g The Trust Is Once More
Weakly Struggling.
Grattan Bill Is Before the
State Senate.
LEIDY OPENS FIGHT.
Wants the Maximum Prices Re-
moved Entirely.
Companies Could Then Charge
More For Books.

The Grattan text book biz came up ia
the senate this morning and started the
expected trouble. Every effort was made
by the friends of the bill to get it
through without any material amend
ments-
Senator Codding offered the first
amendment which provided that in case
books suitable could not be obtained at
the prices set by the bill that an in
crease of TX per cent in the price could
be paid.
Senator Householder objected to that
or any amendment 1T is a good bill
as it stands and should not be changed
and no leeway should be given to pub
lishers''
Senator Leidy offered an amendment
to the amendment which would do
away with a maximum rate. Il am OPP
posed to maximum rates both
on school books and railroads. You Re
publican senators are all opposed to
maximum rates of railroads, and you
should be on school books He then
went after the books at present in use
and claimed they are poor. He called
attention to errors in the books and said
that 1t injured the children. What diff
ference does 8 cents a copy amount to
when our chi1dren's education is the
question considered % The amendment
offered by Senator Ieidy gives the COM
mission more latitude in the purchase Of
the books. 1t allows them to pay for
school books at a rate not more than this
lowest price paid for the same books in,
any state. When he touched on the his
tory now used in the school he was ap-
plauded by the senators and the lobby
Senator Smith opposed the maximum
rate. He wanted the rate either raised
or abolished so that better books could
be purchased. He favored state uniform
ity and referred to the school book bill
as a relic of the days when corruption
was rampant in the state house We
should leave it to the commissioners to
purchase books and bind them only By
the lowest rate for which they are sold
elsewhere. If we can not do away with
the maximum rates we should kill the
bill even if we do lose state uniformity"
After Senator Smiths speech the sen.
ate adjourned for dinner

HAS A CLOSE GALL.
Cofeyville Court Bill Gets Through
House by Narrow Margin

The Coneyville court bill had a serious
time squeezing through in the house to-
day. The hall was locked up tight for
three-quarters of an hour while the
sergeant-at-arnls rounded up absentees
and Dooley, of Montgomery. the author
scurried around among his friends to Sc
cure changes of votes enough to save it,
On the first roll-call it had only As votes.
1t was finally brought up to a vote of
Sc to As. a constitutional majority
Members from counties having two or
more large towns and which may in
future have aspirations for double
courts, helped support it.
The CoffeYville city court, If the
Dooley bill becomes a law, win have
concurrent jurisdiction with the district
court. It will have skinner juries, yet
appeals from it are to the supreme court.
Stephen Cave, in explaining his neg
alive vote, made the point that 1t was
unjust for the city Of Coffeyville to elect
a judge from its precincts who would be
empowered to try cases from all over the
county. Cave also remarked the sig
aificarce in Mr.. Dooley's recent state
snent that the people of his city had
never observed the prohibitory law and
never would he prohibition element
also opposed the bill stTenuously on
these grounds that this court was being
given large powers and strengthening
the city's power to defy the prohibition
law.

keepers, a brother of Congressman J. M

selection as private secretary to the gov
ernor began to leak out, the jokers af-
fected to believe that y. r.. Miller was
the fortunate individual They took
him mysteriously to one side, because
change, and offered congratulations.
Miller is a serious man and incapable Of
a joke. He was accepting the reports for
truth and was not pleased about it at
all. He does not know the governor and
had never been spoken to by him on the
subject but he believed it. It did not
suit him and he was indignant.
It's simply an attempt to shelVe me, -
he said. They know / want to go to
Washington and they want to get me
out Of the way" Miller aspires to be a
doorkeeper at the national house of rep
resentatives
