calls it bliss" amendment, and is
quite lengthy. One Of his objections
to this is as follows: This amendment
is no part of municipal ownership
act, but is a street railway act pure
and simple, and is intended to enlarge
the powers of, and to secure to, exist
ing street railway companies rights
that they do not now possess. Under
the present law (assuming the ninety
nine-year act to be invalid or inopera-
tive except on a small portion of the
existing lines) by the first of next Au-
gust the rights of the existing street
car companies in Chicago will termi-
nate. After that date their tracks have
no right to remain in the streets. On
that date the city has the right to or
der said tracks taken up, and from
that date the city is empowered to
name the conditions upon which it
shall grant ordinances.
Under the Bliss amendment, if
the city of Chicago should next month
grant to the existing companies new
ordinances for twenty years in order
to secure municipal ownership by pur-
chase under the Mueller bill it must

Incident at the Closing Session of the
House of Representatives.
Springfield, Ills, May 9.-At 1915
a. IN. on the closing night of the
house of representatives there was a
connection on the Democratic side that
for a moment promised physical
combat. Tippit had been hit several
times with paper wads, and becoming
enraged he jumped to his feet, picked
up a chair, and threw it in the direc-
ton from which the wads had come.
The chair struck PattisOn.
He began protesting vigorously and
excitedly at Tippit. The latter, who
realized that he had struck the wrong
man. attempted TO apologize, but Pat
tison declared that no apology would
be accepted. Speaker Shanahan at

as the record shows without n ais
senting vote At the last convention
of the state Fedora ton of Labor the
efforts of that body were concentrated
on the work OF securing repeal of the
existing system of employing convicts
in the penitentiaries of the state, and
q committee was selected to wait on
the legislature and urge its passage.
Several bills relating to the sub
ject were introduced in the house and
senate and finally Il compromise was
reached on the bill which passed both
branches of Tie general assembly with
ont negative vote. This law. which
becomes effective July l, 1904 s. $

measure recommended by the National
Industrial commission, and is the most
advanced legislation of the kind any
where on record. Illinois, after re-

know of no state of the Union that
has n better or stronger act.
In addition to this the factory inspec-
ton law was amended in several i'm.
portant particulars.
AT the last session of the supreme
court the act of 1899 providing for
free employment offices in certain cit
les was declared invalid on account of
! provision therein prohibiting those
in charge of said offices from sending
help to places where the employees
were on strike or lockout. The court,
contrary to all former rules of con-
struction. held that that particular sec
ton invalidated the entire law. In con-
sequence of this the general assembly
re-enacted the law, striking out the
Objectionable section and inserting
other important changes. 1t
Is fortunate that this decision came
when the legislature was in session
AZ it furnished an opportunity to en-
act a law stronger and broader in its
provisions.

chanics' liens; prohibiting deductionsof

Western North Carolina is attract

when the trees are budding and the

inviting than trip to this beautiful

The months of April and May in the

The climate at this season is delight

Governor VIII Probably Sign tho Measure
Some Comments OF j. H. HainIine.
Springfield, Ills. May 8. = 1t is
wholly matter of speculation as to
what Governor Yates will do about
signing the Mueller bill, but the belief
is growing that the measure will ie-
ceive his approval. The governor re-
turned to the executive mansion at g
p. m. yesterday, after having been alb
sent all day in connection with some
business affairs of his late brother
Henry Yates. He refused to say what
he was going to do in the matter of
signing the municipal ownership bill,
contending himself with the statement
that it would receive his due and care
full consideration.
In answer to the governors request
upon John III. Hamline, of Chicago, for
an opinion as to the legal effect of the
Mueller bill, Hamline has written the
governor saying that aside from the
Trautmann or Bliss amendments 1t is
a pure municipal ownership bill and as
such would be unobjectionable but for
one clause" This clause is the one fol
lowing the grant to the city OF power
to acquire street railways by purchase
or by condemnation and provides that
il condemnation is provided lin no
vaIuationof thestreet railway property
for the purpose of such acquisition, ex-
cept of street railways now operated
under existing franchises, shall any
sum be included as the value of any
earning power of such property. or of
the unexpired portion of any franchise
granted by said city,"
Hamline says of this clause: "This
would preclude the city of Chi
cago from acquiring by condemnation
within quite a number of years large
part of the street railways of Chicago,
except by paying for the good will or
franchise value thereof, because 4
large proportion of the franchises do
not terminate this year, but terminate
at different periods during quite a
number of years TO come. On the con-
trary, if the ninety -nine-year act be
valid this would oblige the city to pay
the franchise value of all lines covered
by the ninet -nine-year act" This
would include existing terminals
