taken on Mr. Greer's amend
ment, and it was declared adopted on
viva vOce vote.
MI. Mcguire proposed an amendment
to strike out the licensing feature OF the
bill. 1t was, in his opinion, the Objec-
tiOnable feature of the bill, and should
be eliminated. The amendment was
voted down.
Mr.. Ongstad offered an amendment
which was in effect substitute bill.
When the reading clerk had waded
half through it Mr.. Lockwood raised a
point of order that the amendment was
a substitute bill and therefore out of
order.
The chair sustained the point of
order, and in short order the Greer
amendment was adopted. Then the
committee decided to recommend the
bill for passage and rose. On the adop-
ton of its report the yeas and nays
were called, resulting 50 for to 20
against. Messrs. Noyes and +. NJ. Will
son were the only two Republicans Vot-
Ing in the negative. Adjournment was
taken TO 10 a, m, TODAY.

WOULD NOT INTRODUCE 1T.
New Jersey Catholics Will Not Get
ANY of the School Fund.

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. ga number
Of Catholic priests gathered at the state
house last evening to talk over their
measure to secure portion of the state
school fund for the maintenance Of the
parochial schools. They brought with
them the act which has already be Ell
published. Rev. Fathers Connolly, of
Perish Amboy; Whellan, of Patterson;
Sheppard. of Passaic; MuIligan, Of New
Brunswick, and COrrigan, of H0boken,
we're interested in the act. They were
anxious to find some senator to intro
duce it. They sent for one SEN
ator after another, and solicit
ed each In turn TO present
the bill for consideration, but all re-
fused, and finally the conferrees sent
for United States Senator-elect James
Smith Jr., who happened to be in town.
Mr.. Smith is Catholic OF great inf1u-
ence. He argued strongly against any
further attempt being made to intro
duce the bill. At midnight the con-
ferrees\h had dispersed, and the bill had
not found Its way into either house.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
The Senate Committee Considers
Freight Rates, Etc.

Freight Rates, Etc.
Judge Chandler, of the Chicago. Mil
waukee q st. Paul railway, appeared
before the senate railroad committee to
protest against the passage of House
File 274, prescribing passenger trains to
stop at all county seats. He argued
that it might interfere with government
mail contracts, and the measure was
finally so amended as to cover this case.
That is, so as not to apply to
trains entering or going out of the state,
and the committee decided to recon-
mend the passage of the bill as amended.
The Donnelly bill was then taken up.
This is the freight rate bill, giving
regulation class provisions. 1t Is a re-
duction of about % per cent on the
products and supplies of farmers. A
penalty of $500 for each offense is fixed.
Judge Chandler cOmbatted the bill
unctIouSly. He said that on the Item of
hay the railroads would only receive
$3.50 car for a fOrty-mile haul. He
had not had opportunity to study the
rate sheet that is embodied in the bill,
and therefore was not ready to enter
into an extended argument. He wanted
to make comparison with present
tariffs, and he felt that if 1t develops
that the railway companies are. charging
too high rates on any particular article,
a cut would gladly be made.
Manager Mellen, Of the Northern Pa
citic road, stated officially that the rates
in the bill on wheat would force the
road to pass its interest payments the
first day it becomes due, He conceded
that there were one or two rather fair
provisions in the bill, and he gave a
statistical statement to show that the
bill might work unwarranted hardshipS
in some particulars.
Senator La Due moved that further
consideration of the bill be postponed
until the railway representatives can
present their side of the case, and Fri.
day evening was fixed for the hearing.
