Scorched spots that are very bad aud

goods, are said to be restorable by re-

chemists call it, consists of as much salt

Is Considered Sufficient for
Building and Loan Ass0-

By the Members Of the Min
neSota House Of Repre-
SentativeS.
Fr7
Judge Fleming Administers
a Hot Roast on the Sys-
tenn in Vogue.
The Joint Resolution on Pa
eifle Railroad Debts Is
Killed.

If the officers of the national building
and loan associations had happened
into the house about O'Clock yesterday
afternoon they would not have enjoyed
themselves a little mite. The matter
under discussion was Mr.. Bleecker'S
bill to regulate building and loan asso-
Citations. 1t was popular with a large
majority of the members, while the as
SociationS and their officers had few
friends willing to plead for them or de-
fend their business. This was clearly
evidenced in an amendment adopted.
When introduced the bill limited the
salary to be paid any officer to $4,000.
Mr.. Blocker allowed his nerve to waver
during its first whirl in committee Of
the whole, and amended to make the
limit s., 800. Thus it stood when taken
up yesterday. When the committee re-
ported to the house little later on the
limit was cut to $4,000. So it will be
when the bill passes the house, barring
any great or unexpected change i'll SELL
timent among the members.
Some echoes of the senatorial fight
also cropped out during the afternoon.
The cause thereof was the senate joint
resolution touching the Pacific railroad
debts, favoring foreclosure of the mort
gage held by the government, and max
ing the roads public highways under
government control. A disposition was
evinced to make short work OF the bill.
The friends of Senator Davis looked
upon it as direct slap at him for his
actions in congress. and were bluntly
hostile. They did not even try to dis
Semble. but attacked the bill as a CAM
paign document merely. full of bun
combe and impractical ideas. Though
defended by several members, the
measure was recommended for lndeti-
mite poStponement.

referred to the attorney general for his
opinion, and he promptly replied that
gin his judgment there was no conflict
between the provisions OF the acts and
the constitution of the state. The only
problem left for the solution of the COM
mittee was the justice OF the
measure. This was the point
considered yesterday, and it was
to get further insight into the work
ings of the same should the bills become
law that the railroad men were in
vited. to attend the session. w. S. Mel
len presented the case for the Northern
Pacific. He made an exhaustive state
ment, not only of the effect that the
acts would have upon his read, but the
condition of the company and its rela-
tons to the state. The effect would be
to Immediately place the road in the
hands of receiver The earnings OF
the road last year were barely sufficient
to diSburSe the running expenses OF the
company. Over 1000 men, he said, are
employed in this state, and the estimate
is that each has an average of five III his
family. and MI. Mellen considered this
an item that the legislature cannot af-
ford to overlook. The company paid
OUT Ill waves III UillS SLdl6 ldob yOul
s., 534, 900, and for materials bought in
the state S1,75S,00O. In other words,
81, 112, 900 was expended i'll the state
last year. The proposed freight reduc-
ton alone would lessen the earnings OF
the road, he said, S5,000,000 q year.
The committee had on a previous oc-
casion nearly arrived at the point OF
recommending the indefinite postpone
ment of these bills, and this statement
of facts reathrmed the opinion that had
been formed, and the committee Will
report today In favor Of the course init
mated.
Then the Mcguire bill. requiring rail-
way companies to construct and operate
sidetracks, with necessary switches, to
mills and elevators at stations along the
right of way of the roads, was amended
SO that the requirements shall only
apply to the territory within the pres
ent switch yards. The bill relating to
the qualifications Of locomotive engi-
neels was discussed at some length, but
no definite action was taken. A delega-
ton from the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers and from the tiremen
were given hearing, and they protest
ed against the passage of the bill.

4 SLAP Al DAVIS.
So His Friends Considered the
Pacific Debts Resolution.

SO Ills Friends COnSiuGreu the
Pacific Debts Resolution.
When general orders was reached,
Mr.. German was called to the chair.
First Oh the list was S. T. II, joint
resolution Oh the Pacific railroad debts.
1t had previously been recommended
for indefinite p0stponement by the rail
road committee. but the house had re-
fused to adopt the report. Yesterday it
did, however, adopt motion Of Mr..
Turrell that the resolution be recon-
mendcd for indefinite postponement.
The vote was 45 for to A against.
Before this action was taken Messrs.
Dunn and Turreil had denounced the
resolution as an eleetioneering dodge
which had outlived its usefulness and
should be killed.
Messrs. Bjorge, Onestad and Mcguire
resented the insinuation, holding it was
anentlrelY non-partiSan question and
tShould be so discussed and decided. Mr..
Greer also expressed himself in favor of
fair treatment of the resolution, and
wanted the committee to simply report
progress.
MI. Ongstad, called for the reading of
the resolution, which was DONE Then
Mr.. Ives made an earnest address in
favor Of consideration. holding that the
statement of facts given in the resolu-
ton was sufficient to justify drastic ac-
ton on the part of the government, rep
reSenting the people.
Mr.. Dunn maintained that the resou-
ton was only meant to be a reflection
| on Senator Davis originally. and could
| serve no good purpose now even if
| adopted. He thought the Democratic
congress could be trusted to deal prop
erly with the matter, outside Of any
thing the Minnesota legislature may do.
Mr.. Mcguire again earnestly protest
ed against the dragging in of politics.
Mr.. Wilson, or Goodhue, did not want
to 90 on record in favor of government
ownership of railroads. He considered
1t matter for congress to settle, not for
state legislatures to tinker with.
Mr.. Greer conceded with Mr.. Wilson
on many points, but while he was not in
favor OF government ownership Of rail-
roads, neither was he in favor of the
railroads owning the government. If
the facts stated in the resolution were
true, it would seem that the Pacific
roads had a "sinch." There should be
| a remedy, and there can properly be no
politics in it. The resolution, in his
/ opinion, should have further considera
! ton.
Mr.. Rodger thought it right and prop
| Ell that the voice of the Minnesota legiS-
| lature should be heard. Her senators
and representatives. ought to be in
! formed of the feeling of the people on
such vital matters. especially since the
/ roads mentioned have shown no dispO-
| sitlon to honor their obligations.

100000.
The house next took up S. F. SO, ap-
propriating 100000 for the Minnesota
exhibit at the worlds fair.
Nr.Wyman moved that the committee
recommend the bill for passage. In
support of his motion he made short
argument for the bill, and sent to the
clerks desk an itemized statement of
money heretofore expended by the COM
mission. The total amount is 6,O0O.
Mr.. Underhill offered an amendment
to make the amount $4,000. and moved
its adoption.
Mr. Mcguire thought the state COM
missoners should have confined them
selves to the provisions ot-,the act of
the last legislature. The amount then
appropriated had been judged amply
sufficient to make creditable aud COM
-prehenSive exhibit.
Mr.. Turrell was of the opinion that
the commissioners had done the best
thing possible under the circumstances,
and he hoped the bill would be recon-
mended for passage.
Mr.. Underleak;s amendment was
voted down, and then Mr.. Wyman's

THOSE POOL ROOMS.
Lively Scenes i'll the Committee of
the Whole.

the W nOic.
At 1920 the senate went into the CON-
mittee of the whole, with Senator Peer
son, S. d., in the chair Quite a num-
Der OF bills were passed by for the
nOnce because their authors were out
of their seats. The first measure taken
up was Senate File 60, an act relating
to loldiAg and unloading machinery at
station. The object of the bill is to
compel the railroads to build and MAIN
tain a platform Of certain size for hand
ling freight and agricultural machinery.
The size prescribed that it shall be not
less than thirty-two feet in length and
fourteen in width. Another provision
is that derrick shall be kept by the
railroad company for handling heavy
machinery. Senator Peterson called
Senator March 10 the chair, and intro.
duced an amendment striking out the
derrickS, and providing for a driveway
at only one end of the platform. and
Senator Glader, the author, moved to
amend so that the act shall only be
operative in villages Of $50 inhabitants.
The measure provoked an endless
amount of discussion by the senators
from the rural districts. The upshot
was to recommend to pass as ameuded.
Senator Deans pool bill was now
reached. and another sQuabble was i'm
minent. Senator O'Brien moved to re-
port progress, etc, and Senator Dean
protested against the adoption of the
motion. The motion was lost on tie
vote. J hen Senator O'Brien moved to
report an indefinite postponement OF the
measure. Senator Dean urged that if il
is the purpose to Kill the measure, the
motion may be proper, but he wished to
get the sentiment Of tie senate.
81 would like to ask the senator from
Ramsey" said Senator Leavitt. blandly,
elf it Is his understanding that the bill
is not still open to discussion, as though
this motion had not been made?"
Il understand thatit is still open to dis.

and he then proceeded to denounce poo
selling as form of gambling of the
most seductive and dangerous character
He diScianmed absolutely all personal
experience, but he maintained that al
the senators were more or less familiar
with The curse" through It's notoriety
He read an extract from the chamber o.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
The Senate Committee Grapples
With Several Problems.

Senator Peterson's committee on rail-
roads neld an all afternoon session.
Still, there was very little especially
new developed. He had up for consider
alton first the two rate bills that have
created so much stir in the past week or
so. They are the bills reducing the
freight rates in the state 25 per cent on
all things transported, and fixing the
rate for passenger traffic. Represent
atives of the different railroads affected
were present and urgently protested
against the adoption of such arbitrary
laws. 1t will be remembered that when
the bills first came before the senate the
constitutonality of the measure was
doubted, and to settle this matter they
