Bill That Proposed Radical Inno-
vation In Illinois school Laws.

SPRINGFIELD, H., May 13.-Governor
Yates to-day vetoed a bill providing for
the consolidation of the school districts of
county into one district and for free
transportation OF pupils TO and from school.
His principal objection TO the bill is that
the title fails to disclose the essential fea-
ture of the measure which he character
izes as a radical innovation in the school
laws of Illinois-taxation to transport chill
dren TO and from school. He expresses his
fear that the latter proposition did not
receive that full consideration which is de-
sirable in a change that is OF such impor-
tance. The Governor says also that the
bin is open 10 the long-established objec-
ton that determinations invalidate legis-
lation. the bill preventing "all except rural
territory" and all districts that exceed
1000 population" from taking advantage
of it's provisions. and excluding "all chill
dren living one mile less from a school
house" from deriving any benefit from the
money raised by the taxation OF their dis
triet.

RETURN OF B. N. BAKER
PRESIDENT OF THE ATLANTIC
TRANSPORT LINE AT NEW YORK.
Says the Purchase Of the LeyIand
Line VIII Make His Company
the Largest in the World.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-President Bernard
N Baker of the Atlantic Transport line,
arrived here from London last night on
the steamship Minneapolis. He went 10
England a short time ago for the pur-
pose of securing, through the aid Of j.
+. Morgan, the consolidation of the Atlantic
transport and Leyland lines, the fleets of
which will next year aggregate 100000 TONS
Should the deal be consummated the COM
bined lines will be the largest in the
world. Mr.. Baker comes back for the
purpose of attending the wedding of his
daughter Marguerite and Thomas B. Har-
rison, of Baltimore.
In an interview he said: 1.-The tonnage
OF the Leyland line is now about $50. 900
tons and the vessels they are building
or have contracted for will make an in
crease of 100000 tons or an aggregate
of 450, 900 tons in all. The present
tonnage of the Atlantic Transport line
is about 10000 tons and the vessels build
ing and contracted for will measure nearly
100000 tons. or roughly 25O.eOO tons in all.
This would make an aggregate tonnage,
were the two lines combined. OF over 100000
TONS The Hamburg American line would
be the next, with $4,000 tons, and the
North German Lloyd third, with its 10000
tons.

Lee is aid to have been most desperate
man. and he lost his life after he had made
an assault on Herrick. Four shots were
fired, all of which took effect in Lees body.
He had been confined in the punishment
cell in the hospital and attacked the officer
while the latter was listening to his appeal
to be transferred to another cell. Herrick
was struck with piece of iron. but sue
ceeded in retaining his senses and strength.
He pursued Lee. fring four shots at him
altogether After the last shot Lee fell to
the floor and was dead within a few min
utes. The officer was commended for his
bravery. None of the prisoners outside Of
the hospital knew of the occurrence.
Lee was sentenced from ST. Joseph coun-

Warden Shideler, of the State Prison,
last night gave the following statement of
the trouble over the long-distance tele-

night while sitting at my desk attending TO
correspondence the night captain came
hurriedly to my Office and said there was
serious trouble at the hospital The deputy
warden was called and he and myself
hurried over to the hospital. Reaching
there we found that officer Herrick had
been asked by prisoner James Lee, who
was in the punishment cell. to be trans
ferred to another cell owing to water in
one of the closets overfiowing. The officer
opened the door and was truck by piece
of iron which had been torn from the tram
som of the cell. Not succeeding in telling the
officer by the first blow, Lee struck him
second time Blinded by the force of the
blow and blood, Herrick drew his revolver
and shot the desperate twice. Lee turned
and ran into the hospital hall, the Of
ficer following him and firing as he ran.
He succeeded in catching up with Lee.
and second encounter took place. The
negro was shot a third time. Turning
he ran up stairs. The officer followed
and shot him a fourth time. This time
the negro fell, dying in ten minutes, death
having overtaken him just as the deputy
warden and myself reached the room.

ter. and had threatened TO kill Officer
Beatty, of the dollhouse. officer Herrick
was commended for his heroic fight with
one of the most desperate men in the
prison.

OF District Is, of the National Association

cerning the proposed strike. There is lit

said, that the strike will actually take
place, but the employers have until Satur-
day next TO come TO our terms That is the
last working day. The machinists alone
who will be called out will number 10000.
but all trades depending on the machinists
for their tools will be brought to a stand
still. An erroneous opinion prevails that
this strike will mean the practical stoppage
of all work on public buildings and great
contracts like the rapid transit subway. II
will do nothing OF the kind. In this section
about ten thousand OF our men will be af-
