The DOnnelIy BilI COmpels the
Courts 10 Release Legislators.
Senator DOnnelly, together with the
entire legislature for that matter, is de-
termined to protect the individual MEM
berS of the coal combine investigating
committee from possible attack on the
part OF the combine or on part of the
courts. He introduced bill yesterday
covering Ihe point. 1t provides for the
abatement OF any action against mem
berS of the legislature for acts as mem-
beTS. When il was read, ii was made
special order for II o'clock. and then il
was taken up and amended in few
minor particulars and passed under 4
suspension of the rules. The bill, Sen
ator DOnnelly explained, had been
drafted by the attorney general, and it
included state officers as well as
legislators. This portion of the
bill was stricken out. Senator
Sanborn, who opposed certain other
coal combine matters, proved an advo-
cate of the measure. 1t WAS Senator
Leavitt who suggested the possibility
that it was going a step too far TO in
clude state officials, aud that it might
give dangerous powers. Senator Don
nelly was willing to accept the amend
ment. which was then moved by Sena-
tor Leavitt. Senator Sanborn wanted
the committee protected ana indemni-
fed. no matter if treSpaSS had been
committed. Butzhe suggested that the
bill should go TO the Judiciary commit
tee unless there was an emergency.
Senator DOnnelly expressed preference
for immediate action. The bill was
passed without negative vote.

MUCH WHEAT KILLED.
Little Will Be Harvested This
Year in Many Central Illi-
nois Counties.
Many Indiana Fields Will BE
Plowed Up and Planted to
Corn.

SPRINGFIELD, H., March 25.-The
state department of agriculture is still
without reports regarding the condition
of winter wheat, but from statements
made by farmer members of the legiS-
lature and others who come to the capi-
tai from all parts of the state there
seems to be no longer reason to doubt
that the crop Will be very short. The
ice that covered the earth for so long
a period during the winter, and the hard
freeze following thaw a week or ten
days ago have done their work, and
great areas of wheat have been killed
outright Some localities report dam
age only, but thousands of acres will
have to be plowed over as soon as the
ground will admit of it and sOwn TO other
crops. A member of the legislature
from Shelbycounty. himself an extensive
farmer, says there is no wheat left in his
county-all WAS winter-killed. A MEN,
Der from Clarke reports the same con-
dition in that county, and 1t is believed
that throughout the winter wheat belt
of Central Illinois there is little or no
announcement to look for any consider
able crop. Reports from the American
bottom are very discOuraging. Railroad
men who pass through the wheat belt
agree that the outlook is very dark.
Late rains have been beneficial in cases
where the crop is not absolutely killed,
but the most encouraging expression Is
that the area sown to wheat is spotted"
INDIANAPOLIS, March 25.-There has
been no change in the condition of the
winter wheat throughout Indiana with
in the past two weeks, with the eXcep-
tiOn that the warm rains have caused
the growth to assume healthier look.
and have shown some parts OF fields
where the stalk was supposed to be
dead to be still alive, and giving prom
iSe of growth with continuance or ia
vorable conditions. Where fields are
skirted by woods, and in bottoms where
the roots have not been washed by the
hard rain, in February, the stalk is
vigorous and healthy, but on rolling
lands the crop has been badly injured
and there is no prospect OF improve
ment, the roots having been killed by
the frosts: and many fields on this ac-
account will be plowe1 up and planted
in corn or oats.
JEFFERSON CITY, No, March 25.-
Spring rains, warm nights aud an
abundance of sunshine within the last
week have greatly improved the ap-
pearanee of wheat. Reports from the
western portion of the state are most
favorable, and very near full crOpiS
expected. The northern and western
portion of the Missouri river belt prom
ises above so per cent of yield, but
through the lower portion and III the
south and southeast the stand is thin,
and will reduce the average probably
above 20 per cent.

ACTION IN EJECTMENT
To Be Brought Against Marie New
ms Blaine.

New YORK, March 25.-Another step
to eject Mrs. Marie Nevlns Blaine and
her sick boy from the New York hote
was taken yesterday, when Bay &
Gambler, attorneys for the New York
Life Insurance and Trust company,
mortgages of the estate, filed notice
in the supreme court that they would
move on Monday for an order against
Henry Cranston, of the New York hotel,
compelling him to deliver the furniture
belonging to the hotel now beng used
by Mrs. Blaine. Mrs. Blaine occupies
apartments on the ground floor of the
southern side of the big building. She
was talking with DR.. Dillingham;, an
inspector of the board of health, when a
reporter called. DR.. Dillingham; had
just examined the cause of the trouble,
Mrs. Blaine's boy, and said that the
youngster. although getting along very
nicely, was still suffering from scarlet
fever. "As far as contagion is con-
cerned, though" said the doctor, ''the
boy is more to be feared at such stage
as this than at the earliest and more
erious periods Of his disease"

LAKE AND RAIL.
Proposed New Route From Duluth
to New York.


to New York.
NEW YORK, March 25.-The New
York, Ontario & Western railroad will
make an important departure at the
opening of navigation. 1t will establish
a lake line of steamers between OswegO,
New York and Duluth, and enter into
active competition with other through
trunk lines between the Seaboard and
the Northwest. President Fowler says
they expect to get all the traffic they
can carry both ways, which insures the
company profitable business from the
start. The line is organized primarily
to secure a share OF the big grain traffic
that comes eastward during the season
of navigation, but the new line will also
furnish the Ontario IL Western with a
good outlet for its coal business,
which is rapidly increasing. Every
westbound vessel will leave
Oswego. with full cargo of
anthracite coal, which will be distributed
over the Northwestern roads with
which they can make the best arrange
ments. The Ontario & Western is
building all elevator at Oswego with
capacity of 250,00O bushels for handling
the grain. Que thing in favor OF the
company is that it has altogether the
shortest rail haul of any OF the trunk
lines from the lake port to the seabOard.
The vessels are chartered and of neceS-
sary draught to pass the Welland canal.

The Reapportionment Bill

day Next.
Both Houses Rush Through

bine Defense.
A Bill TO Compel Local Chi

The Day Rather Uneventful
in Both Legislative
Houses.

The investigation into the methods of
the coal combine is really the great is
sue before the legislature. The course
of Judge Brill, and the fact that Judge
Ecan carried the other case to trial,
prompted Senator Donnelly to intro
duce bill Yesterday that compels the
court to straightway abate such cases.
1t is thought TO be a far-reaching meas
ure so far, indeed, as to annul the
damage suit brought by Rhodes against
members Of The committee. But this
was not the only action taken. The
Greer emergency bill, passed by the
house, was reported just before adjourn
ment until tomorrow and passed under
suspension of the rules.
y sincere effort was made to dispose
of the Leavitt bill proposing con
stitutional amendment to tax iron ore.
it was discussed for two hours in the
committee Of the whole, but it could not
be carried 10 a final issue. Senator
Alien and Senator Daugherty believe
the measure discriminates not only
against the interests OF the miners but
against the counties that they represent.
and they made such strenuous efforts
that progress was reported and the bill
will be taken up again tomorrow.

TO TAN ORE.
The First and Only Extended De-
bate Yesterday.

The First and OnIy Extended De-
bate Yesterday.
Senator Leayitt's bill taxing mining,
telephone. telegraph, electric light and
other companies aroused a forensic dis
play in the senate yesterday morning.
The author. in 4 clear and concise
speech, moved to strike out the words
telephone companies wherever they ap-
peared in the bill. lie did this III con-
formitv with the best judgment of a
good many people of the larger cities.
The feeling is, he held, that telephone
companies ale local Institutions, and for
that reason should not come under the
restrictions of the act. This amendment
met with no opposition, but Senaler
Davis added boom companies, and sup
ported ms amendment by explaining
that he had been reliably informed that
the boom companies, with little visible
property, do all enormous business.
They practically exempt taxation. Mr..
Leavltt had no objections to the amend
ment. Senator Davis believed in
this system of taxing all COM
panieS doing public business.
But Senator Stevens made an
eloquent plea for eXempting the tele-
phone companies. He reiterated the
testimony had before the Judiciary com
mittee upon the Davis bill, and then
Senator McIiale suggested that the pro-
visions Of the bill might work a hard
ship in another direction. He believed
in gross earnings taxes, but he did not
believe in taxing companies for the
money paid out 10 employees except IN
the case of railroads, where special
immunitieS are given by the state.
After the telephone companies had been
stricken from the bill Senator LeaVitt
mOTed an amendment so as to tax the
mining companies five cents ton on all
iron ore mined, and he followed this
with a powerful and argumentatIVe
speech. Senator DOherty replied
briefly but earnestly. He Insisted
that the act would cripple the
iron industry, which is now
he urged. doing business on narrow
margin. The price of ore has reduced
from Sl4 a ton to 81, and he predicted
that soon the ore will have to be laid
down in Cleveland for $3.50 a ton, cut
ting the profits until there will be very
little money in the business. Senator
Allen argued that three cents a ton is
high tax and should the amount be
raised to five cents it will drive mining
companies. out OF the business.
Senator Leayitt cited as an illustra-
ton that the Minnesota Iron company
has a capitalization of S22, 100000 and
that 1t pays a 8 per cent dividend upon
It. \ tax on the output. he held, is the
only way to reach the matter, but Sena-
tor Dean disapproved of the proposed
change and he made an eloquent plea
for encouraging the newer industries
of the state. The amendment was
adopted however. and then Senator
Daugherty moved to amend so as to
provide that One-half the tax be paid to
the county treasures of the county from
which the ore is taken, and this in turn
was combatted by Senator DOnneEy and
Senator LeaYitt. They held that one
fourth or One-third should be sufficient.
Senator Ia wney here took the floor and
eloquently supported The amendment,
but before arriving at any conclusion
the committee arose and reported prog

permitted by professor to look at the
contents of one OF these precious man
uscrlpts. Among the many important
experiences which the university has
passed through are these: 1t has been
blessed by the holy benedictionS of
a pope, patroniZed by a ruler of
the Holy Roman empire and en-
dowed by long line of German princes.

tantism in the time Of the Reformation,

Turks have sacked its corridors, French
have carted away its books and con-
world the famous Heidelberg cat
echism, and it was here in 1913 that the
notable assembly met which led to the
German revolution of that year.
1t has, as Will be seen, had some very
exciting times. but it has pulled through
very successfully, and in every respect
save one has shOwna considerable spirit
of progress. This exception is the mem
sur, which is barbarism pure and simple,
and the fact that these gentle students
of the foremost university in Germany
are attached 10 it as strongly today as
they were many years ago shows what
a powerful thing custom is. If any
student at Heidelberg were to suggest
that the mensur be abandoned he would

Seventy-seven thousand miles of rail-
way in the states west of the Mississippi
are connected with the Texas system,
which terminates at this bay. Hence,
competing rates are certain to be made
south instead of east. This means
much for the development of the West,
and it means even more for the individ
