TURKEY DINNER AND POETRY.
Attractions offered by womcn's For-
eign Missionary Society.

The turkey dinner given last night
by the Woman's Foreign Missionary
society Of Elm Park church was char
acterized by the most elaborate menu
ever served in that place. 1t was
under the direction of the president,
Mrs. G. d. Simpson. Mrs. William
Connell Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. G. B.
Scott received the visitors. The tables
were beautifully decorated and many
patrons were present.
Much was expected of the unique en-
tertainment to be held later. under the
auspices Of the society, with Mrs. Gift
fin as director. AS previously an
nounced, all members of the church
We're expected to earn q dollar and
contribute the same to the society's
funds, together with a rhyme or verse
describing the manner in which the
money was acquired. The results far
exceeded the anticipation even of Mrs.
Gittin, who was most enthusiastic con-
cerning the enterprise.
Nobody was allowed to escape. If
he did not repeat the required rhyme
he had to contribute an extra quarter,
and while many were glad to get off
thus easily, large number prepared
the desired poetry Some Of it was
of surprising excellence. Many of the
effusuns showed marks of careful con-
struction and were correct in meter
and rhythm All told more or less sue
cinctly of labor spent in earning the
money.
The majority of the ladies seemed to
have been employed in pressing Creases
into the trousers of their husbands and
sons during the past week, as many
told of this occupation. one earned
her dollar by not attempting to per-
form this feat, as her husband had a
previous experience with her ideas of
a conventional crease and was obliged
to walk pigeon-toed in order to live
up To those Creases.
The snug sum of $l0l was realized
from the poetry scheme which does
not include $50 from the dinner The
affair was distinct success. DR.. j.

j. 7. Porter We're the judges and award
ed the palm of merit to Mrs. II. D.

THE IDEA SUGGESTED.

Miss Lees, who has been the leading
spirit in the present movement. got her
ideas originally from an address de-
livercd here several years ago during
teachers institute by Professor
George Phillips, of the West Chester
Normal school. Last summer Miss
Lees was i'm West Chester and Ches-
ter and studied the subject carefully.
After many conferences with Professor
Phillips and j. A. G.. Campbell, cash
ior of the Delaware County Trust and
Safe Deposit company, Miss Lees re-
turned to Scranton and with Superin-
tcndent Hrwelrs endorsement has per-
fcctcd her plans.

House Odds and Ends.

Mr.. Feig rather heartlessly placed Mr..
Johns on record yesterday on the bill against
trusts. The bill introduced by Mr.. Johns was
amended to suit the organized labor people,
and in that form was undoubtedly favored by
the author. The amendment annexed by the
labor people was ruthlessly stripped off by
the farmers. whereupon Mr.. Johns quietly
voted no. Before the vote was announced
Mr.. Feig asked the speaker how Mr.. Johns
voted. II will explain how Mr. Johns voted"
said the gentleman himself. ''I voted no.
My real sentiments are yes. I change my
vote to yes. Now 1 have fulfilled all my
promises" And with that he sat down.
Judging from the slovenly manner in which
a number of bills are drawn, it is evident that
a great many members Of the house are ig-
norant Of the fact that under the Sheehan
amendment adopted some time ago, there are
but three classifcatons of cities which may
be cited in bills. Here they are and these
alone: Less than Is. 900, over $4,000 and less
than $4,000, and over $4,000. Therefore all
bills applying to cities over 75, 900 or over
100. 900, or any other old figure are irregularly
drawn and may be thrown out of considera-
ton.
The joint fish and game committee resumed
its meeting in a senate committee room last
night and continued the hearing commenced
the night before. A number of fishermen
were heard. and such of their information as
was found available will be Incorporated in
the new game and fish laws which are be-
Ing prepared.

ANTITRUST BILL PASSED.
Little Opposition Develops in the
House Against 1t.

The house passed the Johns anti
trust bill, after having stricken out
section f. which provided that it
should not apply to agricultural pro-
ducts and live stock in the hands of
the producers nor to labor organiza-
lions meeting in orderly and peacable
assemblies for the purpose of regu-
lating wages. The vote was unexpect-
eddy large for the bill, only sixteen
members having voted against it and.
If it becomes law, it promises to be
one OF the historic acts of the present
session, because it clearly applies to all
organizations and bears on the right of
labor organiza tons in the matter of
regulating wages. Judge Hicks, OF
Hennepin; Mr.. Feig of Kandiyohi: Mr.
Jacobson, of Lac qui Parle, and Mr..
Cray, of Hennepin, practically admit
ted the claim of the other side. that
the law would cover labor organiza-
the vote against all sorts of combina-
tions, including labor organization, was
prompt and decisive
There was really no opposition to
the bill upon its merits; it was only
the bearing upon the right Of labor
to organize which was discussed. The
house wrangled for two hours over the
proposition, and it is now ready for
consideration in the senate.
The bill Oh. F. 90) was introduced
early in the session by Mr.. Johns. He
said it was a copy Of the Georgia law
and that it had been upheld by the
courts. 1t was promptly reported out
to committee for passage. but remained
on general orders and finally set for
consideration yesterday. 1t came I'D
and at the request Of the labor or
CARNATIONS he introduced an amend
ment to section T. which added labor
organizations to the exception from the
operation of the measure.
But when there was opposition to
this amendment on the part Of Judge
Hicks. MIR. Won Lehe and one or two
others. Johns abandoned the measure
which he had fathered up to this time
and the fight for the bill and for the
amendment relating to labor organiza-
tons was made by Mr. Dahl, of Hen
nepin, and Mr.. Douglas. The AZ
tempt to strike out section was de-
feated when the bin came up on com
mittee Of the whole. This was the
status of the bill when 1t came up yes
terday
When the hill was reached on the
calendar Mr. Feig made a rnotion tn
re-refer the bill to general orders. Ha
e%nlained that he wished TO move To

WANTS 1T APPOINTIVE.
More Republicans Would Then BE
Made .CorOners

Representative Johns is the faith
ef OF a bill Oh. F. 701) which seeks
10 bring the medical profession into
politics, and make the duties now per-
termed by coroner elected by the
people one Of the pieces Of political
patronage appertaining to the COVER
norsh1p. The cause Of the bill seems to
pe that the law relating to the duties
OF coroners is not clearly worked out
In the statutes, and certain politician
doctors want to create an office in each
county to be known as the medical
examiner. to be appointed by the gov
ernor and serve five years The law
also provides that inQuests shall be
held by judges of the district, or mu-
nlcipal court or by justices of the
peace. That portion of the present
law which makes the coroner the high
est officer of the county is repealed
and the law confers certain additional
powers upon the sheriff and creates
an Official first deputy sheriff.
