EXPERIMENTS WITH FOOD.
Student Scaled Up i'm an Albright
Glass Case for Ten Days.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, March S.-John
Christy Ware, the Wesleyan student, from
Allendale. n. j., who is Professor O. +.
Atwater's favorite subject in connection
with food experiments, conducted in an
air-tight glass case known as the respira-
ton calorimeter has just come out from
his third and longest period of 'imprison-
ment." The first time he remained in the
box six days. The second time he was
locked in 1t for nine. This time he was
sealed up on Feb. %. and remained in ten
days. The experiments now being con-
Quoted have TO do with the food values OF
such articles of diet as one would naturally
get at his club. They are much more
agreeable to the subject than the nine-day
experiments. in which tests were made
with foods containing a large proportion of
carbO-hydrates-starchy foods, in short.
Ware has gained a little in weight and is
as fine a specimen of an athlete as can be
found in the college. No conclusions have
yet been reached regarding the relative
values OF the foods tested. nor will any be
made public until the -mathematicians have
worked out 10 their logical result the
figures submitted TO them. This will be
some months hence.

A Majority of the Conferees Favored
the Senate Bill and the House
Endorsed the Report.
TELEPHONE BILL Is KILLED
SENATE VOTED TO INDEFINITELY
POSTPONE THE MEASURE.
Considerable Confusion in Both
Observation-Disclosures News and
Gossip of Interest.

When the Legislature adjourned yester-
day evening it was understood that both
houses were through passing bills. In the
House not more than a half dozen bills
remained on the speakers desk when the
members adjourned about 6 o'clock. to meet
again at 10 this morning. One of the bills
was the Senate measure appropriating $1,000
for a monument in memory of the heroes
of the Pigeon Roost massacre. None of
the other bills was of special Importance.
In the Senate a few bills were left over.
One of the important acts Of the House
yesterday was the adoption of the Senate
amendment to House bill No. 40 (primary
election bill.) This amendment is the
measure introduced by Senator Joss. The
House in the morning killed Senator Ag-
lew bill providing for a separation of the
Industrial School for Girls and Woman's
Prison, and in the afternoon unfavorabiy
considered Senator Goodwine's bill looking
to the same end. The Goodwine bill was
introduced in the Senate and passed in the
afternoon, and was then sent over to the
House. An effort was made to have the
rules suspended and the bill passed, but
the effort failed. The Democrats, with
four exceptions, voted against a PROPOSE
ton to suspend the rules, and two of the
Republicans voted with them.
Both sessions of the Legislature were
attended by more or less confusion, and
the session was especially noisy in the
House during the afternoon. Several times
Speaker Altman had 10 call the members
TO order and urge them to take their seats.
One of the incidents of the morning in the
House was when Representative James, "a
member Of the minority, was Kissed when
he arose TO speak.

THE BILL.
1t Il Not that 1t VIII BE-
come n Law.

1t is extremely probable that the bill
pacing Marion county's surveyor on a sal
airy will not become a law. AS originally
introduced in the House the bill provided
for a salary of 81. 800 a year, with an allow
ance for office expenses. h bill was
passed by the Senate and was then sent to
the Governor. Later Representative Nor
gan, who introduced the bill in the House.
offered a motion to the effect that the
House ask the Governor to return the bill
for correction" Mr.. Morgan said his pUr-
rose i'm having the bill sent back was 60
cut down the salary. as IL had been dis
covered that the surveyor would receive too
much pay under the provisions OF the bin.
The measure came back 10 the Senate, and
that body reduced the salary TO s.. 400. and
also reduced the office expenses. When the
kill came TO the House a day or two ago
from the Senate the amendments were con
CURED in. Yesterday Representative Oster-
meyer moved that the vote by which the
amendments were concurred I'm be recon-
sidered. as he believed the figures named
IN the bill should be further reduced. Mr..

OPPOSED TO FIREMEN'S BILL.
w. S. McMilIen, of the Board of Safety,
Talks.

You can put me down on record as be-
the pay Of indianapolis iremen." said w.
S. McMillen. the Republican member Of
the Board of Safety. yesterday afternoon.
Another member of this board has said
that there are a few features in the bill
that he does not commend" continued Mr..
McMillen, ''but L will go farther and say
the entire bill does not meet with my APP
prevail. In the first place the members of
the legislature had no right to enact such
legislation in straight violation Of the city
charter provisions, which grant the City
Council entire power TO regulate the salar-
les of city employees. The out-of-town
legislators are not acquainted with the con-
ditions in Indianapolis and are not capable
of governing such conditions. What do
men from Brown county and other coun-
ties know about the city's ability to in
crease the pay of its iremen and whether
or not they are well paid? And why should
they want to discriminate against other
city employees, especially the policemen?
IF the Legislature is going to enact such
laws fail to see the need OF having a
city charter. The principle of the law is
wrong to begin with and the members of
the Legislature who reside in this city
and county never stopped to investigate
II before voting for il. / believe that a
man should vote against bills when he has
not had time TO investigate them. 1 hope
Governor Durbin vetoes the bill, although
in face of the fact that IL was passed by
such a large majority, those who are now
opposed to it should not shift the respon-
sibility TO him and censure him if he signs
the measure"
Mr.. McMillen said he learned yesterday
that many business men who have just
had their eyes opened TO what the fire.
mems bill means are now asking Governor
Durbin TO veto the bill.

A SENSATIONAL INCIDENT.
There was something of a sensation in
the House at the morning session when the
bill introduced by Senator Agnew propos-
ing TO separate the Industrial School for
Girls and Woman's Prison, came up on Sec
ond reading. Representative Davis of
Greene county. VINO had introduced a
similar bill in the House which had been
indefinitely postponed, made a speech, in
which he denounced Mr.. James. who had
opposed his bill. He alluded TO Mr.. James
as my bipartisan friend from Putnam
When Mr.. James got up 10 reply. the
speaker recognized him as 1.-The double
gentleman from Putnam" AS Mr.. James
began TO speak he was greeted with a
storm of Kisses that came from his own
side of the House. He spoke in favor of the
compliments to Representative Davis. He
said he believed his people would indorse
his action in this Legislature. MIR.
Speaker" he said, II have not been here
to force politics-and peanut politics-on
this House. L ave not been here with any
Populistic theories and ideas. but l have
been here voting for and working for re-
suits and L want to say that to a large
extent / have been successful and that is
why my people will indorse me-"
On motion of Mr.. Statesman the enact
ing clause was stricken out of the bill. 1t
was his opinion and that of others who OPP
posed the measure that there was not time
enough TO consider IL and it ought not to
be rushed through in this manner.

A bill introduced in the interests OF the
commissioners of De kalb county was We
toed by the Governor yesterday. The bill
sought to give them a salary of $500 a year.
The Governor, in his remarks on the bill.
pointed out that the Constitution prohibits
local or special laws in relation to fees or
salaries. He further said: This, not be-
ing an amendment Of a general law on the
subject. is clearly a violation OF the con-
stitutional provision. But. independent Of
this question, the general Law fixing the
salaries of commissioners ought 10 stand
tor sufficient time TO determine the in
equalities, il any there be, In the salaries
of the various boards of commissioners"
The Governor mentioned the fact that two
years ago the Legislature. by a general act,
fixed the salaries of all the boards of coun-
~ commissioners in the State.

1t has been stated that Governor Durbin
would receive no more bills from the Legis-
lature for his signature after last night at
u o'clock. There was no authority for such
statement, as the Governor has refused to
say what he will do in this regard. He
has the right by the Constitution TO refuse
to receive bills two days before the ad-
journment of the General Assembly. but
whether he will taxi advantage OF this or
not is not known. Governor Durbin re-
manned behind closed doors for the greater
part of yesterday. considering bills. There
were no callers admitted TO see him all
afternoon, and the Governor remained at
his office until late last night. He will an
nounce to-day whether or not he will re-
ceive any more bills.

1t is hoped that the county treasurer will
look after the thousands OF men who are
assessed for poll tax and nothing else.
Very much the larger part of those as
sessed for poll tax are single men. who are
better able TO pay n small tax than are
hundreds of men with families who are as
sessed for a few household goods. Every
voter OF the money-earning age should be
compelled 10 pay something to support To-
cal government. 1t is no credit to a city for
its controller TO say that three-ffths of its
voters pay no taxes.

The Brooks Expires. Bill.

Secretary Of State Union Il. Hunt has
announced his intention of taking steps TO
enforce the provisions of the Brooks ex-
press law, which requires express COM
panies to pay incorporation fees to the
full amount OF their capitalization. II the
law is held TO be constitutional IL is
thought the State will receive between
$4,000 and $50 600 in fees. Previous TO the
passage OF the Brooks law there was no
law in the State requiring the large COM
panies now doing business in Indiana to
file articles of Incorporation.
1t is expected that the express companies

before they Will consent TO incorporate in
the State.

voters will be paying taxes in the course
of a year or two. Aside from the city's
necessity for the money, it is better that
all persons who receive the benefits of good

upon the theory that the thing called gov

that the bill might be amended further.
Chairman King OF the ways and means

should have been appropriated for two Of
the hospitals for the insane had been left
out OF the bill by mistake. He asked the
House not TO concur in the Senate amend
ments so that a conference committee
might add the additional appropriations.
Messrs. King and Cravens were appointed
on the committee from the House. These
additional appropriations were on account
OF bills for the year 1900 being paid out OF
the appropriation for 1901. One was TO re-
imburse the appropriation for maintenance
for the Northern Hospital for the Insane
for 1901 in the sum Of $,1i5.99. Another
was to reimburse the repair fund Of the

the ignoring Of all the rights that in the
North are accorded to human beings. For
the outrages which whites commit upon
colored women with impunity the colored

Such is the result of Tillmanism in South

to be capable Of maintaining popular gov

not capable of exercising the rights of suf-

DINA deprive half the population of that
State of every safeguard against injus-

manism. Tillman represents the Southern
leadership of the Democratic party, and
was selected by the last Democratic ma
tional convention to read its platform and
move its adoption. To-day Tillmanism has
relegated the negroes in South Carolina to
a serfdom as hopeless as that OF Russian
workers before they were given their free
dom. In the world there is not a civilized
or semi-civilized people that is so entirely
without protection under the laws as are
the negroes of South Carolina.

the amount Of capital they have invested

The railroad companies maintain that the

of taxation, as they are compelled TO pay
on the full amount OF their capitalization

The taxpayers of indianapolis have one
consolation. and that is that the Legisia-
ture cannot increase salaries again without
repeating the provision of the charter
which limits the city levy to 30 cents on the
800 Of taxables. At the rate the expendi-
lures have been increasing under the Tag
CART regime there was no call for the Leg
~islature to assist the city administration in
increasing the burdens of taxation, which
fall more heavily upon thousands of men
struggling to secure homes than upon any
other class.
