IOWA LEGISLATURE ENDS.
Closing Acts Of the Twenty-Ninth

alton Measures.

Des Moines, Ia, April 14.-The ses-
sion of the Twenty-ninth general as
sembly of Iowa closed at s:15 Fri
day evening, though officially it is
supposed to have adjourned at noon.
The delay was caused by the tardy
action of the committee on enrolled
bills. The st. Louis exposition APP
preparation bill narrowly escaped de-
feat through inability of the con-
ferees to agree, but the house finally
receded and the bill was passed, car
rying $125,Oo0. A bill was passed re-
quiring the state executive council to
fix the tax levy in 1902 to raise s2,-
100000, and in 1908 to raise 81, 900, 900.
This, it is estimated, will require o
four-mill levy on the present assess
ment. The extraordinary appropria-
tons for the ensuing biennial period
were $1,6oo,oo0. The session enacted

RAILROADS MAKE A MOVE.
Attorneys of President HIN Begin Az.
tion In the Ramsey District
Court at st. Paul.

st. Paul, Mimi. April 14.-The first
move Of the various interests con-
cerned in the railway merger as
against the suit instituted by the state
of Minnesota in the Ramsey district
court has been taken by President
Hills attorneys.
They have served notice upon Attor-
ney General Douglas of motion to
vacate service in the summons and
complaint of the state OF Minnesota
against the Northern Securities COM
pany and against President James j.
Hill, of that corporation, and Of the
Great Northern road.
The motion will come before the
Ramsey district court for argument
one week from Saturday. 1t will be
heard at special term of court. Just
which one Of the members OF the Ram
sey bench will preside has yet to be
determined.
The motion of the railways win be
based on the claim that the Northern
Securities company is New Jersey
corporation, and as such outside the
jurisdiction OF the Minnesota courts.
1t will also be argued that James j.
HilPs residence in this state is mere
ly personal, and as such he is not
amenable to the laws in the case as he
would be under normal conditions. !.
The argument on next Saturday will
not affect the main question as stated
in the bill of complaint filed by the
attorney general.
