TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 17.-Both houses
were called to order shortly after 10
O'Clock this morning. After separate
prayers had been offered for each of the
two houses, Hon. F. j. Close, Governor
dwellings, private secretary, appeared
and presented the message. After the
title of the message was read, a motion
was adopted that 700 copies of the mes
sage be printed and further reading be
dispensed with. The message was some
what different from the inaugural address,
being more conservative in tone. After
dealing with matters OF local interest, the
governor referred to the prohibition
question, saying so long as a prohibi-
tory law existed he would enforce
it. Upon the question of mortgages and

Majority and Minority Reports Will Ac-
company the New Bill to the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Mr. Patterson
of Tennessee, in his report of the majority
of the house commerce committee on the
bill allowing pooling, says: ''The COM
mittee is of opinion that under the ar
rangement provided for pooling no harm
will befall the public and opportunity
will be given to intelligently solve the
much mooted problem. Lind OF Mime
sofa and Mallory OF Florida represent the
minority and in their report they feel in
duty bound to protest against the pooling
section OF the bill and call attention to
some of their objections to it. They say:
the bill takes away the only safeguard we
had heretofore against railroad extortion,
the competition of water routes is frus-
trated and many well laid schemes to OPP
press the public; the bill removes the
annual million dollar bonus to the Pacific
Mail Steamship company to refrain from
competition and may hereafter be paid in
pursuance of law. In conclusion it is
said to be unfair to the Interstate COM
merce commission to subject them to the
import and pressure this bill will entail
should it become law.
