Indianapolis, March The physi-
claus bill was up for second reading
/ today and radically amended 1t was a
vicious bill as first drawn and as 1t
passed the senate, in that it made 1t un-
lawful for even the trained nurse to 6d
minister to the sick. IL also would have
excluded ali proprietary medicines and
deDied personal liberties in many par
culsr school Of physicians. The house
amended it such that the objectionsl
| features were removed and IL is likely
that the bill will pass. The physicians
are not so well satisfied with the bill as
they were before the house amend
meDts were adopted, but from the
standpoint of the people in general, it
is much more satisfactory.

The South Bend charter bill was

house this morning. Representative

cans of the house. Every time you
have had chance" he said, "you have
betrayed the interests of the people.

right of self-government. You have
passed bill, at the behest OF the straw
board companies, taking away from
private property the right to
bring damage suits. You propose in
this bill another game of peanut poll
ties
The senate passed the Cooper anti
trust bill yesterday by vote of % to Z.
Three republicans voted against it.
They were Senators Agnew, Dausman
and Brooks. Most of the democrats
were in their seats, but refused to vote.
This nearly broke the quorum, but the
president of the senate ordered the
clerk to note on the record that Sena-
tors Corr and CregOr were present and
refused TO vote. Before the vote was
taken, Sanator Inman, the democratic
leader. rose, and, shaking a handful of
amendments, tried TO get recognition,
but the chair recognized Senator Gard,
which was adopted.
"This senate will not be republican
two years hence. Mark my wOrdr A re-
publican labor leader made this remark
while looking over the senate from the
east lobby. He continued: 1.-The house
has treated labor interests fairly. Here
1t is not so. The next senate will be
democratic. They are throttling or
destroying our best measures by amend
ment. They think the commission to
codify the mining laws will be sop for
US, and that we were anxious to have
the bill passed to give an additional
mining inspector. We care little OF
nothing about those bills. What the
| thousands of miners in this state want
is the bill regulating Sh0t.fring. That
bill would protect their lives. They
have just killed the eight-hour bill we
wanted. They will kill the miners
shot-iiring bill. Yesterday they as
good as killed the bill to prevent con-
tract by which an emplOye signs away
his right to recover damages before the
injury occurs. Indian ,pois Press.
