cLAeUE MAKES A RECORD.
First Saturday Session Fails to Result
in Members Exhaustion.

The first Saturday session Of the
house was not marked by as much
strenuous labor as was prognosticated
by the anxious to work" attitude Of
the Industrious ones Friday.
The session consumed a little less
than one hour, and aside from the re-
ception of a dozen bills, the accom-
phshments of the time saving session
were microscopic.
In the absence of Speaker Babcock,
called home by illness in his family,
representative Deming presided. The
calendar was reached in about a half
hour. 1t contained four bills, and they
are all there yet. The members in
charge of the several measures asked
in turn that their bills be passed over
for the day, and naturally enough no
objections were recorded.
AS presiding officer of the house in
committee of the whole, Representa-
tive Frank Clague holds the session
record for speed. The general orders
also contained four bills. Three Of
them are still in general orders. One
was. advanced to the calendar after
the obstructionists had time briefly to
go on record as ignorant Of the pro-
visions of the Dunn bill making sep
arate representative districts of the
First and Second wards, st. Paul. 1t
was all over in fifteen minutes, and by
resolution the house adjourned until
IL o'clock Monday morning.

LONDON, Feb. MAUD Come, the

an ideal one, when the characters and
the history Of Maj. Mcbride and Miss

this kind do not take place more than
once in century, and hence the en-

Of unusual interest.
Miss Come has made warm admir-
ers and friends in London, especially
among the home rule section of the
Liberal party, who like her as much
as the ultra Unionists hate her. Her
great beauty, her youth and the glamor
of her wealth, together with her pas
sionate devotion TO the cause of Irish
liberty, have made her a notable figure
Miss Come inherited the wealth OF

CHICAGO, Feb. From end to end
Of the Chicago & North Western rail-
way system tomorrow many thousands
Of employees will spend their first Sun
day at home. Orders have been is
sued by the management which will
result In a general Sunday observance
throughout the system, and it is the
purpose to change the Sabbath day
from the hardest day Of the week into
a day of rest, recreation and enjoy
ment for a vast army of employees.
For the first time since the organiza-
ton of the North Western road fifty
years ago, not g ton of dead freight
except coal will be moved on Sunday
and If the plan is a success this will
be the condition each succeeding Sun
day hereafter. The management has
expressed the hope that the North
Westerns example will be followed by
other systems. The order issued by
the North Western instructs all division
ment of freight tomorrow to the hand
ling of live stock, meat and perishable
shipments. The sole exception Is in ia
vor of coal and fuel of all kinds and
the necessary coal cars to keep the
mines supplied. When the coal FAM

arrange matters so that the greatest
possible number of engine and freight
train crews shall be at their home sta
tions by Sunday morning or Sunday
noon at the latest. If this can be ac-
complished by starting the crews out
at midnight, the superintendents are
instructed to do so. 1t is further pro-
vided that all switchmen and yard
crews, except those necessary to move
the perishable freight, shall be giver
their time between a. m. and p. m

REAR ADMIRAL FRANK
WILDES DIES AT SEA
Death overtakes Him While on the
Way Home From China.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 7. =
Rear Admiral Frank Wildes, of the
United States navy, died suddenly
on board the steamer China yester>
day morning. He was on his way
home from China on sick leave when
death overlook him.
Admiral Wildes has recently been in
charge of the fleet in Manila, his serv-
ice on the station dating from June,
1902 From the first the trying eli
mate seemed to- be too much, and
under the strain of the continued
heat and excessive humidity he con-
stantly lost strength, until the naval
board of survey finally pronounced
him physically unfit for active duty
and ordered him home to recuperate.
From the time Admiral Wildes board
ed the China at Hongkong he failed
steadily. In Honolulu he was unable
to leave his berth. The body was
embalmed and brought into port.
Adn<Sal Wildes was appointed from
Massachusetts, and his family lived
in Boston. On the voyage the admiral
| told his fellow officers that he expected
death soon, and a day or two before
the end came he arranged with Lieut..
| Andrews to take charge OF all his ef-
| fects and care for his remains. He
was dressing yesterday morning when
| he was suddenly seized with heart fail
| ure. He died in FIVE minutes. Ad-

Would Protect
the Careless Consumers
Against Mistaken Use of
Coal Oil and Gasoline by
Coloring One and Selling
the Other in Colored Cans.

The Standard Oil company is not TO
escape the attention of the Thirty
third legislature. Three bills were in
troduced in the house yesterday for
the regulation Of the sale Of kerosene
and gasoline.
The nature of the bills and their di-
rect texts indicate as their authors
claim that they are designed to provide
partial protection from recurrence of
fatal accidents similar to the unusually
large number which occurred in Min
nesota within few weeks.
Dye Kerosene Red.
Mr.. Mork has the claim of priority
with his bill governing the preparation
of kerosene for sale in Minnesota. His
bill provides that all kerosene or coal
oil kept or intended for sale in Mime
sofa must be colored a deep red by
the use of alkanet or similar dye stuff.
The offer for sale of oils not conform
ing with the requirements of the bill
is defined as a miSdemeanor punish
able by a fine of not less than $25 nor
more than $100, or in default of fine,
by imprisonment for term of not less
than thirty nor more than ninety days.
Red Cans and License.
Representatives Walter Lemon, Ram
sey, and Larson, Grant county, would
prevent the mistaken use of gasoline
for kerosene by keeping the explosive
in cans painted a distinguishing red.
Mr.. Lemons bill goes rather farther
than that of the Grant county physl-
clan. The Lemon bill provides that
gasoline may not be sold in lots Of less
than ten gallons save means painted
| red and distinctly labeled gasoline 9
All persons selling gasoline are
brought under the jurisdiction of the
! oil inspector, who must inspect their
| places of business once in every six
months. The dealers are also required
to secure license from the state in
| spector, for which they are to be
charged a fee of 81.
| The Larson bill makes similar provi-
sions, but does not include state inspee-
ton or license. Both provide misde-
meanor punishments for infractions,
and all of the bills are drawn to be-
come effective as soon as enacted.

JOHN D, ROCKEFELLER
DICTATES To CONGRESS

not the first time the Standard Oil
company, through its attorneys, had
attempted to influence legislation at
this session. The attorneys, it was
said, had opposed the adoption of the
amendments to the measure suggested
by Attorney General Knox to the house
judiciary committee.
Subsequently, when what is known
as the Littlefield bill was reported to
the house, the Standard Oil compa-
ny's counsel began to devote their op-
position particularly to the Nelson
amendment to section Of the depart
ment Of commerce bill-the amend
ment which contains practically the
publicity features of the Knox anti
trust bill. They did not want that in
corporated in the measure, and 1t is
said used their utmost efforts to pre-
vent its favorable consideration. They
were unsuccessful, as the bill with
that amendment was agreed upon
unanimously today by the conference
Of the two branches of congress.
Long and Essential Step.
The action of the conferees, 1t is
understood, was greeted with salts
! faction by the officials Of the admin
| istration, as it is regarded as a long
and essential step toward the kind of
anti trust legislation that both the
president and attorney general think
will be effective 1t is this legislation
| particularly that the Standard Oil
! company so vigorously objected to, and
which it hoped might be headed off or
emasculated through appeals made to
| senators before it reached the stage or
/ actual passage.
It is said by authority that the ad
! ministration hopes that the ElkinS re-
bate bill, which was passed by the
senate this week. will be passed In
| the house. While this measure is op-
| posed also by those who are in favor
of no antitrust legislation, the special
opposition to 1t does not come from
| the Standard Oil company, because 1t
is explained that corporation has
grown beyond any efforts the enforce
ment of such legislation might have
upon it.
VIII EIkins Bill Become Law?
The president, it is understood, re-
CARDS the Elkins bill as essential to a
rounding out of the administration
plan for anti trust legislation, and it
is believed by those in close touch with
him and with the forces IN congress
| that 1t may yet be enacted into law
Tonight the efforts being made tc
| defeat or emaSculate pending anti
trust legislation formed subjects OF
: animated conferences. Indeed, the
subject is likely to be developed into
some detail in congress. One of the
receivers of the kilograms signed
! John D. Rockefeller" said:

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. T.

less antitrust legislation, at least rea-

Fifty-eighth congress. The president
himself has told members Of congress
of his desire and Of his determination
in this regard. 1t is understood that
this announcement Will be direct ana

It is further stated that the determi-
nation Of the president was reached
only after careful consideration of the
strenuous efforts that are being made
TO defeat any antitrust legislation by
congress. These efforts have covered
a wide range. They were characterized
today by one Republican leader as
